WEINREB Our tradition teaches us to avoid using the divine name. We are instructed not to pronounce it in vain, and not to refer to it directly in writing. Some permit the name to be spelled out in languages other than Hebrew, whereas I personally follow the stricter opinion and use other terms to designate the deity. Thus, in these columns I typically refer to “The Lord;” or to “The Almighty;” to “The Holy One

ZEALOTRY, TUNNEL VISION, AND BEING SHORTSIGHTED BY RABBI MOSHE MEIR WEISS

Most of us are watching the events transpiring in Beit Shemesh with horror: A nine year-old girl being spat upon (along with reports of rocks and feces thrown) as she goes to school leaves us shaken. But for our personal lives there are other ramifications. Shlomo HaMelech...

THE OLD YOUNG ISRAEL BY DAVID WILDER

Yesterday my wife and I spent Shabbat in Jerusalem with some friends. They made Aliyah a year and a half ago and invited us to spend the day with them in the “Holy City.” After arriving at their apartment in the Kiryat Shmuel neighborhood of Jerusalem, I asked what time...

SHEMOS...A DEEPER MEANING BY RABBI MOSHE HUBNER

In Parashas Shemos, we learn about Moshe Rabbeinu’s initial meeting with Hashem (Perek 3). Moshe sees the burning bush and investigates the situation (3:2). Hashem tells him that He has seen the affliction of the Jews in Egypt (3:7) and is now going to rescue them (3:8). “…...

ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS BY RABBI. DR. WEINREB

UP, UP & AWAY BY ROBIN AKSELRUD & DAVID ETTINGER

Dear Therapists, My family and I will soon be traveling to Israel. This means a long flight. I was hoping you could give me some advice. Whenever I sit for too long my back starts to hurt and my legs feel tired. Is there anything I can do to prevent this during the flights there and...

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE BEIT SHEMESH SPITTER BY AISH HATORAH

How dare you? How dare you spit on an 8-year-old schoolgirl and terrorize her as she walks to school? Regardless of what she’s wearing; spitting, verbal abuse, and threats of violence cannot be tolerated. How dare you call yourself a Hareidi, God-fearing Jew? Your actions are...

SPIRITUAL TIME MANAGEMENT BY RABBI DR. WEINREB

The two old men couldn’t have been more different from each other. Yet they both taught me the identical life lesson. The first, a cagey old Irishman, was one of my mentors in the postgraduate psychotherapy training program in which I was enrolled many years ago. He wrote quite a few...

NO NEED FOR THAT CUP OF COFFEE BY THE PHYSICAL THERAPISTS

Grocery shopping is complete... Homework is done... Children are bathed and in bed... You sit down with a sigh of relief and a yawn.... But then you realize that it’s time to cook for Shabbos! How can you possibly manage to make the challah, gefilte fish, chicken soup, main dishes,...

A QUINTESSENTIAL JEWISH PATRIOT BY DAVID WILDER

Last night a very special event took place at the Hurva synagogue, in the “Old City” of Jerusalem. Hundreds gathered to honor Hebron-Kiryat Arba’s chief rabbi, Rav Dov Lior. Rav Lior is, most simply put, a Torah giant, a genius whose Torah scholarship is second to...
