  • For the Sake of the Children: a Synagogue Guide to Public School Partnerships
    FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN: A SYNAGOGUE GUIDE TO PUBLIC SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS אין העולם מתקיים אלא בשביל הבל תינוקות For the sake of the children, God sustains the world. Talmud, Shabbat 119b http://www.rac.org/pubs/partnership.html 1 INTRODUCTION At the 2001 UAHC Biennial, Rabbi Eric Yoffie called upon Reform Jews to make public education a priority for the Movement. We have done that in a variety of forums, from the public policy arena to the social service sector. See, for example, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism web page “Protecting the Wall, Supporting Our Schools; The Reform Movement’s Campaign for Public Education.” (www.rac.org/pubs/schools.html) This manual is the latest of these initiatives designed to enable our synagogues to address the vital concerns faced by public schools in their communities. By creating partnerships with their local public schools, Reform congregations will embody both the ideals of our Jewish tradition and the civic values that have strengthened our nation. Through such projects congregations will build new bridges within communities and ensure local children a strong educational foundation. We must do it for the sake of the children. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Our appreciation extends to many members of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC) staff. Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the (RAC), and Mark Pelavin, Associate Director of the RAC, reviewed this publication and offered their thoughtful suggestions for its improvement. RAC Legislative Assistants Randi Levine (2002-2003), Sheryl Shapiro (2003-2004) and Rob Levy (2003- 2004) provided research assistance and Machon Kaplan Interns Jill Cozen-Harel and Marisa Geer initiated the writing process under the supervision of RAC Program Director, Rabbi Michael Namath.

  • Rav Kook and Dr. Revel: a Shared Vision for a Central Universal Yeshiva?
    NATAN OPHIR Rav Kook and Dr. Revel: A Shared Vision for a Central Universal Yeshiva? his article examines a little known episode in the history of two famous schools, Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav-Central Universal TYeshiva (CUY) 1 and the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS). Specifically, it examines several exchanges between R. Abraham Isaac Kook and R. Dr. Bernard Revel. Their discussion began in 1918, continued when R. Kook visited New York in 1924, and culminated in a written proposal by Dr. Revel on May 17, 1927. The proposal would have meant uniting what we now call the Torah u- Madda 2 ideology developed in New York with Torat Ere z. Yisrael of Jerusalem. There are lacunae in this story that leave room for speculation. Nevertheless, the main plot will, I believe, be of special interest to read - ers of this journal, and may give rise to interesting observations about the protagonists. Besides adding a chapter to the history of Torah u- Madda in the twentieth century, this story provides a glimpse into a rel - atively unknown phase in the early development of both Yeshiva College and CUY. NATAN OPHIR (O FFENBACHER ) directs Meorot, a center in Jerusalem for Jewish Meditation and Neuro-Psychology. An alumnus of Yeshiva College, he received ordination from Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav and a Ph.D in Jewish Philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he served as rabbi of the campus for sixteen years. He has published articles in Daat , Tehumin , and other scholarly journals. 188 The Torah u-Madda Journal (15/2008-09) Natan Ophir 189 R.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
