Hasidism: Writings on Devotion, Community, and Life in the Modern World H-Judaic Edited Volume TOC: Hasidism: Writings on Devotion, Community, and Life in the Modern World Discussion published by Sylvia Fuks Fried on Wednesday, September 30, 2020 The Tauber Institute at Brandeis University is pleased to announce the publication of Hasidism: Writings on Devotion, Community, and Life in the Modern World Edited by Ariel Evan Mayse and Sam Berrin Shonkoff August 2020/ 275 pages/Brandeis University Press ISBN 9781684580170/ $26/Paperback Summary: Hasidism has attracted, repelled and bewildered philosophers, historians and theologians since its inception in the 18th century. In “Hasidism: Writings on Devotion, Community, and Life in the Modern World,” Ariel Evan Mayse and Sam Berrin Shonkoff present students and scholars with a vibrant and polyphonic set of Hasidic confrontations with the modern world. In this collection, they show that the modern Hasid marks not only another example of a Jewish pietist, but someone who is committed to an ethos of seeking wisdom, joy and intimacy with the divine. While this volume focuses on Hasidism, it wrestles with a core set of questions that permeate modern Jewish thought and religious thought more generally: What is the relationship between God and the world? What is the relationship between God and the human being? But Hasidic thought is cast with mystical, psychological and even magical accents, and offers radically different answers to core issues of modern concern. The editors draw selections from an array of genres, including women’s supplications; sermons and homilies; personal diaries and memoirs; correspondence; stories; polemics; legal codes; and rabbinic responsa. These selections consciously move between everyday lived experience and the most ineffable mystical secrets, reflecting the multidimensional nature of this unusual religious and social movement. The editors include canonical texts from the first generation of Hasidic leaders up through present-day ultra-orthodox, as well as neo-Hasidic voices and, in so doing, demonstrate the unfolding of a rich and complex phenomenon that continues to evolve today.

He was unblemished in his age...” Narrator: Hey! Why do we have these additional words "in his age"? Couldn’t the Torah have just said that Noah was virtuous and righteous? Rashi: Well, the Midrash claims that this seemingly superfluous phrase can be read in two different ways. 1) It is to Noah's praise. If he had lived in a time where being righteous was common, he would have been seen as extremely righteous. 2) On the other hand, “in his age” could also be read to his discredit. He was only righteous in the age that he lived. If, however, he had lived in Abraham’s generation, he would have been your average Joe! Ramban: Rashi, seriously; the correct read is that Noah alone was the righteous man in his age, worthy of being saved from the flood.

  • Heavy Heart the Judaism Site
    Torah.org Heavy Heart The Judaism Site https://torah.org/torah-portion/dvartorah-5760-bo/ HEAVY HEART by Rabbi Dovid Green "And G-d said to Moshe 'come to Pharaoh, for I have made his heart heavy...'" This means that G-d Himself gave Pharaoh the strength to stand up against His coercion to free the Children of Israel. G-d made clear to Moshe that He is behind the difficulties which the Children of Israel were experiencing. Had we been in Egypt, we might have just seen a very stubborn Pharaoh and felt the oppression of his domination over us. We may have wondered when and if this all would end. However, the truth of the matter is that G-d Himself was really at the helm, navigating. Rabbi Yehudah Aryeh Leib Alter (19th cent.) writes in "Sfas Emes" that from this parsha one can derive much encouragement in facing the hardships we encounter in trying to do the right thing. G- d, Who has only our good in mind, is the One Who is maintaining the hardships we may find ourselves in. Nevertheless, just as in Egypt, our difficulties are purposeful. One might conclude from the existence of opposition to good that G-d is weak. Rabbi Alter points out that it is really just the opposite. The patience and control that G-d shows by giving mankind strength to go against His will is a more profound manifestation of strength than that of obliterating evil. A great rabbi once sent his son out to collect money for an urgent cause.

Review of David Assaf, The Regal Way: The Life and Times of R. Israel of Ruzhin Abstract Hagiography and history tell their stories at cross-purposes. While hagiography glorifies, even sanctifies its heroes, history strips them of their traditional greatness, seeking to bare the factual truth to which documents and testimonies attest. Nowhere is this contrast more evident than in the history and study of Hasidism. Legends (shevahim) are the building blocks of the Hasidic tradition, in which the rabbi is a leader, a miracle worker and a storyteller. He is the narrating subject, who, in turn, becomes the object of stories subsequent generations tell.

