    A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger's View of Opening A

    A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat Rabbi Michael J. Broyde Introduction Thank you to Rabbi Yaacov Sasson for his comments on footnote 59 of the article “The Use of Electricity on Shabbat and Yom Tov” found in the Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society, 21:4-47 (Spring 1991) co-written by Rabbi Jachter and myself. It is always nice to have people commenting on articles written more than 25 years ago.[1] Before delving into the halacha, it is worth clarifying some preliminary facts – in particular, whether refrigerators even had automatic lights during the first half of the 1930s. Some commenters have suggested that such lights were not yet present, or that they were limited to rare and expensive refrigerators. This is not correct. I reproduce below a wide variety of newspaper ads from the early 1930s that show that a range of refrigerator models by many manufacturers at various price points featured automatic interior lights (see attachments here). These include a Frigidaire priced at $157.50, a GE priced at $99.50, a Majestic model with no price, a Frigidaire priced at $119.50, a Leonard priced at $114.75 and many more.[2] And while some of the publications appear targeted to the upper class, many others are clearly meant for wider audiences – particularly those available on installment plans (“$5 down, 15¢ a day”; “Nothing down! 20¢ a day!”; “$7 Initial Payment – enables you to enjoy any of these refrigerators immediately.

    Divine Image,Prospectives on Noahide Laws

    Divine Image Divine Image View All Divine Image Book Insights into the Noahide Laws Through the light of Torah and Chabad philosophy Adapted by Rabbi Yakov Dovid Cohen Copyright © 2006 by Rabbi Yakov Dovid Cohen All Rights Reserved ISBN 1-4243-1000-8 978-1-4243-1000-5 Published by The Institute of Noahide Code www.Noahide.org Printed in the United States of America In English En Español En français En français En français 한국어 中文 اﻟﺬات اﻹﻟﻬﻴﺔ INTRODUCTION Every person is created with a Divine image. It is the task of every one of us to elevate all human activity to a Divine purpose. In short, this means being able to connect every human activity with G-d – and this is precisely the purpose of the Torah and its commandments, called mitzvoth in Hebrew. Every human being has the unique ability to connect his entire being with the Creator. Upon achieving this task, he creates a dwelling place for G-d in this world, thereby fulfilling the purpose of creation. As is explained in this book, the worlds of the spiritual and the physical are not in conflict. Their ultimate purpose is that they be fused together with the physical being permeated by the spiritual. The core element of every mitzvah – commandment performance is to take the physical creation and utilize it for a Divine purpose. Thereby a wonderful harmony achieving both in the individual and in the world at large. This is a theme that encompasses all times and places; wherever and whenever a person operates, he is able to utilize the task at hand for its correct and Divine purpose, thus transforming one’s daily life activities into a dwelling place for G-d.
  • After Chabad: Enforcement in Cultural Property Disputes

    After Chabad: Enforcement in Cultural Property Disputes

    Comment After Chabad: Enforcement in Cultural Property Disputes Giselle Barciat I. INTRODUCTION Cultural property is a unique form of property. It may be at once personal property and real property; it is non-fungible; it carries deep historical value; it educates; it is part tangible, part transient.' Cultural property is property that has acquired a special social status inextricably linked to a certain group's identity. Its value to the group is unconnected to how outsiders might assess its economic worth. 2 If, as Hegel posited, property is an extension of personhood, then cultural property, for some, is an extension of nationhood. Perhaps because of that unique status, specialized rules have developed, both domestically and internationally, to resolve some of the legal ambiguities inherent in "owning" cultural property. The United States, for example, has passed numerous laws protecting cultural property4 and has joined treaties and participated in international conventions affirming cultural property's special legal status.5 Those rules focus primarily on conflict prevention and rely upon t Yale Law School, J.D. expected 2013; University of Cambridge, M.Phil. 2009; Harvard University, A.B. 2008. Many thanks to Professor Amy Chua for her supervision, support, and insightful comments. I am also grateful to Camey VanSant and Leah Zamore for their meticulous editing. And, as always, thanks to Daniel Schuker. 1. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property (1970 UNESCO Convention) defines cultural property as "property which, on religious or secular grounds, is specifically designated by each State as being of importance for archaeology, prehistory, history, literature, art or science." 1970 UNESCO Convention art.

