  • Jewish Subcultures Online: Outreach, Dating, and Marginalized Communities ______
    JEWISH SUBCULTURES ONLINE: OUTREACH, DATING, AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in American Studies ____________________________________ By Rachel Sara Schiff Thesis Committee Approval: Professor Leila Zenderland, Chair Professor Terri Snyder, Department of American Studies Professor Carrie Lane, Department of American Studies Spring, 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis explores how Jewish individuals use and create communities online to enrich their Jewish identity. The Internet provides Jews who do not fit within their brick and mortar communities an outlet that gives them voice, power, and sometimes anonymity. They use these websites to balance their Jewish identities and other personal identities that may or may not fit within their local Jewish community. This research was conducted through analyzing a broad range of websites. The first chapter, the introduction, describes the Jewish American population as a whole as well as the history of the Internet. The second chapter, entitled “The Black Hats of the Internet,” discusses how the Orthodox community has used the Internet to create a modern approach to outreach. It focuses in particular on the extensive web materials created by Chabad and Aish Hatorah, which offer surprisingly modern twists on traditional texts. The third chapter is about Jewish online dating. It uses JDate and other secular websites to analyze how Jewish singles are using the Internet. This chapter also suggests that the use of the Internet may have an impact on reducing interfaith marriage. The fourth chapter examines marginalized communities, focusing on the following: Jewrotica; the Jewish LGBT community including those who are “OLGBT” (Orthodox LGBT); Punk Jews; and feminist Jews.

  • Doctoral Proposal
    Conflict and Creativity in Jewish Modern Orthodox Girls’ Education: Navigating Tradition and Modernity by Rafael Mark Cashman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Rafael Mark Cashman (2015) Conflict and Creativity in Jewish Modern Orthodox Girls’ Education: Navigating Tradition and Modernity Rafael Mark Cashman Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This study investigates Jewish Modern Orthodox girls’ dissonant, creative and adaptive responses to their religious and gender identities as they negotiate the tensions between authority and autonomy in an all-girls’ high school. It considers how the school, as a socializing agent, plays a role in this development. This study is framed by a post-structural research agenda that explores the complexity of religious practices in modernity, and a feminist post- structural body of research around alternative girlhoods in modernity. This ethnographic study contends with the notion that the presence of autonomy and other modern values such as egalitarianism, are a necessary challenge to the girls’ capacity to accept religious and patriarchal authority in a self-affirming way. Instead, it found that girls accept or creatively adapt to, and rarely dissent from, aspects of religion’s authority, while still maintaining their expectation of autonomy and egalitarianism. They achieved this state through a complex and creative re-structuring of normative religious categories in their religious lives, rather than through a bifurcation of the competing discourses, as had been posited in previous research.

  • Modern Orthodoxy and the Road Not Taken: a Retrospective View
    Copyrighted material. Do not duplicate. Modern Orthodoxy and the Road Not Taken: A Retrospective View IRVING (YITZ) GREENBERG he Oxford conference of 2014 set off a wave of self-reflection, with particu- Tlar reference to my relationship to and role in Modern Orthodoxy. While the text below includes much of my presentation then, it covers a broader set of issues and offers my analyses of the different roads that the leadership of the community and I took—and why.1 The essential insight of the conference was that since the 1960s, Modern Orthodoxy has not taken the road that I advocated. However, neither did it con- tinue on the road it was on. I was the product of an earlier iteration of Modern Orthodoxy, and the policies I advocated in the 1960s could have been projected as the next natural steps for the movement. In the course of taking a different 1 In 2014, I expressed appreciation for the conference’s engagement with my think- ing, noting that there had been little thoughtful critique of my work over the previous four decades. This was to my detriment, because all thinkers need intelligent criticism to correct errors or check excesses. In the absence of such criticism, one does not learn an essential element of all good thinking (i.e., knowledge of the limits of these views). A notable example of a rare but very helpful critique was Steven Katz’s essay “Vol- untary Covenant: Irving Greenberg on Faith after the Holocaust,” inHistoricism, the Holocaust, and Zionism: Critical Studies in Modern Jewish Thought and History, ed.

Tradition teaches that this “service” is prayer. It is written, serving Him with all you heart and soul (Deut. 2:13), about which the Sages said, “What is service of the heart? Prayer.” The number of prayers is not fixed in the Torah, nor is their format, and neither the Torah prescribes a fixed time for prayer. Women and slaves are therefore obligated to pray, since it is a positive commandment without a fixed time. Rather, this commandment obligates each person to pray, supplicate, and praise the Holy One, blessed be He, to the best of his ability every day; to then request and plead for what he needs; and after that praise and thank God for all the He has showered on him.1” According to Maimonides, both men and women are obligated in the Mitsva of prayer.

