(Pictured below, top in 1987; top right, Rav Schwab at the 55th Aguda שליט''א ,left, Rav Schwab with Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky Convention giving his memorable speech on excesses in spending, bottom left, Rav Schwab with Rav Rav Perlow at the 1987 Dinner; bottom right, with Rabbi Moshe Scherer and the יבלח''ט Glucksman and Pnei Menachem of Gur at the 1977 Aguda convention.) on Thursday evening, March 5th/10 Adar by Rabbi אי''ה A special Shiur to mark the occasion will be given Doniel Schwab. All members, men and women, are urged to attend. Twenty-five years ago, the entire Yeshiva attended the Levaya in Shul. The next Kolenu reported as follows: “We, together with the rest of Klal Yisroel, mourn the great loss which befell us with the passing of our revered Rav Shimon Schwab, zt”l. According to police estimates, approximately 4,000 people came from all over to pay their respects to this Godol B’Yisroel. Whether Rav Schwab spoke with first graders who just received their first Vol. 50, No. 5 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 2 Chumash or the accomplished Chochom, Rav Schwab was always able to imbue his students with Torah and Yiras Shomayim. We pray that the Rav will be a Meilitz Yosher for his beloved Kehilla and Yeshiva and all of Klal Yisroel.” Though a quarter of a century has passed, Rav Schwab’s influence, particularly through his Seforim, is still strongly felt, both in our community and throughout the Jewish world.

  • The Genius and Limitations of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik Z"L
    The Genius and Limitations of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik z"l Byline: Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopes Cardozo is Dean of the David Cardozo Academy in Jerusalem. Thoughts to Ponder 529 The Genius and Limitations of Rabbi Joseph Ber Soloveitchik z”l * Nathan Lopes Cardozo Based on an introduction to a discussion between Professor William Kolbrener and Professor Elliott Malamet (1) Honoring the publication of Professor William Kolbrener’s new book “The Last Rabbi” (2) Yad Harav Nissim, Jerusalem, on Feb. 1, 2017 Dear Friends, I never had the privilege of meeting Rav Soloveitchik z”l or learning under him. But I believe I have read all of his books on Jewish philosophy and Halacha, and even some of his Talmudic novellae and halachic decisions. I have also spoken with many of his students. Here are my impressions. No doubt Rav Soloveitchik was a Gadol Ha-dor (a great sage of his generation). He was a supreme Talmudist and certainly one of the greatest religious thinkers of our time. His literary output is incredible. Still, I believe that he was not a mechadesh – a man whose novel ideas really moved the Jewish tradition forward, especially regarding Halacha. He did not solve major halachic problems. This may sound strange, because almost no one has written as many novel ideas about Halacha as Rav Soloveitchik (3). His masterpiece, Halakhic Man, is perhaps the prime example. Before Rav Soloveitchik appeared on the scene, nobody – surely not in mainstream Orthodoxy – had seriously dealt with the ideology and philosophy of Halacha (4). Page 1 In fact, the reverse is true.

INTRODUCTION: THE MODERN STUDY OF JEWISH TORT THEORY AS A STORY OF “SELF- MIRRORING” Isidore Twersky showed us that “[t]o a great extent the study of Maimonides is a story of ‘self- mirroring’,”1 and that the answers given by modern and medieval scholars and rabbis to some questions on the concepts of Maimonides “were as different as their evaluations of Maimonides, tempered of course by their own ideological convictions and/or related contingencies.”2 Maimonides’ opening passages of the Book of Torts (Sefer Nezikin) in the Code (Mishneh Torah) can also be described as a story of “self-mirroring”.

    THE MESSIAH II The Nature of the Messianic Era he first Morasha class on the Mashiach addressed the centrality of the belief in the Texistence of Mashiach, who he will be, and what he needs to accomplish. This second class will explore the nature of the Pre-Messianic and Messianic Eras, when they will occur, and what we can do to hasten the arrival of the Messiah. During the time of the Mashiach there will be two resurrections of the dead.

This class will address the following questions: When will the Mashiach arrive? Is there anything we can do to cause the Mashiach to arrive more quickly?
