  • Suburbia, Gentrification and Jews Michael Lewyn
    Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center From the SelectedWorks of Michael E Lewyn February 20, 2017 Suburbia, Gentrification and Jews Michael Lewyn Available at: https://works.bepress.com/lewyn/121/ This speech is about the relationship between Judaism and suburbanization (by which I mean, the post-World War II mass movement of Americans from cities to suburbs). In particular, I’d like to address several questions, focusing on three issues: What, Why and Who Cares? The “What” in my speech asks: How extensive has suburbanization been? And has the intown revival of the past decade or so affected American Jewry? The why asks: why have some regions been affected differently than others? The “who cares” asks: is suburbanization good or bad for the Jews? To start off with, let’s talk about what happened. At one extreme, some cities have actually been pretty successful at retaining their Jewish population. In New York, for example, virtually every neighbhorhood in Manhattan is within walking distance of a synagogue, and the Upper West Side in particular is a major Jewish hub. In fact, more New York Jews live in the five boroughs than in the major suburbs; there are almost a million Jews in the five boroughs, as opposed to about 730,000 in Long Island, Westchester and Northern NJ combined. Even some smaller cities have withstood the ravages of suburbanization. In Pittsburgh, most of the region’s Orthodox population and a big chunk of the non-Orthodox population is in a neighborhood called Squirrel Hill, which is about four miles from downtown and on all of the major bus routes.

  • Hell: Never, Forever, Or Just for Awhile?
    TMSJ 9/2 (Fall 1998) 129-145 HELL: NEVER, FOREVER, OR JUST FOR AWHILE? Richard L. Mayhue Senior Vice President and Dean Professor of Theology and Pastoral Ministries The plethora of literature produced in the last two decades on the basic nature of hell indicates a growing debate in evangelicalism that has not been experienced since the latter half of the nineteenth century. This introductory article to the entire theme issue of TMSJ sets forth the context of the question of whether hell involves conscious torment forever in Gehenna for unbelievers or their annihilation after the final judgment. It discusses historical, philosophical, lexical, contextual, and theological issues that prove crucial to reaching a definitive biblical conclusion. In the end, hell is a conscious, personal torment forever; it is not “just for awhile” before annihilation after the final judgment (conditional immortality) nor is its final retribution “never” (universalism). * * * * * A few noted evangelicals such as Clark Pinnock,1 John Stott,2 and John Wenham3 have in recent years challenged the doctrine of eternal torment forever in hell as God’s final judgment on all unbelievers. James Hunter, in his landmark “sociological interpretation” of evangelicalism, notes that “. it is clear that there is a measurable degree of uneasiness within this generation of Evangelicals with the notion of an eternal damnation.”4 The 1989 evangelical doctrinal caucus “Evangelical Affirmations” surprisingly debated this issue. “Strong disagreements did surface over the position of annihilationism, a view that holds that unsaved souls 1Clark H.

    Samuel Neaman Eretz Israel from Inside and Out Samuel Neaman Reflections In this book, the author Samuel (Sam) Neaman illustrates a part of his life story that lasted over more that three decades during the 20th century - in Eretz Israel, France, Syria, in WWII battlefronts, in Great Britain,the U.S., Canada, Mexico and in South American states. This is a life story told by the person himself and is being read with bated breath, sometimes hard to believe but nevertheless utterly true. Neaman was born in 1913, but most of his life he spent outside the country and the state he was born in ERETZ and for which he fought and which he served faithfully for many years. Therefore, his point of view is from both outside and inside and apart from • the love he expresses towards the country, he also criticizes what is going ERETZ ISRAELFROMINSIDEANDOUT here. In Israel the author is well known for the reknowned Samuel Neaman ISRAEL Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology which is located at the Technion in Haifa. This institute was established by Neaman and he was directly and personally involved in all its management until he passed away a few years ago. Samuel Neaman did much for Israel’s security and FROM as a token of appreciation, all IDF’s chiefs of staff have signed a a megila. Among the signers of the megila there were: Ig’al Yadin, Mordechai Mak- lef, Moshe Dayan, Haim Laskov, Zvi Zur, Izhak Rabin, Haim Bar-Lev, David INSIDE El’arar, and Mordechai Gur.

  • Women in Israel
    Israel Studies: An Anthology - Women in Israel Women in Israel By Anat Maor (March 2010) Introduction The status of women in Israel began to take shape in context of the ideology of the Zionist movement and the First Aliyah to Israel in 1882. These gave rise to two fascinating and contradictory trends: on one hand, research indicates that Zionism, as the national liberation movement of the Jewish people, was essentially a masculine liberation movement. On the other hand, the harsh conditions of the pioneers and the need to settle the land led to prima facie equality with regard to labor and security, and to the establishment of women’s organizations during the earliest stages of the Yishuv. One of the main streams in Zionism championed the return to national independence, to Jewish defense forces, to conquest through labor, conquest of the soil, physical agricultural work, and the native Israeli (Sabra) role model. These all required attributes of physical strength, physical labor, the military, heroism in war, independence, and control. Yet, the image of the state of the Jews in exile was of feminine attributes, interpreted as weakness: spiritual power, the capacity to give, non-physical labor, culture and literature, dependence (on the gentile nations), and domestication (as well as the obligation to be confined in ghettoes). A fascinating illustration of these attributes can be seen in Michael Glozman’s recent study.[1] He analyzes Herzl’s Altneuland as a gender and sexual utopia that sees the objective of Zionism as transforming the “emaciated Jewish youth” into a “steel-cast man”; he discusses the works of Bialik, who emphasizes that the Kishinev pogrom represents “powerlessness – the most shameful illness of all,” and he brings Yosef Haim Brenner’s impressions of “this nation’s feminine virtues.” The greatest authors and poets of early Zionism – Herzl, Bialik, and Brenner – contributed to the shaping of the Jewish and Zionist national image as explicitly masculine images, muscle-bound and strong.

Towards A Boundless Ethic Henry Spira “In their behavior toward creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as pleased exemplified the most extreme racist theories, the principle that might is right.” -- Isaac Bashevis Singer Today we have particularly good reason to be concerned with the violence humans inflict on humans. But should those of us who care about the violence inflicted on men, women and children care about the violence inflicted on animals? In my own mind, the need for a consistent ethic of nonviolence for both human and non-human animals is obvious•-one is an extension of the other. When thinking of violence to animals many people may just conjure up a gun-toting trophy hunter or a sadistic psychopath torturing a dog. Yet to limit one's vision to these dramatic but occasional acts of violence is to miss the point. The real, massive violence is part of the structure of our culture-animals are considered lab tools and edibles.
