Still, mission and purpose in making ourselves, our environment and the miracle of Purim has a our world holier and better and adding another brick to the very significant relationship structure wherein Almighty G-d will dwell, that spiritual, soul- to the month of Adar 1. motivated life continues even after one’s physical passing as the mission and objective continue unceasingly to the following The Talmud records the birthday and passing of Moses on the generations. seventh of Adar 1, during a leap year like this year. The soul continues to live eternally in the spiritual world. Adar is referred to in Talmudic, Halachic and Kabbalistic origins Passing from this temporal life merely changes the venue and as the month when its Mazal has extra power and an “over- dimension of existence, removing the limits of time, space and the-top flow of energy”. The astrological sign of Adar is Pisces physical being from the equation and continues in a vibrancy which additionally refers to blessings as fish multiply in great that retains its eternity and influences the world with its numbers and also avoid the evil eye as they cannot be seen powerful force. beneath the surface. The Talmudic scholars state that “Moses our Rebbe never died”. When the evil Haman planned his nefarious objective to His body in its physical form was buried but his soul energy and annihilate the Jewish people, he researched and recognized mission continues to influence and affect all future generations, through his sources of information that the Jewish people were each containing an extension of Moses until the coming of connected beyond the natural order of existence. Hence the Moshiach. miraculous sustainability of this enigmatic nation. They defied the general social, anthropological and historical patterns. A Jewish life is primarily a spiritual one but also brings blessings He needed to access a higher energy source in order to be in this physical world as we celebrate the Jewish People’s successful in his demonic plan. triumph over the evil Haman and all other Hamans of history. To access the beyond rational energy source, he decided to cast Have a great Shabbos and great week. a lottery - which represents a supra rational mechanism - to determine the month when he would actualize his plan. The result of the lottery was the month of Adar. He immediately rejoiced, taking this as a most opportune omen that he would succeed, for the savior of Israel, Moses, died in this month. “Little did that evil person know that the savior of Israel, Moses, was Rabbi S. Lipskar also born on that month”, continues the Talmud. It is interesting to note the difference of the perceptions through the prism of evil and through the aperture of the holy and good. 3 Education Appeal Dear Community Family, Shma Yisrael Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad And you shall love the L-rd your G-d with all your thoughts, feelings and urges, with your life and with all your possessions……And you shall teach the words of Torah diligently to your children/students. Imbedded in the most important statement of the Torah/Judaism is the obligation to teach Torah to Jewish children. The obligation rests primarily on the Father but when circumstances are such that the Father can’t, won’t or is not there to fulfll this foundational obligation it becomes the collective responsibility of the community to educate that Jewish child. The priority of this Tzedakah in relation to other charitable causes is of the highest level. Trumping most other legitimate needs (Code of Jewish Law – Laws of Tzedakah 249:16). “Jewish education today,” says the Rebbe, “is not only to save a Jewish Child for Jewishness but to save a human for humanity”. The social lifestyle in today’s world of our children from primary school through college is very precarious and fraught with dangers. There are no limits and the eXtent of fulflling the simple animalistic desires that are at the base of our beings are ever increasing in their “avant garde”, beyond- boundaries life style. When statistics show that one of every four teenage girls are afficted by either 1) suicidal thoughts; 2) cutting one’s own body; 3) eating disorder i.e. bulimia /anorexia; 4) depression, it sends a shudder through me. 25% of our teenage girls are at risk of being emotionally unstable. What about the boys? And what about other types of debilitating behavior not considered by the liberal researchers as risky i.e. teenage seXual encounters, body mutilation, etc. pregnancy and abuse, hopelessness and impudence/chutzpah and a strong malady of desensitization. We are in a crisis that is targeting our future – our most important commodity – our children. Because of severe economic setbacks and downturns and unaffordable tuition fees, many families cannot afford to pay the tuition for their children’s ongoing Jewish education and environment. When the parents cannot fulfll this sacred duty it becomes the Mitzvah of the Community (Talmud Baba Basra 21:A Shulchan Aruch Harav Laws of Talmud Torah Ch. 1:3) Every year we make an appeal during this period for tuition assistance. Last year we provided Hebrew School to 125 children in public school. We subsidize the tuition of more than 100 children in private Jewish schools and provide assistance to more than 60 children in summer camp. In total, our education scholarship fund raised and disbursed close to $400,000. If one saves a single soul (albeit spiritually) it is as if he saved an entire world. We beseech you our wonderful community to continue our legendary generosity though this may require an eXtra effort today and may even be a sacrifce. The Mitzvah you will earn will surely bring you all of Hashem’s bountiful blessings materially and spiritually. Thank you on behalf of those parents and children to whom you will graciously give life enhancing assistance and on behalf of Hashem whose children you are caring for. When we care for Hashem’s children, He cares for ours. With gratitude, Love and esteem, Sholom D.

