They went from topic to topic, without pause, and their conversations were recorded, transcribed and later published. During the first visit in 1983, the Rebbe asked the chief rabbis how they felt being outside of Israel. My father said that he had never left the Holy Land before, and that the time away was very difficult for him. To bring him comfort, the Rebbe expounded on the Torah verse, “Jacob lifted his feet and went to the land of the people of the East,” pointing out that while Jacob’s departure from the Land of Israel was a spiritual descent, y father, Rabbi Avraham Shapira, served as the later it turned out that this descent was for the sake of a MAshkenazi chief rabbi of Israel from 1983 until 1993, greater ascent.

  • Oneg 6 – Toldos 2018
    1 Oneg! A collection of fascinating material on the weekly parsha! Rabbi Elchanan Shoff Parshas TOLDOS Avraham begat Yitzchak (Gen. 25:19). The Or Hachaim and R. Shlomo Kluger (Chochmas Hatorah, Toldos p. 3) explain that it was in Avraham’s merit that G-d accepted Yitzchak’s prayers and granted him offspring. Rashi (to Gen. 15:15, 25:30) explains that G-d had Avraham die five years earlier than he otherwise should have in order that Avraham would not see Yitzchak’s son Esau stray from the proper path. I saw in the name of R. Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld (Chochmas Chaim to Toldos) that if Yitzchak had not campaigned vigorously in prayer to father a child, G-d would have granted him children anyways after five years. So in which merit did Yitzchak father his children, in Avraham’s merit or in the merit of his own prayers? Both are true: It was only in Avraham’s merit that Yitzchak deserved to father Yaakov and Esau, but the fact that the twins were born earlier rather than later came in merit of Yitzchak’s prayers. R. Sonnenfeld adds that the Torah’s expression equals in Gematria the (748 = ויעתר לו י-ה-ו-ה) that denotes G-d heeding Yitzchak’s prayers .The above sefer records that when a grandson of R .)748 = חמש שנים) phrase five years Sonnenfeld shared this Gematria with R. Aharon Kotler, he was so taken aback that he exclaimed, “I am certain that this Gematria was revealed through Ruach HaKodesh!” Yitzchak was forty years old when he took Rivkah—the daughter of Besuel the Aramite from Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramite—as a wife (Gen.

  • Israelis Condemn Racist Attack in Jerusalem
    Israelis Condemn Racist Attack in Jerusalem Our thanks to Lilly Rivlin for informing us of this commentary by Anat Hoffman, a former Meretz member of the Jerusalem city council who now serves as executive director of the Israel Religious Action Center. This JTA op-ed begins with a mention of Lilly’s cousin, Reuven Rivlin: Anat Hoffman After Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin (a leader in the Likud party) visited 17-year-old Jamal Julany, one of the victims of the racist attack in Zion Square he apologized to the victim: “We are sorry… It is hard to see you hospitalized because of an inconceivable act… What happened is the responsibility of every leader and Member of Knesset.” …. An honest evaluation will reveal that this unprovoked attack on three Arab youths by dozens of Israeli teenagers is part of a phenomenon much broader than the character of these youths. It is a result of the chronology of prolonged government tolerance towards Jewish religious extremism and its manifestations and of the Israeli government’s tacit acceptance of racist incitement towards Israel’s Arab minority by certain members of Knesset and a number of extreme Orthodox rabbis. Every religion has its extremists. Judaism is no different. The leading rabbinic figure in this raging culture war is the Chief Rabbi of Safed, Shmuel Eliyahu. He has repeatedly called Israel’s 1.2 million Arab citizens “the enemy.” He urged Jews not to rent or sell apartments to Arabs, and he claims all Arabs have a violent nature. In his manifesto (published in March 2008) he writes, “The time has come to tell the truth.

    Israel’s Chief Rabbis II: Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu R’ Mordechai Torczyner - [email protected] A Brief Biography (continued) 1. Rabbi Yehuda Heimowitz, Maran Harav Ovadia At a reception for Harav Ovadia at the home of Israel’s president attended by the Cabinet and the leaders of the military, President Zalman Shazar and Prime Minister Golda Meir both urged the new Rishon LeZion to find some way for the Langer children to marry. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan was particularly open about the government’s expectations, declaring, “I don’t care how you find a heter, the bottom line is that we have to rule leniently for those who were prevented from marrying.” By the time Harav Ovadia rose to address the crowd, the atmosphere in the room had grown tense, and it seemed at first that he would capitulate and guarantee to provide the solution they sought. His opening words were: “I am from a line of Rishon LeZions dating back more than 300 years,” he began, “all of whom worked with koha d’heteira to try to solve halachic issues that arose.” But before anyone could misinterpret his words, Harav Ovadia declared, “However, halacha is not determined at Dizengoff Square; it is determined in the beit midrash and by the Shulhan Aruch. If there is any way to be lenient and permit something, the Sephardic hachamim will be the first ones to rule leniently. But if there is no way to permit something, and after all the probing, investigating, and halachic examination that we do, we still cannot find a basis to allow it, we cannot permit something that is prohibited, Heaven forbid.”… On November 15, exactly one month after their election, Harav Ovadia felt that he had no choice but to report to the press that his Ashkenazi counterpart had issued an ultimatum four days earlier: If Harav Ovadia would not join him on a new three-man beit din, Chief Rabbi Goren would cut off all contact with him and refuse to participate in a joint inaugural ceremony.

  • A Report on the Occupied Territories (Including Areas Subject to the Jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority) Is Appended at the End of This Report
    A report on the Occupied Territories (including areas subject to the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority) is appended at the end of this report. The Israeli Basic Law on Human Dignity and Liberty (basic law) protects religious freedom through reference to the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel, which describes the country as a Jewish state with full social and political equality, regardless of religious affiliation, and promises freedom of religion. In practice, the government generally protected religious freedom. While there is no constitution, government policy contributed to the generally free practice of religion, although governmental and legal discrimination against non-Jews and non-Orthodox streams of Judaism continued. For example government allocations of state resources favored Orthodox (including Modern Orthodox and religious Zionist) and ultra-Orthodox (sometimes referred to as "Haredi") Jewish religious groups and institutions. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. Although the government generally protected religious freedom, some laws and policies continued to promote certain Orthodox Jewish values over other religious beliefs. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. Some individuals and groups were responsible for discriminatory practices against Israeli-Arab Muslims, Christians, and Messianic Jews at the same elevated level cited in the previous report. Relations among religious and ethnic groups -- between Jews and non-Jews, Muslims and Christians, Arabs and non-Arabs, secular and religious Jews, and among the different streams of Judaism -- were strained during the reporting period. The U.S.

  • Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D
    Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.
