  • From the Rabbi's Desk: Rabbi Chaim Zev Malinowitz's Emails
    From the Rabbi’s Desk: Rabbi Chaim Zev Malinowitz’s Emails SAMPLE Edited by: Eliezer Brodt Ramat Beit Shemesh 2020 Introduction: Within hours of the Petirah of the Rav, Rabbi Chaim Zev Malinowitz Zt”l, I began putting my memories of the Rav down on paper. Among many other facets of the Rav, I wrote about his relationship to email. I was, and still am, fascinated at the extent that the Rav communicated via email. Despite the fact that he was not especially computer-savvy, the Rav embraced using email from the time that the technology first became available. Among the reasons that the Rav preferred email to in-person conversation was because it gave him time to think about the questions that were sent to him, thus fulfilling .והוי מותנים בדין the mishna in Avot In addition, the Rav understood the power of the written word over speech (see the Rambam who says that when one writes, one has to be much more careful than when he speaks, since the impact is so much greater), and he hoped people would read his thought-out, and at times humorous and witty, answers carefully. Being Chief Editor of the Artscroll Shas (and much more) he had lots of experience in writing clearly and to the point. I would like to emphasize, however, that the Rav was not an ‘SMS Rabbi’ in any sense, as is evident from his extensive responses. Moreover, when he couldn’t convey something clearly via email, he would tell the person with whom he was corresponding to call him.

  • Interview with Professor Lawrence Kaplan
    Interview with Professor Lawrence Kaplan Interview with Professor Lawrence KaplanConducted by Baruch Pelta on December 22, 2008 at the 40th Association for Jewish Studies ConferenceTranscribed Using the Services of Olivia WiznitzerCo-edited by Lawrence Kaplan and Baruch Pelta Lawrence Kaplan received his BA from Yeshiva College, his MA and PhD from Harvard University, and his rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary. He has taught at McGill University since 1972, and is currently Professor of Rabbinics and Jewish Philosophy in its Department of Jewish Studies. In the spring of 2004 he held a Harry Starr Fellowship at the Center for Jewish Studies of Harvard. Baruch Pelta is a senior at Touro College South majoring in Jewish Studies. Olivia Wiznitzer is the Editor-in-Chief of “The Observer,” the Stern College for Women and Sy Syms undergraduate student newspaper. Olivia may be reached at [email protected] for those interested in contacting her. I have conducted two semi-formal interviews with Dr. Kaplan. While both interviews were conducted simply out of personal interest, I believe the latter will be of interest to Judaic Studies scholars, especially those who are interested in how Orthodoxy has developed. What follows is an edited transcript of said interview with footnotes. Although I meant to focus this conversation around his scholarly opinions about the rise of Daas Torah in Orthodoxy, we were able to discuss other topics within Dr. Kaplan’s realm of expertise as well. –BP Baruch Pelta: I guess my first question has to be if you changed your position since writing your famous essay on Daas Torah [1] and also, has Daas Torah evolved as a conception since then? Lawrence Kaplan: It’s an interesting question.

  • Sign at Your Own Risk-- the “Rca” Prenuptial May Prejudice the Fairness of Your Future Divorce Settlement
    SIGN AT YOUR OWN RISK-- THE “RCA” PRENUPTIAL MAY PREJUDICE THE FAIRNESS OF YOUR FUTURE DIVORCE SETTLEMENT SUSAN METZGER WEISS Σ David called Rabbi Applebaum, his Talmud teacher, on the phone. "Rabbi,” began David, "I'm engaged. Will you perform the ceremony?” "Mazal Tov, " responded Rabbi Applebaum. "With pleasure David. However, you know that I will not perform any marriage unless the couple signs the premarital agreement recommended by the Rabbinical Council of America.” "No problem, Rabbi," answered David. "All my friends are signing them. I even have a copy on my bedside table.” SYNOPSIS Various premarital agreements have been proposed to offset the power given to men over women by Jewish law in the event of divorce and to ameliorate the resulting injustices to Jewish women. Premarital agreements like the one endorsed by the Rabbinical Council of America (“RCA”), which expand the jurisdiction of the rabbinical courts and allow for the discretionary imposition of the suggested penalty clauses, do not adequately realign the imbalance of powers or correct the ensuing injustices. Such premarital agreements may even prejudice the interests of women in marital property, alimony or child support. This Article analyzes the premarital agreement recommended by the RCA, in contrast to other premarital agreements, and discourages its signing in favor of other agreements that better protect and promote the interests of Jewish women. INTRODUCTION Almost all-Orthodox Jewish couples who marry today in the United States are advised to sign premarital agreements. The RCA, one of the leading Orthodox institutions in the United States 1, encourages couples to sign a premarital agreement, made up of two documents: (1) “Prenuptial Agreement, Husband’s Assumption of Obligation” and (2) “Prenuptial Arbitration Agreement Between Husband and Wife.” 2 In this Article, both documents are referred to as the “RCA Prenup.” 3 The documents are printed on heavy-grade colored paper and sealed with a round gold seal with embossed writing.

  • The East Side Torah Center 317 Henry Street NYC 10002 212-473-1000 Learning Torah Has Never Been Easier!
    Featuring thousands of interesting tapes, CDs, and videos by the most dynamic speakers in America and Israel today… Our main library is located at: The East Side Torah Center 317 Henry Street NYC 10002 212-473-1000 Learning Torah Has Never Been Easier! Dear Friend, Every morning and evening we recite in the Shema , "And you shall speak them while you sit in your house, while you go on the way..." This of course refers to the mitzvah of learning Torah. Each weekday we hop in our cars, ride the bus or subway, or walk to and from work. We go shopping, do laundry, or bake a cake. Why not make better or additional use of that time? Why not hear some of the best Maggidei Shiur lecture on Loshon Hara, Emunah, or the Parsha of the week? Not only will you gain chizuk and get the mitzvah of Limud HaTorah, but those hours of drudgery will go by a lot faster. As most of you know, the Lower East Side has an extensive, free Torah Tape Library. We have tapes for men, women, and children from all backgrounds and all ages, on various topics including Halacha, Yom Tov, Hashkafa, Tanach, Chinuch, Marriage, and more, by popular Jewish speakers like Rabbi Yissochor Frand, Rabbi Avigdor Miller, Rabbi Paysach Krohn, Rebbetzin Faige Twerski, Rabbi Yitzchok Kirzner... The list goes on and on! The latest index contains many exciting updates. We have recently expanded to include CDs— among them the entire Mishnah elucidated by Rabbi Nosson Scherman, and a complete collection of Daf Yomi shiurim—and video cassettes from the likes of Rabbi Amnon Yitzchak.

  • Some Thoughts on New York State Regulation of Jewish Marriage: Covenant, Contract Or Statute?
    SOME THOUGHTS ON NEW YORK STATE REGULATION OF JEWISH MARRIAGE: COVENANT, CONTRACT OR STATUTE? Michael J. Broyde Jewish Law's view of marriage has elements of both covenant (holiness) and contract (agreement) in it, and both of these two values compete in any full description of Jewish marriage. This article aims to explain both contractual and covenantal approaches to Jewish marriage, and relates them to how Jewish Law interacts with secular law in the United States and other countries in the enforcement of rabbinical court decisions and secular court decisions about when and how a marriage ought to end.

INTRODUCTION It is an ancient question whether and to what extent Jewish marriage and divorce law is essentially covenantal or contractual. The answer has changed over time, varies according to different authorities, and is still in flux today. On the one hand, Jewish tradition is replete with references to the sacred nature of the marital relationship.
