Lipskar Shabbos Noach in our practical lives. his portion opens with May we immediately merit the complete cleansing, purifcation and the verse: “these are the hallowing of our world as all evil is eradicated and goodness and Thappenings (children) of G-dliness prevails. “Noach,” “Noach” was a Tzaddik (Righteous) Person”. The repetition Have a good Shabbos and a great week. of “Noach”, which is grammatically and textually superfuous, relates to two levels of Noach. Besides being the name of a person, Noach means peaceful/calm/tranquil/restful. Noach, through his righteous behavior in a degenerate world, Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar brought a sense of peacefulness. Noach was such a positive force that he enabled G-d Almighty to continue creation though He had remorse for creating such a corrupt world. The Ark The two levels of “Noach”, tranquil in the Higher World and tranquil in the lower environments, according to the Zohar, relate to two Based on letters and talks of the levels that are part of every Shabbos: The Lower Shabbos and the Rebbe, Rabbi M.

The Lower Shabbos level relates to resting and elevating all the forces of physical activity, bodily function and animal life-force soul and the There is a raging storm at sea.

    BSD KASHRUT BULLETIN # 4 Whoever guard his mouth and his tongue, guards as well his soul from suffering (Mishle 21:23) There is no sin so severe as forbidden foods, since entire Jewish communities were lost and turned to evil ways because of eating treifos and neveilos. (Divrei Chayim-Yoreh Deah) THE PROBLEMS IN THE FIELD OF NIKKUR (PURGING ANIMAL MEAT FROM FORBIDDEN FATS) AN EXPLANATION ON THE ISSUR [PROHIBITION] OF EATING CHELEV [FORBIDDEN FATS] by the Chofetz Chaim, z.t.l. It is written in the Torah: Any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat you shall not eat. All species of kosher animals are included in these three general species, and whoever eats fat of an animal that died by itself or became taref, i.e., suffered a wound or an ailment from which it would die within twelve months, is liable for stripes both for eating fat and for eating neveilah or taref. Although the rule is that one prohibition does not fall upon another, this case is an exception, since the prohibition of neveilah or taref includes both the fat and the rest of the flesh of the animal. This is known as issur kolel, an all-inclusive prohibition. Since it falls upon the rest of the animal, it also falls upon the fat previously prohibited. The prohibition of chelev, the fat for which one is liable to Kares (excision) (termination of life): Heaven help us ... This refers to: • Fat on the innards. • Fat on the flanks • Fat on the kidneys. • Fat on 2nd or 3rd stomach (of t ' he ruminant, which is part of the "fat that is on the innards,") Fat on the membrane (located on the thick part of the spleen) 1 BSD In addition there are many other varieties of fat prohibited by the Torah.

  • Justice, Mercy and a Bird's Nest
    Justice, Mercy and a Bird's Nest ELIEZER SEGAL UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY T he pursuit of reasons for the laws (ta'amei ha-misvot) was normally Tviewed by Rabbinic Judaism as falling within the domain of Aggadah, which by its nature does not strive for definitive dogmas, but rather encourages an imaginative freedom of ideas. The practical outcome of this approach is that Jewish law frequently appears to be made up of an open-ended set of symbols, to which the individual may attach whatever meanings he feels appropriate. This openness, while constituting a source of strength and adaptability for a historical tradition, can also lead to some awkward theological consequences: if the precepts were revealed with specific purposes in mind, then are we justified in interpreting their purposes so freely and subjectively? Furthermore, is the concrete application of a law not ultimately determined by a conception of the aim or function of that law? Can the Halakhic and Aggadic aspects of Jewish legal theory truly be subjected to this sort of rigid polarization between the meaning and application of the laws? The present study begins with a problem in Scriptural exegesis, which became associated in the Talmud with basic questions about the scope of God's mercy and the rationality of the Jewish legal system. Owing to the unsystematic character of the Talmudic sources, the questions raised by them left a heritage of thorny theological problems that would be defined anew by the more systematic Jewish thinkers of the Middle Ages and subjected by them to their more rigid standards of analysis.

  • Why Is Samaritan Bread Like Pork? a Neo-Structuralist Reading of Shevi’It 8:10
    BENJAMIN J. ELTON Why is Samaritan Bread Like Pork? A Neo-Structuralist Reading of Shevi’it 8:10 Introduction IN 1873 R. E SRIEL HILDESHEIMER founded the Orthodox Rabbinical Seminary in Berlin. In his address at the opening R. Hildeshiemer declared: Areas that have been known for a long time, i.e., Bible commentary, demand investigation from a new point of view and require the usage of valuable linguistic materials. In our desire to engage in these areas as our own, we will attempt to work in them with absolute academic seri - ousness and for the sake of, and only the sake of, the truth. 1 In the following sixty five years, until the Seminary closed on Kristalnacht, R. Hildeshiemer and his colleagues learnt and taught Torah using the latest scholarly methods. R. David Tsevi Hoffman broke new ground in his studies of the composition of the Mishnah, R. Jacob Barth was an expert on Nevi’im and R. Yehiel Yaakov Weinberg combined the best of Eastern and Western scholarship in the study of Talmud and rabbinics in the final years of the Seminary’s existence. 2 The ideas I will discuss are presented in the spirit that R. Hildesheimer set out: investigation of well-known texts from a new point of view with absolute academic seriousness, and for the sake of the truth. This article will seek to cast new light on a Mishnah using the conceptual tools developed in the intellectual movement known as neo-structuralism. 3 BENJAMIN J. E LTON is an editor of Millin Havivin . He is a third year student at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah, and a Visiting Scholar at Columbia.

