  • Yeshivat Derech Chaim Kiryat Gat American Friends of Sderot  Amutat Lapid the Max & Ruth Schwartz Hesder Institutions Mission Statement
    ech Chaim er K i D r t y a a v t i G h s a e t Y The Friedberg Community Initiative Program The Yedidut-Toronto Foundation Yeshivat Derech Chaim Kiryat Gat American Friends of Sderot Amutat Lapid The Max & Ruth Schwartz Hesder Institutions Mission Statement Giving back to the community is no burden on our students – it is the direct, inescapable consequence of their studies here. It is not in vain that our Yeshiva is called "Derech Chaim" – the "Path of Life". We make every effort to make it clear to our students that the Torah that they study here is not theoretical – it is geared is to lead and direct them to take those same high ideals and put them into practice in their daily lives - in their hobbies, careers and life-choices. The Rashbi Study Partners Program Twice a week, Kiryat Gat Hesder students go to study Talmud and Parshat Shavua with young students at the nearby "Rashbi" Mamlachti Dati elementary school. Due to its proximity our students can now engage in this activity twice a week and the young children are in turn encouraged to visit the Yeshiva as well. In general, these children come from very economically and religiously challenged backgrounds. Having a "big brother" from the local Hesder Yeshiva is invaluable in building their respect for Torah and connecting them to proper role models. Community Rabbinate Program Amit L’Mishpacha A number of our Rabbis also serve as the beloved The Family Associate Program spiritual leaders of different local congregations. In this context, they are busy giving talks and lectures as well as helping families in their community in various ways.

  • Israel at 70
    Israel at 70 Israel as a Double Gift Dr. Ari Berman, President, Yeshiva University Our generation is blessed to witness the 70th birthday of the modern State of Israel. While the State of Israel is of profound importance to Jews everywhere, it holds unique resonance for us as religious Zionists, for it potentially signals the coming of a long-hoped-for redemption. Consequently, as we reflect upon the seven decades since Israel’s birth, it is useful to clarify the way in which a modern nation-state like Israel can herald redemption. Of the many foundational ideas that Biblical Israel has contributed to the history of civilization, perhaps the most ambitious is the concept of a collective redemption—the notion that not only should individuals strive for their ultimate betterment, but that society can and must move history forward together. Reflections on this theme are most concentrated in the Bible’s prophetic literature. Broadly speaking, one finds therein two contrasting models for what redemption entails, the first represented in the book of Ezekiel, the second in the book of Isaiah. Ezekiel, in chapter 37, envisions redemption as a project fundamentally benefitting the Jewish people. Although dispersed throughout the world, and oppressed throughout history, this paradigmatic minority will one day be revived. The climax of Ezekiel’s best known eschatological prophecy—his vision of the valley of the dry bones—is God’s promise to His people: “I will bring you back to the land of Israel” (37:12). For Ezekiel, the goal of the redemptive process is internally oriented. Isaiah, by contrast, consistently articulates a redemptive vision that encompasses all of humanity.

  • 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.
