In Shabbat 127a, we read: “These are the things for which a person enjoys the dividends in this world while the principal remains for the person to enjoy in the world to come. They are: honoring parents, loving deeds of kindness, and making peace between one person and another, but the framework for this Shavuot quarterly can be study of the Torah is equal to them all.” The task of teaching and studying Tanakh is found in the “advice to the teacher” by Da- weighty, for so much is riding on it.

Perhaps you’ve even used it yourself in response to some unkind phrase or words. Most of us, at some point in our lives, have both said something bad about another per- son and have had another person say something bad about us. We tend to think that what we said really didn’t hurt the other person, but we also tend to long remember the hurt that another person’s words have caused us.

  • Moses -- Exodus 2:1-10 David and Goliath (I Samuel 17:1-58)
    Moses -- Exodus 2:1-10 Exodus 2:1-10 New International Version (NIV) The Birth of Moses 2 Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman, 2 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. 3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket[a] for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. 4 His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him. 5 Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. 6 She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said. 7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?” 8 “Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother. 9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him. 10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son.

  • Classic Arguments for and Against the Death Penalty
    \\server05\productn\E\ELO\1-1\ELO105.txt unknown Seq: 1 25-NOV-09 10:39 INTRODUCTORY ESSAY CLASSIC ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY ©VICTOR STREIB* This death penalty symposium issue is an academic exploration of a wide variety of complex legal issues surrounding capital punishment law. It follows, then, that the authors of the articles examine these issues as academics, regardless of the political fallout from their find- ings. What this symposium issue is not, therefore, is a pro and con debate about the death penalty’s morality, legality, or effectiveness. The organizers of this symposium assume, however, that at least some of our audience at the symposium and the readers of this symposium issue would appreciate having a primer on the classic arguments for and against the death penalty.1 This is that primer, complete with ref- erences to guide readers to more complete information if they choose to pursue it.2 * Professor, Ohio Northern University College of Law; Senior Lecturing Fellow, Duke University School of Law. These materials are taken primarily from VICTOR STREIB, DEATH PENALTY IN A NUTSHELL 9-26 (3d ed. 2008). 1 Symposium attendees did benefit considerably from the oral presentation by Pro- fessor Arnold Loewy entitled The Death Penalty and Innocence, Elon Law Review Death Penalty Symposium (Nov. 21, 2008), based upon his previously published article, Police, Citizens, the Constitution, and Ignorance: The Systematic Value of Citizen Ignorance in Solving Crime, 39 TEX.

  • Exodus an Eye for an Eye Lesson 32 Exodus 21:12-36 120620
    Exodus An Eye for an Eye Lesson 32 Exodus 21:12-36 120620 Introduction 1 Two weeks ago we jumped back into our study in the book of Exodus right where we left off three years ago. a The Israelites had been miraculously freed from Egypt, led through the Red Sea and brought out into the dessert where God called them to be his people and formed them into his nation. b As a new nation under God they would need laws to govern them. And so God directly gave them ten timeless commandments to live before Him … and we took those up in great detail. 2 Now, three years later we are turning our attention to the next section of Exodus which Scripture itself calls the Book of the Covenant. a It comprises about three chapters and was given by God to teach his people how to apply the Ten Commandments to specific situations in a way the promoted love of God and neighbor. b And while these laws could never address every possible situation that might arise, they provided the basic spiritual and legal principles for the Israelites to live as the people of God. 3 As I mentioned last week this section of scripture is not written directly to us but it is written for us. a There is something to be learned from these verses because all scripture is God-breathed and useful for our instruction (2 Tim 3:16). The mistake often made regarding these laws is to either completely toss them or try to implement them at our next city council meeting.

  • 1 Kings 11:14-40 “Solomon's Adversaries”
    1 Kings 11:14-40 “Solomon’s Adversaries” 1 Kings 11:9–10 9 So the LORD became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the LORD God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, 10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep what the LORD had commanded. Where were the Prophets David had? • To warn Solomon of his descent into paganism. • To warn Solomon of how he was breaking the heart of the Lord. o Do you have friends that care enough about you to tell you when you are backsliding against the Lord? o No one in the Electronic church to challenge you, to pray for you, to care for you. All of these pagan women he married (for political reasons?) were of no benefit. • Nations surrounding Israel still hated Solomon • Atheism, Agnostics, Gnostics, Paganism, and Legalisms are never satisfied until you are dead – and then it turns to kill your children and grandchildren. Exodus 20:4–6 4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

