Page 1 CHAPTER EIGHTEEN on INFIĀL and IFTIĀL These Two Verb CHAPTER EIGHTEEN ON INFIʿĀL AND IFTIʿĀL These two verb types are intransitive. Conjugational patterns of .הִבָנֵה ,הִשָׁחֵט ,הִמָלֵט ,.the type of inʿāl do not contain a taw, e.g A conjugational pattern of the type of iftiʿāl has a taw that nev- -The taw of iftiʿāl does not oc .הִתְאַמֵץ ,הִתְמַכֵר er disappears, as in cur between radicals, unless the #rst radical is a samekh, a ṣadi or a shin. Other letters do not come before the taw, as do samekh, ,(Micah 6:16) וישתמר חקות עמרי ,(Eccl. 12:5) ויסתבל החגב ,.ṣadi and shin, e.g and similar cases. An exception to this is one word beginning in a -Jer. 49:3), in which the taw occurs be) והתשוטטנה בגדרות ,shin, namely fore the shin. As for ṣadi, they said that the people of the lan- guage substituted a ṭet for the taw after the ṣadi in order to ease ומה ,(Josh. 9:4) וילכו ויצטירו ,(Josh. 9:12) חם הצטידנו אותו ,.pronunciation, e.g .(Gen. 44:16) נצטדק Take note that the taw of iftiʿāl cannot be confused with the fu- ture pre#x taw, because the taw of iftiʿāl is stable in the entire paradigm, but the future pre#x taw is not. Moreover, the vocali- sation of the taw of iftiʿāl is a shewa in all cases when it does not occur between the #rst and the second radical. But the pre#xes can be vocalised with a shewa or other vowels. Moreover, a א֗ ֗ י ֗ נ ת֗ word can never begin in the taw of iftiʿāl, but another letter must come before it, be it a heh, a mem, or a future pre#x. And a future pre#x can sometimes be in the beginning of a word, or can be preceded by another letter. However, it cannot be preceded by ei- ther a mem, or another future pre#x. Indeed, two future pre#xes, be they identical or di"erent, cannot occur together, because if di"erent (pre#xes) occurred together, they would contradict each ful#ls a function that is א֗ ֗ י ֗ נ ת֗ other, since each of the pre#xes di"erent from the function of another. And if identical (pre#xes) CHAPTER EIGHTEEN 319 באב פי אלאנפעאל ואלאפתעאל ֗הדין א֗לגנסין המא פי אלנפס גיר מתעדיין פתצאריף אלאנפעאל לא יכון פיהאָות כ ק֗ ִָהמלֵט ִָהחשֵׁט ִָהבנֵה. ותצריף אלאפתעאל יכון פי[ה]ָות לא יפארקה כקולה ְִַהתמכֵרְִַהתאמֵץוָות אלאפתעאל לא יתוסט בין אלחרוף אלאצלייה אלא אן יכון אול [א]לחרוף אלאצלייהא סמאך או צדי או שין פאמא אן כאן גיר ֗דלך פלא יתקדמה אלחרף אלאצלי כמא יתקדמה אלסמאך ואלצדי ואלשיןמת֗ל ויסתבל החגב וישתמר חקות עמרי ֗ואמתאלהמאואלד֗יכ֗ר[ ג֗ ] ען [ ד֗ ]לךלפט֗ה ואחדה עלי אלשין והי והתשוטטנהב בגדרות פאן ג֗א אלָות פיהא קבל אלשין פאמאג אלצדי פאןד קאלו אן אהל אללגה אתו באלטית ֗עוצא מן אלת[ו] /בעד אלצדי/ אסת֗כפאפא ללכלאם כ ק֗ [ח]ם הצטידנו אותו וי[לכו] ויצטירו ומה נצ[ט]דק. ואעלם אנה לא ילתבס ת[ו] אל[א]פתעאל <בָות אלאסתקבאל ל֗תבותָות ה אלאפתעאל> פי ֗גמיע אלתצריף מן דון ָות אלא[ס]תקבאל. ולאן ָות אלאפתעאל לא יכון נקטה דאימא אל[א] שוא מהמא לא יתוסט בין פא אלפעל ועינה.

