    JEWISH NATIONAL OEGANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES In the following list information is given respecting those Jewish organ- izations which have a national scope as distinguished from societies of a local character which are listed in the Directory of Local Jewish Organizations, volume 21, pp. 330-583, and in the Supplementary Directory in this volume, pp. 322-339. Eighty-two hodies are listed below. During the past year, the Eastern Council of Reform Rabbis disbanded, and the three organizations of Roumanian Jews were amalgamated. Over against this decrease are nine new national bodies, namely, the Aid Association for ex-Patients of Tubercular Sanatoriums, the Federation of Hungarian Jews, the Federation of Ukrainian Jews, the Hebrew Veterans of the Wars of the Republic, the Jewish Sabbath Alliance of America, The Leo N. Levi Memorial Hospital Association, Sigma Epsilon Delta Fraternity, the Union of Orthodox Women's Organization of America, and Young Israel of Amer- ica. There has therefore been a net increase of six in the number of organizations. No material change has occurred in the statistics of these organizations as given in volume 21. The classification used there is repeated below with the addition of the Landsmanpschaften—organizations of natives of various sections of Europe—and a miscellaneous group comprising the Jewish Sab- bath Alliance of American and the Hebrew Veterans of the Wars of the Republic. In the international group are the Alliance Israelite Unlverselle, the American Jewish Committee, and the American Jewish Congress ; the Zionist organizations have been grouped separately. In the educational class are the Council of Young Men's Hebrew and Kindred Associations, the Intercollegiate Menorah Association, the Jewish Chautauqua Society, and others of a similar character.

  • 1 Jews, Gentiles, and the Modern Egalitarian Ethos
    Jews, Gentiles, and the Modern Egalitarian Ethos: Some Tentative Thoughts David Berger The deep and systemic tension between contemporary egalitarianism and many authoritative Jewish texts about gentiles takes varying forms. Most Orthodox Jews remain untroubled by some aspects of this tension, understanding that Judaism’s affirmation of chosenness and hierarchy can inspire and ennoble without denigrating others. In other instances, affirmations of metaphysical differences between Jews and gentiles can take a form that makes many of us uncomfortable, but we have the legitimate option of regarding them as non-authoritative. Finally and most disturbing, there are positions affirmed by standard halakhic sources from the Talmud to the Shulhan Arukh that apparently stand in stark contrast to values taken for granted in the modern West and taught in other sections of the Torah itself. Let me begin with a few brief observations about the first two categories and proceed to somewhat more extended ruminations about the third. Critics ranging from medieval Christians to Mordecai Kaplan have directed withering fire at the doctrine of the chosenness of Israel. Nonetheless, if we examine an overarching pattern in the earliest chapters of the Torah, we discover, I believe, that this choice emerges in a universalist context. The famous statement in the Mishnah (Sanhedrin 4:5) that Adam was created singly so that no one would be able to say, “My father is greater than yours” underscores the universality of the original divine intent. While we can never know the purpose of creation, one plausible objective in light of the narrative in Genesis is the opportunity to actualize the values of justice and lovingkindness through the behavior of creatures who subordinate themselves to the will 1 of God.

  • Rabbi JB Soloveitchik's Between Philosophy and Halakhah Joel West
    Overinterpreting Maimonides: Rabbi J. B. Soloveitchik’s Between Philosophy and Halakhah Joel West Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself. (I contain multitudes). (Whitman 1892) The question of reading and understanding religious texts in the contexts which they were meant to be interpreted is crucial, since some of those religious texts which have survived and currently exist, and which we wish to interpret in a fair context, only exist in fragments or in translation. An example of the first kind of text is the Dead Sea scrolls of Qumran. An example of the second kind of text is the Book of Maccabees, which now only exists in translation. Of a third kind, we have the book of Judith, which may or may not be a translation of a text. We, as temporally displaced readers, must understand that the actual empirical production of these texts happened under various circumstances, so that the history and historicity of any religious texts, their pedigree if you would, becomes as important to the scholar, as the texts themselves. We can even state that in modernity, we may have similar issues of readership. To supply an example, while we know that Rabbi Soloveitchik’s graduate seminars on the topic of The Guide of the Perplexed (Maimonides 1963) did indeed take place at Yeshiva University in the late 1950’s, the relationship between those lectures and the document we have in hand today, Maimonides - Between Philosophy and Halakhah: Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik's Lectures on the Guide of the Perplexed at the Bernard Revel Graduate School (1950 - 51) (Kaplan 2016) is extremely important and must be examined closely.

This essay is an attempt to understand the developments It seemed to me to that what had changed radically was that have occurred within my lifetime in the community in the very texture of religious life and the entire religious which I live. The orthodoxy in which I, and other people atmosphere. Put differently, the nature of contemporary my age, were raised scarcely exists anymore. This change spirituality has undergone a transformation; the ground of is often described as "the swing to the Right." In one sense, religiosity had altered far more than the ideological this is an accurate description. Many practices, especially positions adopted thereon. It further appeared that this the new rigor in religious observance now current among change could best be studied in the haredi camp, for there the younger modern orthodox community, did indeed it takes its swiftest and most intense form. With this in originate in what is called "the Right." Yet, in another mind, I read widely in the literature of the haredim, sense, the description seems a misnomer. A generation listened to their burgeoning cassette literature, and spent ago, two things primarily separated modern Orthodoxy more time than was my wont in their neighborhoods.
