5 legged Table Booklets

As part of Melitz’s “5 Legged Table project”, we are proud to present the following booklets.
The first booklet deals with “The 9 days of we” (click for more info)
The second booklet “The 5 Legged Seder Table” is a preparation for  Passover and the Seder.
In the future we plan to produce more booklets on a variety of topics and events from the Jewish Peoplehood world. These booklets will enable you to familiarize yourself with Abraham Infeld’s Unique educational approach.

 

Judaism is NOT a religion!

Judaism is NOT a religion!

How could that be? Who are the Jews and what is Judaism, if not a religion? Avraham Infeld argues that Judaism is a civilization, a nation and a people, and not a religion.

And the story of how Jews reacted to the Emancipation and became seen as a religion is the subject of the material in this section. You will find an essay by Avraham and other videos containing Avraham’s ideas and teachings. Please join the “Table Talk” and tell us what you think.

Being Jewish is like having a 5 legged table

“Being Jewish is like having a 5 legged table”

The 5 Legged Table is Avraham Infeld’s metaphor for describing a strong and stable Jewish identity and according to Avraham, there are 5 components, or “legs” that combine to make up a person’s Jewish identity; Memory, Family, Covenant, Israel and Hebrew.

This Page is dedicated to exploring the metaphor of the 5 Legged Table and Avraham Infeld’s teachings about Jewish life and identity. Click on each “leg” to find video material connected to these ideas, and read responses to them from Jewish educators and leaders from around the world.

Building a Strong Table

Choosing at least three of the components of Jewish identity, or “legs” provides a stable platform for living a Jewish life and contributing to the world. Less than three, and your “table” or platform of Jewish identity will topple over; more than three makes it more sturdy.

Choosing three also means that every Jew shares at least something with every other Jew, even though they may look different and have very different lifestyles, cultures and customs. Despite the difference in Jewish expression, Jews share some of these elements through the way they build their own identities. Which “legs” make up the foundation for your Jewish identity?
