  • The Haredim As a Challenge for the Jewish State. the Culture War Over Israel's Identity
    SWP Research Paper Peter Lintl The Haredim as a Challenge for the Jewish State The Culture War over Israel’s Identity Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs SWP Research Paper 14 December 2020, Berlin Abstract ∎ A culture war is being waged in Israel: over the identity of the state, its guiding principles, the relationship between religion and the state, and generally over the question of what it means to be Jewish in the “Jewish State”. ∎ The Ultra-Orthodox community or Haredim are pitted against the rest of the Israeli population. The former has tripled in size from four to 12 per- cent of the total since 1980, and is projected to grow to over 20 percent by 2040. That projection has considerable consequences for the debate. ∎ The worldview of the Haredim is often diametrically opposed to that of the majority of the population. They accept only the Torah and religious laws (halakha) as the basis of Jewish life and Jewish identity, are critical of democratic principles, rely on hierarchical social structures with rabbis at the apex, and are largely a-Zionist. ∎ The Haredim nevertheless depend on the state and its institutions for safeguarding their lifeworld. Their (growing) “community of learners” of Torah students, who are exempt from military service and refrain from paid work, has to be funded; and their education system (a central pillar of ultra-Orthodoxy) has to be protected from external interventions. These can only be achieved by participation in the democratic process. ∎ Haredi parties are therefore caught between withdrawal and influence.

  • The Eruv: An-Other Dwelling Within the City
    ' the eruv: an-other dwelling within the city m i ri a m levy We never go away even if we're always leaving. Paula Gunn AJIerf In Orthodox Judaism, an eruv is the construction of a single private domain c — within the urban landscape. 2 Orthodox law prohibits the conveyance of objects, including strollers or wheelchairs, outside the private domain on the Sabbath. The eruv, which may include an entire neighborhood, facilitates this carrying between domains, amalgamating the public and private within — n it to become a single communal spatial network. A continuous physical or symbolic boundary around an area and the symbolic pooling of the commu- nity's resources (usually represented by bread or Matzah) inside the area establishes the eruv. The boundary of the eruv thus constructs a symbolic house, which, in conjunction with the communal food, creates a place of 1^ ZT connection in the public sphere independent of a particular geographical location; the eruv can be deployed in any place of residence. The introduc- tion of an external boundary erases the internal boundaries, allowingthe pri- c jE £ vate domains to infiltrate the public domains and vice versa, forming an area S f^ > - '^. 5 S of interchange. .. a ° S "-' in its ^ c ra The eruv has been discussed predominantly terms of point of origin, ^1 ii Jewish religious law. From that standpoint, a body of laws determines pri- C t-" ft) o si °^ marily the character of the physical elements that define a space as a private = S ii -S domain or a public domain. However, thick layers of symbolism and social Jill constructions created by the eruv lie beyond the legalism.

  • Using an Eruv to Untable the Boundaries of the Supreme Court's
    USING AN ERUVTO UNTANGLE THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SUPREME COURT'S RELIGION-CLAUSE JURISPRUDENCE Shiraj.Schlaff* INTRODUCTION "[T]he Court's religion-clause jurisprudence . has been de- scribed by scholars of all persuasions, and even by the justices them- selves, as unprincipled, incoherent, and unworkable."1 Lower courts await instruction from the Supreme Court on the ambiguities in relig- ion clause jurisprudence. Controversies that have arisen regarding a procedure that enables Orthodox Jews to carry and push objects out- side on the Sabbath, elucidate many of the holes and incoherencies in First Amendment jurisprudence. This comment uses the creation of an eruv, the name of this procedure, as a case-study to display the ambiguities of current First Amendment law and the need for more specific guidance from the Supreme Court on what the Establish- ment Clause permits and forbids and what the Free Exercise Clause requires. In order to understand the constitutional issues surrounding an eruv, it is important to first grasp the concept of an eruv and its func- tion in Jewish law. According to Jewish law, the Bible prohibits carry- ing from a private domain to a public domain and carrying more than a few feet within a public domain on the Sabbath. A house or apartment is generally considered to be one's private domain. Only a J.D. Candidate, 2003, University of Pennsylvania Law School.

  • Minimalist Guide to Kosher Camping
    The National Jewish Committee on Scouting A Minimalist Guide to Kosher Camping www.jewishscouting.org Note to the Reader: This guide is a practical how-to guide to kosher camping; it is not intended to provide you with religious advice. For religious advice, please seek out a local religious authority. The guide reflects the practical measures taken by one Cub Scout Pack to implement the advice of its Pack Chaplain when planning and carrying out its camping activities. The goal of this guide is to enable a Jewish Scouter in a Shomer Shabbat unit to carry out a successful, fun Shabbat-compliant campout. While you may accept and follow the guide “as-is,” it is also reasonable to review and adapt it with your Troop or Pack Chaplain and the local rabbinical authorities who guide your program. For example, your Rabbi may tell you that you need an Eruv and offer you a different guide or a book on how to build it. This guide has a one- paragraph explanation of how to build one type of Eruv. Many other designs exist; there is no need to follow this example. Be Prepared The secret to Shomer Shabbat camping is the same as everything else in Scouting, Be Prepared. If you can spend two hours preparing prior to the campout to save 15 minutes during the campout, do it. A little extra time planning during a Scout meeting can help save precious minutes before Shabbat when you are at your campsite. Building an Eruv If you need to construct an Eruv at your campsite, creating a pre-made “Eruv Kit” will simplify the process.

  • Guide to Shavuot at Home 5780 Erev Shavuot
    Guide to Shavuot at Home 5780 Erev Shavuot – Thursday May 28 ● Eiruv Tavshilin should be prepared. This is to allow one to cook on Friday (Yom Tov) for Shabbat. Set aside a cooked food and a baked food that will be eaten on Shabbat and then: Take the food items (it is a good idea to wrap them in aluminum foil, or another distinctive packaging, to easily keep them apart from the rest of the foods in your home), and raise them a handbreadth, and then recite the following: Blessed are you, L-rd our G-d, king of the universe, who has sanctified us with his commandments, and commanded us concerning the mitzvah of eruv. Through this [eruv] it shall be permissible for us to bake, cook, put away a dish [to preserve its heat], kindle a light, prepare, and do on the holiday all that is necessary for Shabbat — for us and for all the Israelites who dwell in this city. The eruv is put away until Shabbat, when it is eaten. In many communities, it is customary to use the challah or matzah as one of the two loaves of bread used at the Shabbat meal. ● One should make an effort to daven mincha before plag hamincha which is at 7:19pm. We will have a Zoom pre-Yom Tov ruach at 6:45pm followed by Mincha at 7:05pm. ● Candle lighting should take place at 8:31pm. Many women have the custom to recite shehecheyanu immediately after lighting candles (note: women who will be reciting Kiddush themselves may not recite shehecheyanu at candle lighting).
