  • Academic Kabbalists/Kabbalist Academics,A
    The Princess and I: Academic Kabbalists/Kabbalist Academics ב”ה The Princess and I[1] Academic Kabbalists/Kabbalist Academics לכב’ יומא דהילולא דרשב”י ל”ג בעומר by Josh Rosenfeld Josh Rosenfeld is the Assistant Rabbi at Lincoln Square Synagogue and on the Judaic Studies Faculty at SAR High School. This is his second contribution to the Seforim blog. His first essay, on “The Nazir in New York,” is available (here). The last few decades have witnessed the veritable explosion of “new perspectives” and horizons in the academic study of Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism. From the pioneering work of the late Professor Gershom Scholem, and the establishment of the study of Jewish Mysticism as a legitimate scholarly pursuit, we witness a scene nowadays populated by men and women, Jews and non-Jews, who have challenged, (re)constructed, and expanded upon Scholem’s work.[2] These men and women themselves have been variously praised and criticized themselves for sometimes blurring the lines between academician and practitioner of Kabbalah and mysticism.[3] Professor Boaz Huss of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has done extensive work in this area.[4] One of the most impressive examples of this fusion of identities is Professor Yehuda Liebes (Jerusalem, 1947-) of Hebrew University, who completed his doctoral studies under Scholem, and rose to prominence himself by challenging scholarly orthodoxies established by his mentor. On a personal note, the initial encounter between so-called ‘traditional’ notions of Kabbalah and academic scholarship was a jarring one, calling into question aspects of faith and fealty to long-held beliefs.[5] In a moment of presumption, I would imagine that this same process is part and parcel of many peoples’ paths to a more mature and nuanced conception of Torah and tradition, having undergone the same experience.

    The Assimilation of Tikkun Olam Levi Cooper 1. An elusive term 2. Liturgy 3. Legislation 4. Mysticism 5. Political involvement, social justice, activism 6. Banner for liberal American Jewry 7. American value 8. Imported ideal 9. Expanding the umbrella 10. Critique of the catch-all 11. How to repair the world Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2385947 The Assimilation of Tikkun Olam Levi Cooper1 “Tikkun olam” is most commonly heard as a slogan for activism, political involvement, and social justice. The term has had numerous lives, such that its endurance and malleability over time are truly impressive. It has been used as a pliable legislative justification for changing specific laws and as an eschatological ideal that may describe a human process or the divine end. It has had practical implications for some, and mystical connotations for others. In the twentieth century the term tikkun olam has been used in reference to Jewish political involvement, or to argue for abstinence from any political participation whatsoever. More recently it has become a banner, bandied around for almost any value, including energy conservation, recycling, government health care packages, the fight against terrorism, better nutrition, looking after stray animals, and the list goes on. This paper will touch on the main waystations of the term, starting with a brief look at the term’s etymology, and journeying from rabbinic literature to modern times. This whistle stop tour will provide an overview of the vicissitudes of the term tikkun olam, and will demonstrate how it has come to connote a disparate array of values.

  • Tanya Sources.Pdf
    The Way to the Tree of Life Jewish practice entails fulfilling many laws. Our diet is limited, our days to work are defined, and every aspect of life has governing directives. Is observance of all the laws easy? Is a perfectly righteous life close to our heart and near to our limbs? A righteous life seems to be an impossible goal! However, in the Torah, our great teacher Moshe, Moses, declared that perfect fulfillment of all religious law is very near and easy for each of us. Every word of the Torah rings true in every generation. Lesson one explores how the Tanya resolved these questions. It will shine a light on the infinite strength that is latent in each Jewish soul. When that unending holy desire emerges, observance becomes easy. Lesson One: The Infinite Strength of the Jewish Soul The title page of the Tanya states: A Collection of Teachings ספר PART ONE לקוטי אמרים חלק ראשון Titled הנקרא בשם The Book of the Beinonim ספר של בינונים Compiled from sacred books and Heavenly מלוקט מפי ספרים ומפי סופרים קדושי עליון נ״ע teachers, whose souls are in paradise; based מיוסד על פסוק כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאד בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו upon the verse, “For this matter is very near to לבאר היטב איך הוא קרוב מאד בדרך ארוכה וקצרה ”;you, it is in your mouth and heart to fulfill it בעזה״י and explaining clearly how, in both a long and short way, it is exceedingly near, with the aid of the Holy One, blessed be He. "1 of "393 The Way to the Tree of Life From the outset of his work therefore Rav Shneur Zalman made plain that the Tanya is a guide for those he called “beinonim.” Beinonim, derived from the Hebrew bein, which means “between,” are individuals who are in the middle, neither paragons of virtue, tzadikim, nor sinners, rishoim.

Between Jewish women’s limited aCCess to the past and the preCarious future of Yiddish, I offer a queer genealogy based on nonlinear transmissions, affeCtive ConneCtions and cross-temporal encounters. This genealogy serves as an alternative to teleological heteronormative narratives of Jewish history, whiCh the lens of Yiddish and the lens of women’s writing CompliCate. Reading women writers undermines the binding value of the past, for women’s literature emerged despite and against historiCal silencing and erasure. While many feminist projeCts have aimed to reCover women’s lost pasts, I explore what it means to write without a past, what the stakes are for recovering the past, and what CompliCations arise when the past is not quite gone.

  • The Text and Context of the 1684 Sulzbach Edition of the Zohar1
    The Text and Context of the 1684 Sulzbach Edition of the Zohar1 Boaz Huss Introduction In 1684, the year in which the second volume of Knorr von Rosenroth's Kabbala Denudata, including translations of the Zohar into Latin, was printed in Frankfurt-am-Main, Knorr was involved in another major Kabbalistic printing operation: the Sulzbach edition of Sefer ha-Zohar. This is the fourth edition of the Zohar, which had been printed for the first time in Italy in the mid-16th century. The Sulzbach edition of the Zohar was the product of a unique collaboration between Christian Kabbalists from different denominations, Jewish Kabbalists, and Jewish and Christian printers who operated in the court of Prince Christian August in the late 17th century. While based on the previous editions of the Zohar, the Sulzbach edition had its own special features, which were adopted by almost all subsequent editions of the Zohar. Thus, it played a significant role both in shaping the Zoharic canon and in the history of its reception. In the following study I will offer a description of the Sulzbach edition of the Zohar and examine its role in the history of the reception and canonization of the Zohar. I will explore the circumstances of its printing and will argue that it was part of a larger printing project of the Sulzbach Kabbalists, carried out in 1684, also including the second volume of the Kabbala Denudata in Frankfurt-am-Main, and the Syriac version of the New Testament in Hebrew characters in Sulzbach. 1 An early version of this paper was read at the conference on Kabbbala Denudata in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, July 2005.
