  • Truth and Legend About Israel Salanter" by Jacob Mark
    The RYS Daily 8/29/06 Truth and Legend III From "Truth and Legend About Israel Salanter" by Jacob Mark Rabbi Israel was the first of his time to heed the danger to Jewry from the oncoming haskala. Paradoxically, Judaism and the study of the Torah were then in full flower. The great yeshivas of Volozhin, Vilna, Slutsk, Minsk, Karlin, and Lublin were crowded with students. Practically every little town in Lithuania boasted a yeshiva. Not only yeshiva students but ordinary householders filled the prayer houses, studying Torah. The singsong Gemara intonation of "the Rabbis teach" was heard from one end of the Pale of Settlement to the other. Since Jews were Jews never had Isaiah's prophecy been so well fulfilled: "And all thy children shall be taught of the Law." The Shulhan Arukh reigned supreme in the Jewish world, while the Pentateuch in Yiddish and morality books ruled the Jewish home. Small wonder, then, that the rabbis could not understand what Rabbi Israel had in mind when he appealed to them to find ways to safeguard Judaism. Some were incensed at him and responded only with the formula that "innovations are prohibited according to the Torah." But Rabbi Israel's vision was clearer. He foresaw that for all its Judaism and Torah Lithuania would be less resistant to the haskala than Poland, White Russia, the Ukraine, and Galicia, where hasidism had become entrenched; where the authority of the rebbe and zaddik prevailed, where the tradition of the Jew- ish sages governed the community. Pondering along these lines, Rabbi Israel concluded that the only way to safeguard Torah and Judaism from the onslaughts of the time was to teach ethics, morality, and the fear of Cod not only to the young but to adults married folk, and parents.

Degree awarded March 2017 ii © 2017 Charles David Hanna iii THESIS ABSTRACT Charles David Hanna Master of Arts Folklore Program March 2017 Title: Tales of the Hasidim: Martin Buber’s Universal Vision of Ecstatic Joy and Spiritual Wholeness I will examine Martin Buber’s Tales of the Hasidim, and the limits of his concepts of “ecstatic joy” and “spiritual wholeness.” To Buber, Hasidic legends present the possibility of overcoming tensions between the quotidian present and the messianic future, divisions of sacred and profane, divine and self. I argue that Buber does not present clear instructions on how to achieve this unity, so I turn to his other writings on Hasidism in order to trace his definition of “ecstatic joy” and “spiritual wholeness.” While Buber accurately depicts the Zaddik-Hasidim relationship, he downplays the importance of Jewish Law (Halacha) in facilitating the goal of ecstatic joy and spiritual wholeness which he posits as the essence of Hasidism.

  • Tradition Online
    Shnayer Z. Leiman From the Pages of Tradition R. SHIMON SCHWAB: A LETTER REGARING THE "FRAKFURT" APPROACH In 1963) a scathing critique of the Torah and Derekh Bretz movement founded by R. Samson Raphael Hirsch (d. 1888) appeared in print.l It was authored by R. Bliyahu Eliezer Dessler (d. 1953)) a leading member of the Musar movement) mashgiah of the Ponoviez yeshivah in Bnei Brak) and profound thinker.2 Labelling the Torah and Derekh Bretz movement the ((Frankfurt)) approach) Rabbi Dessler conceded that very few graduates of Torah and Derekh Bretz educational institutions defected from tradi- tional Judaism. This was certainly a strength. But) an¡ued Rabbi Dessler, precisely because secular study was incorporated into its curriculum) the ((Frankfurt)) approach was doomed to failu.re. In effect) it produced no gedolei yisrael and precious few rabbinic scholars (1omedim) of note. In contrast) the Bast European yeshivo! had only one educational goal: the production of gedolei yisraeL. Secular study was banned from the yeshiva curriculum because nothing short of total immersion in Torah study would produce gedolei yisraeL. The gedolim in Eastern Europe were well aware that heavy casualties would result from this single-minded approach to Jewish education. But that was a price they were prepared to pay in order to produce gedolei yisraeL. A letter was sent to Rabbi Shimon Schwab) soliciting his response to Rabbi Dessler)s critique. His response was published anonymously in ha- Ma'ayan) a distinguished Israeli Torah journal) in 1966.3 We are indebted to the editorial board ofha-Ma'ayan for granting us permission to repub- lish the essay in English translation.

