OCT. 27, 2002 The courteous and competent real-estate agent I'd just hired to rent my house shocked and offended me when, after we signed our contract, he refused to shake my hand, saying that as an Orthodox Jew he did not touch women. As a feminist, I oppose sex discrimination of all sorts. However, I also support freedom of religious expression. How do I balance these conflicting values? Should I tear up our contract? J.L., New York This culture clash may not allow you to reconcile the values you esteem. Though the agent dealt you only a petty slight, without ill intent, you're entitled to work with someone who will treat you with the dignity and respect he shows his male clients. If this involved only his own person -- adherence to laws concerning diet or dress, for example -- you should of course be tolerant. But his actions directly affect you. And sexism is sexism, even when motivated by religious convictions.

  • Angels and Demons: Managing Our Good & Evil Inclinations
    Shavuot 5780: Self-Guided Torah Study Experience Angels and Demons: Managing Our Good & Evil Inclinations By Rabbi Avi Heller, OU Regional Director for New Jersey In the comic books, the bad angel stands on one shoulder with a pitchfork and the good angel on the other with a halo. In Judaism, we call these two influences the “yetzer ha-tov”, the inclination to good and the “yetzer ha-ra” the inclination to evil. But those urges and desires are not imposed upon us from without; they are part of who we are and how Hashem created us. If God created us this way, there must also be a way to succeed in life with both the good and evil parts within us. With your chavruta, make your way through the following few sources. (The sources should take you around 30 minutes to read through and discuss.) STEP 1: Read these 2 verses about the creation of human beings from B’reisheet 1:27 and 2:7: ַו ִיּ ְב ָרא ֱאS ִקים ׀ ֶאת־ ָֽה ָא ָדם ְבּ ַצ ְלמוֹ ְבּ ֶצ ֶלם ֱאS ִקים ָבּ ָרא ֹאתוֹ ָז ָכר וּ ְנ ֵק ָבה ָבּ ָרא ָתֹא :םֽ (1:27) And Elokim created mankind in (h)is image, in the image of Elohim He created him, male and female He created them. ַו ִיּי ֶצר ה‘ ֱאS ִקים ֶאת־ ָֽה ָא ָדם ָﬠ ָפר ִמן־ ָה ֲא ָד ָמה ַו ִיּ ַפּח ְבּ ַא ָפּיו ִנ ְשׁ ַמת ַח ִיּים ַו ְי ִהי ָֽה ָא ָדם ְל ֶנ ֶפשׁ ַח ָֽיּה: (2:7) And Hashem Elohim formed mankind as dust from the ground and He blew a soul of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living spirit.

  • Archegos Left a Sparse Paper Trail for a $10 Billion Firm
    The New York Times Archegos Left a Sparse Paper Trail for a $10 Billion Firm In its eight-year history, the family office that managed the fortune of Bill Hwang never publicly disclosed any stock ownership. Securities lawyers said that was highly unusual. Archegos Capital Management had offices on the same floor as its owner’s charitable foundation.Credit...Carlo Allegri/Reuters By Matthew Goldstein April 12, 2021 Archegos Capital Management, the $10 billion firm that collapsed spectacularly last month, never publicly disclosed any stock investments. Even for a firm whose structure and strategy came with fewer regulatory requirements, that was a remarkable achievement. Money managers with $100 million or more in stocks are generally required to declare what securities they are invested in every quarter. But Archegos, a so-called family office that managed the fortune of the former hedge fund manager Bill Hwang, did not publicly file such a document — called a 13F — in its eight-year history. The lack of a paper trail is uncommon for a firm with so much money, according to securities experts. Thomas Handler, a lawyer in Chicago whose firm does work for more than 300 family offices, said it was highly unusual for such a large firm to have never filed a 13F. Much smaller family offices routinely make such reports, he said. “It is time consuming, but they do it because no one wants to run afoul of the S.E.C.,” Mr. Handler said. A representative for Mr. Hwang declined to comment. Archegos stayed largely under the radar until it fell apart last month.

  • Jewish Subcultures Online: Outreach, Dating, and Marginalized Communities ______
    JEWISH SUBCULTURES ONLINE: OUTREACH, DATING, AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in American Studies ____________________________________ By Rachel Sara Schiff Thesis Committee Approval: Professor Leila Zenderland, Chair Professor Terri Snyder, Department of American Studies Professor Carrie Lane, Department of American Studies Spring, 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis explores how Jewish individuals use and create communities online to enrich their Jewish identity. The Internet provides Jews who do not fit within their brick and mortar communities an outlet that gives them voice, power, and sometimes anonymity. They use these websites to balance their Jewish identities and other personal identities that may or may not fit within their local Jewish community. This research was conducted through analyzing a broad range of websites. The first chapter, the introduction, describes the Jewish American population as a whole as well as the history of the Internet. The second chapter, entitled “The Black Hats of the Internet,” discusses how the Orthodox community has used the Internet to create a modern approach to outreach. It focuses in particular on the extensive web materials created by Chabad and Aish Hatorah, which offer surprisingly modern twists on traditional texts. The third chapter is about Jewish online dating. It uses JDate and other secular websites to analyze how Jewish singles are using the Internet. This chapter also suggests that the use of the Internet may have an impact on reducing interfaith marriage. The fourth chapter examines marginalized communities, focusing on the following: Jewrotica; the Jewish LGBT community including those who are “OLGBT” (Orthodox LGBT); Punk Jews; and feminist Jews.

    HE OMMENTATOR T The Independent C Student Newspaper of Yeshiva University VOL. LXXXVII TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2021 ISSUE NO. 1 Students Return to Campus With Nearly No COVID-Restrictions By SEFFI JONAS This article was published online on August 29. Yeshiva University undergraduates re- turned to campus with nearly no COVID- restrictions on Wednesday, Aug. 25, when the fall semester began. Student council leaders and the Office of Student Life (OSL) organized the back-to-school programming. Last semester, about 550 students lived on campus. Those students were required to wear masks and receive a negative PCR test twice weekly. For the 2021-22 academic year, students only needed proof of vac- cination and a negative PCR test to return to campus, without further COVID testing. Unvaccinated students who were granted exception from the vaccine requirement have stricter guidelines. Superstorm Henri, which made landfall on Sunday, Aug. 22, delayed moving into the dorms for some of the student body. Despite the storm, orientation commenced that same Sunday evening. OSL provided students with several op- portunities to do chessed during the first week back on campus. Students pack- aged kosher Rosh Hashanah packages for American military service members.
