Beginning and ending with lovely meals as a community made the season special. The Women’s Group’s Elizabeth Schwartz and Bonny Strassler did such a good Message job organizing the menus. The services were thoughtfully prepared and rendered by Rabbi Joe and Rabbi Joel. Laura Mandeles filled in the melodies, accompanied by Linda Blazer, Sarah Grove-Humphries and Samantha Mandeles. My hope is that you stored away some good memories of this particular season. Maybe the next time you think of the story of Jonah you will catch a mental glimpse of us sitting together in the social hall, talking about Jonah’s bad attitude. Or as you approach the temple one evening you remember us at the front door ready to enter on Rosh Hashana eve with three shofars wailing in the night air. Or you remember the bima crowded with Browns and Rosenbergs, the Havdalah candles blazing. Good memories to all. Rosalie Waterman, temple president Dear Temple House of Israel Congregants and Friends, I hope that your High Holy days were a meaningful and uplifting time.

  • Towards a Phenomenological Existentialism in the Rabbinic Law of Beit Hillel
    135 “If I am here, then all is here”: Towards a Phenomenological Existentialism in the Rabbinic Law of Beit Hillel By: HILLEL E. BRODER and MOSHE L. LAX “Subjective reflection turns in towards subjectivity, wanting in this inner absorption to be truth’s reflection, and in such a way that…where objectivity was brought forward and subjectivity disappeared, so here subjectivity itself is what is left and objectivity what vanishes.” —Soren Kierkegaard1 “If I am here, then all is here.” —Hillel 2 Perhaps the most central name in rabbinic antiquity, Hillel (c. 60 B.C.E. to c. 20 C.E.) and his affiliated mishnaic and talmudic school (“Beit Hil- lel”) of nearly four centuries figure predominantly in both aggadic ideals and normative legal decisions within the rabbinic textual tradition. Hillel’s school is principal in Mishnaic debates and enjoys victory as the dominant rabbinic voice in the majority of over 350 legal disputes.3 In traditional 1 Concluding Unscientific Postscript to the Philosophical Crumbs ed. Alastair Hannay (Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2009), 165. 2 bSukka, 53a. 3 Standard readings of Beit Hillel initialize the house’s genealogy and extend it through 356 C.E. with the death of Hillel II; see most recently Binyamin Lau, The Sages, Vol. 1 (Maggid, 2010), 203–239; Alfred J. Kolatch, Masters of the Talmud: Their Lives and Views (JD Books, 2003), 220. Most significant scholarly opposi- tion to such a traditional theory can be found in Louis Ginzberg “Significance of the Halacha,” On Jewish Law and Lore (Atheneum, 1970). Ginzberg argues that Hillel and Shammai were, in fact, the final Pair (zug) or “preeminent figures” of legal liberalism and conservatism, respectively, who “figured as the last in the period that began with the first Pair, Jose ben Joezer and Jose ben Johanan” (90) referenced in mAbot 1:4–12.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Case Western Reserve Law Review by an authorized administrator of Case Western Reserve University School of Law Scholarly Commons. 1951] The Talmud - A Gateway To The Common Law Charles Auerbach JEWISH LAW has its source in the Divine Commandments, precepts and ordinances given to the children of Israel through Moses at Mt. Sinai and called the Torah (Torah M'Sinai). In Hebrew, these five books of Moses are referred to as Torah Shebiktab (the written law). They constitute the bedrock of all Jewish law. These commandments, precepts and ordinances as set forth in the written law are enunciatory in nature and required much interpretation. There evolved, therefore, through the many generations, a great mass of oral teachings interpreting these laws, so multifarious as to require orderly arrange- ment.

With these words, the Torah seems to be telling us that it is appropriate to be aware of what has transpired before us, to ponder what has happened in history, to consider the experiences of those who lived in generations gone by. While one might study history out of a sense of curiosity, out of an appreciation of an exciting story, or out of a quest for general knowledge, the Torah here indi- cates that there is a more profound goal, namely, to assimilate the message that the past is relevant to us in the present.

Yes, we have our share of Jewish creeps in government and they must be called out for their attitude contrary to those values. Do our candidates From the reflect those positive values that enhance the sacredness of every human? Rabbi Our candidates should know that we expect civility. What we are hearing today adds to the divisions in our country. Indeed anti-Semitism and racism in general, al- ways under the surface, have emerged with full force, because the lack of civility “allows” the uncivil among us to unleash their fury in word and deed. Take Char- lottesville for example. Are our candidates models of civility themselves and condemn those who would divide us with word and deed? We expect candidates to see Israel, as flawed as she is at times, as an ally. America needs Israel as much as Israel needs America. Criticism of the State of Israel is fine, there’s plenty to criticize.

  • Resources to Begin the Study of Jewish Law in Conservative Judaism*
    LAW LIBRARY JOURNAL Vol. 105:3 [2013-15] Resources to Begin the Study of Jewish Law in Conservative Judaism* David Hollander** Conservative Judaism stands at the center of the Jewish ideological spectrum. In that position it strives, sometimes with difficulty, to apply a flexible, modern out- look to an ancient system of binding laws. This bibliography provides law scholars with annotated citations to a selection of important sources related to Jewish law in Conservative Judaism, supplemented by brief explanations of the larger context of the resources.
