Rav Yisroel Abuchatzeira, Baba Sali Zt”L
Issue (# 14) A Tzaddik, or righteous person makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. (Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach; Sefer Bereishis 7:1) Parshas Bo Kedushas Ha'Levi'im THE TEFILLIN OF THE MASTER OF THE WORLD You shall say it is a pesach offering to Hashem, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel... (Shemos 12:27) The holy Berditchever asks the following question in Kedushas Levi: Why is it that we call the yom tov that the Torah designated as “Chag HaMatzos,” the Festival of Unleavened Bread, by the name Pesach? Where does the Torah indicate that we might call this yom tov by the name Pesach? Any time the Torah mentions this yom tov, it is called “Chag HaMatzos.” He answered by explaining that it is written elsewhere, “Ani l’dodi v’dodi li — I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine” (Shir HaShirim 6:3). This teaches that we relate the praises of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, and He in turn praises us. So, too, we don tefillin, which contain the praises of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, and HaKadosh Baruch Hu dons His “tefillin,” in which the praise of Klal Yisrael is written. This will help us understand what is written in the Tanna D’Vei Eliyahu [regarding the praises of Klal Yisrael]. The Midrash there says, “It is a mitzvah to speak the praises of Yisrael, and Hashem Yisbarach gets great nachas and pleasure from this praise.” It seems to me, says the Kedushas Levi, that for this reason it says that it is forbidden to break one’s concentration on one’s tefillin while wearing them, that it is a mitzvah for a man to continuously be occupied with the mitzvah of tefillin. -

Vayigash 5776
Vayigash Vayigash, 7 Tevet 5776 “Sending Everyone Out” Harav Yosef Carmel Before Yosef revealed his identity to his brothers, he commanded the members of his court: “Send everyone out from before me” (Bereishit 45:1). We will try to explain why it was so important to Yosef to be alone with his brothers. The midrash (Sechel Tov, Bereishit 45) explains that this was done for the needs of modesty. As Yosef was going to prove his identity by showing he was circumcised, he did not want his assistants to see what was not necessary for them to see. The simple explanation, of course, is that Yosef wanted to protect his brothers from embarrassment at the awkward situation that was to occur, which would include no small amount of explicit or implicit rebuke. Rishonim put stress on the rebuke, including practical ramifications, stemming from it, other than the brothers’ simple embarrassment. The Ramban says that upon hearing of Yosef’s sale, the Egyptians would view the brothers as betrayers and would reason that if that is the way they treated their own brother, they certainly could not be trusted to live in Egypt and visit in its palace. The Da’at Zekeinim echoes this idea but also extends it, in showing how the matter of the sale was a bigger secret than we might assume. They claim that not only did Yaakov not know about the sale, but even Binyamin, who was not with his brothers at the time, did not know about it. In fact, they claim that Yosef broke his speech of revelation into two. -

