I am studying to convert to Judaism and one of the questions I was asked was about the Ten Commandments. I remember reading at that time that there was debate about the division of the statements Moses brought down on tablets and that they are, in Hebrew, more commonly called the "Ten Statements" than the "Ten Commandments." I am particularly interested in the "first" and whether or not it is considered a commandment to believe in G-d. After all, how can a person be commanded to have a particular belief?
Belief in God cannot possibly be a commandment.
A commandment is something one fulfills because he already believes in the one who is commanding it. Thus, a commandment to believe in the existence of the commander is an absurdity; it assumes in its fulfillment that it has already been fulfilled. (This argument was presented by R' Hasdai Crescas.)
For this reason, many Rishonim did not count those first few words of the ten statements - "I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage" - as a commandment, but rather as an introductory line to the entire monologue. [There is a Talmudic statement, though, that the first two commandments came from God directly, and they are identified as the first two statements of the ten. How to count those two commandments is a discussion in itself.]
Now, what to make of the Rambam, who counted belief in God as the first commandment, and tied it to this first verse of the ten commandments? The answer is proposed by Abarbanel in Rosh Amanah as follows:
The commandment is not belief in God, but rather the belief that God has certain qualities, namely that He is independent of all other existences and that all other existences are dependent upon Him. This is evident from Rambam's description of this mitzva in the Mishna Torah (Hil. Yesodei Hatorah 1:1-3) (my own translation):
A more detailed description of this idea can be found in the first of Rambam's thirteen principles. Essentially, the commandment is that we should believe that God, whom it is already assumed that we believe in His existence, possesses the above qualities.
What about the fact that I cannot command someone to believe something? A person believes what he believes; he cannot be forced. To this Abarbanel responds that the commandment is not to actually believe, but rather to contemplate. We are commanded not to blindly follow faith, but rather to strive toward knowledge and to weigh it approprately to come to the conclusion that the above is true. (Admittedly, I don't fully understand this concept, but it seems that given the information that is available to us and our traditions, it is reasonable that we come to the correct conclusion.)
See this article for more information.
There is no question that knowing that Gd exists is a Commandment (Mitzvah). It is listed as Mitzvah number 1 in Rambam's list of 613.
However, in Judaism we have an obligation to Know, and to learn, and to understand that Gd exists, not to believe, in the Western understanding of the word believe.
As you state in your question, how can you force a person to believe something they don't, or how can you even ask them to? It's impossible!
The Hebrew word for "faith" or "believe" is Emuna. And there is certainly a mitzvah to have Emuna IN hashem, in addition to the mitzvah to know and understand that Gd exists. The main difference here, is that in modern western colloquial speech we talk about "Faith THAT Gd Exist", instead of "Faith IN Gd". The difference is large. One does not need Faith that a parent exists. However, if a parent is abusive or doesn't follow up on their word, a child might lose faith in that parent. The same meaning here is for Gd. We must trust that Hashem will provide for us, that He will keep his word, etc.
The first commandment of the 10 commandments is that we should know and understand and have faith that Hashem, the creator of the World, is the same Gd that took us out of Egypt and deals kindly with the Jewish people. We must build a relationship, learn about Gd's ways, and have faith In him.
There are different views among the rishonim whether this belief counts as one of the 613 mitzvos or is a more fundamental basis for all Judaism. Either way, it is definitely obligatory, and without the belief in God, Judaism is meaningless.
