Consider the difference between the following: - A Hebrew name from the Tanach 1 eg Avraham, Yehonatan, Esther etc. - A Tanach name which has been shortened or adapted eg Avi, Yoni, Esti, Sari. - A Tanach name which is not normally used - eg Ogli, Mushi, Mupim, Chupim, Ard, Kislon. What about Adam? - The English translation of a Hebrew name eg Abraham, Jonathan, Deborah. - A non-biblical Hebrew name which is commonly used by observant Jews eg Zvi, Ari, Rina, Shira. - A non-Hebrew name which is only used by observant Jews eg Velvel, Mottel, Mendel, Raizel, Sprintze, Kalonimus Kalman. - A non-Jewish name which has been explicitly accepted by Jews - eg Alexander - A non-Jewish name which is commonly used by Jews and non-Jews eg Andrew, Jason, Susan, Lucy. - A non-Jewish name which has connotations relating to other religions eg Paul, Luke, Mary. - A non-Jewish name which is directly connected to another religion eg Chris, Mohammed, Jesus.

  • Initial Bibliography of Important Haggadah Literature,Marc B
    Initial Bibliography of Important Haggadah Literature Initial Bibliography of Important Haggadah Literature by Eliezer Brodt All are aware of the proliferation of Haggadahs. Every year more and more are published thus making it difficult to know which versions are worthwhile. Thus, in this post I intend to focus on a listing a small bibliographical list of seforim relating to the Haggadah that are, in my mind, some of the most important ones. In light of the fact I am going to select a few Haggadahs from the many, a caveat of sorts is in order. When discussing the “best” books it is good to keep in mind the comments of R. Eliyahu ben Avrohom Shlomo HaKohen (d. 1729) in hisShevet Mussar (ch. 28) who writes the following regarding affinities towards particular seforim: ותראה בני אדם שלומדים ענין אחד מדרוש או ממוסר בספר אחד ואין טועמים ממנו ואין נרשם הדבר בשכלם. והענין או דברי המוסר בעצמו לומדים אותו בספר אחר הבא בשינו לשון ובמלות שונות וטועמים ממנו ונרשם הענין בדעתם ומגדלים ומשבחים אותו ענין. ובהפך אם אחד למד ענין בספר שלמד זה וטעם הוא אינו טועם כטעם הספר שלא טעם חבירו. טעמו של דבר שכל הטועם מענין הספר שלמד יש לו איזה שורש לנשמתו בנשמת מחבר הספר כיון שהם משורש אחד לכן טועם לשונו ונרשמים הדברים בליבו. לא כן מספר שלמד ולא טעם אף על פי שהענין אחד משום שאין לנשמתו שום קורבה ואחיזה בנשמת המחבר אותו ספר. Basically, according each persons taste of a sefer could be different and the reason has to do with some sort of connection with the author of the sefer.

Accordingly, they are no different than other dissident movements throughout our history that have rejected these basic tenets. We therefore inform the public that in our considered opinion, “Open Orthodoxy” is not a form of Torah Judaism (Orthodoxy), and that any rabbinic ordination (which they call “semicha”) granted by any of its affiliated entities to their graduates does not confer upon them any rabbinic authority. May the Almighty have mercy on the remnants of His people and repair all breaches in the walls of the Torah, and may we be worthy to witness the raising of the glory of Hashem and His sacred Torah.

Rabbi Goldschmidt was appealing to the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah for their, and Agudath Israel’s, assistance in galvanizing support to fend off growing challenges to Jewish religious life in Europe. As current President of the Conference of European Rabbis, Rabbi Goldschmidt has been extremely active on all matters pertaining to the rights and well-being of the 1.5 million Jews – 90% of whom affiliate with Orthodoxy – living on the European continent. Rabbi Goldschmidt’s presentation to the senior rabbinic leaders focused on the dangers, in both short and long terms, of the recent decision of the European Union’s Court of Justice to allow member countries to ban the practice of ritual slaughter under Jewish and Muslim dietary laws. The case originated in Belgium, where nearly two years ago laws were passed in the Flanders and Wallonia regions that require stunning prior to slaughter, effectively prohibiting shechita. These laws placed a substantial burden on religious liberty and on Jewish life in Belgium, as well as on those dependent on Belgian shechita living in other affected European countries.
