" Literally, this term means "ransom'' -- to pay a s um of money in order to effect the release of slaves or prisoners. But the term "Pidyon Shevuyim'' has come to connote more than this: it refers to our duty to help free our fellow Jews held in various states of bondage or oppression through every possible means. In this seminar, various translations for "Pidyon Shevuyim" -- to "ransom", "redeem", "free", or "release" capti ves -- will be used interchangeably, depending upon the context. The purpose of this seminar is to place the mitzvah of "Pidyon Shevuyim" in historical perspective, to explore the various facets of this mitzvah by studying classical Jewish texts related to its observance, and to relate these texts to the modern-day i mperative to free endangered Jews • The preparatory materials for this seminar include several background articles which describe the origins and development of the concept of "Pidyon Shevuyim" and how it was applied in • various historical situations, particularly during medieval times.

  • Freeing the Captive- How Far Must We Go to Save a Person? YK 2014 Rabbi Nancy Rita Myers
    1 Freeing the Captive- how far must we go to save a person? YK 2014 Rabbi Nancy Rita Myers Life and death play a prominent role in our High Holy liturgy. On Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur, we read the Untaneh Tokef prayer where we recite, “On Rosh Hashanah it is written, on Yom Kippur it is sealed: How many shall pass on, how many shall come to be: Who shall live and who shall die, who shall see ripe age and who shall not.” The list continues by the listing the ways one’s life could end by fire, water, sword, beast, hunger, thirst, earthquake, and etc. This prayer expresses our mortality. We don’t know how or when we will die but we are all certain that it will happen, hopefully not for many, many years to come. On Yom Kippur, we are taught that our fate is sealed. Life and death during our High Holy Days hangs in the balance as we scrutinize our actions and words in the hope that through teshvuah, tzedakah, u’tefillah, repentance, charity, and prayer, the severe degree of death is tempered and that we are granted another year of life. Two men’s lives were sealed prematurely. Almost two years ago, James Foley, a photo journalist, was taken captive by the Islamic terrorist group, known as ISIS. As a journalist he repeatedly went to war torn countries. He had even been taken captive in Libya and was held for 44 days.1 ISIS initially demanded 123 million dollars for his release. At the beginning of the summer, our government attempted to rescue him and other hostages.

    Judaica Olomucensia 2015/2 Editor-in-Chief Louise Hecht Editor Matej Grochal Table of Content 4 Introduction Louise Hecht 8 Mobility of Jewish Captives between Moravia and the Ottoman Empire in the Second Half of the Seventeenth Century Markéta Pnina Younger 33 Making Paratextual Decisions: On Language Strategies of Moravian Jewish Scribes Lenka Uličná 54 The Beauty of Duty: A new look at Ludwig Winder’s novel Ingeborg Fiala-Fürst 69 The Mapping Wall: Jewish Family Portraits as a Memory Box Dieter J. Hecht 89 Table of Images Judaica Olomucensia 2015/2 – 3 Introduction Louise Hecht The four papers published in this volume are not dedicated to one single topic. They were primarily selected according to scholarly quality. Nevertheless, they are bound together by their relation to Moravia. The focus on Moravian (and eventually also Czech) Jewish studies is a special concern of Judaica Olo- mucensia that distinguishes our journal from other Jewish studies journals in the world. In explicit or implicit ways, there seems to be an additional theme that links the four contributions, namely their connection to migra- tion. Indeed, two of the papers (Markéta Pnina Younger and Dieter J. Hecht) are the result of the international conference “The Land in-Between: Three Centuries of Jewish Migration to, from and across Moravia, 1648–1948”, orga- nized by myself and Michael L. Miller at the Kurt and Ursula Schubert Center for Jewish Studies in November 2012. Obviously, the topic of migration has gained currency in political and social debates in Europe and beyond during the last years. Questions of inte- gration, acculturation, religious (in)compatibility and, especially in Central Europe, linguistic assimilation of the migrant population are in the headlines of all media.

Hard Choices is a series of resources that look at public policy issues through the lense President of Conservative Judaism. We offer this in response to your request that we help rabbis clearly articulate Rabbi Gilah Dror the relevance of Conservative Judaism’s approach in grappling with the challenges of the day. Executive Vice President Rabbi Julie Schonfeld Hard Choices is the framework for a resource guide on matters of public policy. Conservative Judaism has a unique contribution to make in the public square. It has often been pointed out and is certainly Vice President true that our congregants and students represent a more heterogeneous polity than the other major Rabbi Gerald C. Skolnik Jewish movements. This diversity ought to bring us more deeply into exploration of social issues, not Treasurer less so. Rabbi William G. Gershon Jewish tradition demands the voice of the minority be heard. As a Tradition that defines itself in terms Financial Secretary of a holy community, such practice also ensures that the minority view to temper the legislative power Rabbi Philip S. Scheim of the majority. Thus the decision making of the majority is refined and the interests of the minority Secretary better represented. Hence, Judaism can inform the conduct of a civil society, as the attached texts and Rabbi Debra Newman Kamin resources richly attest.
