  • Th-12Th Century Spain), Zion Halo Tishali
    Zionism, A-Zionism and Anti-Zionism, Week 1 R’ Mordechai Torczyner – [email protected] 1. Israel’s Scroll of Independence The State of Israel will be open to Jewish immigration and the ingathering of the exiles, working toward development of the land for the benefit of all of its inhabitants. It will be founded upon the principles of freedom, justice and peace, by the light of the visions of the prophets of Israel. It will maintain full, equal social and political rights for all her citizens, without distinction based on religion, race or sex. It will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture. It will guard the sacred places of all religions…. Religious Zionism לו .Rabbi Yitzhak Reines (19th century Lithuania), Or Chadash al Zion, pg .2 It was already envisioned regarding us from the start that the result of the pursuits and oppressions Israel would bear in its exile would be an improvement in its moral state. We now see that these pursuits have awakened and continue to awaken the Zionist ideal, at the least distancing the nation from assimilation, returning to the moral good. Thus there is no doubt that this Zionist movement is that which they prophesied from the start. 3. Deuteronomy 11:17-18 …And Gd will close the heavens and there will be no rain, and the land will not give its produce, and you will quickly be lost from upon the good land Gd is giving you. And you shall place these words upon your hearts and souls … 4. Midrash, Sifri Devarim 43 "And you will quickly be lost… and you shall place these words" – Even though I exile you from the land, be marked by your mitzvot, so that when you return they will not be new for you.

  • My Beijing Bucket List Article Text
    My Beijing Bucket List Article Text Global Spotlight: Jamie Fleishman My Beijing Bucket List What do you do with a bachelor’s in Chinese? For Jamie Fleishman, 23, the answer was obvious: move to Beijing and make his way in one of the world’s fastest growing economies. Arriving without a job, community or a place to call home, Jamie shares his story about how he found all of those—and more—where he least expected. When I moved to Beijing, I gave myself three main priorities: find a job, find friends and find a home. Finding a Jewish community barely crossed my mind. But I guess you could say it kind of found me. On my first night in Beijing, a college friend told me that a local Jewish school needed volunteers. So I stopped by and met all sorts of interesting people: students, parents, teachers—and an American couple running their own education company. Within a month, I was working for that very company. Just like that, Jewish community crossed the first item off my list. Find a job. Later, on my first Shabbat at a Beijing synagogue, I heard about Moishe House, a Federation-supported organization that helps young Jews build peer-based communities right in their own homes. I had never heard of Moishe House before, let alone known that a communal space for young Jews existed in Beijing. When Jonathan, a synagogue member and Moishe House resident, invited me over for Shabbat dinner, I met twenty new friends. There was item number two. Make friends.
