  • Chassidus on the Balak Chassidus on the Parsha +
    LIGHTS OF OUR RIGHTEOUS TZADDIKIM בעזרת ה ' יתבר A Tzaddik, or righteous person , makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) BALAK _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah Torah and Business How good are your tents, O Yaakov, your dwellings, O Yisrael (24:5). This is the famous blessing that Hashem placed in the mouth of Bilaam regarding the Jewish people. Why is the residence of the Jewish people considered a tent when they are addressed as Yaakov and a dwelling place when they are addressed as Yisrael? We can see an allusion here, explains Rav Lev i Yitzchok, to the proper relationship of a Jew to his Torah learning and to his business affairs. Yisrael is a higher level than Yaakov, as is well-known. Therefore, the name Yisrael is used when speaking about Torah and the name Yaakov when speaking abou t business. Since tents are temporary dwellings, Yaakov is being told to make his business the subordinate part of his life, and since dwellings places are permanent, Yisrael is being told to make Torah learning the anchor of his existence, as the Mishnah states ( Avos 1:15), “Appoint times for Torah study.” n Story For the first few years after his marriage, Rav Levi Yitzchok and his wife lived in Levertov in the home of his father -in-law Reb Yisrael Peretz, a wealthy businessman who provided for all their needs so that Rav Levi Yitzchok could sit and learn Torah undisturbed.

  • 75 Years and Beyond
    75 YEARS AND BEYOND BERNARD REVEL GRADUATE SCHOOL OF JEWISH STUDIES YESHIVA UNIVERSITY 75 YEARS AND BEYOND 75 YEARS AND BEYOND 75 YEARS AND BEYOND RICHARD M. JOEL President, Yeshiva University I have developed a keen interest in the remarkable legacy of the first president of Yeshiva University. Through his unique vision and untiring commitment, Dr. Bernard Revel made it his mission to build, sustain and grow Yeshiva into the first college of its kind in the world. When pondering the extent of his legacy, one must consider not only Dr. Revel’s profound rabbinic scholarship, but his academic Jewish scholarship as well. From the beginning, he proffered a vision in which the world of Torah in all its facets and forms of study could be explored and celebrated at this institution; how fitting, therefore, that our graduate school of Jewish studies everlastingly bears his name and imprint. The Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies, founded more than 75 years ago, finds itself in the midst of a spectacular renaissance. The quality of both our senior faculty, and a brilliant cadre of junior faculty, enables Revel to have an impact far beyond its boundaries. Our prestigious academic programs are simply unmatched. We’re seeing an extraordinary increase not only in students pursuing master’s degrees, but aspiring scholars who are working on their doctorates; so many of them have entered and enriched our communities with their immense knowledge and tremendous scholarly output. Within Yeshiva, Revel’s vertical integration throughout the Jewish studies programs at this university has further fostered the sacred Torah Umadda conversation in inestimable ways.
