Our goalis – until we get there ourselves – to bring Torat Yisrael closer toAmerica. Pars hat Yiitro Rav Yehoshua Mordechaii Schmiidt Rav of the Yiishuv Shaveii Shomron and Rosh Yeshiiva at the Yeshiivat HaHesder Shaveii Shomron, Israell Transllated by RZA-Aryeh Fellllow Yehudiith Dashevsky This Shabbatwe are going to read and accept the Torah. Hakadosh Baruch Hu leads the Jewsout of Egypt, but before He gives them the Torah, He gives them chizuk, tellingthem, “You will be for Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” What doesthis mean? Why does the giving of the Torah require such a preface? We mustremember – the nation of Israel has just come out of exile. For a nationleaving exile to transform into a holy nation, it must undergo a certainprocess. In last week’s Torah portion, G-d commands Moshe to tell the Jews thatthey will be leaving with great wealth. This is “so that the tzaddik, Avraham,would not say, He fulfilled ‘and they will subjugate them and afflict them’ butnot ‘and afterwards they will leave with great wealth’” (Brachot 9). Thatwealth was given to them as part of the process of turning the nation of slavesinto the nation of priests. A person who has the mindset of a slave does notcarry himself as a normal, upstanding person, and therefore cannot serve G-d. InKiddushin 12 and in Rambam Hilchot Mechira Chapter 16, it is said that a personwho bought a slave and then realized that the slave has negative charactertraits – for example, he is a liar or a thief – still retains ownership of theslave. This is because it is to be expected – the experience of slavery affectsa man’s character, may make him lowly. A slave does not have personhood in thefull sense, he is without strength, independence, backbone… And so, G-d begins to build up the nation of slaves’ backbone. He doesso first through the Ten Plagues. And then, by giving them wealth. And then –by telling them that they are a nation of priests, a holy nation. He believesin them. One of the things we need to ingrain in our children is our belief intheir abilities. That they are holy, part of a holy people. We need totell them that they are good and sweet and righteous, even if they are unrulyor disobedient.

  • Vertientes Del Judaismo #3
    CLASES DE JUDAISMO VERTIENTES DEL JUDAISMO #3 Por: Eliyahu BaYonah Director Shalom Haverim Org New York Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • La Ortodoxia moderna comprende un espectro bastante amplio de movimientos, cada extracción toma varias filosofías aunque relacionados distintamente, que en alguna combinación han proporcionado la base para todas las variaciones del movimiento de hoy en día. • En general, la ortodoxia moderna sostiene que la ley judía es normativa y vinculante, y concede al mismo tiempo un valor positivo para la interacción con la sociedad contemporánea. Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • En este punto de vista, el judaísmo ortodoxo puede "ser enriquecido" por su intersección con la modernidad. • Además, "la sociedad moderna crea oportunidades para ser ciudadanos productivos que participan en la obra divina de la transformación del mundo en beneficio de la humanidad". • Al mismo tiempo, con el fin de preservar la integridad de la Halajá, cualquier área de “fuerte inconsistencia y conflicto" entre la Torá y la cultura moderna debe ser evitada. La ortodoxia moderna, además, asigna un papel central al "Pueblo de Israel " Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • La ortodoxia moderna, como una corriente del judaísmo ortodoxo representado por instituciones como el Consejo Nacional para la Juventud Israel, en Estados Unidos, es pro-sionista y por lo tanto da un estatus nacional, así como religioso, de mucha importancia en el Estado de Israel, y sus afiliados que son, por lo general, sionistas en la orientación. • También practica la implicación con Judíos no ortodoxos que se extiende más allá de "extensión (kiruv)" a las relaciones institucionales y la cooperación continua, visto como Torá Umaddá.
