Robert był człon- kiem Rady Naukowej „Almanacha”, od początku towarzyszył tej inicjatywie i jej re- alizacji. Zdecydowaliśmy się zresztą zamieścić zdjęcie Roberta z Zamościa z marca 2012 roku, kiedy Uczelnia wespół z Centrum „Synagoga” zorganizowała promocję pierwszego numeru czasopisma. Robert był jednym z prezentujących treść pierwsze- go numeru i założenia programowe rocznika… Przede wszystkim był jednak znako- mitym historykiem, uznanym autorytetem w sprawach związanych z Zagładą, może najlepszym znawcą „żydowskiej” Lubelszczyzny. Absolwent Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, badacz i archiwista, nauczyciel szkół średnich, związany z Uniwersytetem Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej, wreszcie mu- zealnik, pracownik Państwowego Muzeum na Majdanku, przez pewien czas był kie- rownikiem filialnego oddziału Muzeum – Miejsca Pamięci w Bełżcu. Bez wątpienia w wielkiej mierze dzięki Jego staraniom i niespożytej energii obóz Zagłady w Bełż- cu znalazł właściwe miejsce na mapie badań nad Holokaustem. Autor i współau- tor wielu prac naukowych poświęconych społeczności żydowskiej w Lublinie oraz Zagładzie Żydów, ceniony edukator, świetny przewodnik. Obdarzony wielką cha- ryzmą Robert był także niezrównanym gawędziarzem, człowiekiem zawsze życzli- wym, nigdy nie żałował swego czasu i nie odmawiał pomocy czy dzielenia się swą wiedzą. Rzeczywiście, należał do tych nielicznych, którzy – w przenośni i dosłownie – poświęcili życie swej pasji. Redakcja 8 9 ARTYKUŁY ARTICLES Artykuły / Articles Natalia Levkovych (Lviv) Artistic Features of Besamims in Eastern Galicia in the 18th – the first third of the 20th Century The art research of specific ethnic groups that for centuries lived and created their own history and culture in Ukraine is significant for modern Ukrainian art. The stu- dy of Jewish arts and crafts in Eastern Galicia in the 18th – the first third of the 20th century is one of primary importance areas for understanding the comprehensive image of artistic processes. The monuments of Jewish art in Galicia are presented in numerous museum collections, private collections and are usually considered in the context of Jewish art in general, apart from the territory of creation, the interference availability and the creative inspirations, which determine the topicality of the stu- dy. A number of prominent scholars have addressed to the study of besamim range of problems, in particular in the context of Jewish ceremonial art in the middle and the second half of the 20th century, Heshil Golnitzki [1], Abraham Kanof [2], Stephen Kayser [3], Faina Petryakova [4], Tatyana Romanovska [5], Alexander Kantsedikas [6]1 and others. The use of scent for ritual purposes in different cultures around the world has a very long-standing tradition and the burning of aromatic herbs, resins and incense is of symbolic meaning. Meanwhile, mystical and therapeutic powers were attributed to the redolence,

  • Vayigash 5776
    Vayigash Vayigash, 7 Tevet 5776 “Sending Everyone Out” Harav Yosef Carmel Before Yosef revealed his identity to his brothers, he commanded the members of his court: “Send everyone out from before me” (Bereishit 45:1). We will try to explain why it was so important to Yosef to be alone with his brothers. The midrash (Sechel Tov, Bereishit 45) explains that this was done for the needs of modesty. As Yosef was going to prove his identity by showing he was circumcised, he did not want his assistants to see what was not necessary for them to see. The simple explanation, of course, is that Yosef wanted to protect his brothers from embarrassment at the awkward situation that was to occur, which would include no small amount of explicit or implicit rebuke. Rishonim put stress on the rebuke, including practical ramifications, stemming from it, other than the brothers’ simple embarrassment. The Ramban says that upon hearing of Yosef’s sale, the Egyptians would view the brothers as betrayers and would reason that if that is the way they treated their own brother, they certainly could not be trusted to live in Egypt and visit in its palace. The Da’at Zekeinim echoes this idea but also extends it, in showing how the matter of the sale was a bigger secret than we might assume. They claim that not only did Yaakov not know about the sale, but even Binyamin, who was not with his brothers at the time, did not know about it. In fact, they claim that Yosef broke his speech of revelation into two.

