He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity He restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in Him. After God made that decision of what His children should be like, He followed it up by calling people by name. After He called them by name, He set them on a solid basis with Himself. And then, after getting them established, He stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what He had begun.

  • Technology and Jewish Life1,2 Manfred Gerstenfeld and Avraham Wyler
    www.jcpa.org Published March 2006 Jewish Political Studies Review 18:1-2 (Spring 2006) Technology and Jewish Life1,2 Manfred Gerstenfeld and Avraham Wyler Technology continues to have a strong and specific impact on Jewish life. It has caused major social changes in various areas, such as the suburbanization of Jews, women's increased learning, and the possibility of participating in worldwide community activities. From a socio-halakhic viewpoint, technology influences Jews' choice of residence, has socialized and politicized kashrut certification, and has changed modes of Jewish study. The development of new technologies has brought with it many halakhic challenges and decisions, on Shabbat observance among other things. Technology may also stimulate better observance of the commandments. It influences Jewish thinking and is leading to new ways of presenting ancient concepts. From a philosophical viewpoint, Judaism proposes a way of life that is not subordinated to technology, unlike life in general society. This is mainly expressed in the domain of holiness. Developing a more detailed analysis of the interaction between technology and Jewish life will open new horizons for learning, studying, thinking, research, determining halakha, and making practical decisions. Introduction The concept that technology is double-faced, that is, its use can make human life better or facilitate greater evil, can already be found in the midrashic literature on the first chapters of Genesis. The number of interactions between Jewish life and technology is far too large to be systematically enumerated. One can only outline how diverse this interaction is, and show that it goes much further than its most- discussed element: the impact of new technology on observance of the Torah and mitzvot (commandments).

  • Rabbinic Biblical Exegesis and Its Importance for Christians and Jewish-Christian Relations
    Rabbinic Biblical Exegesis and its importance for Christians and Jewish-Christian Relations David Rosen The destruction of the first Temple by the Babylonians in the year 586 BCE and the subsequent captivity, confronted the exiles with a literally existential crisis. The challenge was compounded by the fact that the northern kingdom of Israel had been overrun a century and a half earlier, its people exiled and ultimately lost (the “ten lost tribes”) to their brethren in Judea. The crisis/challenge for the exiles in Babylon was thus how to maintain their identity (in the hope of their eventual return to Judea) while in “an alien land “(see Psalm 137:4) While we do not have precise data in this regard, we can glean significant insights from the prophet Ezekiel who reports on gatherings of elders in his home where they set in motion what may be described as the very “secret” of Jewish survival. No longer could the people rely on the priestly leadership in the absence of the central religious shrine and its unifying order of service. Away from the land and without its national institutions, it was essential to ensure that the people became the personal possessors of religious knowledge – the religious history and the way of life that the Jewish people believed had been Divinely revealed to them. From the book of Ezekiel and other sources it appears that the synagogue emerged in the Babylonian exile as a place of congregation (as its name suggests) where the Judean exiles not only socialized and prayed for their return to Zion and its restoration, but above all where they received religious instruction (the meaning of the Hebrew word Torah) from priests and elders, setting in motion the meritocratic educational revolution that reached a zenith in the Talmudic period and which guaranteed Jewish posterity .

  • The National-Cultural Movement in Hebrew Education in the Mississippi Valley
    www.jcpa.org Jewish Community Studies The National-Cultural Movement in Hebrew Education in the Mississippi Valley Daniel J. Elazar The arrival of the mass migration of Eastern European Jews on American shores in the 1880s coincided with the heyday of the idea of the Mississippi Valley as an integral region -- the very heartland of the United States, the "real America" and the definer of the American spirit and way of life. The Mississippi Valley was a product of the nineteenth century. Even the eastern fringes of the vast territory from the Appalachians to the Rockies had hardly emerged from its frontier stage by 1880. The middle portions were principally populated by the sons and daughters of the pioneers and the region's western third was still being settled. Jews had settled in the eastern half of the region during its first generation of settlement and were among the first settlers of the western half. Hence, though the region's Jewish population represented only 20 percent of American Jewry and, with the exception of a few major cities, was to remain relatively small even after the great migration, it did contain hundreds of thousands of Jews. Those Jews Americanized quickly throughout most of the region. In some places, like New Orleans, successive communities assimilated almost entirely. In others, like St. Paul, Jews remained separate yet integrated into the best clubs (Plaut 1959). In some, like Chicago, they went through the complete urban immigrant experience of the kind that has become the basic stereotype of American Jewish folklore. In some, like Denver, they were among the very first pioneers, yet at the same time some of them actually reproduced an American version of an Eastern European shtetl, complete with cows, goats and truck gardens.

A central working hypothesis of the Center is that assimilation is not an inexorable force of nature, but the result of human choices. In the past, Jews chose assimilation in order to avoid persecution and social stigmatization. Today, however, this is rarely the case. In our times, assimilation stems from the fact that for many Jews, maintaining Jewish involvements and affiliations seems less attractive than pursuing the alternatives open to them in the pluralistic societies of contemporary Europe and America.

    SEVEN The World of the Talmud: From the Mishnah to the Arab Conquest ISAIAH M. GAFNI 0 SOME EXTENT, THE FOUR CENTURIES OF JEWISH HISTORY surveyed in this chapter-from the completion of the T Mishnah (c. 220 C.E.) to the Arab conquest of the East (early seventh century)-represent a continuation of the post-Bar­ Kokhba period. No longer do we encounter major political or mili­ tary opposition to the empires that ruled over those lands where the vast majority ofJews lived-whether in Palestine or the Diaspora. While the yearning for messianic redemption still asserts itself at certain major junctures, this messianism evinces itself in a far more spiritualized way (as it did in the previous period when the Mishnah was produced), rather than being centered around an­ other Bar-Kokhba-like Jewish military figure. Indeed, these messi­ anic passions henceforth arise primarily as a Jewish reaction to events totally beyond the control of the Jewish community itself­ whether it be the pagan-Christian clash in the days of the Roman emperor Julian (361-363 C.E.) that almost led to the restoration of Jewish Jerusalem, or the three-way struggle for control over the Land of Israel (Byzantium-Persia-Arabia) that paved the way for the Muslim conquest. More radical in its ultimate consequences is the slow but con­ stant shift in the delicate relationship between the Jewish center in Palestine and the emerging Jewish community of Babylonia. While 226 Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism A PAGE FROM THE TALMUD.

    Massachusetts Synagogues and Their Records, Past and Present by Carol Clingan This listing attempts to identify and trace every synagogue that has been recorded in Massachusetts. All the information is accurate to the best that could be determined, but there are undoubtedly errors and omissions. Sources consulted include: city directories, real estate records incorporation papers, newspapers, and information from individual synagogues and their members. Wherever possible, name changes, location changes and mergers are recorded, as well as dates for the closing or disappearance of congregations. The symbol < before a date indicates that it is the earliest record found, while the symbol > indicates that it is the latest record found. In both cases, the actual date may be earlier or later. If a congregation is associated with a particular cemetery, there is a number that indicates the listing for that cemetery on the accompanying cemetery list. Records marked are to be found in the particular synagogue, but there are also other repositories listed in the column for “Other Records”.
