Read Article 2) Posted Nov 02 2011 Where Flowers Bloom Red From Jewish Blood By Dr. Ervin Birnbaum The place that holds the record for murders in a day - even over such ghastly places as Auschwitz and Treblinka - is Babi Yar. A ravine on the outskirts of Kiev, it is today incorporated within the urban, inhabited sector of the Ukrainian capital. The events described here took place seventy years ago, in 1941, on Rosh Hashanah. Read Article 3) Posted Oct 26 2011 The Real Occupiers: Judea, Circa 50 CE By Rabbi Naphtali Hoff The Occupy Wall Street demonstrations show no sign of abating and the voice of collective dissent now echoes well beyond lower Manhattan. During the past few weeks, the movement has spread nationally, as protesters across the country came together in a leaderless association that rails against corporate greed and social inequality. Read Article 4) Posted Oct 18 2011 Bibi's Historic Surrender To Terrorism By Uri Kaufman In March 1978, at the conclusion of the Litani Operation in South Lebanon, five Israeli soldiers and a civilian jumped into a car and decided to go on an outing. The group took to the road in defiance of army regulations and somehow got waived through a forward checkpoint. Moments later they found themselves surrounded by heavily armed Palestinians. Four of the five soldiers were killed instantly, while the civilian miraculously made it back to Israeli lines the next day. Read Article 5) Posted Oct 16 2011 Shield of Abraham By Roy S. Neuberger Several years ago we spent Sukkos with our children in Beit El, a large community in the "West Bank" of Israel, actually the territory of the Tribe of Binyamin. Read Article 6) Posted Oct 05 2011 Atonement: Getting It Right By Rachel Weiss The newborn is far from shy about letting its feelings be known as it is thrust, against its will, into a frigid and foreign world. With flailing hands and pitiful wails, its displeasure is made amply clear. Which raises the question: Since the soul does not choose to spend time on this planet, is it fair that it is held accountable for the way it goes about living its life here on earth? Read Article 7) Posted Sep 27 2011 Circles Of Change By Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb It was the kind of event I attend frequently these days, and I was in a role in which I often find myself. It was a Jewish gathering to which a number of political officials had been invited. I was asked to sit with a non-Jewish official in order to explain the language of some of the speakers to him. Read Article 8) Posted Sep 21 2011 Roots of Repentance By Rav Dovid Hofstedter Is teshuvah difficult? Teshuvah, repentance, literally means "to return." To what are we returning? What is the nature of the special covenant between God and the Jewish people? Read Article 9) Posted Sep 14 2011 While Six Million Lived: FDR and the Refugee Crisis By Dr. Rafael Medoff The question of whether Jews could have been rescued from Europe in the 1930s, before the onset of the Holocaust, continues to bedevil scholars and the public alike. Read Article 10) Posted Sep 07 2011 Could Europe's Jews Have Been Rescued? By Dr. Rafael Medoff The abandonment of Europe's Jews during the Holocaust has been well documented. But in recent years historians increasingly have turned their attention to the actions of the Roosevelt administration during the 1930s, before the genocide began. What could have been done while the Six Million were still alive? Read Article 11) Posted Aug 31 2011 After Sixty Years: Thoughts on Jewish Education By Marvin Schick That parents are now more involved in the school lives of their children is a development we should welcome. Gone are the days when parents sent their kids off to school and scarcely knew what happened during the many hours they were entrusted to teachers and other school personnel. Read Article 12) Posted Aug 24 2011 Forty Days - Forty Suggestions By Roy S. Neuberger We stand at the threshold of the month of Elul. Each year when this season of repentance comes, we think about how we can come closer to God, but it is often difficult to formulate a program. I would like to offer forty suggestions, one for each day from the first day of Elul through Yom Kippur. They are designed to be practical. I hope they will strike a chord. Read Article 13) Posted Aug 17 2011 Our Mother's Lessons By Rabbi Berel Wein All societies survive through the retention of customs and traditions. If ritual law, halacha and Torah observance are the keystones of Jewish existence, the customs and traditions of Israel are the chain that has kept Israel bound to the Torah and its laws and values. The rabbis called the customs and traditions of Israel "the lessons of your mother" - in contrast and at the same time complementing "the teachings and disciplines of your father." Read Article 14) Posted Aug 10 2011 Inventing 'Palestine' By Jerold S. Auerbach If the UN should decide to recognize a "State of Palestine" in the biblical homeland of the Jewish people it would endorse a bizarre irony. Why? Read Article 15) Posted Aug 03 2011 The Enemy Within By Rabbi Naphtali Hoff The recent pair of terror attacks unleashed by Anders Behring Breivik plunged the Norwegian public into almost inexpressible grief. At a poignant service in Oslo's main cathedral, the king and queen wept. On the streets nearby, a memorial full of flowers continues to grow. Read Article 16) Posted Jul 27 2011 Effects of Divorce On Orthodox Children By S. Faye Zakheim, Ph.D. We tend not to talk about it, but we've all seen what it's like: the empty Shabbos table when the kids are too embarrassed to invite anyone over; the feeling of isolation from married friends who stay away; a mother's frantic effort to find someone to sit with her sons in shul or to dance with them on Simchat Torah; the worries about shidduchim for the older children; the nagging guilt over whether the adult children would have remained frum if it hadn't been for the divorce. Read Article 17) Posted Jul 20 2011 Lost To Orthodoxy: The Fate of Baltimore Hebrew Congregation By Dr. Yitzchok Levine Not many Jews lived in Baltimore during the eighteenth century; by 1796 the entire Jewish population of the city consisted of about 15 families. As late as 1825, Solomon Etting, one of the first Jewish residents of Baltimore, estimated the Jewish population of Baltimore to be about 150. Read Article 18) Posted Jul 13 2011 Grasshoppers - Or Servants Of Hashem? By Roy S. Neuberger "Rabbi Yochanan said that day [when the children of Israel wept in the desert] was the eve of Tisha B'Av. The Holy One said, 'You have wept for no reason. I will fix on this day weeping throughout the generations.' " - Maseches Ta'anis 29a This is how Tisha B'Av became the Day of Tragedy. Read Article 19) Posted Jul 07 2011 Legends And Fantasies In Jewish Life By Rabbi Berel Wein Legends are necessary for nation building and community cohesiveness. Legends of holy and pious people and legends about villains and the wicked are often subject to fabrication and gross exaggeration, but they leave no doubt in the minds of later generations as to who was the holy and pious person and who was the villain. Read Article 20) Posted Jun 29 2011 'Palestine' In The Land Of Israel? By Jerold S. Auerbach Would the creation of a Palestinian state by vote of the United Nations General Assembly, expected in September, be illegal?
