  • PASSOVER April, 1991
    \ ins min LINCOLN SQUARE SYNAGOGUE BULLETIN Nisan 5751 - Volume 26, No. 5 PASSOVER April, 1991 A GUIDE TO THE LAWS OF PESACH I. ABOUT CHAMETZ A. The Prohibition The prohibition against Chametz on Pesach is found in the Torah. It commands every Jew: a. not to eat or drink it, b. not to own it, c. not to possess it. The prohibition applies to even the slightest amount of such Chametz because of the harshness of the penalty prescribed by the Torah — excision, or because of the fact that Chametz is permissible after Pesach — there can be no nullification during Pesach. The Rabbinic prohibition extends to the use even after Pesach of Chametz which belonged to a Jew during Pesach. For this reason, Jewish bakeries and other food stores which do not sell their Chametz before Pesach should not be patronized for approximately a month after the holiday so that no Chametz product which belonged to them during Pesach would be consumed even afterwards. However, this prohibition applies only to products which are in the category of Chametz B'ein (see below). B. The Forms of Chametz 1. Chametz B'ein — Pure Chametz — The combination of any of the five grains mentioned in the Torah (wheat, barley, rye, oats and spelt), or any of their derivatives (such as flour) with water or moisture for a period of eighteen minutes during which the mixture is not stirred, results in Chametz. (This process, described in the Talmud in terms of its appearance, is not identical with the process of fermentation. Chametz appears to be an arbitrarily defined state, not a scientifically definable condition.) Thus, included in this category are bread, cakes and pastries, beer, grain alcohol, and even matzah which was not specially prepared for Passover use.

  • Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch's View of Secular Studies in The
    69 Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch’s View of Secular Studies in the Thought of Rabbi Joseph Elias: Some Critical Observations By: BARUCH PELTA R’ Joseph Elias is a Talmudic scholar par excellence. He is thoroughly versed in Hirschian literature as well as the literature of other schools of Jewish thought, especially that of the Mussar school as developed by his teacher R’ Eliyahu Dessler. He has been described as “a leading spokesman of Agudah of the Hirschian school”1 and despite being one of the oldest living Agudists today he has continued to be quite active in his support for the organization. It is not for naught that the descendants of R’ Hirsch’s community and those that have joined it chose R’ Elias to become principal of the Rika Breuer Teachers Seminary and the Beth Jacob High School of Yeshivah Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch. R’ Elias’s age and experience help him in his role as an educator. His Talmudic expertise allows him to endow future generations with the great gift of Israel’s Torah, and his familiarity with schools of Jewish thought besides the Hirschian one would seem to qualify him to offer a broad vision of Judaism through a Hirschian lens as well as to compare and contrast the Hirschian school accurately with other schools. R’ Elias brought these qualities to his exposition of R’ Hirsch’s philosophy in his commentary to The Nineteen Letters.2 As R’ Elias wrote, he hoped to “clarify and convey correctly the author’s [R’ 1 Lawrence Kaplan, “Rabbi Isaac Hutner’s ‘Daat Torah’ Perspective’ on the Holocaust: A Critical Analysis” Tradition 18.3 (1980): 245.

    March 1, ‘17 ג' אדר תשע"ז KAJ NEWSLETTER A monthly publication of K’hal Adath Jeshurun Volume 47 Number 6 ,רב זכריה בן רבקה Please continue to be mispallel for Rav Gelley .רפואה שלמה for a YAHRZEIT OF RAV SCHWAB This coming Purim will mark the 22nd Yahrzeit of our late, revered Rav, Rav Shimon Schwab, , who was niftar on 14 Adar I 5755, Purim Kotton. Raised in Frankfurt am Main and a Talmid of the Hirsch Realschule and Frankfurt Yeshiva, Rav Schwab was steeped in the philosophy of Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch. When Rav Schwab then also became a Talmid of the Eastern European Yeshivos (in Telshe and Mir), Rav Schwab had the great Zechus to come into close contact with many of the Gedolim of pre-war Europe, including such luminaries as the Chofetz Chaim, Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzensky, Rav Joseph Leib Bloch, Rav Yeruchom Levovitz, and Rav Elchonon Wasserman. Rav Schwab mentions some of these encounters in his sefer on the parshios hashovu’o, Maayan Beis HaSho’eivo. The popularity of this sefer, as well as Rav Schwab’s shiurim on Tefilo, Iyov, Yeshayo and Ezra- Nechemia, are testament to Rav Schwab’s influence still being strongly felt, both in our community and throughout the Jewish world. יהי זכרו ברוך 67th ANNUAL DINNER The Teaneck Marriott at Glenpointe was the site of our Kehilla and Yeshiva’s 67th Annual Dinner, on Sunday evening, February 19/23 Shevat.

