Derech Hateva A Journal of Torah and Science DERECH A Publication of Stern College for Women Yeshiva University HATEVA Volume 19, 2014-2015 Editor-In-Chief: Devorah Farber Co-Editors: Elisheva Dorfman, Sima Grossman, Michal Schechter, Allison Tawil Cover Design: Arielle Werthaim Layout Design: Daniela Garzon Printing: Advanced Copy Center, Brooklyn, NY 11230 Acknowledgements We would like to express tremendous gratitude to Dr. Babich for his dedication to this journal. It is thanks to his unwavering efforts that students are able to delve into the exciting world of the study of Torah U’Maddah. His support and encouragement enable students to delve, create and become inspired. We would also like to thank the following donors who have helped fund the publication of volume 19 of Derech HaTeva. Thank you for making this opportunity possible. Dr. and Mrs. Harvey Babich Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Koslowsky Dr. and Dr. Fred Grunseid Mr. and Mrs. Morris Rosenthal Dr. and Mrs. Richard Schwimmer Rabbi and Mrs. Baruch Solnica Dr. and Mrs. Moshe Steier Dr. and Dr. Howard Weintraub Torah Activities Council YU Undergraduate Admissions Devorah Farber Elisheva Dorfman Sima Grossman Michal Schechter Allison Tawil Dedication The editors of Derech HaTeva as well as the Yeshiva University community would like to dedicate the 19th volume of Derech HaTeva: A Journal of Torah and Science in memory of our fellow student Julia Packer a”h. Julia was a senior at Stern College for Women when she passed away at the age of 22 on January 31st, 2015. Known for her sweet and warm demeanor, Julia’s contagious smile brought much happiness to her family and friends. She treated those around her with kindness and compassion, and her gentle soul made her a comforting and joyful person to be around. Julia was also a talented artist whose works were greatly admired by faculty and students alike. Her special vivacity will long be remembered and treasured by all who were touched by her beautiful spirit. When the biblical prophetess Hannah was blessed with a child following many years of infertility, she sang what is known as “Shirat Hannah,” a poem that marvels at the wonders of which God is capable of. In this poem of thanksgiving, Hannah praises God and sings, “ain tzur k’Elokeinu” (Samuel I 2:2), which literally means, “there is no stronghold like God.” The 11th-century biblical commentator Rashi adds that this verse can alternately be read as, “ain tzayar k’Elokeinu,” which means, “there is no artist like God.” The marvelous wonders that God is able to design are clearly evident in the myriad of scientific processes that scientists and laymen alike are affected by every day. As a person who emulated God both in the way she conducted her life as well as in the talents that she exhibited, it is only befitting that a journal devoted to understanding the complexity, beauty, and artistry of science should be dedicated to Julia. החיים בצרור צרורה נשמתה תהא Lift up your eyes on high, and behold שאו מרום עיניכם וראו מי ברא Who has created these things; Who brings out their host by number, He אלה המוציא במספר צבאם לכלם calls them all by names by the greatness בשם יקרא מרב אונים ואמיץ כח of His might, and because He is strong .in power not one is missing איש לא נעדר Yeshayahu 40:26 Table of contents Michal Auerbach, Postmortem Sperm Insemination: A Halachic Survey....................................................................................................7 Rebecca van Bemmelen, God Bless You! - Smell and Spirituality..........................................................................................................10 Emily Chase, Colors of Judaism................................................................................................................................................................12 Tehila Feinberg, Halachik Considerations of IVF..................................................................................................................................14 Talia Felman, The Epigenetics of Children of Holocaust Survivors............................................................................................................16 Rebecca Garber, The Eighth-Month Conundrum.....................................................................................................................................18 Sima Grossman, Mitochondrial Replacement Therapy and Jewish Law......................................................................................................20 Rachel Hersch, Contagious Diseases and Vaccination; A Halachic Perspective ........................................................................................23 Yael Horvath, A Suggested Mechanism to the Hardening of Pharaoh’s Heart: A Study in Mind-Controlling Parasites.............................25 Ariella Levie, Black Jews of Africa: Beliefs, Customs, and Genetics............................................................................................................27 Elana Perlow, Whose Blood is Redder?

  • LALIBELA Ethiopia, Africa
    LALIBELA Ethiopia, Africa Unesco World Heritage Site in 1978 According to oral tradition, Ethiopia was founded by Ethiopicus, the great-great- grandson of Noah. His son, named Axumai, founded the capital of Axum and a dynasty that reigned for 97 generations. His last queen, named Makeda (Queen of Sheba). She visited King Solomon in Jerusalem and returned pregnant. Her son Menelik I was the first of the Solomonic dynasty which ruled almost uninterruptedly until 1974 when Haile Selassie was deposed. Within the latter dynasty the best known king was Lalibela (1133-1173) and according to tradition, he travelled to Jerusalem just before the city fell into Muslim hands and then decided to create a new Jerusalem in Ethiopia, giving his name to this city of churches. The churches of Lalibela were built between the 7th and 13th centuries. They are carved from single blocks of red basaltic rock, without bricks, wood or mortar. Chisels, axes and shovels were used to carve into the porous volcanic surface. There are 4 free-standing churches and the others are attached to the rock. The churches were linked by passages and over time a multitude of hollows and caves were cut into the rock around the temples. These cavities were used as tombs (bones can still be seen) and as dwellings for hermits. Why were the churches built "underground"? • Where Lalibela is, there is no stone or wood to build with, there is only the rock where the churches were excavated. • The temples were hidden from the eyes of the Arabs, who were harassing Ethiopia at the time.

