Some in the community hold Chaya responsible for his death. However, in a scene where Chaya goes to the family's mourning service, the mother feels compassion for Chaya and realizes that Chaya felt a deep connection with Simcha. As an act of acceptance, his mother rips Chaya's shirt, which is a sign of a mourner (a sibling, parent, child or spouse of the deceased) in Jewish tradition. The boy's father finally, albeit silently, acknowledges Chaya's connection with Simcha when she observes the graveside service.
The concept of simcha is an important one in Jewish philosophy. A popular teaching by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, a 19th-century Chassidic Rabbi, is "Mitzvah Gedolah Le'hiyot Besimcha Tamid," it is a great mitzvah (commandment) to always be in a state of happiness. When a person is happy one is much more capable of serving God and going about one's daily activities than when depressed or upset.Likutei MoHaran Jews often use simcha in its capacity as a Hebrew and Yiddish noun meaning festive occasion.

Her father, Betzalel HaLevi of Zhovkva was a prominent Ukrainian rabbi, known for his relatively progressive halakhic views. Betzalel himself was a direct paternal descendant of the early 17th- century halakhist, Joel Sirkis who was also known for his progressive views on Halakha, thus Simcha Bunim was greatly influenced by his mother's family of prolific liberal Judaists, who originally descended from the Biblical commentator, Rashi. Simcha Bunim's childhood was defined by traditional Jewish values juxtaposed with the secular german cultural orbit. He is considered by some to have been an Illui (child prodigy).
Around 1793, he and his wife moved to Przysucha, where he briefly worked as a bookkeeper, later opening up an apothecary shop. He soon became well known for his medical ability and several Polish nobles came to Simcha Bunim for their pharmaceutical needs. It was also around this time, that he became the main disciple of the Yaakov Yitzchak Rabinowicz (the Holy Jew of Peshischa) and his newly formed Hasidic school of thought. Unlike his Hasidic contemporaries, the Holy Jew preached individuality and authenticity, which attracted Simcha Bunim to his movement.
Because Rabbi Matithyahu Salomon is a disciple of Rabbi Eliyahu Lopian, he follows the Kelm mussar school philosophy. For a further discussion on the Kelm school of thought refer to the Mussar Approach of Rabbi Simcha Zissel Ziv.

After his marriage he lived in Haifa where he was appointed as Maggid Shiur of Ohr Simcha Yeshivah in Haifa. He was also given the opportunity to give in depth shiurim in the Beis Yisroel Yeshivah of Ashdod. After the death of his uncle Rebbe Simcha Bunim Alter of Ger in the year 1992, his father who was then appointed as Rebbe of the Ger Dynasty requested he should move back to his birthplace Jerusalem. In July of 1993 he was given the prestigious position of Rosh Yeshivah of Sfas Emes Yeshivah as per his father's request.
He became fully immersed in the contemporary culture of the time, attending German plays and operas, and studying pharmacology, enlightenment philosophy, European languages and natural science. He eventually received his apothecary diploma after passing an exam before a board of doctors in Lviv. It was during this time that he became close with David of Lelov who convinced Simcha Bunim to travel to Yaakov Yitzchak Horowitz (the Seer of Lublin). When he arrived in Lublin, he was soon taken under the wing of the Seer who was deeply impressed with Simcha Bunim's remarkable intellect and vast Talmudic knowledge.
However, while spending time at the Seer's Hasidic court, Simcha Bunim began to develop great disdain with the mannerisms and behaviour which had recently defined the culture of Hasidism. Particularly the role in which the rebbe played in his follower's lives. In Lublin and other Hasidic courts of his time, the rebbe had absolute control and say over his congregants and played the role of the impetus of God. This immeasurably disturbed Simcha Bunim who was a fervent exponent of religious individualism, believing that no rebbe, however holy, could ever usurp the role of the individual.
Simcha Bunim was adamantly against the autocratic nature which had defined Hasidic leadership of his time and he encouraged his students, to think critically and to be independent of him. He believed the role of the rabbi was that of a teacher who helped his disciples develop their own sense of autonomy and not of an enforcer or impetus of God. Those students who are unable to accept responsibility for themselves were considered unfit to be part of Peshischa. This sentiment spread throughout Poland, leading to several attempts by Hasidic leadership of his time to excommunicate Simcha Bunim.

And, to his > great joy and astonishment, after some effort he uncovered a chest of gold > coins!

Grave of Menachem Mendel Morgenstern in Kock, Poland Photo of Mendel Meir Morgenstern the Kotzker Rebbe of Bnei Brak Kotzk (Yiddish: קאצק) is a Hasidic dynasty originating from the city of Kock, Poland, where it was founded by Menachem Mendel Morgenstern (1787–1859). Kotzk is a branch of Peshischa Hasidism, as Menachem Mendel Morgenstern was the leading disciple of Simcha Bunim of Peshischa (1765–1827). Following Simcha Bunim's death he led the divided Peschischa community, which he eventually incorporated into his own Hasidic dynasty. Kotzk follows a Hasidic philopshy known for its critical and rationalistic approach to Hasidism and its intense approach to personal improvement which is based on a process of harsh constructive criticism and total transparency of self.
Another aspect of Simcha Bunim's life which challenged Hasidic leadership was his belief in the importance of self authenticity. He adamantly believed that one could not stand with any sense of integrity before God unless one first had some clarity of who one really was. Contemporary Hasidic leaders saw his emphasis on individualism as a form of Hedonism, while Simcha Bunim insisted that, for one to fulfill the Mitzvot, they must first work on themselves, and that by working to better one's self, one fulfills a major mitzvah, in his own right. He believed that the pursuance of authenticity should usurp the status quo, and only those who have developed an understanding of themselves can begin to pursue personal authenticity.

Evidence for the presence of the Third Wall of the New City from the time of King Agrippa I has been found on Shmuel HaNavi Street. Reinforcing this connection, Simcha Mandelbaum found coins from the Bar Kokhba era on the site of his new house at the beginning of the street.Rossoff (2001), p. 555. The Talmud (Zevachin 107a) and the author of Kaftor VeFerach cite a location near or on the street as the site where the deshen (ashes) from sacrifices on the Temple Altar were deposited.
Both Chaim and his elder brother Simcha (d. 1812) studied under Rabbi Aryeh Leib ben Asher Gunzberg, the author of the Shaagas Aryeh, who was then rabbi of Volozhin, and afterward under Rabbi Raphael ha-Kohen, (the author of the Toras Yekusiel), later of Hamburg. Aged 25, Chaim was attracted by the fame of the Vilna Gaon, and he became one of his most prominent disciples. Submitting to his new teacher's method, he began his studies anew, taking up again Torah, Mishnah, Talmud, and even Hebrew grammar.
The Hebrew phrase yad soledet bo (, the degree of heat "from which the hand recoils") is a principle in Jewish law that governs those laws that deal with cooking. It can be referred to as "burning"Rabbi Simcha Bunim Cohen, The Shabbos Kitchen, Mesorah Publications, Ltd. 1991, page 4 and is the temperature at which someone would reflexively withdraw one's hand from the source of heat. The Talmud additionally refers to this degree of heat as that which would scald a baby's abdomen.(B.
Her support of Hasidic leaders and tzadikim also continued after her husband's death. Several impoverished Hasidic leaders reportedly rebuffed her efforts to assist them, including Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Alter of Ger and Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotzk, but Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peshischa and Rabbi Yitzchak of Vorka accepted her largesse. Temerl hired the latter two tzadikim to help manage her business interests. Her philanthropy extended to non-Hasidic Polish Jews as well; she was praised by one mitnagid (Jewish opponent of Hasidism) as "the Polish Hasidah".
Litzman in 2010 His first job was as principal of the Hasidic Beis Yaakov girls' school in Jerusalem. He became active in politics under the guidance of the then-Gerrer Rebbe, Rabbi Simcha Binem Alter. Over time, Litzman became known as the rebbe's right-hand man, a role he continues under the present Gerrer Rebbe, Rabbi Yaakov Arye Alter. In 1999, the present rebbe asked Litzman to join the Agudat Yisrael faction of the United Torah Judaism list for the Knesset elections that year.
Babylonian Talmud: Berakoth 18Babylonian Talmud: Shabbath 151 Shemira is practiced out of respect for the dead, in that they should not be abandoned prior to their arrival in their new "home" in the ground. This serves as a comfort for the surviving loved ones as well. According to various midrashic tradition, the soul hovers over the body for either three days (Genesis Rabbah 100:7 and Leviticus Rabbah 18:1) or seven days (Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer, chapter 34) after death.Raphael, Simcha Paull (2009).
But God, who knows what will happen in the future, mourned for the world before its destruction. The Gemara noted, however, that there are those who say that the seven days before the Flood were days of mourning for Methuselah (who died just before the Flood).Jerusalem Talmud Moed Katan 17a, in, e.g., Talmud Yerushalmi, elucidated by Chaim Ochs, Avrohom Neuberger, Mordechai Smilowitz, and Mendy Wachsman, edited by Chaim Malinowitz, Yisroel Simcha Schorr, and Mordechai Marcus (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2012), volume 28, page 17a3–4.
And other Rabbis counseled that prohibits taking actions that would make one's spouse unattractive. Thus Rav Judah said in the name of Rav that requires a man not to become engaged to a woman before he sees her, lest he subsequently see something in her that might make her repulsive to him.Babylonian Talmud Kiddushin 41a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by David Fohrman, Dovid Kamenetsky, and Michoel Weiner, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2001), volume 37, pages 41a2.
After a prolonged search, he found in Huesca the commentary on the first three orders, and shortly afterward the Arabic original of the commentary on the first five orders. The latter was thereupon translated into Hebrew by several scholars between 1296 and 1298, and Simcha returned with it to Rome, after having encountered various dangers on his journey. He appears to have written some books also, although,with the exception of certain fragments in Shibbole ha-Lekhet, nothing written by him has been preserved.
But Rabbi Judah said that on Rosh Hashanah, the blast was made with a ram's horn shofar, while on jubilee the blast was made with an antelope's (or some say a goat's) horn shofar.Mishnah Rosh Hashanah 3:5, in, e.g., Jacob Neusner, translator, Mishnah, page 304; Babylonian Talmud Rosh Hashanah 26b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Rosh Hashanah, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Israel Schneider, Moshe Zev Einhorn, and Eliezer Herzka, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1999), volume 18, page 26b.
Thus, since the Jewish people were themselves strangers, they should not demean a convert because he is a stranger in their midst. And this explains the adage that one who has a person hanged in the family does not say to another member of the household: Hang a fish for me, as the mention of hanging is demeaning for that family.Babylonian Talmud Bava Metzia 59a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Mordechai Rabinovitch and Tzvi Horowitz, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr, volume 42, pages 59b3.
Elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Eliezer Herzka, Zev Meisels, Hillel Danziger, and Avrohom Neuberger; edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 58, pages 28a2. Reading "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One," the Rabbis taught that God told Israel that all that God had created, God created in pairs: heaven and earth, sun and moon, Adam and Eve, this world and the World To Come. But God's Glory is One and Unique in the world.Deuteronomy Rabbah 2:31.

The Gemara explained that our Rabbis taught that disqualified priests by reason of a bodily blemish, and not by reason of age; and Levites were disqualified by age, for they were qualified for service only from the age of 30 to 50, and not by bodily blemish.
Rabbi Meir deduced from that anyone who cursed God using a substitute for God's Name was subject to execution (since does not mention God's Name). But the Sages maintained that blasphemy was punishable by death only when the blasphemer used God's ineffable Name, and blasphemy employing substitutes was the object of an injunction (but not punishable by death).Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 56a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Michoel Weiner and Asher Dicker, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 48, pages 56a3–4.
He was born in the town of Luknik, Lithuania, and studied under Rabbi Meir Simcha of Dvinsk, Rabbi Yisroel Salanter, and Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor. He married Osnat Geffen (1880-1942) with whom he had two sons, Yosef and Azriel. Following the death of Rabbi Spektor in 1896, his son, Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Spektor, renamed the yeshiva that his father had founded in Kovno, Knesses Beis Yitzchok and chose Rabinowitz as the first rosh yeshiva. After this, Rabinowitz served as rabbi to the town of Meishad, Lithuania.
Rabbi Levi, however, taught that at Yavneh, the strap was untied and people were no longer subject to punishment for the private sins of individuals. A Heavenly voice declared that the Israelites no longer needed to get involved in hidden sins or to inquire about them.Jerusalem Talmud Sotah 35b (7:5), in, e.g., Talmud Yerushalmi. Elucidated by Gershon Hoffman, Abba Zvi Naiman, Mendy Wachsman, and Chaim Ochs; edited by Chaim Malinowitz and Yisroel Simcha Schorr, volume 37, pages 35b2–3. Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2017.
Only in 1964 did Prime Minister Levi Eshkol decide in favor of burying him there, in the interest of promoting national reconciliation and setting aside political grievances. Soldiers awarded with the Medal of Valor may also be buried at Mount Herzl. To the north of Herzl's grave is a plot reserved for the leaders of the (World) Zionist Organization, among them David Wolffsohn, Nahum Sokolow, Simcha Dinitz, and Arieh Dulzin. In the same section are the graves and cenotaphs of close relatives of Theodor Herzl.
The presidents of the congregation between the two world wars were Samuel Teleki, a landowner and distiller; Simcha Klein, a landowner; and Albert Fischer, a furniture factory owner. During this period of thriving Jewish life, the Zionist movement which was sweeping through Transylvania attracted some followers in Gherla, and precipitated some meetings and events. The first Zionist organization in Gherla was established in 1919. The various Zionist youth groups, such as the Aviva and Barissia, as well as Betar, were launched during the 1920s.

Israeli author Amos Oz, who today is described as the 'aristocrat' of Labor ZionismTo Rule Jerusalem By Roger Friedland, Richard Hecht, University of California Press, 2000, page 203 No'al, meeting with Jewish resistance fighter Simcha Rotem. Founded in 1924, No'al is one of the largest Zionist Youth movements. Labor Zionism originated in Eastern Europe. Socialist Zionists believed that centuries of oppression in antisemitic societies had reduced Jews to a meek, vulnerable, despairing existence that invited further antisemitism, a view originally stipulated by Theodor Herzl.
In 1970, Rabbis Noah Weinberg, Mendel Weinbach, Nota Schiller, and Yaakov Rosenberg, founded Shema Yisrael Yeshiva to attract young Jewish men with little or no background in Jewish studies. The founders of the Yeshiva eventually parted ways due to differences in philosophy of teaching with Rabbi Weinberg founding Aish HaTorah in 1974 and Rabbi Rosenberg founding Machon Shlomo in 1982. In 1973, Shema Yisrael changed its name to Ohr Somayach, the title of a commentary on the Mishneh Torah written by Rabbi Meir Simcha of Dvinsk.
During the course of the festivities, a public debate was held in which combatants of Peshischa appealed to Avraham Heshel to decide whether to ban Peshischa or not. They described Peshischa as a movement of radical intellectual pietists (misnagdim) and non-conformists who endangered the Hasidic establishment. They also criticized Simcha Bunim for dressing in contemporary German fashion as opposed to the traditional Hasidic garb, claiming that his German pedigree debarred him from being an adequate Hassidic leader. His critics mockingly called him "der deutschle" (lit.
In 2009, Rabbi Steven Weil succeeded Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb as the OU's Executive Vice President, and was succeeded by Allen Fagin in April 2014. In 2011 Rabbi Simcha Katz became president, and was succeeded by Moishe Bane in January 2017. In 2014, the first women were elected as national officers of the OU; specifically, three female national vice presidents and two female associate vice presidents were elected. In 2017, the OU adopted as formal policy the normative Orthodox position that clergy is only for men.
The pages of the MS., however, show some disorder. One of the three remaining copies, copied in 1930 by Qafih's grandson, was acquired by the Hebrew University library,A Judeo-Arabic copy of the original; three microfilm copies can be seen at the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem: microfilm # F-4850, F-72437 and JER_NLI_593=38. See library's Permanent Link from which a comprehensive study was made of the text by Professor Simcha Assaf who published his findings in the periodical Kiryat Sefer, in 1933.
Rabbi Eliezer taught that the prohibition of eating the meat of a peace-offering on the third day in also applied to invalidate the sacrifice of one who merely intended to eat sacrificial meat on the third day.Babylonian Talmud Zevachim 29a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Israel Schneider, and Michoel Weiner, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 55, page 29a.