  • Shavuot 5771 by Blu Greenberg
    Shavuot 5771 By Blu Greenberg At one level, the three Jewish pilgrimage festivals—Pesach, Sukkot and Shavuot—celebrate our most intimate communal moments. Beginning with their agricultural origins, the festivals summon up images of tribal relatives working the land together and Israelites traveling to the Jerusalem Temple in family units, arriving en masse at appointed times so as to connect to one another as members of the same covenantal community. On the festivals, echoes of one people sharing a common experience of planting, harvesting and giving thanks to God reverberate in our memories. The second set of ties that bind us together are the historical narratives of the festivals. Each has its own strong story. Pesach recounts the miracle of liberation of our slave ancestors, a story we not only tell at the seder , but also carry with us every day in our prayers and every week in our Shabbat rituals. Sukkot represents our people’s journey towards freedom in the Promised Land—a vulnerable minority huddling together in booths and placing our faith in God. Shavuot, too, is understood by the Rabbis of the Talmud to commemorate Revelation at Sinai, that singular event that shaped the lives of our people forever. All of these themes represent Jewish particularity through its peak experiences. Yet, at another level, the holidays also represent the ways in which Judaism looks outward to the rest of the world. The Talmud records the opinion of Rabbi Eliezer that the 70 sacrifices brought on Sukkot were brought on behalf of the 70 nations of the world (Babylonian Talmud, Sukkah 55b).

  • Judaism Paper
    Matsuura !1 Reina Matsuura Professor Reisenberger REL2047F: Religion Sexuality & Gender 19 March 2018 Visibility of Women in Jewish Traditions When our identities are rooted in ourselves as historical beings, that is, contextualized by time and space, it is no wonder women find themselves conflicted at one point or another, when the myriad of our existence and individualities have been limited in representations throughout history. While this holds true for many traditions and current realities around the world, this paper will focus on both progressive and Orthodox Judaism, and the ways in which Jewish women have been successful in finding spaces for themselves while contesting others, calling for a revision in Hallachic traditions. Given the “problem of difference” in feminist discourse, where women (particularly women of color and of non-normative sexualities and abilities) have been marginalized in their own movement because of the emphasis that has been put solely on what unites them (i.e. oppression) (Spelman 4), we must also take into account differences among women in the Jewish community. This paper is committed to delineating some of the recently contested aspects of Judaism with regard to women’s self-worth and religious pride, ultimately in an effort to explore the choices Jewish women have in gaining oppressive knowledge. In this sense, it reflects stand-point theory’s belief that our positions as women (with intersectional identities) enables a unique perspective that is inherently out-of-reach to men who benefit fully from current Jewish structures. Jewish knowledge is linear, and it is a citational history. The problem many (but not all) women face in this citational history is two-fold: what has been cited regarding her responsibilities and devotion take up perhaps a quarter of documented Jewish history, if that.

We started this journal out of curiosity - curiosity over what our fellow undergraduate students are writing about and researching regarding Judaic topics. What new ideas are people proposing on Halakha and Tanakh, what observations are people making about Jewish history, what arguments are people having regarding Jewish philosophy? What is our generation thinking about Judaism? In publishing undergraduates’ Judaically related essays and providing people with a forum to share their research with a broader community, we want to get people talking. We want to empower students to share their ideas. We want to foster conversations between undergraduates with diverse perspectives with the hope of creating a broader understanding of Judaism as a whole. This 2019 Winter-Spring issue of Limda includes nine essays written on a variety of topics, ranging from Jewish history to language to philosophy to Halakha to Tanakh to Israel. We kick off with Pamela Brenner’s “K erakheym Ov Al Bonim : Tevye’s Quotations Revisited” in which we are taken on a journey of analysis through the character of Tevye the Dairyman and his improper - or proper? - use of Biblical quotations. We then feature Arielle Solomon’s “R ebecca: The Guardian of Bloodline and Covenant ,” which offers a refreshing and innovative commentary on the Biblical Rebecca’s role in the founding of the Jewish People.

Course Description: This 3000 level course explores Jewish life, law, and practice through the bodily experiences of food, sex and death in historical and contemporary perspectives. From kosher bacon to sex work to zombies in Jewish law this course will reflect on the body as a material site of the religious to target key questions around what it means to be human, holiness and the sacred, gender and sexuality, identity, otherness, and community, tradition and authority, and health and wellness. In religious studies we understand religion as a human phenomenon that we study from critical, historical, and evidence-based perspectives. Jewish bodily practices include ritual observance, commanded and prohibited behaviours, and cultural practices. These practices reflect the diversity of Judaism itself, lived by humans in specific times and places and experienced in particular cultural, social and political contexts. As such we will consider a range of Jewish bodily practices and experiences that are both historical and contemporary. Key questions include: How does
