Indeed the Kollel, which plays a major role on our Yeshiva Campus, also represents the fulfilment of the vision and dream of the late Rabbi Michael Kossowsky z”l, founder and first Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva College. In the South Africa of the 1950’s and 1960’s his Utopian dream, which he hoped we would one day achieve was the existence of a Yeshiva College Primary and High School with an enrolment of 200 students. He could not have imagined the thriving, bustling campus we have today that serves the needs of close on a thousand boysm and girls fro Nursery School to Matric, including the Kollel which represents higher Torah learning for all ages. I congratulate Rav Shlomo Glicksberg, Rav Levy Wineberg and their devoted colleagues. I also salute the lay leadership o f the Kollel who have brought us to the great heights we enjoy. A special thanks to the Chairmen, Mr Marc Chipkin and Mr Richard Herring, the Financial Director Mr Ronen Goldstein, the entire executive and Rabbi Alon Friedman, who have made the Kollel their personal calling. This year the Beit Mordechai Campus Kollel’s publication and breakfast is in cherished memory our beloved Anthony Kur z”l. Anthony, our child at Yeshiva School, our friend, our congregate aonngd str supporter of our Beit Mordechai Campus Kollel. In his short lifetime, Anthony personified the values of sincerity, humility, total loyalty and friendship to all of us. May the Torah learning be an eternal zechut to his blessed memory. Ase w e ar in the season of counting-Sefirat Haomer, we need to remember that it hasn’t really been about counting days as much as trying to ‘make our days count’. We make time count by using each day as a precious resource – to achieve something significant or to invest, to prepare in future achievements. Just as we learn each day and daven each day, so too it is important that we give to others and do a kindness for others every single day – at least one kindness. (Try for 3.) We prepare for Sinai and Kabalat HaTorah not just by learning, but equally by caring and by kindness. Thus the theme of the Sefirah period mourning has been one of ‘respect for each other’ – respect for peers and siblings, colleagues and friends. Not just love – Kavod. Hashem doesn’t give Torah to people of ego, only to people of humility. “Vayichan” –and the people camped (singular) at the mountain – as one man with one heart” (Rashi). This is the most basic prerequisite for receiving the Torah and for becoming great in Torah. This is chavershaft and is the essence of the refined personality. 6 Rav Shteinman noted that never has it happened that a Gadol B’Torah becomes renowned for his genius or knowledge; rather he becomes gadol through refinement of character. The Mitzvah of Talmud Torah is not a ‘brain mit zvah’ but a ‘character mitzvah’, it is the mechanism that Hashem gives us to become people of ‘gadlut’ – greatness of character rather than simply colourful personality. This is what sets Talmud Torah apart as the biggest mitzvah – to become a great person is the biggest service that one do for Hashem and His people. This separates Shavuot as possibly the most exciting opportunity of the entire calendar. This is indeed our hopes and prayers for all the participants of our Yeshiva Torah Campus. May our Kollel go from estrengngth than dto co str ntinue to uplift and inspire our community. Yom Ha’atzmaut Sameach. 7 Foreward Rabbi Alon Friedman – Director Beit Mordechai Campus Kollel and Associate Rabbi Beth Harav Glenhazel We find a very unique statement of Chazal in reference to the importance of Eretz Yisrael. “Dwelling in the Land of Israel is equal to all the mitzvot of the Torah.” (Sifrei.Re’eh 28) In a letter discussing the mitzvah of dwelling in the land of Israel, the “Gadol of Minsk”-Rav Yerucham Yehudah Leib Perlman-writes: “Every time G-d spoke to Avraham Avinu, He mentioned Eretz Yisrael. The same is true of Yitzchak and Yaakov. The land is mentioned in practically every parshah in the Torah. With this in mind we could understand Chazals underlying intention when they say “Dwelling in the Land of Israel is equal to all the mitzvot o f the Torah.” Rav Meir Simcha of Dvinsk (author of Ohr Same’ach and Meshech Chochma) concurs: “From the day we received our Holy Torah, prophecy did not stop commanding us about settling the Land. Moreover, there is not a single parshah in the Torah that fails to mention Eretz Yisrael” In his famous essay Ikveta DeMishicha, Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman points out that approximately two thirds of the Chumash as well as two thirds of Shas, depend on Eretz Yisrael. And Rav Yaakov Emden goes as far as to say that Eretz Yisrael is the “peg upon which the entire Torah hangs” (Siddur Beit Yaakov) Eretz Yisrael and Torat Eretz Yisrael are an integral part of our campus and the central foundation on which our Kollel prides itself. Our own Kollel provides a high level Torah learning centre, serving as the educational and spiritual engine room energizing all we do on the campus. This is truly a privilege, which plays a major role, and also represents the fulfilment of a vision - that Torah should be the nucleus of our lives. The articles which appear in this publication reflect so much of what is unique about our Beit Midrash-holistic broadminded and relevant. Some articles deal with the realm of Halacha-Jewish Law-while others focus on the realms of Emunah and Hashkafa-ideology and perspective-with respect to Yom Ha’aztmaut. A big Yishar Koach to all involved in putting together this publication. The Roshei Kollel, Rabbanim, Avreichim and contributors to our Torah Journal. We hope that these Divrei Torah make a meaningful difference to your Yom Ha’atzmaut experience. 8 A Tribute To Our Dear Friend Anthony Kur z”l Rabbi Laurence Perez – Head of World Mizrachi The nature of the ingathering of the exiles in the modern State of Israel is unparalleled in Jewish and human history.

