This very problem is expressed in the Midrash The Jewish Observer I September, 1971 3 regarding Jacob's famous dream: one regrets any moral aberration leading to too "Do not be afraid, my servant Jacob" (Isaiah, great an indulgence. 44). Rabbi Nachman said, "This refers to Jacob's On the other hand, lust for personal pride, dream: And he dreamed and behold there was a prestige, and power, which is abstract in nature, is ladder standing on the ground" (Bereishis, 28). never satisfied. If, for exam pie, one lusts for Rav Shmuel bar Nachman said, "These are the money in order to buy some specific object - be it ministering angels of the nations of the world. The a house, a car, or a bottle of whisky - this lust will Almighty showed Jacob the angel of Babylon have a limit commensurate with the cost of the ascending 70 rungs, of Medea 52 rungs, and of article. But, as Isaiah says, "There is no end to the Greece 180 rungs. The angel of Edom continued treasury." There is no limit to the lust for money without stop. Jacob became afraid, saying, 'Will of a person who is obsessed with the possession of their angel never fall?' The Almighty said to him, money -- the power of purchase that money gives, 'Do not fear, my servant Jacob. Even if he rises to rather than an actual purchase. A moral aberration sit next to me, I should cause him to descend.' This in search of power or prestige can therefore never is written in Obadiah, 'If you rise like the eagle and lead to a situation where the pursuer feels he has make your nest amongst the stars, I shall bring you had enough and regrets the aberration.

But the type of exile must be XACTL Y WHAT IS A NATION'S sar? Each one which can lead us to correct our moral E nation has its particular characteristics and deficiency. Therefore, the country of exile must also its particular ideology - its spiritual signifi­ have as its characteristic or ideology that very cance. In Rabbinical terminology the sar is the weakness from which Israel suffered, the cause of personification of the specific ideology of a nation, the exile. the ideal which it admires. Whenever the ideology In the Babylonian exile, for example, we were of any nation is held in esteem, its sar is on a dispersed among a people who were notorious for pedestal. The sar falls only when the ideal of the their immorality, and for appropriate reason: nation is discredited by the world at large - but Although at the end of the period of the first especially by the Jewish nation.

  • B”H Introduction in Our First Article on the AOJS, We Explored Interactions
    B”H Introduction In our first article on the AOJS, we explored interactions between Rebbe and Dr. Offenbacher — its founder. In this article, we will make note of additional interactions the Rebbe had with the AOJS. While the full story of the relationship between the Rebbe and AOJS is worthy of a more detailed study, we will focus here on a few specific interactions. Dr. Cyril Domb Professor Dr. Cyril (Yechiel) Domb (5681-5772) was born in North London, England, into a Chasidic Jewish family. He was deeply affected and inspired by his grandparents who were deeply religious Jews. He, in turn, retained this deep religious feeling, was meticulous in his observance of the Mitzvos — which always took precedence over activities for professional advancement1— and spent much of his free time devoted to Talmudic studies (including attending a daily Daf Yomi Shiur). Dr. Domb led a long and fruitful career in the study of Theoretical physics and statistical mechanics, lecturing at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, King’s College, London University, Bar-Ilan University, University of Maryland, Yeshiva University, Hebrew University, Jerusalem College of Technology and the Weizmann Institute. Shortly before making aliyah to Israel, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. After encountering AOJS members in 5718, during a sabbatical year at the University of Maryland2, he helped found and lead a sister organization of the AOJS in London, in 57223. In 1971, Domb became the general editor of a book series which was sponsored by the AOJS, the purpose of which was to systematically present material which could be used for Jewish education.

  • Harmful Speech, Sensitivity and Political Correctness the Applications and Limitations of Ona’As Devarim1
    PROPERTY VALUES 135 Harmful Speech, Sensitivity and Political Correctness The Applications and Limitations of Ona’as Devarim1 Rabbi Moshe Kurtz Contemporary Western society is well-attuned to the feelings and sensitivities of the various individuals that comprise it. Undoubtedly, sensitivity and concern for another person’s feelings are desirable virtues. However, there has been pushback on this development within American culture, as radical sensitivity for the sake of one party may result in the restriction of the “freedom of expression” of the other party. After the 2016 United States presidential election, I found myself on a retreat with two colleagues of different political persuasions. Colleague A brought up the topic of elections and requested that Colleague B divulge for whom he had voted. Colleague B did not wish to share his political beliefs, but after sufficient prodding, he revealed that he had not voted for the same candidate whom Colleague A had selected. Upon hearing this, Colleague A expressed that he was “offended” and “did not feel safe” around Colleague B, thereby rebuking him into silence� 1. I would like to express gratitude to my teacher R. Dr. Jacob J. Schacter for thoroughly reviewing this paper and for referring me to a number of the essays to which I refer. Additionally, I would like to thank my colleague R. Yair Lichtman, who offered significant feedback while reviewing an earlier draft of this essay.

  • The Pursuit of Perfection: Vice Or Virtue in Judaism?∗
    Dr. Benzion Sorotzkin, Psy.D. Clinical Psychologist Brooklyn, NY www.DrSorotzkin.com [email protected] THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION: VICE OR VIRTUE IN JUDAISM?* תנא דבי אליהו רבה (כג:א) לפיכך Chazal exhort us to strive for ever higher goals. It says in When will my deeds equal those) - יהיו אומרים כל אחד ואחד, מתי יגיעו מעשיי למעשה אברהם יצחק ויעקב. which can be translated as ,("שלימות") of my forefathers)? Likewise, the concept of shleimus perfection, is also an honored goal in chazal. On the other hand, clinical experience and research indicates that perfectionism is often associated with serious emotional disorders (Blatt, 1995; Flett & Hewitt, 2002; Sorotzkin, 1985, 1998) which, in turn, eventually results in lower levels of achievement. This paper will briefly review the psychological literature on perfectionism, examine Yiddishkeit’s attitude toward perfection, some common misconceptions and misapplications of this concept, and the impact of the above on frum patients and therapists. PERFECTIONISM In a comprehensive review of the literature on “the destructiveness of perfectionism,” Blatt (1995) states: The research literature on perfectionism has grown remarkably in the past decade. Numerous empirical investigations... provide consistent evidence that perfectionism is a multi-dimensional construct that can have an important role in adaptive and maladaptive functioning, including a wide range of disorders, especially depression and suicide (p. 1005). Regarding specific diagnostic categories, perfectionism has been associated with obsessive-compulsive disorders, where the person seeks perfection with regard to self-control; * An earlier version of this paper was published in the Journal of Psychology and Judaism, Vol. 23 (4), 1999, pp.
