    5779 - dbhbn ovrct [email protected] 1 sxc HALACHIC AND HASHKAFIC ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY 132 - HALACHA AND KABBALA - PART 2 OU ISRAEL CENTER - SUMMER 2019 • In Part 1 we saw how the early Acharonim began to assimilate the Zohar into the halachic process. The positions included: • R’ Elyahu Mizrachi (15C Turkey) - kabbalistic concepts are highly esoteric and, although special individuals are free to adopt them, ordinary people are not required to follow them. • Radvaz (16C Egypt) - kabbalistic practices are acceptable as chumrot, but not where they contradict the Talmud. • Beit Yosef (16C Eretz Yisrael) - incorporates selected halachot of the Zohar into the mainstream halacha. Where the Zohar conflicts with Talmud, the Talmud prevails. However, where the Zohar conflicts with the post-talmudic poskim, the Zohar prevails. • The Rema (16C Poland) - disagrees with the Beit Yosef on the latter point. According to the Rema, the Zohar cannot even override the post-talmudic poskim. • The Maharshal (16C Poland) - is concerned in many cases about the problems of integrating kabbala into halacha. • The Maseit Binyamin (17C Poland) - considers that the Zohar outweighs all the post-Talmudic poskim put together! • R. Ya’akov Emden (18C Germany) - whilst skeptical about the origins of every word of the Zohar, maintains that, although in any dispute between the Zohar and the Bavli we follow the Bavli, where the Bavli is unclear and subject to many interpretations and the Zohar can clarify the position, we are to look to the Zohar. The Zohar should not be rejected in halacha, provided it does not directly contradict the Bavli and we should try wherever possible to reconcile the Zohar and the Bavli.

  • Hasidic Judaism - Wikipedia, the Freevisited Encyclopedi Ona 1/6/2015 Page 1 of 19
    Hasidic Judaism - Wikipedia, the freevisited encyclopedi ona 1/6/2015 Page 1 of 19 Hasidic Judaism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sephardic pronunciation: [ħasiˈdut]; Ashkenazic , תודיסח :Hasidic Judaism (from the Hebrew pronunciation: [χaˈsidus]), meaning "piety" (or "loving-kindness"), is a branch of Orthodox Judaism that promotes spirituality through the popularization and internalization of Jewish mysticism as the fundamental aspect of the faith. It was founded in 18th-century Eastern Europe by Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov as a reaction against overly legalistic Judaism. His example began the characteristic veneration of leadership in Hasidism as embodiments and intercessors of Divinity for the followers. [1] Contrary to this, Hasidic teachings cherished the sincerity and concealed holiness of the unlettered common folk, and their equality with the scholarly elite. The emphasis on the Immanent Divine presence in everything gave new value to prayer and deeds of kindness, alongside rabbinical supremacy of study, and replaced historical mystical (kabbalistic) and ethical (musar) asceticism and admonishment with Simcha, encouragement, and daily fervor.[2] Hasidism comprises part of contemporary Haredi Judaism, alongside the previous Talmudic Lithuanian-Yeshiva approach and the Sephardi and Mizrahi traditions. Its charismatic mysticism has inspired non-Orthodox Neo-Hasidic thinkers and influenced wider modern Jewish denominations, while its scholarly thought has interested contemporary academic study. Each Hasidic Jews praying in the Hasidic dynasty follows its own principles; thus, Hasidic Judaism is not one movement but a synagogue on Yom Kippur, by collection of separate groups with some commonality. There are approximately 30 larger Hasidic Maurycy Gottlieb groups, and several hundred smaller groups. Though there is no one version of Hasidism, individual Hasidic groups often share with each other underlying philosophy, worship practices, dress (borrowed from local cultures), and songs (borrowed from local cultures).

  • Halakhic Guide to Pesach Preparations (When Erev Pesach Falls on Shabbat)
    Halakhic Guide to Pesach Preparations (when Erev Pesach falls on Shabbat) When Passover begins on Motzei Shabbat (Saturday night) as it does this year, it impacts how we prepare for the holiday in a number of ways. Those changes are detailed within this guide to preparing for Pesach. Ta`anis Bechoros/Fast of the First Born The fast, which is usually observed by first born sons on Erev Pesach, is pushed back to Thursday when Erev Pesach falls on Shabbat. This year the fast is observed on March 25, from 5:37am and until 7:48pm. Jack Shapiro will be making a siyyum on Zoom at 7:30am to celebrating the completion of a tractate of the Talmud. Use this link to register: www.baisabe.com/form/siyyum. Firstborn sons who attend the Zoom siyyum are exempt from fasting for the rest of the day. Bedikat Chametz/The Search for Chametz Normally we search for chametz the night before Passover. This year, we search our homes for chametz on the evening of Thursday, March 25th with a bracha after 7:58pm. After the search the normal nullification (bittul) is recited. (Koren Nusach Sefard Siddur p. 790). This bittul should be recited in a language you understand, which means even if you normally pray in Hebrew, you should probably recite the English on p. 790, rather than the Aramaic on p. 791. Bi’ur Chametz/Burning of the Chametz We can burn the chametz on Friday, March 26th until 12:10pm. The reason for this custom is so that in future years one does not get confused about the proper time to burn chametz.

  • Daily Prayer: General
    PRAYER POINTS DAILY PRAYER: GENERAL Prayer is our opportunity to speak directly to God. ***see editor’s note at end by Rabbi Shraga Simmons Prayer is a daily obligation for every Jew, as it says: "You shall serve the Lord your God with all your heart."1 The Talmud explains: "What is service of the heart? That is prayer."2 Further, when an individual or a community faces an impending danger, the Torah requires them to call out to God in prayer.3 This obligation applies to Jews and non – Jews alike.4,5 Through prayer, mortal man has the opportunity to speak directly to the Creator of the Universe and express his needs. God listens and responds to our prayers.6 Judaism asserts that all our prayers should be directed to God exclusively. We do not pray to angels. We do not pray to deceased people. Only God can respond to our entreaties.7 There are three primary prayer services each day: • Shacharit, the morning prayers • Mincha, the afternoon prayers • Ma'ariv, the evening prayers 1 According to tradition, these three prayers were instituted by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, respectively.8 The three daily prayers also correspond to the three main daily services in the Holy Temple: the morning Tamid offering, the afternoon Tamid offering, and the sacrificial parts that burned on the altar every evening.9 Thus one who prays is likened to having brought an offering on the altar.10 By engaging in prayer during various times of the day, we make God part of every aspect of our lives.11 Newcomers to the prayer service can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the bulk of daily prayers.
