…and lost income are not included among the damages because a husband is always responsible for his wife’s medical expenses, and because he gets her income anyway.12 Whether or not the husband should enjoy the usufruct is discussed in numerous sources. The Big Book of Mitzvahs expresses surprise at Rambam’s position and quotes the Tosefta’s opinion that the husband enjoys the usufruct.13 In contrast, Rabbi Yosef Karo (b. 1488), in his Kesef Mishna…
…eaching. To my mind, it’s no coincidence that there are a disproportionate number of gay clergy. Half of my ordination class was gay or lesbian. The process of coming out of the closet, the work we’ve done to become whole and unashamedly ourselves is deeply spiritual. Perhaps this is the Torah that gay men and lesbians have heard and give the world – the lesson that we all, gay or not, must be honest about our lives. And it’s a lesson that is usef…

…anted parsley seeds so they’ll have parsley at their Passover seder. “This way, they’ll see the passage of Jewish time,” she explained. For Purim, several volunteers with special needs (from the Learning Barn), will help run a children’s program at BEKI. Johnston and her Kulanu students will “brainstorm” about Purim costumes, learn about “cool” shiny face make-up and hair mascara, and make “shelach manot” with leftover Valentine’s Day candy. Soon,…
…ommitment to remain engaged and to improve it, even if only in a miniscule way, through performance of mitzvot. Some recreational drugs contribute to undesired genetic mutation. The thought of damaging my future offspring has led me to defer consideration of drug use. At this point, my actual children, already born, would be endangered, since as their resident father, I am on call 24-hours a day to provide them emergency care, if not daily guidanc…
…you please talk about something else, because we know our father loves you best and it really hurts our feelings and if you keep talking about it, we’re going to do something bad to you.” And that’s what they did; they made plans to kill him and instead sold him as a slave. What they did was awful. They shouldn’t have sent away their brother. They broke their father’s heart because Yaqov really believed that Yosef was killed by a wild beast. And t…
…e” of issues, or support a bill that is not optimal because it is just the best that they think is attainable. It is not fair to oversimplify the process – doing so is itself a poor way to influence public policy. I do think clergy can, and should, play a significant role in the development of public policy, and that our religious values should inform our positions on civil questions. The Bishop’s attempt seems clumsy, but who am I to comment on i…
…itself, and as an independent being in God’s creation, we believe that the way we view and treat an animal affects the way we treat other people. Cruelty toward animals is often a precursor to cruelty toward people. In our panoply of values, we might in general rank our values as human species survival, human group survival, individual human life, then animal species survival, and finally individual animal survival. The weight of law and tradition…
…unction they had in the works of Diego Velasquez and Jan van Eyck. Another way in which references to masterpieces disturb and animate Wolf’s paintings is in the way his paintings utilize the interplay of gazes within their borders and between their surfaces and the viewer. Figures in the paintings – including animals – often stare at the viewer. Just as often, however, they look so intently into their computers that they seem not to notice one an…
