Charity Toward Widows in Early Christian Communities CHARITY TOWARD WIDOWS IN EARLY CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES By KEITH C. WESSEL A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 © 2017 Keith C. Wessel To my dear wife Liz Fallax gratia, et vana est pulchritudo: mulier timens Dominum, ipsa laudabitur. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank a number of people. First, my dissertation chair, Dr. Kostas Kapparis, for his help over the years and, especially, for his great patience throughout the process. I thank the additional members of my dissertation team: Dr. Louis Sussman; Dr. Mary Ann Eaverly; Dr. Andrea Sterk. Dr. Velvet Yates also has been more than helpful in helping distance students such as I navigate the administrative complexities of graduate school. I would like to recognize the encouragement of two mentors in particular, Dr. John Lawrenz and Dr. Glen Thompson who have provided much encouragement to pursue this path. Dr. Hans Fredrich Mueller (Molinarius) also deserves my thanks, as does Dr. Tim Johnson; both gave much encouragement to me upon entering Florida's graduate school. I am deeply indebted to my parents, Prof. Howard and Lucille Wessel, who raised me to understand the proper priorities in one's life. Little did I know at the onset that as this project came to its completion, my mother herself would join the ranks of Christian widows. I pray that the insights I have gained from this study may serve to be a blessing to her as she enters a new phase of life. Finally, I acknowledge with thanks the administration of Martin Luther College, who have so generously supported my continuing education. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  • Chayei-Sarah-Devar-Torah-Book
    © Copyright 2018 1760 Ocean Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11230 718.677.6886 [email protected] HaDaF Typesetting [email protected] Foreword R ABBI DANIEL ROSENSTEIN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE HEBRON FUND On the occasion of this special Shabbat Chayei Sarah in Chevron, 5779, The Hebron Fund is proud to present you with this booklet, a sample of our forthcoming book with divrei Torah on parshat hashavua related to Hebron. The book, titled “Hebron: Uniting with the Holy Presence,” has been authored by Rabbi Moshe Goodman, a prominent student of Kollel Ohr Shlomo in the Tel Rumeida neighborhood of Hebron. These divrei Torah originated as weekly parsha-related tidbits sent out by email that have now been transformed into a book. As you will see in the sample, the uniqueness of these divrei Torah is that they all link some element of the parsha to the city of Hebron specifically, as well as to the special halachic and spiritual qualities of the Land of Israel generally. While we look forward to sharing news of the book’s completion in the near future, dedication opportunities are still available. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the divrei Torah on Chayei Sarah that we’ve included here. It is our wish that these divrei Torah will be just the beginning of your own personal process of growth, searching for Hashem’s Presence in your life, and connecting to the greatness of Hebron and the Land of Israel. 3 Introduction The conceptualization of Israel as a husband and the Land of Israel as a wife is clearly seen in Tanach, in Halacha, and in Kabbalistic sources.

  • Rabbi Tzvi Yisrael Tau & Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh
    Unity and opposites in Israel’s settler movement: Rabbi Tzvi Yisrael Tau & Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh Tessa Dawn Satherley Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2015 School of Historical and Philosophical Studies The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper. 1 Abstract The thesis is motivated by the central question: can deep engagement with the nuances of contemporary settler religious discourse guide a more effective approach to negotiations with and about this group, especially regarding the future of “Judea and Samaria,” or “the occupied territories”? To address this, I investigate two key religious thinkers. The first is Rabbi Tzvi Yisrael Tau, a major religious Zionist intellectual and head of the leading mamlakhti1 yeshiva Har Ha-Mor, known for his calls for restraint in the face of anti-settlement policies. The second is Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh of Od Yosef Chai, often accused of inciting racism and encouraging aggressive protest tactics, and whose students have been at the vanguard of anti-Arab vigilante violence and the “price tag” campaign of recent years. This investigation reveals Tau’s predominantly monistic worldview, anchored in the “unity of opposites” paradigm at the heart of Avraham Kook’s teachings, and Ginsburgh’s relatively dualistic worldview, anchored in a dualistic interpretation of lurianic Kabbalah. These distinct symbolic worlds help explain the divergent political– historical interpretations, ethics, and political tactics among the rabbis’ adherents. Moreover, the analysis indicated which pro-negotiation arguments may be most persuasive among these different sectors—and which may be useless or disastrous. I show how Tau argues that settlements are a mere detail in Gush Emunim’s project, identifies Jewish unity as a supreme value, and calls for educational outreach in lieu of protests.

  • The Man Jesus Was-PDF
    The Man Jesus Was Out of the rebellious Galilee came a hero of the spirit who sought not to reform man, but to transform him. By Max Schoen Overview In The Man Jesus Was Max Schoen carries the reader on an exciting quest in search of the man from Galilee who, once he had spoken, could never be forgotten. From this quest Jesus emerges as the man who lived and died a Jew – the shameless blasphemer of ancient prophets, the militant enemy of Israel’s national existence. Here stands the real Jesus, a hero of the sprit, claiming no divinity, seeking no Messiahship, but raised above ridicule and scorn by an epic vision embracing all men. In freeing the personality of Jesus from the encrustations of religious dogma, in rediscovering the compelling forces of intellect, emotion, history and tradition that produced this genius, Dr, Schoen’s book constitutes much more than a courageous and reverent re-evaluation of the man who preached along the dusty roads of Galilee. It is, as well, a brilliant interpretation of the meaning of Jesus for our modern world. About Max Schoen Max Schoen was born in the Carpathian Mountains of Austria on February 11, 1888, and until the age of 14 was educated exclusively in the Jewish orthodox faith. Captivated by the character of Jesus, he abandoned his rabbinical studies and came to America shortly after the turn of the century. Although unable to speak English, he soon became happily adjusted to the public school system of New York City, and in 1911 received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of the City of New York.
