  • Jewish Intertestamental and Early Rabbinic Literature: an Annotated Bibliographic Resource Updated Again (Part 2)
    JETS 63.4 (2020): 789–843 JEWISH INTERTESTAMENTAL AND EARLY RABBINIC LITERATURE: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHIC RESOURCE UPDATED AGAIN (PART 2) DAVID W. CHAPMAN AND ANDREAS J. KÖSTENBERGER* Part 1 of this annotated bibliography appeared in the previous issue of JETS (see that issue for an introduction to this resource). This again is the overall struc- ture: Part 1: 1. General Reference Tools; 2. Old Testament Versions; 3. Apocrypha; 4. Pseudepigrapha; Part 2: 5. Dead Sea Scrolls; 6. Individual Authors (Philo, Jose- phus, Pseudo-Philo, Fragmentary Works); 7. Rabbinic Literature; 8. Other Early Works from the Rabbinic Period; 9. Addenda to Part 1. 5. DEAD SEA SCROLLS While the Dead Sea Scrolls are generally associated with Qumran, properly they also cover discoveries from approximately a dozen other sites in the desert wilderness surrounding the Dead Sea, such as those at Naal ever, Murabbaat, and Masada. The approximately 930 MSS from Qumran were penned from the 3rd c. BC through the 1st c. AD. The Masada texts include Jewish scrolls from the time leading up to the Roman conquest (AD 73) and subsequent Roman documents. The finds at Naal ever and Murabbaat include documents from the time of the Bar Kokhba revolt (AD 132–135). Other Bar Kokhba era documents are known from Ketef Jericho, Wadi Sdeir, Naal Mishmar, and Naal eelim (see DJD 38). For a full accounting, see the lists by Tov under “Bibliography” below. The non- literary documentary papyri (e.g. wills, deeds of sale, marriage documents, etc.) are not covered below. Recent archaeological efforts seeking further scrolls from sur- rounding caves (esp.

    Sinful Thoughts: Comments on Sin, Failure, Free Will, and Related Topics Based on David Bashevkin’s new book Sin•a•gogue: Sin and Failure in Jewish Thought Sinful Thoughts: Comments on Sin, Failure, Free Will, and Related Topics Based on David Bashevkin’s new book Sin•a•gogue: Sin and Failure in Jewish Thought (Boston: Academic Studies Press, 2019) By Rabbi Yitzchok Oratz A Bashevkin-inspired Bio Blurb:[1] Rabbi Yitzchok Oratz is Rabbi of the Monmouth Torah Links community in Marlboro, NJ. His writings can be found in various rabbinic and popular journals, including Hakira, Ohr Yisroel, Nehoroy, Nitay Ne’emanim, and on Aish, Times of Israel, Torah Links, Seforim Blog, and elsewhere. His writings are rejected as often as they are accepted, and the four books he is currently working on will likely never see the light of day. “I’d rather laugh[2] with the sinners than cry with the saints; the sinners are much more fun.”[3] Fortunate is the man who follows not the advice of the wicked, nor stood in the path of the sinners, nor sat in the session of the scorners. (Psalms 1:1) One who hopes is always happy [and] without pain . hope keeps one alive . even one who has minimal good deeds . has hope . one who hopes, even if he enters Hell, he will be taken out . his hope is his purity, literally the Mikvah [4] of Yisroel . and this is the secret of repentance . (Ramchal, Derush ha-Kivuy) [5] Rabbi David Bashevkin is a man deeply steeped in sin.

(Pictured below, top in 1987; top right, Rav Schwab at the 55th Aguda שליט''א ,left, Rav Schwab with Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky Convention giving his memorable speech on excesses in spending, bottom left, Rav Schwab with Rav Rav Perlow at the 1987 Dinner; bottom right, with Rabbi Moshe Scherer and the יבלח''ט Glucksman and Pnei Menachem of Gur at the 1977 Aguda convention.) on Thursday evening, March 5th/10 Adar by Rabbi אי''ה A special Shiur to mark the occasion will be given Doniel Schwab. All members, men and women, are urged to attend. Twenty-five years ago, the entire Yeshiva attended the Levaya in Shul. The next Kolenu reported as follows: “We, together with the rest of Klal Yisroel, mourn the great loss which befell us with the passing of our revered Rav Shimon Schwab, zt”l. According to police estimates, approximately 4,000 people came from all over to pay their respects to this Godol B’Yisroel. Whether Rav Schwab spoke with first graders who just received their first Vol. 50, No. 5 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 2 Chumash or the accomplished Chochom, Rav Schwab was always able to imbue his students with Torah and Yiras Shomayim. We pray that the Rav will be a Meilitz Yosher for his beloved Kehilla and Yeshiva and all of Klal Yisroel.” Though a quarter of a century has passed, Rav Schwab’s influence, particularly through his Seforim, is still strongly felt, both in our community and throughout the Jewish world.

