From the eighth century to the thirteenth century, Christians borrowed Jewish religious exegesis and beliefs in order to expand their own understanding of Christian religious texts.

  • Holiness and Imitatio Dei: a Jewish Perspective on the Sanctity of Teaching and Learning
    religions Article Holiness and Imitatio Dei: A Jewish Perspective on the Sanctity of Teaching and Learning Isaac Calvert McKay School of Education, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Research in Jewish studies as well as key passages from Judaism’s sacred texts describe teaching and learning as being among the most important, efficacious and sacred of God’s command- ments. However, while this description is well-documented, the specific dynamics of education’s role within a framework of Judaic holiness remains underexplored. This article first lays a thorough foundation of Judaic sanctity, illustrating a theistic axiom at its core surrounded by several peripheral elements, including connection to God, knowledge of God, holiness as invitation, reciprocal holiness, awakening sacred potentiality and, as the purpose and apex of the entire system, imitatio dei. Having illustrated imitatio dei as a culminating purpose atop the entire system of Judaic holiness, I describe how teaching and learning as prescribed in sacred Jewish texts can be a potent means of achieving this end. Considering that teaching and learning are called kaneged kulam, or equal to all the other commandments of Judaism combined, I argue that education conducted in sacred ways prescribed by Jewish scripture can be considered among Judaism’s most sacred commandments, as well as a most efficacious means of realizing imitatio dei within a Jewish frame. Keywords: holiness; sacred education; religious education; Jewish studies; Judaism; imitatio dei 1. Introduction Citation: Calvert, Isaac. 2021.

  • Shechita by a Non-Kohen on Shabbat
    ` בס"ד Volume 17 Issue 1 Shechita by a non-Kohen on Shabbat There are four critical avodot in the offering of a korban – The Aruch LaNer (31b) cites the Shaar HaMelech that also shechita (slaughter), kabbalah (collecting the blood), derives the same conclusion from Rashi. The Aruch LaNer holacha (taking the blood to the mizbeach) and zerika however disagrees. He argues that since the zar can perform (placing the blood on the mizbeach). With the beginning of shechitah, even as a first choice, how then could he violate the third perek we learn, that while ordinarily all avodah in the prohibition of performing shechitah on Shabbat, if the the Beit HaMikdash must be performed by the kohanim, Torah commands that this korban must be slaughtered? shechita can be performed by anyone. According to the Aruch LaNer, why then does Rashi make The Bartenura explains that this fact is based on the pasuk no mention of the exemption of the prohibition of Shabbat "He shall slaughter the bull before Hashem; the sons of as well. Recall that it is only public offerings that are brought Aharon the Kohanim, shall bring the blood and throw the on Shabbat. The Aruch LaNer suggests that the Beraita was blood on the alter." (Vayikra 1:5) Note that the exclusive discussing a private korban that may not be offered on kohanim involvement is only mentioned after the slaughter. Shabbat. Anyone who would do so, including a kohen, would be desecrating Shabbat. One question raised is that even though a zar (non-kohen) can perform shechitah, can the zar do so for a korban that is The Chazon Ish (Even HaEzer 134:16) also maintains that a offered on Shabbat? zar can perform shechita for a korban on Shabbat.

  • The Halakhic Parameters of Delaying Procreation
    The Halakhic Parameters of Delaying Procreation Moshe Kahn Bio: Rabbi Kahn is a teacher of Talmud and Jewish law at Stern College for Women, the Graduate Program in Advanced Talmudic Studies at Stern College, the Drisha Institute, and is a member-in-training to become a psychoanalyst at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis in New York City. Abstract: This article aims to show that there is a strong halakhic basis to allow a childless couple to postpone procreation temporarily and without an arbitrary time limit imposed. It focuses on the rulings of Rivash and Rema, who recommend that the rabbinic leadership adopt a laissez faire policy regarding marital issues The Talmudic teaching extolling zealousness is not absolute and would not apply if a delay would enhance the performance of the commandment. The fear of a premature death is not a factor with regard to the commandment to procreate.