Just as God commanded man to not believe in other gods, He also commanded us to believe in God. Someone who believes in a rain-god must work at eradicating this belief, perhaps by recognizing that the clouds and rain are not an interdependent force, but part of nature. Similarly, if one doesn't believe in God, he should work at recognizing God. For example, by recognizing that there has to be a source of the world's existence, or that the universe is too fine-tuned to have happened by chance.
There are two parts to your question.
The first is an apparently simple question as to whether or not there is an actual commandment in Judaism to believe in God. Maimonides, and most other authorities, consider the obligation to believe in God to be one of the 613 commandments, and see this as the commandment expressed in the first sentence of the 10 "commandments". There are some authorities, such as the Behag, who did not include this obligation in their catalog of the 613 commandments.
It is important to understand that all of these opinions, whether or not they include the obligation to believe in God in their formal catalog of the commandments or not, consider belief in God to be absolutely obligatory and foundational to Judaism. There are several reasons why the belief in God might not be listed in a formal catalog of the commandments. One simple reason is that the concept of a commandment presupposes the existence of an authority that issues commands. A commandment to believe in the existence of the authority that issued the commandment is logically impossible. In this sense, belief in God would constitute a kind of "meta-obligation" that exists independently of, and logically prior to, the commandments.
This question is so basic that it raises the question of how to understand the position of those, like Maimonides, who included the obligation to believe in their catalog of the commandments.
It also brings us to the second part of your question, how can a person be commanded to believe in God? Either he believes, in which case the commandment is unnecessary, or he doesn't believe, in which the commandment has no authority to him.
(I would point out that this question does not apply to other beliefs. Once a person has accepted that God exists, and that He reveals His will to human beings, then it is perfectly possible for Him to command us to believe various other things, which we can and must believe based only on the authority of His statement.)
There are several answers to this question, all of which basically create a separation between the basic recognition of God's existence, which, in fact, cannot be commanded, and the commandment of belief, which starts only after that basic recognition has been achieved.
One such approach is that the commandment to believe is to internalize that basic intellectual recognition of God's existence into our personality. There is a great distance between intellectually acknowledging a truth and making that truth an integral part of how you think and feel. There are a wide range of methods that can be used for this purpose. It is this that we are commanded to do by the first commandment.
A somewhat different, more mussar oriented, approach is found in other sources (the best known exposition of this approach is from Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman). This approach argues that the truth of God's existence is so self-evident that it should be immediately obvious to any person of normal intelligence. Why then do so many intelligent people fail to recognize this truth? The answer is that human beings have an extraordinary talent for self-deception, and when we don't want to accept a truth, we are very capable of fooling ourselves into believing that the truth isn't true.
According to this approach, the commandment to believe is a commandment to work on ourselves to remove those natural inclinations and character flaws that cause us to fool ourselves and to deny that which should be obvious. Once we do so, the truth of God's existence will come naturally as a self-evident truth.

