Thank you also to Rabbi Polakoff for all his support. The Haggadah, Arthur Szyk SCOPE Magazine Passover 2019 3 04 The Purim story begins with the Jews of Persia celebrating at a party made by Achashveirosh, trying to integrate them- selves into Persian society. The more they tried to be like A Message from our Rabbi everyone else, the less successful they were and the more Rabbi Dale Polakoff they were hated. However, when Mordechai stood firm in his beliefs and when the Jews of Persia realized that their sal- vation would only come from Hashem, the more they were embraced and respected by the people of Persia. Similarly, when the Jews of Egypt tried to be like the Egyp- tians and abandoned the practice of brit milah in an attempt to be like everyone else, the more the Egyptians disdained them. However, when the Jews of Egypt realized that their only hope of redemption was in turning to Hashem, Who, in turn, brought a year’s worth of plagues upon the Egyptians, it was then that the Jews were respected as a people. We live in a difficult and complex world where the tempta- tion to absolve ourselves of our distinctiveness is particularly strong. Wouldn’t it be nice to just not be so different? Yet the lessons of our adjoining holidays of Purim and Pesach teach us that the opposite is usually true, and that pride and belief in our values and traditions is often the cause of a higher stature in the eyes of our neighbors. Also, it’s the right thing to do. The addition of a second month of Adar, as occurs this year, Traises many interesting questions. Questions such as 1) in Ellen and I wish you and your family a chag kasher which month of Adar is the yahrzeit observed for someone v’sameiach. who died not in a leap year, and; 2) in which month of Adar does a boy become a Bar Mitzvah if he was born in a non leap year? Among these is the question asked by the Gema- ra in masechet Megillah concerning the proper time to read the megillah and celebrate the holiday of Purim. Rabbi Eliezer Rabbi Polakoff says that the megillah should be read in the first Adar, in the month next to Shvat. His reasoning is that by waiting until the second Adar, we would be “passing over” the opportunity to do these mitzvot. Rabbi Shimon disagrees, and is of the opinion that the megillah should be read in the second Adar in order to read about the redemption that occurred for the Jews of Persia in the month next to the month of redemption for all of the Jewish people, the month of Nisan. This is known in Hebrew as someich geulah l’geulah. The halacha is in accordance with Rabbi Shimon and Purim is observed in Adar II. Although it is possible to understand this principle as merely a chronological convenience, it’s also possible to understand the connection between Purim and Pesach as something more revealing about the nature of these redemptions. Rabbi Chaim Friedlander, z”l, mashgiach of the Ponizevh Ye- shiva and a student of Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler, understands that there is a common thread that runs between these two holidays of redemption.

  • Tehillat Hashem and Other Verses Before Birkat Ha-Mazon
    301 Tehillat Hashem and Other Verses Before Birkat Ha-Mazon By: ZVI RON In this article we investigate the origin and development of saying vari- ous Psalms and selected verses from Psalms before Birkat Ha-Mazon. In particular, we will attempt to explain the practice of some Ashkenazic Jews to add Psalms 145:21, 115:18, 118:1 and 106:2 after Ps. 126 (Shir Ha-Ma‘alot) and before Birkat Ha-Mazon. Psalms 137 and 126 Before Birkat Ha-Mazon The earliest source for reciting Ps. 137 (Al Naharot Bavel) before Birkat Ha-Mazon is found in the list of practices of the Tzfat kabbalist R. Moshe Cordovero (1522–1570). There are different versions of this list, but all versions include the practice of saying Al Naharot Bavel.1 Some versions specifically note that this is to recall the destruction of the Temple,2 some versions state that the Psalm is supposed to be said at the meal, though not specifically right before Birkat Ha-Mazon,3 and some versions state that the Psalm is only said on weekdays, though no alternative Psalm is offered for Shabbat and holidays.4 Although the ex- act provenance of this list is not clear, the parts of it referring to the recitation of Ps. 137 were already popularized by 1577.5 The mystical work Seder Ha-Yom by the 16th century Tzfat kabbalist R. Moshe ben Machir was first published in 1599. He also mentions say- ing Al Naharot Bavel at a meal in order to recall the destruction of the 1 Moshe Hallamish, Kabbalah in Liturgy, Halakhah and Customs (Ramat Gan: Bar Ilan University Press, 2000), pp.

