Special Lecture by Dr. Marc Shapiro,New
The Nazir in New York ב”ה The Nazir in New York Josh Rosenfeld I. Mishnat ha-Nazir הוצאת נזר דוד שע”י מכון אריאל ירושלים, 2005 קכ’36+ עמודים הראל כהן וידידיה כהן, עורכים A few years ago, during his daily shiur, R. Herschel Schachter related that he and his wife had met someone called ‘the Nazir’ during a trip to Israel. R. Schachter quoted the Nazir’s regarding the difficulty Moshe had with the division of the land in the matter the daughters of Zelophehad and the Talmudic assertion (Baba Batra 158b) that “the air of the Land of Israel enlightens”. Although the gist of the connection I have by now unfortunately forgotten, what I do remember is R. Schachter citing the hiddush of a modern-day Nazir, and how much of a curio it was at the time. ‘The Nazir’, or R. David Cohen (1887-1972) probably would have been quite satisfied with that. Towards the end of Mishnat ha-Nazir (Jerusalem, 2005) – to my knowledge, the most extensive excerpting of the Nazir’s diaries since the the three-volume gedenkschrift Nezir Ehav (Jerusalem, 1978), and the selections printed in Prof. Dov Schwartz’ “Religious Zionism: Between Messianism and Rationalism” (Tel Aviv, 1999) – we see the Nazir himself fully conscious of the hiddush :(עמ’ ע) of his personal status נזיר הנני, שם זה הנני נושא בהדר קודש. אלמלא לא באתי אלא בשביל זה, לפרסם שם זה, להיות בלבות זרע קודש ישראל, צעירי הצאן, זכרונות קודשי עברם הגדול, בגילוי שכינה, טהרה וקדושה, להכות בלבם הרך גלי געגועים לעבר זה שיקום ויהיה לעתיד, חידוש ימינו כקדם, גם בשביל זה כדאי לשאת ולסבול and :(זכרונות מבית אבא מארי ,similarly (p.

Ou Israel Center - Summer 2019
5779 - dbhbn ovrct [email protected] 1 sxc HALACHIC AND HASHKAFIC ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY 132 - HALACHA AND KABBALA - PART 2 OU ISRAEL CENTER - SUMMER 2019 • In Part 1 we saw how the early Acharonim began to assimilate the Zohar into the halachic process. The positions included: • R’ Elyahu Mizrachi (15C Turkey) - kabbalistic concepts are highly esoteric and, although special individuals are free to adopt them, ordinary people are not required to follow them. • Radvaz (16C Egypt) - kabbalistic practices are acceptable as chumrot, but not where they contradict the Talmud. • Beit Yosef (16C Eretz Yisrael) - incorporates selected halachot of the Zohar into the mainstream halacha. Where the Zohar conflicts with Talmud, the Talmud prevails. However, where the Zohar conflicts with the post-talmudic poskim, the Zohar prevails. • The Rema (16C Poland) - disagrees with the Beit Yosef on the latter point. According to the Rema, the Zohar cannot even override the post-talmudic poskim. • The Maharshal (16C Poland) - is concerned in many cases about the problems of integrating kabbala into halacha. • The Maseit Binyamin (17C Poland) - considers that the Zohar outweighs all the post-Talmudic poskim put together! • R. Ya’akov Emden (18C Germany) - whilst skeptical about the origins of every word of the Zohar, maintains that, although in any dispute between the Zohar and the Bavli we follow the Bavli, where the Bavli is unclear and subject to many interpretations and the Zohar can clarify the position, we are to look to the Zohar. The Zohar should not be rejected in halacha, provided it does not directly contradict the Bavli and we should try wherever possible to reconcile the Zohar and the Bavli.

Israel's Chief Rabbinate, the Conversion Crisis, and Halakhic Chaos
Israel's Chief Rabbinate, the Conversion Crisis, and Halakhic Chaos These articles by Isi Leibler originally appeared in the Jerusalem Post and Yisrael Hayom. The tensions created by the ultra-Orthodox Chief Rabbinate within Israeli society have extended to the Diaspora and are now undermining relations with the Jewish state. Ironically, this is taking place at a time when many Israelis are returning to their spiritual roots. Although Tel Aviv remains outwardly a hedonistic secular city, the secular Ashkenazi outlook that dominated Israeli society is in decline, and even setting aside haredim, Israelis today have become increasingly more traditionally inclined and religiously observant. The past decades have witnessed the emergence of observant Jews at all senior levels of society. There has been a dramatic revolution in the Israel Defense Forces with national-religious soldiers now occupying senior positions, assuming roles in combat units parallel to what their kibbutz predecessors did in the early years of statehood. There is even a thirst for spiritual values among secular Israelis, accompanied by a major revival of the study of Jewish texts. Yet simultaneously, there is revulsion and rage at the corruption, extortion and political leverage imposed by powerful haredi political parties and their rabbis. Unfortunately, the ultra-Orthodox rabbis have effectively exploited their political leverage to assume control of the Chief Rabbinate, which, ironically, they themselves have always despised. Current Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau and his Sephardi counterpart, Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, represent the antithesis of the Chief Rabbinate created 90 years ago by Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, who strove to unite the nation.

