They went from topic to topic, without pause, and their conversations were recorded, transcribed and later published. During the first visit in 1983, the Rebbe asked the chief rabbis how they felt being outside of Israel. My father said that he had never left the Holy Land before, and that the time away was very difficult for him. To bring him comfort, the Rebbe expounded on the Torah verse, “Jacob lifted his feet and went to the land of the people of the East,” pointing out that while Jacob’s departure from the Land of Israel was a spiritual descent, y father, Rabbi Avraham Shapira, served as the later it turned out that this descent was for the sake of a MAshkenazi chief rabbi of Israel from 1983 until 1993, greater ascent.

    Israel’s Chief Rabbis: Rabbi Avraham Elkanah Kahana Shapira R’ Mordechai Torczyner – [email protected] 1. Rabbi Avraham Shapira, 1914-2007; Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi 1984-1993 2. Rabbi Yitzchak Steinberg, Eulogy at https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/775436/, 20-22 min. Rav Shapira was the oz haTorah. His might, and the strength he had, through the Torah he learned… In Rav Shapira we felt his strength in Torah was so powerful, so strong, that he wasn’t afraid of anything. His psak halachah was clear he wasn’t afraid of people around him, of those who were usually more appreciative of – לא תגורו מפני איש .and cut him, of his circles and so on, and he wasn’t afraid of anyone from the outer circles, from those, from politicians and those who control the country. Yet he wasn’t afraid of them at all… Biography 3. http://www.mercazharav.org.il/?pg=17 In one of his first days in Yeshivat Chevron, during a lecture by the great Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Epstein zt”l to the entire student body, he asked a great question against the entire flow of the lecture. Rabbi Epstein halted the lecture for a few seconds, thought about it, and then continued the lecture as if nothing had been asked. At the start of the next general lecture, Rabbi Epstein asked, “Where is the little one (our master was both young and short in those days) who asked the question in the previous lecture?” After he found him, he continued with a lecture which revolved around the question he had asked in the previous lecture.

  • Kuntres K'sheleg Yavinu the Laws of Snow on Shabbat
    Kuntres K’Sheleg Yavinu The Laws of Snow on Shabbat Prepared by Rabbi David Pardo JLIC at Brandeis Note: This Kuntres tries to straddle the line between concise and comprehensive. To that end, the “final answer” is underlined. Please consult me for any further questions at [email protected]​. Original sources appear in footnotes where it was convenient to do so. Is snow muktzeh? ● Well, for starters, rain is not. The reasoning that it is nolad -- something newly created on Shabbat -- is deflected by the conclusion of the gemara (Eruvin 46a, Mishna Berura 338:301). ● This should logically apply to snow. Thus the clear majority of authorities are lenient​ (cf. R. Moshe Stern, Be’er Moshe 1:20; R. Yehoshua Neuwirth, Shemirat Shabbat Ke-Hilkheta, ch. 16:44 n. 110 and 15:36 in the name of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank; Har Tzvi, Soser; Harav Y.S. Elyashiv, Shalmei Yehudah, pg. 203, also the position of Rav Ovadia Yosef). ● R Moshe Feinstein alone stands up against snow (Igrot Moshe O.C. 5:22:372, quoted in The Halachos of Muktza, p. 165 n. 10). ○ It is not clear why Rav Moshe does not equate snow and rain. Rav Aviner suggests that it could because of meteorological differences in the creation of snow and rain, but rejects the approach anyway. Can I walk on snow (imprint of my shoe i.e. kotev / unavoidable nominal snow crushing)? ● Yes​ (SA OC 320:13)3 ○ The Mishna Brura ad loc explains the reason: eino mitkaevn, and adds the Taz: since it is impossible to “be careful,” Hazal never decreed a gzeira against it.

  • 1 American Victims of the 1929 Hebron Massacre Dr. Yitzchok
    American Victims Of The 1929 Hebron Massacre Dr. Yitzchok Levine Department of Mathematical Sciences Stevens Institute of Technology Hoboken, NJ 07030 [email protected] Introduction On August 27, 1929 The New York Times ran a front page article under the banner 8 AMERICANS LISTED IN 70 HEBRON DEAD Attack on Rabbinical College was Savage – 18 Killed in Banker’s House WOMEN AND CHILDREN SLAIN The headline was, of course, referring to the infamous and unprovoked Hebron Massacre that Arabs perpetrated on innocent Jews on August 24. Many of those killed on this Shabbos were students studying in the branch of the Slabodka Yeshiva then located in Hebron. In 1924 the Lithuanian government tried to draft into the army the majority of students studying in the Slabodka Yeshiva. This, of course, threatened the very existence of the Yeshiva. Since Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Epstein, the Rosh Yeshiva, was in America at that time, Rabbi Yechezkel Sarna tried to have the decree averted, but to no avail. After consulting Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel, known as the Alter of Slabodka, it was decided to transfer the yeshiva to Eretz Yisroel. The Alter sent a telegram to Rabbi Epstein asking if he approved of the plan. Rabbi Epstein wired back his consent promising to make every effort to raise the funds necessary for the yeshiva's relocation. That same year the Alter sent Rabbi Sarna to Eretz Yisroel to choose a site for the yeshiva and to coordinate its establishment there. He was also charged with securing visas for the students. After evaluating various options, Rabbi Sarna chose the city of Hebron as the yeshiva's new home.
