  • Potential Risk and Protective Factors for Eating Disorders in Haredi (Ultra‑Orthodox) Jewish Women
    Journal of Religion and Health (2019) 58:2161–2174 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10943-019-00854-2 PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPLORATION Potential Risk and Protective Factors for Eating Disorders in Haredi (ultra‑Orthodox) Jewish Women Rachel Bachner‑Melman1,2 · Ada H. Zohar1 Published online: 7 June 2019 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Little is known scientifcally about eating disorders (EDs) in the Haredi (Jewish ultra-Orthodox) community. This paper aims to describe Haredi culture, review available peer-reviewed research on EDs in the Haredi community and discuss pos- sible risk and protective factors for these disorders in a culturally informed way. A literature search for 2009–2019 yielded 180 references of which only nine were stud- ies on ED in the Haredi community. We describe these and use them as a basis for discussion of possible risk and protective factors for ED in Haredi women. Risk fac- tors may include the centrality of food, poverty, rigid dress codes, the importance of thinness for dating and marriage, high demands from women, selfessness and early marriage and high expectations from women. Protective factors may include faith, Jewish laws governing eating and food that encourage gratitude and mindful eat- ing, and body covering as part of modesty laws that discourage objectifcation. Ways of overcoming the current barriers to research in the Haredi community should be sought to advance ED prevention and treatment in this population. Keywords Eating disorders · ultra-Orthodox · Haredi · Risk and protective factors · Body image Introduction Eating disorders (EDs) are characterized by a persistent disturbance of eating-related behavior that leads to altered consumption of food and the impairment of physical health or psychosocial functioning (APA 2013).

WHY LITERAL SACRIFICES IN THE MILLENNIUM Tom's Perspectives by Thomas Ice A common objection to the consistent literal interpretation of Bible prophecy is found in Ezekiel’s Temple vision (Ezek. 40—48). Opponents argue that if this is a literal, future Temple, then it will require a return to the sacrificial system that Christ made obsolete since the prophet speaks of “atonement” (kiper) in Ezekiel 43:13, 27; 45:15, 17, 20. This is true! Critics believe this to be a blasphemous contradiction to the finished work of Christ as presented in Hebrews 10. Hank Hanegraaff says that I have “exacerbated the problem by stating that without animal sacrifices in the Millennium, Yahweh’s holiness would be defiled. That, for obvious reasons, is blasphemous.” He further says that such a view constitutes a return “to Old Covenant sacrifices.”1 “Is it heretical to believe that a Temple and sacrifices will once again exist,” ask John Schmitt and Carl Laney? “Ezekiel himself believed it was a reality and the future home of Messiah.

  • Mixed Multitudes: Nobody's Free 'Til Everybody's Free
    Mixed Multitudes: Nobody’s Free ‘til Everybody’s Free A Racial Justice Haggadah for Pesach Raul Ayala 1 This haggadah is an open-source resource, available for download at jfrej.org. Please download, share, and use 2 the haggadah widely and freely, but please cite if you are excerpting for your own use. Sarah Quinter Introduction by 2016 Racial Justice Seder Planning Committee: Graie Barasch-Hagans, Robin Blanc, Ruben Brosbe, Megan Madison, and Mackenzie Reynolds Chayav adam lirot et atzmo k’ilu hu yatza mimitzrayim. Each person must see themselves as though they came out of Mitzrayim Tonight we come together, as Jewish communities have for countless generations, to retell an ancient story. But while the story is old, we come together with a new purpose, to tell the story firmly planted in and committed to the reality that we are the mixed multitude. We tell this story today together as part of our collective fight for racial and economic justice, for collective liberation, and for the expanse of freedom. Tonight we celebrate the freedom of the Israelite slaves. And we imagine for ourselves today: What would the world look like if everyone was free? In the narrative of the haggadah, we wonder: what is the moment of freedom? Is freedom achieved? Are liberation and freedom the same? And: at whose expense does Israelite freedom come? Is the exodus of the mixed multitude from Mitzrayim a moment of collective liberation, involving Egyptians and other non-Israelites suffering under Pharaoh’s rule? Or does collective liberation also demand the liberation of Pharaoh from his hardened heart and the fortress of power around him? Our tradition tells us: “B’chol dor vador chayav adam lirot et atzmo k’ilu hu yatza mimitzrayim.

His piety is put to the test especially when he is in the company of other men in a situation where women are usually around-for example, in a wedding hall where women are dressed in elegant gowns, and all are gazing at the women, and he does not stare.

