Synopsis

Several years ago, I realized that the modern Synagogue had lost this spiritual art, and that, under the influence of radical thought which minimized Emotion and Sentiment, and exalted Reason and Logic, the average Jew of to-day was losing his prayerful sense. Some factor is missing in the modern synagogue, and I have concluded that it is the art of genuine prayer in its real influence on everyday life. Once this art is restored, our places of worship will he again filled by genuine believers in the power of prayer. Our people will turn once more to "The Living God" as in the days of the Psalmists, and Prayer will be restored to its pristine place. It is my fervent hope that this work on Jewish Science will assist in the work of spiritual renaissance. When once circulated and understood, the Jews of to-day will learn that their own religion offers them a complete cup of salvation. Moreover, this special compilation bearing the hall-mark of Judaism will form a useful hand book of Divine Healing, for the Jew who seeks that truth, as well as for the devout and God-fearing Israelite. To the purpose of making Judaism a living reality and an ever-present help this work is dedicated, with the pious prayer that in the language of our fathers it may be "Le Shem Shomayim" or "In the Name of God."

Présentation de l'éditeur

Stack Annex 90% THE CONTROLLING FACTOR THE more science searches into the origin of disease, the more it becomes convinced that the root of physical ailments lies in mental disturbance. The body, of itself, possesses, we find, all the elements that make for health and strength, and if these were not interfered with, mans life upon earth would be untainted with pain or suffering. Interference with the state of the body usually emanates from the mind. The mind is not a mere organ of the body; it is the power-house, the source from which all the organs draw their vitality and their ability to function. The influence of the mind over the body is absolute. Every one is familiar with the fact that bashfulness or embarrassment, purely mental sensations, will cause the blood to rush into the face; while fear, on the other hand, will cause it to recede. Joy expresses itself in bright glances, in a glow of happiness, worry is readily recognized in the drawn mouth and puckered brow. A nger, sorrow, astonishment, all mental states, in fact, bring forth corresponding physical manifestations. These are but some of the superficial aspects of the control of the mind over the body. Physiologists tell us that joy creates a secretion within the body which stimulates the heart and prompts the individual to greater action, while worry creates a secretion of opposite tendency, which retards the inner processes and impedes the efforts of the individual.