  • Torah from JTS Worship, JTS
    Exploring Prayer :(בלה תדובע) Service of the Heart This week’s column was written by Rabbi Samuel Barth, senior lecturer in Liturgy and Torah from JTS Worship, JTS. Simhat Torah: Which Way When the Circle Ends Bereishit 5774 The annual celebration of Simhat Torah brings great joy to so many of us of all generations, and it is a fitting and triumphant conclusion to the long and multifaceted season of intense Jewish observance and focus that began (a little before Rosh Hashanah) with Selichot. In Israel and in congregations observing a single day of festivals, Simhat Torah is blended with Shemini Atzeret, offering the intense experience in the morning of Hallel, Hakkafot (processions with dancing) and Geshem (the prayer for Rain). At the morning service of Simhat Torah there are four linked biblical readings (three from the Parashah Commentary Torah), and the relationship among them invites us to think about the flow of sacred text in a multidimensional context. The first reading is Vezot HaBrakha, the last chapters of Deuteronomy This week’s commentary was written by Dr. David Marcus, professor of Bible, containing the final blessings from Moses to the community—and the account of the death of Moses, alone with God on Mount Nebo. To receive the final aliyah after everyone else present JTS. has been called to the Torah is considered a great honor, and the person with this honor is called up with a special formula (a short version is presented in Siddur Sim Shalom for Shabbat Bereishit with a Capital Bet and Festivals, 215) that affirms, “May it be the will of the One Most Powerful to grant abundant blessings to [insert the name of the one called] who has been chosen to complete the Torah.” With this week’s parashah, we once again commence the cycle of reading the Torah from the first chapter of Genesis, which begins with the Hebrew word bereishit.

  • A Very Virtual Holiday
    A Very Virtual Holiday HOW TO PLAY DREIDEL A GAME PLAYED DURING THE JEWISH FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS, MEANING “TURN AROUND” MATERIALS NEEDED To play you’ll need a special top, called a dreidel, as well as several game pieces which can be poker chips, chocolate pieces, pennies or anything else you would like to use. Here is a link you can follow for how to make a dreidel at home using a sheet of paper and a pencil: https://youtu.be/TheEkZetsRI WHAT DO THE LETTERS ON THE DREIDEL STAND FOR? Each Hebrew letter on the dreidel stands for a word in the phrase “nes gadol haya sham,” meaning “a great miracle happened there.” This refers to the miracle of one day’s worth of oil lasting for eight days, which is why we celebrate Hanukkah today. If you find yourself playing dreidel in Israel you’ll notice that one letter is different, as “a great miracle happened here.” Below is a quick guide to each letter on the dreidel. Letter Name Dreidel Word Game Action Nun Nes Nothing happens “miracle” Gimmel Gadol Get everything in pot “great” Hey Haya Half of pot is yours (if odd number take ½+1) “happened” Shin Sham Shame! You must put 1 back into the pot. “there” HOW TO PLAY 1. To start the game, everyone gets 20 game pieces (feel free to change the amount depending on how long you want to play). 2. Each player puts 4 game pieces into the middle to create the pot. 3. Each player takes turns spinning the dreidel.

The recent preliminary proposal by Dr. Anshuman Pandey (L2/18-276) might therefore signal a resurgence of activities towards the noble goal of encoding of Book Pahlavi in the Unicode standard. I started reading the work of Dr. Pandey with enthusiasm and in antic- ipation of further improvement and suggestions and perhaps discovery of new characters. It was indeed pleasant to see a relatively thorough classica- tion of the visual joining of the stem of the characters of Book Pahlavi, while taking the base-line into consideration. Such studies will be very benecial for the future type designers of Book Pahlavialthough I have doubts about the applicability of this study to the level of abstraction pertaining to the Unicode standard.

