  • Torah Musings Digests
    Torah Musings Digests July through October, 2014 as published on www.TorahMusings.com Unedited Introduction Started as the Hirhurim blog in 2004, Torah Musings relaunched in August 2013 as an online periodical focusing on multiple areas of interest, including: Textual Studies – halakhah (Jewish law),hashkafah (Jewish thought), history and parshanut (biblical commentary) that is clear, interesting, valuable to experienced students but understandable to those with limited Jewish education; News Stories and Commentary – thoughtful responses based on Jewish texts and traditions to issues of the day; Dialogue – differing views within the Orthodox camp, discussing with post and counter-post or in the responses. In July 2014, the website began sending weekly digests in PDF format. This booklet contains a collection of these weekly digests from July through October 2014, unrevised and in the same format originally sent. Currently, these PDF files flow automatically and sometimes misinterpret formatting commands. Therefore, there are occasional stray sentences that should be ignored. Please note that authorship of each essay is clear on the website but not always in the weekly digest. Unless otherwise indicated, assume that I wrote an essay. Many people contributed to this project. The editorial committee for the first year consisted of R. Micha Berger, R. Basil Herring and R. Moshe Schapiro, the last two continuing into the second year. These three scholars devoted many hours to improving and maintaining the website’s standards. I thank them for their hard work. During the period of this collection, Efraim Vaynman and David Roth served as editorial interns. I thank them both for their hard work.

    Weekly Internet Parsha Sheet Vayeira 5777 Weekly Parsha VAYEIRA To paraphrase a famous cliché – it is too bad that perspective is often wasted Rabbi Wein’s Weekly Blog on the old. Over the past holiday of Succot when I visited with a beloved cousin of mine spending the holiday with his children and grandchildren in Wars, family dysfunction, and the danger of future extinction are the Jerusalem, I realized and remarked that I now have seen seven generations in challenges that confront our father Avraham and our mother Sarah in our family in my lifetime! the narrative that dominates this week’s Torah reading. In this era, Growing up in the Chicago of my childhood, when most of my peers never correcting the past and editing personal biographies to make people’s knew their grandparents, I never imagined I would ever be able to achieve such lives appear perfect, serene and smooth, is especially true. This a feat. To a certain extent, due to the grace of God and the unbelievable methodology attempts to make the subject character the model and advances in health care in our times, there is a tendency to accept and expect to prototype for others to admire and perhaps even imitate. see generations in one’s lifetime as a matter of course. And of course to think that way is not only a measure of ingratitude but it is a deprivation of the joy Who wants to have a life of troubles, frustrations, domestic strife and that otherwise is such a rare commodity in our lives.

  • Miracles, Media, Mezuzot: Storytelling Among Chabad Hasidim
    religions Article Miracles, Media, Mezuzot: Storytelling among Chabad Hasidim Simon Dein Academic Department of Psychiatry, University College London, Charles Bell House, 67-73 Riding House St, London W1W 7JE, UK; [email protected] Academic Editor: Malachi Hacohen Received: 9 May 2016; Accepted: 31 August 2016; Published: 13 September 2016 Abstract: In 1994 the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Schneerson, died leaving no successor. His group split into two groups: messianists who maintained that the Rebbe had not died and was Moshiach, the Jewish Messiah, and the non messianists who agreed that the Rebbe had died. This paper focuses upon a prominent Chabad practice; the role of storytelling. I propose the question, “Whose interests do these stories serve?” Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Lubavitch, I present a number of narratives pertaining to the Rebbe’s miraculous feats. Following his death, stories surrounding the Lubavitcher Rebbe not only bolster his “charisma” but lead to a sense of his continuing presence. These stories are produced predominantly by the messianic faction of Lubavitch and following his death are published regularly on messianic websites. Keywords: Rebbe; Lubavitch; narrative; miracle 1. Introduction: Storytelling Folklorists and anthropologists have a longstanding interest in collecting personal stories, the analysis of which deepens their understanding of culture. Anthropologist Thomas Eriksen [1] underscores the fact that: In contemporary anthropology, pleas for narrative have almost become a cliché. Our journals regularly bring theoretical discussions about the centrality of narrative, about narrative as a key to understanding life, about the ways in which the great narratives of history mirror the small narratives of personal lives, and so on; but we rarely get on with actually telling stories.

    The Paradigm of Avraham Avinu / Marriages Are Dynamic Torah.org Relationships The Judaism Site https://torah.org/torah-portion/ravfrand-5777-vayera/ THE PARADIGM OF AVRAHAM AVINU / MARRIAGES ARE DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIPS by Rabbi Yissocher Frand These divrei Torah were adapted from the hashkafa portion of Rabbi Yissocher Frand's Commuter Chavrusah Tapes on the weekly portion: #962 – Hard Cheese: Hot Dog After Pizza - Is There a Problem? Good Shabbos! The Paradigm of Avraham Avinu I would like to share two stories that are both related to Parshas Vayera. The first is an article written by a first lieutenant in the Israeli Army who participated in the "Second Lebanon War" (July-August 2006): "I remember the two weeks of near face to face combat, the confused orders, and insufficient combat gear; the intense hunger, physical and emotional exhaustion, and toughest of all the self- imposed silence and disassociation without our surroundings." (If you recall, this war was not very well planned. Soldiers were sent into battle without the right equipment. They did not even have proper food rations. By most accounts, it was a "failure" for the Israeli army.) "Our attitude was 'now is not the right time to complain but when it is all over – when the air raid sirens stop and we are out of these fatigues – we can talk and the truth will be known.' When the news came that we were receiving a day off, our hearts soared. We suffered so much stress and hardship; where would we go? How should we take full advantage of this gift? Rumors began to circulate that we were going to some school in Migdal HaEmek.

  • March of the Living in Poland & Independence Day in Israel
    March of the Living in Poland & Independence Day in Israel 29 APRIL TO 10 MAY, 2019 29 APRIL TO 10 MAY, 2019 From Poland to Israel: an experience both tragic and triumphant Dear friends, For the Jewish people, the Holocaust and founding of the State of Israel are the defining events of the 20th century. The remarkable saga, encompassing near-destruction and the independence of the Jewish nation in less than a decade, is a narrative unprecedented in the annals of human history. To commemorate these events, we will embark on a journey both heartbreaking and extraordinary. From Krakow, site of a once-thriving Jewish community, to Auschwitz, where so much was lost, and on to Israel, an ancient homeland reborn, we will experience the tragic and triumphant. I envision our delegation as a two-fold mission. One, it is essential to honor the memory of the six million, not only through personal reflection, but also by conveying the enormity of the Holocaust to the next generation. We should not only bear witness; we must educate as well. Two, as Israel Bonds leaders, we are obligated to secure the future of the world’s only Jewish state, and strive for its continued success. The words “Never again” are not a slogan – they are a call to action. Seventy-one years ago, many believed Israel’s rebirth would be short-lived. Today, Israel is a proud nation revolutionizing science and technology, surmounting every challenge, and even sending a spacecraft to the moon. So welcome to the start of a memorable voyage.
