Issue 400! Toronto Torah Was the Brainchild of Naomi and Itamar Zolberg, One of Our Original Avreich Couples בס“ד Parshat Mishpatim 27 Shevat, 5779/February 2, 2019 Vol. 10 Num. 22 (#400) Welcome to Issue 400! Toronto Torah was the brainchild of Naomi and Itamar Zolberg, one of our original avreich couples. Now back home in Israel, the Zolbergs send divrei berachah for this milestone: לפני כעשור התכנסה חבורה קטנה של אברכים בהנהגת הרב מרדכי טורטשינר והרב עזריה ברזון בבית המדרש של ק ‘‘ ק קלנטון פארק על מנת ללמוד וללמד. היה בנו הרצון שהתורה שאנו לומדים תגיע לכמה שיותר קהילות בעיר ובכל ה GTA. כך נולד הרעיון של ’ טורונטו תורה ‘. במהלך השנים בית המדרש ’זכרון דב‘ הפך לשם דבר בעיר והטורנטו תורה הגיע לתפוצה גדולה יותר. הייתה לנו הזכות להיות חלק ביוזמה המבורכת של בית המדרש ושל ’טורונטו תורה‘. זכות גדולה עוד יותר לראות כיצד אותה יוזמה קטנה מלפני שנים המשיכה והגיעה ל 044 גליונות! מאחל לכל יהודי טורונטו להמשיך להנות מתורתו של בית המדרש ומ ’ טורונטו תורה ‘ עוד שנים רבות בהנהגתו של הרב טורטשינר ושנזכה לראות את הגאולה הקרובה בביאת משיח צדקנו, במהרה בימינו, אכי‘‘ר. משפחת זולבג, שדרות About a decade ago, a small group of avreichim, led by Rabbi Mordechai Torczyner and Rabbi Azarya Berzon, gathered in the beit midrash of Clanton Park Synagogue to learn and teach. We desired that the Torah we learned should reach as many Toronto and GTA congregations as possible. Thus was born the idea for “Toronto Torah”. Over the years, Beit Midrash Zichron Dov has gained a name in the city, and Toronto Torah has achieved great circulation. We had the merit to be part of the blessed initiative of the Beit Midrash and of Toronto Torah. It is an even greater merit to see how a small initiative, years ago, has continued and reached 400 issues! We wish for all of Jewish Toronto to continue to enjoy the Torah of the Beit Midrash and “Toronto Torah” for many more years, under the leadership of Rabbi Torczyner, and may we merit to see the imminent redemption with the arrival of Mashiach, quickly in our days. Amen, kein yehi ratzon.

  • Translation” by Artscroll, the Rogochover and the Radichkover
    Another “Translation” by Artscroll, the Rogochover and the Radichkover Another “Translation” by Artscroll, the Rogochover and the Radichkover Marc B. Shapiro 1. As I discuss in Changing the Immutable, sometimes a choice of translation serves as a means of censorship. In other words, one does not need to delete a text. Simply mistranslating it will accomplish one’s goal. Jay Shapiro called my attention to an example of this in the recent ArtScroll translation of Sefer ha-Hinukh, no. 467. In discussing the prohibition to gash one’s body as idol- worshippers so, Sefer ha-Hinukh states: אבל שנשחית גופנו ונקלקל עצמנו כשוטים, לא טוב לנו ולא דרך חכמים ואנשי בינה היא, רק מעשה המון הנשים הפחותות וחסרי הדעת שלא הבינו דבר במעשה הא-ל ונפלאותיו. The Feldheim edition ofSefer ha-Hinnukh, with Charles Wengrov’s translation, reads as follows: But that we should be be destructive to our body and injure ourselves like witless fools—this is not good for us, and is not the way of the wise and the people of understanding. It is solely the activity of the mass of low, inferior women lacking in sense, who have understood nothing of God’s handiwork and his wonders. This is a correct translation. However, Artscroll “translates” -as “masses of small המון הנשים הפחותות וחסרי הדעת the words minded and unintelligent people.” This is clearly a politically correct translation designed to avoid dealing with Sefer ha-Hinukh’s negative comment about the female masses. I will only add that Sefer ha-Hinukh’s statement is indeed troubling. Why did he need to throw in “the women”? His point would have been the exact same leaving this out, as we can see from ArtScroll’s “translation.” Knowing what we know about the “small-minded unintelligent” men in medieval times, it is hard to see why he had to pick on women in this comment, as the masses of ignorant men would have also been a good target for his put-down.

Tzadik is also the root of the word tzedakah ('charity', literally 'righteousness'). The term tzadik "righteous", and its associated meanings, developed in Rabbinic thought from its Talmudic contrast with hasid ("pious" honorific), to its exploration in Ethical literature, and its esoteric spiritualisation in Kabbalah. Since the late 17th century, in Hasidic Judaism, the institution of the mystical tzadik as a divine channel assumed central importance, combining popularization of (hands- on) Jewish mysticism with social movement for the first time.[1] Adapting former Kabbalistic theosophical terminology, Hasidic thought internalised mystical Joseph interprets Pharaoh's Dream experience, emphasising deveikut attachment to its Rebbe leadership, who embody (Genesis 41:15–41).

  • Judaism and Jewish Philosophy 19 Judaism, Jews and Holocaust Theology
    Please see the Cover and Contents in the last pages of this e-Book Online Study Materials on JUDAISM AND JEWISH PHILOSOPHY 19 JUDAISM, JEWS AND HOLOCAUST THEOLOGY JUDAISM Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people, based on principles and ethics embodied in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the Talmud. According to Jewish tradition, the history of Judaism begins with the Covenant between God and Abraham (ca. 2000 BCE), the patriarch and progenitor of the Jewish people. Judaism is among the oldest religious traditions still in practice today. Jewish history and doctrines have influenced other religions such as Christianity, Islam and the Bahá’í Faith. While Judaism has seldom, if ever, been monolithic in practice, it has always been monotheistic in theology. It differs from many religions in that central authority is not vested in a person or group, but in sacred texts and traditions. Throughout the ages, Judaism has clung to a number of religious principles, the most important of which is the belief in a single, omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent, transcendent God, who created the universe and continues to govern it. According to traditional Jewish belief, the God who created the world established a covenant with the Israelites, and revealed his laws and commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of the Torah, and the Jewish people are the descendants of the Israelites. The traditional practice of Judaism revolves around study and the observance of God’s laws and commandments as written in the Torah and expounded in the Talmud. With an estimated 14 million adherents in 2006, Judaism is approximately the world’s eleventh-largest religious group.