  • The Restoration & Museification of the Eldridge Street Synagogue
    Cleo and James Marston Fitch Prize Submission Emily R. Kahn Historic Preservation Theory & Practice Professor Igor Demchenko, Fall 2019 Questions of Authenticity: The Restoration & Museification of the Eldridge Street Synagogue 12 Eldridge Street, New York, NY 10002 Photos taken by Emily Kahn, December 2019 1 When historian Gerard Wolfe “rediscovered” the main sanctuary at the Eldridge Street Synagogue on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the ner tamid, or “eternal light,” still hung above the ark. Its light, however, had not burned in decades. In Judaism, the ner tamid is a physical manifestation of the principle that G-d’s presence is everlasting and all-encompassing.1 G-d’s presence had not left the Eldridge Street Synagogue, but the extinguishment of the ner tamid symbolized four decades of neglect and absence in this sanctuary. A restoration of the sanctuary re-illuminated the ner tamid, hopefully in perpetuity. Yet, did the ner tamid shine light on the same values, function, or community that it did in the late- nineteenth century when Eastern European immigrants founded the Eldridge Street Synagogue? Or had the re-illuminated sanctuary become an altogether different space? The preservationists entrusted with restoring the Eldridge Street Synagogue vowed to create an “authentic” depiction of this synagogue’s former glory.2 They chose to restore the sanctuary to its original appearance but decided to change the primary function of the synagogue from a religious space to a non-sectarian museum.3 An Orthodox congregation has held weekly services at the restored Eldridge Street Synagogue, but only if they could obtain a minyan- a quorum of ten male Jews necessary to recite communal prayers.

  • Congregation Khal Adath Jeshurun with Anshe Lubz), 12-16 Eldridge Street, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission July 8, 1980, Designation List 134 LP-1107 ELDRIDGE STREET SYNAGOGUE (Congregation Khal Adath Jeshurun with Anshe Lubz), 12-16 Eldridge Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1886-87; architects Herter Brothers. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan, Tax Map Block 293, Lot 3. On December 11, 1979, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the propos ed des ignation as a Landmark of the Eldridge Street Synagogue (Congregation Khal Adath Jeshurun with Anshe Lubz) and the prop~sed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 13). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Nine witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Synagogue of Khal Adath Jeshurun with Anshe Lubz, more famil­ iarly known as the Eldridge Street Synagogue, was the first and finest synagogue erected on the Lower East Side by the Orthodox East European Ashkenazic Jews. Now an impressive monument to the American immigrant experience, it was built in 1886-87 by the architectural firm of Herter Brothers, and stands today as an enduring symbol of the Lower East Side as it thrived during the last decades of the 19th century. The imposing pressed brick and terra-cotta facade features elements of Moorish, Goth­ ic, and Romanesque design, a combination which later would be used fre­ quently by the Herter Brothers in their numerous designs for tenements in the Lower East Side. Although the early history of the congregation remains obscure, it is known that Khal Adath Jeshurun (Community of the People of Is­ rael) was the result of the union of two Ashkenazic congregations: Beth Hamedrash (House of Study) and Holche Josher Wizaner (Those who walk in Righteousness).
