Jewish-Sikh Dual Religion combo?

[Toxikmynd]

I am definitely dedicated to the concept of dual religion, and I have chosen my paths, but I'm not sure how they could work in a dual situation, and my clothes iron is broken right now, is there anyone that could maybe lend me theirs to get the wrinkles out? (I'm asking for a discussion on how this could work, and I will share my insight as well)

 

[DawudTalut]

or

Ahmadiyya Muslim understanding of faith is wrinkle free.

 

[Toxikmynd]

I have no problems with Islam, and truthfully, I am pro Islam, but it isn't the path for me.

Like in Sat Siri Akal.... Akal has within its meanings without death; so where the Tanakh has multiple references to God being life and not death, light and not darkness:
Those who love death, hate God.
Those who talk to the dead on behalf of the living, is because there is no light in them.
So in terms of worshiping a God of the living and not of the dead, it is a good start.

 

[DawudTalut]

Peace be on you.
You have identified your goodself as Jewish-Sikh. Allow me to say that Unity of God is common in these both and Islam.

Plus according to Hazrat Ahmadiyya Promised Messiah Mahdi, Hazrat Baba Guru Nanak was actually a Muslim Saint (sorry if any Sikh friends do not agree)

Gives whole new meaning to the phrase "nip and tuck".

Yeah, pretty much. LOL

While Judaism and Sikhism really share a lot of similarities it could be difficult for a Jew to stay Jewish while incorporating some beliefs the Sikhs adhere to.

But then again no idea if you are Jewish.

Well I'm a reform Jew, its an interesting situation.

Friend DawudTalut, I do disagree with the assertion that Guru Nanak Sahib Ji was a Muslim.

Flankerl, can you give any examples where you think Sikh practice would conflict with the Jewish?

Sadly I don't know much about Judaism, so I'm in a difficult position to compare. But you, Toxik and myself can have a discussion and compare.

Can we start by talking about Reform Judaism's concept of God?

 

[Flankerl]

I am sorry but my knowledge of Sikhism is too limited to do so.

 

[Desert Snake]

I wouldn't do it.

What I'm saying is if you can provide Jewish information, I can provide Sikh information, and we can compare and contrast that way. If you are interested.

 

[Treks]

I wouldn't do it.

Do what? And why?

 

[Desert Snake]

Do what? And why?

Mix Judaism and Sikhism. Because there different 'religions', in more than just the sense of being different say, denominations. When I say I'm syncretic, for instance, I'm not talking about 'religions'.
That's my opinion.

 

[Treks]

Thanks for clarifying

 

[Desert Snake]

Hmm I see that the OP already is set on this though, so whatever. Had to read the OP a second time.

Hello and Namaste,

I am a Hindu but I also go to a Sikh temple (in California as well as in Canada). I really enjoy and find good feelings at the Sikh Temple, I definetly recommend you visit a Sikh Temple near you if you have not already. There are three different one's here in California I visit, and one in Burnaby BC. Two of the three here in CA are smaller, but the large one in Fremont CA near the Silicon Valley is wonderful. And frankly, I love to have "lunch" there and often have a nice conversation with other gentlemen. The others as is often the case also have an area for serving food.

I have been to Sikh Temples in India, too, but not the Golden Temple, the gurdwaras in India I visited being Akali. Right now there is a split between the BJP and SAD, so ...

Anyway, as you probably know when you enter the gurdwara you take your shoes off, and wear a covering over your head such as a turban. In front of the temple there will be a box with colored scarfs/cloth you can borrow from to cover your head. Please go, you will be blessed.

There are certainly areas in which the two religions are at odds if you adhere to Orthodox Judaism. The use of wine and the consumption of ritually slaughtered meat in Judaism are both against the tenets of Sikhism (according to the list I saw on the wiki page) as is fasting. If you are not focused on the particular practices of Judaism then I guess the specifics of Sikh practice couldn't bring you to too many conflicts; if you only accept the philosophical ideas of each religion then there are even fewer conflicts but then you don't have any particular religion, just a world view shaped loosely by general ideas.