  • Blemishes and the Fallacy of Perfection Parshat Emor Is the Parsha of Perfection. in It We're Told That the Kohen
    Blemishes and the Fallacy of Perfection Parshat Emor is the parsha of perfection. In it we’re told that the Kohen (Priest) must be perfect in order to serve. Any blemish disqualifies him – ish mi’zarakha le-dorotam asher yi’hiyeh vo mum lo yikrav le’hakriv…ish iver o phise’ah…o ish asher yi’hiyeh bo shever ragel o shever yad… “any of your seed who has a blemish shall not approach to offer…whether it be a person who is blind or lame…or has a broken leg or broken arm. (Leviticus 21:17- 19) One wonders why – why should it be that only the Kohen who is perfect can serve in the Mikdash? Perhaps it can be suggested that the prohibition does not stem as much from the Kohen as it does from the community he serves. In other words, the reason for the disqualification does not stem as much from the Kohen’s handicap, but from the congregation that is unable to accept or receive the service of someone who is less than whole. This is Maimonides' concept of accommodation, found in the “Guide of the Perplexed.” Some laws were given to the people to accommodate where they were at. In the Biblical era and in the era of the Temple, the community was uncomfortable being followers of leaders who were physically and, for that matter, mentally challenged. 1 Discomfort with those who are challenged continues to this day. Many people shun those who are disfigured, those with Down Syndrome or autism and those who are wheelchair-bound.

  • Maimonides on the Purpose of Ritual Sacrifices
    religions Essay Weaning Away from Idolatry: Maimonides on the Purpose of Ritual Sacrifices Reuven Chaim Klein Independent Researcher, Beitar Illit 90500, Israel; [email protected] Abstract: This essay explores Maimonides’ explanation of the Bible’s rationale behind the ritual sacrifices, namely to help wean the Jews away from idolatrous rites. After clearly elucidating Maimonides’ stance on the topic, this essay examines his view from different angles with various possible precedents in earlier rabbinic literature for such an understanding. The essay also shows why various other Jewish commentators objected to Maimonides’ understanding and how Maimonides might respond to those critiques. Additionally, this essay also situates Maimonides’ view on sacrifices within his broader worldview of the Bible’s commandments in general as serving as a counterweight to idolatrous rituals. Keywords: sacrifices; theology; maimonides; ritual; idolatry; paganism; cult; fetishism; nahmanides; judaism; bible; midrash; talmud; rabbinics; philosophy; rationalism; polemics; mysticism; ancient near east; bible studies 1. Maimonides’ Position In his Guide for the Perplexed (3:30, 3:32), Maimonides explains that the Torah’s main objective is to eradicate the viewpoint of paganism. Thus, to truly understand the Torah’s original intent, one must be familiar with the philosophies and practices of ancient idolaters (in Maimonidean terms, this refers to practitioners of non-monotheistic religions). Citation: Klein, Reuven Chaim. 2021. Weaning Away from Idolatry: Taking this idea a step further, Maimonides seemingly assumes that ritual sacrifices Maimonides on the Purpose of Ritual are a sub-optimal form of worship, leading him to making the bold statement that the Torah Sacrifices.

  • The Democratization of American Judaism
    1r h e [J) e mr]J(J) era It RZ <R\Jt RCO) illl CO) f AmmerRcailll J lJJldaR§mm Jonathan D. Sarna In an influential volume titled The Democratization of American Christianity, Nathan Hatch proclaimed that the "American Revolution and the beliefs flowing from it created a cultural ferment over the meaning offreedom." Common people, he showed, became significant actors on the American religious scene in the Revolution's wake. Turmoil swirled "around the crucial issues of authority, organization and leadership." The tension between traditional religious values and new American values, he concluded, provoked "a period of religious ferment, chaos, and originality unmatched in American history. "I Hatch confined his evidence to the world ofAmerican Christianity, including early Mormonism. Was the story the same with respect to America's small community of Jews? We might have supposed that Jews would have been wary of religious ferment. The small size of the American Jewish community (estimates range from one thousand 2 to twenty-five hundred ); the fact that Jews were scattered over six communities (Savannah, Charleston, Richmond, Philadelphia, New York, and Newport); and Jews' centuries-old emphasis on tradition and deference would presumably have made Jews wary of "chaos and originality." They had lived through the Protestant Great Awakening without its transforming, in any discernible way, Jewish religious life. 3 The impact of the Revolution, we might have conjectured, would likewise have been muted. And yet, the more we learn, the clearer it becomes that the Revolution's impact on the American Jewish community was anything 95 96 The Democratization ofAmerican Judaism but muted.
