  • Behind the Miracle
    ב“ה An inspiring story for your Shabbos table ערב שבת פרשת שמות, כ׳ טבת, תשע״ו HERE’S Erev Shabbos Parshas Shemos, January 1, 2016 my STORY BEHIND THE Generously MIRACLE sponsored by the RABBI ZEV SEGAL first met the Rebbe in the early 1950s, shortly after he had assumed leadership of Chabad-Lubavitch Iand shortly after I was appointed chairman of the Israel Commission of the Rabbinical Council of America. In this capacity I was involved with issues affecting religious life in the State of Israel, which were of great interest to the Rebbe. And so, we frequently met to discuss the highly controversial issues of the day, such as religious women serving in the IDF, the place of non-Jews in the Jewish state, how the state should define who is a Jew, and so on. Many a time, I came to see him at about midnight and left at four in the morning. During those meetings, it became apparent to me that the Rebbe had a tremendous amount of knowledge of what was going on in Israel, including many minute details. He knew who was who in the Knesset and in every one that the Rebbe had studied at the Sorbonne and was of its subcommittees. He knew of every government as well versed in the sciences as in Torah. This was meeting on every subject, and who was against or unheard of in a chasidic Rebbe, and it impressed Ben for a particular position. It was quite an experience Gurion to no end. to listen to him speak about government meetings As my work with the Rabbinical Council of America as though he was there.

  • Yes, We Can Rely on Miracles

  • Nature and Its Discontents
    Editor’s Thoughts: Nature and Its Discontents kolhamevaser.com/2019/01/28/editors-thoughts-nature-and-its-discontents/ kolhamevaser January 29, 2019 By: Daniel Shlian The word “nature” is rich with differing meanings. When a chemist describes something as “natural,” a purveyor of organic food products might disagree[i]. One person’s proclivity in any number of realms might be described as unnatural by those who do not share them, but is perfectly natural to those who do. Absent a rigorous definition, then, the word loses much of its usefulness. Despite the word’s vagueness, for many, “natural” implies something desirable and positive, perhaps idyllic, or “the way things were meant to be.” But should it imply desirability? The twentieth-century English philosopher G. E. Moore described the naturalistic fallacy: it is invalid to conclude that something is good from any of its natural properties.[ii] If something has the quality of being pleasant, that does not make it good. In Moore’s view, good is an irreducible property, not derivable from any other properties, just as the concept of “yellow” does not depend on any other concept, neither does the idea of “good.”[iii] Later philosophers have disputed Moore’s contentions, but as a purely logical tool; relating the good and the natural is not useful. I am neither an ethicist nor a philosopher, but I will phrase the question in slightly different terms: in a religious worldview wherein creation is a Divine process and nature is put in place by God, is “natural” better? Should we attempt to leave things in the universe the way they are, or are we meant to use the World for our own ends? Not at all surprisingly, Judaism’s sources are not quiet on the topic, but neither do they speak in a unified voice.

  • Why Should a Jew (Or Anyone) Read the Bible?
    Ari Kaiman Philosophy Seminar Why Should A Jew (or anyone) Read the Bible? - 1 - How audacious is the Bible! What gives those words the right to claim to be God's Word? Perhaps the right is given from the first chapter of the Bible, which begins, "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth" No author but God could have written such words that bore witness to the unfathomable beginnings of the world! Other accounts of the beginning of the world have been discarded as myth, while the book of Genesis is still read as our creation myth. Until, perhaps, this generation. For the first time in human history, scientists are writing theories of the origin of the universe that are based on empirical observations. Scientists themselves may not be claiming truth to their theories, but there is a sense that it may be possible to explain the origin of the universe with data, and not myth. Perhaps the right of the Bible to claim Divinity is derived through its description of human origins. How is it possible for man to understand our own origins? The only author who could make that claim is God. Along comes Darwin and revolutionizes our understanding of our own origins and our significance on earth. Perhaps the right is derived from the tradition that God revealed the Torah at Mount Sinai. When God spoke, the entire community heard something, but were afraid, and so trusted Moses as the prophet to record the words. The Torah includes the phrase "And God said to Moses," and so Torah is God's word.

  • HERE's My STORY
    ב“ה An inspiring story for your Shabbos table ערב שבת חול המועד פסח, י״ח ניסן, תשע״ז HERE’S Erev Shabbos Chol Hamoed Pesach, April 14, 2017 my STORY Generously A SON’S CONCERN sponsored by the RABBI CHAIM ELOZOR GORELIK was born in 1946 in the city of Lvov, Ukraine. Due to its close proximity to the Polish border, Lvov became the I gateway for smuggling Jews out of the Soviet Union. My father was an artist, so he would create counterfeit passports for Jews who wanted to escape to the free world via Poland. During the year I was born, he was caught and sentenced to harsh labor in the Siberian Gulag. In 1971, when we were living in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, my brother, Shalom Ber, received an exit visa and immigrated to the United States. When he arrived, he sent the Rebbe a picture of the resting place of his father, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson. Rabbi Levi Yitzchak had been the rabbi of Yekatrinoslav, Ukraine, when he was arrested by the Soviets for religious activism. He was then exiled to Kazakhstan, where he passed away in 1944 in the city of Alma Ata (which is about 400 miles from Tashkent). Later, when Shalom Ber went to visit the Chabad to leave in one month’s time. But if the government found Headquarters in New York, the Rebbe – who never had the out that I was involved in repairing a Jewish headstone, they chance to see his father’s resting place – thanked him for could easily rescind their permission.