  • The Mystery, Meaning and Disappearance of the Tekhelet
    THE MYSTERY, MEANING AND DISAPPEARANCE OF THE TEKHELET YOSEF GREEN AND PINCHAS KAHN And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying , "Speak to the people of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes [tzitzit ] on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a thread of blue [Petil Tekhelet]. And it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look upon it, and remem- ber all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that you seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, which incline you to go astray ; That you may remember, and do all my command- 1 ments, and be holy to your God" (Num. 15:37-40). This text is climaxed by the commands to look upon the fringes, to remem- ber the commandments, and to do them. But, why and how do the fringes enable a person to become holy to your God ? The rabbinic interpretation and explication of these biblical verses and the disappearance of the tekhelet fringe will lead us to a rather surprising exposi- tion of talmudic mysticism. Our inquiry begins with a quote from T.B. Menahot 43b. The Talmud there first quotes from the biblical text in a Tannaitic source ( Baraita ), and then adds a critical point: "That you may look upon it and remember . and do them . Looking [upon it] leads to remembering [the commandments], and re- membering leads to doing them." This comment presumably relates to the issue of looking at the fringe in order to remember the commandments.

Lydon, Chair This thesis historically traces the development and interactions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam in Ethiopia. This analysis of the interactions between the Abrahamic faiths is primarily concerned with identifying notable periods of social cohesion in an effort to contest mainstream narratives that often pit the three against each other. This task is undertaken by incorporating a comparative analysis of the Ethiopian Christian code, the Fetha Nagast (Law of Kings), with Islamic and Judaic legal traditions. Identifying the common threads weaved throughout the Abrahamic legal traditions demonstrates how the historical development and periods of social cohesion in Ethiopia were facilitated. ii The thesis of David Benjamin Spielman is approved.

Throne names and horse names were used solely by the emperors and the ruling class. Those name changes exalted the bearer by either stating his authority or connecting him to divine power. Pen names and field names were used by people not in power to hide their identity from people with the power to harm them. Although the purpose of those name changes was to disguise, the names that

Netanel and David Nimmer* Is copyright a property right? Common law and civil law jurists have debated that issue for over three centuries. It remains at the heart of battles over copyright’s scope and duration today, even if its import lies principally in the rhetorical force of labeling a right as “property,” not in any doctrinal consequence flowing directly from that label. In parallel to their common law and civil law counterparts, present-day rabbinic jurists engage in lively debate whether Jewish law recognizes copyright as a property right. And, as in secular law but for different reasons, that issue has significant repercussions in Jewish law. As discussed in rabbinic court decisions and writings, whether Jewish law accords authors a right of ownership in their works impacts such issues as whether it is permissible, without license from the author or publisher, to copy and distribute software and sound recordings, perform music in wedding halls, make copies for private and classroom use, and download songs from the Internet. * Respectively, Pete Kameron Endowed Chair in Law, UCLA School of Law, and Professor from Practice, UCLA School of Law.

ERICH VON DANIKEN TRANSLATED BY MICHAEL HERON Contents 1 In Search of the Ark of the Covenant 2 Man Outsmarts Nature 3 Malta – a Paradise of Unsolved Puzzles 4 History repeats itself 5 Signs of the Gods? Signs for the Gods? 6 Right Royal King Lists 7 Prophet of the past 1: In Search of the Ark of the Covenant Agatha Christie, that incomparable detective-story writer, once gave an interview in which she explained the ideal pattern for a good crime story. She said that only when suspicion was clearly proved so that a criminal with a sound motive could be revealed at the end was a story satisfying and exciting. But she added that the working out of the plot was only convincing if it left lingering doubts after the end of the story. Agatha Christie was talking about fictitious crime. I want to tell you about a crime which actually took place but nevertheless fulfils all the conditions which the grand old lady laid down for a first-class detective story. For me the crime began in a religion class. We were told that God commanded Moses to build an ark. We can read the instructions he was given in Exodus 25, 10. However they cannot have been purely verbal; he must have had a model of the ark: ‘And look that thou make them after the pattern, which was shewed thee on the mount.’ Exodus 25,40 This ark is the material evidence involved in our crime. We must not lose sight of it.
