One who brought an offering accidental transgressions. A Kohen Gadol who had to lay their hands upon it (semicha). The accidentally contravened specific serious shechita (slaughter) of the animal could be done prohibitions had to bring a bull, parts of which by anyone, but the processes thereafter (catching were burned on the mizbeach, the rest were the blood and sprinkling it on the altar) were burned outside the camp. A similar process had performed only by the Kohanim. The olah offering to be done if the High Court’s (Sanhedrin) ruling was cut up and all of the pieces were burned on caused an accidental transgression by the the mizbeach (altar). The verses detail an olah common people.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION RECOVERING A REPRESSED PAS T On February 12, 2013, Ruth Calderon was invited to the dais of the Israeli Knesset to deliver her firs t speech as a newly-elected member of parliament.1 The speech was unlike any given in the his tory of deliberations in Israel’s legislature in that it consis ted primarily of her reading and interpreting a Talmudic s tory. The Talmudic s tory that Calderon read before the Knesset, firs t in the original Aramaic and then in Hebrew translation, was, as is typical of these s tories, very brief: Rabbi Rahumi s tudied under Rava in Mehoza. He would regularly come home to his wife on the eve of Yom Kippur. One day [on the eve of Yom Kippur] the topic [he was s tudying] drew him in. His wife anticipated him, “He is coming. He is coming.” He did not come. She began to grieve. She shed a tear from her eye. He was sitting on a roof. The roof collapsed under him, and he died. (B. Ketubot 62b)2 The s tory reflects what appears to have been a common practice among rabbinic scholars in Babylonia: to absent themselves from home for long periods of time to s tudy Torah. The author of the s tory expresses his disapproval of this cus tom by portraying empathically the emotional s tress experienced by Rabbi Rahumi’s wife when he was so engaged in Torah s tudy that he forgot to return home for the sacred holiday. The excitement captured in her cry of anticipation, “He is coming.

    Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As of, January 27, 2015) Elections In Israel, elections for the Knesset are held at least every four years. As is frequently the case, the outgoing government coalition collapsed due to disagreements between the parties. As a result, the Knesset fell significantly short of seeing out its full four year term. Knesset elections in Israel will now be held on March 17, 2015, slightly over two years since the last time that this occurred. The Basics of the Israeli Electoral System All Israeli citizens above the age of 18 and currently in the country are eligible to vote. Voters simply select one political party. Votes are tallied and each party is then basically awarded the same percentage of Knesset seats as the percentage of votes that it received. So a party that wins 10% of total votes, receives 10% of the seats in the Knesset (In other words, they would win 12, out of a total of 120 seats). To discourage small parties, the law was recently amended and now the votes of any party that does not win at least 3.25% of the total (probably around 130,000 votes) are completely discarded and that party will not receive any seats. (Until recently, the “electoral threshold,” as it is known, was only 2%). For the upcoming elections, by January 29, each party must submit a numbered list of its candidates, which cannot later be altered. So a party that receives 10 seats will send to the Knesset the top 10 people listed on its pre-submitted list.

Photo credit: Base for Discussion (B4D) Peacebuilding in practice #1 Influential ultra-Orthodox women are change agents for peace Interpeace’s engagement with ultra-Orthodox women aims to promote the emergence of a new women leadership that is representative of the ultra-Orthodox population in Israel and at the same time committed to dialogue and peace.

The ultra-Orthodox women visit the Rabbin Center and meet with Rabin’s daughter, Dalia Rabin, who is pictured fourth from right. Photo credit: Base for Discussion (B4D) Peacebuilding in practice #1: Influential ultra-Orthodox women are change agents for peace Background Up until now high-level peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine have lacked broad-based public participation. Without that support, all outcomes from the negotiation table are at much higher risk of failure. Within Israel, there are key sectors of the population that have not been involved in peace initiatives, but who have an influence on the peace process. Most peace initiatives have focused on those in Israel who are already part of the peace camp. If a future accord is to bring lasting peace, it is essential that sidelined groups are brought into the peace process, especially as there will potentially be a referendum on the subject.
