Rav Weinbach wasn’t just our Rosh Hayeshiva. He was our father, mentor, advisor, friend, comrade and teacher. This volume is an opportunity for rabbis, staff, students, alumni and friends to share their memories and thoughts about a man who successfully dedicated his entire life to educating his fellow Jew. We hope this will give us an understanding of who Rav Weinbach zt”l was and what he meant to all who had the merit to know him and interact with him. One year has passed. We have come to an even greater awarness how immeasurable our loss is.

    Marc B. Shapiro – Responses to Comments and Elaborations of Previous Posts III Responses to Comments and Elaborations of Previous Posts III by Marc B. Shapiro This post is dedicated to the memory of Rabbi Chaim Flom, late rosh yeshiva of Yeshivat Ohr David in Jerusalem. I first met Rabbi Flom thirty years ago when he became my teacher at the Hebrew Youth Academy of Essex County (now known as the Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy; unfortunately, another one of my teachers from those years also passed away much too young, Rabbi Yaakov Appel). When he first started teaching he was known as Mr. Flom, because he hadn’t yet received semikhah (Actually, he had some sort of semikhah but he told me that he didn’t think it was adequate to be called “Rabbi” by the students.) He was only at the school a couple of years and then decided to move to Israel to open his yeshiva. I still remember his first parlor meeting which was held at my house. Rabbi Flom was a very special man. Just to give some idea of this, ten years after leaving the United States he was still in touch with many of the students and even attended our weddings. He would always call me when he came to the U.S. and was genuinely interested to hear about my family and what I was working on. He will be greatly missed. 1. In a previous post I showed a picture of the hashgachah given by the OU to toilet bowl cleaner. This led to much discussion, and as I indicated, at a future time I hope to say more about the kashrut industry from a historical perspective.[1] I have to thank Stanley Emerson who sent me the following picture.

  • Chassidus on the Balak Chassidus on the Parsha +
    LIGHTS OF OUR RIGHTEOUS TZADDIKIM בעזרת ה יתבר ' ב עז רת A Tzaddik, or righteous person, makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) BALAK _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah Torah and Business How good are your tents, O Yaakov, your dwellings, O Yisrael (24:5). This is the famous blessing that Hashem placed in the mouth of Bilaam regarding the Jewish people. Why is the residence of the Jewish people considered a tent when they are addressed as Yaakov and a dwelling place when they are addressed as Yisrael? We can see an allusion here, explains Rav Levi Yitzchok, to the proper relationship of a Jew to his Torah learning and to his business affairs. Yisrael is a higher level than Yaakov, as is well-known. Therefore, the name Yisrael is used when speaking about Torah and the name Yaakov when speaking about business. Since tents are temporary dwellings, Yaakov is being told to make his business the subordinate part of his life, and since dwellings places are permanent, Yisrael is being told to make Torah learning the anchor of his existence, as the Mishnah states (Avos 1:15), “Appoint times for Torah study.” n Story For the first few years after his marriage, Rav Levi Yitzchok and his wife lived in Levertov in the home of his father-in-law Reb Yisrael Peretz, a wealthy businessman who provided for all their needs so that Rav Levi Yitzchok could sit and learn Torah undisturbed.

  • Nitzotzot Min Haner Presents Part One of a Two Part Article on Homosexuality
    NNiittzzoottzzoott MMiinn HHaaNNeerr VVoolluummee ##1144,, SSeepptteemmbbeerr –– OOccttoobbeerr 22000033 This edition of Nitzotzot Min HaNer presents Part One of a two part article on Homosexuality. Part Two consists of ‘Attitudes and Responses to Homosexuality in the Broader Society’ and will be sent out in the next few weeks. In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders1. In June of this year, the Supreme Court struck down criminal sodomy laws, reversing its 1986 decision in Bowers v. Hardwick, which held that the Constitution didn't guarantee the right to engage in "homosexual sodomy." This was followed by a series of events in rapid succession which made headlines for months, and seems to have brought the issue of same-sex marriage in the USA much closer to happening. First came the decision in Ontario, Canada, legalizing same sex marriage there. Then came two high profile cases of the appointment of a gay bishop in England and another in Boston. The Pope and President Bush weighed in against same sex marriage, while many others did just the opposite. Jewish Action magazine, amongst many others, came out with timely articles. A Nitzotzot overview was clearly called for. Points we make in this edition: 1. The Torah prohibited homosexuality despite its general acceptance in the broader society over most of history. 2. Homosexuality was prohibited by the Torah for a variety of reasons. Some of these are: ••• The sanctity of children – the mitzvah of Pru U’Revu; ••• The sanctity of marriage and of marriage being the only viable vehicle for bringing up children; 1 The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) Nitzotzot Min HaNer Volume #14 September – October 2003 -- Page # 2 ••• The first Adam was divided into male and female.

It has injected added vibrancy into the strong and energetic North West London community and I am delighted that it has now joined the United Synagogue. ! The kehilla has enjoyed an extraordinary year under the leadership of Rav Binyamin Tabory, but no community can rest on its past successes. Alei Tzion is clearly striving to consolidate and build. Their new Rav, Rabbi Avi Scharf will, I am sure, provide dynamic and inspirational leadership to the kehilla as it moved forward.
