Mrs. Cohen husband, Mr. Elazar (Elie) Cohen and his family had a longtime relationship with Hacham Ben Zion which Mrs. Cohen describes below. followed by Kabbalat Shabbat / Arvit Rav Abba Shaul, his family and the Cohen family all lived in the neighborhood Shabbat Morning of Bet Israel along Rehov Shmuel HaNavi. Life was precarious in this neighborhood prior to the Six Day War, as it straddled the border with Jordan. This neighborhood is Shaharit 8:30 am where so many of the great Rabbis of that generation were raised, such as Rav Ovadia Latest Shema 9:36 am Yosef, Rav Baruch Ben Haim of Brooklyn, Rav Cohen from Panama, Haham Tzadka Minha 4:00 pm and many more. Today the Mir Yeshiva flourishes in this neighborhood. Rav Manzour Arvit 4:59 pm who attended my grandson Zachary's Bar Mitzvah still lives and his Yeshiva is located Havdala 5:09 pm Parent Child Learning 7:00 pm there. He told us that this neighborhood is built over where the ashes of Korbanot where taken from the Beit HaMikdash. Weekly Schedule The father of Rav Ben Zion Abba Shaul and my father-in-law Binyamin with a Shaharit few others formed the Kehillah Ohel Rahel that is still operated by the Abba Shaul Sunday 7:45 am family. This is where Rav Abba Shaul delivered his weekly Derasha on Shabbat for many years. This is where my brother law, the legendary Hazan Yaacov Cohen learned Mon/Thu 6:20 am the Tefilla that he brought to Englewood. Tue/Wed/Fri 6:30 am The families were very close. When my husband Elie was born, Rav Abba Minha/Arvit Shaul told Elie's father that since his uncle Elazar had no children, Elie’s father should Sunday 4:10 pm name this son for him. This is why Elie is named Elazar! Over the years we would visit Rav Abba Shaul when we traveled to Israel. On two occasions when Rav Abba Shaul came to America we had the privilege of hosting him at our house in Englewood together with his son, wife and oldest grandson. I took them shopping to Alexander’s Department store that was then located in Paramus. I remember how he wanted his wife Hadas to buy a few dresses (like a sweater dress so that she would be warm). I remember the the extreme Kavod/honor that he showed to her. This occurred approximately in 1980. Rav Abba Shaul was so humble that he did not want people to stand for him. When he would attend the Beit Kenesset he would wait for the point when everyone was already standing. Only then would he enter the room. He never sought honor; he desired only to study Torah. My son Ben and daughter Kiki had the great honor to spend Shabbat with Rav Abba Shaul at his Jerusalem home but this occurred after he had already suffered a stroke and was not verbal. My son Ben took him down the steps in a wheel chair with his grandson Benzion to take him to Tefillah. Still today we remain in touch with many members of the Abba Shaul family. When my son Isaac studied in Israel for the year, one of his teachers was the nephew of Rav Abba Shaul. Our connection with the Abba Shaul family is one of the most special memories of our family!

He was gifted a pair of baby Macaw Parrots by the king of the last kingdom where he was visiting. They were the most beautiful birds he had ever "And Ya'akov (Jacob) called to his sons, and he said, seen. So, upon returning to his kingdom, he called for a bird trainer and asked him 'Gather together and I will tell you what will befall you in the end of to train macaw parrots. days' " (when the Jewish people will be redeemed from galus/exile) Genesis 49:1. The king also arranged a place in the palace garden for the parrots. He often looked at them from his palace window. As time passed, one day the trainer What did Ya'akov mean when he used the phrase "Gather came to the palace and informed the king that though one of the parrots was flying together"? majestically high in the sky, the other one was not moving from its branch since the day it had arrived.

    LEON SAKKAL THE ARCHITECT OF THE SYRIAN COMMUNITY Marking 10 Years since the Passing of our Leader Hacham Baruch Ben Haim, zt”l On 24 Iyar, 5765 (June 2, 2005), our community mourned the loss of our revered leader and teacher, Hacham Baruch Ben Haim, zt”l. For 56 years, Hacham Baruch built, nurtured, and steered the Syrian community of Greater New York towards the prominent status it holds today.

