Adult reviews will be starting on the first page in the September-October and January-February issues, while Child & Teen reviews will be first in line in the November-December and May-June issues. Reviews of Nonfiction Titles for Adults EDITED BY DANIEL SCHEIDE AND REBECCA JEFFERSON Ackerman-Lieberman, Phillip I. The Business of Identity: Jews, Muslims, and Economic Life in Medieval Egypt. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2014. 446 pp. $65.00 (9780804787161). The “Documentary Genizah” is a term referring to the pages found in the Cairo Genizah that are not fragments from copies of literary works such as prayer books or volumes of Talmud, but rather unique documents, written for a specific purpose. It includes personal letters, noteBooks and scribbled notes, court records, and business contracts, most of which were written in Judeo-Arabic. Ackerman-Lieberman took on the task of studying the partnership contracts preserved in the Genizah, which reflect the commercial practices of Jews in Egypt and the region in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.

  • Yom Yerushalayim Honor Roll
    Yom Yerushalayim Honor Roll MY COMMUNITY IS PROUD TO CELEBRATE THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF YOM YERUSHALAYIM. Yom Yerushalayim 2017 will take place on Wednesday, May 24th. In celebration of this historic milestone the RZA-Mizrachi is preparing an Honor Roll of synagogues and schools who will be organizing t’fillot and festivities to mark this occasion. Fifty years ago, through the miracle of the Six Day War, the holy city of Jerusalem was reunited. As the soul-stirring cry of “Har Habayit b’yadeinu” rang out, Israel’s courageous young soldiers fulfilled the hopes and dreams of countless generations. At long last, the destroyed synagogues of the Old City would be rebuilt; the desecrated graves on the Mount of Olives would be restored; and the Kotel would resume its rightful place at the center of the Jewish universe. Yom Yerushalayim both commemorates that incredible moment in time and symbolizes the joining of G-d, Torah, and the Land of Israel, now and forever. On this 50th anniversary of the reunification of the eternal capital of the Jewish people, we renew our commitment to protecting the safety and sanctity of united Jerusalem.

    To the esteemed members of the Orthodox Union’s executive committee and board of directors, in response to your questions: 1) Is it halakhically acceptable for a synagogue to employ a woman in a clergy function? 2) What is the broadest spectrum of professional roles within a synagogue that may be performed by a woman?1 These inquires must be answered in a way that goes beyond a simple yes or no, permitted or prohibited. The issue of female clergy is complex, and touches upon not only the dictates of halakhah, but also upon fundamental issues in our hashkafat olam. Indeed, the questions relate to the philosophy of the halakhic process itself. Furthermore, we recognize that this issue is emotionally charged; some perceive limitations on women’s roles and titles as barriers to full involvement in the Orthodox community, while others view the lifting of traditional gender distinctions in ritual as representing a rejection of the mesorah. This tension pits egalitarianism, a central value of modernity, against a time-honored tradition that clearly speaks of equally valued, yet different, roles for men and women. In contemporary discourse, rabbinic discussion of these issues often appear to focus primarily on what functions performed by men are inappropriate for women. By contrast, our intention is to define halakhic parameters with the goal of clarifying practical roles that women can and, depending on the particular kehillah, indeed should, play in our community institutions. The following represents our collective opinion. For the reasons noted above, we will begin with an outline of halakhic methodology. Halakhic Methodology There are three primary factors that may be considered by a halakhic decisor when developing a ruling: legal sources, precedent, and a relevant halakhic ethos.
