He said, “BEKI is a responsible institution which will help guarantee Jewish values and Jewish continuity forever.” Rabbi Levine, a widower, also wished to memorialize his wife, Malka. “I wanted to guarantee and perpetuate the principles of Judaism that she lived during her lifetime.” He will receive income from the Charitable Gi…
…resist new conventions or emerging non-conventional methods, but at other times such resistance is not in our best interest.” While much of Jewish civilization and religion have grown and adapted over the centuries, and represents an extraordinarily valuable heritage applicable directly in our day, there are a few points that might need reconsideration, as part of the natural process of change.