New Chief Rabbis
YOUNG ISRAEL CONGRATULATES NEW CHIEF RABBIS The National Council of Young Israel issued the following statement today congratulating Israel's newly elected chief rabbis - Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau and Sephardi Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef: "The National Council of Young Israel extends its heartfelt congratulations and a hearty Mazal Tov to newly elected Chief Rabbi David Lau and Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef. At a time when the Jewish people desperately need to bridge the divide between the ultra-Orthodox and the religious Zionist communities, Rabbis Lau and Yosef are poised to play a pivotal role in the reunification of Jews in Israel and around the world. "As the well-respected and popular chief rabbi of the city of Modi'in and as the long-time host of the 'Ask the Rabbi' program on Israeli TV, Rabbi Lau has earned a reputation as a knowledgeable Torah scholar who has the unique ability to relate to a wide array of people in a very diverse community. We are certain that Rabbi Lau will follow in the footsteps of his father, former Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, who was a great ambassador for the State of Israel. Rabbi David Lau is a devoted religious Zionist who recites Hallel with a blessing on Yom Ha'atzmaut (Israel Independence Day), a religious practice that highlights his Zionistic sentiments and pro-Israel tendencies. With his stated intention to unite Jews both in Israel and in the Diaspora, and his proven track record of embracing Jews from all walks of life, Rabbi Lau will undoubtedly be an exceptional emissary for the State of Israel and for Jews worldwide.

Further Comments by Marc Shapiro,Benefits of the Internet
Further Comments by Marc Shapiro Further Comments By Marc B. Shapiro I had thought that this would be my last post of the current batch, but it turned out to be too long. So I have divided it into two parts. Here is part no. 1. The volumes Shomrei Mishmeret ha-Kodesh, by R. Natan Raphael Auerbach, have just appeared. Here is the cover. This book is devoted to the Auerbach family, which was one of the great rabbinic families in Germany. They were the “A” in what was known as the ABC rabbinic families (the others being Bamberger and Carlebach). Over 150 pages are devoted to R. Zvi Benjamin Auerbach, who was the most prominent of the Auerbach rabbis. He was also the publisher of Sefer ha-Eshkol, to which he added his commentary Nahal Eshkol. In a number of posts I dealt with Auerbach’s edition ofSefer Ha-Eshkol, and discussed how both academic scholars and traditional talmidei hakhamim have concluded that the work is a forgery.1 Readers who are interested in the details can examine the earlier posts. In this newly published volume, which was called to my attention by Eliezer Brodt, the author speaks briefly about the Sefer ha-Eshkol controversy and responds to those who, in his words, continue to defame a gadol be-Yisrael (p. 382): הממשיכים לבזות גדול בישראל ולהכפישו באופן אישי In the note the author refers to Moshe Samet, who earlier had dealt with Sefer ha-Eshkol, and also to one of my posts on the Seforim Blog. While Seforim Blog posts have been cited in English scholarly writings, as far as I know this is the first time that there has been citation in a Hebrew volume.

The Modernization of Judaism According to the Teachings of Rabbi A.I
The Modernization of Judaism According to the Teachings of Rabbi A.I. Kook Abstract: The article examines the main concepts involved in the modernization of Judaism per the teachings of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, one of the great Jewish thinkers of the 20th century. Furthermore, it shows how these ideas have affected the dynamics of growth within Judaism over a long period of time all the way through to current events. Rabbi Kook’s approach to religious modernization is striking because it sets out a concrete and comprehensive program for growth and development, something that does not exist in any other religion or strand of Judaism. This article will critically examine the program for modernization put forth by Rabbi Kook in an attempt to answer two questions. First, how consistent and compatible is Rabbi Kook’s program with the tenets of religious orthodoxy? Second, to what extent has Rabbi Kook’s program been successful in achieving its real-world goal in the hundred or so years since its intellectual inception? 1. The concept of “orthodox modernization” Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook is universally considered to be one of the most outstanding Jewish religious leaders of the 20th century. In 1904 he arrived in Palestine having been invited to the positions of Chief Rabbi of the Zionist movement (the position at that time was called "Rabbi of Yaffo and the new (Zionist) settlements"). Later, at the beginning of the British mandate in Palestine, he was appointed to the position of the Chief Rabbi of Israel in which he remained until his death in 1935.
