| chofetz chaim: Rabbis of our Time Marek Čejka, Roman Kořan, 2015-10-16 The term ‘rabbi’ predominantly denotes Jewish men qualified to interpret the Torah and apply halacha, or those entrusted with the religious leadership of a Jewish community. However, the role of the rabbi has been understood differently across the Jewish world. While in Israel they control legally powerful rabbinical courts and major religious political parties, in the Jewish communities of the Diaspora this role is often limited by legal regulations of individual countries. However, the significance of past and present rabbis and their religious and political influence endures across the world. Rabbis of Our Time provides a comprehensive overview of the most influential rabbinical authorities of Judaism in the 20th and 21st Century. Through focussing on the most theologically influential rabbis of the contemporary era and examining their political impact, it opens a broader discussion of the relationship between Judaism and politics. It looks at the various centres of current Judaism and Jewish thinking, especially the State of Israel and the USA, as well as locating rabbis in various time periods. Through interviews and extracts from religious texts and books authored by rabbis, readers will discover more about a range of rabbis, from those before the formation of Israel to the most famous Chief Rabbis of Israel, as well as those who did not reach the highest state religious functions, but influenced the relation between Judaism and Israel by other means. The rabbis selected represent all major contemporary streams of Judaism, from ultra-Orthodox/Haredi to Reform and Liberal currents, and together create a broader picture of the scope of contemporary Jewish thinking in a theological and political context. An extensive and detailed source of information on the varieties of Jewish thinking influencing contemporary Judaism and the modern State of Israel, this book is of interest to students and scholars of Jewish Studies, as well as Religion and Politics. |

| chofetz chaim: The Shmuz on Life Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier, 2014-06 Ask someone today, How are you doing? and you will hear some interesting responses. Hanging in there. Surviving. That is a reaction you would expect from a man who just found out he has terminal cancer and has six months to live. How do you explain it coming from people living in the lap of luxury, enjoying wealth, freedom, and almost limitless opportunities? Hanging in there? Surviving?! More than a mere expression, it is indicative of a deep dissatisfaction just beneath the surface. That's not the way it's supposed to be. It's not the way Hashem wants it to be. The Shmuz on Life offers a road map and the inspiration to create a life of meaning and purpose - to stop merely surviving and start really living. |

Soloveitchik fled to Warsaw and then to Vilna, under Soviet control.

| chofetz chaim: Rav Chaim Fasman Rabbi Akiva Fox, 2022-03-01 Chaim Zelig was a child on the move. His father, Rabbi Oscar Fasman, led one kehillah after another until finally settling in Chicago, where he took the helm of Beis Medrash L’Torah (Skokie). Chaim, an outstanding bachur, learned in the yeshiva until his Rebbe, Reb Mendel Kaplan, sent him off to Eretz Yisrael to advance his learning. The Ponevezher Rav chose to prepare his shiurim with Chaim. The Brisker Rav accepted him as one of the fifteen original talmidim in his yeshiva. Rav Aharon Kotler invited him to be his talmid in Lakewood. But the yeshiva that would ultimately define the still “out-of-town” bachur, was Bais Hatalmud. There, Chaim studied under Reb Leib Malin and became the talmid muvhak of Reb Chaim Visoker, who primed him in teaching Torah and understanding people. After his marriage, Chaim set out to fulfill his dream of spreading Torah in America. Rabbi Chaim Fasman did the unthinkable — he left the sheltered confines of the yeshiva world for Los Angeles, California, which he envisioned as a city thirsty for Torah. He founded one of the first kollelim in America and transformed Los Angeles into a flourishing empire of Torah. This is the fascinating story of Rabbi Chaim Fasman, builder of Torah in America. |

In this new book, Rabbi Finkelman draws on the Chofetz Chaim's writings of honesty, integrity, and faith. He leavens his daily selections with stories and comments, so that no page is ever dry. Each day's selection crackles with meaning and challenge. This is a book that should be savored day by day. It should be read aloud to children, family, and study groups. It should be the basis for discussion on how to bring its messages into practice. Not only is it a valuable and potentially very influential book, in Rabbi Finkelman's hands, these lessons and stories make very enjoyable reading -- and spiritually profitable reading, as well. |
| chofetz chaim: Rabbis in Politics Eliav Taub, 2015-04-02 In RABBIS IN POLITICS Dr. Eliav Taub addresses how Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and Rabbi Elazar Shach, (the “Torah Giants” and Rabbinic leaders who shaped today’s political and religious institutions) achieved their stature and maintained their positions. The book explores how these ultra-Orthodox leaders were able to break through typical stereotypes, and become major national political influences in today’s modern arena. It also reveals how these two Torah Giants, successfully built their personal authority. Rav Shach and Rav Yosef fashioned a new leadership style, which allowed them to create revolutionary political parties never seen before In Israeli Politics. Dr. Taub details how the core policies mandated and actions implemented by Rabbis Shach and Yosef should show us the ways they creatively coped with the conflict and challenges between traditional religious values and a modern worldview in the beginning of the 21st century. |
