    Source Sheet on Prohibitions on Loshon ha-ra and motzi shem ra and disclosing another’s confidential secrets and Proper Etiquette for Speech Deut. 24:9 - "Remember what the L-rd your G-d did unto Miriam by the way as you came forth out of Egypt." Specifically, she spoke against her brother Moses. Yerushalmi Berachos 1:2 Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai said, “Had I been at Mount Sinai at the moment when the torah was given to Yisrael I would have demanded that man should have been created with two mouths- one for Torah and prayer and other for mundane matters. But then I retracted and exclaimed that if we fail and speak lashon hara with only one mouth, how much more so would we fail with two mouths Bavli Arakhin15b R. Yochanan said in the name of R.Yosi ben Zimra: He who speaks slander, is as though he denied the existence of the Lord: With out tongue will we prevail our lips are our own; who is lord over us? (Ps.12:5) Gen R. 65:1 and Lev.R. 13:5 The company of those who speak slander cannot greet the Presence Sotah 5a R. Hisda said in the name of Mar Ukba: When a man speaks slander, the holy one says, “I and he cannot live together in the world.” So scripture: “He who slanders his neighbor in secret….

  • Rise Because of the Aged Rabbi Daniel Cotzin Burg Beth Am Synagogue Parashat Kedoshim, 26 Nisan 5774 ~ 4.26.14
    Rise Because of the Aged Rabbi Daniel Cotzin Burg Beth Am Synagogue Parashat Kedoshim, 26 Nisan 5774 ~ 4.26.14 One of many striking things about Ari Shavit’s book, My Promised Land is its descriptions of Tel Aviv youth culture. He paints vivid scenes of the urban club scene, disaffected teenagers turning to drugs and casual sex for all the usual reasons young people sometimes make destructive choices but also for some more uniquely Israeli reasons. Shavit perceives an itch to be scratched, a pervasive Israeli drive (and right) to exist and thrive – and the human psychological cost of this success – particularly on the young. The Tel Aviv scene is in part an outgrowth of Zionist youth culture from sixty and seventy years ago, a youth culture that birthed kibbutzim, the Palmach and Hagganah and quite simply the miraculous advent of modern Israel. But, in my estimation, this is also a sign of a country in tension with its core values. A salient example: When you board any bus in Israel, there’s a sign near the driver and the door. It encourages people to give up their seats for the elderly. This is typical in other countries, but in Israel three Hebrew words suffice: Mipnei Seva Takum, “Rise before the Aged.” These words, from this week’s parasha (Lev. 19:32), demonstrate a society in tension with its ancient Jewish mores. In many ways Israeli society is quite deferential to the elderly and respectful of the extended family unit, but like so much of the modern world, it also champions, almost fetishizes the young.

  • Appendix: a Guide to the Main Rabbinic Sources
    Appendix: A Guide to the Main Rabbinic Sources Although, in an historical sense, the Hebrew scriptures are the foundation of Judaism, we have to turn elsewhere for the documents that have defined Judaism as a living religion in the two millennia since Bible times. One of the main creative periods of post-biblical Judaism was that of the rabbis, or sages (hakhamim), of the six centuries preceding the closure of the Babylonian Talmud in about 600 CE. These rabbis (tannaim in the period of the Mishnah, followed by amoraim and then seboraim), laid the foundations of subsequent mainstream ('rabbinic') Judaism, and later in the first millennium that followers became known as 'rabbanites', to distinguish them from the Karaites, who rejected their tradition of inter­ pretation in favour of a more 'literal' reading of the Bible. In the notes that follow I offer the English reader some guidance to the extensive literature of the rabbis, noting also some of the modern critical editions of the Hebrew (and Aramaic) texts. Following that, I indicate the main sources (few available in English) in which rabbinic thought was and is being developed. This should at least enable readers to get their bearings in relation to the rabbinic literature discussed and cited in this book. Talmud For general introductions to this literature see Gedaliah Allon, The Jews in their Land in the Talmudic Age, 2 vols (Jerusalem, 1980-4), and E. E. Urbach, The Sages, tr. I. Abrahams (Cambridge, Mass., and London: Harvard University Press, 1987), as well as the Reference Guide to Adin Steinsaltz's edition of the Babylonian Talmud (see below, under 'English Transla­ tions').