Many understory plants such as the saw greenbriar, Smilax bona-nox are variegated with pale markings which may serve as camouflage. The possibility of protective coloration in plants has been little studied. T. J. Givnish and Simcha Lev-Yadun have proposed that leaf variegation with white spots may serve as camouflage in forest understory plants, where there is a dappled background. Lev-Yadun has also suggested, however, that similar markings serve as conspicuous warning coloration in well-defended thorny plants of open habitats, where the background is uniformly bright.
When he was 11, he was sent to the Ohr Hachaim yeshiva in Slabodka, headed by Tzvi Levitan, a student of the Simcha Zissel Ziv, "the Alter of Kelm". During the year that he studied there, he was exposed to the musar teachings of the mashgiach, Eliyahu Laicrovits. In 1902, he journeyed to Maltsch to study under Zalman Sender Kahana-Shapiro, who also presided as the Chief Rabbi of the city. Due to an internal conflict in the yeshiva, Kahana-Shapiro left Maltsch, and transferred to Kriniki, barely a year after Sarna had arrived.
Pinchas Menachem was born in Falenica, near Warsaw, Poland. He was the only offspring of the second marriage of his father, Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Alter, the fourth Rebbe of Ger, to Feyge Mintshe Biderman. Pinchas Menachem had four half-brothers and two half-sisters from his father's first marriage—including the fifth Rebbe of Ger, Rabbi Yisrael Alter, and Rabbi Simcha Bunim Alter, the sixth Rebbe of Ger. Pinchas Menachem's bar mitzva took place near Ludmir in Poland (now western Ukraine) not long before the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
Usage of a plastic emitter in drip irrigation was developed in Israel by Simcha Blass and his son Yeshayahu. Instead of releasing water through tiny holes easily blocked by tiny particles, water was released through larger and longer passageways by using friction to slow water inside a plastic emitter. The first experimental system of this type was established in 1959 by Blass, who partnered later (1964) with Kibbutz Hatzerim to create an irrigation company called Netafim. Together they developed and patented the first practical surface drip irrigation emitter.
Moshe Dayan Boulevard, beginning at Highway 1 (Israel/Palestine) in the south and ending in Neve Yaakov in the north, is named after the famed Israeli Army general. It is Pisgat Ze'ev's major commercial thoroughfare, including many shops, eateries and the Pisga Mall. Many of the street names in Pisgat Ze'ev commemorate leading Israeli personalities such as Simcha Holtzberg, Moshe Rachmilewitz, Eliyahu Meridor and Meir Gershon. In the center of Pisgat Ze'ev, many streets are named for Israel Defense Forces units that fought in the country's wars such as Sayeret Duchifat Blvd.
Ultimately, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach's decision on the matter, which agreed with Malinowitz's position, eroded support for the law. In 1992 Malinowitz was appointed, along with Rabbi Yisrael Simcha Schorr, as general editor of the Schottenstein Edition of the Babylonian Talmud published by ArtScroll. The English-language Schottenstein Talmud spanned 73 volumes and was completed over a period of 15 years. Malinowitz was responsible for approving "every single line and every single footnote" of the translation and commentary of the Talmud submitted by the editorial staff for both the English and Hebrew editions.
Rabbi Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik Simcha Sheps was born to Simon Sheps in Wysokie Mazowieckie, Russian Empire (currently in Poland). His father died when he was an infant, and Sheps was raised by his mother and his grandfather in the nearby town of Sheptakova. At the age of eleven, he went to study in the Yeshiva Ketana of Bransk, and then in Łomża. After his bar mitzva, Sheps went to study in Yeshivas Ohel Torah-Baranovich, where he learned under Dovid Rappaport (the Mikdash Dovid), Leib Gavia, and Elchonon Wasserman.
Rabbi Jose the son of Rabbi Hanina taught that a priest was not permitted to wash in a laver that did not contain enough water to wash four priests, for says, "That Moses and Aaron and his sons might wash their hands and their feet thereat."

Rotenberg has cited the musicians Rabbi Ben Zion Shenker and Shlomo Carlebach as strong influences. While his folk-inspired sound and inspirational lyrics are strongly reminiscent of Carlebach, Rotenberg's soft and sometimes melancholic voice, however, contrasts with Carlebach's ecstatic style. Rotenberg has collaborated with other Jewish musicians including Mordechai ben David, Avraham Fried, Yehuda Schechter, Yaakov Shwekey, Baruch Levine, Moshe Yess and Shlomo Simcha with whom he co-starred in Israel National Radio's Miracles 18 concert. Rotenberg has also been a main fixture of the annual HASC A Time for Music concerts.

Area separating Jewish Jerusalem from Arab Jerusalem before the erection of the Mandelbaum Gate, May 1949. Before 1948, Shmuel HaNavi Street lay at the northern edge of Jewish Jerusalem, with the Arab neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah to the northeast. Its location beyond populated areas such as Mea Shearim and Beit Yisrael was the reason why Simcha Mandelbaum, a Jewish merchant who had raised his family in the Old City, decided to build a new home at the eastern end of the street in 1927.Rossoff (2001), p. 554.
He contributed guitar and arrangements to singer Benny Friedman's second album, Yesh Tikvah (2012). He was also featured in the video for the album's single "Maaleh Ani". In 2013, Kunstler, Yaakov Chesed bandmate Jake Polansky, Immanuel Shalev of The Maccabeats, and recording artist Simcha Leiner were judges at the third annual V'Ata Banim Shiru, an a cappella competition at Torah Academy of Bergen County that raises money for the Koby Mandell Foundation. That same year, he contributed to the Moshe Yess tribute album The Yess Legacy with a cover of "Coming Home".
New York's 17th State Senate district is one of 63 districts in the New York State Senate. It has been represented by Democrat Simcha Felder since 2013, following his defeat of incumbent Republican David Storobin in 2012. Since his first election, Felder has run on both the Democratic and Republican party lines and has alternately caucused with both parties; since July 2019, he has been a member of the Democratic caucus. District 17 is currently the most Republican-leaning district in the State Senate to be held by a Democrat.
Catharine Young challenged Republican leader John Flanagan in a post-election bid for the minority leader position, losing 14–9. She resigned her seat effective March 10, 2019 to take another position. On July 1, 2019, Andrea Stewart-Cousins announced that Simcha Felder was joining the Senate Democratic Conference as its 40th member. On November 5, 2019, Republican Chautauqua County Executive George Borrello defeated Democrat Austin Morgan in a special election to fill the Senate seat in District 57 that was left vacant following the resignation of Catharine Young.
Rabbi Jose the Galilean taught that the "certain men who were unclean by the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day" in were those who bore Joseph's coffin, as implied in and . The Gemara cited their doing so to support the law that one who is engaged on one religious duty is free from any other.Babylonian Talmud Sukkah 25a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli.

The Rabbis taught in a Baraita that once Rabbi Joshua ben Hananiah was standing on a step on the Temple Mount, and Ben Zoma (who was younger than Rabbi Joshua) saw him but did not stand up before him in respect. So Rabbi Joshua asked Ben Zoma what was up.
The Gemara explained that it was possible for both the priest and the donor to perform the waving because the priest placed his hand under the hand of the donor and they waved the basket together.Babylonian Talmud Sukkah 47b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Succah, Volume 2, elucidated by Eliezer Herzka, Noson Dovid Rabinowitch, Dovid Kamenetsky, and Michoel Weiner, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1998), volume 16, page 47a.

In 1953, Wasserman's son, Rabbi Simcha Wasserman, founded Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon (, "Light of Elchonon") in Los Angeles. In 1977, the yeshiva was sold to Chabad and until today stands as Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad/West Coast Talmudical Seminary. Wasserman went on to found another Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon in Jerusalem together with Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Chodosh. In 1997, Rabbi Leib Baron, an alumnus of the yeshiva, founded Yeshiva Ahavas Torah Baranovich in Jerusalem with a beis medrash (undergraduate program) for post-high school boys and a kollel for married men.
The Christian imagery in the Reeve films has provoked comment on the Jewish origin of Superman. Rabbi Simcha Weinstein's book Up, Up and Oy Vey: How Jewish History, Culture and Values Shaped the Comic Book Superhero, says that Superman is both a pillar of society and one whose cape conceals a "nebbish", saying "He's a bumbling, nebbish Jewish stereotype. He's Woody Allen." Ironically, it is also in the Reeve films that Clark Kent's persona has the greatest resemblance to Woody Allen, though his conscious model was Cary Grant's character in Bringing Up Baby.
The title page to Sefer Yismach Yisroel The Aleksander (Yiddish: אלעקסאנדער) is a Hasidic dynasty originating from the city of Aleksandrow Lodzki, Poland, where it was founded by Shraga Fayvel Dancyger (d. 1848). Aleksander is a branch of Peshischa Hasidism, as Shraga Fayvel Dancyger was a leading disciple of Simcha Bunim of Peshischa (1765-1827). Prior to the Holocaust, Aleksander Hasidism were the second to largest Hasidic group in Poland . They attracted artisans, merchants and water carriers rather than elite Talmudic scholars and richer people who were attracted to Ger.
Yet he also displayed a genuine simcha shel mitzvah (joy in performing mitzvos), and would engage others with humorous vertlach (stories). He was also quite humble. Unlike the custom of most Rebbes, who first partake of the food at a tish and then hand out shirayim to those in attendance, the Rebbe would distribute the food to the attendees and only afterward take for himself, saying that he wanted "to eat shirayim from the holy Jewish nation". He also waited for others to be served before he would partake at family meals.
During Sofer's tenure as the Rabbi of Bratislava (1806 – 1839), the yeshiva was attended by hundreds of students. After Sofer's death in 1839, his son Samuel Benjamin Sofer known as the Ktav Sofer became the Rabbi of Bratislava. After his death in 1871, his son Simcha Bunim Sofer known as the Shevet Sofer became Rabbi. The last Rabbi of Bratislava from the Schreiber – Sofer dynasty was Akiva Sofer known as the Daas Sofer, who emigrated in 1939 to Mandatory Palestine and later re-founded the yeshiva in Jerusalem.
Wylie later threatened to sue National Comics for plagiarism. Siegel signed an affidavit that claimed Superman was not influenced by Gladiator, though he had reviewed the novel for his fanzine Science Fiction in 1932. Because Siegel and Shuster were both Jewish, some religious commentators and pop-culture scholars such as Rabbi Simcha Weinstein and British novelist Howard Jacobson suggest that Superman's creation was partly influenced by Moses and other Jewish elements. However, Siegel and Shuster claim that having Superman drop out of the sky just seemed like a good idea.
Cover of The Jesus Family Tomb. The Jesus Family Tomb: The Discovery, the Investigation, and the Evidence That Could Change History () is a controversial book by Simcha Jacobovici and Charles R. Pellegrino (with a Foreword by James Cameron) published in February 2007. It tells the story of the discovery of the Talpiot Tomb on Friday March 28, 1980 (two days before Palm Sunday) and makes an argument that it is the tomb of Jesus Christ and his "family." However, this claim has been rejected by a majority of leading experts and academics.
Deveykus was formed in 2012 by trombonist Dan Blacksberg and guitarist Nick Millevoi, who had known each other since middle school and played together in several bands, including the hardcore punk act Electric Simcha.

Deveykus' debut album, Pillar Without Mercy, was released on June 18, 2013 as part of Tzadik Records' Radical Jewish Culture series. The track "Wordless Ecstacy" was premiered in April by Alarm magazine.
A Baraita interpreted the term "his fitted linen garment" (, mido) in to teach that the each priestly garment in had to be fitted to the particular priest, and had to be neither too short nor too long.Babylonian Talmud Zevachim 35a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Israel Schneider, and Michoel Weiner, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 55, page 35a. The Gemara interpreted the words "upon his body" in to teach that there was to be nothing between the priest’s body and his priestly garment.
The Gemara thus concluded that these verses taught that three priests were required for this part of the service, giving effect to the teaching of "In the multitude of people is the king's glory."Babylonian Talmud Menachot 62a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Eliezer Herzka, Michoel Weiner, Avrohom Neuberger, Dovid Arye Kaufman, and Asher Septimus, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2002), volume 59, page 62a. Rabbi Aha compared the listing of to a ruler who entered a province escorting many bands of robbers as captives.
Babylonian Talmud Ketubot 5b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman and Mendy Wachsman, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1999), volume 26, page 5b1. Rabbi Jacob bar Acha taught in the name of Rabbi Zorah that the command to Aaron in "at the door of the tent of meeting shall you abide day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord," served as a source for the law of seven days of mourning for the death of a relative (, shivah).
In 2005, WMNF moved into a new state of the art broadcast facility. The facility is located adjacent to the old studio which was demolished and now serves as a parking lot. The new facility is over with three broadcast studios, two production studios and a live performance studio named in memory of Mike Eisenstadt, longtime host of the Sunday Simcha, a Jewish music and public affairs show that still airs on Sundays at 1pm. The music library is capable of storing approximately 100,000 CDs, and has about 8,000 record albums.
Elucidated by Asher Dicker, Joseph Elias, and Dovid Katz; edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 49, page 107b4. The Gemara asked what they did to justify this punishment. The scholars of the academy of Rav Shila taught that they sought to build a tower, ascend to heaven, and cleave it with axes, that its waters might gush forth. In the academies of the Land of Israel, they laughed at this, arguing that if the generation of the dispersion had sought to do so, they should have built the tower on a mountain.
Elucidated by Michoel Weiner, Henoch Moshe Levin, Eliezer Herzka, Avrohom Neuberger, Nasanel Kasnett, Asher Dicker, Shlomo Fox-Ashrei, and Dovid Katz; edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr, and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 6, page 152a4. Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1997. Rabbi Levi and Rabbi Isaac disagreed about how to interpret the words of , "And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said: ‘It may be that Joseph will hate us.'" Rabbi Levi taught that the brothers feared this because he did not invite them to dine with him.
Rabbi Judah taught that one may use planks for the sukkah-covering, but Rabbi Meir taught that one may not. The Mishnah taught that it is valid to place a plank four handbreadths wide over the sukkah, provided that one does not sleep under it.Mishnah Sukkah 1:6, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, page 280; Babylonian Talmud Sukkah 14a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Succah, Volume 1, elucidated by Asher Dicker and Avrohom Neuberger, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 15, page 14a.
One said that God saw the atonement money that reports God required Moses to collect from the Israelites, while the other said that God saw the Temple. The Gemara concluded that the more likely view was that God saw the Temple, as can be read to say, "As it will be said on that day, 'in the mount where the Lord is seen.'"Babylonian Talmud Berakhot 62b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Yosef Widroff, Mendy Wachsman, Israel Schneider, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 2, page 62b3–5.
Barukh Binah’s family history is linked closely with modern Israeli history. His great grandfather, author Simcha Ben-Zion (Gutmann) was among the founders of Tel Aviv in 1909.Nurit Govrin, Gutmann, Simhah Alter, The Yivo Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe. His grandfather, Barukh Binah MBE (a survivor of the infamous Kishinev pogrom of 1903), served as the District Officer of Haifa and Samaria in the British mandatory government of Palestine and founded the newspaper Hadashot Mehaaretz (News from the Land), which later became the leading Israeli daily Haaretz.
Similarly, Rav Hisda taught that prohibited one from engaging in marital relations during the daytime, and Abaye explained that this was because one might observe something that should make one's spouse repulsive.Babylonian Talmud Niddah 17a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Niddah: Volume 1, elucidated by Hillel Danziger, Moshe Zev Einhorn, and Michoel Weiner, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1996), volume 71, page 17a. Tractate Kilayim in the Mishnah, Tosefta, and Jerusalem Talmud interpreted the laws of mixing plants, cloth, and animals in .
He was already famous in Telz as a great scholar and while he was still a very young man, Rabbi Simcha Zissel Ziv chose him as the head of his modern mussar yeshiva. After several years there, he returned to Telz and taught Talmud to the students in the group in which he himself had once studied. In 1883, Rabbi Eliezer Gordon relinquished the Kelm rabbinate and after a short period in Slabodka, became the rabbi in Telz. Through Rabbi Gordons's intercession, the twenty-nine-year-old Rabbi Oppenheim became the new Rabbi of Kelm.
Returning to Lithuania to complete his studies, Unterman was ordained as a rabbi by Rabbi Refael Shapiro, and by Rabbi Simcha Zelig Reguer, the Dayan of Brisk. He founded his own yeshiva in the town of Vishnyeva around 1910. Unterman served a variety of roles in the Lithuanian Jewish community until 1924, when he was selected to become the head rabbi of Liverpool. Unterman served in Liverpool for 22 years, becoming an important figure in the English Zionist movement and working to relieve the suffering of refugees in England during the Second World War.
Babylonian Talmud Bava Metzia 61b–62a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Mordechai Rabinovitch and Tzvi Horowitz, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr, volume 42, pages 61b–62a. A Baraita considered the case where two people were traveling on a journey, and one had a container of water; if both drank, they would both die, but if only one drank, then that one might reach civilization and survive. Ben Patura taught that it is better that both should drink and die, rather than that only one should drink and see the other die.
Schochet assumed his first position as rosh yeshiva of Tomchei Temimim in Lod, Israel, from 1972 to 1973. Afterward he returned to Canada and headed the kollel of Ner Israel in Toronto from 1974 to 1978. In 1977 he was tapped to succeed Rabbi Simcha Wasserman as rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon in Los Angeles, which had been given over, after the urging of the Lubavitcher Rebbe to open houses of study, to the directorship of Chabad. Along with Schochet, Chabad transferred a group of Lubavitcher students from New York to bolster the yeshiva.
It was during this 1903 visit to Odessa that Bialik first met Ira Jan, the painter whom he secretly loved, as revealed by Prof. Ziva Shamir in her book "A Track of Her Own". In the early 20th century, together with Ravnitzky, Simcha Ben Zion and Elhanan Levinsky, Bialik founded a Hebrew publishing house, Moriah, which issued Hebrew classics and school texts. He translated into Hebrew various European works, such as Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Schiller's Wilhelm Tell, the Miguel de Cervantes novel Don Quixote, and Heine's poems; and from Yiddish S. Ansky's The Dybbuk.
Plans for publication of the Vilna Shas were announced in 1834 by the owners of the Vilna-Horadna Press, Menachem Man Ream and Simcha Zimmel. Along with a copyright, a restriction was placed on publishing another Shas for twenty years.by Rabbi Akiva Eiger A rival edition of the Talmud, the Slavuta Shas, had been published almost three decades earlier, in 1807. The publishers of the Slavuta Talmud argued that the Vilna Edition infringed on their rabbinical court-ordered 25-year license to be the sole publishers of the text.
Rabbi Meir Simcha authored Ohr Somayach (or Ohr Sameiach) ("The delighted, or happy, light", a play on his name, possibly derived from Proverbs 13:9), a collection of novellae on Maimonides' Mishneh Torah. His approach is highly original, gathering material from the breadth of Jewish religious literature to approach difficult contradictions in Maimonides' main work of Jewish law. It was published during his lifetime and immediately became popular. Other works, novellae on the Talmud and responsa, did not have the same impact but are still used for reference.
Babylonian Talmud Yevamot 86b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Yevamos: Volume 3, elucidated by Yosef Davis, Dovid Kamenetsky, Moshe Zev Einhorn, Michoel Weiner, Israel Schneider, Nasanel Kasnett, and Mendy Wachsman, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr, Chaim Malinowitz, and Mordechai Marcus (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2005), volume 25, page 86b. Interpreting , the Rabbis taught in a Baraita that since the nation numbered about 600,000 men, the chiefs of thousands amounted to 600; those of hundreds, 6,000; those of fifties, 12,000; and those of tens, 60,000. Hence they taught that the number of officers in Israel totaled 78,600.
Elucidated by Eliezer Herzka and Mendy Wachsman; edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 63, page 91b3. Someone came and wrestled with him all night (1984 illustration by Jim Padgett, courtesy of Distant Shores Media/Sweet Publishing) Reading the words of "Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel," the Tanna Devei Eliyahu taught that one should read "Israel" as ish ra'ah El, "a man who sees God," for all of Jacob's actions were directed to God.Tanna Devei Eliyahu. Seder Eliyyahu Rabbah, chapter (27) 25. 10th century.

