And one gets the feeling that this is what the candi- dates have their hopes pinned on—that you won’t have time for more than a cursory glance at the material and will draw conclusions based on these political darts that are thrown at us, and at one another, every chance they get—at, by the way, not insignificant expense. The substance of the race is that the candidates are vying for a seat on the Nassau County Legislature, which meets in Mineola, New York. The Legislature is composed of 19 members, and for the last few years it has had a 10–9 Democratic majority. Mr. Toback is a ten-year incumbent who has served the needs of the community well. Many of those in leadership positions say they’ve always been able to depend on Toback and that he is always available and responsive when there is an issue that impacts the com- munity in some specific way. He is accessible and person- able. Though the political demographics of the Five Towns would seem to lean in the Republican direction, that is not necessarily the case when it comes to local politics. Howard Kopel, 58, is a prod- uct of what has evolved into an influential Orthodox Jewish community that has firmly established itself as a political force in the Five Towns over the last decade. Kopel is an attorney in the real-estate investment business. He’s a conservative thinker and sub- scribes to the idea that contin- ual tax increases are a financial imposition on citizens and counterproductive in righting a shaky economy. It is true that until Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi was swept into office eight years ago and the Democrats took control of the Legislature, Nassau County had been run by Republican leadership for decades and was left on the verge of insolvency. The new Democratic leadership had no choice but to raise real-estate taxes almost 40 percent in order to balance the county budget. As Toback rightly points out, since those draconian increases, the Democratic leadership has held firm over the last several years and has raised our taxes by only 3.9 percent. Mr. Kopel says—in his campaign literature as well as in an interview last week—that this is “smoke and Continued on Page 12 8 October 30, 2009 5 TOWNS JEWISH TIMES 5 TOWNS JEWISH TIMES October 30, 2009 9 FEATURES Around The Five Towns 44 P.O.

  • Our Shabbos in Shebreshin
    Our Shabbos in Shebreshin As Ashkenazim — Jews of Northern/Eastern European ances- try — we called it Shabbos; for the Mediterranean Sephardim, the word was Shabbat. It was our Sabbath, and it started on Fridays — to be exact, about six o’clock every Friday morning. I would hear my mother get out of bed and prepare herself for the big event of baking the bread that was to last all week. One day, as a young child, I too got up, announcing to my mother that I would go with her. She didn’t resist very much. She pulled down my nightshirt, took my hand, and led me in my bare feet across the few yards to my grandfather’s house. Grandma was already awake and moving about. The kitchen was brightly lit, the large brick stove and oven were fired up, and there were piles of sifted flour on the table. Some dough was already rising. The kitchen was adjacent to my grandparents’ bedroom, and the door was seldom closed. Zaida saw me coming in, smiled, and beckoned me to come join him in his bed. He put me on his chest. I buried my face in his beard. It smelled of spices. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warmth. We watched the two women prepare the baking — sifting and kneading. First, the white flour for the twisted Shabbos challah and other white-dough baked goods; later, the dark rye OUR SHABBOS IN SHEBRESHIN 127 to bake in round loaves, sprinkled on top with caraway seeds.

  • Translation” by Artscroll, the Rogochover and the Radichkover
    Another “Translation” by Artscroll, the Rogochover and the Radichkover Another “Translation” by Artscroll, the Rogochover and the Radichkover Marc B. Shapiro 1. As I discuss in Changing the Immutable, sometimes a choice of translation serves as a means of censorship. In other words, one does not need to delete a text. Simply mistranslating it will accomplish one’s goal. Jay Shapiro called my attention to an example of this in the recent ArtScroll translation of Sefer ha-Hinukh, no. 467. In discussing the prohibition to gash one’s body as idol- worshippers so, Sefer ha-Hinukh states: אבל שנשחית גופנו ונקלקל עצמנו כשוטים, לא טוב לנו ולא דרך חכמים ואנשי בינה היא, רק מעשה המון הנשים הפחותות וחסרי הדעת שלא הבינו דבר במעשה הא-ל ונפלאותיו. The Feldheim edition ofSefer ha-Hinnukh, with Charles Wengrov’s translation, reads as follows: But that we should be be destructive to our body and injure ourselves like witless fools—this is not good for us, and is not the way of the wise and the people of understanding. It is solely the activity of the mass of low, inferior women lacking in sense, who have understood nothing of God’s handiwork and his wonders. This is a correct translation. However, Artscroll “translates” -as “masses of small המון הנשים הפחותות וחסרי הדעת the words minded and unintelligent people.” This is clearly a politically correct translation designed to avoid dealing with Sefer ha-Hinukh’s negative comment about the female masses. I will only add that Sefer ha-Hinukh’s statement is indeed troubling. Why did he need to throw in “the women”? His point would have been the exact same leaving this out, as we can see from ArtScroll’s “translation.” Knowing what we know about the “small-minded unintelligent” men in medieval times, it is hard to see why he had to pick on women in this comment, as the masses of ignorant men would have also been a good target for his put-down.

Tzadik is also the root of the word tzedakah ('charity', literally 'righteousness'). The term tzadik "righteous", and its associated meanings, developed in Rabbinic thought from its Talmudic contrast with hasid ("pious" honorific), to its exploration in Ethical literature, and its esoteric spiritualisation in Kabbalah. Since the late 17th century, in Hasidic Judaism, the institution of the mystical tzadik as a divine channel assumed central importance, combining popularization of (hands- on) Jewish mysticism with social movement for the first time.[1] Adapting former Kabbalistic theosophical terminology, Hasidic thought internalised mystical Joseph interprets Pharaoh's Dream experience, emphasising deveikut attachment to its Rebbe leadership, who embody (Genesis 41:15–41).

  • The Library Exhibitions
    THE LIBRARY EXHIBITIONS LIBRARY OF AGUDAS CHASSIDEI CHABAD OHEL YOSEF YITZCHAK – LUBAVITCH The 14 Exhibitions held at The Library’s Exhibition Hall 1994-2015 * Compiled by Rabbi Shalom Dovber Levine PUBLISHED BY THE LIBRARY OF AGUDAS CHASSIDEI CHABAD OHEL YOSEF YITZCHAK-LUBAVITCH 770 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, New York 5776-2016 ב"ה Introduction Since the opening of the Library’s exhibition hall on 18th Elul, 1994 (5754), we have chosen various subjects for exhibions which we feature every year or two. Guidebooks have been published for most of the exhibitions. The present volume brings together all these guidebooks. Included as well are overviews of those exhibitions for which no guidebook was published, based on contemporary reports, reviews and photographs. The total number of exhibitions held by the Library has been 14 – on a variety of subjects. In 2010 (5769), in conjunction with the exhibition entitled "Treasures from the Chabad Library" (Exhibition 11), the Library published an album volume entitled "Treasures from the Chabad Library," featuring 154 special items from the Library’s archives. The present volume is a continuation of that volume "Treasures from the Chabad Library."
