  • How Can We Prove the Divine Nature of the Torah?
    How can we prove the divine nature of the Torah? God gifted us the Torah, charging us with a large number of duties and responsibilities. All branches of Orthodox Judaism agree that the Torah is divine, given to us at Har Sinai. How do we know this; is there any proof for this? The main source for the Revelation is in Parshas Yisro. In 19:10-1 it says Hashem said to Moshe 'Go to the people and sanctify them, today and tomorrow, and they shall wash their garments (and they should go to the mikveh - this is one of the sources for mikveh as part of conversion). Let them be prepared for the third day because on that day God will come down and appear before the entire people. In 19:17 Moshe brought the people forth from the camp to greet God, and they stood at the bottom of the mountain (perhaps under the mountain). God is making His presence felt in very physical ways with spectacular phenomenon. In 19:19 there is a tremendously loud sound of a shofar. This is followed by the giving of the Ten Commandments. So God Himself comes down to the mountain for the entire people to hear Him - this is the only time an entire nation was able to encounter God in such an open manner. There were 2-3 million people who were involved with this, experiencing this Revelation. The Torah revisits this in Devarim 4:7-10 For which is a great nation that has a God Who is close to it, as is Hashem, our God, whenever we call to Him? And which is a great nation that has righteous decrees and ordinances, such as this entire Torah that I place before you this day? Moshe warns the people to guard their lives carefully and not to forget the things that they saw with their own eyes at Sinai; they must pass this down to their children and their children.

  • Abstract Pray the Gay Away
    ABSTRACT PRAY THE GAY AWAY: RHETORICAL DILEMMAS OF THE AMERICAN EX-GAY MOVEMENT by Travis Allan Webster The Ex-Gay Movement marks a contemporary, traditionally North American emergence of “reparative” therapies and ministries that attempt to convert gay men and lesbians into “straight” identities. Pray the Gay Away theorizes these reparative rhetoric(s) as arenas that create discursive spaces of tension—what I call “second closets”—for “ex-gays” in virtual and material contexts. Through digital, rhetorical analyses, this thesis investigates the performative and linguistic reactions of ex-gays exhibited in online testimonies on pro-ex-gay websites, while examining rhetoric(s) of counter-hegemonic, online communities that seek to work against the Ex-Gay Movement.

    Ten-year-old Moshiko was saved by an organ transplant made possible by the Halachic Organ Donor Society Saving Lives n 1995, 20-year-old American Alisa Flatow died of her injuries following a terrorist Iattack in Israel. After consulting with Rabbi Moshe Tendler, a renowned Orthodox rabbi and an expert in biomedical ethics, her parents made the emotionally difficult but courageous decision to donate her organs for transplantation saving many lives. Alisa Flatow This highly publicized case was followed by organ donations from other Orthodox Jews, including J.J. Greenberg, Yoni Jesner and Tani Goodman. Nonetheless, a widespread misconception persists among Jews of all denominations, including secular Jews, that traditional Jewish law (i.e. Halacha) J.J. Greenberg categorically prohibits organ donation. As a result of this misunderstanding, Jews have one of the lowest organ donation rates of any ethnic group. Only 8 percent of Israel’s population are registered organ donors, as compared to 35 percent of the population in most Western countries. Yoni Jesner Meanwhile, the demand for organ transplants continues to increase. In the past decade, the number of Americans waiting for organs has grown from 27,000 to more than 100,000 today. More than 100 Israelis and 6,000 Americans die every year waiting for Tani Goodman an organ transplant. 2 www.hods.org www.hods.org 3 Halachic Organ Donor Society (Halacha is Hebrew for Jewish law; halachic is the adjective) The HOD* Society saves lives by increasing organ donation from Jews to the general population (including non-Jews). It does this by educating Jews about the medical and halachic issues concerning organ donation so their decision about being an organ donor will be based on a complete understanding of the issue.