Translated by Jacob Neusner, page 869. Babylonian Talmud Tamid 32b.
Rabbi Abba distinguished the bull and single ram that required Aaron to bring for the Inauguration of the Tabernacle from the bull and two rams that required the High Priest to bring on Shavuot, and thus the Gemara concluded that one cannot reason by analogy from the requirements for the Inauguration to those of Shavuot.Babylonian Talmud Yoma 3a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Michoel Weiner, Yosef Widroff, Moshe Zev Einhorn, Israel Schneider, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 13, page 3a1. Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1998.
A Baraita taught that on Rosh Hashanah, God remembered each of Sarah, Rachel, and Hannah and decreed that they would bear children. Rabbi Eliezer found support for the Baraita from the parallel use of the word "remember" in , which says about Rachel, "And God remembered Rachel," and in , which calls Rosh Hashanah "a remembrance of the blast of the trumpet."Babylonian Talmud Rosh Hashanah 11a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Israel Schneider, Moshe Zev Einhorn, and Eliezer Herzka, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 18, page 11a1.
Rabbi Johanan deduced from that people who are haughty of spirit are as though they had denied the fundamental principle of God's existence. And Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak found in a prohibition for haughtiness of spirit. For Rabbi Abin said in the name of Rabbi Ilai that wherever it is stated "Beware, lest" (as it does in ) the reference is to a prohibition.Babylonian Talmud Sotah 4b–5a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Sotah, elucidated by Avrohom Neuberger and Abba Zvi Naiman, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 33a, pages 4b4–5a1.
Babylonian Talmud Megillah 21a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Megillah, elucidated by Gedaliah Zlotowitz and Hersh Goldwurm, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1991), volume 20, pages 21a3–4. Moses Destroys the Tables of the Ten Commandments (watercolor circa 1896–1902 by James Tissot) A Midrash explained why Moses broke the stone tablets. When the Israelites committed the sin of the Golden Calf, God sat in judgment to condemn them, as says, "Let Me alone, that I may destroy them," but God had not yet condemned them.
Similarly, the Mishnah derived from that a High Priest could offer sacrifices before he buried his dead, but he could not eat sacrificial meat. An ordinary priest in the early stages of mourning, however, could neither offer sacrifices nor eat sacrificial meat.Mishnah Horayot 3:5, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, page 695; Babylonian Talmud Horayot 12b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Avrohom Neuberger, Eliezer Herzka, Michoel Weiner, and Nasanel Kasnett, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2002), volume 54, page 12b.
The scales are those (thin discs) that are attached to the fish, and the fins are those (wings) by which it swims.Mishnah Chullin 3:7, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, page 772; Babylonian Talmud Chullin 59a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Eli Baruch Shulman and Eliezer Herzka, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 62, page 59a2–3. Reading “Whatever . . . chews the cud, among the beasts, that may you eat,” the Tosefta taught that whatever chews the cud has no upper teeth.
The first Rebbe of Zychlin, Rabbi Shmuel Abba, taught that one needs to not only repent but repent through the learning of Jewish holy subjects. Reb Zelig was a relative of the Sabba Kadisha of Strikov, Reb Fishel, going to visit him and taking his young son Shmuel Abba with him. Rabbi Shmuel Abba was known as the Ilui ("genius") of Luvitch and many scholars praised his depth and understanding. When Rabbi Shmuel Abba was older he learned at the Peshischa yeshiva which was led at that time by Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peshischa.
He and his wife Libby host OHEL residents at their home throughout the year, including the annual Nine Days siyum and barbecue. Dachs is also a regular performer at Camp HASC and Camp Simcha Special. He has sung at the Israel Day Concert in Central Park, a Hanukkah concert benefiting the CAHAL Special-Education Program, a Long Island benefit concert to raise tuition for a special child, and a yahrtzeit concert memorializing rabbi-singer Shlomo Carlebach. In 2009 he was honored by the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation for his efforts on behalf of that organization.
The Mishnah taught that one who sacrificed much and one who sacrificed little attained equal merit, so long as they directed their hearts to Heaven.Mishnah Menachot 13:11, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation. Translated by Jacob Neusner, page 765; Babylonian Talmud Menachot 110a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Yosef Davis, Eliezer Herzka, Abba Zvi Naiman, Zev Meisels, Noson Boruch Herzka, and Avrohom Neuberger, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2003), volume 60, page 110a3; see also Babylonian Talmud Berakhot 5b, in, e.g.
Rabbi Joshua ben Levi taught that required "two living clean birds" to be brought to purify the person afflicted with skin disease because the afflicted person did the work of a babbler in spreading evil tales, and therefore required that the afflicted person offer babbling birds as a sacrifice.Babylonian Talmud Arakhin 16b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Mendy Wachsman, Feivel Wahl, Yosef Davis, Henoch Moshe Levin, Israel Schneider, Yeshayahu Levy, Eliezer Herzka, Dovid Nachfolger, Eliezer Lachman, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 67, page 16b.
And Rabbi Ishmael read the words "of your possession" in to exclude the possession of Gentiles in the Land of Israel from house plagues.Sifra Mesora 155:1:6, in, e.g., Sifra: An Analytical Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, volume 2, pages 352–53; see also Mishnah Negaim 12:1, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, page 1004; Babylonian Talmud Gittin 82a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Yitzchok Isbee and Mordechai Kuber, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1993), volume 35, page 82a (citing a Baraita).
But Rabbi Eliezer the son of Rabbi Zadok and Rabbi Simeon of Kefar Acco both cited cases where local tradition reported the ruins of such houses, in Gaza and Galilee, respectively.Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 71a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Michoel Weiner and Asher Dicker, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1994), volume 48, page 71a. The Chaldees Destroy the Brazen Sea (watercolor circa 1896–1902 by James Tissot) A Midrash read the discussion of the house stricken with plague in as a prophecy.
Such is the opinion of Rabbi Yosef Qafih and others, based on the author's choice of Arabic words and which tend to show a dialect of Arabic used in Yemen, as well as the manuscript's place of discovery, viz. Yemen. However, this conclusion is not agreed upon by all, since many of the words brought down by Qafih to prove this point and which, according to him, are of a "pure" Yemeni dialect, are also Arabic words used in Iraq. Simcha Assaf, however, has presumed that the copyist was originally from Egypt.Qafih, Y. (2018), pp.
41 [13]–42 [14]. Simcha Assaf and Mordechai A. Friedman are in dispute over whether it was Rabbi Nathan or his Yemenite copyist who quotes from R. David. Three of the author's more extensive commentaries exist for the tractates Berakhot, Shevu'ot and Avot. Since the anonymous copyist makes use of other sources in the original work bequeathed by Rabbi Nathan, it is not uncommon for him to give one explanation for a word in one tractate, but in a different tractate give a different explanation for the same word.
Doni Zasloff grew up in Washington, DC and Philadelphia, and earned a degree in musical theater from Brandeis University. She began writing her own songs while teaching at her daughter's synagogue preschool, eventually forming the Mama Doni Band, which won the Simcha Award at the 2008 International Jewish Music Festival. Eric Lindberg grew up in Brooklyn but often visited his father's family in Georgia, where he developed an appreciation for bluegrass music. He began playing guitar at the age of 10, inspired by blues musicians like Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix.
Ultra-Orthodox organizations did not take part in the discussion over ethical issues raised by the raid. After Sholom Rubashkin's arrest, Orthodox rabbis showed their solidarity, but, according to the Forward, "most of the [ultra-]Orthodox rabbis who are supporting Rubashkin ... had never considered providing support to the immigrant workers. But Rabbi Shea Hecht, a Chabad rabbi ... said he wished he had done more in the raid′s immediate aftermath." Student leaders Gilah Kletenik and Simcha Gross organized a panel at Yeshiva University in response to this raid.
The event was organized by Yitzhak Zuckerman and Simcha Rotem. Although the Germans planned to destroy the ghetto within three days, the struggles lasted for four weeks and they didn't suppress them definitively until May 16, 1943, when Operation Commander Jürgen Stroop symbolically ended the explosion of the Great Synagogue in Warsaw. Yet, after many months, the remaining surviving Jews were attacking German patrols. Most of those who managed to escape from the ghetto became guerrillas, but were often shot or committed suicide to avoid capture. Many of them later fought alongside the Poles during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944.
The Scheinbergs had two more daughters, Chana and Zelda, and a son, Simcha, in New York. They also raised Rivky Kaufman, one of the seven orphans of Bessie's sister Freida, after the latter's sudden death in 1938. With the help and encouragement of his brother, Rabbi Shmuel Scheinberg, and his son-in-law, Rabbi Chaim Dov Altusky (Fruma Rochel's husband), Scheinberg opened the Torah Ore yeshiva in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn in 1960. The yeshiva opened with six students and grew steadily, enrolling many local Sephardi boys who were attracted by Scheinberg's Torah knowledge and warmth.
Babylonian Talmud Sukkah 5a–b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Succah, Volume 1, elucidated by Asher Dicker and Avrohom Neuberger, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1998), volume 15, pages 5a–b. Rabbi Eliezer noted that both (with regard to burning the Yom Kippur sin offerings) and (with regard to slaughtering the red cow) say "outside the camp." Rabbi Eliezer concluded that both actions had to be conducted outside the three camps of the Israelites, and in the time of the Temple in Jerusalem, both actions had to be conducted to the east of Jerusalem.
Babylonian Talmud Yoma 85b, in, e.g., Koren Talmud Bavli: Yoma, commentary by Adin Even-Israel (Steinsaltz), volume 9, pages 428–29. Rabbi Eleazar interpreted the words of "from all your sins shall you be clean before the Lord," to teach that the Day of Atonement expiates sins that are known only to God.Babylonian Talmud Keritot 25b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Eliahu Shulman, Dovid Arye Kaufman, Dovid Nachfolger, Menachem Goldberger, Michoel Weiner, Mendy Wachsman, Abba Zvi Naiman, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2004), volume 69, page 25b.
She was born in Ismailia, Egypt, to a Jewish family of Russian and Polish origin. Her parents were Leah Steinberg (the daughter of Yechiel Michal Steinberg, the founding family of Motza, a village on the outskirts of Jerusalem), and Simcha Ambash (an acronym for "I believe in complete faith", in Hebrew), an engineer by profession. Her parents had four children; her sister Suzy later married Israeli diplomat Abba Eban. Her parents came to Egypt from Jaffa, she was educated in French schools in Ismailia and Cairo and completed her BA in mathematics and physics from the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa.
Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Alter with his entourage Ger, or Gur (or Gerrer, when used as an adjective), is a Hasidic dynasty originating from Góra Kalwaria (), a small town in Poland. The founder of the dynasty was Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Alter (1798–1866), known as the Chiddushei HaRim, after his primary scholarly work by that title. He was a disciple of Simcha Bunim of Peshischa, thus making Ger part of the Peshischa Hasidic grouping. Before the Holocaust, followers of Ger were estimated to number in excess of 100,000, making it the largest and most influential Hasidic group in Poland.
Zalman Yoseph was the son of Simchah (c. 1830-1921), a Lithuanian born Jew who emigrated to Jerusalem where he was called "The Londoner" due to the time he spent living in London. Simcha was the son of Eliyahu Soloveitchik, an uncle to the famous scholar Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik. Salovey spent his early years in northern New Jersey and attended high school at Williamsville North High School in a suburb of Buffalo, New York before moving to suburban Los Angeles in 1975, when his father was appointed a professor at the University of Southern California.
Ps. 100. מזמור לתודה: „Todah ist sowohl Bekenntnis einer Dankverpflichtung, als eines Schuldbewusstseins Psalm 100 is traditionally omitted, as mentioned by Rashi's student Simcha ben Samuel and discussed in detail by 14th century writer David ben Joseph ben David Abduraham, on Shabbat and festivals because the Thanksgiving offering was not offered on these days in the Temple. Only communal offerings were brought on these days. It is also omitted on the day before Pesach and during Chol HaMoed Pesach because the Thanksgiving offering is composed of a loaf of bread, which is chametz that may not be consumed during Pesach.
Rabbi Jose taught that even if the offerer did not have any of these purposes at heart, the offering was valid, because it was a regulation of the court, since the intention was determined only by the priest who performed the service.Mishnah Zevachim 4:6, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, page 707; Babylonian Talmud Zevachim 46b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Moshe Einhorn, Henoch Moshe Levin, Michoel Weiner, Shlomo Fox-Ashrei, and Abba Zvi Naiman, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1995), volume 56, page 46b3.
Rabbi Simeon interpreted the term "peace-offering" (, shelamim) in and after to indicate that a person could bring the offering only when "whole" (, shalem), and thus not when one was in the first stage of mourning after the death of a close relative.Babylonian Talmud Zevachim 99b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Israel Schneider, Yosef Widroff, Mendy Wachsman, Dovid Katz, Zev Meisels, and Feivel Wahl, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1996), volume 57, page 99b; Sifra 28:1:3, in, e.g., Sifra: An Analytical Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner. Leviticus Rabbah 9:8, in, e.g.

Rabbi Eliezer taught that wherever an offerer (because of poverty) substituted for an animal sin- offering the offering of two birds (one of which was for a sin-offering and the other for a burnt-offering), the priest sacrificed the bird sin-offering before the bird burnt-offering (as instructs).
In the Supreme Court only one Jewish judge, Gad Frumkin, was serving at the time. Pinchas Rosen, the first Justice Minister decided not to continue Frumkin's tenure, and appointed five new justices, who were confirmed by the provisional government and provisional state council in July 1948. The five judges were appointed on a partisan basis: the court president Moshe Smoira and Yitzhak Olshan were identified with Mapai; Menachem Dunkelblum was associated with the General Zionists; Rabbi Simcha Assaf represented the religious faction; and Zalman Cheshin was mistakenly considered to be a revisionist, although in fact he belonged to the Haganah.
Book cover - Shtick Shift Shtick Shift: Jewish Humor in the 21st Century is a book by Rabbi Simcha Weinstein. The book presents an overview of the approach modern Jewish comedians are taking to their work - brutal, matter-of-fact, and unashamedly Jewish. To contrast the older approach with the newer approach, Weinstein gives examples of the comedy of previous generations of comedians such as Gertrude Berg, Woody Allen, Sid Caesar, and Mel Brooks. He then presents in-depth analysis of the modern crop of Jewish comedic performers, including Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Sacha Baron Cohen and Sarah Silverman.