  • Overcoming Anger We Are Approaching the Selichot Prayers
    Overcoming Anger We are approaching the Selichot prayers, that part of the Kol Nidre service where we have an opportunity to reflect on those ways in which we have "missed the mark," done things that have hurt ourselves and others. For the next 24 hours, we have an opportunity to reflect on this, to take to heart the ways in which we can do better. In a few minutes we will chant the traditional list of "al hayts," the alphabetical list of transgressions that help us think about ways in which each of us may have gotten off the path this past year. It's a mundane list - no dramatic sins, no murder, grand theft, political treason. The things that are listed are actions that we can all relate to, at some point in our lives: speaking disrespectfully; abusing food or drink; dishonesty; gossip; jealousy; being stubborn. As we begin reflecting on the internal obstacles we face to being our best selves, I’d like to take a few minutes to talk a bit about something that most of us experience in one way or another, and that is the challenge of anger. I began thinking about this this summer, as I felt all the reactions to the situation in Israel and Gaza swirling around me. While I was in Israel, I didn't experience any anger directed at me personally, but I was aware of the ways it was manifesting in so many places: angry right-wing Israelis physically attacking other Israelis protesting the war; angry Palestinians in the West Bank, demonstrating against both Israeli and Palestinian authorities; and coming from all directions, the anger that swept through cyberspace, popping up on people's Facebook pages and in other social media.

  • The Rabbi Who Ate on Yom Kippur: Israel Salanter and the Cholera Epidemic of 1848
    The Rabbi Who Ate on Yom Kippur: Israel Salanter and the Cholera Epidemic of 1848 Ira Taub Abstract Rabbi Israel Lipkin (1810–1883), better known as Rav Yisrael Salanter, an outstanding religious and ethical leader of nine- teenth-century Lithuanian Jewry, made a celebrated and deep- ly controversial decision in the fall of 1848. As a devastating cholera epidemic reached its peak just as the solemn fast of Yom Kippur was approaching, Salanter publicly advocated eating on Yom Kippur, so that his community would not be made more vulnerable by a day of fasting. While Salanter was an innovator in many areas of Jewish thought, his attitude toward Halacha, the canon of Jewish law, was based upon traditional sources and authorities. In order to analyze this controversial episode in Eastern European Jewish history, it is important to consider the impact and contemporary understanding of cholera in the context of how infectious disease and life-saving interventions are treated in Halacha. YOM KIPPUR, 1848 The second of eight cholera pandemics lasted from 1829 to 1852, spreading through all of Europe, and leaving a trail of devastation across much of Russia and the surrounding regions.1, 2 In contrast to the waxing and waning character of the contagion in Western Europe, the infection spread continuously in Eastern Europe and Ira Taub, a 2007 AECOM graduate, is currently a resident in pediatrics at University Hospitals/Case Medical Center in Cleveland. He wishes to thank Dr. Edward Reichman for his guidance and assistance. 295 Wiesen 153-323 rev 2.indd 295 5/4/09 4:51:07 PM 296 And You Shall Surely Heal Russia throughout the mid-nineteenth century, killing millions in the process.2, 3, 4 Rabbi Israel Lipkin (1810–1883), better known as Rav Yisrael Salanter, was an outstanding religious and ethical leader of the Lithuanian Jewish community at the time.5 Vilnius, or Vilna as it was known to Jews, the city where he lived and taught, had been hit hard by cholera in the summer of 1848.
