    Marc B. Shapiro – Clarifications of Previous Posts Clarifications of Previous Posts by Marc B. Shapiro [The footnote numbers reflects the fact this is a continuation of this earlier post.] 1. I was asked to expand a bit on how I know that R. Barukh Epstein’s story with Rayna Batya is contrived. In this story we see her great love of Torah study and her difficulty in accepting a woman’s role in Judaism. Certainly, she must have been a very special woman, and I assume that she was, for a woman, quite learned. When Mekor Barukh was published there were still plenty of people alive who had known her and it would have been impossible to entirely fabricate her personality. The same can be said about Epstein’s report of the Netziv reading newspapers on Shabbat. This is not the sort of thing that could be made up. Let’s not forget that the Netziv’s widow, son (R. Meir Bar-Ilan) and many other family members and close students were alive, and Epstein knew that they would not have permitted any improper portrayal. It is when recording private conversations that one must always be wary of what Epstein reports. A good deal has been written about the Rayna Batya story, and Dr. Don Seeman has referred to it as “the only record which has been preserved of a woman’s daily interactions with her male interlocutor over several months.”[15] When challenged about the historical accuracy of Epstein’s recollections, Seeman replied “that there is no evidence to indicate that R.

Shapiro’s response to Rabbi Zev Leff (see original review), Prof. Marc B. Shapiro has shared with the Seforim blog his original response to Rabbi Chaim Rapoport from several years ago. ועש”ק פרשת בא תשס”ד לכבוד ידידי אהובי הרה”ג החסיד המפואר, איש חמודות ונדיב לב, אוצר בלום לתורה ולחכמה, מוה”ר חיים ראפפורט שליט”א, אב”ד דק”ק אילפורד יע”א אחדשה”ט באהבה נאמנה תחילה אני מודה למע”כ על טירחתו לכתוב לי ולהעיר על דבריי הפעוטים . וכעת אבא לעיקר הנידן במכתבו, וטרם אתייחס לטענתו במישרין, הנני מצהיר שדבריי בזה הם כיהודה ועוד לקרא, שהרי רבנו הגר”א, אשר כל רז לא אניס ליה, כתב בפירוש שהרמב”ם מכחיש את הקמיעות והשמות, ואנן מה נענה אבתריה. וכל הנידון אינו אלא האם אפשר למצוא את זה במפורש בדברי הרמב”ם. ויאמין לי ידידי, כי אני זהיר מאד בכל לשונותי, ולפני שאני כותב דבר בשם הנשר הגדול יושב אני שבעה נקיים, ורק אח”כ הנני מעלה את הדיו על הנייר. וכמובן, מוכן אני להודות שטעיתי, כי אין אדם תחת השמש שיכול לומר שלא שגה, ולא אפונה כי יש בספרי דברים הצריכים תיקון, ושגיאות מי יבין, כל קבל דנא מחזיקנא טיבותא לך אם יעמידני על האמת, ואת .הצריך תיקון אשוב ואתקן, אבל בנידון דידן, אינני חושב שטעיתי כתב האג”מ שהרמב”ם מודה שאיכא שמירה בשמות מלאכים ושמות קדושים ופסוקים, ובפירושו לסוטה ז, ד כתב הרמב”ם נגד אלה הטפשים שכותבים קמיעות ושמים בתוכם שמות קדושים ושמותיהם של מלאכים.

  • Overview of the Amidah I
    OVERVIEW OF THE AMIDAH I The Establishment, Structure, and Purpose of the Amidah ne of the most significant prayers in Judaism and the heart of the daily prayers Ois the Amidah. It is an expression of many of the fundamental tenets of Judaism, accompanied by requesting God for our most basic needs in life. The word “Amidah” means “standing,” for that is the position in which it is recited. It is also often referred to as the Shemonah Esrei, the Eighteen, after the number of blessings this prayer originally contained. Composed at the beginning of the Second Temple period by the Men of the Great Assembly, the Amidah guides us when we pray to God, showing profound gratitude and expressing our deepest aspirations and concerns. There are two Morasha classes on the Amidah. In this first class, we will focus on the origin and composition of the Amidah, its basic structure and purpose. In the next class we will focus on how to pray the Amidah – in thought and action. The Morasha shiur on Prayer is recommended as a prerequisite for this class. This class will address the following questions: What is the importance of the Amidah? Why and when was the Amidah composed? What is the structure of the Amidah and how many blessings are there? Why do we follow a set text and have fixed times for prayer? Isn’t it better to pray spontaneously when we feel the inspiration to do so? Class Outline: Section I. Composing the Amidah Part A. A Brief History of Prayer Part B.