In his youth, he studied Torah under his uncles, Rabbi Mordechai Hillman, av beth din of Pasvatin, and Rabbi Noach Yaakov Hillman of Pasval. After his marriage, he studied intensively by himself in the house of his father-in-law, Rabbi Yitzchak Hirsch in the town of Franks in Kurland. Rabbi Hillman received semicha from the famous Rabbis Eliyahu Dovid Teumim (who was the chief rabbi in Ponevezh and afterwards served in Jerusalem), Refael Shapiro of Volozhin, Meir Simcha HaKohen of Dvinsk and the Ridvaz of Slutsk.
After Egyptian infantry had successfully crossed the canal and captured the Bar-Lev Line on October 6, Israeli forces made several counterattacks in attempts to push the Egyptians back across the Suez Canal. The Israelis suffered heavy losses in these attacks, and by October 9 Egyptian forces in the Sinai had managed to destroy 500 Israeli tanks.October 9, 1973 conversation (8:20–8:40 AM) between Israeli Ambassador to the United States Simcha Dinitz, military attaché General Mordechai Gur, Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, and Peter Rodman.

The Mishnah taught that the rules of restitution also applied to the case of a deposit, as says: “In that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or has deceived his neighbor, or has found that which was lost and lies concerning it and swears falsely.” The custodian had to pay the principal and the fifth required by and bring a trespass offering as required by .
He became a disciple of Reb Simcha Bunim of Peshischa where he joined Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotzk and Rabbi Yosef of Yartshev; both were also born in Tomashov. When Rabbi Menachem Mendel became Rebbe in Kotzk, Reb Mordechai Yosef became his disciple there; then in 1839 became himself a rebbe in Tomaszów, moving subsequently to Izbica. His leading disciple was Rabbi Yehuda Leib Eiger (1816-1888The State Archive of Lublin: "Jewish Civil Registry of Lublin", 1888, Akt#: 46, Registration Type: death, Registration Year: 1888, Location: Lublin, Surname: Ejger, Given Name: Lejbus, Father: Szloma, Mother: Golda Rywka.

The Talmud Torah was founded in the 1860s by Rabbi Simcha Zissel Ziv, known as the Alter of Kelm (the Elder of Kelm), to strengthen the study of Musar in Lithuania. In 1872, Rabbi Ziv purchased a plot of land and erected a building for the Talmud Torah, which began as a primary school and soon became a secondary school. In 1876, the Talmud Torah was denounced to the authorities, who began to watch it closely and to hound it. Many traditional Jews in Kelm saw Rabbi Ziv as a "reformer," as his school supported unconventional prayer practices and an unconventional, musar-focused curriculum.
The landowners of Beit Namer used to harvest along a rope and allowed the poor to collect a corner from every row.Mishnah Peah 4:5, in, e.g., Jacob Neusner, translator, Mishnah, page 21.

The Mishnah defined “a defective cluster (, olelet)” within the meaning of and to mean any cluster that had neither a shoulder nor a dangling portion (but rather was entirely attached to the main stem).
The page numbering in the reprints still reflects the smaller volumes of the original printing. A ninth volume was published in 1992 by Rabbi Simcha Fishbane of Chicago, Illinois, who was given permission by the Israeli Bar-Ilan family, descendants of the author, to print 36 previously unpublished chapters on the laws of oaths (Hilkhot Nedarim, Yoreh Deah 203-239). These chapters were found in manuscripts by the author's own hand, along with various sermons that were published together in the same volume. Another, longer section of Yoreh Deah, which consists of 60 sections on laws connected to idolatry (123-182), is still lost.
At the age of 25, upon the death of his father in 1839, he was appointed as chief rabbi Of Pressburg and Rosh Yeshiva of the already famous Pressburg Yeshiva. He led the Pressburg community for some 33 years and became renowned as a brilliant Torah commentator and halakhist. His works are known as Ksav Sofer ("Writing of the Scribe"), Of his 10 children, Rabbi Simcha Bunim Sofer (author of Shevet Sofer), succeeded him as rabbi of Pressburg and rosh yeshiva after his death in 1871. Another son, Rabbi Shimon Sofer, founded a yeshiva in the Hungarian town of Eger (Erlau) continuing the heritage of his father and grandfather.
If so, then one would need to interpret the continuation of , "and the darkness He called night," to teach that "night" (, lailah) similarly must mean the advancing of darkness. But it is established (in Babylonian Talmud Berakhot 2bBabylonian Talmud Berakhot 2b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Berachos: Volume 1, elucidated by Gedaliah Zlotowitz, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1997), volume 1, page 2b.) that day continues until stars appear. The Gemara therefore concluded that when "God called the light" in , God summoned the light and appointed it for duty by day, and similarly God summoned the darkness and appointed it for duty by night.
Rabbi Eleazar interpreted the words, "Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and make them," in to teach that Scripture regards one who teaches Torah to a neighbor's child as though he himself had created the words of the Torah, as it is written.Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 99b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Sanhedrin: Volume 3, elucidated by Asher Dicker, Joseph Elias, and Dovid Katz, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1995), volume 49, page 99b. Rabbi Joshua ben Levi noted that the promise of that whoever studies the Torah prospers materially is written in the Torah, the Prophets (, Nevi'im), and the Writings (, Ketuvim).
Another son-in-law, Rabbi Binyomin Paler, became a maggid shiur and eventually rosh yeshiva in the yeshiva, until he left to form his own yeshiva in 1965. (Other sons-in-law of Rabbi Ehrenfeld include Rabbi Eliyahu Simcha Schustal (1923-2012), rosh yeshiva of Bais Binyomin in Stamford, Connecticut, and Rabbi Yisroel Meir Kagan, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Toras Chaim in Denver). Ehrenfeld also served as Rav in three Lower East Side synagogues, Anshei Marmarosh, Chevrah Eitz Chaim, and the Stropkover Chevrah, and was active in campaigns to strengthen Shabbat observance and family purity. He was known for his tremendous scholarship and scrupulous honesty.

The Baraita reasoned from this similar usage that just as the law prohibits kindling fire at home, so the law also prohibits kindling fire in the furtherance of criminal justice. And thus, since some executions require kindling a fire, the Baraita taught that the law prohibits executions on the Sabbath.Babylonian Talmud Yevamot 6b–7a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Eliezer Herzka, Michoel Weiner, and Hillel Danziger, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1999), volume 23, pages 6b2–7a1.

Similarly, the Gemara asked whether the words in "And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife" did not convey that Eleazar's son Phinehas descended from Jethro, who fattened (piteim) calves for idol worship. The Gemara then provided an alternative explanation: could mean that Phinehas descended from Joseph, who conquered (pitpeit) his passions (resisting Potiphar's wife, as reported in ). But the Gemara asked, did not the tribes sneer at Phinehas andSee Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 82b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Michoel Weiner and Asher Dicker, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 48, page 82b, and Sotah 43a, in, e.g.
The Egyptians set the coffin in the Nile so that its waters would be blessed. Moses went to the bank of the Nile and called to Joseph that the time had arrived for God to deliver the Israelites, and the oath that Joseph had imposed upon the children of Israel in had reached its time of fulfillment. Moses called on Joseph to show himself, and Joseph's coffin immediately rose to the surface of the water.Babylonian Talmud Sotah 13a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Avrohom Neuberger and Abba Zvi Naiman, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2000), volume 33a, page 13a.
The Scheinbergs, their eldest daughter Fruma Rochel and her family, their son Simcha and his family, and over 20 of Scheinberg's students moved into their new apartments in Kiryat Mattersdorf in May 1965. Scheinberg reestablished the Torah Ore yeshiva in the Diskin Orphanage building in Jerusalem's Givat Shaul neighborhood. When the Six-Day War broke out in June 1967 and many American tourists headed home, Scheinberg encouraged his students to stay, and none of the American students at Torah Ore left the yeshiva. During the war, Scheinberg showed his complete devotion to his students, giving them encouragement and sleeping together with them in the bomb shelter.
The curses in Leviticus are considered more severe than those in Deuteronomy, for "the former [were] spoken by Moses in the name of God and the latter by Moses on his own initiative; the former is worded in first person and addressed to the Jews in plural while the latter is in first-person and addressed in singular form".Bar-Ilan University, Daf Parashat Hashavua (Study Sheet on the Weekly Torah Portion); see also Babylonian Talmud Megillah 31b (Sasanian Empire, 6th century), in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Megillah, elucidated by Gedaliah Zlotowitz and Hersh Goldwurm, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1991), volume 20, page 31b.

The Gemara also cited for a Baraita that taught that one is obligated to try to save another whom one sees drowning in a river, or being dragged away by a wild animal, or being attacked by bandits. The Gemara further taught that the verse “Do not stand by the blood of another” teaches that one must even hire others to help rescue a person one sees to be jeopardy, and one transgresses a prohibition if one does not do so.Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 73a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Michoel Weiner and Asher Dicker, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 48, pages 73a1–3.
Reading the words of , "You shall not take vengeance or bear any grudge against the sons of your own people," the Jerusalem Talmud asked what would be a practical illustration.

Meir Simcha was born in Butrimonys (), Lithuania, to Samson Kalonymus, a local wealthy merchant. According to family tradition, his later success in Torah study was attributed to two blessings his parents had received from local rabbis before his birth. He received his education locally, and managed to evade the regular roundups of Jewish boys that were being held as a result of the Cantonist decrees that had been in effect since 1827. After marrying in 1860, at age 17, he settled in Białystok, Poland, where he was supported by his wife, who opened a business to support him while he continued his Talmudic studies.
Binah features articles appealing to Jewish women, including family matters, health, recipes, short stories and serialized novels. It is known for its full-color, glossy pages and its coverage of topics not usually discussed in mainstream Orthodox Jewish publications, such as divorce, single-parenting, home budgeting, and medical conditions. Its articles often create a buzz in Orthodox circles and online blogs. For example, a 2012 article on summer camp security led to a summer-camp inspection by New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind and New York State Senate hopeful Simcha Felder (he was elected to office a few months later) at Camp Agudah in upstate New York.
The Gemara noted the apparently superfluous "say to them" in and reported an interpretation that the language meant that adult Kohanim must warn their children away from becoming contaminated by contact with a corpse. But then the Gemara stated that the correct interpretation was that the language meant to warn adults to avoid contaminating the children through their own contact.Babylonian Talmud Yevamot 114a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Yevamos: Volume 3, elucidated by Yosef Davis, Dovid Kamenetsky, Moshe Zev Einhorn, Michoel Weiner, Israel Schneider, Nasanel Kasnett, and Mendy Wachsman, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr, Chaim Malinowitz, and Mordechai Marcus (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2005), volume 25, page 114a.

The Gemara considered whether the words of "Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be sacred," which apply to avoiding the foods prohibited in could also teach that with regard to every act that the Torah prohibits, there is in addition a positive commandment of sanctity to avoid that act. The Gemara objected that if this were so, then every single prohibition in the entire Torah would contain both a positive commandment and a prohibition, and thus rejected this reasoning.
Katz is most well known for his parodies, but he created more traditional klezmer music as well. His songs have been compiled onto CDs, including Mish Mosh, The Most Mishige, Mickey Katz Greatest Shticks, and Simcha Time: Music for Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, and Brisses. Katz played with many musicians throughout the years, but he initially performed his parodies with Mannie Klein on trumpet, Sammy Weiss on drums, Benny Gill on violin, Si Zentner on trombone, and Wally Wechsler on piano. Al Sack, the man who created the music for Katz's first two parodies, assembled these players for Katz and then helped him get Nat Farber to arrange the music.

Simcha Bunim of Peshischa, successor to The Holy Jew, who continued the Peshischa School of Hasidism In 1812, a schism occurred between the Seer of Lublin and his prime disciple, the Holy Jew of Przysucha (Peshischa in Yiddish), due to both personal and doctrinal disagreements. The Seer adopted a populist approach, centered on the Righteous' theurgical functions to draw the masses. He was famous for his lavish, enthusiastic conduct during prayer and worship, and extremely charismatic demeanour. He stressed that as tzaddiq, his mission was to influence the common folk by absorbing Divine Light and satisfying their material needs, thus converting them to his cause and elating them.
And the Sages honored the memory of the family that made the Temple incense, for they never allowed a bride of their house to go about perfumed. In both cases, the families did so to fulfill the command of that "you shall be clear before the Lord and before Israel" — meaning that people should act so as to avoid even the appearance of transgression.Babylonian Talmud Yoma 38a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Michoel Weiner, Yosef Widroff, Moshe Zev Einhorn, Israel Schneider, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1998), volume 13, page 38a.
Born in Vodislav, Poland in either 1765 or 1767 to a wealthy German Orthodox Jewish family. His father Tzvi Hersh Bonhardt was a German merchant and rabbi, who, in his early years moved to Poland, where he became a well-known maggid and intellectual, authoring several rabbinic works and studying medieval Jewish philosophy. Thus many of Simcha Bunim's rationalistic ideals were greatly influenced by his father, and grandfather, Judah Leib Bonhardt who could both be considered traditional rational pietists. His mother, Sarah Sirkin was the scion of a highly distinguished Polish-Ukrainian rabbinic family and was known to be very familiar with Talmudic law.
At age five, a group of important guests came to his father's home and despite his age, his father asked him to give a speech on the commandment of Hospitality. The young Simcha Bunim, went out to prepare bedding and cups for the ritualistic handwashing, he then brought the guests to the room he prepared and stated "this is the best way to expound on the commandment of Hospitality". At age ten, he began studying at his local cheder, and in his teenage years, he was sent to Mattersburg, Austria, to learn at the Yeshiva of Jeremiah Mattersdorf. He later moved to Nikolsburg, Czechia, where he learnt under Mordecai Benet.
In April 2006, New York State Senator Simcha Felder accused Esposito of using inappropriate language when Esposito attempted to quell individuals who entered a police station house during a riot in Borough Park. Felder indicated that he personally heard the chief say, "Get the fucking Jews out of here."Topic Galleries However, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, which investigates police misconduct, later found the accusation against Esposito unsubstantiated, but did reprimand Chief Esposito for using profanity. When subsequently asked to comment on the Review Board's finding, Felder's office stated that Felder had "no comment" about the incident and that he "wants to put the matter behind him".

One question that remained after the election results came in was which caucus Democratic Senator Simcha Felder would join. Felder, since his first election in 2012, has been a member of the Republican majority, in order to deliver results to his heavily Jewish district, particularly education funding for yeshivas. After the dissolution of the Independent Democratic Conference and the rejoining of its seven members into the mainline caucus, Felder remained with the Republicans as the decisive vote for control. Felder maintained throughout his tenure that he would rejoin the Democrats if doing so would benefit his district, but after the overwhelming Democratic win in 2018, the Democratic conference disallowed him from joining the new majority.

Rabbi Abba replied that Rabbi Joḥanan interpreted the words of , "Blessed shall you be in the city," to mean that the privy, not the synagogue, would be near at hand. Rabbi Johanan's interpretation was in accordance with his opinion that one receives reward for walking (some distance) to a synagogue. Rabbi Johanan interpreted the words, "And blessed shall you be in the field," to mean that your estate would be divided into three equal portions of cereals, olives, and vines.Babylonian Talmud Bava Metzia 107a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Bava Metzia: Volume 3, elucidated by Shlomo Fox- Ashrei, Nasanel Kasnett, Abba Zvi Naiman, Yosef Davis, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1994), volume 43, page 107a.
The Dushinsky Community considers itself a continuation of the Chasam Sofer dynasty, not by genealogy, but rather by school of thought. The founder of the Dushinsky dynasty was rabbi Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky (1865–1948) who was a disciple of rabbi Simcha Bunim Sofer (the Shevet Sofer), the son of the Ksav Sofer at the Pressburg Yeshiva. The Dushinsky dynasty has been more integrated into the Chassidic community with many of their customs derived from Nusach Sefard, but still remains true to the teachings of the Chasam Sofer. This is mainly due to rabbi Yosef Tzvi's appointment as Chief Rabbi of the Edah HaChareidis and the Dushinsky alignment with the teachings of rabbi Joel Teitelbaum of Satmar.
Among his disciples were such Hasidic luminaries as Yaakov Yitzchak Rabinowicz ("the Holy Jew"), Simcha Bunim of Peshischa, Meir of Apta, David of Lelov, Moshe Teitelbaum, Tzvi Elimelech of Dinov, Naftali Zvi of Ropshitz, and Shalom Rokeach of Belz. Horowitz also gained a reputation as a miracle-worker who could accomplish the tikkun, or repair of the soul, of those who sought his assistance and guidance. During his stay in Lublin, Horowitz was opposed by a prominent mitnaged rabbi, Azriel Horowitz. Horowitz was a descendant of Isaiah Horowitz, a prominent rabbi and mystic, and his maternal grandfather, Yaakov Koppel Likover, also a prominent rabbi and scholar, as well as a contemporary of the Ba'al Shem Tov.
Recalling a tradition in the European shtetl for families to sponsor a meal for the poor on the day of their child's wedding, Masbia encourages couples and their parents to sponsor meals - at $6 a plate - at Masbia on the night before or the night of their wedding. Several Rebbes from Boro Park and Williamsburg have sponsored and also hosted the meal for the poor at Masbia on the night before their child's wedding, including the Kosover Rebbe, the Satmar Rebbe, the Bobover Rebbe, the Spinker Rebbe, and the Faltishaner Rebbe; the latter was joined by his son, the groom."Sharing Your Good Fortune With the Less Fortunate".