At 106 square meters the home packs an efficient living space, putting private spaces to the end and public spaces in the center. The design focuses in on the lower kitchen to create the home's natural work flow. Small upper and lower gardens bookend the building, with the roof opening up for greenery.
The roof raises up from ground level to reduce the impact of seasonal weather— cold winds from the north and hot winds and rays from the south. Besides two small vertical windows cut into the roof, all the windows face a small inner courtyard. The resulting effect is that most daylight emanates from the core where the communal spaces have been placed.
The house is naturally cooled with prevailing air currents. The incoming air crosses a small pool at one end and the two small gardens at the other. The open core and louvered floors helps air move across the lower levels to those above in carefully designed channels, and the air is eventually exhausted at the upper inner courtyard. The lower floor also connects the two levels for the parents to communicate to the children above.

We're learning new details about what happened in that tragic Christmas Eve shooting that killed two West Webster firefighters and injured two others. Police are crediting the heroic work of some of their own for saving many more lives that day.
"Fire dispatcher to West Webster, mutual assist. Report of a house on fire, 191 Lake Rd."
"Vehicle on fire, house is catching as well."
West Webster firefighters were dispatched to Lake Rd. in the early morning hours of December 24th.
"125 on scene reporting car with exposure problems."
Following Webster Police Department protocol, several Webster Police officers responded to the scene as well.
"The officers who responded that evening say it was an incredibly black night, that they couldn't see anything," said Chief Gerald Pickering.
"Start a couple ambulances, you got a couple firefighters down in the road."
Firefighter Ted Scardino had been shot in the shoulder and the leg. Firefighter Joseph Hofstetter had been shot in the pelvis.
"I'm taking cover now... He's going to be across the street from the fire."
Chief Pickering says Reed saw the muzzle flashes from shooter William Spengler's gun. Reed shot back. Reed then saw Spengler start to run, but was unsure where he'd gone. He radioed back everything he could, stopping others from coming into the line of fire.
"Shots fired on my end. He went down. I don't know if I hit him or not. He's by a tree."
"The actions of Officer Mark Reed directly impacted the decisions of the shooter. The shooter never anticipated an immediate police response to this fire. The shooter felt that he would have an unchallenged opportunity to kill firefighters," Pickering said.
Webster Police Sergeant Kevin Hall arrived on scene. Using a ballistic shield, he moved in to check on firefighter Kaczowka and realized he had died. Hall went back to his car to get his police rifle.
More officers arrived. Webster police officer Shaun Welch and Irondequoit police officer Doug Pollock took posts near the waterfront. All of them helped establish a perimeter.
"When the shooter was located, so was a rifle, a shotgun, a handgun, and over 400 rounds of ammo. Police officials are certain they would have been used had it not been for the heroic efforts of the four officers and countless others who responded to the incident that day," Pickering said.
Investigators say Spengler shot off at least 38 rounds that were accounted for. They believe that number is closer to 58, but many of the spent casings are probably lost in the rocks at the scene.
Spengler eventually shot and killed himself.
Chief Pickering says from the first shots fired to that last and final one, it was all of about five to six minutes; five to six minutes that so many families, this department, and this community will never forget.
"I've said this before, we're bent, we're broken a little bit, but we're strong we're going to pull together and move forward," Pickering said.
Officer Reed is back to work. Chief Pickering says the department has put him in for Officer of the Year.

Leaked Mini Cooper JCW GP specs suggest 218 HP, fully adjustable suspension
by Jeffrey N. Ross (RSS feed) on Sep 5th, 2012 at 10:51AM
Mini officially unveiled the John Cooper Works GP back in May, but it has yet to release any official specs or details about its limited-production hot hatch. Fortunately, the folks over at MotoringFile.com have apparently stumbled upon some leaked spec sheets for the European version of the car. (Official U.S. specs and features are reportedly set to be released later this month). We already knew the John Cooper Works GP is going to be 19 seconds faster around the Nürburgring than the 2006 Mini GP, but what we didn't know is how exactly Mini shaved that much time from the car....

