  • Orthodoxy in American Jewish Life1
    ORTHODOXY IN AMERICAN JEWISH LIFE1 by CHARLES S. LIEBMAN INTRODUCTION • DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ORTHODOXY • EARLY ORTHODOX COMMUNITY • UNCOMMITTED ORTHODOX • COM- MITTED ORTHODOX • MODERN ORTHODOX • SECTARIANS • LEAD- ERSHIP • DIRECTIONS AND TENDENCIES • APPENDLX: YESHIVOT PROVIDING INTENSIVE TALMUDIC STUDY A HIS ESSAY is an effort to describe the communal aspects and institutional forms of Orthodox Judaism in the United States. For the most part, it ignores the doctrines, faith, and practices of Orthodox Jews, and barely touches upon synagogue hie, which is the most meaningful expression of American Orthodoxy. It is hoped that the reader will find here some appreciation of the vitality of American Orthodoxy. Earlier predictions of the demise of 11 am indebted to many people who assisted me in making this essay possible. More than 40, active in a variety of Orthodox organizations, gave freely of their time for extended discussions and interviews and many lay leaders and rabbis throughout the United States responded to a mail questionnaire. A number of people read a draft of this paper. I would be remiss if I did not mention a few by name, at the same time exonerating them of any responsibility for errors of fact or for my own judgments and interpretations. The section on modern Orthodoxy was read by Rabbi Emanuel Rackman. The sections beginning with the sectarian Orthodox to the conclusion of the paper were read by Rabbi Nathan Bulman. Criticism and comments on the entire paper were forthcoming from Rabbi Aaron Lichtenstein, Dr. Marshall Ski are, and Victor Geller, without whose assistance the section on the number of Orthodox Jews could not have been written.

  • Rav Kook and Dr. Revel: a Shared Vision for a Central Universal Yeshiva?
    NATAN OPHIR Rav Kook and Dr. Revel: A Shared Vision for a Central Universal Yeshiva? his article examines a little known episode in the history of two famous schools, Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav-Central Universal TYeshiva (CUY) 1 and the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS). Specifically, it examines several exchanges between R. Abraham Isaac Kook and R. Dr. Bernard Revel. Their discussion began in 1918, continued when R. Kook visited New York in 1924, and culminated in a written proposal by Dr. Revel on May 17, 1927. The proposal would have meant uniting what we now call the Torah u- Madda 2 ideology developed in New York with Torat Ere z. Yisrael of Jerusalem. There are lacunae in this story that leave room for speculation. Nevertheless, the main plot will, I believe, be of special interest to read - ers of this journal, and may give rise to interesting observations about the protagonists. Besides adding a chapter to the history of Torah u- Madda in the twentieth century, this story provides a glimpse into a rel - atively unknown phase in the early development of both Yeshiva College and CUY. NATAN OPHIR (O FFENBACHER ) directs Meorot, a center in Jerusalem for Jewish Meditation and Neuro-Psychology. An alumnus of Yeshiva College, he received ordination from Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav and a Ph.D in Jewish Philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he served as rabbi of the campus for sixteen years. He has published articles in Daat , Tehumin , and other scholarly journals. 188 The Torah u-Madda Journal (15/2008-09) Natan Ophir 189 R.

  • “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: the Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920S
    “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: The Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920s Arthur S. Meyers” In Sinclair Lewis’s fictional Zenith, Ohio, in 1920, George Babbitt complained to his wife that their daughter and her beau were “trudging off to lectures by authors and Hindu philosophers and Swedish lieutenants.” Lewis was describing an actual phenomenon taking place in several hundred industrial cities, including at least four in Indiana. The Open Forum lecture movement was remarkable: a locally planned, non-partisan, non-sectarian initiative in public learning, reaching thousands of people around the country. Expanding beyond the Chautauqua lecture movement in topics and locale, it brought a wide range of people together to discuss the vital concerns and intellectual advances of the day and to consider the core beliefs and values in their lives.’ Although the Open Forum has faded from history, it was a model of social commitment, public learning, and freedom of speech that took root not only in metropolitan areas but also in small cities in the Midwest. The story of the movement in Terre Haute and Hammond in the 1920s provides fresh insight into Indiana’s history, revealing a previously unknown interest in the ideas of liberal reformers and support for public learning, and documenting the social activism of a minister and rabbi. It also suggests that other smaller urban communities of the Midwest were less provincial and more politically varied than most accounts of the era suggest. The Open Forum is best understood in both religious and political terms.

  • A Journal of Jewish Responsibility Control Us
    we dare not tolerate conditions which brutalize and Sh'ma dehumanize. But humanness means the power to control conditions rather than letting conditions a journal of Jewish responsibility control us. Humanness demands individual responsibility 1/20, NOVEMBER 19,1971 The truth of the matter is that millions upon mil- lions of men, women, and children of all races and creeds have suffered privation, prejudice, pogroms, and poverty. There are countless people who faced the same conditions that were the lot of those who are convicted criminals. These include millions of black people. They did not end up as felons and ac- cused murderers—but as productive, law-abiding members of our society. The difference between those who allow conditions to make them criminals and those who are able to overcome the conditions under which they live must lie—at least in part—in Thoughts about thoughts about attica-1 the inner assumption of responsibility. The lack of such sense leads to criminality and self-destruction. Seymour Siegel The thrust of the argument of many who write and speak on the matter is that if the conditions are bad The prisons and the prisoners of our country have enough, then what happens, however heinous, is to suddenly become one of the prime challenges to our be attributed to the deficiencies of our society consciences. Some have known for a long time that rather than to deficiencies of will and character, lt our correctional institutions have not corrected and seems to me that this attitude represents the ulti- that our prisons were schools for crime.

HUNTINGTON is the Eaton Professor of the Science of Government and Director of the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University. His theory was published first in a paper titled Clash of Civilizations in 1993. He later expanded upon his theory in a book titled The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. My thesis challenges Huntington’s oversight in not classifying a Jewish civilization, which he justifies as part of Western civilization based on shared “Judeo-Christian” values. Huntington’s work is widely debated, and not universally accepted. This essay assumes Huntington’s thesis is a lens to view international relations, this thesis does not hypothesize nor debate the validity of Huntington’s thesis in its entirety, rather seeks to challenge his classification of civilizations. For work that argues Huntington’s thesis is valid, please read the work of Robert D. Kaplan titled Looking the World in the Eye. For work that challenges the validity of Huntington, please read the work of Edward Said titled Clash of Ignorance (2001).
