  • The Function of the Synagogue in Leisure Culture
    Philosophy Study, January 2019, Vol. 9, No. 1, 1-15 doi: 10.17265/2159-5313/2019.01.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Function of the Synagogue in Leisure Culture Nitza Davidovitch Ariel University, Ariel, Israel The research literature on the topic of leisure indicates that leisure is perceived variably by different sectors and cultures. In Israel, affiliation with a certain religious group affects one’s perception of leisure. The uniqueness of the current study involves the function of the synagogue as an influential element in Jewish leisure culture. The synagogue is not only a place of prayer, rather also a place of convening and gathering where many varied activities take place, beyond prayer. In practice, over the generations, the synagogue served as a site of leisure activities and as a means of enhancing unity and communal life in Jewish society both in Israel and elsewhere. The current study examines differences in perceptions of the synagogue as a place of prayer and as a place of leisure by worshippers and others. The study included 387 participants, who defined themselves as secular, traditional, religious, or ultra-Orthodox. The research findings indicate no difference between secular and religious participants with regard to their perception of the synagogue as a place of leisure, namely, the synagogue is not perceived as a place of leisure rather as a place of prayer. Moreover, a negative association was found between religiosity and participant’s perception of the synagogue as a place of leisure; the more religious the participants the more they thought that the synagogue is utilized less as a place of leisure (and more as a place of prayer).

On several occasions they are listed amongst the organs of an animal that are offered on the altar.1 But on over a dozen other occasions they are described as organs with functions relating to cognition (which itself may be the reason why they play a role in sacrificial rites, due to the animals’ kidneys representing the parallel organ in man2); specifically, functioning as the mind, conscience, or the source of counsel/ free will: You are present in their mouths, but far from their kidneys. (Jer. 12:2) I bless God, Who has counseled me; my kidneys admonish me at night. (Ps. 16:7) On several occasions, the kidneys are mentioned in this context together with the heart: God of Hosts, just Judge, Who examines the kidneys and heart... (Jer. 11:20) I, God, probe the heart, and examine the kidneys, and repay each man according to his ways, with the fruit of his deeds.

    The Novelty of Orthodoxy Natan Slifkin Copyright © 2011 by Natan Slifkin Version 1.0 http://www.ZooTorah.com http://www.RationalistJudaism.com This monograph is adapted from an essay that was written as part of the requirements for entering the doctoral program at Bar-Ilan University. This document may be purchased at www.rationalistjudaism.com Other monographs available in this series: The Evolution of the Olive Shiluach HaKein: The Transformation of a Mitzvah The Sun’s Path at Night Messianic Wonders and Skeptical Rationalists Sod Hashem Liyreyav: The Expansion of a Useful Concept The Question of the Kidneys’ Counsel The Novelty of Orthodoxy Natan Slifkin Introduction The term “Orthodoxy,” as applied to a certain approach within Judaism, is somewhat of a misnomer. Throughout Jewish history, with the prominent exception of Maimonides, Judaism always rated devotion to halachic observance above allegiance to dogma.1 Nevertheless, the term was apparently borrowed from Christianity and ultimately used to describe Jews that, following the challenges of modernity, emancipation and the haskalah, remained loyal to traditional Jewish beliefs and practices. The Orthodox themselves viewed themselves as simply authentically continuing the ways of old. Originally, historians viewed them in the same way, considering them less interesting than more visibly new forms of Judaism such as the haskalah and Reform. But beginning with the work of Joseph Ben-David2 and Jacob Katz,3 it was realized in academic circles that all this was nothing more than a fiction, a romantic fantasy. The very act of being loyal to tradition in the face of the massive changes of the eighteenth century forced the creation of a new type of Judaism.

At the same time, the report strongly criticizes the Israeli authorities’ failure over the years to eradicate the phenomenon of illegal Palestinian building in the area between Maale Adumim and Jerusalem. While this stems from concern for the reaction of the international community, it is gradually constricting Israel’s options in an area so vital for its future integrity.Waving Hamas flags, mourners carry the coffin with the remains of Yehiya Ayyash during his funeral procession on January 6, 1996.
