  • The Challenge of Halakhic Innovation
    The Challenge of Halakhic Innovation Benjamin Lau Bio: Rabbi Dr. Benjamin Lau is director of the Center for Judaism and Society and the founder of the Institute for Social Justice, both at Beit Morasha of Jerusalem. He is Rabbi of the Ramban synagogue in Jerusalem, and author of a multi-volume Hebrew series, Hakhimim, which was recently published in English as The Sages. Abstract: This article defines a vision of halakhah and the rabbinate that identifies with modern life and works to advance religious life within Israel and Western societies. It argues for a halakhah and a rabbinate that is sensitive to Kelal Yisrael, Zionism and Israeli democracy, the interests of women, the handicapped and that can speak to all Jews. It wishes to return Torah its original domain—every aspect of human life. A Forum of Modern Orthodox Discourse Orthodox Modern of Forum A The author rejects the superiority of halakhic stringency and advocates M e o r o t the use of hiddush to confront the realities of modern life, seeing the former as traditional halakhic methodology.

  • A City Carved of Stone an Architectural Treatise on Jerusalem’S Search for Monumentality Ari Lewkowitz
    DRUM note: Images have been removed from this paper due to copyright restrictions A City Carved of Stone An Architectural Treatise on Jerusalem’s Search for Monumentality Ari Lewkowitz “To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history but to articulate it” Daniel Libeskind Ari Lewkowitz JWST409L Professor Cooperman Capital cities, for their own sake and that of the greater nation, maintain a synergy of historical relevance and a future-seeking pragmatism through their architectural design. The city of Jerusalem is no exception. Imbued in its post-1967 development is a certain sympathy for the past in order to massage long-standing notions and images of Jerusalem as an “ideal” city, deserving of various levels of preservation. More precisely, there is a politicized agenda of ethno-nationalist pride in much of the city’s newly built structures directly manifested through the use of monumentality. In order to better understand monumentality, it is important to analyze the current status of monumental architecture and its respective role in ancient civilizations. As part of a larger manifesto on this particular topic, Sigfried Geidion, Jose Luis Sert, and Fernand Leger, pioneering modernist architectural critics from the first half of the 20th century, compiled a short list entitled, “9 Points of Monumentality.” In it, the authors claimed that monuments are “symbols for [man’s] ideals, for their aims, and for their actions…They have to satisfy the eternal demand of the people for translation of their collective force into symbols” (1943). This strikes upon a major component of this debate, that monumentalizing goes far beyond a singular person, regional place, or specific event, and attempts to capture a combined pathos of the community- however widespread that community wants to be defined.

  • A Letter to Zlatko Kopljar on the Occasion of the Work
    GALERIE ISABELLA CZARNOWSKA A letter from Ory Dessau to Zlatko Kopljar on the occasion of the work “K19” Artist Zlatko Kopljar was invited to present his vertical-rectangular brick structures in the circular space of The Barrel Gallery in Zagreb. The structures are made with a particular kind of bricks, manufactured during World War Two in Jasenovac camp, outside Zagreb, by prisoners. After the war the people from the surrounding villages were taking those bricks and used them as building blocks for their houses. Eventually, Kopljar decided to keep the space of the gallery empty and constructed the structures, brick by brick, in front of the building, around the fountain. The following text is written in the form of a personal letter, which I delivered to Kopljar on the evening of the opening. Dear Zlatko, I decided to write you this personal letter because I cannot simply inhabit a critical external stance in relation to your work. When it comes to K19, being a Jewish Israeli, third generation of survivors, makes it impossible for me to judge and interpret it from the outside. My thoughts are moving around and go back and forth to many different directions, when associated with your K19, which I find ethical as much as conceptual, a personal gesture as much as a theoretical gesture. One of the directions my thoughts go through includes a story I want to share with you on architect Louis Kahn and his 1968 revolutionary proposal for the restoration of the ruined Hurva Synagogue in the Jewish quarter of old Jerusalem, a proposal that was never put into effect, that remained a pure concept.

  • The Hurva Synagogue
    XII JERUSALEM SCENES The Hurva Synagogue Adjacent to the central square of the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem an arch of Jerusalem limestone links two parts of the remains of an old building. This is the Hurvah Synagogue, a name derived from the Hebrew word harev, ‘ruin’. Although we think of the return of the Jews to the land, and to Jerusalem in particular, as being something which began towards the end of the nineteenth century, groups of Jews came to live in Jerusalem in earlier times, and the Hurvah Synagogue has its origins in one such return. In 1700 a large group of Jews from Central and Eastern Europe came to Jerusalem under the leadership of Rabbi Judah Hasid. They borrowed money from local Arabs and built themselves a synagogue and living quarters. Being very poor they were unable to repay the money, and in 1721 the syna- gogue was burnt down. The ruins were referred to as ‘Hurvat Rabbi Judah Hasid’, ‘The Ruins of Rabbi Judah Hasid’, hence the name of the synagogue. It was not until the early nineteenth century that further groups of Ashkenazi (European) Jews came to live in Jerusalem. The synagogue they initially built was not big enough, and in 1852 the British Jew Sir Moses Montefiore obtained permission from the Turkish authorities to build a much bigger structure on the site of the old Hurvah Synagogue. This was an imposing structure and became the centre of Ashkenazi worship in Jerusalem, although its significance declined during the years of the British mandate as many more Jews came to live outside the Old City.
