Can't Find the Spinoza Stamp Details On line (Israel, biblical)

[macnietspingal]

Seems the wealthy politicians are hiding the Spinoza Stamp details (which I have hopefully somewhere in my disorganized condo) from all of us so I can't demonstrate that Israel has accepted Spinoza as one of the greatest Jewish philosophers ever, years ahead of his time. On top of that, don't know if you buy the stamp that the accompanying description, citation is part of the purchase.

I used the right keywords and found it. http://english.israelphilately.org.i...tent/en/000744 Now this is how I interpret YHWH myself. All 6007 times of the Hebrew Biblical word. Some of which times includes different forms of "el..."/allah.
" Spinoza’s view of nature rested on the scientific way of thinking and many of his ideas were before their time. Although Spinoza created repercussions in his lifetime, and even more so after the enlightenment period in Germany in the 18th Century, no school of thought is named after him. The last twenty years have seen a revival in interest in Spinoza even amongst the philosophical schools of thought that were allegedly far from his philosophy"

But here we find ...

After the Second World War a copy of the Theological-Political Treatise that Spinoza personally gave to a friend on 23 July 1676 with a dedication in his hand writing (see the first day cover) reached G.H. Shikmoni at “The Spinoza House” in Haifa. This book was donated to the University of Haifa and it can be found there today. David Ben-Gurion and many others saw Spinoza as a source of pride for the Jewish people along with Freud and Einstein. ...

The main issue in Spinoza’s doctrine, involving the rare combination of extremely original and bold ideas for his time and classical philosophy, centers on God, not as the Creator but as Nature perceived as a systematic whole where every detail has its necessary place. [ibid]

I see nothing here to suggest that Spinoza was beloved by Ben-Gurion and absolutely nothing to support the inane claim that "if Spinoza were alive today he probably would replace the word 'god' in his ETHICS with YHWH."

As for the fixation with the number 6007, you might wish to look here.

My Davka Soncino Talmud did the counting and listed separately in Hebrew all the instances of YHWH. Find someone with this electronic essential Jewish document and see for yourself. Let them send you a copy. Better still get the DVD and learn Judaism yourself the right/write/rite way. One size fits all, just different shapes.
