  • In Memory of Professor Liviu Librescu
    In Memory of Professor Liviu Librescu Professor Liviu Librescu, 1930-2007 Renowned Researcher and Educator in Aeroelacticity, Thermal Stresses and Composites Professor Librescu from the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics died in the Virginia Tech tragedy on April 16, 2007, as he lived, devoted to his students and to his profession. His last action was to sacrifice himself to save the students in his classroom. At the hearing of the shooting, he blocked the door with his body while telling his students to jump from the window. He was shot through the door and killed. All his students survived but one. Professor Librescu survived the Holocaust and earned his Ph.D. from the Academy of Sciences in Romania (1969) where he stayed as a faculty member. He then immigrated to Israel from Romania during the communist regime and spent his sabbatical in 1985 in the Engineering Science and Mechanics Department at Virginia Tech where he stayed since then, continuing his research in aeroelasticity, thermal stresses and composites. He was a wonderful educator and a prominent researcher with numerous journal and conferences papers (“More journal articles and conference papers than anyone else in the field” say his colleagues) and a book - Thin-Walled Composite Beams: Theory and Application, with O. Song, Springer, 2005 -. He also served on the Editorial Board of seven different journals, helped organize many international congresses and symposia, and had recently participated in a project administered by the NRC involving researchers from his native Romania. Professor Librescu’s death is a great loss to the mechanics community.

  • Yovel Sampler
    Yovel Sampler Yovel Sampler This year marks the fiftieth year since 1967 and the Six-Day War, which gave Israel control of all of Jerusalem and of the West Bank and Gaza. Through the Yovel Project, Jewish communities are exploring the Jewish concept of yovel—the biblical cycle of fifty years meant to shape our relationship to the land and people around us—as a way to get unstuck, and perhaps to bring about a new and better reality for both Israelis and Palestinians. This project does not aim to offer an ancient prescription for contemporary political challenges. Rather, we ask, in dialogue with the vast textual richness of the rabbinic tradition, how entering yovel-consciousness might shape our understanding of our contemporary moment. The full Yovel sourcebook offers eight multi-page text studies, focusing on seven themes of Yovel plus Jerusalem. This sampler offers the original biblical text that commands yovel plus one or two texts from each of the eight sections. After studying the sampler, we invite you to dive into the full text study on whichever topic(s) most intrigue you, or to use this mile-high view to consider how the themes touch and shape each other. Leviticus 25:8-24 You shall count off seven weeks of years — seven times seven years — so that the 8 )ח( ְ ו סָ ַ פ רְ תָ ּ ְ לֶָך שַׁבַע שְׁבֹּתָתשִׁנֶים שַׁבָעשִׁנֶים שַׁבְעפָּעִמְים וָהיּו .period of seven weeks of years gives you a total of forty-nine years ְלְָך יֵמֶי שַׁבַע שְׁבֹּתַתהָשִּׁנֵים תַּשְׁע וְַארָבִּעָים שָׁנה: Then you shall sound the horn loud; in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the 9 ְ)ט( וַהֲעַבְרָתּ ׁש וֹ פַ ר ְ תָּרּועַה בֹּחֶדַׁש הְשִּׁבִעֶי בָּעֹׂשוַרלֹחֶדְׁש בֹּיום month — the Day of Atonement — you shall have the horn sounded throughout ַהִכֻּפִּרַים תֲּעִבֹירּו ׁשוָפְר בָּכְלַארְצֶכם: your land )י( ְוִקַדְּשֶׁתּם ֵ אְת שַׁנַתהֲחִמִשָּׁים שָׁנְהּוקָרֶאתם ְדּרוֹר ָ בֶָּארץ and you shall hallow the fiftieth year.

  • Zvi A. Yehuda
    H-Judaic Obituary: Zvi A. Yehuda Discussion published by Sarah Imhoff on Monday, October 27, 2014 H-Judaic is saddened to learn of the passing, on October 3rd of Rabbi Zvi A. Yehuda (1927?-2014), professor emeritus at Cleveland College of Jewish Studies, who also taught at Oberlin College, John Carroll University and elsewhere. A disciple of R. Avrohom Yeshaya Karelitz (the Hazon Ish ) and a Yeshiva University Ph.D., R. Yehuda was best known for his editorial work on the Kehati Mishnah and for his extensive teaching, which continued in Boca Raton, to the very end of his life. Dr. Peretz Rodman kindly send us the following obituary that appeared in the Cleveland Jewish News: Rabbi Zvi A. Yehuda, prominent rabbi, Talmudic scholar, and beloved educator, passed away on the eve of Yom Kippur, in Boca Raton, Fla. He was 88. Rabbi Yehuda, who resided in Cleveland from 1964 until 1991, wrote the popular “Thought of the Week” column on the weekly Torah portion for many years in the Cleveland Jewish News. He was a lifelong educator, whose teaching combined Talmudic logic with an extensive familiarity with rabbinic sources, philosophy, and linguistics. Rabbi Yehuda’s engaging style of teaching and vast storehouse of knowledge made him a popular lecturer to both beginning students of Judaism as well as learned rabbis. An original thinker with a modern perspective, Rabbi Yehuda was born in Jerusalem, and spent much of his formative years studying with one of the leading sages of the generation, Rabbi Avrohom Yeshaya Karelitz (1878-1953), known as the “Hazon Ish.” He received rabbinic ordination at a very young age and served in the Israel Defense Forces from 1948 until 1950.

