YOUNG ISRAEL OF HOLLYWOOD-FT. LAUDERDALE MAY 2018 PAGE 5 RABBI’S MESSAGE THE AFTER PARTY AT SINAI On Shavuot we read about the revelation at Mt. God desires that we be holy people, not holy angels. Sinai, as described in Parshat Yitro. There is one It is in this light that we can understand the Talmud interesting detail from that narrative that we only find Yerushalmi that warns us that we will be held in Parshat VaEtchanan, where the scene is retold by accountable for every permissible enjoyment that Moshe in retrospect. After reassuring the people that exists in this world from which we could have the Sinai experience was a success, in that it instilled partaken but chose not to. (In the 19th century Rabbi within the people a fear of God, Hashem gives Moshe Samson Raphael Hirsch made famous the spirit of one more message, “Lech Emor Lahem: Shuvu this passage when he explained his very un-Rabbinic Lachem L’Ohaleichem.” Finally in Vaetchanan we are trip to the Swiss Alps: He explained that he was told of the ending to the scene at Mt Sinai. The people worried that after he died, God would ask him “So, were told to go back to their tents. Samson, did you see my Alps?!”) Rabbi Yitzchak Menachem Weinberg (Tolner On Shavuot we celebrate our receiving the Rebbe of Bayit Vegan) explains that this directive is Torah, not as a one-time occurrence but as a gift that the key to understanding the purpose of Matan Torah dramatically changed the lives of our ancestors and and what exactly it is that we are celebrating on continues to make Jewish life distinct, enriched and Shavuot, Zeman Matan Torateinu. Rabbi Weinberg enriching. On Shavuot we are celebrating not just the notes that prior to Matan Torah, the only known way events at Sinai, but the After-Party: the fact that to achieve holiness was through acts of asceticism; Matan Torah created the possibility for us to live separating oneself from the material and physical normal and holy lives, that everything we do can be world. This continues to be the model of many of the imbued with holiness and we must not divorce world’s religions, that expect their spiritual leadership ourselves from the world in which we live. to be removed from the world and view the physical in constant struggle with the spiritual. Bnei Yisrael The Sanzer Rebbe (Divrei Chaim) explained: were commanded to prepare with expressions of Kol Yisrael Yesh Lahem Chelek L’Olam Habah asceticism to highlight this point - be celibate, purify (Sanhedrin): every Jew has a share in the World To yourself, create boundaries and restrictions - for this Come. But not everyone has a share in Olam Hazeh. is the only way to achieve holiness in the world as you Everyone appreciates the spirituality inherent in The know it. World To Come. Not everyone appreciates the spirituality latent within This World. We must It is only through the revolution of Matan Torah appreciate the great gift that God gave us at Sinai - that a new worldview was introduced to Bnei Yisrael: the ability to live holy yet normal lives, the mandate to “Shuvu Lachem L’Ohaleichem.” Revelation at Sinai partake and enjoy everything that this world offers - was never meant to be a stand-alone event. From this and do so as religiously significant activities. point on, the Jews were now tasked with taking the inspiration of Sinai and applying it to the ordinary lives “Everyone agrees that on Shavuot we need that they would be living in their tents - ordinary lives lachem” (Pesachim 68b). On other holidays it might that now had the potential to be imbued with holiness be okay to focus exclusively on the spiritual and through everything that they did, inspired by the letter ignore the physical enjoyment associated with and the spirit of the Torah. holidays. But not on Shavuot. Our Rabbis teach that the angels wanted to stop From Shavuot we learn that our return to our God from giving the Torah to mere mortals - who normal lives after Sinai can and must be as spiritually would no doubt disappoint Him and make mistakes. significant as the main event. The angels were informed that whereas God has angels in Heaven, He wanted His Torah to go to RABBI YOSEF WEINSTOCK human beings on Earth - humans that would be Normal - and Holy.

  • Socialism and Legal History
    Routledge Research in Legal History SOCIALISM AND LEGAL HISTORY THE HISTORIES AND HISTORIANS OF LAW IN SOCIALIST EAST CENTRAL EUROPE Edited by Ville Erkkilä and Hans-Peter Haferkamp Socialism and Legal History This book focuses on the way in which legal historians and legal scientists used the past to legitimize, challenge and explain the socialist legal orders, which were backed by dictatorial governments. The volume studies legal historians and legal histories written in Eastern European countries during the socialist era after the Second World War. The book investigates whether there was a unified form of socialist legal historiography and, if so, what can be said of its common features. The individual chapters of this volume concentrate on the regimes that are situated between the Russian, and later Soviet, legal culture and the area covered by the German Civil Code. Hence, the geographical focus of the book is on East Germany, Russia, the Baltic states, Poland, and Hungary. The approach is transnational, focusing on the interaction and intertwinement of the then hegemonic communist ideology and the ideas of law and justice as they appeared in the writings of legal historians of the socialist legal orders. Such an angle enables concentration on the dynamics between politics and law as well as identities and legal history. Studying the socialist interpretations of legal history reveals the ways in which legal scholars, situated between legal renewal and political guidance, gave legitimacy to, struggled to come to terms with, and sketched the future of the socialist legal orders. The book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers working in the areas of legal history, jurisprudence, philosophy of law and European Studies.
