  • A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources
    A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources Report of the Planning Committee, Conference On Jewish Material Claims Against Germany June 28, 2000 25 Sivan 5760 1 Rabbi Israel Miller, President, Conference On Jewish Material Claims Against Germany 15 East 26 Street New York, New York Dear Israel, I am pleased to enclose A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources, the report of the distinguished Planning Committee which I have had the honor of chairing. The Committee has completed a thoughtful ten-month process, carefully reviewing the issues and exploring a variety of options before coming to the conclusions contained in this document. We trust that you will bring these recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Claims Conference for review and action. Through this experience, I have become convinced that the work of the Claims Conference is not adequately understood or appreciated. I hope that this report and the results of this planning process will help dispel the confusion about the past and future achievements of the Claims Conference. No amount of money can compensate for the destruction of innocent human beings and thriving communities or the decimation of the Jewish people as a whole by the Nazis. We can try to use available resources - specifically the proceeds of the sale of communal and unclaimed property in the former East Germany - to respond to the most critical needs related to the consequences of the Shoah. This is what the enclosed Plan tries to accomplish. I want to thank the members of the Committee who came from near and far for their attendance and commitment, and for the high quality of their participation.

C-MATS Question: What were the final words of Moses? These final words of Moses are a combination of blessing and prophecy, in which he blesses each tribe according to its national responsibilities and individual greatness. Moses' blessings were a continuation of Jacob's, as if to say that the tribes were blessed at the beginning of their national existence and again as they were about to begin life in Israel. Moses directed his blessings to each of the tribes individually, since the welfare of each tribe depended upon that of the others, and the collective welfare of the nation depended upon the success of them all (Pesikta). came from Sinai and from Seir He dawned on them; He shined forth from יהוה ,And he (Moses) said 2 Mount Paran and He came with ten thousands of holy ones: from His right hand went a fiery commandment for them. came to Israel from Seir and יהוה ?present the Torah to the Israelites יהוה Question: How did had offered the Torah to the descendants of יהוה Paran, which, as the Midrash records, recalls that Esau, who dwelled in Seir, and to the Ishmaelites, who dwelled in Paran, both of whom refused to accept the Torah because it prohibited their predilections to kill and steal.

  • REUBEN AHRONI an Appreciation
    REUBEN AHRONI An Appreciation by Y edida Kalfon Stillman State University of New York, Binghamton It is a very pleasant task, indeed, to write a few words of appreciation about Reuben Ahroni for this volume which is dedicated to him. I have not only read many of his scholarly publications in English and Hebrew, and have even reviewed one his books, but I have also had the pleasure and privilege of knowing this learned, modest, and gentle person as a colleague and a friend. His innate sweetness and genuine, unfeigned humility have endeared Reuben Ahroni to all who know him. I, in particular, have always felt a certain kinship with Reuben due to our shared backgrounds as Jews from Arab countries who grew up in the young State of Israel, completed our advanced studies in the United States, and have made our academic careers in this country. Reuben Ahroni hailed from the ancient Jewish community of southern Arabia, a community whose origins go back to biblical times. He was born to a large family of eleven in the British Crown Colony of Aden. The Adeni community combined the religious traditionalism of their Yemenite brethren in the interior with a modem world outlook fostered by modern education under the British aegis. Like most Adeni Jews, Reuben's family had strong Zionist sympathies, and as a boy, he was active in a labor-oriented Zionist youth group. At the age of eleven, Reuben experienced firsthand the devestation that engulfed Adeni Jewry when from December 2 to 4, 1947, shortly after the United Nations voted to partition Palestine, anti-Jewish riots broke out that left eighty-two Jews dead, a similar number injured, and the synagogue, the two schools, and hundreds of Jewish homes and most Jewish businesses destroyed.

    Family of Abraham Terah ? Haran Nahor Sarai - - - - - ABRAM - - - - - Hagar Lot Milcah Bethuel Ishmael (1) ISAAC (2) Daughter 1 Daughter 2 Ishmaelites (12 tribes / Arabs) Laban Rebekah Moabites Ammonites JACOB (2) Esau (1) Leah Rachel Edomites (+Zilpah) (+Bilhah) ISRAELITES Key: blue = men; red = women; (12 tribes / Jews) dashes = spouses; arrows = children Terah: from Ur of the Chaldeans; has 3 sons; wife not named (Gen 11:26-32; cf. Luke 3:34). Haran: dies in Ur before his father dies; wife not named; son Lot, daughters Milcah & Iscah (11:27-28). Nahor: marries Milcah, daughter of his brother Haran (11:29); have 8 sons, incl. Bethuel (22:20-24). Abram: main character of Gen 12–25; recipient of God’s promises; name changed to ABRAHAM (17:5); sons Ishmael (by Hagar) and Isaac (by Sarah); after Sarah’s death, takes another wife, Keturah, who has 6 sons (25:1-4), including Midian, ancestor of the Midianites (37:28-36). Lot: son of Haran, thus nephew of Abram, who takes care of him (11:27–14:16; 18:17–19:29); wife and two daughters never named; widowed daughters sleep with their father and bear sons, who become ancestors of the Moabites and Ammonites (19:30-38). Sarai: Abram’s wife, thus Terah’s daughter-in-law (11:29-31); Abram also calls her his “sister,” which seems deceptive in one story (12:10-20); but in another story Abram insists she really is his half- sister (his father’s daughter by another wife; 20:1-18); originally childless, but in old age has a son, Isaac (16:1–21:7); name changed to SARAH (17:15); dies and is buried in Hebron (23:1-20).

