OCT. 27, 2002 The courteous and competent real-estate agent I'd just hired to rent my house shocked and offended me when, after we signed our contract, he refused to shake my hand, saying that as an Orthodox Jew he did not touch women. As a feminist, I oppose sex discrimination of all sorts. However, I also support freedom of religious expression. How do I balance these conflicting values? Should I tear up our contract? J.L., New York This culture clash may not allow you to reconcile the values you esteem. Though the agent dealt you only a petty slight, without ill intent, you're entitled to work with someone who will treat you with the dignity and respect he shows his male clients. If this involved only his own person -- adherence to laws concerning diet or dress, for example -- you should of course be tolerant. But his actions directly affect you. And sexism is sexism, even when motivated by religious convictions.

  • Angels and Demons: Managing Our Good & Evil Inclinations
    Shavuot 5780: Self-Guided Torah Study Experience Angels and Demons: Managing Our Good & Evil Inclinations By Rabbi Avi Heller, OU Regional Director for New Jersey In the comic books, the bad angel stands on one shoulder with a pitchfork and the good angel on the other with a halo. In Judaism, we call these two influences the “yetzer ha-tov”, the inclination to good and the “yetzer ha-ra” the inclination to evil. But those urges and desires are not imposed upon us from without; they are part of who we are and how Hashem created us. If God created us this way, there must also be a way to succeed in life with both the good and evil parts within us. With your chavruta, make your way through the following few sources. (The sources should take you around 30 minutes to read through and discuss.) STEP 1: Read these 2 verses about the creation of human beings from B’reisheet 1:27 and 2:7: ַו ִיּ ְב ָרא ֱאS ִקים ׀ ֶאת־ ָֽה ָא ָדם ְבּ ַצ ְלמוֹ ְבּ ֶצ ֶלם ֱאS ִקים ָבּ ָרא ֹאתוֹ ָז ָכר וּ ְנ ֵק ָבה ָבּ ָרא ָתֹא :םֽ (1:27) And Elokim created mankind in (h)is image, in the image of Elohim He created him, male and female He created them. ַו ִיּי ֶצר ה‘ ֱאS ִקים ֶאת־ ָֽה ָא ָדם ָﬠ ָפר ִמן־ ָה ֲא ָד ָמה ַו ִיּ ַפּח ְבּ ַא ָפּיו ִנ ְשׁ ַמת ַח ִיּים ַו ְי ִהי ָֽה ָא ָדם ְל ֶנ ֶפשׁ ַח ָֽיּה: (2:7) And Hashem Elohim formed mankind as dust from the ground and He blew a soul of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living spirit.

Page 10 PAGE 2 MESSAGE FROM THE ROSH YESHIVA Sefer Shemos is the story of the emergence of Klal Yisrael from a small tribe of the progeny of Yaakov, to a thriving nation with millions of descendants, who accepted upon themselves the yoke of Torah. It is the story of a nation that went out to a desert and sowed the seeds of the future – a future that thrives to this very day. More than sixty years ago, my grandfather Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky, zt”l, charged my father and mother with the formidable task, “Go to the desert and plant the seeds of Torah.” What started as a fledgling school with six or seven boys, flourished more than a hundred fold. With institutions of tefilah, and higher Torah learning, all the outgrowth of that initial foray into the desert, my father’s impact is not only eternal but ever-expanding. This year’s dinner will mark both the commemoration of those accomplishments and a commitment to the renewal, refurbishment and expansion of the Torah facility he built brick by brick in 1964. Whether you are a student, an alumnus, a parent or community member, my father’s vision touched your life, and I hope that you will join us in honoring his.

  • Tanya Sources.Pdf
    The Way to the Tree of Life Jewish practice entails fulfilling many laws. Our diet is limited, our days to work are defined, and every aspect of life has governing directives. Is observance of all the laws easy? Is a perfectly righteous life close to our heart and near to our limbs? A righteous life seems to be an impossible goal! However, in the Torah, our great teacher Moshe, Moses, declared that perfect fulfillment of all religious law is very near and easy for each of us. Every word of the Torah rings true in every generation. Lesson one explores how the Tanya resolved these questions. It will shine a light on the infinite strength that is latent in each Jewish soul. When that unending holy desire emerges, observance becomes easy. Lesson One: The Infinite Strength of the Jewish Soul The title page of the Tanya states: A Collection of Teachings ספר PART ONE לקוטי אמרים חלק ראשון Titled הנקרא בשם The Book of the Beinonim ספר של בינונים Compiled from sacred books and Heavenly מלוקט מפי ספרים ומפי סופרים קדושי עליון נ״ע teachers, whose souls are in paradise; based מיוסד על פסוק כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאד בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו upon the verse, “For this matter is very near to לבאר היטב איך הוא קרוב מאד בדרך ארוכה וקצרה ”;you, it is in your mouth and heart to fulfill it בעזה״י and explaining clearly how, in both a long and short way, it is exceedingly near, with the aid of the Holy One, blessed be He. "1 of "393 The Way to the Tree of Life From the outset of his work therefore Rav Shneur Zalman made plain that the Tanya is a guide for those he called “beinonim.” Beinonim, derived from the Hebrew bein, which means “between,” are individuals who are in the middle, neither paragons of virtue, tzadikim, nor sinners, rishoim.
