Artist Ben Schachter is taking a slice of the Talmud and seasoning it anew in his upcoming graphic novel, Akhnais Pizza, a reimagining of the dispute between Rabbi Eliezer and the sages. In its original telling, the Talmud notes a disagreement between Rabbi Eliezer and the rabbis. According to Rabbi Eliezer, if one cut an earthenware oven into segments and placed sand between those segments, the oven is ritually pure, as it is no longer a complete vessel.

From Buddhism to Christianity, Hinduism to Islam, faiths recognize the need for environmental stewardship and urge followers to be caretakers of the planet and its biodiversity.

Rabbi Judah, the Rebbe in his time of all Israel, as he passed from life confined within a body to liberation from all physical bonds as he began to attain higher and yet incomparably higher states of being, for the righteous have no rest, not in this world and not in the world to come at that time, he said, My children, I need them. So too with our Rebbe. Even as he has left the confines of his body, even as he leaps to entirely new heights of existence, not only will those tied to him still need him, climb higher with him, achieve so much more through the strength he gives them, but he, as well, will need them, and depend upon their hard work, to achieve that which he must achieve

There was a mixture of ecstasy and anxiety as many Orthodox synagogues here along with a handful of Conservative congregations began reopening over the last three weeks. But the services are generally shorter and out of doors, there are no lengthy sermons, no kiddush, congregants must bring their own prayer books, tallit and tefillin and they must wear masks at all times