The Naked Archaeologist was a television show produced for VisionTV in Canada and History International in the US, that was hosted and prepared by the Emmy Award–winning journalist Simcha Jacobovici together with Avri Gilad. The show ultimately reviews Biblical stories, then tries to find proof for them by exploring the Holy Land looking for archaeological evidence, personal inferences, deductions, and interviews with scholars and experts. Subsequent to its original run on VisionTV, it was picked up in the U.S. by The History Channel and its sister network, History International. The third and final season began airing on Vision TV on March 22, 2010 and on History International on November 8, 2010.
The Rabbis taught in a Baraita that when the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, the Levitical camp established in served as the place of refuge to which manslayers could flee.Babylonian Talmud Makkot 12b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Makkos, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, revised and enlarged edition, 2001), volume 50, page 12b. Hillel (sculpture at the Knesset Menorah, Jerusalem) Building upon the prohibition of approaching the holy place in , the Gemara taught that a person who unwittingly entered the Temple court without atonement was liable to bring a sin-offering, but a person who entered deliberately incurred the penalty of being cut off from the Jewish people, or karet.
Babylonian Talmud Arakhin 11b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Mendy Wachsman, Feivel Wahl, Yosef Davis, Henoch Moshe Levin, Israel Schneider, Yeshayahu Levy, Eliezer Herzka, Dovid Nachfolger, Eliezer Lachman, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2004), volume 67, page 11b. A Midrash taught that had Reuben not disgraced himself by his conduct with Bilhah in , his descendants would have been worthy of assuming the service of the Levites, for ordinary Levites came to replace firstborn Israelites, as says, "And you shall take the Levites for Me, even the Lord, instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel."Numbers Rabbah 6:2, in, e.g.
Babylonian Talmud Moed Katan 28a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Moed Katan, elucidated by Gedaliah Zlotowitz, Michoel Weiner, Noson Dovid Rabinowitch, and Yosef Widroff, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1999), volume 21, page 28a. Reading , “Cut not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites,” Rabbi Abba bar Aibu noted that it would have been enough for the text to mention the family of Kohath, and asked why also mentions the whole tribe. Rabbi Abba bar Aibu explained that God (in the words of ), “declar[es] the end from the beginning,” and provides beforehand for things that have not yet occurred.
Babylonian Talmud Chagigah 14a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Dovid Kamenetsky, Henoch Levin, Feivel Wahl, Israel Schneider, Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1999), volume 22, page 14a2. The Mishnah taught that there are cases where two things can be rendered impure in succession by a corpse, one of those things being rendered impure with a seven-day impurity and the other thing being rendered impure with an impurity lasting until the evening. There are cases where three things can be rendered impure in succession by a corpse, two of those things being rendered impure with a seven-day impurity and the remaining thing with an impurity lasting until the evening.
Simcha Dinitz (, born 23 June 1929, died 23 September 2003) was an Israeli statesman and politician. He served as Director General of the Prime Minister's office and political advisor to Prime Minister Golda Meir from 1969–1973, before becoming the Israeli Ambassador to the United States from 1973 to 1979. He had an overlapping appointment as the Non resident Ambassador to the Bahamas During the 1980s he was elected to the Knesset. Dinitz played a major role in coordinating the weapons shipments to Israel received from the U.S. during the Yom Kippur War airlift in 1973, and was a member of the Israeli delegation during the Camp David peace talks with Egypt.
Alternatively, the school of Rabbi Ishmael taught in a Baraita that in the word for "in the midst" (, be-tokh) appears, and it also appears in "And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea." Just as in the word "in the midst" (, be-tokh) implies a path, as says, "And the waters were a wall unto them," so here too in there was a path (for Moses through the cloud).Babylonian Talmud Yoma 4b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Michoel Weiner, Yosef Widroff, Moshe Zev Einhorn, Israel Schneider, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1998), volume 13, page 4b3.
She was one of the leaders of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and one of only 34 fighters to survive the war. After leading her group of surviving fighters through the sewers of Warsaw with the aid of Simcha "Kazik" Rotem in the final days of the ghetto uprising (on May 10, 1943), she continued her resistance activities in the rest of Warsaw outside the ghetto. She took part in the Polish Warsaw Uprising in 1944, fought in the units of the Armia Ludowa. Though the Jewish forces would be devastated by the Germans, Lubetkin and several other survivors would survive by taking refuge in a hospital that was willing to hide them.
But mentions the mother first to teach that one should honor both parents equally.Mishnah Keritot 6:9 (Land of Israel, circa 200 CE), in, e.g., Jacob Neusner, translator, The Mishnah: A New Translation (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1988), pages 850–51; Babylonian Talmud Keritot 28a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Eliahu Shulman, Dovid Arye Kaufman, Dovid Nachfolger, Menachem Goldberger, Michoel Weiner, Mendy Wachsman, Abba Zvi Naiman, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2004), volume 69, page 28a; see also Genesis Rabbah 1:15 (Land of Israel, 5th century), in, e.g., Harry Freedman and Maurice Simon, translators, Midrash Rabbah: Genesis (London: Soncino Press, 1939), volume 1, pages 13–14.
The Mishnah taught that the employer of a resident alien was subject to the law of that "in the same day you shall give him his hire" (as refers to the stranger), but not to the law of that "the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with you all night until the morning." Abaye taught that the rule that a community should mark graves may be derived from , "And put not a stumbling-block before the blind."Babylonian Talmud Moed Katan 5a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Gedaliah Zlotowitz, Michoel Weiner, Noson Dovid Rabinowitch, and Yosef Widroff, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1999), volume 21, page 5a.

They also shared a love for the works of Maimonides. In 1906, a certain Shlomo Friedlander claimed to have discovered and then published two tractates of the Jerusalem Talmud that had been considered to have been lost for hundreds of years. Rabbi Meir Simcha (as well as the Rogatchover Gaon, the Gerer Rebbe, Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glasner of Klausenburg, the Dor Revi'i, and Rabbi Dr Yissachar Dov Ritter of Rotterdam) was one of the prominent rabbis who discovered that the work was a very clever forgery, and denounced it as such. In Dvinsk, he received visitors from the whole region, and was frequently consulted on issues affecting the community at large, including Poland and Lithuania.
For God was to bring two doves forth from the Moabites and the Ammonites — Ruth the Moabitess and Naamah the Ammonitess.Babylonian Talmud Bava Kamma 38a–b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Bava Kamma: Volume 2, elucidated by Avrohom Neuberger, Reuvein Dowek, Eliezer Herzka, Asher Dicker, Mendy Wachsman, Nasanel Kasnett, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2001), volume 39, pages 38a4–b1. Even though in and , God forbade the Israelites from occupying the territory of Ammon and Moab, Rav Papa taught that the land of Ammon and Moab that Sihon conquered (as reported in ) became purified for acquisition by the Israelites through Sihon's occupation of it (as discussed in ).
Babylonian Talmud Temurah 6a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Temurah, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Eliezer Herzka, Avrohom Neuberger, Eliezer Lachman, Mendy Wachsman, Hillel Danziger, Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2004), volume 68, pages 6a3–4. The Gemara noted that includes a superfluous term "by reaping" and reasoned that this must teach that the obligation to leave for the poor applies to crops that the owner uproots as well as to crops that the owner cuts. And the Gemara reasoned that the superfluous words "When you reap" in teach that the obligation also extends to one who picks a crop by hand.Babylonian Talmud Chullin 137a, in, e.g.
The Gemara deduced from the command of , "you shall not bring an abomination into your house, lest you be a cursed thing like it," that whatever one might bring into being out of an idolatrous thing would have the same cursed status.Babylonian Talmud Kiddushin 58a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Kiddushin: Volume 2, elucidated by David Fohrman, Dovid Kamenetsky, and Michoel Weiner, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2001), volume 37, page 58a. Rabbi Johanan in the name of Rabbi Simeon ben Yohai noted the word "abomination" in common in both and and deduced that people who are haughty of spirit are as though they worshiped idols.
From this restriction of a High Priest, the Gemara inferred that the High Priest would deport himself as a person with skin disease during a festival. And the Gemara continued to teach that a mourner is forbidden to cut his hair, because since ordained for the sons of Aaron: "Let not the hair of your heads go loose" (after the death of their brothers Nadab and Abihu), we infer that cutting hair is forbidden for everybody else (during mourning), as well.Babylonian Talmud Moed Katan 14b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Gedaliah Zlotowitz, Michoel Weiner, Noson Dovid Rabinowitch, and Yosef Widroff, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 21, page 14b.
Rabbi Judah taught that the words of "And it came to pass on the eighth day," begin the second major topic of the book of Leviticus.Babylonian Talmud Gittin 60a (Babylonia, 6th century), in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Yitzchok Isbee and Mordechai Kuber, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1993), volume 35, page 60a3 and note 31. A Midrash taught that the account that begins with “And it came to pass on the eighth day,” should have appeared at the beginning of the Book of Leviticus (as it relates the Inauguration of the Tabernacle service), but that it appears where it does illustrates the proposition that the Torah does not follow a chronological order.
It was produced by Sandi Simcha DuBowski in association with Channel 4 Television (UK), ZDF (Germany), Arte (France), MTV-Logo (US), The Sundance Documentary Fund and SBS. While the film reveals homophobia and persecution in the Muslim world, Sharma has stated that the purpose of the film is not to vilify Islam. In an early interview he said: A Jihad for Love had a theatrical release across 33 cities in the continental United States and a theatrical release by Mongrel Media in Canada limited to Toronto and Vancouver. Variety Magazine said in 2008, "A May theatrical run is planned, starting at Gotham's IFC Center" The film ran for four weeks at New York theatre, the IFC.

Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2010. In , God designated for Aaron and the priests “the heave offering (, terumat) of their gift.” The Mishnah taught that a generous person would give one part out of forty.
The Holy Jew's "Przysucha School" was continued by his successor Simcha Bunim, and especially the reclusive, morose Menachem Mendel of Kotzk. The most controversial fourth- generation tzaddiq was the Podolia-based Nachman of Breslov, who denounced his peers for becoming too institutionalized, much like the old establishment their predecessors challenged decades before, and espoused an anti- rationalist, pessimistic spiritual teaching, very different from the prevalent stress on joy. Napoleon's Invasion of Russia in 1812 promised to bring the first Jewish emancipation to the Pale of Settlement. Hasidic Rebbes in Poland and Russia were divided on the issue, between supporting western freedom from imperial anti-Semitic decrees, to regarding Napoleon as the opening to heresy and agnosticism.
Ehrenfeld's son, Rabbi Akiva Ehrenfeld, who was his representative in supervising the construction and sale of the apartments, encouraged Scheinberg to relocate his yeshiva to Jerusalem from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn by offering attractive terms for apartments and land for the yeshiva. The Scheinbergs, their daughter Fruma Rochel and her family, their son Simcha and his family, and over 20 of Scheinberg's students moved into their new homes in May 1965. Rabbi Asa Wittow, a married student who had learned under Scheinberg since 1960 and who also served as his driver in New York, made aliyah with him and moved into the same apartment building. Scheinberg first established the Torah Ore yeshiva in the Diskin Orphanage building in Jerusalem's Givat Shaul neighborhood.
The Soloveitchik family includes many significant rabbinical forebears, most notably Rabbi Simcha Rappaport, Rabbi Chaim Volozhiner, famed Talmudist and founder of the Volozhin yeshiva. Rabbi Chaim Volozhiner was a student of the Vilna Gaon, and thus some students of Brisk talk of a line of tradition extending "from Moses at Sinai, to Joshua, to the Elders ... to the Vilna Gaon, to Rabbi Chaim Volozhiner, and then to the Soloveitchik dynasty". The Soloveitchik dynasty began with Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik known as the Beis HaLevi, as he was the first rabbi of Brisk surnamed Soloveitchik. More significantly, the "Brisker style" described below can already be found to some degree in the Beis HaLevi's works, which is not the case for earlier ancestors.
Silver asked Abba Shaul a difficult question in the obscure Talmudic order of Tohorot (laws of ritual purity). When Abba Shaul gave his answer, Silver remarked in astonishment that he had asked the same question of Rabbi Meir Simcha of Dvinsk (author of Ohr Sameach and Meschech Chochma) 40 years earlier, and that that sage had given the same answer. Abba Shaul later confided to Attiya that he had had a second answer to the question as well, but since the first answer secured the donation, he didn't want to show off. In 1948, Abba Shaul married Hadassah, the daughter of Rabbi Yosef Shaharbani, a Torah scholar and son of the kabbalist Rabbi Yehoshua Shaharbani, who was a student of the Ben Ish Chai.
Issi ben Aqabiah, however, said that Scripture speaks of anybody who enters the field, not just workers. The Jerusalem Talmud explained that says, "But you shall not wave a sickle in your neighbor’s standing grain," to teach that one has the right to eat from the crop only during the time that the sickle is being waved, that is, harvest time.Jerusalem Talmud Maasrot 19a (2:4), in, e.g., Talmud Yerushalmi: Tractate Maasros, elucidated by Michoel Weiner, Abba Zvi Naiman, David Azar, Gershon Hoffman, Mordechai Smilowitz, Avrohom Neuberger, and Zev Meisels, edited by Chaim Malinowitz, Yisroel Simcha Schorr, and Mordechai Marcus (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2007), volume 9, pages 19a1–2. In the Babylonian Talmud, however, Rav objected that Issi’s view would not let any farmer remain in business.
Simcha Blass was born in Warsaw, Poland, which was then part of the Russian Empire, to an Orthodox Jewish family. He was active in the Jewish self-defense units organized in Warsaw to defend Jews during the end of World War I. His engineering studies in Warsaw were interrupted by the Polish-Soviet War and completed after that war. During the war, he was recruited to the Polish Army, where he invented for the Polish Air Force a meteorological appliance, measuring the intensity and direction of winds."Water in Strife and Action", part 1 (pages 41-67) Later, he invented, patented and developed an operative wheat planting machine, which was tested and sold in Europe and in Palestine (1927), but proved uneconomical.
In the early 1930s, a farmer drew his attention to a big tree, growing in his backyard "without water". After digging below the apparently dry surface, Simcha Blass discovered why: water from a leaking coupling was causing a small wet area on the surface, while an expanding onion-shaped area of underground water was reaching the roots of this particular tree—and not the others. This sight of tiny drops penetrating the soil causing the growth of a giant tree provided the catalyst for Blass's invention. History of micro-irrigation in landscape turf The drip irrigation concept was born and experiments that followed led Blass to create an irrigation device that used friction and water pressure loss to leak drops of water at regular intervals.
Born around 1600 in Pinsk, Poland, his father Isaac Bonems was a renowned rabbi in Pinsk, a descendant of Israel Isserlein, and a close relative of Shabbatai HaKohen. His mother Leah Meisels was the maternal granddaughter of Moses Isserles, and the daughter of Simcha Bunim Meisels, the founder of the Polish branch of the Meisels family. In his early years Moses Bonems married the daughter of Shmuel Eidels, with whom he had six children with. He briefly served as a rabbi in Liuboml, later moving to Lublin, where he published a novellæ on the Talmud, called "Ḥiddushe Halakot Mahdura Batra" (Lublin, 1670), the work was a revised edition of his father-in-law's work of the same name, and was widely received.

Elucidated by Gershon Hoffman, Chaim Ochs, Mordechai Weiskopf, and Aharon Meir Goldstein; edited by Chaim Malinowitz, Yisroel Simcha Schorr, and Mordechai Marcus, volume 25, page 12a1. Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2014. . Abraham Prepared To Sacrifice His Son Isaac (woodcut by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld from the 1860 Bible in Pictures) Reading “And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind (, ahar) him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns,” the Jerusalem Talmud asked what was the meaning of “behind (, ahar)” which the Jerusalem Talmud read as “after.” Rabbi Judah the son of Rabbi Simon taught that it meant that Abraham saw prophetically that after generations, his descendants would be caught up in sins and entrapped in troubles.
4, in Harry Freedman, translator, Encyclopedia of Biblical Interpretation (New York: American Biblical Encyclopedia Society, 1953), volume 1, page 1. It was taught in a Baraita that King Ptolemy brought together 72 elders, placed them in 72 separate rooms without telling them why, and directed each of them to translate the Torah. God then prompted each one of them and they all conceived the same idea and wrote for , "God created in the beginning" (instead of, "In the beginning, God created," to prevent readers from reading into the text two creating powers, "In the beginning" and "God").Babylonian Talmud Megillah 9a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Megillah, elucidated by Gedaliah Zlotowitz and Hersh Goldwurm, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1991), volume 20, page 9a2.