  • 1 Kashrut from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia, and Edited by Rabbi
    Kashrut From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, and edited by Rabbi Plavin is the set of Jewish religious dietary laws. Food that may be ( ּות ְׁרשַּכ) Kashrut consumed according to halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher in English, from meaning "fit" (in ,( ֵׁת ָּרש) the Ashkenazi pronunciation of the Hebrew term kashér this context, fit for consumption). Among the numerous laws that form part of kashrut are the prohibitions on the consumption of unclean animals (such as pork, shellfish and most insects, with the exception of certain species of kosher locusts), mixtures of meat and milk, and the commandment to slaughter mammals and birds according to a process known as shechita. There are also laws regarding agricultural produce that might impact on the suitability of food for consumption. Most of the basic laws of kashrut are derived from the Torah's Books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Their details and practical application, however, are set down in the oral law(eventually codified in the Mishnah and Talmud) and elaborated on in the later rabbinical literature. While the Torah does not state the rationale for most kashrut laws, many reasons have been suggested, including philosophical, practical and hygienic. Over the past century, there have developed numerous rabbinical organizations that certify products, manufacturers, and restaurants as kosher, usually using a symbol (called ahechsher) to indicate their support. Presently, about a sixth of American Jews or 0.3% of the American population fully keep kosher, and many more abstain from some non-kosher foods, especially pork. Philosophical explanations[edit] Jewish philosophy divides the 613 mitzvot into three groups—laws that have a rational explanation and would probably be enacted by most orderly societies 1 (mishpatim), laws that are understood after being explained but would not be legislated without the Torah's command (edot), and laws that do not have a rational explanation (chukim).

  • THE ROLE of Philosophy and KABBALAR in the WORKS of RASHEA
    THE ROLE OF PHILOSOpHy AND KABBALAR IN THE WORKS OF RASHEA BY DAVID HORWITZ A MASTER’S PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE BERNARD REVEL GRADUATE SCHOOL YESHIVA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS AS OF JANUARY 1986 ~pr~ ABSTRACT Rashba, in the course of his discussions of the theological problems entailed in the phrases ‘olam ke— minhago noheg and em mazzal le—yisrael, was consistently sensitive to philosophic problems, and took pains to show that Jewish beliefs did not contravene the Law of Contradiction. On the other hand, he vigorously maintained the superiority of tradition over speculative reasoning, and he could not tolerate the fact that contemporary allegorists gave axiological supremacy to speculative studies. Rashba’s attempt to justify segulot within a natural framework demonstrates his sensitivity to the demands of the contemporary natural philosophy. He refused, however, to countenance the thought that the Rabbis of the Talmud would be mistaken concerning a scientific issue that possessed halakhic ramifications. Although Rashba possessed a good deal of scientific konwledge, we do not find him to be an advocate of the pursuit of the sciences in non—halakhic contexts. Rashba’s rejection of the supremacy of philosophic categories was not supplemented by a full—fledged kabbalistic interpretation of Judaism. The content of his Kabbalab was that of the Gerona school at a time when other forms were developing, and he chose not to expand its contours. The form of his writing was characterized by extreme esotericjsm. His Commentary On Aggadah contains both philosophic—allegorical interpretations and kabbalistic hints to the same passage; this feature of his work demonstrates that he must be classified as neither a kabbalist nor a philosopher, if either of these two terms dsignates an exclusive system of categories through which one views reality.

  • The Halacha in the Targum to the Torah Attributed to Yonatan Ben Uzziel
    THE HALACHA IN THE TARGUM TO THE TORAH ATTRIBUTED TO YONATAN BEN UZZIEL Harris Samuel Freedman University College London PhD Thesis September 1999. 1 Dedicated to the Memory of Michael Weitzman my Teacher and Supervisor Scholar, Sage and Most Gentle of Men □tft? nnnK -its* rani an not? ABSTRACT The halachic interpolations and expansions in Targum Pseudo-Jonathan are derived either from the Targumist’s independent reasoning, or from his use of rabbinic traditions and compilations. All the halachic material can be classified in one of three ways: 1) that which is intended to clarify the meaning of the Masoretic text; 2) material which results from Midrashic and exegetical techniques; 3) material which explains how a particular law was carried out. The Targumist made significant use of Mshnah, Mechilta, Sifra, Sifrei Numbers and a text similar to Midrash Tannaim. There is also regular use of Halachic Targumic Traditions. There is no evidence of use of Pirkei d’Rabbi Eliezer. A few halachic comments were identified which cannot be attributed to any known rabbinic source, and which do not seem to have been derived independently. The number of these comments is no more than one would expect to find in a Palestinian work of this period. We suggest that when the Targumist used his independent reasoning, this was either because he did not have relevant rabbinic material available, or because he felt that the information presented by the sources was inadequate for his purposes. Once the Targumist’s techniques are understood, there remains no evidence which suggests a pre-Mishnaic origin of any of the halachic material in the Targum.

It is the second feminist commentary on a tractate from the Babylonian Talmud that I have written, but it is very different. My previous project – Massekhet Ta‘anit – was a concise composition of four mishnaic chapters on 32 folios. It was mostly aggadic in character, touched on issues of mo‘ed (which, in this case I would translate as ritual), which are usually easy to understand, and was in general very user-friendly.