    Where Justice and Mercy Meet: Catholic Opposition to the Death Penalty By David Matzko McCarthy, Trudy D. Conway, and Vicki Schieber, Editors Forward by Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ 6 SESSION/LESSON STUDY GUIDE SESSION 1: “The Death Penalty Today” [Text Chapters 1-3] AIM: To familiarize students with the reality of the death penalty today: how it works (or doesn’t), its application in the United States and around the world, and (in general terms) the U.S. legal/court system. Summary of the Readings: Chapter 1 “Facing the Truth” (pp. 3-15) Chapter 1 may be an uncomfortable piece for many to read. As explained by editors Vicki Schieber, Trudy D. Conway, and David Matzko McCarthy, “This opening chapter asks us to deal with what actually occurs in execution chambers across our country.” (p. 3) It challenges us to “face the realties of what American citizens ask prison officers to do in their [our] names.” (p. 3) Chapter 2 “Seeing Ourselves from an International Perspective” (pp. 16-30) Chapter 2 offers a broad overview of the current international response to the death penalty and its historical background. (p. 17) Students may be surprised (even shocked) to learn that the United States is the only Western democracy in the world to retain the death penalty, and joins with the likes of China, Iran, North Korea, and Yemen in executing more people than any other countries. As the editors note: “On the issue of capital punishment, our country seems to be inconsistent with its broader role in the world.” (p. 18) Chapter 3 “Trying to Get it Right” (pp.

  • Parashat Mishpatim 5778
    And These Are the Layers – Parashat Mishpatim 5778 Rabbi Michael Safra I’m not sure how good a story can be if I have to explain it first, but for this one it helps to know that the Shulkhan Arukh is a legal code from the 16th century, written by Rabbi Joseph Karo. In traditional circles, it was essentially the test for rabbinic ordination. It is divided into four sections – Orah Hayyim on rituals related to services and holidays; Yoreh Deah on ritual matters like Kashrut and tzedakkkah; Even Haezer on women and marriage; and Hoshen Mishpat on civil law. And it is printed like most rabbinic books, with the text occupying a small portion of the page and layers of interpretation all around. So it once happened that a young scholar approached the 18th-century Rabbi Barukh Frankel- Teomim and asked to be considered for ordination. The rabbi tested the young man and found his scholarship to be impeccable. He was baki, he knew well the complicated details of all four sections of the Shulkhan Arukh. Rabbi Frankel ordained him, and then he suggested: “Before you can be chosen as the rabbi of a community, you must first learn the fifth section of the Shulkhan Arukh.” “The fifth section?!?” The young scholar didn’t understand. “Everyone knows that there are only four sections of the Shulkhan Arukh.” “Yes,” the rabbi explained. “But for rabbis there is a fifth section that you must learn. And that is the etiquette of how to deal with people.” After some time, this young scholar, now the rabbi of a community, came back to Rabbi Frankel.

    Parshat Chayei Sarah SUMMARY • Abraham purchases the cave of Machpelah in order to bury his wife Sarah. (23:1-20) • Abraham sends his servant to find a bride for Isaac. (24:1-9) • Rebekah shows her kindness by offering to draw water for the servant's camels at the well. (24:15-20) • The servant meets Rebekah's family and then takes Rebekah to Isaac, who marries her. (24:23-67) • Abraham takes another wife, named Keturah. At the age of one hundred and seventy-five years, Abraham dies, and Isaac and Ishmael bury him in the cave of Machpelah. (25:1- 11) 1 Gen 24:10-20 (10) Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and set out, taking with him all the bounty of his master; and he made his way to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor. (11) He made the camels kneel down by the well outside the city, at evening time, the time when women come out to draw water. (12) And he said, “O LORD, God of my master Abraham, grant me good fortune this day, and deal graciously with my master Abraham: (13) Here I stand by the spring as the daughters of the townsmen come out to draw water; (14) let the maiden to whom I say, ‘Please, lower your jar that I may drink,’ and who replies, ‘Drink, and I will also water your camels’—let her be the one whom You have decreed for Your servant Isaac. Thereby shall I know that You have dealt graciously with my master.” (15) He had scarcely finished speaking, when Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, the son of Milcah the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder.
