  • How Can We Prove the Divine Nature of the Torah?
    How can we prove the divine nature of the Torah? God gifted us the Torah, charging us with a large number of duties and responsibilities. All branches of Orthodox Judaism agree that the Torah is divine, given to us at Har Sinai. How do we know this; is there any proof for this? The main source for the Revelation is in Parshas Yisro. In 19:10-1 it says Hashem said to Moshe 'Go to the people and sanctify them, today and tomorrow, and they shall wash their garments (and they should go to the mikveh - this is one of the sources for mikveh as part of conversion). Let them be prepared for the third day because on that day God will come down and appear before the entire people. In 19:17 Moshe brought the people forth from the camp to greet God, and they stood at the bottom of the mountain (perhaps under the mountain). God is making His presence felt in very physical ways with spectacular phenomenon. In 19:19 there is a tremendously loud sound of a shofar. This is followed by the giving of the Ten Commandments. So God Himself comes down to the mountain for the entire people to hear Him - this is the only time an entire nation was able to encounter God in such an open manner. There were 2-3 million people who were involved with this, experiencing this Revelation. The Torah revisits this in Devarim 4:7-10 For which is a great nation that has a God Who is close to it, as is Hashem, our God, whenever we call to Him? And which is a great nation that has righteous decrees and ordinances, such as this entire Torah that I place before you this day? Moshe warns the people to guard their lives carefully and not to forget the things that they saw with their own eyes at Sinai; they must pass this down to their children and their children.

  • HOD 2007New 6.Indd
    Ten-year-old Moshiko was saved by an organ transplant made possible by the Halachic Organ Donor Society Saving Lives n 1995, 20-year-old American Alisa Flatow died of her injuries following a terrorist Iattack in Israel. After consulting with Rabbi Moshe Tendler, a renowned Orthodox rabbi and an expert in biomedical ethics, her parents made the emotionally difficult but courageous decision to donate her organs for transplantation saving many lives. Alisa Flatow This highly publicized case was followed by organ donations from other Orthodox Jews, including J.J. Greenberg, Yoni Jesner and Tani Goodman. Nonetheless, a widespread misconception persists among Jews of all denominations, including secular Jews, that traditional Jewish law (i.e. Halacha) J.J. Greenberg categorically prohibits organ donation. As a result of this misunderstanding, Jews have one of the lowest organ donation rates of any ethnic group. Only 8 percent of Israel’s population are registered organ donors, as compared to 35 percent of the population in most Western countries. Yoni Jesner Meanwhile, the demand for organ transplants continues to increase. In the past decade, the number of Americans waiting for organs has grown from 27,000 to more than 100,000 today. More than 100 Israelis and 6,000 Americans die every year waiting for Tani Goodman an organ transplant. 2 www.hods.org www.hods.org 3 Halachic Organ Donor Society (Halacha is Hebrew for Jewish law; halachic is the adjective) The HOD* Society saves lives by increasing organ donation from Jews to the general population (including non-Jews). It does this by educating Jews about the medical and halachic issues concerning organ donation so their decision about being an organ donor will be based on a complete understanding of the issue.

  • Tanya Sources.Pdf
    The Way to the Tree of Life Jewish practice entails fulfilling many laws. Our diet is limited, our days to work are defined, and every aspect of life has governing directives. Is observance of all the laws easy? Is a perfectly righteous life close to our heart and near to our limbs? A righteous life seems to be an impossible goal! However, in the Torah, our great teacher Moshe, Moses, declared that perfect fulfillment of all religious law is very near and easy for each of us. Every word of the Torah rings true in every generation. Lesson one explores how the Tanya resolved these questions. It will shine a light on the infinite strength that is latent in each Jewish soul. When that unending holy desire emerges, observance becomes easy. Lesson One: The Infinite Strength of the Jewish Soul The title page of the Tanya states: A Collection of Teachings ספר PART ONE לקוטי אמרים חלק ראשון Titled הנקרא בשם The Book of the Beinonim ספר של בינונים Compiled from sacred books and Heavenly מלוקט מפי ספרים ומפי סופרים קדושי עליון נ״ע teachers, whose souls are in paradise; based מיוסד על פסוק כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאד בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו upon the verse, “For this matter is very near to לבאר היטב איך הוא קרוב מאד בדרך ארוכה וקצרה ”;you, it is in your mouth and heart to fulfill it בעזה״י and explaining clearly how, in both a long and short way, it is exceedingly near, with the aid of the Holy One, blessed be He. "1 of "393 The Way to the Tree of Life From the outset of his work therefore Rav Shneur Zalman made plain that the Tanya is a guide for those he called “beinonim.” Beinonim, derived from the Hebrew bein, which means “between,” are individuals who are in the middle, neither paragons of virtue, tzadikim, nor sinners, rishoim.
