Furthermore, the same mules which made Rebbe's stable-boy wealthy are also featured in an When a famine strikes, Hashem tells Yitzchak Avinu to unflattering story.

  • Sukkos, 5781 Dear Talmidim, the Recent Uptick in Covid-19 Prompts
    1 Sukkos, 5781 Dear Talmidim, The recent uptick in Covid-19 prompts this letter. The Torah requires that we avoid dangerous activity. The protection afforded to Mitzvah performance does not apply when danger is prevalent (Pesachim 8b). In all gatherings, masks covering everyone's mouth and nose must be worn. In addition, appropriate social distance between attendees (except for members of the same household) must be maintained. Hands must be washed with soap and water or with proper hand sanitizer. On Shabbos and Yom Tov liquid soap or sanitizer may and must be used. On Simchas Torah, the usual hakafos and dancing are prohibited. At the discretion of every local rav, hakafos may be limited or eliminated. Any dancing must be done while wearing masks and socially distanced. Upon advice from medical experts, we recommend that the sefer Torah not be passed from one person to another. Preferably, one person should circle the bima 7 times. After each hakafa the tzibur should join in an appropriate nigun and "dance" in place. The practice of everyone getting an aliya is a minhag, not a din, and may be adjusted or eliminated at the discretion of the local rav (see links here and here for similar horaos}. Similarly, at weddings the usual dancing is prohibited. Any dancing must be done while wearing masks and socially distanced. Chasanim and their families are urged to limit the size of weddings and to insist upon and enforce masking and appropriate distancing by all their guests. Adherence to all the above is required by the halacha which demands great caution to protect life and good health.

  • 1 Claudia Gioia
    Claudia Gioia - Let’s start with your history. Your artistic education, your cultural references and influences and your personal path. How do you place your research and who were and who are your companions? Nahum Tevet – During my High School I started taking courses in painting and drawing. I was born in a kibbutz, and the kibbutz educational system was very supporting for art. I saw myself as a painter and immediately after the army I was looking for a place to study. I felt that the schools were not good places. I mean at that time the Academy was, only at the beginning, as a contemporary art school. There was actually Raffi Lavie, whose retrospective is now at the Venice Biennial, and in those years, in 1969 and 1970 he magnetized a group of young artists that studied with him mostly on a private basis. I was 23 and he was 33, at that time he was leading a real, I wouldn’t say revolution, but he was the most important figure in creating a new young scene of Israeli art. One could say that it was really the beginning of contemporariness; it was the end of a certain kind of painting that was mainly a local version of French abstraction. There were some three or four wonderful painters that were not known internationally. One of them was extremely important for the new generation: Arie Aroch. He was a painter and an intellectual who served the Israeli ambassador in Sweden at the time of Pontus Hulten, he knew about Duchamp and he saw Jasper Jones and Rauschenberg in real time, and somehow it influenced his work.
