Littell and Hubert G. Locke in 1970, The Annual Scholars’ Conference on the Holocaust and the Churches provides an invaluable forum for scholars to report the latest findings in Holocaust research, ensuring the lessons of the Holocaust remain relevant for today’s world. As the first Conference bringing together Christian and Jewish scholars to examine the lessons of the Holocaust and its message for contemporary society forty-four years ago, the ASC is the oldest continuing conference of its kind in North America and remains the only one to include discussions of the role and responsibilities of the Churches, the Universities, the large Corporations and the Professions (medicine, law and media). The continuing goal of the ASC is to aspire to the continuum of respecting the past, with a realistic involvement of the present, in order that we preserve a future that retains the dignity and integrity of every human person.

  • “Silence Is Your Praise” Maimonides' Approach To
    Rabbi Rafael Salber “Silence is your praise” Maimonides’ Approach to Knowing God: An Introduction to Negative Theology Rabbi Rafael Salber The prophet Isaiah tells us, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways. 73 The content of this verse suggests the inability of mankind to comprehend the knowledge and thoughts of God, as well as the 73 Isaiah 55: 8- 9. The context of the verse is that Isaiah is conveying the message to the people of Israel that the ability to return to God (Teshuvah) is available to them, since the “traits” of God are conducive to this. See Moreh Nevuchim ( The Guide to the Perplexed ) 3:20 and the Sefer haIkkarim Maamar 2, Ch. 3. 65 “Silence is your praise”: Maimonides’ Approach to Knowing God: An Introduction to Negative Theology divergence of “the ways” of God and the ways of man. The extent of this dissimilarity is clarified in the second statement, i.e. that it is not merely a distance in relation, but rather it is as if they are of a different category altogether, like the difference that exists between heaven and earth 74 . What then is the relationship between mankind and God? What does the prophet mean when he describes God as having thoughts and ways; how is it even possible to describe God as having thoughts and ways? These perplexing implications are further compounded when one is introduced to the Magnum Opus of Maimonides 75 , the Mishneh Torah .

I'm sure we're all anxiously watching events in S. Africa in the hope that the transition will be as peaceful as possible. Of course events in the north over the past week also add to one's daily worries. A bit difficult to talk about holidays and having a good time under such circumstances, but 1 suppose life must carry on and maybe "dafka" because of the daily strain you owe it to yourself to take a break every now and then!!! After the few blasts in Turkey, there has been a definite drop off in interest. The best deals are still to be had to Antalya, Marmaris etc. where a week's package H/Board can be had for approx. $585.- II! The Greek Islands of Rhodes, Crete, Samos, Santorini and Corfu are all being serviced by direct charter flights this summer with packages from $650 - $990 depending on type of hotel etc. With El-Al starting direct flights to Paphos in Cyprus its also become very popular this year with very inexpensive 3 nite 4 nite or 7 nite packages at beautiful hotels. All the above should carry on until the middle of October.

The editorial cited as examples the open letter signed by 100 leaders and graduates of mainstream left-wing Zionist movements, asserting that ‘ending the occupation… is a principle of our Zionism’ and the group of young British Jews who said ‘Kaddish for Gaza’ in Parliament Square. The Fathom editors believe that the journal can provide a useful platform for this ongoing debate.