Accordingly, they are no different than other dissident movements throughout our history that have rejected these basic tenets. We therefore inform the public that in our considered opinion, “Open Orthodoxy” is not a form of Torah Judaism (Orthodoxy), and that any rabbinic ordination (which they call “semicha”) granted by any of its affiliated entities to their graduates does not confer upon them any rabbinic authority. May the Almighty have mercy on the remnants of His people and repair all breaches in the walls of the Torah, and may we be worthy to witness the raising of the glory of Hashem and His sacred Torah.

  • Humility — Limiting the Power of Kings a D’Var Torah on Parashat Shoftim (Deut
    Humility — Limiting the Power of Kings A D’var Torah on Parashat Shoftim (Deut. 16:18 – 21:9) By Alan I. Friedman “Shoftim v’shotrim titen-l’cha b’chol-sh’areycha … lish’vateycha….” “You shall appoint magistrates and officials for your tribes in all of your cities….” Parashat Shoftim addresses the new social reality that would emerge when the Israelites entered and conquered the Promised Land following the death of Moses. God foretells that, when the people possess the land and settle in it, they will desire to set a king over themselves, like all the nations that are around them.1 Aware that eventually, after they had forged a nation, the people would need a central authority, God gives permission for appointment of such a ruler (“You shall be free to set a king over yourself”),2 with the proviso that the king be chosen (or, at least, endorsed) by God3 — thus rooting the monarchy in divine approval. In spite of God’s permission (or command), Israel functioned without a king for over 300 years — from Joshua until Saul — under the leadership of the Judges. When the people approached the prophet Samuel to appoint a king over them, he was reluctant; ultimately he acquiesced. Samuel’s crowning of Saul as king of Israel in the eleventh century BCE initiated the monarchical system of government in Jewish history. Once on the throne, the king had broad powers. Deuteronomy, therefore, emphasized that a superior divine law applied to both king and people and that kingship of Israel was “an aspect of carrying out God’s covenantal plan.

  • “Centrist” Orthodoxy and Religious Zionism
    chapter 7 Two Orthodox Cultures: “Centrist” Orthodoxy and Religious Zionism Shlomo Fischer Introduction In this paper I will compare two contemporary Jewish Orthodox cultures, American “Centrist” Orthodoxy and Israeli Religious Zionism. I argue that despite common Orthodox religious orientations and a shared right-wing polit- ical orientation, these two communities have significantly different underlying religious cultures. Israeli Religious Zionism is a Romantic nationalist culture with a strong expressivist dimension; that is, a strong emphasis on self-expres- sion and notions such as authenticity. American Centrist Orthodoxy continues the traditional Jewish pattern of emphasis upon religious heteronomy; that is, the Torah and God’s commandments are imposed externally on the Jew. As a result of these cultural differences, the two communities differ in terms of cul- tural phenomena such as the place of art and literature and, to a certain extent, in regard to the type of interpretation of Biblical and Talmudic sources that is current, favored, and valued. Underlying these differences are fundamen- tal differences concerning how the self and its relation to religious practice, authority, and tradition are conceived in the two communities. I would like to conduct this comparison mainly through two Orthodox publications: Makor Rishon in Israel, and The Jewish Press in New York. Both are leading newspapers for their respective communities. The Jewish Press was founded in the 1960s and targets the Centrist Orthodox community (Beckerman, 2010). The Haredi community in America is served by English versions of two Haredi newspapers that appear in Israel, Yated Neeman and Hamodia. The Jewish Press is published in New York, but sells the newspaper nationally and has a weekly circulation of 50,000.