  • ХРОНІКА ТА ІНФОРМАЦІЯ PROFESSOR LIVIU LIBRESCU (1930–2007) Liviu Librescu Was a Prominent Scientist and A
    ХРОНІКА ТА ІНФОРМАЦІЯ PROFESSOR LIVIU LIBRESCU (1930–2007) Liviu Librescu was a prominent scientist and academic whose major re- search fields were aeroelasticity and aerodynamics. His last academic position was Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). Liviu Librescu was born in August 18, 1930 in the city of Ploieşti, Romania. After Romania allied with Nazi Germany in World War II, his fa- mily, along with thousands of other Jews, was deported to a ghetto in Roma- nia. Liviu as a boy was interned in a labor camp in Transnistria. Liviu Librescu survived the Holocaust, and was repatriated to Communist Romania and became an accomplished scientist. He studied aerospace engi- neering at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, graduating in 1952 and continuing with a master degree at the same university. He was awarded a Ph.D. in fluid mechanics in 1969 at the Academy of Science of Romania. From 1953 to 1975, he worked as a researcher at the Bucharest Institute of Applied Mechanics, and later at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics and the Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Aerospace Constructions of the Academy of Science of Romania. His career stalled in the 1970s because he refused to swear allegiance to the Communist Party of Romania. When Librescu requested permission to emigrate to Israel, he was fired from his job. In 1976, a smuggled research manuscript that he had published in the Netherlands drew him international attention in the growing field of material dynamics. After years of govern- ment refusal, Librescu family moved to Israel in 1978.

  • Eli Wiesel Speaks About His Legacy
    Eli Wiesel Speaks About His Legacy An Interview with Elie Wiesel by Rabbi Asher Jacobson A few years ago, I was invited by Mr. Herbert Black to have dinner with Dr. and Mrs. Elie Wiesel in New York. It was an invitation that I could not refuse after all, Elie Wiesel is more than a speaker, writer, distinguished university professor and recipient of the Noble Peace Prize. He is one of the major figures of our time and has had an indescribable impact on our generation. The encounter was inspirational and moving. I have tried to reconstruct some of what was said that night, and with permission I am honoured to share the depth of this outstanding sage. We noticed that you came tonight with security. Is this because of your recent attack in San Francisco? Yes. Throughout the years, I have received all kinds of vicious hate mail from anti-Semites, anti-Zionists and from Holocaust deniers. Though their words were violent, I tended to ignore them. But today the deniers and haters seem to have accelerated their hate from violent words to violent actions. It’s unfortunate. You are coming toward the end of your career. What is next on your agenda? Without false humility, I honestly feel that I haven’t even begun. What is your main project today? To fight Ahmadinejad, president of Iran. He is the world’s number one holocaust denier. If he can convince the people that the holocaust never happened, then he can go on to preach that the establishment of the state of Israel was founded on false pretenses, and preach its entire destruction.

Dimensions variable Seung Hui Cho 1984 Seung Hui Cho is born to a family living in a small two-room apartment in Seoul, South Korea. He is an inordinately shy, quiet child, but no problem to his family. He has serious health problems from 9 months to 3 years old, is frail, and after unpleasant medical procedures does not want to be touched. 1992 Cho’s family emigrates to Maryland when he is 8 years old. 1993 The Cho family moves to Fairfax County, Virginia, when he is 9 years old. They work long hours in a dry-cleaning business. 1997 Seung Hui in the 6th grade continues to be very withdrawn. Teachers meet with his parents about this behavior. In the summer before he enters 7th grade, he begins receiving counseling at the Center for Multi-cultural Human Services to address his shy, introverted nature, which is diagnosed as “selective mutism.” Parents try to socialize him more by encouraging extracurricular activities and friends, but he stays withdrawn. 1999 During the 8th grade, suicidal and homicidal ideations are identified by Cho’s middle school teachers in his writing. It is connected to the Columbine shootings[1] this year. (He references Col- umbine in school writings.) The school requests that his parents ask a counselor to intervene, which leads to a psychiatric evaluation at the Multicultural Center for Human Services.