KOEBNER'SCHE VERLAGSBUCHHANDLUNG. (BARASCH UND RIESENFELD.) 1915. Der jetzige Weltkrieg und die Bibel. Vortrag gehalten in der Wiener »Urania« am g. Januar 1915 von M. Güdemann. I. Nichts wird in der Bibel als so erstrebenswert hingestellt, kein Gut wird mit so warmen, eindringlichen Worten als der Güter höchstes gepriesen, wie der Friede. Der Priestersegen, der in allen Gotteshäusern, welcher Konfession sie dienen mögen, in verehrungsvoller Übung steht, lautet in seiner Kürze und Einfach- heit: »Der Herr segne dich und behüte dich. Der Herr lasse dir sein Antlitz leuchten und sei dir gnädig. Der Herr wende dir sein Antlitz zu und gebe dir Frieden.« Der ganze Satz ist bild- haft, nur ein Gut wird ausdrücklich namhaft gemacht und er- beten: das ist nicht Reichtum, nicht Ehre, Herrschaft, Macht und Größe, sondern dasjenige Gut, um das der Mächtigste, der es nicht besitzt, den Ärmsten beneidet, der es besitzt — der Friede. Wir werden diese hohe Veranschlagung des Friedens heute mehr als je begreifen, weil wir uns in einem Weltkriege, in einem Welt- brande befinden. Denn was heute alle im tiefsten Innern bewegt, was alle Herzen ausfüllt, alle Gemüter beseelt, das läßt sich unter Anwendung und entsprechender Umänderung eines be- kannten Goetheschen Satzes in die Worte zusammenfassen: »Nach Frieden drängt, am Frieden hängt doch alles«.

Inside front and inside back cover image: ‚ ‚ 31°49 10”N / 35°15 59”E Palestinian side of the Separation Wall on the outskirts of the Palestinian town of ʿAnata. The Israeli settlement of Pisgat Ze’ev lies beyond in East Jerusalem. This publication takes its point of departure from Fazal Sheikh’s Memory Trace, the first of his three-volume photographic proj- ect on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Published in the spring of 2015, The Erasure Trilogy is divided into three separate vol- umes—Memory Trace, Desert Bloom, and Independence/Nakba. The project seeks to explore the legacies of the Arab–Israeli War of 1948, which resulted in the dispossession and displacement of three quarters of the Palestinian population, in the establishment of the State of Israel, and in the reconfiguration of territorial borders across the region. Elements of these volumes have been exhibited at the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia, Storefront for Art and Architecture, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York, and will now be presented at the Al-Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art in East Jerusalem, and the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center in Ramallah. In addition, historical documents and materials related to the history of Al-’Araqīb, a Bedouin village that has been destroyed and rebuilt more than one hundred times in the ongoing “battle over the Negev,” first presented at the Slought Foundation, will be shown at Al-Ma’mal.

About the Research This book reviews the struggle for hegemony in Jerusalem between secular and ultra-orthodox (haredi) Jews. It examines the democratic deficit in urban politics formed by the rise of the haredi minority to power, and proposes ways to rectify this deficit. The study addresses the following questions: What are the characteristics of the urban democratic deficit? How did the haredi minority become a leading political force in the city? What are the implications of the democratic deficit from the perspective of the various cultural groups? What can be done in view of the fact that the non-haredi population is not only under-represented but also feels threatened and prejudiced by urban politics initiated by the city council? About the Floersheimer Institute for Policy Studies In recent years the importance of policy-oriented research has been increasingly acknowledged. Dr. Stephen H. Floersheimer initiated the establishment of a research institute that would concentrate on studies of long- range policy issues.

Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai, the author of the "Zohar" lived, studied and worked in the the 2nd Century, C.E., studying the deepest Kabbalistic secrets with his disciples in a cave near Tzfat called "Me'arat Ha'idra". It was there that they experienced the lofty spiritual and Heavenly revelations described in the Zohar. The entire Tzfat area is dotted with many graves of ancient Jewish sages and mystics, dating from the First Temple Era through the Middle Ages. These holy sites bear witness to the work and activities of Prophets and early Talmudic sages, who were also well-known mystics in their own right.