  • The Priestly Covenant
    1 THE PRIESTLY COVENANT THE SETTING OF THE PRIESTLY COVENANT Numbers begins with God commanding Moses to take a census of the people a little over a year after the Exodus The people have left Mt. Sinai and have begun their journey toward the promised land Numbers covers a period of time known as the wilderness wanderings, the time from when Israel departed Mt. Sinai to when they were about to enter the promised land (a period which lasted 38 years, 9 months and 10 days) The book is called “Numbers” because of the two censuses taken in Numbers 1 and 26 God told them how to arrange themselves as tribes around the tabernacle when camped (Num 2) The Levites were given instructions regarding their special role (Num 3, 4, 8) The people were given instructions regarding defilement and ceremonial uncleanness (Num 5) Instructions regarding the Nazirites were given (Num 6) The people complained after leaving Sinai about their lack of meat so God provided quail (Num 11) Miriam and Aaron rebelled against Moses (Num 12) The 12 spies went into the land and brought back a report which led the people to rebel (Num 13-14) Korah led a rebellion of 250 leaders against Moses (Num 16) Moses and Aaron were told they would not enter the promised land due to Moses’ disobedience (Num 20) God sent a plague amongst the camp for their complaining and then provided the bronze serpent; they defeated Sihon and Og (Num 21) Balak, king of Moab, heard of this great conquering hoard, and sought for Balaam, a seer, to bring a curse on them (Num 22-24) But Balaam blessed Israel 3 different times instead of cursed them 2 “Balaam has spoken God’s word, and God has said that the promises of heir, covenant and land will indeed be fulfilled.

  • Atonement Sacrifices (Part 1)
    SESSION 10 Atonement Sacrifices (Part 1) Summary and Goal The first three kinds of sacrifices described in Leviticus are the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the peace offering. The burnt offering was for the removal of the people’s guilt before God; the grain offering restored Israel to serve God and neighbor; and the peace offering was for reconciliation between God and His people. Because of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, we celebrate the removal of our guilt before God, the freedom to serve God on His mission, and the restoration of our relationship with God. Main Passages Leviticus 1:3-9 Leviticus 2:1-3 Leviticus 3:1-5 Session Outline 1. We need atonement to remove our guilt (Lev. 1:3-9; Heb. 9:12). 2. We need atonement to restore us to service (Lev. 2:1-3; John 12:24). 3. We need atonement to reconcile us to God (Lev. 3:1-5; Eph. 2:13). Theological Theme The burnt offering was for the removal of the people’s guilt before God; the grain offering restored Israel to serve God and neighbor; and the peace offering was for the reconciliation between God and His people. Christ Connection Because of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, we celebrate the removal of our guilt before God, the freedom to serve God on His mission, and the restoration of our relationship with God. Missional Application Because we have been freed from our guilt, God calls us to serve Him by serving others. Date of My Bible Study: ______________________ 115 © 2015 LifeWay Christian Resources.

In fact the Cthat is particularly necessary when there exists the possibility of evil inclination is extremely powerful in that which concerns the loss (Torat Kohanim 6:1).

    Performing the Idealized Judaism: Processes of Jewish Missionary Work at Franklin and Marshall College Ilana Meira Weiss Hirsh Independent Study for Departmental Honors in Anthropology Spring 2017 May 1, 2017 1 Introduction Sometime in March, I ventured into the Klehr Center for admittedly self-serving reasons - - in search of a vessel for the smoothie I intended to make as an afternoon snack. “Swag,” as it is colloquially known, consists of branded items, such as reusable mugs, cups, stickers, and other commodities. In this case, these items bear Hillel International’s logo. I caught Dean Lewis on his way out the door, and asked, nervously, if there were any cups left. “Of course! We’d love to have you promote us,” he told me, somewhat facetiously. I quickly wrote this phrase down when I returned home to make that smoothie. Previously, I had no understanding as to the motivations behind the seemingly endless “swag” that Hillel extends to its students. The table with these commodities features prominently when one first walks in, and students must pass it on their way to the dining room on Friday evenings. Clearly, students and administrators engage in this project of religious promotion at Hillel. The Jewish Engagement Fellows (JEFs) are tasked with finding unengaged Jewish students, and encouraging these individuals to attend Hillel. While Chabad may seemingly conform better to conceptualizations of missionary work, both organizations engage in distinct processes of missionization, as I will articulate in this thesis. When I first began formulating this project, it looked quite different than it does now. In Spring 2016, I envisioned an ethnographic inquiry into Jewish political thought and identity on Franklin and Marshall’s campus.