THE MOSAIC MONTHLY ESSAY • EPISODE 2 June: The Truth of the Capture of Adolf Eichmann 1x 00:00|60:58 Sixty years ago last month, on the evening of May 23, 1960, the Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion made a brief but dramatic announcement to a hastily-summoned session of the Knesset in Jerusalem: A short time ago, Israeli security services found one of the greatest of the Nazi war criminals, Adolf Eichmann, who was responsible, together with the Nazi leaders, for what they called “the final solution” of the Jewish question, that is, the extermination of six million of the Jews of Europe. Eichmann is already under arrest in Israel and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel under the terms of the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators. In the cabinet meeting immediately preceding this announcement, Ben-Gurion’s ministers had expressed their astonishment and curiosity.

  • Israel 2020 Human Rights Report
    ISRAEL 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. Although it has no constitution, its parliament, the unicameral 120-member Knesset, has enacted a series of “Basic Laws” that enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a “state of emergency,” which has been in effect since 1948. Under the Basic Laws, the Knesset has the power to dissolve itself and mandate elections. On March 2, Israel held its third general election within a year, which resulted in a coalition government. On December 23, following the government’s failure to pass a budget, the Knesset dissolved itself, which paved the way for new elections scheduled for March 23, 2021. Under the authority of the prime minister, the Israeli Security Agency combats terrorism and espionage in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. The national police, including the border police and the immigration police, are under the authority of the Ministry of Public Security. The Israeli Defense Forces are responsible for external security but also have some domestic security responsibilities and report to the Ministry of Defense. Israeli Security Agency forces operating in the West Bank fall under the Israeli Defense Forces for operations and operational debriefing. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security services. The Israeli military and civilian justice systems have on occasion found members of the security forces to have committed abuses. Significant human

COLLESS [email protected] Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Summary: The Origin of the Alphabet Since 2006 the discussion of the origin of the Semitic alphabet has been given an impetus through a hypothesis propagated by Orly Goldwasser: the alphabet was allegedly invented in the 19th century BCE by illiterate Semitic workers in the Egyptian turquoise mines of Sinai; they saw the picturesque Egyptian inscriptions on the site and borrowed a number of the hieroglyphs to write their own language, using a supposedly new method which is now known by the technical term acrophony. The main weakness of the theory is that it ignores the West Semitic acrophonic syllabary, which already existed, and contained most of the letters of the alphabet.

  • How to Play Dreidel: the Traditional Game
    How to Play Dreidel: The Traditional Game Dreidel is the traditional game played to celebrate Hanukkah. The letters on the dreidel—nun, gimel, hei, and shin—are interpreted to stand for the first letter of each word in the Hebrew statement “Neis gadol hayah sham,” which means, “A great miracle happened there” and refers to the defeat of the Syrian army and the re-dedication of the Temple in the story of Hanukkah. In Israel, one letter on the dreidel differs from those used in the rest of the world. Instead of a shin, you will find the letterpei, transforming the Hebrew statement into Neis gadol hayah po, which means, “A great miracle happened here.” So light your hanukkiyah, eat some latkes and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts), exchange gifts, play some Hanukkah music, and enjoy a game of dreidel! What You’ll Need • Playing pieces (plastic chips, pennies, small candies, buttons, peanuts in the shell, etc. may be used) for each pparticipant. • A dreidel for the group. How to Play Distribute an equal number of playing pieces to each person. Begin by having each person put one or two pieces into a common pot. Take turns spinning the dreidel and taking the actions determined by the letter you spin: g Gimel: The player takes all. h Hei: The player takes half. n Nun: The player takes nothing. ç Shin: The player puts in. The winner is the person who collects all the playing pieces. You may also try playing the dreidel game with a charitable twist: Everyone puts some money in the kitty, and the winner gets to choose where to donate it.
