Un episodio che, come in molti hanno ricordato, era stato portato all’attenzione dell’opinione pubblica sul portale dell’ebraismo italiano www.moked.it, nel giorno successivo all’incontro tra Israele e Italia valevole per le qualificazioni ai Mondiali del 2018. La Commissione Disciplinare della Fifa, nella motivazione, ha parlato di comportamento “improprio e discriminatorio”. La Federcalcio, interpellata dalla redazione, non ha voluto commentare il prov- vedimento. “Condanniamo fermamente quanto accaduto allo stadio di Haifa” aveva dichiarato, nelle ore successive alla nostra segnalazione, il presidente della Figc Carlo Tavecchio. Individuati e denunciati i tifosi responsabili delle manifestazioni di odio ad Haifa. Si tratta di tre facinorosi di Bari, appartenenti alla galassia ultrà: P.G, di 23 anni; T.F, di 25; D.B.N di 24.

All requests for other reproduction rights should be addressed to the author. DRAFT Guide to Practical Halacha and Home Ritual For Conservative Jews Preface Many Conservative Jews have a strong desire to learn some practical and ritual halacha (Jewish law) but have no ready source of succinct information. Often the only readily available books or web sites present an Orthodox viewpoint. This Guide is meant to provide an introduction to selected practical halachic topics from the viewpoint of Conservative Judaism. In addition, it gives some instruction on how to conduct various home rituals, and gives basic guidance for some major life events and other situations when a Rabbi may not be immediately available. Halacha is a guide to living a religious, ethical and moral life of the type expected and required of a Jew. Halacha covers all aspects of life, including, for example, food, business law and ethics, marriage, raising children, birth, death, mourning, holidays, and prayer.

  • Don Alan Pennebaker [*] Kevin Finner
    Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 5.2, 2010 // 203 Don Alan Pennebaker [*] Kevin Finner [*] Don Alan Pennebaker, auch nominiert als D.A., Don A. oder Donn A. Pennebaker. Geboren am 15. Juli 1925, dreht der heute vierundachtzigjährige Don Alan Pennebaker, Sohn eines Fotografen, noch immer Filme. Nach seinem Militärdienst und einem Ingenieurstudium in Yale sowie am M.I.T in Cambridge arbeitete er in verschiedenen Berufen, bevor er auf Drew und Leacock stieß. Michael Barchet zufolge verdiente Pennebaker sein Geld zunächst als Werbetexter und entwickelte u.a. ein computergestütztes Buchungssystem für Fluglinien (Barchet 1991, 154). Inspiriert durch den Filmemacher Francis Thompson drehte Pennebaker mit Ende zwanzig mit DAYBREAK EXPRESS (1953) und BABY (1954) seine ersten Filme über die New Yorker U-Bahn und einen Zoobesuch mit seiner Tochter. Letzterer war eigentlich nichts anderes als ein Amateur-Familienfilm. Jedoch wurde ihm während des Schneidens bewusst, dass er nicht seinem Material eine Story aufdrängen, sondern dass er sich Story und Rhythmus später in der Montage aus sich selbst heraus entwickeln lassen sollte (Saunders 2007, 10). Zusammen mit Richard Leacock wurde Pennebaker ein Gründungsmitglied von Drew Associates und arbeite dort für die nächsten drei Jahre. Nach den Erfolgen um PRIMARY (1960, Robert Drew), THE CHAIR (1963, ROBERT DREW) und CRISIS: BEHIND A PRESIDENTIAL COMMITMENT (1963, Robert Drew) sah sich Pennebaker nicht mehr in der Lage, die Forderungen von ABC, Time-Life und Drew zu erfüllen und strebte zusammen mit Leacock nach mehr künstlerischer Freiheit: My decision to quit wasn’t the result of any great moral conflict, I simply wasn’t able to fulfill their demands, because I realized that our process of filming could produce better films.

  • The Eruv and Its Benefits
    1 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE ORGANIZATION FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ERUVIM IN ORDER TO SAVE THOUSANDS OF JEWS FROM DESECRATING THE HOLY SHABBAT We want to call the attention of all the distinguished Rabbanim Geonim and Tzaddikim of our generation who sacrifice themselves for the Holy Torah, even for our traditions, we call on them to have mercy and compassion on the Jewish souls who stumble due to our many sins on the grave transgression of desecrating the Holy Shabbat, and so we call on them to establish Eruvim according to the Halacha in all the cities where our Jewish brothers live so that they sin not from now on through the desecration of Shabbat and anyone who is stringent on the laws of Eruvim and does not establish them ends up being lenient regarding the observance of Shabbat and regarding the welfare of Jewish souls. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MITZVAH TO SET UP ERUVIM In order to show the importance of the Eruv for orthodox Jews, and how thousands stumble every Shabbat on the prohibition of carrying from the Private to the public domain or carrying within the public domain, willingly or not, we will bring a few cases and the wise person will learn from them and as the Chatam Sofer wrote (Orach Chayyim Siman 99): “Anyone with knowledge will judge with his own logic that it is impossible in any way for a Jewish man to watch over all the members of his household, kids and women, to guard them every Shabbat Kodesh from taking out anything from the door of their house, small things and children with the bread in their hands and how much agony the adults suffer in order to watch over them.

  • Minority Opinions and Their Role in Hora'ah
    NATHANIEL HELFGOT Minority Opinions and their Role in Hora’ah I. Introduction IN TRANSITIONING from the abstract and theoretical learning of the beit medrash, Halakhah and its practitioners are called upon to narrow the var- ious possibilities of legal decision and issue normative rulings. The pletho- ra of opinions and possible choices, while stimulating and reflective of the polyphonic nature of the system, often needs to be systematized and formal- ized in order that there not be chaos, or in the language of the rabbis, shelo yehei ke-shtei torot be-yisrael. Any student of rabbinic literature, while nurtured on the ethos of eilu ve- eilu divrei Elokim hayyim,1 is aware that in the practical realm the narratives of R. Gamliel coercing R. Yehoshua to present himself in the court on the day R. Yehoshua felt was calenderically Yom Kippur seem to be determina- tive. Furthermore, the upshot of the celebrated sugya in Bava Metzia (59a-b) of tannur shel akhnai is that the majority view of the rabbis on earth is what determines normative practice. Majority rule is a principle ingrained in the functioning of the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem and all lesser courts. Indeed, the rebellious elder (zakein mamrei) who tenaciously maintains his minority view and rules for others to follow in his footsteps is liable for capital punishment; a phenomenon that certainly gives pause to any notion that the minority voice retains operative status after the court has ruled. Yet there still exists a number of areas in which the minority viewpoint is not only given an airing but has operative value and status.
