    Chassidus on the 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) SH EVI’I SHEL PESACH _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah Shevi’i Shel Pesach – Kerias Yam Suf Walking on Dry Land Even in the Sea “And Bnei Yisrael walked on dry land in the sea” (Shemos 14:29) How can you walk on dry land in the sea? The Noam Elimelech , in Likkutei Shoshana , explains this contradictory-sounding pasuk as follows: When Bnei Yisrael experienced the Exodus and the splitting of the sea, they witnessed tremendous miracles and unbelievable wonders. There are Tzaddikim among us whose h earts are always attuned to Hashem ’s wonders and miracles even on a daily basis; they see not common, ordinary occurrences – they see miracles and wonders. As opposed to Bnei Yisrael, who witnessed the miraculous only when they walked on dry land in the sp lit sea, these Tzaddikim see a miracle as great as the “splitting of the sea” even when walking on so -called ordinary, everyday dry land! Everything they experience and witness in the world is a miracle to them. This is the meaning of our pasuk : there are some among Bnei Yisrael who, even while walking on dry land, experience Hashem ’s greatness and awesome miracles just like in the sea! This is what we mean when we say that Hashem transformed the sea into dry land. Hashem causes the Tzaddik to witness and e xperience miracles as wondrous as the splitting of the sea, even on dry land, because the Tzaddik constantly walks attuned to Hashem ’s greatness and exaltedness.

    October 13, 2018 Noach 4 Cheshvan, 5779 Jewish Recycling Let’s take a moment to look at recycling. We’re not talking about writing on scrap paper for convenience sake. Nor saving the tomato sauce can for the drippings from the meat. We’re talking about the check-the-number-on-the-plastic-put-the-used-foil-aside-shred-documents kind of recycling. In most states in the U.S. and most countries in the world, recycling is not yet mandatory. And even where it is written into city or state ordinances it is not actively enforced. After all, what law enforcement officer wants to go through someone’s smelly garbage just to see if the person is throwing out cans or recycling them? Despite the lack of legislation or enforcement of recycling, many, many people do recycle of their own free will. Have you ever thought about what kind of a statement you’re making every time you put aside a newspaper for recycling, or return a soda can to the store even though you could care less for the nickel? You’re saying, “I have a responsibility to future generations, and I believe that my one small act can make the world a better place.” That’s a pretty powerful statement to make by simply tossing a bottle into a recycling bin rather than a garbage bin. And yet, it’s so simple that most of us don’t even consider its significance. Now, you’re probably wondering if we’re “into” recycling, or we’re anti-Styrofoam or pro-green.

LIVED EXPERIENCES OF ORTHODOX JEWISH PROFESSIONALS WORKING WITH AT-RISK YOUTH IN THE ORTHODOX COMMUNITY by David E. Baruch A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of Doctor of Philosophy In Psychology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2014 ABSTRACT LIVED EXPERIENCES OF ORTHODOX JEWISH PROFESSIONALS WORKING WITH AT-RISK YOUTH IN THE ORTHODOX COMMUNITY by David E. Baruch University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2014 Under the Supervision of Professor Susan D. Lima A phenomenological approach was used to explore the lived experience of Orthodox Jewish professionals (mental health practitioner, high school rabbi, mentor) trying to break the resistance and connect with the at-risk youth in the Orthodox Jewish community (OJC). OJC at-risk youth was defined as a) youth experiencing life disruptions (in family, school, community, and/or religious contexts) related to psychological issues and reflected in externalizing (e.g., “delinquent”) or internalizing (e.g., depression) behaviors, and b) excluding a youth experiencing life disruptions due to non-compliance with parental and societal expectations (i.e., religious obligations) when devoid of a significant psychological component.

    Uncovering Mussar's and Chassidus' Divergent Approaches Toward Enlightenment

    205 Uncovering Mussar’s and Chassidus’ Divergent Approaches toward Enlightenment By: MOSHE MAIMON Prologue Nineteenth-century Eastern Europe was witness to the proliferation of three movements vying for the hearts and minds of its Jewish citizens. On the one hand there was the Haskala with its emphasis on secular knowledge and culture, which, together with its proselytizing atmosphere, was influential in initiating a widespread breakdown of traditional reli- gious values and observance. On the other hand, two distinct movements arose that sought to bolster general adherence to piety and Torah ob- servance. One was Chassidus, which actually became a prominent move- ment a half-century earlier in south-eastern Poland and quickly spread throughout the Ukraine, Galicia and parts of Hungary. Then there was the Mussar movement which originated in Lithuania and eventually be- came dominant in the Lithuanian-based yeshivas. This article will attempt to chart the complex attitudes at play in the relationships among these varying movements. It should be stressed, however, that whereas the Mussar movement was comprised of many schools, it may be assumed there was sufficient overlap in basic areas to speak of the Mussar movement as a unified whole. Similarly, all references to Chassidus are to be understood in a global sense, despite the great diversity among its various factions.1 Attitudes towards Modernity It is commonly assumed, and for good reason, that the Mussar movement was founded to counter the spread of Haskala.2 Indeed, it has been sug- gested that the reason R. Yisrael Salanter spent much of his later years in 1 For the purpose of this discussion this generalization follows the Mussarites’ own perception of Chassidus as reflected in their comments analyzed below.
