…my way back to them. Then she said to me: “I want you to picture yourself finding your way out of the desert. Just imagine that after all those years you find your way back. Close your eyes and tell me where you are and what you see.” So I close my eyes and I can see very clearly. I am outside of a very little shul. And I know to stay outside. The rabbi, who is leading me through this meditative journey, says to me, “Look inside. What do you see?…
…le-deeds. “Procedures for registration, not only of old title, but also of transfers, inheritance, vivification of mewat, the auction of maḥlūl, and prior purchase…were dealt with in the Tapu Law.”14 The Tapu Seneds Law, issued in 1859, provided that “No one in the future for any reason whatsoever will be able to possess mīrī without a title-deed.”15 Effects of the Land Laws The provisions requiring registration, however, were “extensively ig…

…Lavan. Now, in compliance, Ya`aqov leaves home. Night falls along the way. Finding himself in barren terrain, Ya`aqov puts his head down on a rock, falls asleep, and dreams. He sees angels ascending and descending a ladder to Heaven. Then God is at his side and speaks to him, saying that He will give this land to Ya`aqov and that his seed will be multitudinous. God will be with Ya`aqov and will bring him back to the land to keep His promise. Ya`aq…
…d 1% at six months. People who study resilience point out that there are a number of factors that can predict how well someone will handle severe trauma. These come from studies of hospitalized survivors of motor vehicle accidents, combat veterans, people who lived through the Los Angeles riots, the Oklahoma City bombings and many other tragedies. While degree of exposure is the greatest predictor, other individual characteristics include a good t…
…the 10th century B.C.E.; and the E strand probably written between 900 and 800 B.C.E.. The redaction or the compiling of the whole Torah is usually seen as occurring in Babylonia between 600 and 400 B.C.E. For our three passages only J and E are relevant — the first and third passages are usually attributed to J and the second to E. The first account, of Abraham and Sarah in Egypt, is most like a folktale; it is the simplest in structure. It show…

…ctually needed to be rationed in some way. Today, although we do sell some tickets, our real problem is that we can’t give tickets away. That is, most American Jews do not come to synagogue on the High Holy Days and would not come even if we gave them free tickets. This fact represents a serious challenge to our community, one that should not be neglected. But the truth is, even if we gave away door prizes, many of “those” people are just not inte…
…erent. Everybody does something behind closed doors, whether it be write a cheap romance novel or go to some forbidden site on the Web. The thing I do behind closed doors is write poetry. Long and involved, they usually represent some flaw in humanity or in myself or just some tragic love poem.