Chicago Marathon, 2012: 'People have discovered running'
BY JON SEIDEL firstname.lastname@example.com October 6, 2012 4:09PM
Larry Moon Bib #127- Lakefront, running in the 1978 Chicago Marathon
TOday: Wheelchair start at 7:20 | First wave of runners starts at 7:30, second wave at 8. | Info: chicagomarathon.com
Article Extras
Updated: November 8, 2012 11:58AM
Back in 1977, when Chicago's 26.2-mile race was known as the Mayor Daley Marathon, a few of its original runners said they didn't quite know what they were doing. And people didn't quite know what to make of them.
That was a time before couch-to-marathon training guides. When Ron Williams of Downers Grove said he probably ran three marathons in the same pair of shoes and saw others racing in blue jeans — "it was crazy," he said.
That's also the year when Randy Burt's pre-race meal was pizza and wine. It's probably not the kind of meal he'd have today, now that he said he's qualified for the Boston Marathon many times in the last 25 years. He and Williams have also run the Chicago Marathon every year and will do it again Sunday. Looking back, Burt said, he and his fellow runners were ahead of the curve in 1977.
Even if their non-runner friends didn't get it.
"Back then," Burt said, "we were looked at as oddballs."
Now everything's changed. Sunday's Bank of America Chicago Marathon has drawn 45,000 registered runners from all 50 states and 115 countries. It's estimated that last year's marathon pumped about $220 million into the Chicago economy.
Four world records have been set here, and it's one of the five World Marathon Majors along with Berlin, Boston, London and New York City. Registration for the race closed in six days this year, 25 days ahead of the last record set in 2011. It took 35 weeks for the race to fill up as recently as 2003.
"People have discovered running," said race director Carey Pinkowski.
Talk of a marathon in Chicago began in November 1976, but it wasn't until May 1977 that Dr. Noel Nequin of Swedish Covenant Hospital organized Chicago's first "mega race" — the Ravenswood Bank Lakefront 10-Mile Run. More than 1,000 runners participated, and Mayor Michael Bilandic and his wife Heather handed out awards to the winners.
The support from Bilandic, an avid runner himself, gave the marathon's founders inspiration to see if a marathon could succeed here. The original race on Sept. 25, 1977, had a $5 entry fee and 4,200 registered participants. The men's winner was Dan Cloeter of Indiana with a time of 2:17:52, and the women's winner was Dorothy Doolittle of Texas with a time of 2:50:47.
The course records are now held by Moses Mosop of Kenya for the men with a time of 2:05:37 in 2011, Paula Radcliffe of Great Britain with 2:17:18 in 2002 for the women, Heinz Frei of Switzerland with 1:26:56 for the men's wheelchair race in 2010 and Ann Walters of Champaign, Ill., with 1:44:29 for the women's wheelchair race in 1992.
Since 1977, the race has seen a handful of sponsors, though a half-marathon had to be held in 1987 because of a loss in sponsorship. Old Style signed on from 1988-1990. LaSalle Bank took over from 1994-2007, and the race became the Bank of America Chicago Marathon in 2008.
The race's largest growth year was 1997, when it jumped to 16,372 registered participants from 10,925 in 1996.
Runners and organizers also have been forced to deal with extreme conditions. There was snow in 1993. And in 2007, they endured a record-setting, dangerous high temperature of 89 degrees that forced organizers to cancel the race while it was in progress. One runner died and hundreds sought medical attention.
The next year, marathon organizers instituted a new warning system including flags, signs and a public-address system to alert runners if weather conditions were becoming dangerous.
Pinkowski, who became race director in 1990, said the marathon was still seen as more of an "extreme" sport when he arrived. He said the marathon was filled with former runners, people who ran in high school or college.
"It was really more of a competition," Pinkowski said.
But he and others have seen the obvious rise in the popularity of running, especially around Chicago. Meg Sullivan, the training program manager for the Chicago Area Runners Association, believes the country is in the midst of another running boom similar to that of the 1970s. And she's seen particular interest in the Chicago Marathon.
She said more people have shown up for CARA's marathon training program this year than any other in the last five or six years. That training program celebrated its 24th anniversary this year, she said.
And like in the early days of the Chicago Marathon, she said the runners who started it didn't have "all the Gatorade." Sullivan — who said Randy Burt's pre-race meal of pizza and wine back in 1977 doesn't sound all that bad — said it was just a small group of friends who wanted to get a beer after their run.
"That's basically how it started," Sullivan said.

Use this training video to keep sprinklers in top shape!
Automatic sprinkler systems are a very important element of fire protection today. And if they're properly inspected, tested and maintained, they're almost 100% effective. Inspection and Testing of Automatic Sprinkler Systems is a dynamic instructional program that clearly demonstrates and explains the procedures that must be followed to maximize the reliability and performance of these vital fire protection devices.
Promote an understanding of the theory and practice of inspecting and testing sprinklers.
Employees who conduct tests and perform maintenance activities will learn to carry out procedures correctly and with the right frequency. Those who oversee contract personnel who perform these duties will be able to evaluate their performance based on a solid foundation of knowledge.
Give workers the know-how to apply provisions in NFPA 25 or supervise contractors who do!
Fire demonstrations in test facilities, computer animations, and clear examples of recognized "best practices" illustrate such key concepts as:
- How the different types of sprinkler systems work
- Inspection and testing requirements for each of the main sprinkler system components
- System failures that can result from lack of or improper inspection, testing, and maintenance
Ensure proper compliance with NFPA 25!
If you're a facility director, engineering or maintenance manager, training director, or loss prevention manager, improve your job performance with this instructive video program! (28 min., Instructor's Guide)

started cutting into it 1.5 years ago; started piecing blocks last summer; finished piecing blocks at a retreat in February; finally sewed all the blocks together at the beginning of the summer, then it still took me 2 months to add the borders and choose a back; had someone else do the quilting last week. And voila. It is finally done.

