Belogski: November 2008
http://belogski.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Assorted thoughts, observations and articles on Judaism and the state of the Jewish world today. Saturday, November 01, 2008. Heady Reflections On A Sukkot Adventure. I looked in the mirror this morning and realised that the bump on my head hasn’t quite gone away. It’s only a couple of weeks since Sukkot, so I thought I’d share the story and what I learned from it. On the first day of Chol HaMoed (Thursday) I had planned to join my family for a trip to the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew (see. Unable to g...

Belogski: June 2009
http://belogski.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Assorted thoughts, observations and articles on Judaism and the state of the Jewish world today. Friday, June 26, 2009. JCoSS: not cross-communal; at best non-Orthodox. The imminent opening of JCoSS (Jewish Community Secondary School) has generated unprecedented interest. Adorned with the slogan ‘excellence, choice, openness, inclusion’, its website describes it as ‘the first cross-communal Jewish secondary school in the UK’. The battle-lines seem drawn already. It is no secret that in a rare display of ...

Belogski: December 2007
http://belogski.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Assorted thoughts, observations and articles on Judaism and the state of the Jewish world today. Wednesday, December 19, 2007. This week’s Torah reading sees Yaakov at the end of his life dispensing blessings to each of his sons. There is a comparable passage right at the end of the Torah, in which Moshe blesses the tribes soon before he dies. While these two poetic sections are quite similar, I want to focus on a difference:. A lion’s whelp is Yehudah…. 8230;Dan is a lion’s whelp…. All of the count of t...

Assorted thoughts, observations and articles on Judaism and the state of the Jewish world today. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. The place of a non-believing Jew. I think that while it’s a matter of great regret that Charlie doesn’t believe in God, and it would be desirable to discuss his beliefs with him in detail, his question deserved an answer. How would you have answered? A version of this article appeared on Cross-Currents. Labels: Inspiration And Jewish Thought. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Assorted thoughts, observations and articles on Judaism and the state of the Jewish world today. Monday, December 21, 2009. Ironies and opportunities: reflections on the JFS ruling. It is good news that several of the justices felt that there may be a problem with the law. However, while any legislative remedy will certainly be very challenging, we will need to muster the support of those who are able to influence this process to ensure that Judaism is treated on a par with other faiths. Many people are ...

Seder Qodshim: Some Preliminary Reflections | Davar Akher
http://benabuya.com/2015/02/18/seder-qodshim-some-preliminary-reflections
Looking for alternative explanations. Seder Qodshim: Some Preliminary Reflections. It has taken me a good few years, but I have finally finished the first four sedarim of the Mishna and am now halfway through the forty-first tractate: Masekhet Zevachim. These remarks of mine are premature, since I am only at the very beginning of Seder Qodshim, but I cannot help but note a qualitative difference between this tractate and every one of the other forty tractates that I have already covered. And so I wonder ...

Looking for alternative explanations. Rare Footage of the First Convention of Agudas Yisrael. This beautiful and incredible footage has been doing the rounds lately, and is well worth watching. The reason for its sudden popularity is no doubt the segment showing the Chafetz Chayim, R’ Yisrael Meir haKohen, at 0:57, flanked by both his son on his left and his grandson on his right. Rabbi Yitzhak Adlerstein. R’ Avraham Tzvi Perlmuter, the “Dameshek Eliezer” (0:27);. R’ Elchanan Wasserman (2:22);. These rem...