  • Tanya Sources.Pdf
    The Way to the Tree of Life Jewish practice entails fulfilling many laws. Our diet is limited, our days to work are defined, and every aspect of life has governing directives. Is observance of all the laws easy? Is a perfectly righteous life close to our heart and near to our limbs? A righteous life seems to be an impossible goal! However, in the Torah, our great teacher Moshe, Moses, declared that perfect fulfillment of all religious law is very near and easy for each of us. Every word of the Torah rings true in every generation. Lesson one explores how the Tanya resolved these questions. It will shine a light on the infinite strength that is latent in each Jewish soul. When that unending holy desire emerges, observance becomes easy. Lesson One: The Infinite Strength of the Jewish Soul The title page of the Tanya states: A Collection of Teachings ספר PART ONE לקוטי אמרים חלק ראשון Titled הנקרא בשם The Book of the Beinonim ספר של בינונים Compiled from sacred books and Heavenly מלוקט מפי ספרים ומפי סופרים קדושי עליון נ״ע teachers, whose souls are in paradise; based מיוסד על פסוק כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאד בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו upon the verse, “For this matter is very near to לבאר היטב איך הוא קרוב מאד בדרך ארוכה וקצרה ”;you, it is in your mouth and heart to fulfill it בעזה״י and explaining clearly how, in both a long and short way, it is exceedingly near, with the aid of the Holy One, blessed be He. "1 of "393 The Way to the Tree of Life From the outset of his work therefore Rav Shneur Zalman made plain that the Tanya is a guide for those he called “beinonim.” Beinonim, derived from the Hebrew bein, which means “between,” are individuals who are in the middle, neither paragons of virtue, tzadikim, nor sinners, rishoim.

  • Mattos Chassidus on the Massei ~ Mattos Chassidus on the Parsha +
    LIGHTS OF OUR RIGHTEOUS TZADDIKIM בעזרת ה ' יתבר A Tzaddik, or righteous person , makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) MATTOS ~ MASSEI _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah – Mattos Keep Your Word The Torah states (30:3), “If a man takes a vow or swears an oath to G -d to establish a prohibition upon himself, he shall not violate his word; he shall fulfill whatever comes out of his mouth.” In relation to this passuk , the Midrash quotes from Tehillim (144:4), “Our days are like a fleeting shadow.” What is the connection? This can be explained, says Rav Levi Yitzchok, according to a Gemara ( Nedarim 10b), which states, “It is forbidden to say, ‘ Lashem korban , for G-d − an offering.’ Instead a person must say, ‘ Korban Lashem , an offering for G -d.’ Why? Because he may die before he says the word korban , and then he will have said the holy Name in vain.” In this light, we can understand the Midrash. The Torah states that a person makes “a vow to G-d.” This i s the exact language that must be used, mentioning the vow first. Why? Because “our days are like a fleeting shadow,” and there is always the possibility that he may die before he finishes his vow and he will have uttered the Name in vain. n Story The wood chopper had come to Ryczywohl from the nearby village in which he lived, hoping to find some kind of employment.

We find in the book HaRoke’ach [R. Eliezer of Worms, 1176-1238] that the 36 candles of Hanukkah [without the 8 extra of the shammash] are parallel to the thirty-six hours that the original light of Creation shined in the world before being hidden away [see Genesis Rabbah 11:2]. If this is so, then the light of Hanukkah is itself of that hidden light, which [now] shines in the great darkness [of exile]. The Sages taught that this light shined from one end of the world to the other [Genesis Rabbah 11:2], so no hiding or concealment can stand before this light. כי העולם נק' הטבע, שהוא מעלים ומסתיר האור. אבל אור הראשון הי' מאיר בכל אלה ההסתרות וגנזו לצדיקים. וע"ז )ועל זה( כתיב "זרח בחושך אור לישרים". וכ' )וכתיב( "העם ההולכים בחושך ראו אור גדול" . and conceals this (מעלים ;is also called “nature”, as it hides (ma’alim (העולם ;The world (ha’olam light.