  • The Case of the Pineapple
    J. David Bleich SURVEY OF RECENT HALAKHIC LITERATURE TREES AND PLANTS: THE CASE OF THE PINEAPPLE n the United States the presence of pineapple is ubiquitous on fes- tive and not so festive occasions. Not so in pre-World War II European I communities. Immigrants to this country embraced the pineapple as an affordable treat rather than as an expensive luxury. But the pineapple was not embedded in their culinary culture and hence there was no ac- companying tradition for its halakhic characterization. Cultivated on rela- tively low-growing plants, it was simply presumed to be analogous to a vegetable. Long ago, Socrates declared, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”1 The halakhic counterpart would be “The unexamined foodstuff may not be consumed.” The Gemara, Berakhot 35a, declares that if a person is in doubt with regard to a rule governing blessings he dare not partake of the food in question until that doubt is resolved: “Let him fi rst go to a wise man to teach him blessings so that he not commit me’ilah,” i.e., illicit appropriation of property belonging to the Deity.2 The American Torah community has achieved a level of halakhic knowledge and sophistication such that unexamined premises are no lon- ger regarded as acceptable as a matter of course. That sophistication has brought with it a keen awareness that many heretofore unexamined hal- akhic issues require analytic refl ection. The status of food products in general is one such area and that of the pineapple is a prime example. Some simply refrained from eating pineapples because they became aware of the existence of an issue, albeit one that, more often than not, they could not articulate in a knowledgeable manner.

    Marc B. Shapiro – Clarifications of Previous Posts Clarifications of Previous Posts by Marc B. Shapiro [The footnote numbers reflects the fact this is a continuation of this earlier post.] 1. I was asked to expand a bit on how I know that R. Barukh Epstein’s story with Rayna Batya is contrived. In this story we see her great love of Torah study and her difficulty in accepting a woman’s role in Judaism. Certainly, she must have been a very special woman, and I assume that she was, for a woman, quite learned. When Mekor Barukh was published there were still plenty of people alive who had known her and it would have been impossible to entirely fabricate her personality. The same can be said about Epstein’s report of the Netziv reading newspapers on Shabbat. This is not the sort of thing that could be made up. Let’s not forget that the Netziv’s widow, son (R. Meir Bar-Ilan) and many other family members and close students were alive, and Epstein knew that they would not have permitted any improper portrayal. It is when recording private conversations that one must always be wary of what Epstein reports. A good deal has been written about the Rayna Batya story, and Dr. Don Seeman has referred to it as “the only record which has been preserved of a woman’s daily interactions with her male interlocutor over several months.”[15] When challenged about the historical accuracy of Epstein’s recollections, Seeman replied “that there is no evidence to indicate that R.

There are tens of thousands of worms in the sea4 which are eaten by different kinds of kosher fish, many of which are eaten by the kosher consumer.5 It is important to realize that the issue of worms in fish is not new.6 This article will present the halachos of worms in fish, and explain the opinions for permitting and forbidding fish which are infested with the anisakis worm.

Defendant Ohel Yaacob Congregation (the “Congregation”) claims that the property is entitled to exemption pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.6 because it is a parsonage or, alternatively, because it is a building actually used in the work of an association or corporation organized exclusively for religious purposes. file:///C|/Users/Peter/Desktop/Opinions/02643-01.opn.html[4/20/2013 11:51:21 AM] 02643-01.opn.html The Congregation is a nonprofit religious corporation formed in 1982 or 1983. It is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and has a synagogue located in Deal, New Jersey. The subject property is in Long Branch, but is adjacent to the synagogue in Deal. It consists of a two-story * masonry and concrete building dating from about 1930, and, at some time prior to its acquisition by the Congregation in June 1995, the property was apparently used as a summer hotel.