  • Daf Ditty Pesachim 78: Korban Pesach Today (?)
    Daf Ditty Pesachim 78: Korban Pesach today (?) Three girls in Israel were detained by the Israeli Police (2018). The girls are activists of the “Return to the Mount” (Chozrim Lahar) movement. Why were they detained? They had posted Arabic signs in the Muslim Quarter calling upon Muslims to leave the Temple Mount area until Friday night, in order to allow Jews to bring the Korban Pesach. This is the fourth time that activists of the movement will come to the Old City on Erev Pesach with goats that they plan to bring as the Korban Pesach. There is also an organization called the Temple Institute that actively is trying to bring back the Korban Pesach. It is, of course, very controversial and the issues lie at the heart of one of the most fascinating halachic debates in the past two centuries. 1 The previous mishnah was concerned with the offering of the paschal lamb when the people who were to slaughter it and/or eat it were in a state of ritual impurity. Our present mishnah is concerned with a paschal lamb which itself becomes ritually impure. Such a lamb may not be eaten. (However, we learned incidentally in our study of 5:3 that the blood that gushed from the lamb's throat at the moment of slaughter was collected in a bowl by an attendant priest and passed down the line so that it could be sprinkled on the altar). Our mishnah states that if the carcass became ritually defiled, even if the internal organs that were to be burned on the altar were intact and usable the animal was an invalid sacrifice, it could not be served at the Seder and the blood should not be sprinkled.

In doing so, I advance a new understanding of how the Bavli was composed, namely as a book written by its own readers in the act of transmission. In the latter half of the twentieth century, Bavli scholarship focused on the role of the Stam (the collective term for those people responsible for the anonymous voice of the Bavli) in the construction of individual Bavli passages (sugyot).

  • Judges) “In All Your Gates” That They Are to Judge the People with Righteous Judgment
    בייה PORTION DATE HEB DATE TORAH NEVIIM RENEWED Shoftim 18 Aug. 2018 7 Elul 5778 Deut. 16:18-21:9 Isa. 51:12-52:12 John 14:9-20 This week’s Torah portion starts with the qualification of shoftim (judges) “in all your gates” that they are to judge the people with righteous judgment. The Torah then describes how they are to judge against the accused. The Midrash questions the eligibility of judges. The immediate family of litigants are disqualified to judge as well as they are ineligible to testify as said, “The ahvot (fathers) shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the ahvot.” (Deut. 24:16) The Gemara interprets: fathers shall not be executed because of the testimony of sons, and vice versa.1 Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel (10 BCE-70 CE) said: Do not make light of justice, for it is one of the three legs of the world: justice, truth, and on peace. Therefore, we are to be mindful of not perverting justice as “you can cause the world to shake2 for it (justice) is one of the legs of Hashem’s Throne of Glory. “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne.” (Psa 85:15) The Proverbs 6:6-8 says, “Go to the ant, you lazy one; consider her halachot, and be wise: They have no guide, overseer, or ruler, yet she; Provides her food in the and gathers her food in the harvest.” The sages teach the ants has three stories in its home.

  • The Tripartite Structure in Sugyot from Tractate Eruvin of the Babylonian Talmud
    URI ZUR THE TRIPARTITE STRUCTURE IN SUGYOT FROM TRACTATE ERUVIN OF THE BABYLONIAN TALMUD Uri Zur Ariel University, Moreshet Israel, Ariel, Israel. Email: [email protected] Abstract: This article describes the tripartite structure, a formative style used in the redaction of some sugyot in Tractate Eruvin. The attitude to the tripartite structure is portrayed here as reflected by commentators and researchers who mentioned this pattern, whether directly or indirectly. The purpose of the article is to present several select examples of the tripartite structure in some sugyot in Tractate Eruvin. This will have the significant effect of illuminating different literary forms worthy of exploration, such as the tripartite structure here, as well as in other Talmudic sugyot whose focus is mainly halakhic. Sometimes the form utilized has a considerable effect on redaction of the contents, for example for understanding the sugya or solving various difficulties that it contains. These patterns are also evident in other additional sugyot and they constitute an important research foundation for examining their application in additional sugyot in the different tractates. Key Words: Tripartite, structures, sugya, Eruvin, Babylonian, Talmud, Halakhic, form, style, patterns. Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies, vol. 16, issue 47 (Summer 2017): 3-18. ISSN: 1583-0039 © SACRI Uri Zur The tripartite structure in sugyot 1. The tripartite structure and its significance This article is a development and expansion of an issue discussed in a study that deals with several sugyot (=passages) in the three first chapters of Tractate Eruvin (Zur 1999, 17). This study served as the basis for additional research on other sugyot in Tractate Eruvin, as a separate topic dealing with the tripartite structure of sugyot from Tractate Eruvin of the Babylonian Talmud (Zur 2016, 23).
