  • When Unity Reigned: Yom Ha-Azma’Ut 1954
    51 When Unity Reigned: Yom ha-Azma’ut 1954 By: ELAZAR MUSKIN A number of years ago while I rummaged through a box of old pa- pers and memorabilia that belonged to my late father, Rabbi Jacob Muskin z”l, of Cleveland, Ohio, a stained yellow mimeographed paper fell on my lap. As I picked it up, I began to realize that I was holding an historic document. The paper was folded in half and on the front cover it read, “Sixth Anniversary Celebration Israel Independence Day, Sunday May 9, 1954, Iyar 6, 5714.” The front cover also indicated the loca- tion of the celebration, The Taylor Road Synagogue Auditorium in Cleveland Heights, Ohio and noted that the event was sponsored by an organization called “The Orthodox Jewish Association of Cleveland.”1 1 In my letter to Rabbi Shubert Spero dated 2 July, 1997 I asked him a number of questions including: What was this sponsoring organization “The Orthodox Jewish Association”? How long did it exist? Who was Dr. David Magid, its President? In his letter dated 19 August, 1997 Rabbi Spero responded: “Shortly after my arrival in Cleveland I was called to a meeting with Rabbis E.M. Bloch and C.M. Katz z”l (who were very close to my late uncles, H.I. and B.E. Spero z”l, who were instrumental in bringing the Yeshiva to Cleveland) who told me that the Roshei Yeshiva did not wish to isolate themselves from the ‘city’ but rather saw themselves as a part of the general commu- nity and, given the sad state of Orthodoxy, felt a religious obligation to work for the ideals of Torah.

  • The Lithuanian Jewish Community of Telšiai
    The Lithuanian Jewish Community of Telšiai By Philip S. Shapiro1 Introduction This work had its genesis in an initiative of the “Alka” Samogitian Museum, which has undertaken projects to recover for Lithuanians the true history of the Jews who lived side-by-side with their ancestors. Several years ago, the Museum received a copy of the 500-plus-page “yizkor” (memorial) book for the Jewish community of Telšiai,2 which was printed in 1984.3 The yizkor book is a collection of facts and personal memories of those who had lived in Telšiai before or at the beginning of the Second World War. Most of the articles are written in Hebrew or Yiddish, but the Museum was determined to unlock the information that the book contained. Without any external prompting, the Museum embarked upon an ambitious project to create a Lithuanian version of The Telshe Book. As part of that project, the Museum organized this conference to discuss The Telshe Book and the Jewish community of Telšiai. This project is of great importance to Lithuania. Since Jews constituted about half of the population of most towns in provincial Lithuania in the 19th Century, a Lithuanian translation of the book will not only give Lithuanian readers a view of Jewish life in Telšiai but also a better knowledge of the town’s history, which is our common heritage. The first part of this article discusses my grandfather, Dov Ber Shapiro, who was born in 1883 in Kamajai, in the Rokiškis region, and attended the Telshe Yeshiva before emigrating in 1903 to the United States, where he was known as “Benjamin” Shapiro.

  • Vertientes Del Judaismo #3
    CLASES DE JUDAISMO VERTIENTES DEL JUDAISMO #3 Por: Eliyahu BaYonah Director Shalom Haverim Org New York Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • La Ortodoxia moderna comprende un espectro bastante amplio de movimientos, cada extracción toma varias filosofías aunque relacionados distintamente, que en alguna combinación han proporcionado la base para todas las variaciones del movimiento de hoy en día. • En general, la ortodoxia moderna sostiene que la ley judía es normativa y vinculante, y concede al mismo tiempo un valor positivo para la interacción con la sociedad contemporánea. Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • En este punto de vista, el judaísmo ortodoxo puede "ser enriquecido" por su intersección con la modernidad. • Además, "la sociedad moderna crea oportunidades para ser ciudadanos productivos que participan en la obra divina de la transformación del mundo en beneficio de la humanidad". • Al mismo tiempo, con el fin de preservar la integridad de la Halajá, cualquier área de “fuerte inconsistencia y conflicto" entre la Torá y la cultura moderna debe ser evitada. La ortodoxia moderna, además, asigna un papel central al "Pueblo de Israel " Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • La ortodoxia moderna, como una corriente del judaísmo ortodoxo representado por instituciones como el Consejo Nacional para la Juventud Israel, en Estados Unidos, es pro-sionista y por lo tanto da un estatus nacional, así como religioso, de mucha importancia en el Estado de Israel, y sus afiliados que son, por lo general, sionistas en la orientación. • También practica la implicación con Judíos no ortodoxos que se extiende más allá de "extensión (kiruv)" a las relaciones institucionales y la cooperación continua, visto como Torá Umaddá.

  • The Corona Ushpizin
    אושפיזי קורונה THE CORONA USHPIZIN Rabbi Jonathan Schwartz PsyD Congregation Adath Israel of the JEC Elizabeth/Hillside, NJ סוכות תשפא Corona Ushpizin Rabbi Dr Jonathan Schwartz 12 Tishrei 5781 September 30, 2020 משה תקן להם לישראל שיהו שואלים ודורשים בענינו של יום הלכות פסח בפסח הלכות עצרת בעצרת הלכות חג בחג Dear Friends: The Talmud (Megillah 32b) notes that Moshe Rabbeinu established a learning schedule that included both Halachic and Aggadic lessons for each holiday on the holiday itself. Indeed, it is not only the experience of the ceremonies of the Chag that make them exciting. Rather, when we analyze, consider and discuss why we do what we do when we do it, we become more aware of the purposes of the Mitzvos and the holiday and become closer to Hashem in the process. In the days of old, the public shiurim of Yom Tov were a major part of the celebration. The give and take the part of the day for Hashem, it set a tone – חצי לה' enhanced not only the part of the day identified as the half of the day set aside for celebration in eating and enjoyment of a חצי לכם for the other half, the different nature. Meals could be enjoyed where conversation would surround “what the Rabbi spoke about” and expansion on those ideas would be shared and discussed with everyone present, each at his or her own level. Unfortunately, with the difficulties presented by the current COVID-19 pandemic, many might not be able to make it to Shul, many Rabbis might not be able to present the same Derashos and Shiurim to all the different minyanim under their auspices.

GE.21-08499(E) A/HRC/47/NGO/211 Forcible Displacement of Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan Palestinians commemorated the 73rd anniversary of the Nakba amid similar circumstances of forced displacement and dispossession in Jerusalem. In 1948, 75 percent of the Palestinian indigenous population was expelled from their towns and villages. Today, Israel is still trying to displace a number of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem and Palestinians continue to stand up against Israel’s policies and the ever present threat of forced transfer despite the continuous attacks by the Israeli Occupying Forces (IOF). Forcible Displacement The latest crackdown on Palestinians in ‘48, the West Bank including East Jerusalem, and Gaza clearly demonstrates the institutionalized policy aimed at maintaining settler colonial and apartheid system over the Palestinian people as a whole. Palestinians have been resisting forced displacement, dispossession, and ethnic cleansing in various cities and neighborhoods since 1948. Today, families in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah and in Silwan are fighting to save their homes in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan, more than 1,0001 Palestinians remain under threat of forced displacement from their homes and land.
