… to the Archeological Park in Jerusalem on Friday really helped me to grasp things. Here I was standing at the foot of the actual steps that led up to the Second Temple all those years ago. It wasn’t just an old story. It wasn’t a myth. It really happened. And I am a descendant of these people who came to this place to worship. I always get a bit teary at the Wall, and I’m never sure why. Friday was no exception, standing at the foot of those steps. I always thought it was all this spirituality in the air that got to me. But perhaps it’s something deeper than that. When we went over to see Robinson’s Arch , or what’s left of it, the enormity of the destruction really hit me and I was very sad. This has never happened to me before. I must have needed to be able to envision this as a real place, for me to begin to understand the terrible tragedy of what happened back then.

In an era that requires a new relationship between Israel and the Jewish world, a new paradigm based on partnership could greatly benefit Israel’s Home Front. As most Jews currently live in Israel, the ‘Israeli Home Front’ presents a challenge for all the Jewish people. If the destruction of the Second Temple created the concept of [...]... more

Neither flour nor Torah

The global financial meltdown’s spread to the sources of funding on which this country’s haredi institutions depend is proving the mishnaic axiom that “when there is no flour, there is no Torah.” As The Jerusalem Post reported last week, the well of foreign donations that keeps kollelim, yeshivot and other haredi institutions afloat is running dry, sending full-time scholars out into the job market. The story of Tuvia, a 20-year-old hassid from Jerusalem who chose to ... more

Strange mistake

Post Date: 2008-07-29 14:42:51

Someone said Jews were not a race. And I said we’re more than a race, we were an extended family. And I said we are the descendants of Jacob son of Abraham. But Jacob was not the son of Abraham. He was the grandson of Abraham. There is something about Isaac, about his silence after his father nearly slaughtered him. Maybe I’m too ashamed to look him in the eye. As Abraham’s flesh and blood.
