    Marc Shapiro: What Do Adon ?Mean ס”ט Olam and [Mean ? [1 ס”ט What Do Adon Olam and by ס”ט By Marc B. Shapiro 1. People often refer to me as a Modern Orthodox intellectual. There are actually quite a number of us out there. If you hear someone using words like “ontological,” “existential,” “mimetic,” and now, “tergiversation”[2] you can assume he in in our club. Also, another telltale sign is that when we give divrei Torah you will hear us refer to Philo, the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha (if we are confident that we can pronounce the word properly[3]), Shadal, or Cassutto.[4] Of course, we are careful to only say Midrash, and never Medrish, as the latter pronunciation is a sure sign of a Philistine. It is no secret that Modern Orthodox intellectuals like to look down on Artscroll, and to let others know about this. So we must find places where Artscroll makes mistakes. It is not enough to point to the vastly different historical conceptions between us and Artscroll; we need to find places where Artscroll simply got it wrong (for one such example see here). This will show that even if they are conquering the world, they shouldn’t think that they are so brilliant. I am not speaking about the Artscroll Talmud (which we use when no one is looking) or the Artscroll “History” series, which is not popular with the Modern Orthodox.[5] I am referring to the Artscroll siddur and chumash which have taken over the Orthodox world. (The Modern Orthodox intellectuals must have been so busy these last twenty years producing articles read by each other that it never occurred to them to produce their own siddur and chumash.)[6] But finding these errors is easier said than done.

  • History of a Controversial Prayer,Candles on Yom Kippur
    Teffilah Zakah: History of a Controversial Prayer Teffilah Zakah: History of a Controversial Prayer* Yom Kippur has many unique prayers, many of them have been added through the centuries. For instance, R. Hayyim Yosef Dovid Azulai (Hida) has a longer viduy. Another such addition is the prayer known as Teffilah Zakah. In this prayer the person enumerates and connects their various sins with various acts and asks for forgiveness. Additionally, the person forgives any who have caused them pain or harmed them. This prayer was popularized by R. Avraham Danzig, in his Hayye Adam. There are two reasons offered for reciting this prayer. Dr. Sperber opines (Minhagei Yisrael, vol. 2, p. 37 and esp. n.10) that the purpose of this prayer is to fulfill the opinion of the Ramban who holds that is an additional viduy on directly prior to Kol Nedrei on Erev Yom Kippur. (He offers that either Teffilah Zakah or a piyyut from R. Abraham ibn Ezra, fulfills this purpose). R. Abraham Ashkenazi (Brit Abraham, Warsaw, 1884, no. 129) offers a different reason for Teffilah Zakah. The purpose according to him, is to accept Yom Kippur early. At the end of Teffilah Zakah, one voices that they are accepting “kedushas Yom Kippurim.” In fact, R. Ashkenazi holds that for the purposes of fulfilling the opinion of the Ramban Teffilah Zakah would be insufficient as it differs significantly from the standard viduy. R. Ashkenazi, however, also holds that one should fulfill the Ramban’s opinion and thus recite the regular viduy after Teffilah Zakkah. (Surprisingly, Dr. Sperber doesn’t discuss R.

  • A Modern Orthodox Life
    A Modern Orthodox Life Sermons and Columns of Rabbi Emanuel Rackman Ktav Publishing House, Inc. Introduction y father, born in Albany, New York in 1910, was the first Orthodox Jew to attend Columbia College. At the same time, he attended the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary of Yeshiva University, from which he was ordained in 1934. (He also graduated from Columbia Law School and later was awarded his Ph.D. in Political Science from that same university.) He served various congregations on Long Island from 1930 through 1967, the longest tenure being at Congregation Shaaray Tefila in Far Rockaway from 1946 until 1967, when he assumed the pulpit of Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue Synagogue. He also taught political science at Yeshiva University (where he ultimately be- came the Assistant to the President, Dr. Samuel Belkin) from 1962 to 1970 and he was a professor of Jewish Studies at the City Uni- versity of New York from 1971 to 1977. During this time frame, he also served as the president of the New York Board of Rabbis (1955-1957) and the Rabbinical Council of America (1958-1960). In 1977, my father was appointed President of Bar Ilan Uni- versity and in 1986 he became its Chancellor; he is currently its Chancellor for Life. Thus, at the age of 67, he moved to Israel and took Bar Ilan, which was then Israel’s smallest general university and more than quintupled the enrollment, to the point where today Bar Ilan has more students than any other Israeli university. This book explores another side of this extraordinary career.