Abram Guarding His Sacrifice (watercolor circa 1896–1902 by James Tissot) Reading , “And he said: ‘O Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?’” Rabbi Hama bar Hanina taught that Abraham was not complaining, but asked God through what merit Abraham would inherit the land. God replied that Abraham and his descendants would merit the land through the atoning sacrifices that God would institute for Abraham’s descendants, as indicated by the next verse, in which God said, “Take Me a heifer of three years old . . . .”Genesis Rabbah 44:14, in, e.g.
The descendants of Joel Sirkis-Jaffe of Kraków served prominent and important rabbinic positions all over Poland and Ukraine. His paternal great-grandson, Ariah Judah Leib Sirkin (1652-1745) was a prominent Ukrainian rabbi and father of Betzalel HaLevi of Zhovkva (1710-1802) and great- grandfather of the Hasidic master, Simcha Bunim of Peshischa (1765-1827). The descendants of Mordecai Jaffe of Prague spread out throughout Europe. His descendants who emigrated to Western Europe became successful businessmen, politicians, scientists and academics such as, Theodor Julius Jaffé (1823-1898), Philipp Jaffé (1819-1870), Sir Otto Jaffe (1846-1929), Daniel Joseph Jaffé (1876-1921), Abraham Z. Joffe (1909–2000), Avraham Yoffe (1913-1983), Joel Joffe, Baron Joffe (1932-2017) and Josef Joffe (b. 1944).
It is also a primary text referenced in understanding the Halakha as presented in the Arba'ah Turim and Shulchan Aruch; and Mishneh Torah is thus one of the first post-Talmudic sources consulted when investigating a question of Jewish law. See Yeshiva #Talmud study; Yeshiva #Jewish law; Halakha #Codes of Jewish law. Prominent recent authorities who have written commentaries on the work include Rabbis Meir Simcha of Dvinsk (Ohr Somayach), Chaim Soloveitchik (Chiddushei Rabbeinu Chaim), Yitzchok Isaac Krasilschikov (Tevunah), Isser Zalman Meltzer (Even HaEzel), and, more recently, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (Hadran al HaRambam), Elazar Shach (Avi Ezri), Nahum Rabinovitch (Yad Peshuta), and Rabbi Yosef Kapach. See also: List of commentaries on Mishneh Torah Many scholarly speeches (e. g.
Later that year an article describing the find was published in volume 29 of Atiqot, the journal of the Israel Antiquities Authority. A controversial documentary film, The Lost Tomb of Jesus, was produced in 2007 by director James Cameron and investigative journalist Simcha Jacobovici, and was released in conjunction with a book by Jacobovici and Charles Pellegrino titled The Jesus Family Tomb. The book and film make the case that the Talpiot Tomb was the burial place of Jesus of Nazareth, members of his extended family, and several other figures from the New Testament—and, by inference, that Jesus had not risen from the dead as the New Testament describes. This conclusion is rejected by archaeologists, theologians, and linguistic and biblical scholars.
The Lost Tomb of Jesus is a documentary co-produced and first broadcast on the Discovery Channel and Vision TV in Canada on March 4, 2007, covering the discovery of the Talpiot Tomb. It was directed by Canadian documentary and film maker Simcha Jacobovici and produced by Felix Golubev and Ric Esther Bienstock, while James Cameron served as executive producer. (Jacobovici and Cameron had previously created The Exodus Decoded.) The film was released in conjunction with a book about the same subject, The Jesus Family Tomb, issued in late February 2007 and co-authored by Jacobovici and Charles R. Pellegrino. The documentary and the book's claims have been rejected by many leading experts within the archaeological and theological fields, as well as among linguistic and biblical scholars.
Schorr had four sons and four daughters. His four sons and their major works are: Rabbi Yitzchok Meir Schorr - Magid Shiur In Torah V'daas and Rav of the Alumni Minyan of Torah V'daas, editor of Migdal Ohr on the life of Rabbi Schorr, published in Brooklyn (2002).

Rebbe Nachman was born on April 4, 1772 (Rosh Chodesh of Nisan) in the town of Międzybóż, which is in the Podolia region of the then Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and which is now in Ukraine. In the same year, the First Partition of Poland was agreed on, and the region and surrounding ones were taken over by the Russian Empire. Rebbe Nachman's mother, Feiga, was the daughter of Adil (also spelled Udel), daughter of the Baal Shem Tov, founder of Hasidic Judaism. His father Simcha was the son of Rabbi Nachman of Horodenka (Gorodenka), who was a seventh- generation lineal descendant of Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel and one of the Baal Shem Tov's disciples, after whom Rebbe Nachman was named.
Elucidated by Zev Dickstein, Chaim Ochs, Gershon Hoffman, Mendy Wachsman, Abba Zvi Naiman, and Avrohom Neuberger; edited by Chaim Malinowitz, Yisroel Simcha Schorr, and Mordechai Marcus, volume 18, page 2a1. Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2011. . The Building of Noah's Ark (16th- century painting by Jacopo Bassano) The Gemara read the words, "and to a cubit shall you finish it upward," in to ensure that thus would it stand firm (with the sides of the roof sloping, so that the rain would fall off it). A Tanna read the words, "with lower, second, and third stories shall you make it," in to teach that the bottom story was for the dung, the middle for the animals, and the top for Noah's family.
Rav Judah interpreted the words "a God merciful and gracious" in to teach that with the 13 Attributes, God made a covenant that Jews will not be turned away empty-handed when they recite the Attributes, for soon thereafter, in God says, "Behold I make a covenant."Babylonian Talmud Rosh Hashanah 17b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Israel Schneider, Moshe Zev Einhorn, and Eliezer Harzka, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1999), page 17b1. Reading the Attribute "long-suffering" (, erekh appayim) in Rabbi Ḥaggai (or some say Rabbi Samuel bar Naḥmani) asked why it says , erekh appayim, using a plural form (meaning "faces" or "countenances") rather than , erekh af, using the singular form.
The Mishnah taught that one who pursues a neighbor with intent to kill must be saved from sin even at the cost of the pursuer's life.Mishnah Sanhedrin 8:7, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation. Translated by Jacob Neusner, page 602. Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 73a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Michoel Weiner and Asher Dicker, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 48, page 73a1.

The Gemara taught that it is from , “You shall not stand idly by the blood of another,” that the Sages in a Baraita derived that where one person is pursuing another with intent to kill, the pursued person should be saved even at the cost of the pursuer's life.
The Gemara taught that thus a proverb says: If there is a case of hanging in a person's family history, do not say to the person, "Hang up this fish for me."Babylonian Talmud Bava Metzia 59b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Bava Metzia: Volume 2, elucidated by Mordechai Rabinovitch and Tzvi Horowitz, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1993), volume 42, page 59b3. A Judge Announcing Judgment (illustration circa 1890–1910 by Paul Hardy) Rabbi Judah interpreted the words "you shall not respect persons in judgment" in to teach judges not to favor their friends, and Rabbi Eleazar interpreted the words to teach judges not to treat a litigant as a stranger, even if the litigant was the judge's enemy.
An Israeli M48 Patton captured by Egyptian forces By October 8, Israel had encountered military difficulties on both fronts. In the Sinai, Israeli efforts to break through Egyptian lines with armor had been thwarted, and while Israel had contained and begun to turn back the Syrian advance, Syrian forces were still overlooking the Jordan River and their air defense systems were inflicting a high toll on Israeli planes.William B. Quandt, Peace Process, p. 109. It became clear by October 9 that no quick reversal in Israel's favor would occur and that IDF losses were unexpectedly high.October 9, 1973, conversation (8:20–8:40 am) between Israeli Ambassador to the United States Simcha Dinitz, military attaché General Mordechai Gur, Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, and Peter Rodman.

During his time, there was little to no study of Kabbalah and the emphasis was not on trying to understand God, but on trying to understand the human being. He also encouraged his students to study the secular sciences and the writings of the Rambam, which were unprecedented for a Hasidic community. Simcha Bunim believed that Religion was not simply an act of adopting a system of beliefs, but that test and trial were needed, and one had to ascertain through introspection whether one's beliefs were genuine or not and whether one acted out the truth or lived a life of pretense. He encouraged questioning and reflection and was he was not afraid of doubts of deliberations that might lead one astray.
Nathan's original Judeo-Arabic commentary of the Mishnah served as the basis for a later recension made by a 12th-century anonymous author and copyist,Schlossberg, E. (2005), p. 281Assaf, Simcha (Kiryat Sefer 1933) presumes that the copyist and redactor lived between the years 1105 CE and 1170 CE, based on the fact that the last of the exegetes mentioned by the copyist is Rabbi Isaac Alfasi (1013–1103), while not mentioning at all in his work the explanations given by Maimonides (born 1135), who also compiled a Judeo-Arabic commentary on the Mishnah (see: Nathan ben Abraham (1955), vol. 1, Preface written by Mordecai Yehudah Leib Sachs, appended at the end of the book). believed to be of Yemenite Jewish provenance.
In: Montreal Gazette 3/13/11 Spanish scientists have dismissed Freund's claims claiming that he was sensationalising their work. The anthropologist Juan Villarías-Robles, who works with the Spanish National Research Council, said "Richard Freund was a newcomer to our project and appeared to be involved in his own very controversial issue concerning King Solomon's search for ivory and gold in Tartessos, the well documented settlement in the Doñana area established in the first millennium BC" and described his claims as 'fanciful'. Simcha Jacobovici, involved in the production of a documentary on Freund's work for the National Geographic Channel, stated that the biblical Tarshish (which he believes is the same as Tartessos) was Atlantis, and that "Atlantis was hiding in the Tanach". Although this is heavily disputed by most archeologists involved in the project.
Mishnah Zevachim 1:1–2:5, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, pages 699–703; Babylonian Talmud Zevachim 2a–31b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Israel Schneider, and Michoel Weiner, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1995), volume 55, pages 2a1–31b3. A Tanna recited before Rabbi Isaac bar Abba the words of , “And he presented the burnt offering; and offered it according to the ordinance,” which refer to the obligatory burnt offering that required Aaron to bring on the eighth day of his consecration. The Tanna reasoned that by saying “according to the ordinance,” referred to the rules that applied to voluntary burnt offerings, and thus taught that those rules also applied to obligatory burnt offerings.
43–50 During the Battle of the Sinai (1973) the Egyptian Second and Third Armies breached the Bar-Lev Line on October 6. After Egyptian infantry had successfully crossed the canal and captured the Bar-Lev Line on October 6, Israeli forces made several counterattacks in attempts to push the Egyptians back across the Suez Canal. The Israelis suffered heavy losses in these attacks, and by October 9 Egyptian forces in the Sinai had managed to destroy 500 Israeli tanks. The 3rd Egyptian Armored Division was completely eliminated and 120 Egyptian prisoners were taken in the battle at Wadi Mab'uk.October 9, 1973 conversation (8:20–8:40 AM) between Israeli Ambassador to the United States Simcha Dinitz, military attaché General Mordechai Gur, Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, and Peter Rodman.
Ashlag () is the name of a number of Hasidic courts that were established in Israel by the students and descendants of Kabbalist Rebbe Yehuda Leib Haleivi Ashlag from Warsaw, Poland, known as Baal HaSulam.Y Alfasi Hachasidut miDor leDor p 511 Although Hasidic dynasties are most often named for their town of origin, this dynasty is known by the surname of its rebbes. The Current Ashlag Admor shlita, Rebbe Simcha Halevi Ashlag, was born to the previous Ashlag Admor, Rebbe Shlomo Binyamin ztz”l and his wife, Marat Ahuva Liba, in 5708. As a child, he was close to his holy grandfather, the renowned Ba’al Hasulam, who saw in him great promise and told him to commence study of the Zohar together with his other studies at the age of 13.

Abraham then noticed a ram. (1984 illustration by Jim Padgett, courtesy of Distant Shores Media/Sweet Publishing) Rabbi Abbahu taught that Jews sound a blast with a shofar made from a ram's horn on Rosh Hashanah, because God instructed them to do so to bring before God the memory of the binding of Isaac, in whose stead Abraham sacrificed a ram, and thus God will ascribe it to worshipers as if they had bound themselves before God. Rabbi Isaac asked why one sounds (, tokin) a blast on Rosh Hashanah, and the Gemara answered that God states in “Sound (, tiku) a shofar.”Babylonian Talmud Rosh Hashanah 16a.
After a 2015 limousine crash on Long Island that killed four, Schumer, the Senate's current minority leader, had asked the NTSB to study limousine accidents as the beginning of an effort to improve safety and regulation. He and Kirsten Gillibrand, New York's other U.S. Senator, along with Connecticut senator Richard Blumenthal, again wrote to the board after the accident, saying it pointed to the need to improve regulation and safety standards for limousines and the companies that operate them. New York state legislators also have introduced bills to improve limousine safety. State senator Simcha Felder's bill would ban the use of any stretch limousines older than 10 years and require a minimum of $2 million in liability insurance coverage, as well as changing procedures for vehicles that fail inspection.
One said that God saw the atonement money that reports God required Moses to collect from the Israelites, while the other said that God saw the Temple. The Gemara concluded that the more likely view was that God saw the Temple, as can be read to say, "As it will be said on that day, ‘in the mount where the Lord is seen.'"Babylonian Talmud Berakhot 62b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Berachos: Volume 2, elucidated by Yosef Widroff, Mendy Wachsman, Israel Schneider, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1997), volume 2, pages 62b3–5. A Midrash read , “Raise the head of the children of Israel,” to teach that God bestows preferment just as a king of flesh and blood bestows preferment.
Rabbah bar bar Hana said in Rabbi Johanan's name that had Zimri withdrawn from his mistress and Phinehas still killed him, Phinehas would have been liable to execution for murder, and had Zimri killed Phinehas in self-defense, he would not have been liable to execution for murder, as Phinehas was a pursuer seeking to take Zimri's life.Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 82a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Michoel Weiner and Asher Dicker, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 48, page 82a2. But based on and 11, the Mishnah listed the case of a man who had sexual relations with an Aramean woman as one of three cases for which it was permissible for zealots to punish the offender on the spot.Mishnah Sanhedrin 9:6 (Land of Israel, circa 200 CE), in, e.g.
In a Baraita, the Rabbis reasoned that had said simply, "You shall not hate your brother," one might have believed that one should simply not smite, slap, or curse him; therefore states "in your heart" to cover intentions as well as actions. Scripture speaks of hatred in the heart.Babylonian Talmud Arakhin 16b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Mendy Wachsman, Feivel Wahl, Yosef Davis, Henoch Moshe Levin, Israel Schneider, Yeshayahu Levy, Eliezer Herzka, Dovid Nachfolger, Eliezer Lachman, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 67, page 16b1.

