The Reno Gazette Journal's FAITH FORUM ASKS:

Do Angels Continue To Exist?

Rabbi Beyer says, that there are...

Angels Among Us

Tradition teaches that angels are beings from one of the spiritual worlds. Some existed from the beginning of time and are within the fixed order of the Universe. They are messengers of G-d existing in a spiritual way, but may take on "garments" of this world to become visible. As the Bible says, angels visited Abraham, saved Hagar and Ishmael, spoke in the burning bush to Moses and Jacob wrestled with one who changes Jacob's name to "Israel." Our liturgy speaks of angels in many places.

Angels may incite a person to do evil doing G-d's will to test a person. Even Satan is viewed as a prosecuting attorney/angel, doing G-d's will. Interestingly, they can be "created" by us when someone connects holy intention with doing holy work. "Transformative holy work is the chief component that becomes an angel." Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz's classic work on Kabbalah, "The Thirteen Petaled Rose."

Faith Forum appears each Sunday in the Local Life Section of the Reno Gazette Journal. Faith Forum clergy answer a question posed each week and responses in the paper are limited to 150 words. Rabbi Beyer is featured as the "Jewish" response. In February 2013 it was 2 YEARS for Faith Forum column in the RGJ. This interfaith group is now working towards a book which would be an edited collection of these columns. See their website at www.nevadafaithforum.org

Many thanks to those making donations.

Blessings to you and your family.

We are blessed by your support.

Torah portion done by G-d Cast Link

Temple Beth Or is an evolving group dedicated to Jewish values and learning. We support chevruta study (partner or small group study) and "experiencing" G-d. Friday night Shabbat services are musical, filled with ruach (passion) and the food is sweet. Our ongoing partner includes the Jewish Community of Elko County. We are also a sister congregation to North Tahoe Hebrew Congregation at Tahoe Vista, Lake Tahoe.
