Across the globe, people from all walks of life came together Monday, the 17th of the Hebrew month of Menachem Av, which corresponds with July 26, to mark the one-year anniversary of the passing of my beloved mentor, Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz of saintly memory. Steinsaltz, lovingly known to his students as Rav Adin, was recognized as a once-in-a-millennium scholar, who revolutionized the world with his trailblazing translation and commentary of the entire Talmud, Bible, Maimonides Mishneh Torah, the Tanya; his authorship of many books on Jewish mysticism, philosophy and sociology; his educational institutions; and his life mission to let my people know

By Rabbi David Etengoff Our parasha, Eikev, contains a phrase, familiar to many, that is found in the first blessing of the Shemoneh Esrei: He is the great (hagadol), mighty (hagibor) and awesome (vhanorah) G-d. If this is acceptable, one might think it is permissible to add other descriptions of the Almighty during the recitation of the Shemoneh Esrei. This approach was undertaken by an anonymous shaliach tzibbur who, to his surprise, was strongly criticized by Rabbi Chanina bar Chama, as recounted in Talmud Bavli, Berachot 33b: A certain [reader] went down in the presence of Rabbi Chanina and said, G-d, the great, mighty, awesome, powerful, mighty, awe-inspiring, strong, fearless, steadfast and honored

by Brant Rosen This weeks Torah portion, Parashat Ekev, contains the well-known commandment: You must love the stranger because you were strangers in the land of Egypt. (Deuteronomy 10:19) While its often characterized as the most repeated commandment in the Torah occurring a total of 36 times, thats actually a bit of hyperbole it actually appears only six times.[1] The number 36 seems to have originated from a passage in the Talmud [2] but in the end, Id suggest that the accuracy of this claim is really irrelevant. For liberal American Jews in particular, this commandment looms large for because its a powerful statement of collective empathy.

Jesus condemned the rabbinical religionists of his day for adding to the Word of God, for heaping rules and regulations upon the people that the rabbis and priests could not keep: And He said,Woe to you also, lawyers!For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers (Luke 11:46 NKJV). Most Christians are familiar with the Jewish religion of the Old Testament

The Jewish Neturei Karta raises the Palestinian flag in front of the Israeli flags The anti-Zionist Neturei Karta group organized a stand with the Palestinian flag, in the face of the Israeli flags march, which started today in Jerusalem, and was described by Palestinian factions and international parties as provocative. One of the photos was recorded by the Neturei Karta group, standing inside a checkpoint guarded by the Israeli police, while one of its members raises the Palestinian flag in front of the Zionist flags march in the Al-Masara area in Old Jerusalem. The Neturei Karta group is a Haredi Jewish movement that rejects Zionism in all its forms and opposes the existence of the State of Israel.
