Proposed Jewish Spirituality Prompt List
Hello, I recently joined up and am really excited to start! My story has some Jewish themes, so I thought it would be neat if there was a Jewish-spirituality-themed prompt list to remind me to integrate some additional themes as well. I've tried to keep this to a short 10-item list mainly dealing with concepts from ethics and interpersonal relationships, rather than including specific rites like brit or bar/bat mitzvah, or specific holidays or texts, so that it can be more relevant to a fictional religion, or even a non-religious story. I've added English translations, and I believe many of these have Wikipedia articles that could be linked, as well.
Color: Techelet (a shade of blue, I have no opinion on exactly what it should look like)
Prompts:
1. Chesed (loving kindness)
2. Tzedakah (obligation to charity)
3. Teshuvah (repentence)
4. Tashlich (casting off sins)
5. Tikkun Olam (repairing the world)
6. Olam Haba'a (the world to come)
7. Mitzvah (commandment)
8. Gemilut Chasadim (acts of loving kindness)
9. Shalom (peace)
10. Mechilah (forgiveness)
Chesed and Gemilut Chasadim seem kind of similar in the English translation, but I think usually Chesed is God's love for humanity and Gemilut Chasadim means humans doing kind and loving things for each other.
Anyway, please let me know if you think there's something glaringly obvious missing from the list or if you have a better translation or romanization for something.
