  • The Two Objectives of the Institution of Marriage
    Rabbi Dr. Binyamin Lau is the Rosh Beit Midrash of Beit Morasha in Jerusalem and is the author of numerous articles and books. THE TWO OBJECTIVES OF THE INSTITUTION OF MAR R IAGE1 “For She is Your Companion, and the Wife of Your Covenant.” (Malakhi 2:14) Rabbi Dr. Binyamin Lau Introduction: Marriage According to Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik In the beginning of his article on marriage,2 Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik notes that there are two basic theories about the institution of marriage. The first expresses commitment to the welfare of the group outside the matrimonial union, the partners to the marriage placing themselves at the service of society. The second expresses commitment within the matrimonial union, a commit- ment rooted in the experience of the joining of two individuals thirsting for love and fellowship. One practical difference between the two theories relates to the place assigned to procreation. According to the first theory, having children is the central element upon which the entire structure of marriage rests. Remove that obligation from marriage, and the institution loses all its meaning. According to the second theory, the significance of marriage is not diminished by the absence of offspring. The very union of the wedded partners is itself the desired creation. In his typical manner,3 here too Rabbi Soloveitchik tries to uncover both of these motifs in Scripture. The command to “be fruitful and multiply” (Gen.1:28) expresses the essence and goal of the man created in the first chapter of the book of Genesis. Man’s obligation to procreate, which appears in chapter 1, is presented as part of man being God’s partner in the continuous process of creation.

  • The Story of Israel at 66 Through the Songs of Arik Einstein
    1 The Soundtrack of Israel: The Story of Israel at 66 through the songs of Arik Einstein Israel turns sixty six this year and a so much has happened in this seemingly short lifetime. Every war, every peace treaty, every struggle, and every accomplishment has left its impact on the ever changing character of the Jewish State. But throughout all of these ups and downs, all of the conflicts and all of the progress, there has been one voice that has consistently spoken for the Jewish nation, one voice that has represented Israelis for all 66 years and will continue to represent a people far into the future. That is the voice of Arik Einstein. Einstein’s music, referred to by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the “soundtrack of Israel,” transcended generations. Einstein often took the words of high-brow Israeli poets such as Chaim Nachman Bialik, Rahel, Nathan Alterman and Avraham Halfi and turned them into rock anthems sung by vibrant Israeli youth. Einstein captured the heart and soul of Israelis old and young. For every Zionist, peacenik, settler, hopeless romantic, nostalgia aficionado and child (or child at heart) in Israel, there is at least one Arik Einstein song that speaks to them. For every historic Israeli moment, there is an Arik Einstein song that represents the emotion of a united nation, or a shuttered people. Although fairly unknown outside of Israel, Arik Einstein was loved by all, and mourned by all after his sudden death in November of 2013, when tens of thousands of Israelis joined together to pay their respects to the iconic Sabra at a memorial service in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv.

  • Laws of Medical Treatment on Shabbat
    Laws of Medical Treatment on Shabbat Dov Karoll The permissibility of treatment of the ill on Shabbat varies from mandated and required even when numerous melachot would need to be violated, to permitted, provided it does not violate any melachot, to prohibited for the simple fact that it is medical treatment. What factors lead to such a great disparity? The primary, crucial distinction at work here is between medi- cal treatment that involves saving a life (piku’ach nefesh), which is permitted and even required, even if it means violating the normal rules of Shabbat, and providing medical treatment in other cases, regarding which the rules are more complex. When is medical treatment required even if it involves violating melachot? The Rambam is very clear on this issue:1 It is forbidden to delay in violating Shabbat for a person who is dangerously ill (choleh she-yesh bo sakkana), as it says [in the Gemara, based on a verse]: “[Regarding the laws of the Torah] ‘man shall fulfill them and live,’2 rather than fulfill them to die.”3 We learn from here that the laws of the Torah are not to 1 Hilchot Shabbat 2:3. This passage is also cited in Shemirat Shabbat Ke-Hilchatah at the beginning of his discussion of the laws of piku’ach nefesh on Shabbat (32:1). Translation mine. 2 Vayikra 18:5. 3 The verse is cited, and the law is derived, in the Gemara Yoma 85b, where this explanation of Rav Yehuda in the name of Shmuel is one of many sources provid- ed for the notion of saving lives overriding Shabbat observance (starting on 85a).

The new month begins at the moment that the moon is totally invisible from earth since it is between the earth and the sun. As the moon moves around its orbit, more and more of it becomes visible to us (waxing) until the full moon, when the moon is positioned ‘behind’ the earth so that the sun is fully shining on it. The moon then moves further around and the part visible to us shrinks (waning) until the moon is again totally invisible and the cycle begins again. In halacha, the moment of the ‘rebirth’ of the moon is called the ‘molad’. 1 1.