The “Gayfication” of Tel Aviv: Investigating Israel's Pro-Gay Brand
UCLA Queer Cats Journal of LGBTQ Studies Title The “Gayfication” of Tel Aviv: Investigating Israel’s Pro-gay Brand Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0zv7m3m9 Journal Queer Cats Journal of LGBTQ Studies, 3(1) ISSN 2639-0256 Author Snellings, Satchie Publication Date 2019 DOI 10.5070/Q531045991 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The “Gayification” of Tel Aviv: Examining Israel’s Pro-Gay Brand Satchie Snellings New York University, Global Liberal Studies o someone informed on the modern world’s LGBT hot spots, the Tmention of Israeli homosexuality would most often connote images of a crowded pride parade or a rainbow themed beach party packed with same-sex couples and carefree attitudes. This picture, whether in a film, on a poster, or in reality, is one of Tel Aviv, the self-proclaimed “Gay Capital of the Middle East.”1 It is the most popular and well-known image of the Israeli LGBT community. The history of LGBT rights in Israel predates that of many Western nations, including the United States. Israeli gay rights ensure that all LGBT citizens receive many of the same rights to their heterosexual counterparts, albeit with less publicized shortfalls in terms of health, edu- cation and welfare laws. The greatest exception and the most significant encroachment of faith onto the legality of homosexuality is in the lack of legal gay marriage in Israel. Alongside their crafting of legal rights, the Israeli government has invested heavily in the coastal city of Tel Aviv, rebranding it as a globally recognized “gay destination.” This effort resulted in a fiscally beneficial gay tourism industry and a more positive international reputation for Israel. -
«Ich Habe Nur Als Mensch Gehandelt Und Wollte Ja Niemandem Weh Tun.»1
«Ich habe nur als Mensch gehandelt und wollte ja niemandem weh tun.»1 Ein Judenretter aus der Wehrmacht. Feldwebel Anton Schmid (1900–1942) Der aus Wien stammende Wehrmacht-Feldwebel Anton Schmid leis- tete 1941/42 Kriegsdienst in der deutsch besetzten Stadt Wilna in Litauen. Dort rettete er unter Einsatz seines Lebens mehr als 300 Juden vor der Ermordung. Seine Kraft zum Widerstand zog er aus seiner humanen Grundeinstellung und aus seinem christlichen Glauben. Er war ein Held der Humanität. Zeitgeschichte 73 Wolfram Wette Ein guter Mensch aus Wien Anton Schmid wurde am 9. Januar 1900 in Wien geboren. Dort verbrachte er auch die ersten vier Jahrzehnte seines Lebens. Sein Vater stammte aus dem Bezirk Nikolsburg in Mähren, ebenso seine Mutter. Der Vater war Bäckerge- selle. Die Mutter arbeitete als Hausfrau. Beide waren katholisch. Sie liessen ihren Sohn Anton katholisch taufen und erzogen ihn ebenso. Nach der Volksschule absolvierte er eine Lehre als Elektrotechniker. 1918 nahm er noch am Ersten Weltkrieg teil. Als 28-Jähriger eröffnete er in der Arbeitervor- stadt Wien-Brigittenau ein Elektrogeschäft, verkaufte und reparierte Radios und Fotoapparate. Viel mehr ist über die ersten 39 Lebensjahre des Anton Schmid nicht in Erfahrung zu bringen. Aus den wenigen Quellen ergibt sich das Bild eines heiteren Menschenfreundes, der mit seinen Nachbarn, auch den jüdischen, ein gutes Verhältnis hatte. Als der Antisemitismus in den 1930er Jahren auch in Österreich gewalttätig wurde und ein Nazi einer jüdischen Bäckereibesitze- rin in der Nachbarschaft die Scheiben ihres Ladens einschlug, leistete Anton Schmid spontan Hilfe und legte sich dazu noch mit der Polizei an. Nun wäre es allerdings falsch, aus diesen Aktivitäten Anton Schmids zu schliessen, dass er ein dezidierter Philosemit oder ein Anhänger des Zionis- mus gewesen wäre. -

Giovanni Mercurio da Correggio's Appearance in Italy as Seen through the Eyes of an Italian Jew Abstract The literary evidence describing the revelation of the strange Christian prophet Giovanni Mercurio da Correggio in the communities of Italy and France at the end of the fifteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth century has been treated with considerable interest by a number of scholars. W.B. McDaniel was the first to publish the existing evidence on this unusual figure, together with the text of a hermetic plague tract attributed to him with an English translation. These sources portray a divinely inspired prophet, together with his wife, five children, and his disciples, making his way as a mendicant through Italy and France. -

I am always eager to listen to the spiritual trials these people undergo and am amazed at and inspired by their courage. Often, as the conversation deepens, a common concern emerges that reveals a sense of uneasiness. For many Twelve Step participants, despite the success of their labors, the Twelve Steps somehow strike them as un-Jewish. For many participants, the spiritual element of the Twelve Steps has a decidedly Christian flavor. There may be a number of reasons for this, not the least of which is the fact that churches often provide the setting for meetings. -