Anaerobic digesters at Hiriya waste facility Israel's agricultural sector is characterized by an intensive system of production stemming from the need to overcome the scarcity in natural resource, particularly water and arable land, in a country where more than half of its area is desert. The growth in agricultural production is based on close cooperation of scientists, farmers and agriculture-related industries and has resulted in the development of advanced agricultural technology, water-conserving irrigation methods, anaerobic digestion, greenhouse technology, desert agriculture and salinity research. Israeli companies also supply irrigation, water conservation and greenhouse technologies and know-how to other countries.Agrotechnology Company Directory in The Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute Retrieved 2009-12-02 The modern technology of drip irrigation was invented in Israel by Simcha Blass and his son Yeshayahu.
Throughout his life he continued to use his cantorial skills, conducting High Holiday services at the Riverside Plaza Hotel each fall and returning to the "Borscht Belt" (the Catskill Mountains of New York), where, like so many Jewish entertainers, he had gotten his start, to conduct Passover services at Green's, Brown's, Young's Gap, and the Windsor hotels. Through the 1950s and 60's he made several recording albums, including Yinglish, old Yiddish melodies sung in English, and Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish (see discography), for which he wrote the Yiddish lyrics. He published his biography with Barney Rubin, I Lost a Thousand Pounds (Oceanic Publications). He was a popular entertainer at weddings and bar mitzvahs, and there wasn't a family simcha that he and his wife, Lillian, didn't sing for.
Gerard Jollain from the 1670 La Saincte Bible) Rav Assi of Hozna'ah deduced from the words, "And it came to pass in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month," in that the Tabernacle was erected on the first of Nisan. With reference to this, a Tanna taught that the first of Nisan took ten crowns of distinction by virtue of the ten momentous events that occurred on that day.Babylonian Talmud Shabbat 87b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Shabbos: Volume 3, elucidated by Yosef Asher Weiss, Michoel Weiner, Asher Dicker, Abba Zvi Naiman, Yosef Davis, and Israel Schneider, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1996), volume 5, page 87a; see also Sifra Shemini Mekhilta deMiluim 99:1:3 (Land of Israel, 4th century CE), in, e.g.
This privilege had been purchased by his grandfather, the Sadigura Rebbe, from the Sephardi guardians of Meron and Safed; the Sadigura Rebbe bequeathed this honor to his eldest son, Rabbi Yitzchok, the first Boyaner Rebbe, and his progeny. During the 13 years that he lived in Tel Aviv, Rabbi Yisroel lit the first bonfire in Meron each year; after his death, Rabbi Mordechai Shlomo inherited the privilege. When he wasn't able to travel to Israel for Lag BaOmer, Rabbi Mordechai Shlomo appointed Rabbi Simcha Kaplan, the Rav of Safed, to light the first bonfire in his stead. In 1948 the Ruzhiner synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem, Tiferet Yisroel (also called the Nissan Beck Synagogue), which was completed by the Sadigura Rebbe, Rabbi Avrohom Yaakov Friedman, in 1872, was destroyed by the Arab Legion during the 1948 Israel War of Independence.
The crossing was named after the Mandelbaum House, a three-story building that stood at that location from 1927 to 1948. The house was built by a Jewish merchant named Simcha Mandelbaum, who had raised his ten children in the Old City but who needed a home with more space to accommodate his married children and guests. Rather than build in more populated areas like Jaffa Road or Rehavia, he chose to build on a lot at the end of Shmuel HaNavi Street, near the location of the Third Wall from the time of King Agrippas. Although Mandelbaum wanted to set an example for other Jews to build in the area and expand Jerusalem's northern boundary, the Waqf owned large tracts in the area and forbade Arabs from selling any more land to Jews, so the house stood alone.
The following day, The New York Times wrote that the Democrats had "decisively evict[ed] Republicans from running the State Senate, which they [had] controlled for all but three years since World War II." Enrolled Democrats won 40 of the chamber's 63 seats, including all but one seat in New York City and six of the nine seats on Long Island, the latter of which had been under total Republican control since the early 1970s. Brooklyn Senator Simcha Felder, a Democrat who had previously caucused with the Republicans, sought to rejoin the Senate Democratic Conference, but was turned down in December 2018, though he was later accepted into the Democratic caucus on July 1, 2019. The Democrats' election victories made possible the January 2019 election of Andrea Stewart- Cousins as the first female Majority Leader and Temporary President in the chamber's history.
Resh Lakish said that he saw the flow of the milk and honey of Sepphoris extend over an area of sixteen miles by sixteen miles. Rabbah bar Bar Hana said that he saw the flow of the milk and honey in all the Land of Israel and the total area was equal to an area of twenty-two parasangs by six parasangs.Babylonian Talmud Ketubot 111b–12a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Kesubos: Volume 3, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman, Avrohom Neuberger, Dovid Kamenetsky, Yosef Davis, Henoch Moshe Levin, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2000), volume 28, pages 111b–12a.

The Jerusalem Talmud read the reference to “congregation” in to support the proposition that ten comprise a congregation. Rabbi Abba and Rabbi Yasa said in the name of Rabbi Joḥanan that Scripture uses the word “congregation” in , “The congregation shall judge, and the congregation shall rescue,” and also in , “How long shall this wicked congregation murmur against me?” and argued that just as the word “congregation” in refers to ten persons (the twelve spies minus Joshua and Caleb), the word “congregation” in , must refer to ten persons, and thus judgments needed to take place in the presence of ten.
The first home to be erected on what would become known as Shmuel HaNavi Street was the Mandelbaum House, a large, three-story house built by Simcha Torever-Mandelbaum, a Jerusalem textile merchant, in 1927. Mandelbaum chose the location at the eastern end of the street, facing Sheikh Jarrah, with a desire to expand the northern boundary of Jewish Jerusalem at that time. In 1941, the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo, initially a small children's zoo on Harav Kook Street in central Jerusalem, was moved to a tract at the eastern end of Shmuel HaNavi Street before relocating to the campus of the Hebrew University on Mount Scopus in 1947. Houses built at the eastern end of the street before 1948 were largely inhabited by poor families and subject to sniper fire from Sheik Jarrah during the 1947 civil war.
In his 1992 documentary series Legacy, historian Michael Wood walked down a small lane in Kaifeng that he said is known as the "alley of the sect who teach the Scriptures", that is, of the Jews. He mentioned that there are still Jews in Kaifeng today, but that they are reluctant to reveal themselves "in the current political climate". The documentary's companion book further states that one can still see a "mezuzah on the door frame, and the candelabrum in the living room". Similarly, in the documentary Quest for the Lost Tribes, by Canadian filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici, the film crew visits the home of an elderly Kaifeng Jew who explains the recent history of the Kaifeng Jews, shows some old photographs, and his identity papers that identify him as a member of the Jewish ethnic group.
But the Gemara answered that Uzziah did so through Zechariah's prophecy. A Baraita told that when the first Temple was destroyed, the Urim and Thummim ceased, and explained (reporting events after the Jews returned from the Babylonian Captivity), "And the governor said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim," as a reference to the remote future, as when one speaks of the time of the Messiah. Rav Nachman concluded that the term "former prophets" referred to a period before Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, who were latter prophets.Babylonian Talmud Sotah 48b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Eliezer Herzka, Moshe Zev Einhorn, Michoel Weiner, Dovid Kamenetsky, and Reuvein Dowek, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 33b, pages 48b1–2.
And the Baraita interpreted to teach that as punishment for idolatry and failure to observe the Sabbatical (Shmita) and Jubilee (Yovel) years, the Jews are exiled and others come to dwell in their land.Babylonian Talmud Shabbat 32b–33a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Shabbos: Volume 1, elucidated by Asher Dicker, Nasanel Kasnett, and David Fohrman, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1996), volume 3, pages 32b–33a. A priest blowing a horn (illustration from Henry Davenport Northrop's 1894 Treasures of the Bible) Just as attributes famine to sin, the Mishnah taught that a famine from drought comes when some of the people do not give tithes, a famine from tumult and drought comes when all decide not to give tithes, and a famine of annihilation comes when they decide (in addition) not to set apart the dough offering.
The Tosefta taught that while the valuation of a rich man was 50 selas as stated in , the valuation of a poor man was one sela.Tosefta Arakhin 1:5, in, e.g., Jacob Neusner, translator, Tosefta, volume 2, page 1496.

For the Rabbis taught in a Baraita the view of Rabbi Josiah that because the word "keep" is read to imply prohibition of work, the words, "The Feast of Unleavened Bread shall you keep, seven days," in teach that work is forbidden for seven days, and thus work is forbidden on the mid-festival days.Babylonian Talmud Chagigah 18a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Dovid Kamenetsky, Henoch Levin, Feivel Wahl, Israel Schneider, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 22, page 18a. According to one version of the dispute, Resh Lakish and Rabbi Johanan disagreed over how to interpret the words, "None shall appear before Me empty," in Resh Lakish argued that taught that whenever a pilgrim appeared at the Temple, even during the succeeding days of a multi- day Festival, the pilgrim had to bring an offering.
Cities of Refuge (illustration from a Bible card published 1901 by the Providence Lithograph Company) Chapter 2 of tractate Makkot in the Mishnah, Tosefta, Jerusalem Talmud, and Babylonian Talmud interpreted the laws of the cities of refuge in and Mishnah Makkot 2:1–8, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, pages 612–16; Tosefta Makkot 2:1–3:10, in, e.g., The Tosefta: Translated from the Hebrew, with a New Introduction, translated by Jacob Neusner; Jerusalem Talmud Makkot, chapter 2, in, e.g., The Jerusalem Talmud: A Translation and Commentary, edited by Jacob Neusner and translated by Jacob Neusner, Tzvee Zahavy, B.

In a Baraita, the Rabbis deduced from the command in that "you shall surely rebuke your neighbor" that one is obliged to reprove a neighbor whom one observes doing something wrong. And they deduced from the emphatic words "you shall surely rebuke" that if one has rebuked one's neighbor and the neighbor does not accept the rebuke, then one must rebuke the neighbor again. But the Rabbis deduced that continues to say "you shall not bear sin because of him" to teach that one should not rebuke a neighbor to the neighbor's embarrassment.Babylonian Talmud Arakhin 16b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Mendy Wachsman, Feivel Wahl, Yosef Davis, Henoch Moshe Levin, Israel Schneider, Yeshayahu Levy, Eliezer Herzka, Dovid Nachfolger, Eliezer Lachman, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 67, page 16b2.
Development of a new currency to be known as the shekel (properly, sheqel) was approved by the Israeli Knesset on 4 June 1969. The governors of the Bank of Israel did not consider the time ripe until November 1977, when studies for its implementation began. Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Minister of Finance Simcha Erlich approved a proposal to redenominate the Israeli pound in May 1978; the proposal called for the currency to be exactly similar except for the removal of a zero from the inflated pound and agorot denominations.. The shekel and new agora became legal tender on 22 February 1980 and went into circulation two days later. Initial denominations were IS 1, 5, 10, and 50, but over the next five years inflation led to another five: IS 100, 500, 1000, 5000, and 10 000.
The Gemara read the words of , "Then the Tent of Meeting, with the camp of the Levites, shall travel in the midst of the camps; as they encamp, so shall they travel," to teach that even though the tent traveled disassembled from place to place, it was still considered the Tent of Meeting, and thus, the Israelite camp retained its sacred status even while traveling. As a consequence, offerings of lesser sanctity could be consumed wherever the Israelite camp was located.Babylonian Talmud Zevachim, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Zevachim: Volume 3, elucidated by Israel Schneider, Yosef Widroff, Mendy Wachsman, Dovid Katz, Zev Meisels, and Feivel Wahl, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1996), volume 57, page 116b.

In the Babylonian Talmud, the Gemara read "You shall not follow a multitude to do evil," to support the rule that when a court tried a non-capital case, the decision of the majority of the judges determined the outcome.Babylonian Talmud Chullin 11a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Mordechai Rabinovitch, Nasanel Kasnett, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1995), volume 61, page 11a1. A carob tree A Baraita taught that one day, Rabbi Eliezer employed every imaginable argument for the proposition that a particular type of oven was not susceptible to ritual impurity, but the Sages did not accept his arguments. Then Rabbi Eliezer told the Sages, "If the halachah agrees with me, then let this carob tree prove it," and the carob tree moved 100 cubits (and others say 400 cubits) out of its place.
Rabbi Johanan (or some say Rabbi Samuel bar Nahmani) taught that this conclusion could be derived from the use of the identical word "put" (tet) in and . And Rabbi Samuel bar Nahmani (or some say Rabbi Johanan) taught that this conclusion could be deduced from the words "the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who, when they hear the report of you, shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you" in . Rabbi Samuel (or some say Rabbi Johanan) taught that the peoples trembled and were in anguish because of Moses when the sun stood still for him.Babylonian Talmud Avodah Zarah 25a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Avodah Zarah: Volume 1, elucidated by Avrohom Neuberger, Nasanel Kasnett, Zev Meisels, and Dovid Kamenetsky, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2001), volume 52, page 25a; Babylonian Talmud Taanit 20a, in, e.g.
Rabbi Hiyya bar Abba likened it to the case of a man who had a son and bathed him, anointed him, gave him plenty to eat and drink, hung a purse round his neck, and set him down at the door of a brothel. How could the boy help sinning? Rav Aha the son of Rav Huna said in the name of Rav Sheshet that this bears out the popular saying that a full stomach leads to a bad impulse. As says, "When they were fed they became full, they were filled and their heart was exalted; therefore they have forgotten Me."Babylonian Talmud Berakhot 32a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Yosef Widroff, Mendy Wachsman, Israel Schneider, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1997), volume 2, page 32a; see also Babylonian Talmud Yoma 86b, in, e.g.

Simcha Bunim Bonhardt of Peshischa (Yiddish: שמחה בונם באנהאַרד פון פשיסחה, ; – September 4, 1827) also known as the Rebbe Reb Bunim was the first Grand Rabbi of Peshischa (Przysucha, Poland) as well as one of the key leaders of Hasidic Judaism in Poland. From 1813 to 1827, he led the Peshischa movement of Hasidic thought, in which he revolutionized 19th-century Hasidic philosophy by juxtaposing the rationalistic thought of the German-Jewish Misnagdim with the intimate nature of God defined by the Hasidic movement. He was instrumental in challenging the Hasidic status quo, in which he paired secular European sciences and enlightenment philosophy with traditional Orthodox Judaism while controversially emphasizing the importance of the individual in regards to one's personal relationship with God. He outwardly challenged the dynastic nature of Hasidic rebbes, which led to several unsuccessful attempts by contemporary Hasidic leadership to excommunicate him.
He taught that all actions have to be done with sincerity in a state of personal truthfulness and that performing a mitzvah for the sake of personal interest or for the sake of conformity, results in the mitzvah having less weight. He believed that emotional and physical preparation for prayer is crucial for one to be able to fulfill the mitzvoth authentically and that personal analysis and self-honesty are integral for this process, which should be prioritized over halakhic restrictions of time. Simcha Bunim saw that the ultimate purpose of the Torah and the mitzvoth is to draw a person close to God, though an approach that can only be achieved with humility and joy, and that a critical and intellectual interpretation of the Torah is crucial for enlightenment. He thus concluded that the service of God demanded both passion and analytical study.
That year, author Henry Baum's North of Sunset, a gripping saga of murder, mayhem and double-crossing set in the Hollywood landscape, took home the competition's top prize, which he accepted before a packed house at the Tangier restaurant in Hollywood. Among that evening's highlights was a reading by author, actress and musician Pamela Des Barres, best known for her top- selling book, I’m With The Band. Other winners from 2006 include Up Up and Oy Vey by Simcha Weinstein, a study of Jewish super heroes and their creators that won the non-fiction category; Marcello The Movie Mouse by Liz Hockinson and Kathryn Otoshi, a tale of a furry fan of flicks and the winner of the children's book category; and My Sister's Wedding by Hannah R. Goodman, winner of the teenage category. The 2007 Hollywood Book Festival grand prize winner was Will Clarke's The Worthy: A Ghost's Story.
The first two chapters of Tractate Bava Metzia in the Mishnah, Tosefta, Jerusalem Talmud, and Babylonian Talmud interpreted the laws of lost property in .Mishnah Bava Metzia 1:1–2:11, in, e.g., Jacob Neusner, translator, Mishnah, pages 528–34; Tosefta Bava Metzia 1:1–2:33, in, e.g., Jacob Neusner, translator, Tosefta, volume 2, pages 1023–29; Jerusalem Talmud Bava Metzia 1a–8b (Tiberias, Land of Israel, circa 400 CE), in, e.g., Talmud Yerushalmi: Tractate Bava Metzia, elucidated by Gershon Hoffman, Elchanan Cohen, Mordechai Smilowitz, Shlomo Silberman, Mendy Wachsman, Mordechai Stareshefsky, and Abba Zvi Naiman, edited by Chaim Malinowitz and Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2018), volume 42, pages 1a1–8b2; Babylonian Talmud Bava Metzia 2a–33b, in, e.g., Hersh Goldwurm, editor, Talmud Bavli: Tractate Bava Metzia: Volume 1 (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1992), volume 41, pages 2a1–33b2. The Mishnah read the reference to "your brother’s ox or his sheep" in to apply to any domestic animal.Mishnah Bava Kamma 5:7, in, e.g.
Mishnah Bava Metzia 7:1–8, in, e.g., Jacob Neusner, translator, Mishnah, pages 546–48; Tosefta Bava Metzia 8:3, 6, 8–9, in, e.g., Jacob Neusner, translator, Tosefta, volume 2, pages 1067–68; Jerusalem Talmud Bava Metzia 26a–27b, in, e.g., Talmud Yerushalmi: Tractate Bava Metzia, elucidated by Gershon Hoffman et al., volume 42, pages 26a3–27b3; Babylonian Talmud Bava Metzia 83a–93a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Bava Metzia: Volume 3, elucidated by Shlomo Fox-Ashrei, Nasanel Kasnett, Abba Zvi Naiman, Yosef Davis, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1994), volume 43, pages 83a4–93a4. The Mishnah taught that a worker could eat cucumbers or dates even to a denar’s worth. Rabbi Elazar ben Hisma said that a worker could not eat more than the value of the worker’s wages. But the Sages allowed a worker to do so, but advised that they teach the worker not to be so gluttonous as to close the door against the worker’s own future employment.
Tractate Zevachim in the Mishnah, Tosefta, and Babylonian Talmud interpreted the law of animal sacrifices in Mishnah Zevachim 1:1–14:10, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, pages 699–732; Tosefta Zevachim 1:1–13:20, in, e.g., The Tosefta: Translated from the Hebrew, with a New Introduction, translated by Jacob Neusner, volume 2, pages 1307–69; Babylonian Talmud Zevachim 2a–120b, in, e.g., Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, editors, Talmud Bavli: Tractate Zevachim (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1995–1996), volumes 55–57. The Mishnah taught that a sacrifice was slaughtered for the sake of six things: (1) for the sake of the sacrifice for which it was consecrated, (2) for the sake of the offerer, (3) for the sake of the Divine Name, (4) for the sake of the altar fires, (5) for the sake of an aroma, and (6) for the sake of pleasing God, and a sin-offering and a guilt-offering for the sake of sin.
This teaching appealed to the followers of Peshischa, who were an elite and highly educated group of young Hasidim who were willing to sacrifice their material well-being as well as their inner peace in the name of self-cleansing. The Yehudi believed that one of the main paths to self-cleansing was the parring of traditional Talmudic learning with the deeply spiritual Kavanah of Hasidism. Unlike his Hasidic contemporaries, the Yehudi believed that Learning Talmud became central to the worship of God stating that "learning Talmud and Tosafot purifies the mind and makes one ready for praying" Ultimately the Yehudi believed that critical search for truth was crucial to enlightenment, and that process of enlightenment could only be done by an individual rather than through a rebbe. After his death in 1813, the Yehudi was succeeded by his main disciple Simcha Bunim of Peshischa who brought the movement its highest point and kickstarted a counter-revolutionary movement that challenged the Hasidic norm.
Rabbi Johanan said that Rabban Gamaliel and his court reached their conclusion on Biblical authority, noting the common use of the term "Sabbath" (, Shabbat) in both the description of the weekly Sabbath in and the Sabbath-year in Thus, just as in the case of the Sabbath Day, work is forbidden on the day itself, but allowed on the day before and the day after, so likewise in the Sabbath Year, tillage is forbidden during the year itself, but allowed in the year before and the year after.Babylonian Talmud Moed Katan 4a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Gedaliah Zlotowitz, Michoel Weiner, Noson Dovid Rabinowitch, and Yosef Widroff, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1999), volume 21, pages 4a1–2. The Mishnah taught that exile resulted from (among other things) transgressing the commandment (in and ) to observe a Sabbatical year for the land.Mishnah Avot 5:9, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, page 687.