    English Abstracts “I Shall Work”: Justifications for and Consequences of Ultra-Orthodox Women Shouldering the Burden of Breadwinning Iris Brown (Hoizman) From the early 1960s, ultra-Orthodox society, and particularly its “Lithuanian” component, gradually adopted a socioeconomic model in which women became the primary providers. Ultra-Orthodox women took upon themselves the financial responsibility for the family, as if to say: “I shall work, sustain, provide, and support.” Yet, in addition, they continued to declare: “I shall educate, deal with the day-to-day running of the house, and take care of my husband.” The entry of the ultra-Orthodox woman into the workplace enabled the “society of learners” to function (i.e. enabled the husbands to dedicate their time exclusively to Torah study), but it also threatened the patriarchal structure of the ultra-Orthodox family. Ultra-Orthodox leadership tried to prevent this undesirable consequence, in essence seeking to set a social revolution into motion without paying the price. In the first generation of the revolution, the process was promoted as “self-sacrifice” for the sake of Torah, combining the desire to aid in the building of the “Torah world” in the Land of Israel and to give honor to the husband-Torah scholar. As the revolution progressed, however, the innovative development demanded justification and defense. This article examines how ultra-Orthodox leaders and educators have dealt with the fundamental difficulties posed by the “woman as provider” paradigm, such as the blurring of masculine and feminine roles and the perceived progressive increase in the status of women versus the sanctified ultra-Orthodox theological principle that posits the inherent decline of progressive generations.

Etienne Political geography master thesis 3 The influence of multilingualism on the aggressive expression of othering among Jewish Israelis Tom W. Etienne Political geography master thesis i The influence of multilingualism on the aggressive expression of othering among Jewish Israelis ABSTRACT Great amounts of academic research have been conducted on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as on the precarious state of the Israeli society itself. Any research, however, that offers insight in even a small portion of what contributes to the conflict, on what it causes or may temper it, seems welcome. From its establishment onward, Israel has known internal tensions, where the differences between language groups supersede linguistic differences greatly. Othering processes (Van Houtum & Van Naerssen, 2002) are widely seen and even politically and judicially pushed, often along religious lines, but often along (highly parallel) linguistic breaking lines. Although Israel is legally defined as a bilingual state, where both Hebrew and Arabic are official languages, they are culturally and spatially segregated, being explicitly linked to the Jewish and Arab population of the region.

  • Hasidic Judaism - Wikipedia, the Freevisited Encyclopedi Ona 1/6/2015 Page 1 of 19
    Hasidic Judaism - Wikipedia, the freevisited encyclopedi ona 1/6/2015 Page 1 of 19 Hasidic Judaism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sephardic pronunciation: [ħasiˈdut]; Ashkenazic , תודיסח :Hasidic Judaism (from the Hebrew pronunciation: [χaˈsidus]), meaning "piety" (or "loving-kindness"), is a branch of Orthodox Judaism that promotes spirituality through the popularization and internalization of Jewish mysticism as the fundamental aspect of the faith. It was founded in 18th-century Eastern Europe by Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov as a reaction against overly legalistic Judaism. His example began the characteristic veneration of leadership in Hasidism as embodiments and intercessors of Divinity for the followers. [1] Contrary to this, Hasidic teachings cherished the sincerity and concealed holiness of the unlettered common folk, and their equality with the scholarly elite. The emphasis on the Immanent Divine presence in everything gave new value to prayer and deeds of kindness, alongside rabbinical supremacy of study, and replaced historical mystical (kabbalistic) and ethical (musar) asceticism and admonishment with Simcha, encouragement, and daily fervor.[2] Hasidism comprises part of contemporary Haredi Judaism, alongside the previous Talmudic Lithuanian-Yeshiva approach and the Sephardi and Mizrahi traditions. Its charismatic mysticism has inspired non-Orthodox Neo-Hasidic thinkers and influenced wider modern Jewish denominations, while its scholarly thought has interested contemporary academic study. Each Hasidic Jews praying in the Hasidic dynasty follows its own principles; thus, Hasidic Judaism is not one movement but a synagogue on Yom Kippur, by collection of separate groups with some commonality. There are approximately 30 larger Hasidic Maurycy Gottlieb groups, and several hundred smaller groups. Though there is no one version of Hasidism, individual Hasidic groups often share with each other underlying philosophy, worship practices, dress (borrowed from local cultures), and songs (borrowed from local cultures).

  • Voting for Equality: the Gender Gap in Voting in the 2013 Israeli Elections
    Voting for Equality: The Gender gap in Voting in the 2013 Israeli Elections Abstract Israeli women hold some more hawkish issue positions compared with those of men yet they support center and left parties at higher rates than men do. We address this puzzle by examining both issue positions and the salience of these positions in determining vote choice. Drawing on INES data from the 2013 elections, we show that compared with men, women support greater role of government in the economy. We also find that the economy affects women’s vote choice more strongly than that of men. Security and foreign affairs, however, affect both groups in a similar way. Counterfactual analysis that isolates the effect of issue positions and their salience shows that differential salience rather than differences in issue positions drives most of the gender gap in vote choice. Lastly, we reflect on and offer an account of the differences. 1 1. Introduction Perhaps the most striking result of the 2013 Israeli elections was the overwhelming success of the Likud party, and in particular its leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, above and beyond all predictions. An avid advocate of neo-liberal economic policy with a long record of dismantlement of the public sector and promotion of privatization, Netanyahu was broadly supported by the public in the first elections following the 2011 mass protests calling for social justice. This outcome, consistent with the truism that foreign affairs and security are the epicenter of Israeli politics, soon became the focus of attention in both the media and the public. When examined in depth, however, a curious gap of twelve percentage points in support for Likud Beiteinu between men and women is revealed.
