MEIR MOSS he story I would like to relate concerns my father, Sam Moss, more than me. My father was born Tin Munkatch, Czechoslovakia, what is now Mukachevo, Ukraine. There he attended the yeshivah of Rabbi Chaim Elazar Spira, author of Minchas Elazar, who was the Munkatcher Rebbe. In 1944, the Nazis herded the Jews of Munkatch into a ghetto, from where they were taken to Auschwitz and later transferred to Dachau. There they endured unspeakable trials, and at one point my father got very sick and was near death, but he was saved due to my grandfather’s intercession with a kitchen hand, Oscar Heller, who slipped him extra food which helped him recover. After the war, he made his way to Australia, he decided to go to New York to speak with the Rebbe where he married and built up a very successful textile about it. I think he thought he would make a contribution business. I was born in Sydney, as was my brother. to Chabad, and the Rebbe would do what he wanted — tell me to leave the yeshivah. I really do think that’s what Because of his war experiences, my father was not he had in mind. religious. Indeed, between the time of liberation until 1956, he never even walked into a synagogue.

  • Daf Ditty Shekalim 2: God’S Currency
    Daf Ditty Shekalim 2: God’s Currency 1 2 On the first of Adar they make a public announcement about the shekels and concerning kilayim. On the fifteenth: they read the Megillah [Esther] in walled cities, and they fix the roads and the streets and the ritual water baths, and they perform all public duties, and they mark the graves, and [messengers] go forth also concerning kilayim. GEMARA: The mishna taught that the court would issue a proclamation concerning the new shekels on the first of Adar. The Gemara asks: And why specifically on the first of Adar? The Gemara answers: This was done in order that Jews would bring their shekels to the designated Temple chamber in the proper time, as the shekels had to be collected before the beginning of Nisan each year. And this would ensure that the collection of the Temple treasury chamber would be collected from the new shekels at its proper time, which is on the first of the month of Nisan, i.e., the beginning of the Temple year. After that date all communal offerings must be purchased from the new shekels. And Rabbi Shmuel bar Rav Yitzḥak said: The collection of the Temple treasury chamber was performed each year on the same date as its first time, as it is written: 3 And it came to pass in the first month in the second 17 זי שּׁ ָָבּנה ָרהאשׁוֹן,ַ ִ ֶַֹבּדחשׁ ַויה ְִי ַויה ֶַֹבּדחשׁ ִ ָרהאשׁוֹן, ַ ָָבּנה שּׁ year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle ִיתֵנַהשּׁ -- ֶַֹדלחשׁ: אח ְֶָבּד קוּה ַ ,ם , וּ .was reared up .ָןְִכַּהשׁמּ Ex 40:17 “And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the Tabernacle was reared up” And a baraita was taught about this verse: On the day that the Tabernacle was erected, on that very day the funds were collected.

  • Historic Moments of Hungarian Folk Dance: from the Gyöngyösbokréta to the Dance House Movement
    HStud 22 (2008)1–2, 3–8 DOI: 10.15566/HStud.22.2008.1–2.1 HISTORIC MOMENTS OF HUNGARIAN FOLK DANCE: FROM THE GYÖNGYÖSBOKRÉTA TO THE DANCE HOUSE MOVEMENT LÁSZLÓ DIÓSZEGI Hungarian Dance Academy, Budapest Hungary At the outset of the dance house movement, Sándor Csoóri, a prominent figure of contemporary Hungarian poetry, wrote that there were two outstanding events in the history of Hungarian folk dance. The first was when it got to the stage and the sec- ond when it got off the stage. This article expands on this poetically concise but per- tinent thought, offers a short analyses of the defining periods of Hungarian folk dance, and gives some discussion of its main trends and representatives. Keywords: Dance House, folk dance, staged dance, Hungarian, ethnography, folk music Hungarian folk dance made its way to the stage relatively late, only in the first half of the 20th century, and it was then that it became widely known and ac- knowledged. This does not mean that isolated attempts to bring it into the lime- light had not been made before, but what is certain is that earlier folk dance had not been known or appreciated by the Hungarian social elite. Certainly, this statement does not go against the fact that at the time of our na- tional culture’s genesis, in the 18th and 19th centuries, during the eminent period of Hungary’s history, the Reform Era, enlightened members of high society had already turned their interest to the folklore and thus also to the dances of the coun- tryside.

A gemara explains (Shabbat Sarah brought those around them to that had Noach been as great a tzaddik 55a) that G-d told the angel Gavriel to recognize G-d. Next, Avraham turns as Avraham, G-d would surely have make a letter with ink on the foreheads down his share of the spoils from the entered into a covenant with Noach, like of the righteous, and to use blood to battle of the four kings and the five He did with Avraham (Bereishit 15).

    The Agunah Problem, Part 1; Incarceration and Free Speech The Agunah Problem, Part 1; Incarceration and Free Speech Marc B. Shapiro 1. There has been a lot of discussion recently about the International Beit Din and its rulings allowing certain marriages to be voided, thus freeing women from being agunot. As is to be expected, this beit din has been subject to strong attacks, even of a personal nature, despite the fact that the members of the beit din are recognized talmidei hakhamim. These dayanim are intent on keeping everything above board and have published the reasoning behind their rulings, thus giving opponents the opportunity to engage in halakhic argumentation. From what I have read, the International Beit Din has three approaches to freeing agunot. One is annul the marriage based on mekah taut, i.e., there was some problem with the husband that would have prevented the wife from marrying him had she known of it. This is a perfectly valid mechanism that has been used by many poskim, such as R. Zvi Pesah Frank, R. Moshe Feinstein, and R. Avraham Shapiro. Although one can, of course, criticize the application ofmekah taut to a particular case, the mechanism itself is part of standard halakhic operating procedure and the International Beit Din is well within its rights to use mekah taut when possible. The second approach is to find a problem in the marriage ceremony itself, meaning that the marriage never took place. For example, one can show that there were no proper witnesses to the marriage. Here again, one can disagree with particular rulings, but not with the basic approach.
