Bob had suffered from There was never a topic or issue that was brought up to Frontotemporal Dementia, a disease that slowly robbed him the committee that he and I (and Cantor Shiovitz) had of his abilities to function. Yet up until the very end, Bob not discussed and come to an understanding about before was able to recognize many people (including me), sing the committee met. We did not always agree, (though songs and interestingly participate whenever parts of the mostly we did), but our discussions were always well Shabbat or holiday service was being sung. If one would informed and respectful. Indeed Bob not only had great begin a reading from the Torah that he recognized, such as respect for the clergy at CSI, he also had great respect for the Song at the Sea (Ex. 15:1-18) he could also join in with Jewish tradition. Although Bob claimed to be an atheist, the reading. he loved to read Torah and lead services, especially on the High Holidays.

Then I would repeat to him something I had Committee, and could attend services.

It is a Sefardi Yom Kippur. In Pirke Avot we read the following: "Rabbi Orthodox synagogue in the city. As a guest, he was given Shimon taught: There are three crowns - the crown of the an aliyah.

The gabbai looked at him in disbelief, but superior to them all." (Pirke Avot 4:17). Bob proceeded to read the special holiday portion, which he had read many times at CSI, perfectly. Bob Davis had the crown of a good name. May he always be remembered at CSI for a blessing. Bob was a principled person, but one who was open to compromise. When we discussed adding the imahot to the amidah prayer (Sarah, Rivkah, Rahel and Leah), some Lhitraot, people were adamant about the change while others objected to it. So Bob suggested we compromise, adding them in the later musaf service, but not in shacharit, a compromise that worked for many years (everyone was unhappy that way!). Another example occurred when I first came to CSI. We were alternating the Yom Kippur afternoon Torah readings from year to year.

  • A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources
    A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources Report of the Planning Committee, Conference On Jewish Material Claims Against Germany June 28, 2000 25 Sivan 5760 1 Rabbi Israel Miller, President, Conference On Jewish Material Claims Against Germany 15 East 26 Street New York, New York Dear Israel, I am pleased to enclose A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources, the report of the distinguished Planning Committee which I have had the honor of chairing. The Committee has completed a thoughtful ten-month process, carefully reviewing the issues and exploring a variety of options before coming to the conclusions contained in this document. We trust that you will bring these recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Claims Conference for review and action. Through this experience, I have become convinced that the work of the Claims Conference is not adequately understood or appreciated. I hope that this report and the results of this planning process will help dispel the confusion about the past and future achievements of the Claims Conference. No amount of money can compensate for the destruction of innocent human beings and thriving communities or the decimation of the Jewish people as a whole by the Nazis. We can try to use available resources - specifically the proceeds of the sale of communal and unclaimed property in the former East Germany - to respond to the most critical needs related to the consequences of the Shoah. This is what the enclosed Plan tries to accomplish. I want to thank the members of the Committee who came from near and far for their attendance and commitment, and for the high quality of their participation.

New Art Panels to be Installed Outside the Sanctuary During this anniversary year, we have learned many lessons. In particular, we are once again reminded that our successes during our first 125 years are largely based on our constantly working in partnership to provide a spiritual home that meets so many of our individual needs; we are again reminded that, indeed, it takes a village! This life lesson is symbolized by an anniversary project undertaken by the Kaleidoscope of Us subcommittee. At and after its hugely successful August 25th “From Babies to Bubbies” event, over 50 of us, from the very young to those not so young, participated in the creation of an art piece designed by Lois Gross, our own “artist-in-residence.” Lois designed four abstract panels that depict aspects of Jewish life.

  • Maharam of Padua V. Giustiniani; the Sixteenth-Century Origins of the Jewish Law of Copyright
    Draft: July 2007 44 Houston Law Review (forthcoming 2007) Maharam of Padua v. Giustiniani; the Sixteenth-Century Origins of the Jewish Law of Copyright Neil Weinstock Netanel* Copyright scholars are almost universally unaware of Jewish copyright law, a rich body of copyright doctrine and jurisprudence that developed in parallel with Anglo- American and Continental European copyright laws and the printers’ privileges that preceded them. Jewish copyright law traces its origins to a dispute adjudicated some 150 years before modern copyright law is typically said to have emerged with the Statute of Anne of 1709. This essay, the beginning of a book project about Jewish copyright law, examines that dispute, the case of the Maharam of Padua v. Giustiniani. In 1550, Rabbi Meir ben Isaac Katzenellenbogen of Padua (known by the Hebrew acronym, the “Maharam” of Padua) published a new edition of Moses Maimonides’ seminal code of Jewish law, the Mishneh Torah. Katzenellenbogen invested significant time, effort, and money in producing the edition. He and his son also added their own commentary on Maimonides’ text. Since Jews were forbidden to print books in sixteenth- century Italy, Katzenellenbogen arranged to have his edition printed by a Christian printer, Alvise Bragadini. Bragadini’s chief rival, Marc Antonio Giustiniani, responded by issuing a cheaper edition that both copied the Maharam’s annotations and included an introduction criticizing them. Katzenellenbogen then asked Rabbi Moses Isserles, European Jewry’s leading juridical authority of the day, to forbid distribution of the Giustiniani edition. Isserles had to grapple with first principles. At this early stage of print, an author- editor’s claim to have an exclusive right to publish a given book was a case of first impression.

  • Judah David Eisenstein and the First Hebrew Encyclopedia
    1 Abstract When an American Jew Produced: Judah David Eisenstein and the First Hebrew Encyclopedia Between 1907 and 1913, Judah David Eisenstein (1854–1956), an amateur scholar and entrepreneurial immigrant to New York City, produced the first modern Hebrew encyclopedia, Ozar Yisrael. The Ozar was in part a traditionalist response to Otsar Hayahdut: Hoveret l’dugma, a sample volume of an encyclopedia created by Asher Ginzberg (Ahad Ha’am)’s circle of cultural nationalists. However, Eisenstein was keen for his encyclopedia to have a veneer of objective and academic respectability. To achieve this, he assembled a global cohort of contributors who transcended religious and ideological boundaries, even as he retained firm editorial control. Through the story of the Ozar Yisrael, this dissertation highlights the role of America as an exporter of Jewish culture, raises questions about the borders between Haskalah and cultural nationalism, and reveals variety among Orthodox thinkers active in Jewish culture in America at the turn of the twentieth century.

    Halevy, Halivni and The Oral Formation of the Babylonian Talmud Ari Bergmann Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ari Bergmann All rights reserved ABSTRACT Halevy, Halivni and The Oral Formation of the Babylonian Talmud Ari Bergmann This dissertation is dedicated to a detailed analysis and comparison of the theories on the process of the formation of the Babylonian Talmud by Yitzhak Isaac Halevy and David Weiss Halivni. These two scholars exhibited a similar mastery of the talmudic corpus and were able to combine the roles of historian and literary critic to provide a full construct of the formation of the Bavli with supporting internal evidence to support their claims. However, their historical construct and findings are diametrically opposed. Yitzhak Isaac Halevy presented a comprehensive theory of the process of the formation of the Talmud in his magnum opus Dorot Harishonim. The scope of his work was unprecedented and his construct on the formation of the Talmud encompassed the entire process of the formation of the Bavli, from the Amoraim in the 4th century to the end of the saboraic era (which he argued closed in the end of the 6th century). Halevy was the ultimate guardian of tradition and argued that the process of the formation of the Bavli took place entirely within the amoraic academy by a highly structured and coordinated process and was sealed by an international rabbinical assembly. While Halevy was primarily a historian, David Weiss Halivni is primarily a talmudist and commentator on the Talmud itself.