  • Joseph's Brothers: Guilt, Repentance, Remorse
    Joseph’s Brothers: Guilt, Repentance, Remorse Parashat Mikeitz, Genesis 41:1-44:17 & Parashat Va-yigash, Genesis 44:18-47:27 By Mark Greenspan ―Repentance‖ by David Lincoln (pp. 412) in The Observant Life Introduction One of the central themes in living a spiritual life is t‟shuvah, repentance. More than just an idea, t‟shuvah is a way of life: we are constantly striving to return to a fuller and more whole vision of self. While we tend to focus on themes relating to repentance on the High Holy Days, t‟shuvah is a year-round concern. This is best reflected in the words of Rabbi Eliezer who taught: ―Repent one day before your death.‖ When his students asked, ―Does one know on what day he will die?‖ Rabbi Eliezer answered, ―All the more reason one should repent today, lest one die tomorrow‖ (BT Shabbat 153a). T‟shuvah literally means ‗return.‘ To what does one return? How can one know when repentance (our own and that of others) is sincere? How is repentance before God different from repentance for harm caused to human beings? What role does Yom Kippur play in bringing about repentance? We gain some insight into the complexity of this unending process in the words of the sages: ―Yom Kippur atones for sins against God. Yom Kippur does not atone for sins against another human being until one has placated the person offended‖ (Mishnah Yoma 8:9). David Lincoln suggests that the Bible deals almost exclusively with communal rather than individual repentance. This may be true, but one can argue that the story of Joseph is a dramatic story of individual repentance.

  • Genesis 37: Joseph the Just
    Genesis 37: Joseph the Just I. Typology A. Perhaps among all the images of Christ we have seen thus far, Joseph portrays Christ. B. Rather than go through all the details now, let us examine them as we proceed through the chapters. Yet a quick overview of the broad outlines is helpful. 1. He is a beloved son 2. Whose own brothers turn on him and sell him for silver 3. Yet this very fact of his suffering becomes their salvation for Joseph goes on ahead to Egypt to save both his own family and the Gentiles. 4. A suffering son and servant becomes, through his suffering the savior of all people and has a place at the king’s right hand. 5. Sound familiar? C. Though some modern Bible scholars are dismissive of typology the Bible itself indicates that the Old Testament must be read in light of the New Testament and that the O.T. points to Christ. Hence we are right in seeing Christ in the O.T. according to an interpretive principle laid down in the Bible itself. In the O.T. Jesus is enfolded, in the New Testament he is unfolded. In the O.T. Jesus is concealed, in the N.T. he is revealed. It is a mistake to think the O.T. is merely about Jews and the N.T. about Jesus. It’s all about Jesus. 1. 1 Cor 10:11 These things happened to them as examples1 and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.

  • V‟ZOT HA‟BERACHAH – “And This Is the Blessing”
    V‟ZOT HA‟BERACHAH – “And this is the Blessing” DEUTERONOMY (D‟VARIM 33:1 – 34:12) INTRODUCTION: 1. This portion describes what happened on the very last day of Moses‟s life. 2. Following in the tradition established by Jacob goes from tribe to tribe to blessing them. a. Like Jacob, Moses‟ blessing combines prophecy with the blessings. 3. Before leaving them, Moses gives a general blessing to the entire nation: “There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun, who rides on the heaven as your help.” 4. Because this is the last portion, this is the one read on Simchat Torah – rejoicing in the Torah – when the annual cycle is completed. a. Simchat Torah marks when the scroll is rolled back to the Beginning. b. Can‟t help but think of what Scripture has to say as all things are being restored: “Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.” - Revelation 6:14 CHAPTER 33: THE BLESSING 1. Verse 1: “And this is the blessing (v’zot ha’berachah).” a. The Song was an admonition describing punishments for disobedience. b. The Blessings describe Israel‟s ultimate destiny determined by God. 2. This is Moses‟ last act – to bless the ones who were, indirectly, responsible for his transgression which made it impossible for him to cross over into the land. a. When others might be tempted to curse, he blessed. b. He could do no less that Bila‟am who sought to curse but could only bless.
