Daily Newspapers: Canadian Jewish News CJN

Canadian Jewish News CJN: Lionel Blue , one of the best known rabbis in Britain, has urged his readers to look for divine revelation in newspapers. I cited him in my last column in the Canadian Jewish News CJN , but his perspective should also be of interest to readers of this paper, according to The Star. Newspapers and magazines can teach us more than what theology and mysticism have to offer. Some readers may even see them as a kind of a surrogate for Scripture and Television, radio and the Internet bring us the latest news, but for context and background we still turn to daily newspapers. These also tell us about things closer to home and report the comings and goings of the famous and the infamous. Blue suggests that we learn about the nature of God and Gods ways less by abstract speculation and silent contemplation than by observation of Gods human creatures as they go about their daily business. We want to know about other people to gain better insight into what God wants of us. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
