The front sign reads, ‘Judaism without coercion,’ while the back Jerusalem's Masorti Movement: quotes the Torah principle to ‘Love your fellow as yourself.’ Fading future? • ALAN ROSENBAUM he Masorti Movement in Israel,” says Rabbi Peretz Rodman, Jerusalem-based author and ‘Thead of the Masorti rabbinic court of Israel, “was established by the wave of North American im- migrants – many of whom were rabbis and Jewish ed- ucators – who came in the wake of the Six Day War. They came in 1969, 1970 and 1971, and wanted to cre- ate their own institutions.” More than 50 years later, as the generation of Con- servative Jews that arrived full of post-1967 Zionist ardor passes from the scene, some of Jerusalem’s Masorti synagogues are shrinking. Is a new genera- tion of Masorti Jews ready to take their place, or is Conservative Judaism in Jerusalem destined to fall to the growing haredi influence in the city? Dr. Yizhar Hess, CEO of the Masorti Movement in Israel, is convinced that Masorti Judaism has a future in Israel’s capital, despite its image as a growing bas- tion of ultra-Orthodoxy.

Friedman 15 IBN Gabirol Street Jerusalem, Israel 92430 Dear Herb : Would you believe that since returning from Israel in May , I have been wanting to sit down and tell you about our Dallas Mission . Your letter of April 23, 1974, evidently arrived just as we were leaving for Israel, so I lost the contact with you , whi ch had been so i mportant to me in planning our Mission. Two weeks after our return , I attempted to put into words some personal feelings about the Mission in lieu of per­ sonally appearing at the CJFWF Quarterly Meeting in Los Angeles . Those thoughts, in the form of a letter to Arden Shenker , Chair­ man of the National Committee on Leadership Development , are enclosed. It is now six months later and , strange as it may seem, the 42 people have remained together. We call ourselves Havurat Hatikva, and we come together continually on Jewish holidays, often on Shabbat, with our families in each other's Sukahs, some studying Jewish history taught by one of the members, others taking Hebrew. There is Jewish tradition in homes where there had previously been little or none .

  • Jewish Law in the Beit Midrash of Hasidism
    Jewish Law in the Beit Midrash of Hasidism Levi Cooper* Hasidism – the movement, its leaders and adherents, its ethos and religious message – is often cast in shades of antinomianism or anomianism, suggesting that hasidic masters and their faithful disciples either flouted Jewish law or ignored it. According to this line, the hasidic attitude towards halakhah was not improvised, temporary, or provisional; rather, the disdainful attitude was ideological and systemic. In the following, I argue for a recalibration of this dominant narrative. My argument is rooted in the reality that – contrary to the widespread assumption – hasidic masters from the earliest days of the nascent movement were embedded in the world of halakhah and active in the legal realm. This aspect of Hasidism has yet to be fully explored. In order to banish the existing myth, I will first provide an account of the prevalent depiction: Where does it come from and how widespread is it? Unpacking this popular * This study has been awarded the 2020 prize for best legal history article by the Israeli History and Law Association. The study was conducted while I had the privilege of being an Academic Visitor at the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford. I am grateful for this opportunity, for the gracious assistance afforded me in the Bodleian Libraries during my visit, and to my host Professor Joshua Getzler. I had the opportunity to present portions of this research in various forums and am grateful for the feedback I received: Faculty of Law, Bar-Ilan University; Department of Jewish Thought, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; The Research Project on Galician & Bukowinian Jewry; Faculty of Law, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem; Buchmann Faculty of Law, Tel Aviv University.
