  • The Question of Yom Tov Sheini for Visitors to Israel RABBI MAYER RABINOWITZ

    The Question of Yom Tov Sheini for Visitors to Israel RABBI MAYER RABINOWITZ

    The Question of Yom Tov Sheini for Visitors to Israel RABBI MAYER RABINOWITZ This paper was adopted on May 28, 1981 by a vote of 12-2-1. Members voting in favor: Rabbis Kassel Abelson, Ephraim L. Bennett, Ben Zion Bokser, David M. Feldman, Wolfe Kelman, David H. Lincoln, Mayer E. Rabinowitz, Alexander M. Shapiro, Morris M. Shapiro, Israel N. Silverman, Harry Z. Sky and Henry A. Sosland. Members voting in opposition: Rabbis Joel Roth and Phillip Sigal. Abstaining: Rabbi Edward M. Gershfield. SHE'ELAH Should a visitor to Israel observe Yom Tov Sheini or should he follow the custom of Eretz Yisrael to only observe one day of a Yom Tov? TESHUVAH The prevailing practice has been that a visitor to Israel observes Yom Tov Sheini. This is based on Mishnah Pesahim 4:1: Notnin alav humrei makom sheyatza misham ve/Jumrei makom shehalakh lesham (We impose on him the restrictions of the place from where he came and the restrictions of the place where he has gone). Based upon the discussion in the Gemara Pesahim 5la, and following the opinion of Rav Ashi that the Mishnah refers to a person who intends to return to his place of abode (da'ato lahzor), many posekim have stated that visitors to Israel must obseiVe Yom Tov Sheini if they intend to return to the Diaspora (Arukh H ashulhan, Orah Hayyim 496:5; Mishnah Berurah, ibid., par. 13). InMa'aseh Geonim (no. 47, pp. 31-32), we find the opinion that a visitor to Israel must observe Yom Tov Sheini. Only after dwelling in Israel for twelve months would the "visitor" be considered a resident and a part of the community.

    “Official Position” of the CJLS Nor of the Rabbinical Assembly

    N.B. This paper represents solely the opinion of the author and is not an “official position” of the CJLS nor of the Rabbinical Assembly. Emergency Ruling in Regard to Livestreaming Services Rabbi David J Fine, PhD President, New Jersey Rabbinical Assembly March 14, 2020 Psak Din: In the current state of emergency, where most of our congregations have closed their doors in the midst of the containment efforts of the COVID-19 crisis, live streamed services of even a single individual (the shaliah tzibbur) may be deemed a minyan when at least nine others eligible to count in a minyan are connected to the site at the time of the live streaming. In 2001, the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Conservative movement (CJLS) approved a responsum by Rabbi Avram Israel Reisner by a vote of 18-2, that permitted one to perform one’s obligation to participate in prayer, hear the Torah, shofar, megillah and say kaddish when connected to a minyan through the internet. However, Rabbi Reisner required a minyan of ten eligible Jews to constitute a live minyan at the source of the “broadcast.” That decision was reasoned through a careful reading of the relevant precedents regarding when one can fulfill an obligation when in “ear-shot” but not in the same room as the minyan, and gave important consideration as well to the importance of live face-to-face gatherings. In the nineteen years that have passed since Rabbi Reisner’s paper was approved by the CJLS, we have seen an extraordinary increase in the development and use of technology towards virtual meeting space.

In the 1982 California gubernatorial election, Jewish voters gave the African- American candidate, Tom Bradley, 75% of their vote; Jews were second only to African- Americans in their support for Bradley, exceeding even Hispanics, while the majority of the white vote went for the white Republican candidate, George Deukmejian.

    Ethnicity and Faith in American Judaism: Reconstructionism As Ideology and Institution, 1935-1959

    ETHNICITY AND FAITH IN AMERICAN JUDAISM: RECONSTRUCTIONISM AS IDEOLOGY AND INSTITUTION, 1935-1959 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Deborah Waxman May, 2010 Examining Committee Members: Lila Corwin Berman, Advisory Chair, History David Harrington Watt, History Rebecca Trachtenberg Alpert, Religion Deborah Dash Moore, External Member, University of Michigan ii ABSTRACT Title: Ethnicity and Faith in American Judaism: Reconstructionism as Ideology and Institution, 1935-1959 Candidate's Name: Deborah Waxman Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2010 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Lila Corwin Berman This dissertation addresses the development of the movement of Reconstructionist Judaism in the period between 1935 and 1959 through an examination of ideological writings and institution-building efforts. It focuses on Reconstructionist rhetorical strategies, their efforts to establish a liberal basis of religious authority, and theories of cultural production. It argues that Reconstructionist ideologues helped to create a concept of ethnicity for Jews and non-Jews alike that was distinct both from earlier ―racial‖ constructions or strictly religious understandings of modern Jewish identity. iii DEDICATION To Christina, who loves being Jewish, With gratitude and abundant love iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the product of ten years of doctoral studies, so I type these words of grateful acknowledgment with a combination of astonishment and excitement that I have reached this point. I have been inspired by extraordinary teachers throughout my studies.
