But one whose wisdom takes precedence to his fear of sin, his wisdom does not endure – Ethics of the Fathers Thoughts on the Parshah from Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar Shabbos Parshas Bamidbar - Shavuos As we approach this holy holiday of Revelation, let us learn Torah ourselves And these are the children of and teach those around us whom we love, especially our children, so that Aaron and Moses on the day we transform their lives and give birth to another level of their being “that G-d spoke to Moshe at so that they are not merely Homo sapiens on the globe of earth, like Mount Sinai...”(3:1) the most sophisticated animal can be, but are truly in the image of G-d, fulflling our purpose in culminating the process of creation and making The obvious question that the this world a dwelling place for Him. classic commentator on the Torah, Rashi, immediately seeks May we all receive and accept the Torah with joy and internalization. to clarify is the fact that these We look forward to seeing all of you at the services on Shavuos where we are called the children of Moses will hear the 10 Commandments, men, women and children together, and when, in reality, they are only then partake in a sumptuous dairy feast. the children of Aaron, as he continues to list those sons of Have a good Shabbos, a Happy Shavuos and a great week. Aaron that took on the role of the priesthood, whereas the children of Moses retained the position of the Levites. Rashi comments that this is the source for the Talmudic Rabbi S. Lipskar statement that “one who teaches his friend’s child Torah it is as if he gave birth to him”. The reality of life Baruch Hashem makes this concept somewhat diffcult to comprehend as we know that it is a mother that gives birth to a child, not a teacher. Erev Shavuos / Holiday of Revelation 5778 Rashi continues to explain the continuing text “on the day …etc” - which “Know before whom you stand…” seem to be superfuous - that these words which Moses taught them were directly stated to him from G-d at Sinai. Letter of Commitment to Tefllah and Proper Decorum The message that the Torah teaches us here comports very signifcantly The Shul values each community member’s attendance. The to the fact that this Torah portion is always read in direct proximity to main purpose of prayer/Tefllah is a heartfelt and internalized the holiday of Shavuos when each one of us was present at the Divine beseeching G-d to answer our quests for whatever we ask. This Revelation when G-d gave us the Torah and by His most direct force is benefcially multiplied manifold when praying with a Minyan. infused our inner being with His holy wisdom. During services where there is talking it detracts from this The Torah, different than any other learning discipline, is absolutely meaningful and sincere prayer to our Father in Heaven. We ask unique in the fact that it not only gives us knowledge and information but actually connects us with G-d Almighty Himself on the highest and that you commit to trying not to talk during services, allowing most pristine levels. In fact, in our prayers each day we say that “the Torah yourself and all those around you to have the only conversation is our life and the length of our days”. that should occur within the sanctuary, one with Hashem. We know and greatly value the social component of attending Shul Torah is transformational. In a very vital manner it changes our perspective, thought process, our feelings, our disciplines, our life patterns, and clarifes but ask that the conversations be held after services are through, for each one of us our purpose in creation.

Ari Hoffman Dissertation Advisor: Professor Elisa New Professor Amanda Claybaugh This Year in Jerusalem: Israel and the Literary Quest for Jewish Authenticity This dissertation investigates how Israel is imagined as a literary space and setting in contemporary literature. Israel is a specific place with delineated borders, and is also networked to a whole galaxy of conversations where authenticity plays a crucial role. Israel generates authenticity in uniquely powerful ways because of its location at the nexus of the imagined and the concrete. While much attention has been paid to Israel as a political and ethnographic/ demographic subject, its appearance on the map of literary spaces has been less thoroughly considered.

  • Shit-Arein”* Is Not a Dirty Word Yiddish “S,” “Sh,” and “Sch” Words That Will Make You Laugh
    SHIT-AREIN”* IS NOT A DIRTY WORD YIDDISH “S,” “SH,” AND “SCH” WORDS THAT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH *Some people cook with the “shit-arein” method. Translated it means “to throw a little of this and a little of that--to throw ingredients into a pot with uncanny ability.” by Marjorie Gottlieb Wolfe Syosset, New York My 5-year-old grandson, Preston, is reading a book titled, “Schmutzy Girl” by Anne-Marie Baila Asner. Yes, Yiddish has many “S,” “SC,” and “SCH” words, which make you laugh IF they’re not directed at YOU. Many Yiddish “S,” “SH,” and “SCH” words have become an integral part of the English language. We often hear someone say, “Didn’t some schmuck drive you nuts today?” Or, “Shmear schmaltz on your bread and it’s death by cholesterol!” “SHM” and “SCHM” are Yiddish prefixes which when added to the beginning of a word adds an element of mockery or sarcasm. Ex. Doctor - Shmoctor Cancer - Shmancer...as long as you’re healthy Oedipus - Schoedipus - the main thing is that the “boychik” loves his mother Reason - Shmeason Mink - Shmink There was an Elderhostel course [2001] titled, “Mink Shmink: The Influence of Yiddish on America.” Let’s start with the word “SHABBOS.” How did we prepare for “Shabbos”? My mother would prepare the house by washing the kitchen floor and putting down newspapers. She would NEVER use a Jewish paper like The Forward. A picture newspaper like the Daily News or The Mirror was perfect. The house is spic and span, ready for the arrival of the Queen.

  • 7 Appropriation: Zionist Cultural Takeover
    7 Appropriation: Zionist Cultural Takeover One of the gurus of the East Indian subaltern group, Ranajit Guha, in advocating a historiography of the silent and poor that would disentangle it from hegemonic and colonial-leftover-elite-state history, opens one of his essays by stating: "There was one Indian battle that Britain never won. It was a battle for appropriation of the Indian past." 1 In the case of Palestine, however, with the passage of years, consolidated efforts by Zionist practices, politics, and affiliated scholarship, a national public relations campaign, as well as inadequate responses, have succeeded in appropriating the history and culture of Palestine and the Palestinians, often with collaboration by reputable scholarly establishments in the West. WHO IS "NATIVE"? The colonization of Palestine has some parallels to other historical situations such as the conquest of North and South America, Australia, South Africa, or the Indian subcontinent. Some of the' colonizing patterns of justification are therefore similar, as are the coping strategies of the oppressed, and the effects of the colonizer's activities on the minds of both colonized and colonizer. Palestine is special in that, while it collapses and subsumes almost all varieties and layers of colonization, it has some unprecedented peculiarities in terms of cultural and historical assumptions to which it has been victim. In the conquest of America, for example, because the colonizing paradigm had claims of being more advanced or superior, or had other notions of "progress," it did not intend to absorb native culture and knowledge into its own (although it did so nevertheless without acknowledgement).