Love how the green frames the florals. It's almost like the flowers are climbing up a trellis. (Lovely quilting by Melissa too!)ReplyDelete
Absolutely gorgeous!!ReplyDeleteReplies
I ditto krista! Gorgeous!Delete
Love the color and style of this quilt------I think I had those sheets back in the early 70's. Now why didn't I keep them?ReplyDelete
This might be my favorite of all the quilts you've shared. It is just perfect!ReplyDelete
So gorgeous!!! Love the colors!! Happy day! xo HollyReplyDelete
It is a beautiful quilt. Very summery.ReplyDelete

I love this quilt. I have some vintage sheets I have been saving and I am going to use your pattern for them. Your quilt is just perfect.ReplyDelete
It's beautiful! The colors are so cheery and pretty! :-)ReplyDelete
This is gorgeous! Thanks for the timeline behind the quilt, too. You're right: blogland does make it seem like people are cranking out quilts left and right; but this provided good perspective!ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I think I'm going to start my vintage sheet collection this week!!ReplyDelete
So lovely! And thanks for the honest breakdown of your timeline. :) It's a good reminder that lingering projects can eventually get finished. :)ReplyDelete
Wrote! That is absolutely gorgeous!ReplyDelete

I love this fabric line and have used it for many projects. Love what you have done with it. Great quilt!ReplyDelete
I love it! It is breathtaking. Good work friend!ReplyDelete
It is so darling. I really love it. It has such a good vibe. All your stuff is great but I really love this one.ReplyDelete
Thanks for describing the "serial" nature of this quilt's process. The fabrics are so cheerful. The back is perfect. It's hard to find all-cotton sheets at the thrift shop, but I search diligently -- which includes searching for the hang-tag to verify the fiber content. Oftentimes sheets have been washed so much that the tag is illegible.ReplyDelete
Love love love this quilt, it's so HAPPY!ReplyDelete
This is gorgeous! I love all the citrus colors!ReplyDelete
Absolutely gorgeous! Great job!ReplyDelete
All of your design decisions are perfect! I especially love the green contrast. Thanks for sharing another great quilt.ReplyDelete
It's amazing! Nice work. :)ReplyDelete

a wonderful quilt, not only a lovely design but the fabrics are to die for, love everything about this one.ReplyDelete
It is really wonderful and Yes so perfectly summery.ReplyDelete
That sheet was made for that quilt! What a perfect backing.ReplyDelete
This. Is. STUNNING!ReplyDelete
Beautiful finish!! Love it these fabrics with that green.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous . Love the fabrics and the vintage sheet. & sheets looksReplyDelete
What is it about vintage sheets that is so appealing? The color? The nostalgic feeling? No matter, I love it. This quilt is gorgeous, Amy! ~KarissaReplyDelete
I'm not normally a one-fabric-line-kinda-gal, but this is one that I LOVE (but sadly missed out on)! Love that it blends so well with "real" vintage as well. Thanks for keeping it real with your time line. :)ReplyDelete
So pretty! I agree about the green solid! I like to do that in mine, too. Love how the different florals blend.ReplyDelete
What a lovely & happy quilt!ReplyDelete
It looks great, and perfect choice for the backing :o)ReplyDelete
Pretty, pretty colors!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful quilt. I love the citrus colors.ReplyDelete
Hi Amy, what a lovely quilt, such gorgeous, fresh, summery colours - the sort of quilt that makes you feel happy just looking at it. Really pretty....ReplyDelete
I love this! Such a great pattern, and fun fabrics!ReplyDelete
Just stunning quilt and colorful fabrics.Love it!ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilt! I LOVE the backing!ReplyDelete
I really love this quilt Amy - it's amazing what different fabrics do to the look of the same pattern. Never fails to amaze me!ReplyDelete
This is a great looking quilt.ReplyDelete
KoolBeenz Blog
Thanks for 'keeping it real' with the timeline! Great pattern + great color choices!ReplyDelete
This is such a "happy" quilt..if that makes sense. I love the fabric. For about 5 years the closest shops to me did not carry Moda, so I guess I missed this line. I would definately bought it!ReplyDelete
I so love this one Amy :)ReplyDelete
this is beautiful and I love the way the green shows of the printsReplyDelete
I love the green contrast and how it is a nice rest from the busyness of the prints. I have a very similar timeline for finishing quilts!ReplyDelete
I have a layer cake of this line with extra yardage! I had it on ebay but removed it because its so wonderful. Thanks for the inspirationReplyDelete