  • My Encounter with the Rebbe טילש

    My Encounter with the Rebbe טילש

    בס"ד My Encounter With שליט"א The Rebbe by Zalmon Jaffe 19th Installment Shovous 5747/1987 until Shovous 5748/1988 (REJOICE AND BE HAPPY) THE YEAR OF HAKHEL INTRODUCTION Once again, I extend grateful thanks to The A-mighty that I have had the Zechus and privilege to present to you another Instalment of "My Encounter with the Rebbe Shlita". This edition is the Nineteenth and covers the period from Shovuos 5747 (1987) till Shovuos 5748 (1988). This year 5748 is the Year of Hakhel, about which I have written and explained later on. 5748 in Hebrew is TE SA MACH which means "Rejoice and be Happy", and as the Rebbe has often remarked --"I love to see happy faces around me". I hope that you will enjoy reading this, my nineteenth edition and that you will derive much pleasure from it. All the photographs in this edition are by Isaac Freidin of Cholon, Israel. Unfortunately, on the 22nd Shevat (February 10th 1988) the Lubavitcher world suffered an irreplaceable loss. Our dear friend, The Rebbetzen (ZTzL) passed away, suddenly. This was a terrible blow to all of us, but moreso to our Beloved Rebbe Shlita, who had lost a perfect wife, an ideal companion and a worthy adviser, of almost sixty years standing. She was a real AISHESS CHAYIL (WOMAN OF WORTH). As this "diary" is written in chronological order, I have described some of our personal "Encounters with the Rebbetzen (ZTzL)" later on in this book. Until a few years ago, I had many encounters with the Rebbe, at Crown Heights and inside 770.

The Conjecture from the Universality of Objectivity in Jurisprudential Thought: The Universal Presence of a ‘Reasonable Man’ By Johnny Michael Sakr Submitted in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy University of Notre Dame Australia School of Law February 2019 SYNOPSIS This thesis proposes that all legal systems use objective standards as an integral part of their conceptual foundation. To demonstrate this point, this thesis will show that Jewish law, ancient Athenian law, Roman law and canon law use an objective standard like English common law’s ‘reasonable person’ to judge human behaviour.
  • Torah Online - Rabbi Tuvia Bolton

    Torah Online - Rabbi Tuvia Bolton

    Torah Online - Rabbi Tuvia Bolton This week's section explains how the Land of Israel was to be divided among the twelve tribes: 1) The largest tribe got the largest area. 2) The "Urim and Tumim" in the Breastplate of the Cohen Gadol miraculously decided. 3) Lots were drawn, arbitrarily matching each tribe with an area. This doesn't seem to make sense. If the land is allocated according to population, what was the point of consulting the Urim and Tumim, or casting lots? Even more importantly; what has all this got to do with us today? We don't even have a holiday celebrating the day we entered Israel. I want to answer with a story. A very successful businessman, a Chabad Chassid by the name of Rabbi Chaim Gutnick who lived in Sydney Australia, was invited by the small Jewish community of "Adalide" to serve as their Cantor for the High Holy Days. Rabbi Gutnick refused on the spot. True, he had a pleasant voice, but he also had four small children at home, and no desire to travel so far (several hour's flight), no need for the money, and no intention of becoming a Rabbi or a Cantor. "They have a few months, let them find someone else." He thought to himself. Two weeks later he was surprised to see in his mailbox a letter from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, addressed to him. "What could this be?" he said to himself as he put on his jacket and opened the letter with trepidation.” The Rebbe wrote that he was disappointed to hear that Rabbi Gutnick refused the Adalide community.
