  • The Third Wagon by Chaim Peri
    Village Way - Past Present and Future Revisiting our vision The vision of Yemin Orde Village has always been to serve as a microcosm of an upright and resilient society, guiding youth from a life of survival to a life of worthiness. Backed by Friends of Yemin Orde, it sought to fulfill the prophetic vision of a Jewish State that is guided by compassionate justice, where no child is left behind. The Village Way initiative was established in order to propagate this vision where needed. The Village Way heralds a renaissance in education, a grassroots movement of social and spiritual development. ImpactIsrael A quarter of a century after the establishment of FYO, our new banner marks a most relevant evolvement of this vision. This development is totally attuned to the existential juncture in which the Jewish world now stands. Past and Present From its earliest days, Judaism has always been a grand-scale educational marathon – the transmission of knowledge, values and traditions from generation to generation. The realities of exile have further placed education at the heart of Jewish life - in the family circle, the Yeshivot and engaged congregations. In all cases, upholding faith and culture was reliant on the quality and centrality of education in the lives of our people. Indeed, the Yeshiva system continues to maintain that very strictly, following an educational methodology which was initiated 200 years ago by Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin. At the same time, elsewhere in our civil society, there is much talk about the importance of education, but in fact we see a constant degradation in its public status and increasing fragmentation in its implementation.

Consider the difference between the following: - A Hebrew name from the Tanach 1 eg Avraham, Yehonatan, Esther etc. - A Tanach name which has been shortened or adapted eg Avi, Yoni, Esti, Sari. - A Tanach name which is not normally used - eg Ogli, Mushi, Mupim, Chupim, Ard, Kislon. What about Adam? - The English translation of a Hebrew name eg Abraham, Jonathan, Deborah. - A non-biblical Hebrew name which is commonly used by observant Jews eg Zvi, Ari, Rina, Shira. - A non-Hebrew name which is only used by observant Jews eg Velvel, Mottel, Mendel, Raizel, Sprintze, Kalonimus Kalman. - A non-Jewish name which has been explicitly accepted by Jews - eg Alexander - A non-Jewish name which is commonly used by Jews and non-Jews eg Andrew, Jason, Susan, Lucy. - A non-Jewish name which has connotations relating to other religions eg Paul, Luke, Mary. - A non-Jewish name which is directly connected to another religion eg Chris, Mohammed, Jesus.

  • Jewish Intertestamental and Early Rabbinic Literature: an Annotated Bibliographic Resource Updated Again (Part 2)
    JETS 63.4 (2020): 789–843 JEWISH INTERTESTAMENTAL AND EARLY RABBINIC LITERATURE: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHIC RESOURCE UPDATED AGAIN (PART 2) DAVID W. CHAPMAN AND ANDREAS J. KÖSTENBERGER* Part 1 of this annotated bibliography appeared in the previous issue of JETS (see that issue for an introduction to this resource). This again is the overall struc- ture: Part 1: 1. General Reference Tools; 2. Old Testament Versions; 3. Apocrypha; 4. Pseudepigrapha; Part 2: 5. Dead Sea Scrolls; 6. Individual Authors (Philo, Jose- phus, Pseudo-Philo, Fragmentary Works); 7. Rabbinic Literature; 8. Other Early Works from the Rabbinic Period; 9. Addenda to Part 1. 5. DEAD SEA SCROLLS While the Dead Sea Scrolls are generally associated with Qumran, properly they also cover discoveries from approximately a dozen other sites in the desert wilderness surrounding the Dead Sea, such as those at Naal ever, Murabbaat, and Masada. The approximately 930 MSS from Qumran were penned from the 3rd c. BC through the 1st c. AD. The Masada texts include Jewish scrolls from the time leading up to the Roman conquest (AD 73) and subsequent Roman documents. The finds at Naal ever and Murabbaat include documents from the time of the Bar Kokhba revolt (AD 132–135). Other Bar Kokhba era documents are known from Ketef Jericho, Wadi Sdeir, Naal Mishmar, and Naal eelim (see DJD 38). For a full accounting, see the lists by Tov under “Bibliography” below. The non- literary documentary papyri (e.g. wills, deeds of sale, marriage documents, etc.) are not covered below. Recent archaeological efforts seeking further scrolls from sur- rounding caves (esp.

  • Initial Bibliography of Important Haggadah Literature,Marc B
    Initial Bibliography of Important Haggadah Literature Initial Bibliography of Important Haggadah Literature by Eliezer Brodt All are aware of the proliferation of Haggadahs. Every year more and more are published thus making it difficult to know which versions are worthwhile. Thus, in this post I intend to focus on a listing a small bibliographical list of seforim relating to the Haggadah that are, in my mind, some of the most important ones. In light of the fact I am going to select a few Haggadahs from the many, a caveat of sorts is in order. When discussing the “best” books it is good to keep in mind the comments of R. Eliyahu ben Avrohom Shlomo HaKohen (d. 1729) in hisShevet Mussar (ch. 28) who writes the following regarding affinities towards particular seforim: ותראה בני אדם שלומדים ענין אחד מדרוש או ממוסר בספר אחד ואין טועמים ממנו ואין נרשם הדבר בשכלם. והענין או דברי המוסר בעצמו לומדים אותו בספר אחר הבא בשינו לשון ובמלות שונות וטועמים ממנו ונרשם הענין בדעתם ומגדלים ומשבחים אותו ענין. ובהפך אם אחד למד ענין בספר שלמד זה וטעם הוא אינו טועם כטעם הספר שלא טעם חבירו. טעמו של דבר שכל הטועם מענין הספר שלמד יש לו איזה שורש לנשמתו בנשמת מחבר הספר כיון שהם משורש אחד לכן טועם לשונו ונרשמים הדברים בליבו. לא כן מספר שלמד ולא טעם אף על פי שהענין אחד משום שאין לנשמתו שום קורבה ואחיזה בנשמת המחבר אותו ספר. Basically, according each persons taste of a sefer could be different and the reason has to do with some sort of connection with the author of the sefer.

ISSN 0721-8753 To Mom and Dad Preface Most legal rulings in the earlier strata of rabbinic literature, like the rulings in other ancient legal systems, are formulated as case law, and deal with mundane, physical objects - cows, doors, spoons, and the like. With the passage of time, however, we are witness to the increasing use of explicit concepts and general principles in rabbinic literature. Many of these concepts and principles are abstract, and address philosophical or quasi-philosophical issues such as the legal status of change, causation, and potentiality.
