    ech Chaim er K i D r t y a a v t i G h s a e t Y The Friedberg Community Initiative Program The Yedidut-Toronto Foundation Yeshivat Derech Chaim Kiryat Gat American Friends of Sderot Amutat Lapid The Max & Ruth Schwartz Hesder Institutions Mission Statement Giving back to the community is no burden on our students – it is the direct, inescapable consequence of their studies here. It is not in vain that our Yeshiva is called "Derech Chaim" – the "Path of Life". We make every effort to make it clear to our students that the Torah that they study here is not theoretical – it is geared is to lead and direct them to take those same high ideals and put them into practice in their daily lives - in their hobbies, careers and life-choices. The Rashbi Study Partners Program Twice a week, Kiryat Gat Hesder students go to study Talmud and Parshat Shavua with young students at the nearby "Rashbi" Mamlachti Dati elementary school. Due to its proximity our students can now engage in this activity twice a week and the young children are in turn encouraged to visit the Yeshiva as well. In general, these children come from very economically and religiously challenged backgrounds. Having a "big brother" from the local Hesder Yeshiva is invaluable in building their respect for Torah and connecting them to proper role models. Community Rabbinate Program Amit L’Mishpacha A number of our Rabbis also serve as the beloved The Family Associate Program spiritual leaders of different local congregations. In this context, they are busy giving talks and lectures as well as helping families in their community in various ways.

  • Tehillat Hashem and Other Verses Before Birkat Ha-Mazon
    301 Tehillat Hashem and Other Verses Before Birkat Ha-Mazon By: ZVI RON In this article we investigate the origin and development of saying vari- ous Psalms and selected verses from Psalms before Birkat Ha-Mazon. In particular, we will attempt to explain the practice of some Ashkenazic Jews to add Psalms 145:21, 115:18, 118:1 and 106:2 after Ps. 126 (Shir Ha-Ma‘alot) and before Birkat Ha-Mazon. Psalms 137 and 126 Before Birkat Ha-Mazon The earliest source for reciting Ps. 137 (Al Naharot Bavel) before Birkat Ha-Mazon is found in the list of practices of the Tzfat kabbalist R. Moshe Cordovero (1522–1570). There are different versions of this list, but all versions include the practice of saying Al Naharot Bavel.1 Some versions specifically note that this is to recall the destruction of the Temple,2 some versions state that the Psalm is supposed to be said at the meal, though not specifically right before Birkat Ha-Mazon,3 and some versions state that the Psalm is only said on weekdays, though no alternative Psalm is offered for Shabbat and holidays.4 Although the ex- act provenance of this list is not clear, the parts of it referring to the recitation of Ps. 137 were already popularized by 1577.5 The mystical work Seder Ha-Yom by the 16th century Tzfat kabbalist R. Moshe ben Machir was first published in 1599. He also mentions say- ing Al Naharot Bavel at a meal in order to recall the destruction of the 1 Moshe Hallamish, Kabbalah in Liturgy, Halakhah and Customs (Ramat Gan: Bar Ilan University Press, 2000), pp.

  • Sderot – the Central Hesder Yeshiva and the “Shluchot” Revolution!
    Sderot – The Central Hesder Yeshiva and the “Shluchot” Revolution! The Torah Revolution in Sderot The Central Max and Ruth Schwartz Hesder Yeshiva of Sderot was founded over 15 years ago and now has more than 400 students. The rapid growth of the Yeshiva despite the thousands of missiles aimed at Sderot, together with the construction of a magnificent campus has served to strengthen the spirit of all the residents and uplift the status of Torah throughout the region. Over the years Sderot has become just about the largest Hesder Yeshiva in Israel and is blessed with a very high religious and scholastic level. 400 strong in the main study hall Unique Outreach Affiliate Institutions The Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi David Fendel, a literal powerhouse behind so many local projects - both spiritual and material – came on Aliyah from the United States to build both his home and a world of Torah in Sderot. In addition to building our main Hesder institution, Rabbi Fendel led a true revolution in the yeshiva world when he insisted on establishing and receiving official recognition for 2 affiliate institutions (“Shluchot” in Hebrew) serving a more varied clientele than other Hesder Yeshivot. Rav Fendel believed that with the right approach, with a warm and unique staff it would be possible to reach out and attract graduates of regular religious high schools and turn them into proud Torah-true Jews and soldiers imbued with deep faith and self- sacrifice. To achieve this goal Sderot has established two affiliates– Yeshivat Lev La’Daat also in Sderot led by Rabbi Shlomo Binyamin now numbering about 130 students and Yeshivat Derech Chaim in Kiryat Gat headed by Rabbi Amir Maman with over 70 students.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION RECOVERING A REPRESSED PAS T On February 12, 2013, Ruth Calderon was invited to the dais of the Israeli Knesset to deliver her firs t speech as a newly-elected member of parliament.1 The speech was unlike any given in the his tory of deliberations in Israel’s legislature in that it consis ted primarily of her reading and interpreting a Talmudic s tory. The Talmudic s tory that Calderon read before the Knesset, firs t in the original Aramaic and then in Hebrew translation, was, as is typical of these s tories, very brief: Rabbi Rahumi s tudied under Rava in Mehoza. He would regularly come home to his wife on the eve of Yom Kippur. One day [on the eve of Yom Kippur] the topic [he was s tudying] drew him in. His wife anticipated him, “He is coming. He is coming.” He did not come. She began to grieve. She shed a tear from her eye. He was sitting on a roof. The roof collapsed under him, and he died. (B. Ketubot 62b)2 The s tory reflects what appears to have been a common practice among rabbinic scholars in Babylonia: to absent themselves from home for long periods of time to s tudy Torah. The author of the s tory expresses his disapproval of this cus tom by portraying empathically the emotional s tress experienced by Rabbi Rahumi’s wife when he was so engaged in Torah s tudy that he forgot to return home for the sacred holiday. The excitement captured in her cry of anticipation, “He is coming.
