Etz hayim torah and commentary pdf Continue tree of life in English) hummash, also known as Etz Hayim: Torah and Commentary, is a humash (Torah in print), published and used by the conservative Jewish movement. Its production included the cooperation of the Rabbinical Assembly, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the Jewish Society of Publications. Authors Senior ,עץ חיים Etz Hayim (etz hayyim Editor: David L. Lieber P'Shat Comment editor: Chaim Potok D'Rash Comment Editor: Harold Kushner Haftar Comment: Michael Fishbein Literary Editor: Jules Harlow Halah L'Maaseh Editors: Elliot Dorff and Susan Grossman Content Etz Haim contains text in Hebrew Torah, a modern English translation of the Hebrew edition (JPS) into Hebrew, a series of comments written in English about the Torah, which run along with the Hebrew text and its English translation, as well as a number of essays on Thor and Tanah at the back of the book. Etz Hayim contains three types of commentary: p'shat, which discusses the literal meaning of the text, the drash, which relies on Talmudic, medieval, chassidic, and modern Jewish sources to set out on the deeper meaning of the text, and halacha l'maaseh, which explains how the text relates to current Jewish practice and halacha, or Jewish law. The essays at the back cover a wide range of topics, from kosher to eschatology and everything in between. Some essays support the traditional view that the Torah is the divine word of God, while others challenge it and question the historicality of some biblical narratives. This caused objections among Orthodox circles in connection with the publication.

    Interpersonal Relationships by Rabbi Sheryl Katzman and Galya Greenberg 4

    CM SourceBook Covers May 2014 Alt:CM cover 8/5/14 10:03 AM Page 8 SOURCEBOOK FOR COMMUNITY LEARNING: JANUARY Interpersonal Relationships by Rabbi Sheryl Katzman and Galya Greenberg 4 www.chaimitzvah.org 4–Interpersonal Relationships: Family & Friends INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS i introduction This story, reprinted from the bookWhen All You’ve Ever Wanted Isn’t Enough, serves as a foundation to begin thinking about the intimate, personal relationships in our lives. text א I was sitting on a beach one summer day, watching two children, a boy and a girl, playing in the sand. They were hard at work building an elaborate sand castle by the water’s edge, with gates and towers and moats and internal passages. Just when they had nearly finished their project, a big wave came along and knocked it down, reducing it to a heap of wet sand. I expected the children to burst into tears, devastated by what had happened to all their hard work. But they surprised me. Instead, they ran up the shore away from the water, laughing and holding hands, and sat down to build another castle. I realized that they had taught me an important lesson. All the things in our lives, all the complicated structures we spend so much time and energy creating, are built on sand. Only our relationships to other people endure. Sooner or later, the wave will come along and knock down what we have worked so hard to build up. When that happens, only the person who has somebody’s hand to hold will be able to laugh.

    INDEX of the PROCEEDINGS of THE RABBINICAL ASSEMBLY ❦ INDEX of the PROCEEDINGS of THE RABBINICAL ASSEMBLY ❦ Volumes 1–62 1927–2000 Annette Muffs Botnick Copyright © 2006 by The Rabbinical Assembly ISBN 0-916219-35-6 All rights reserved. No part of the text may be reproduced in any form, nor may any page be photographed and reproduced, without written permission of the publisher. Manufactured in the United States of America Designed by G&H SOHO, Inc. CONTENTS Preface . vii Subject Index . 1 Author Index . 193 Book Reviews . 303 v PREFACE The goal of this cumulative index is two-fold. It is to serve as an historical reference to the conventions of the Rabbinical Assembly and to the statements, thoughts, and dreams of the leaders of the Conser- vative movement. It is also to provide newer members of the Rabbinical Assembly, and all readers, with insights into questions, problems, and situations today that are often reminiscent of or have a basis in the past. The entries are arranged chronologically within each author’s listing. The authors are arranged alphabetically. I’ve tried to incorporate as many individuals who spoke on a subject as possible, as well as included prefaces, content notes, and appendices. Indices generally do not contain page references to these entries, and I readily admit that it isn’t the professional form. However, because these indices are cumulative, I felt that they were, in a sense, an historical set of records of the growth of the Conservative movement through the twentieth century, and that pro- fessional indexers will forgive these lapses.
  • Introduction to Judaism Syllabus

    Introduction to Judaism Syllabus

    5773 (2012) Community Wide Introduction to Judaism Course Co-Sponsored by Sacramento Rabbis' Associaton and the Jewish Federation of the Sacramento Region Instructor: Dr. David Zuckerman Mondays 7-9pm Email: [email protected] About the Course and the Syllabus The course and syllabus have been designed with multiple audiences in mind. Some students might be Jews involved with a synagogue and would like to fill in gaps in their basic Jewish education. Some might be totally unfamiliar with Judaism, may or may not be Jewish, but have heard or read something about Judaism and want to learn more. Others might be committed to another faith and interested in learning about the Jewish roots of Christianity and Islam. Still others might be working on conversion to Judaism. All are welcome. Because of our limited time and the vastness of the material that I would like to cover, we need to begin promptly at 7:00 PM. The lectures are designed to be responsive to questions. Remember the Rabbinic admonition, “One who is embarrassed [to ask questions], does not learn.” Please read the material before you come to each Monday’s class. Write down words you don’t understand or can’t pronounce, make note of concepts you find challenging, appealing, or even appalling. Bring questions to class, or email them to me before we meet so that I can incorporate them into the night’s conversation. This class will teach you the basics about Judaism, and will give you the opportunity to meet the community’s rabbis and see several of the congregations.

    Noteworthy Jewish Descendants of Mariampole and Vicinity

    Chapter 2 Noteworthy Jewish Descendants of Mariampole and Vicinity INTRODUCTION Some Mariampolers managed to survive not only the difficulties of life under the Russian Tsar and the Communists, but also the far more murderous designs of the Nazi regime. Those who managed to save themselves by immigrating to America and other parts of the world multiplied, and, in time, prospered as well. Within two or three generations, their descendants contributed to society in a great number of professions and community services. Some Jewish Mariampoler descendants have risen to high levels of achievement. By recognizing the work of those who have survived, we can surmise how much poorer our world is for the loss of those whose lives were cut short. While this is by no means a complete account of all of the descendants who have made valuable contributions, it is my hope that these biographical sketches will encourage others to share with me their stories so that they can be included in a subsequent edition of this project. If you know of someone who should be included, contact the author listed above or the Chicago History Museum.

Could be BetterBy A.E. PreroI'm not sure what I was expecting as I excitedly waited for this book to arrive. I guess something deep and meaningful for my life. After all..."revolution", "changed the world"...are pretty big accolades. As a result, I was disappointed. Not all that deep. Not written in a very interesting way. Not world-changing. Maybe for some people but I didn't find it to be so.12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Fourteen biblical truths that changed the worldBy Israel DrazinRabbi Dr. Reuven Hammer is the author of many scholarly books written in a popular, easy to read, and informative style. In this volume, he discusses fourteen truths that underlie many teachings, laws, and stories contained in the Hebrew Bible, truths that have been accepted by many cultures and changed the thinking and behaviors of many societies.
