  • 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.

  • Towards a Phenomenological Existentialism in the Rabbinic Law of Beit Hillel
    135 “If I am here, then all is here”: Towards a Phenomenological Existentialism in the Rabbinic Law of Beit Hillel By: HILLEL E. BRODER and MOSHE L. LAX “Subjective reflection turns in towards subjectivity, wanting in this inner absorption to be truth’s reflection, and in such a way that…where objectivity was brought forward and subjectivity disappeared, so here subjectivity itself is what is left and objectivity what vanishes.” —Soren Kierkegaard1 “If I am here, then all is here.” —Hillel 2 Perhaps the most central name in rabbinic antiquity, Hillel (c. 60 B.C.E. to c. 20 C.E.) and his affiliated mishnaic and talmudic school (“Beit Hil- lel”) of nearly four centuries figure predominantly in both aggadic ideals and normative legal decisions within the rabbinic textual tradition. Hillel’s school is principal in Mishnaic debates and enjoys victory as the dominant rabbinic voice in the majority of over 350 legal disputes.3 In traditional 1 Concluding Unscientific Postscript to the Philosophical Crumbs ed. Alastair Hannay (Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2009), 165. 2 bSukka, 53a. 3 Standard readings of Beit Hillel initialize the house’s genealogy and extend it through 356 C.E. with the death of Hillel II; see most recently Binyamin Lau, The Sages, Vol. 1 (Maggid, 2010), 203–239; Alfred J. Kolatch, Masters of the Talmud: Their Lives and Views (JD Books, 2003), 220. Most significant scholarly opposi- tion to such a traditional theory can be found in Louis Ginzberg “Significance of the Halacha,” On Jewish Law and Lore (Atheneum, 1970). Ginzberg argues that Hillel and Shammai were, in fact, the final Pair (zug) or “preeminent figures” of legal liberalism and conservatism, respectively, who “figured as the last in the period that began with the first Pair, Jose ben Joezer and Jose ben Johanan” (90) referenced in mAbot 1:4–12.

Sinai and called the Torah (Torah M'Sinai). In Hebrew, these five books of Moses are referred to as Torah Shebiktab (the written law). They constitute the bedrock of all Jewish law. These commandments, precepts and ordinances as set forth in the written law are enunciatory in nature and required much interpretation. There evolved, therefore, through the many generations, a great mass of oral teachings interpreting these laws, so multifarious as to require orderly arrange- ment.

With these words, the Torah seems to be telling us that it is appropriate to be aware of what has transpired before us, to ponder what has happened in history, to consider the experiences of those who lived in generations gone by. While one might study history out of a sense of curiosity, out of an appreciation of an exciting story, or out of a quest for general knowledge, the Torah here indi- cates that there is a more profound goal, namely, to assimilate the message that the past is relevant to us in the present.

  • Resources to Begin the Study of Jewish Law in Conservative Judaism*
    LAW LIBRARY JOURNAL Vol. 105:3 [2013-15] Resources to Begin the Study of Jewish Law in Conservative Judaism* David Hollander** Conservative Judaism stands at the center of the Jewish ideological spectrum. In that position it strives, sometimes with difficulty, to apply a flexible, modern out- look to an ancient system of binding laws. This bibliography provides law scholars with annotated citations to a selection of important sources related to Jewish law in Conservative Judaism, supplemented by brief explanations of the larger context of the resources. Introduction . 305 Historical Development of Conservative Judaism. 307 Primary Sources of Jewish Law in Conservative Judaism. 310 Secondary Sources of Jewish Law in Conservative Judaism. 316 Jewish Law and Conservative Judaism in Israel. 319 Conclusion . 320 Introduction ¶1 Conservative Judaism is an unfortunately named branch of liberal Judaism.1 If Orthodox Judaism stands on one side of the left-right divide of the Jewish com- munity (the right side), Conservative Judaism is firmly on the opposite (left) side. However, if the Jewish community is divided into those who view Jewish law as binding and those who do not, Conservative Judaism (in theory, at least) is firmly on the side of binding law, the same side as Orthodox Judaism. So Conservative Judaism occupies an uncomfortable position, firmly modern and liberal, while still adhering to a binding legal framework, which is a space largely occupied by the nonliberal camp of Orthodox Judaism. ¶2 This middle space is accompanied by many problems, but despite these problems, the conception of Jewish law offered by the Conservative movement represents an important and comprehensive vision that claims for itself a historical authenticity,2 and that is ideally suited to ensure that the exploration of Jewish law * © David Hollander, 2013.

  • Jewish Blood
    Jewish Blood This book deals with the Jewish engagement with blood: animal and human, real and metaphorical. Concentrating on the meaning or significance of blood in Judaism, the book moves this highly controversial subject away from its traditional focus, exploring how Jews themselves engage with blood and its role in Jewish identity, ritual, and culture. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, the book brings together a wide range of perspectives and covers communities in ancient Israel, Europe, and America, as well as all major eras of Jewish history: biblical, talmudic, medieval, and modern. Providing historical, religious, and cultural examples ranging from the “Blood Libel” through to the poetry of Uri Zvi Greenberg, this volume explores the deep continuities in thought and practice related to blood. Moreover, it examines the continuities and discontinuities between Jewish and Christian ideas and practices related to blood, many of which extend into the modern, contemporary period. The chapters look at not only the Jewish and Christian interaction, but the interaction between Jews and the individual national communities to which they belong, including the complex appropriation and rejection of European ideas and images undertaken by some Zionists, and then by the State of Israel. This broad-ranging and multidisciplinary work will be of interest to students of Jewish Studies, History and Religion. Mitchell B. Hart is an associate professor of Jewish history at the University of Florida in Gainesville. He is the author of The Healthy Jew: The Symbiosis of Judaism and Modern Medicine (2007) and Social Science and the Politics of Modern Jewish Identity (2000).

  • Judaism and Jewish Philosophy 19 Judaism, Jews and Holocaust Theology
    Please see the Cover and Contents in the last pages of this e-Book Online Study Materials on JUDAISM AND JEWISH PHILOSOPHY 19 JUDAISM, JEWS AND HOLOCAUST THEOLOGY JUDAISM Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people, based on principles and ethics embodied in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the Talmud. According to Jewish tradition, the history of Judaism begins with the Covenant between God and Abraham (ca. 2000 BCE), the patriarch and progenitor of the Jewish people. Judaism is among the oldest religious traditions still in practice today. Jewish history and doctrines have influenced other religions such as Christianity, Islam and the Bahá’í Faith. While Judaism has seldom, if ever, been monolithic in practice, it has always been monotheistic in theology. It differs from many religions in that central authority is not vested in a person or group, but in sacred texts and traditions. Throughout the ages, Judaism has clung to a number of religious principles, the most important of which is the belief in a single, omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent, transcendent God, who created the universe and continues to govern it. According to traditional Jewish belief, the God who created the world established a covenant with the Israelites, and revealed his laws and commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of the Torah, and the Jewish people are the descendants of the Israelites. The traditional practice of Judaism revolves around study and the observance of God’s laws and commandments as written in the Torah and expounded in the Talmud. With an estimated 14 million adherents in 2006, Judaism is approximately the world’s eleventh-largest religious group.