  • Articles Male Mythological Beings Among the South Slavs Joseph L
    3 Articles Male Mythological Beings Among the South Slavs Joseph L. Conrad University of Kansas The South Slavs have a long tradition of belief in protective domestic spirits and in malevolent demons of the field, forest and water.(1) Such mythological creatures were prevalent among all Slavic peoples and are part of the common Indo-European heritage.(2) Whereas most beliefs of this type receded among the East and West Slavs by the end of the nineteenth century, they were maintained in many areas of the Balkans until the beginning of the Second World War.(3) Ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the 1960s-1980s has shown that many farmers and stockbreeders in the more remote villages (of former Yugoslavia) have not abandoned their traditional beliefs. For example, the protector housesnake,(4) mischievous forest and dangerous water spirits, and many lesser mythological beings have been reported in several South Slavic territories in the last forty years. Many traditional domestic rituals have their origin in the conviction that the family ancestor's spirit resides under the threshold or near the open hearth and, if properly cared for, will ensure happiness and good fortune for the family. In Russia that spirit was manifest in the domovoj, "house spirit," but as this name itself was taboo, he was referred to in euphemisms such as ded or deduška, "grandfather," and xozjain "master." Offerings of food, especially bread and salt, the traditional symbols of hospitality, were routinely left for the domovoj at night before the family retired. The

  • A Christian Understanding of Homosexuality
    A CHRISTIAN UNDERSTANDING OF HOMOSEXUALITY Introduction Over the past 45 years, our society has undergone a revolution – there is really no other way to describe it – in the prevailing cultural attitudes towards homosexuality and various related ‘alternative’ sexualities, an entire range of behaviors now collectively referred to by the acronym LGBTQ – Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (this last term being a catch-all for identities and behaviors that do not fit into any of the preceding categories). Most of the contemporary population has come of age during this revolution. Older readers will remember a time when if such things were even mentioned, it was usually in the form of a tasteless joke, or in the context of an insult. Indeed, the behaviors associated with homosexuality were once criminally punishable in almost every jurisdiction – federal, state, and local – in the United States, and similarly abroad. To be ‘outed’ credibly as someone who engaged in homosexual behavior usually meant that one’s reputation and career were ruined. Active homosexuals stayed carefully closeted, as they could become targets of blackmail or worse. Today, not only does our society broadly tolerate homosexual behavior, it is legally recognized and given protected status. The US Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision in June of 2015 made the United States the 22nd country to officially recognize same-sex marriage. Homosexual characters are everywhere in television and films, and the attention of social progressives is moving towards the mainstreaming of ever more exotic sexual identities. Young people are growing up in an environment where casual acceptance of homosexuality and bisexuality is increasingly seen as the norm, and where dissenters from the new orthodoxy are regarded with contempt, not only as ignorant and unenlightened, but as positively evil.

  • Women's Studies in the History of Religions
    1 Women’s Studies in the History of Religions DAVID KINSLEY On the most archaic levels of culture, living as a human being is in itself a religious act, for alimentation, sexual life, and work have a sacramental value. In other words, to be— or rather, to become—a man means to be “religious.” —Mircea Eliade, A History of Religious Ideas o appreciate the radical impact women’s studies has had on the discipline Tof history of religions, it is necessary first to describe briefly how the his- tory of religions understands its task. The history of religions, which claims to be the objective, scientific study of religion, sets as its task nothing less than the study, in historical and cross- cultural perspective, of all human religious phenomena. It includes in its pur- view, not only sophisticated, literate, philosophical, and theological materials, but also popular expressions of human religiosity such as festivals, life cycle rituals, myths, and practices that are found only in oral traditions. The history of religions seeks to avoid an approach to human religiosity that privileges cer- tain materials as “higher” and others as “lower.” It assumes that all expres- sions of human religiosity are worthy of study. In the words of Mircea Eliade: “For the historian of religions, every manifestation of the sacred is important: every rite, every myth, every belief or divine figure reflects the experience of the sacred and hence implies the notions of being, of meaning, and of truth.”1 History of religions does not seek to evaluate one religion (or religious expression) vis-à-vis another with a view to declaring one superior to the other.
