  • 1 Jews, Gentiles, and the Modern Egalitarian Ethos
    Jews, Gentiles, and the Modern Egalitarian Ethos: Some Tentative Thoughts David Berger The deep and systemic tension between contemporary egalitarianism and many authoritative Jewish texts about gentiles takes varying forms. Most Orthodox Jews remain untroubled by some aspects of this tension, understanding that Judaism’s affirmation of chosenness and hierarchy can inspire and ennoble without denigrating others. In other instances, affirmations of metaphysical differences between Jews and gentiles can take a form that makes many of us uncomfortable, but we have the legitimate option of regarding them as non-authoritative. Finally and most disturbing, there are positions affirmed by standard halakhic sources from the Talmud to the Shulhan Arukh that apparently stand in stark contrast to values taken for granted in the modern West and taught in other sections of the Torah itself. Let me begin with a few brief observations about the first two categories and proceed to somewhat more extended ruminations about the third. Critics ranging from medieval Christians to Mordecai Kaplan have directed withering fire at the doctrine of the chosenness of Israel. Nonetheless, if we examine an overarching pattern in the earliest chapters of the Torah, we discover, I believe, that this choice emerges in a universalist context. The famous statement in the Mishnah (Sanhedrin 4:5) that Adam was created singly so that no one would be able to say, “My father is greater than yours” underscores the universality of the original divine intent. While we can never know the purpose of creation, one plausible objective in light of the narrative in Genesis is the opportunity to actualize the values of justice and lovingkindness through the behavior of creatures who subordinate themselves to the will 1 of God.

  • {Download PDF} the Book of New Israeli Food Ebook Free Download
    THE BOOK OF NEW ISRAELI FOOD PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Janna Gur | 304 pages | 26 Aug 2008 | Schocken Books | 9780805212242 | English | New York, United States The Book of New Israeli Food by Janna Gur: | : Books A modern-day classic and a personal favorite, this cookbook is written by power foodie Janna Gur and her team, with gorgeous photos by Eilon Paz. In Jerusalem, London-based celebrity chef Yotam Ottolenghi and then partner Sami Tamimi rehash their Jerusalem childhoods from different sides of the tracks with equal warmth and character, while giving a complete history of the volatile city and showing off its most charming corners through positively stunning photography. Sure, the recipes might contain an eclectic mix of 20 ingredients, but they are all fresh, wholesome and inspiring. This book belongs on every coffee table, if only as a discussion piece, and for its celebration of Sephardic cuisine. The scrumptiously delicious and herbaceously rich recipes are only a bonus. From Israeli baker Uri Scheft of the famous Breads Bakery, which has several branches in both New York City and Tel Aviv, this book covers a wide range of influences on Israeli baking and includes hundreds of bread recipes, alongside other beloved Israeli baked goods such as Krembo and hamentaschen both with updated twists. This book focuses on historical fact and culture as much as the beautiful and more remotely found dishes and stories of the region. This homey book comes from the New York-based Israeli chef who brought gourmet falafel and upscale Israeli dining to America with her popular restaurants, Balaboosta , Taim and Bar Bolonat.

J.F. JANSE VAN RENSBURG APRIL 2008 ABSTRACT THE PENTATEUCHAL TARGUMS: A REDACTION HISTORY AND GENESIS 1: 26-27 IN THE EXEGETICAL CONTEXT OF FORMATIVE JUDAISM This thesis combines Targum studies with Judaic studies. First, secondary sources were examined and independent research was done to ascertain the historical process that took place in the compilation of extant Pentateuchal Targums (Fragment Targum [Recension P, MS Paris 110], Neofiti 1, Onqelos and Pseudo-Jonathan). Second, a framework for evaluating Jewish exegetical practices within the age of formative Judaism was established with the scrutiny of midrashic texts on Genesis 1: 26-27. Third, individual targumic renderings of Genesis 1: 26-27 were compared with the Hebrew Masoretic text and each other and then juxtaposed with midrashic literature dating from the age of formative Judaism. Last, the outcome of the second and third step was correlated with findings regarding the historical process that took place in the compilation of the Targums, as established in step one. The findings of the summative stage were also juxtaposed with the linguistic characterizations of the Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon Project (CAL) of Michael Sokoloff and his colleagues. The thesis can report the following findings: (1) Within the age of formative Judaism pharisaic sages and priest sages assimilated into a new group of Jewish leadership known as ‘rabbis’.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 773 ) Thesis Abstract Judaism is a religion that emphasises the importance of a set of practical commandments and in the history of Jewish philosophy various attempts have been made to rationalise or justify these commandments. In this thesis I try to establish a general model for the justification of practices through a critical examination of two such attempted rationalisations. However, the study is framed within the more general question of whether or not there can be such a thing as Jewish Philosophy as a genuinely substantive discipline. Thus, I take the particular topic of rationalising the commandments as a ‘case study’ in order to see whether we can do substantive Jewish philosophy at least in the practical sphere. In the main body of the thesis I look at the methods of rationalisation of Moses Maimonides and Joseph Soloveitchik and argue that despite being based on very different scientific models they share a central methodological presumption that I term the Priority of Theory (PoT).

  • Review Essay the Theological-Political Problem in Leo Strauss's Writings on Moses Mendelssohn
    Journal of Jewish Thought & Philosophy �� (�0�4) �9�-��5 brill.com/jjtp Review Essay ∵ The Theological-Political Problem in Leo Strauss’s Writings on Moses Mendelssohn Jeffrey A. Bernstein College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA [email protected] Leo Strauss on Moses Mendelssohn Translated, edited, and with an interpretive essay by Martin D. Yaffe. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2012. xxxiv + 322pp. It is impossible to do justice to Martin Yaffe’s edition of Leo Strauss’s writings on Moses Mendelssohn in the present context. It amounts to a philosophical optic that allows readers to glimpse, as if for the first time, the fundamen- tally theological-political character of Strauss’s thinking. This character is so stark that it can be said to function as the horizon on which all of Strauss’s other distinctions (ancients/moderns, philosophy/polis, philosophy/poetry, esoteric/exoteric) come into view. In translating all of Strauss’s introductions and annotations contained in the Moses Mendelssohn Gesammelte Schriften Jubiläumsausgabe—the Jubilee Edition of Mendelssohn’s collected writings (with additional correspondence between Strauss and Alexander Altmann and relevant primary source material by Lessing and Mendelssohn),1 Yaffe has not only succeeded magisterially in presenting readers with a “whole picture” * I would like to thank the journal’s two anonymous reviewers for their feedback. In order to assist readers of the journal, I have incorporated their suggestions largely into footnotes. 1 In addition to the materials contained in Leo Strauss on Moses Mendelssohn, Yaffe has pro- duced English renderings of Strauss’s German translations of two texts that Mendelssohn © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, ���4 | doi �0.��63/�477�85X-��34��56 192 bernstein of Strauss’s relation to Mendelssohn, he has also allowed readers to perceive the depth of this relationship as it opens onto Strauss’s overall work.
