    SHABBAT, FEBRUARY 29, 2020 - ADAR 4, 5780 PARSHAT TERUMAH (Pg. 444) TORAH INSIGHTS FROM RABBI ELI BABICH The Torah states that the walls of the Tabernacle (Mishkan) were made of large planks of acacia wood (Terumah 26:15). Construction of the Tabernacle commenced while the Jewish people were in the desert. As an abundance of wood is not natural in desert conditions, one can ask how the nation procured such large quantities of wood needed to con- struct the Tabernacle. Rashi commented, Our patriarch, Jacob, planted cedars in Egypt, and when he was dying, he commanded his sons to bring them up with them when they left Egypt. He told them that the Holy One, blessed is He, was destined to command them to make a Mishkan of acacia wood in the desert. In anticipation of the ultimate redemption, upon arrival in Egypt, Jacob ordered the planting of trees for the eventual use in the construction of the Tabernacle. Rabbi Yaakov Kaminetsky (1891- 1986) questioned the necessity of Jacob arranging for the planting of trees, as surely there were suitable trees in Egypt. Rabbi Kaminetsky suggested that Jacob planted the trees for psychological reasons. These trees served as a reminder that the enslaved Jewish people would one day be redeemed. Even though the promise of redemp- tion was widely known, the trees served as a tangible reminder, each and every day, of the ultimate salvation of the Jewish people. The nation routinely encountered these trees during their years of slavery, and for the nation, the trees were a physical symbol of hope.

Ohr Somayach-Monsey became an independent Yeshiva catering to Ba’alei Teshuvah in 1983.

  • RHETORIC of MODERN JEWISH ETHICS by Jonathan Kadane Crane a Thesis Submitted in Conformity with the Requirements for the Degree
    RHETORIC OF MODERN JEWISH ETHICS by Jonathan Kadane Crane A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Religion University of Toronto © Copyright by Jonathan Kadane Crane (2009) Rhetoric of Modern Jewish Ethics Jonathan Kadane Crane Ph.D. Graduate Department of Religion University of Toronto 2009 Abstract Jewish ethicists face a twofold task of persuading audiences that (a) their proposal for an issue of social concern and justice is the right and good thing to do, and (b) their proposal fits within the Judaic tradition writ large. Whereas most scholarship in the field focuses on how Jewish ethicists argue by dividing arguments into halakhic formalist, covenantalist and narrativist categories, these efforts fail both to reflect the diverse ways ethicists actually argue and to explain why they argue in these ways. My project proposes a new methodology to understand how and why Jewish ethicists argue as they do on issues of justice and concern. My project combines philosophical theology and discourse analysis. The first examines an ethicist’s notion of covenant ( brit ) in light of theories found in the Jewish textual tradition. Clarifying an ethicist’s notion of covenant uncovers that person’s assumptions about the scope and binding nature of elements in the Judaic tradition, and that person’s conception of an audience’s responsibilities to the normative argument s/he articulates. Certain themes come to the fore for each ethicist that, when mapped, reveal striking relationships between an ethicist’s notion of covenant and anticipated ethical rhetoric. These maps begin to show why certain ethicists argue as they do.

Projects Overview Looted Source: Cultural (1) Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal; http://www.nepip.org, last accessed Property on June 2014. Databases (2) Email correspondence with Brooke Leonard, Assistant Manager, Museums & Community Collaborations Abroad, AAM on March 30, 2012. The Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal (NEPIP) lists 19 museums (as of March 2014) that note holding Judaica with provenance gaps in their collections. These museums are: Ackland Art Museum, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Chrysler Museum of Art, Cincinnati Art Museum, Hillwood Museum and Gardens, Hood Museum of Art, Indiana University Art Museum, The Jewish Museum, Judaica Museum of the Hebrew Home at Riverdale, Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Mizel Museum, Museum of Art (Rhode Island School of Design), Museum of Fine Arts Houston, North Carolina Museum of Art, Smithsonian Institution, Spencer Museum of Art, Spurlock Museum, Toledo Museum of Art; (Please note that the number of museums that provide information on their Judaica collection has not changed in the last couple of years.) It is, however, not possible to view the individual Judaica items on NEPIP. The museums only provide a general listing of all art objects that have provenance gaps. A Claims Conference review of Judaica objects posted by U.S. museums on NEPIP, conducted in April 2012, revealed that only 128 Judaica objects with provenance gaps are in fact listed on NEPIP. Considering the otherwise large number of total objects posted (as of April 2012, there were 28,733 objects), this accounts for a rather small percentage: 0.4%.

Rev. 1239 (1972) This Article is brought to you for free and open access by BrooklynWorks. It has been accepted for inclusion in Faculty Scholarship by an authorized administrator of BrooklynWorks. CHOICE-OF-LAW IN CONTRACTS-SOME THOUGHTS ON THE WEINTRAUB APPROACH Aaron D. Twerski* Two score less three years ago Professor Beale brought to this country the First Restatement of Conflicts dedicated to two proposi- tions. The first of these propositions was that the basic organizing principle in the conflict of laws was a "territorial" one.1 The second was that "territorialism" rigidly dictated the result in every choice of law case since only the territory in which a given juridical event took place had the power to vest rights in the future parties litigant.2 In his chapter on Contracts, Professor Weintraub has demonstrated that the rigid rules dictated by the vested-rights theory are untenable. He has indeed replaced them with a set of rules for the resolution of true conflict cases which appear to be both flexible operationally and sub- stantively just.8 Yet, it seems to me, there are two major flaws in the Weintraub-Contracts chapter. First, he evades or avoids almost en- tirely the impact of territorial considerations on choice-of-law in Con- tracts.