Starfires bury frustrations on big stage
MUNCIE – It may have been out of relief, joy, or just the release of pent up frustrations, but when South Adams defensive coordinator Rod Mosser went leaping across the football field and into the arms of head coach Jason Arnold it was clear that the Starfires found a salve for a season so far filled with agony.
"I don't know what that was,†laughed Arnold when asked about the bear hug from the veteran coach. "I think it was a little bit of the frustrations that have gone on this year, and I think it was a little bit of excitement. He felt good about it.â€
The Starfires struck early and often, and after seeing nearly nothing go their way th...

Mercedes launches first E-Class refresh teaser
by Jeffrey N. Ross (RSS feed) on Nov 19th, 2012 at 6:45PM
Mercedes-Benz has released its first official teaser for its updated 2014 E-Class lineup. The video focuses primarily on the headlights of the E-Class that have a new shape and will offer (at least as an option) full LED lighting including the signals, stylish running lights and adaptive high and low beams. We also note that the the current E's odd four-pod headlight design is being replaced with a more conventional design that fits in with other Mercedes models. Based on the numerous spy shots we've seen for all of the different bodystyles, the new E-Class will be getting a fresh face... Read More

If you need hit/expertise in 5 mans you are doing something VERY wrong with your rotation, there was some justification for having threat stats back when the threat modifier was 300%, now thats up to 500% you just don't need them at all. So what exactly is your rotation?
Spec wise (fingers crossed the links work) THIS is highest threat single target spec, while THIS is the most rage stable single target spec. Basically you want same variant of 8/2/31 with 2 points flaoting between Imp.Rev, Safeguard, and Thunderstruck. You should change your meta at your CTC the Eternal is optimal, think about getting some better trinkets, Spidersilk spindle is fun, and the Mirror of broken images can be ridiculously good. The two you have are a bit meh. Scales is noce but you have to use it often and effectively to make it, well, effective and the stam's not something you particularily need, Stay is also a difficult trinket you use well, and while the static dodge is nice you still would prefere mastery.

2012 BMW M550d xDrive leaves us both giddy and quietly weeping
by Michael Harley (RSS feed) on Mar 7th, 2012 at 2:27AM
Even though we drove it extensively last month, BMW officially took the wraps off of the 2012 BMW M550d xDrive at the Geneva Motor Show. The M-tuned five-passenger sedan continues to put a smile on our face even as it causes yet another salty tear to drip down our cheek. We grin because BMW has dropped a tri-turbo (yes, three turbochargers) 3.0-liter inline-six diesel engine under hood. With a lot of boost, the N57S engine is rated at 376 horsepower and an astounding 546 pound-feet of torque. Mated to an eight-speed automatic, the 5 Series will crack the 60-mile-per-hour benchmark in 4.7... Read More