Fraade Yale University Introduction Given the multiplicity of legal interpretations and opinions, the question of the place of legal debate within early rabbinic literature of late antiquity—both as textual practice and as hermeneutical and legal theory—has occupied a particularly busy space within recent scholarship.1 This question centers on several issues of broad significance for the history of rabbinic Judaism and its literature: Does this phenomenon (if we can speak of it in the singular) represent a defining characteristic of rabbinic culture overall, or rather an aspect better attributed

  • For Body and Soul Jewish Life Revolves Around Food What Is the Origin Of
    28 May 2009 Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi Congregation Adat Reyim Tikkun Lel Shavuot (Erev Shavuot 5769) Food For body and soul Jewish life revolves around food Summary of holidays: They tried to kill us, we won, let’s eat (or not) . Rosh Hashanah -- Feast . Tzom Gedalia -- Fast . Yom Kippur -- More fasting . Sukkot -- Feast . Hoshanah Rabbah -- More feasting . Simchat Torah -- Keep feasting . Month of Heshvan -- No feasts or fasts for a whole month. Get a grip on yourself. Hanukkah -- Eat potato pancakes . Fast of Tenth of Tevet -- Do not eat potato pancakes . Tu B'Shevat -- Feast . Fast of Esther -- Fast . Purim -- Eat pastry . Fast of the First-Born -- Fast . Pessah -- Do not eat pastry . Shavuot -- Dairy feast (cheesecake and blintzes) . 17th of Tammuz -- Fast (definitely no cheesecake or blintzes) . Tish’a B'Av -- Very strict fast (don't even think about cheesecake or blintzes) . Month of Elul -- End of cycle [summary drawn from Internet] What is the origin of eating dairy on Shavuot?

John Cooper, "Eat and be Satisfied: A Social History of Jewish Food" (Aronson, 1994): 1.

It is omitted in Tefilas Shacharis because saying it would lengthen the morning service to the point that it would become burdensome for the congregants and in particular for senior citizens, pregnant women and nursing mothers. The concern being that the length of the service causes the congregation to fast until after reciting the paragraph of Oo’Vah L’Tziyon and the complete Kedushah D’Sidra. `l ,oeivl `ae ,cecl dldz ,ixy` ,zayly dlecb dgpn-ctw cenr zay zekld bidpnd xtq oiae sqena `l la` ,zay ly dgpnae legd zixgya m` ik oeivl `ae 'ne`y mlern izi`x zeptl mid ayie 'py did zixgya l`xyily mzle`b xwre ,dlila dle`b oi`y itl ,miaxrd dyecw xcq ik epx`ia xake ,mid jeza 'vn z` 'i xrpie ez`xwl miqp mixvne epzi`l xwa edfe ,dgpn zlitza `l` dprp `l edil` ixdy oevx zr `id dgpne .xacn dle`ba eidi zayd zekfay itl zegpnd x`ya `le zayd zgpna oxne`l ebdpy-dtw cenr- .epraye eplk`y t"r` oevx zr `idy 'il`bp Translation: At Mincha we recite the verses Ashrei, Tehila L’Dovid, Oo’Vah L’Tziyon.

  • Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew
    Cambridge Semitic Languages and Cultures Heijmans Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew Shai Heijmans (ed.) EDITED BY SHAI HEIJMANS This volume presents a collec� on of ar� cles centring on the language of the Mishnah and the Talmud — the most important Jewish texts (a� er the Bible), which were compiled in Pales� ne and Babylonia in the la� er centuries of Late An� quity. Despite the fact that Rabbinic Hebrew has been the subject of growing academic interest across the past Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew century, very li� le scholarship has been wri� en on it in English. Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew addresses this lacuna, with eight lucid but technically rigorous ar� cles wri� en in English by a range of experienced scholars, focusing on various aspects of Rabbinic Hebrew: its phonology, morphology, syntax, pragma� cs and lexicon. This volume is essen� al reading for students and scholars of Rabbinic studies alike, and appears in a new series, Studies in Semi� c Languages and Cultures, in collabora� on with the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge.
