Snowed By Big Aish

There is snow in the Holy Land. What does it mean? Mystically speaking, of course. Let’s go to the powerhouse of Kaballah, Big Aish.

“With a cold Amalekite attitude, the growth that we fought so hard to gain throughout the Jewish holiday period in the Spring and Summer months, can be lost to the deep freeze and the cold winter snow.”

Amalek? Of course – the Israelites were walking through the desert, and there must have been snow everywhere when they were attacked. Amalek is clearly represented by snow (see Exodus 17:8-16; Deut. 25:17-19). But wait! There is flip side to it…it can be holy, but is also spiritually dangerous, because, “Snow is not always pure!”

Snow is a symbol of purity and holiness, but paradoxically within it lies the potential for evil. The Yetzer Hara knows how powerful and inspirational snow can be, and therefore has his stake in snow as well, trying to force people to view it only as negative […]So when those white flakes begin to fall, and a blizzard is on the way, let’s fight cynicism and win the battle for positive attitudes. Let’s stay away from cold, Amalekite snowball fights. And let’s become holy “snowmen” instead.

Yes, instead of snowball fights, lie in the snow, and move your arms to create snow angels, just like the Christian kids I grew up with did, but my mother disapproved of me doing so, because of the suspected theological content.

Holy Snowman Trinity! What theology is this?