Another apostate was Rabbi Nehemiah ben Jacob ha-Kohen of Ferrara, who was an important supporter of R. Moses Hayyim Luzzatto during the controversy about him.[1]Here is the the final page of the haskamah he wrote in 1729 for R. Aviad Sar Shalom Basilea’s Emunat Hakhamim. R. Isaac Lampronte, in a halakhic discussion in hisPahad Yitzhak, refers to Nehemiah, but not by name.[2] He calls him .In R .אחד מן החכמים רך בשנים אשר אחרי כן הבאיש ריחו כנודע Hananel Nepi and R. Mordechai Samuel Ghirondi, Toldot Gedolei Yisrael (Trieste, 1853), p. 229, they write about Obviously, “Ishmaelite” is a .שאח”כ נעשה ישמעאלי :Nehemiah code word for Christian.[3] The story reported by Samuel David Luzzatto is that Nehemiah used to go to prostitutes, and when the rabbis found out about this they removed the rabbinate from him. Too embarrassed to remain in the Jewish community, Nehemiah apostatized.[4] Cecil Roth cites another Italian source that Nehemiah converted so he could marry a Christian woman. Unfortunately, his son and three daughters apostatized together with him (his wife had apparently already died).[5] Another apostate who should be mentioned is Michael Solomon Alexander (1799-1844), first Anglican bishop in Jerusalem. Before his apostasy, Alexander was a rabbi.[6] Rabbi Abraham Romano of Tunis also became an apostate. He converted at the end of the seventeenth century when R. Meir Lombrozo was appointed a dayan in his place. After Romano converted, he became well known as a Islamic preacher, and after his death his tomb was venerated by Muslims.

A collection of halakhic and aggadic texts, classic and contemporary, dealing with the sun, Massekhet HaHammah was prepared as a companion to the ritual for Birkat HaHammah. Our hope is that rabbis and communities will study this text in advance of the Fast and use it both for adult learning about this fascinating ritual and as the text around which to build a siyyum, a celebratory meal marking the conclusion of a block of text study and releasing firstborn in the community from the obligation to fast on the eve of the Passover seder.1 We are also struck this year by the renewed importance of our focus on the sun given the universal concern with global warming and the need for non-carbon-based renewable resources, like solar energy.

Leinenweber DAVID COLEMAN HEADLEY ) GOVERNMENT’S POSITION PAPER AS TO SENTENCING FACTORS The United States of America, by and through its attorney, Gary S. Shapiro, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, respectfully submits the following as its position paper as to sentencing factors and objections to the Presentence Report: I. Introduction Determining the appropriate sentence for David Headley requires consideration of uniquely aggravating and uniquely mitigating factors. Headley played an essential role in the planning of a horrific terrorist attack. His advance surveillance in India contributed to the deaths of approximately 164 men, women, and children, and injuries to hundreds more. Undeterred by the shocking images of death and destruction that came out of Mumbai in November 2008, Headley traveled to Denmark less than two months later to advance a plan to commit another terrorist attack. Headley not only worked at the direction of Lashkar e Tayyiba for years, but also with members of al Qaeda. There is little question that life imprisonment would be an appropriate punishment for Headley’s incredibly serious crimes but for the significant value provided by his immediate and extensive cooperation. Case: 1:09-cr-00830 Document #: 358 Filed: 01/22/13 Page 2 of 20 PageID #:2893 As discussed in this and other filings, the information that Headley provided following his arrest and in subsequent proffer sessions was of substantial value to the Government and its allies in its efforts to combat international terrorism.
  • The Adjudication of Fines in Ashkenaz During the Medieval and Early Modern Periods and the Preservation of Communal Decorum

    The Adjudication of Fines in Ashkenaz During the Medieval and Early Modern Periods and the Preservation of Communal Decorum

    The Adjudication of Fines in Ashkenaz during the Medieval and Early Modern Periods and the Preservation of Communal Decorum Ephraim Kanarfogel* The Babylonian Talmud (Bava Qamma 84a–b) rules that fines and other assigned payments in situations where no direct monetary loss was incurred--or where the damages involved are not given to precise evaluation or compensation--can be adjudicated only in the Land of Israel, at a time when rabbinic judges were certified competent to do so by the unbroken authority of ordination (semikhah). In addition to the implications for the internal workings of the rabbinic courts during the medieval period and beyond, this ruling seriously impacted the maintaining of civility and discipline within the communities. Most if not all of the payments that a person who struck another is required to make according to Torah law fall into the category of fines or forms of compensation that are difficult to assess and thus could not be collected in the post-exilic Diaspora (ein danin dinei qenasot be-Bavel).1 * Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies, Yeshiva University. 1 See Arba’ah Turim, Ḥoshen Mishpat, sec. 1, and Beit Yosef, ad loc. In his no longer extant Sefer Avi’asaf, Eli’ezer b. Joel ha-Levi of Bonn (Rabiah, d. c. 1225) concludes that the victim of an assault can be awarded payments by a rabbinic court for the cost of his healing (rippui) and for money lost if he is unable to work (shevet), since these are more common types of monetary law, with more precisely assessed forms of compensation.

Degree awarded March 2017 ii © 2017 Charles David Hanna iii THESIS ABSTRACT Charles David Hanna Master of Arts Folklore Program March 2017 Title: Tales of the Hasidim: Martin Buber’s Universal Vision of Ecstatic Joy and Spiritual Wholeness I will examine Martin Buber’s Tales of the Hasidim, and the limits of his concepts of “ecstatic joy” and “spiritual wholeness.” To Buber, Hasidic legends present the possibility of overcoming tensions between the quotidian present and the messianic future, divisions of sacred and profane, divine and self. I argue that Buber does not present clear instructions on how to achieve this unity, so I turn to his other writings on Hasidism in order to trace his definition of “ecstatic joy” and “spiritual wholeness.” While Buber accurately depicts the Zaddik-Hasidim relationship, he downplays the importance of Jewish Law (Halacha) in facilitating the goal of ecstatic joy and spiritual wholeness which he posits as the essence of Hasidism.