Thus, just as in the case of the Sabbath Day, work is forbidden on the day itself, but allowed on the day before and the day after, so likewise in the Sabbath Year, tillage is forbidden during the year itself, but allowed in the year before and the year after.Babylonian Talmud Moed Katan 4a (Sasanian Empire, 6th century), in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Gedaliah Zlotowitz, Michoel Weiner, Noson Dovid Rabinowitch, and Yosef Widroff, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1999), volume 21, pages 4a1–2. The Mishnah taught that we encourage the work of non-Jews in the Sabbatical year, but not that of Jews. And we inquire after the non-Jews’ wellbeing for the sake of peace.Mishnah Sheviit 5:9, in, e.g., Jacob Neusner, translator, Mishnah, page 81. Rabbi Isaac taught that the words of Psalm , "mighty in strength that fulfill His word," speak of those who observe the Sabbatical year.
In 1960 Aba began to work for the British division of Agudat Israel, an international strictly- orthodox Jewish lobbying organisation and political movement. In the ensuing decade he became involved in a variety of international Jewish initiatives, through his close contact with a whole range of influential orthodox Jewish figures, including, in the UK, Harry Goodman, Simcha Bunim Unsdorfer, in Israel, Rabbi Shlomo Lorincz and Rabbi Menachem Porush, and in the United States Rabbi Moshe Sherer. His job entailed working as the “pointman” for the World Agudah Movement in Europe - if something needed to be done, he was the local contact to organise it. Aba also established close links with many of the leading rabbinic luminaries of the time, whom he consulted for advice, and whom he offered his services - men such as Rabbi Leib Gurwicz, Rabbi Avrohom Babad, Rabbi Yitzchok Hutner, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, Rabbi Eliezer Menachem Schach, and Rabbi Yosef Kahaneman, the Ponovezh Rav.

Jacob's Ladder (illustration from the 1728 Figures de la Bible) Rabbi Joshua ben Levi (according to the Jerusalem Talmud and Genesis Rabbah) or a Baraita in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Yose the son of Rabbi Haninah (according to the Babylonian Talmud) said that the three daily prayers derived from the Patriarchs, and cited for the proposition that Jews derived the evening prayer from Jacob, arguing that within the meaning of "came upon" (, vayifga) meant "pray," just as a similar word (, yifge'u) did in (according to the Jerusalem Talmud) or another similar word (, tifga) did in (according to the Babylonian Talmud and Genesis Rabbah).Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot 43a.

A Midrash deduced from similarities in the language of the creation of humanity and the Sabbath commandment that God gave Adam the precept of the Sabbath. Reading the report of God's creating Adam in “And He put him (, vayanihehu) into the Garden of Eden,” the Midrash taught that “And He put him (, vayanihehu)” means that God gave Adam the precept of the Sabbath, for the Sabbath commandment uses a similar word in (20:11 in the NJPS), “And rested (, vayanach) on the seventh day.” continues, “to till it (, le’avedah),” and the Sabbath commandment uses a similar word in (20:9 in the NJPS), “Six days shall you labor (, ta’avod).” And continues, “And to keep it (, ule-shamerah),” and the Sabbath commandment uses a similar word in (5:12 in the NJPS), “Keep (, shamor) the Sabbath day.”Genesis Rabbah 16:5, in, e.g.
By way of explanation, the Baraita noted that did not say "and [God] shall bring back" but "and [God] shall return," teaching that God will return with the Israelites from their places of exile. Rabbi Simon concluded that thus showed how beloved the Children of Israel are in God's sight.Babylonian Talmud Megillah 29a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli: Tractate Megillah, elucidated by Gedaliah Zlotowitz and Hersh Goldwurm, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1991), volume 20, page 29a. Rabbi Jose bar Haninah deduced from that when the Jews arrived back in the land of Israel in the time of Ezra, they once again became obligated to obey commandments like tithes (, ma’asrot). Rabbi Jose bar Haninah reasoned that the words, "And the Lord your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it," in showed that the Jews’ possession of the land in the time of Ezra was comparable to their possession of it in the time of Joshua.

Following the March 4, 2007, airing of The Lost Tomb of Jesus on the Discovery Channel, American journalist Ted Koppel aired a program entitled The Lost Tomb of Jesus—A Critical Look, whose guests included the director Simcha Jacobovici, James Tabor, Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte who served as a consultant and advisor on the documentary, Jonathan Reed, Professor of Religion at the University of LaVerne and co-author of Excavating Jesus Beneath the Stones, Behind the Text, and William Dever, an archaeologist with over 50 years experience in Middle Eastern archaeological digs. Alan Cooperman, writer of The Washington Post article also states this: "Similar assessments came yesterday from two Israeli scholars, Amos Kloner, who originally excavated the tomb, and Joe Zias, former curator of archaeology at the Israeli Antiquities Authority. Kloner told the Jerusalem Post that the documentary is "nonsense." Zias described it in an e-mail to The Washington Post as a "hyped up film which is intellectually and scientifically dishonest.
When they told him that the time had come, he washed his hands and feet with water from the laver, took the silver fire-pan, went to the top of the altar, cleared away the cinders on either side, and scooped up the ashes in the center. He then came down, and when he reached the floor, he turned to the north (toward the altar) and went along the east side of the ramp for about ten cubits, and he then piled the cinders on the pavement three handbreadths away from the ramp, in the place where they used to put the crop of the birds, the ashes from the inner altar, and the ash from the menorah.Mishnah Tamid 1:4, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, page 864; Babylonian Talmud Tamid 28a–b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Avrohom Neuberger, Nasanel Kasnett, Abba Zvi Naiman, Henoch Moshe Levin, Eliezer Lachman, and Ari Lobel, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr, volume 70, page 28a–b.

The Fall of Jericho (illustration from a Bible card published 1901 by the Providence Lithograph Company) A Baraita taught that the words, "I will send My terror before you, and will discomfort all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you," in and the words, "Terror and dread fall upon them," in show that no creature was able to withstand the Israelites as they entered into the Promised Land in the days of Joshua, and those who stood against them were immediately panic-stricken and lost control of their bowels. And the words, "till Your people pass over, O Lord," in allude to the first advance of the Israelites into the Promised Land in the days of Joshua.
The earthly court says that Rosh Hashanah falls on a certain day, and God directs the ministering angels to set up the platform, let the defenders rise, and let the prosecutors rise, for God's children have announced, that it is Rosh Hashanah. If the court determined that the month of Elul spanned a full 30 days, so that Rosh Hashanah would fall on the next day, then God would direct the ministering angels to remove the platform, remove the defense attorneys, remove the prosecutors, for God's children had declared Elul a full month. For says of Rosh Hashanah, "For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob," and thus if it is not a statute for Israel, then it also is not an ordinance of God.Jerusalem Talmud Rosh Hashanah 9b (1:3), in, e.g., Talmud Yerushalmi, elucidated by Gershon Hoffman, Mordechai Smilowitz, Yehuda Jaffa, Mordechai Stareshefsky, Chaim Ochs, and Abba Zvi Naiman, edited by Chaim Malinowitz, Yisroel Simcha Schorr, and Mordechai Marcus, volume 24, pages 9b2–3.
The Rabbis told the story that God, Daniel, and Nebuchadnezzar conspired to keep Daniel out of the fiery furnace. God said: "Let Daniel depart, lest people say that Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were delivered through Daniel's merit instead of their own." Daniel said: "Let me go, so that I will not become a fulfillment of the words (in ), ‘the graven images of their gods you shall burn with fire.'" And Nebuchadnezzar said: "Let Daniel depart, lest people say that the king has burned his god in fire."Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 93a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Asher Dicker, Joseph Elias, and Dovid Katz, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1995), volume 49, page 93a3. The Mekhilta of Rabbi Ishmael used to help interpret the commandment not to covet in (20:14 in NJSP). The Mekhilta asked whether the commandment not to covet in (20:14 in NJSP) applied so far as to prohibit merely expressing one's desire for one's neighbor's things in words.
Our Rabbis taught in a Baraita that when Rabbi Ishmael's sons died, Rabbi Tarfon consoled him by noting that, as reports, upon the death of Nadab and Abihu, Moses ordered that "the whole house of Israel bewail the burning that the Lord has kindled." Rabbi Tarfon noted that Nadab and Abihu had performed only one good deed, as reports, "And the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him" (during the inaugural service of the Tabernacle). Rabbi Tarfon argued that if the Israelites universally mourned Nadab and Abihu, how much more was mourning due to Rabbi Ishmael's sons (who performed many good deeds).Babylonian Talmud Moed Katan 28b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Gedaliah Zlotowitz, Michoel Weiner, Noson Dovid Rabinowitch, and Yosef Widroff, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1999), volume 21, page 28b. The Death of Nadab and Abihu (1672 engraving by Matthias Scheits) Rabbi Simeon taught that Nadab and Abihu died only because they entered the Tent of Meeting drunk with wine.

Rabbi Yannai taught that from the very beginning of the world’s creation, God foresaw the deeds of the righteous and the wicked, and provided Yom Kippur in response. Rabbi Yannai taught that “And the earth was desolate,” alludes to the deeds of the wicked; “And God said: ‘Let there be light,’” to those of the righteous; “And God saw the light, that it was good,” to the deeds of the righteous; “And God made a division between the light and the darkness”: between the deeds of the righteous and those of the wicked; “And God called the light day,” alludes to the deeds of the righteous; “And the darkness called He night,” to those of the wicked; “and there was evening,” to the deeds of the wicked; “and there was morning,” to those of the righteous. And “one day,” teaches that God gave the righteous one day — Yom Kippur.Genesis Rabbah 3:8 (Land of Israel, 5th century), in, e.g.
Babylonian Talmud Bava Kamma 103a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Abba Zvi Naiman and Mendy Wachsman, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr, volume 40, page 103a3. The Mishnah taught that if the thief paid back the principal to the victim but did not pay the additional fifth required by ; or if the victim excused the thief the principal but not the fifth; or the victim excused the thief both the principal and the fifth, except for something less than the value of a perutah remaining of the principal, then the thief would not have to go after the victim to repay the victim. (The Mishnah did not consider the payment of the fifth as an essential condition of atonement.) If, however, the thief paid the victim the fifth but not the principal; or the victim excused the thief the fifth but not the principal; or even where the victim excused the thief for both, except for something more than the value of a perutah remaining of the principal, then the thief would have to convey it personally to the victim (even as far as Media).
Rabbi Akiva deduced from the words of that the generation of the flood will have no portion in the world to come; he read the words "and every living substance was destroyed" to refer to this world and the words "that was on the face of the ground" to refer to the next world. Rabbi Judah ben Bathyra deduced from the words "My spirit will not always enter into judgment with man" of that God will neither revive nor judge the generation of the flood on Judgment Day.Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 108a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Asher Dicker, Joseph Elias, and Dovid Katz, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 49, pages 108a1–2. Ark (watercolor circa 1896–1902 by James Tissot) Noting that calls Noah "a man" (, ish), a Midrash taught that wherever Scripture employs the term "a man" (, ish), it indicates a righteous man who warned his generation. The Midrash taught that for 120 years (deduced from ), Noah planted cedars and cut them down. When they would ask him what he was doing, he would reply that God had informed him that God was bringing a flood.
In the Mishnah, Rabbi Jose said that a malefactor was never put to death unless two witnesses had duly pre-admonished the malefactor, as prescribes, "At the mouth of two witnesses or three witnesses shall he that is worthy of death be put to death." And the Mishnah reported another interpretation of the words, "At the mouth of two witnesses," was that the Sanhedrin would not hear evidence from the mouth of an interpreter.Mishnah Makkot 1:9, in, e.g., The Mishnah: A New Translation, translated by Jacob Neusner, page 612; Babylonian Talmud Makkot 6b, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 50, page 6b1; see also Mekhilta of Rabbi Ishmael, Nezikin, chapter 4 (Land of Israel, late 4th century), in, e.g., Mekhilta de-Rabbi Ishmael, translated by Jacob Z.

Based on , "the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps," the other said that they traveled in the shape of a beam — in a row. Refuting the other's argument, the one who said that they traveled in the shape of a beam read , "as they encamp, so shall they set forward," to teach that just as the configuration of their camp was according to God's Word, so the configuration of their journey was by God's Word. While the one who said that they traveled in the shape of a box read , "the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps," to teach that Dan was more populous than the other camps, and would thus travel in the rear, and if anyone would lose any item, the camp of Dan would return it.Jerusalem Talmud Eruvin 35b (Land of Israel, circa 400 CE), in, e.g., Talmud Yerushalmi, elucidated by Mordechai Stareshefsky, Mordechai Smilowitz, Avrohom Neuberger, Chaim Ochs, Gershon Hoffman, Abba Zvi Naiman, Binyamin Jacobson, Yehuda Jaffa, and Mendy Wachsman, edited by Chaim Malinowitz, Yisroel Simcha Schorr, and Mordechai Marcus (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 2014), volume 17, page 35b4.
But Rabbi Johanan argued that refers to only the first day of a Festival, and not to succeeding days. After relating this dispute, the Gemara reconsidered and concluded that Resh Lakish and Rabbi Johanan differed not over whether additional offerings were obligatory, but over whether additional offerings were permitted.Babylonian Talmud Chagigah 7a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Dovid Kamenetsky, Henoch Levin, Feivel Wahl, Israel Schneider, and Zev Meisels, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz, volume 22, page 7a.

To the potential objection that refers to the theft of human beings, the Baraita responded that the general context of speaks of money matters; therefore must refer to monetary theft.Babylonian Talmud Talmud Sanhedrin 86a, in, e.g., Talmud Bavli, elucidated by Asher Dicker, Joseph Elias, and Dovid Katz, edited by Yisroel Simcha Schorr and Chaim Malinowitz (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1995), volume 49, page 86a3; see also Mekhilta of Rabbi Ishmael, Baḥodesh, chapter 8, in, e.g., Jacob Z. Lauterbach, translator, Mekhilta de-Rabbi Ishmael, volume 2, page 334. Moses Led Them Out of the Camp To Meet God (1984 illustration by Jim Padgett, courtesy of Distant Shores Media/Sweet Publishing) According to the Mishnah, if witnesses testified that a person was liable to receive 40 lashes, and the witnesses turned out to have perjured themselves, then Rabbi Meir taught that the perjurers received 80 lashes — 40 on account of the commandment of (20:13 in NJPS) not to bear false witness and 40 on account of the instruction of to do to perjurers as they intended to do to their victims — but the Sages said that they received only 40 lashes.
Rabbi Yisrael Meir HaCohen Kagan at prayer. The Musar (ethics) movement, founded by Rabbi Israel Salanter in the middle of the 19th-century, encouraged meditative practices of introspection and visualization that could help to improve moral character. Focusing on the truthful psychological self- evaluation of one's spiritual worship, the Musar movement institutionalized the classic musar literature tradition as a spiritual movement within the Lithuanian Yeshiva academies. Many meditation techniques were described in the writings of Salanter's closest disciple, Rabbi Simcha Zissel Ziv. According to Geoffrey Claussen of Elon University, some forms of Musar meditation are visualization techniques which "seek to make impressions upon one’s character—often a matter of taking insights of which we are conscious and bringing them into our unconscious." Other forms of Musar meditation are introspective, "considering one’s character and exploring its tendencies—often a matter of taking what is unconscious and bringing it to consciousness."
