  • The 15Th of Shevat on the Jewish Calendar—Celebrated This Year on Monday, February 10, 2020—Is the Day That Marks the Beginning of a “New Year” for Trees
    Vol. 67 Issue 2 February 2020 Shevat/Adar [email protected] Synagogue Office:732-257-1523 The 15th of Shevat on the Jewish calendar—celebrated this year on Monday, February 10, 2020—is the day that marks the beginning of a “new year” for trees. Commonly known as Tu Bishvat, this day marks the season in which the earliest-blooming trees in the Land of Israel emerge from their winter sleep and begin a new fruit-bearing cycle. We mark the 15th of Shevat by eating fruit, particularly from the kinds that are singled out by the Torah in its praise of the bounty of the Holy Land: grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates. On this day we remember that “man is a tree of the field” (Deuteronomy 20:19), and reflect on the lessons we can derive from our botanical analogue. According to Biblical law, there is a seven year agricultural cycle, concluding with the Sabbatical year. When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, on years one, two, four and five of this cycle, farmers were required to separate a tenth of their produce and eat it in Jerusalem. This tithe is called Maaser Sheni, the Second Tithe, because it is in addition to the (two percent which must be given to the Kohain, and the) ten percent which is given to the Levite. On the third and sixth years of the cycle, instead of the owners eating the Maaser Sheni in Jerusalem, they gave this second tithe to the poor, who were permitted to consume it wherever they wished.

  • Individual and Society, Nationalism and Universalism in the Religious-Zionist Thought of Rabbi Moshe Avigdor Amiel and Rabbi Ben-Zion Meir Hai Uziel
    INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIETY, NATIONALISM AND UNIVERSALISM IN THE RELIGIOUS-ZIONIST THOUGHT OF RABBI MOSHE AVIGDOR AMIEL AND RABBI BEN-ZION MEIR HAI UZIEL Moshe Hellinger Rabbi Amiel and Rabbi Uziel were outstanding Torah schol ars of the twentieth century identified with religious Zionism. Both were universalistic thinkers. Yet while Rabbi Uziel empha sized humanistic Jewish nationalism as a part of the universalistic whole, Rabbi Amiel saw the combination between spiritual indi vidualism and universalism as the core identity, according to the Torah. Rabbi Amiel was a strong critic of all the ideological trends of his day: capitalism and socialism, secular Zionism, and anti-Zionism. Even his own movement fell under his harsh judg ment. In contrast, Rabbi UzieVs important contribution was his au positive outlook on issues such as the status of women, the thorityof the Israeli secular parliament, and the like. Their vision as was of a religious Zionism that sees deep commitment to Torah non a basis for creating a just society for everyone, Jews and Jews alike. Jewish Political Studies Review 15:1-2 (Spring 2003) 61 62 Moshe Hellinger Introduction The study of religious-Zionist thought used to be primarily concerned with the teachings of its major thinkers or currents (R. Reines, R. A. Kook, R. Joseph Dov Soloveitchik, the religious kibbutz, and so forth). Recently there has been a marked tendency to engage in a panoramic examination of the main features of re ligious-Zionist thought as a whole.1 At the heart of this essay is a comparative analysis of the teachings of two outstanding person alities from among the thinkers and leaders of religious Zionism in the first half of the twentieth century: R.

    1 Cohen Menachem (“Churchill”) (of blessed memory) Born in 1924 in Tel Aviv Joined the Palmach in 1942 Joined the Palyam in 1943 Died 4 November 1981 Written by: Avigail Cohen This is the Way it Was Menachem was born in the spring of 1924 in Tel Aviv. His mother, Yefiah Kles, was from Rishon Letzion and his father, Yehuda Cohen, had served in the Jewish Legion in World War I. In 1934 the men of the Jewish Legion founded Moshav Avichail and Menachem, his sister, and parents went there to live. In 1938, when he was 14, Menachem received field training with light weapons within the framework of the regional branch of the Hagana. He served in communications and in guard duty at the Moshav, as this was the beginning of the 1936-39 riots. In 1942 he joined “C” Company of the Palmach which was camped at Kibbutz Eilon and Kibbutz Hanita. He participated in a course for squad leaders and at the end of the same year volunteered for the first nautical course of the Palmach at Caesarea. This course lasted for several months and was difficult because it was winter and the weather was terrible. As a graduate of the course he became a small boat commander and handler experienced in all kinds of weather. He then returned to “C” Company and continued his squad leaders' course for a year. With that behind him he returned to Caesarea and became an instructor for the 4 th course, in which various platoons of the Palmach participated. In 1943, when the Naval Company of the Palmach was established, Menachem found his niche.
