It is our honor to dedicate this issue of Derech HaTeva in her memory. Rachel Sussman served as a role model for the women of Stern College and her numerous acts of philanthropy are shining examples of the many contributions one can make to enhance and better the lives of others. Her dedication to the devel- opment of areas relating to both Torah and science parallels the vision of this publication and it is only fit- ting that the twelfth edition of Derech HaTeva serves as a medium for her name to live on. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Office of the Dean and the Office of Admissions at Stern College for Women for their support of this journal. Specific thanks to Dean Karen Bacon whose vision for the students at Stern College for Women made this journal possible.

  • Pointing to the Torah and Other Hagbaha Customs
    289 Pointing to the Torah and other Hagbaha Customs By: ZVI RON The idea of displaying the text of the Torah to the listening congre- gation is already found in Tanakh. Before Ezra read to the assem- bled Jews from the Torah scroll, we are told that “Ezra opened the scroll before the eyes of the people … and when he opened it, all the people stood silent. Ezra blessed the Lord God, and all the people answered, ‘Amen! Amen!’ with their hands upraised, then they bowed and prostrated themselves before the Lord, faces to the ground” (Neh. 8:5-6). It is not clear if the showing of the Torah and the reaction of bowing was meant to be a onetime practice or some- thing that would accompany every public Torah reading. Still, this source forms the basis of the idea of displaying the Torah scroll as codified in Masekhet Soferim 14:13.1 Just as reported in Nehemiah, Masekhet Soferim instructs that the Torah is to be shown before the reading, at which time the congregation should bow: “It is a mitz- vah for all the men and women to see the writing, bow and say, ‘This is the Torah that Moses placed before the Children of Israel’ (Deut. 4:44). ‘The Torah of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul’ (Ps. 19:8).” This source is quoted by Ramban in his discussion of 1 See Morekhai Zer-Kavod, Da‘at Mikra: Ezra v–Nehemia (Jerusalem: Mossad Harav Kook, 1994), p. 105, note 6. See there also an alternate in- terpretation that the word vayiftah in this verse means “began reading” ra- ther than “opened.” According to that interpretation there was not neces- sarily a public display of the Torah at this event, and the people reacted to hearing the words of the Torah, rather than to seeing the scroll.

  • Introduction of Rabbi Yosef Kapach to His Edition of Moses Maimonides
    Introduction of Rabbi Yosef Kapach to his edition of Moses Maimonides’ Mishneh Torah (translated by Michael J. Bohnen) Rabbi Kapach was the foremost editor of the works of Maimonides. Born in Yemen in 1917, he used ancient manuscripts to restore the text of the Mishneh Torah. Several fascinating articles about Rabbi Kapach can be found at www.chayas.com/rabbi.htm The following is a summary and translation of his 20 page Introduction to his edition of the Mishneh Torah. Translator’s Summary My Work. When in my youth I studied the Mishneh Torah with my grandfather of blessed memory, most people used printed books, each with his own edition, but my grandfather and several of the others had manuscripts which were several hundred years old, each scroll of a different age. The errors and deficiencies of the printed texts were well known. The changes that Maimonides made over time in the Commentary on the Mishnah, after completing the Mishneh Torah, he then inserted in the Mishnah Torah. These are all found in our manuscripts, but some are not found in the printed texts. The Jews of Yemen are a conservative group. They would never have presumed to "correct" or "amend" a text that came into their hands, and certainly not the works of Maimonides. However, the Mishneh Torah was subjected to severe editing by the printers and various editors who made emendations of style, language, the structure of sentences and the division of halachot, to the extent that there is hardly any halacha that has not been emended. In this edition of ours, we are publishing, with God’s help, the words of Maimonides in full as we received them from his blessed hand.

  • The Beruriah Incident : Tradition of Exclusion As a Presence of Ethical
    The Beruriah Incident: Tradition of Exclusion as a Presence of Ethical Principles by Itamar Drori * Zusammenfassung Die Geschichte, die als Beruria-Geschehnis bekannt ist und sich in Rashi’s Kommentar zu bAvodah Zarah 18b (dem ATU Typus 920A* und 823A* ähnlich) findet, beschreibt das Scheitern und tragische Ende von R. Meir und seiner Ehefrau Beruria – beide gelten als tannaitische Identifikationsfiguren. In diesem Artikel wird die Authentizität dieser Geschichte untersucht. Dabei wird die Spur ihrer Verbreitung innerhalb der traditionellen jüdischen Gesellschaft vor der Moderne verfolgt. Weiterhin werden ein- zelne Bestandteile der Geschichte mit rabbinischer und internationaler volkstümlicher Literatur verglichen. Abstract The story known as the Beruriah Incident, which appears in Rashi’s commentary on bAvodah Zarah 18b (related to ATU types 920A* and 823A*), describes the failure and tragic end of R. Meir and his wife Beruriah, two tannaic role-models. This article exam- ines the authenticity of the story by tracking the method of distribution in traditional Jewish society before the modern era, and comparing the story’s components with rabbinic literature and international folklore. * Formal aspects of the genealogy of this story reviewed by: Itamar Drori, ‘The Beruriah Incident,’ Encyclopedia of the Jewish Story: Sippur Okev Sippur (Eds.

Jewish Process Theology is an application of Process Thought, which espouses a developmental and fluid perspective with respect to creation and creativity. This discipline offers important insights for how to shape and enforce copyright law. The issue of "change" and authorship is more important now than ever before given how the digital age is revolutionizing the way the world thinks about authorship. By incorrectly maintainingthat a living garden is not capable of copyright protection since it is unfixed, changeable, and partially the product of nonhuman authorship, a recent decision by the U.S.
