Economic utopia of the Torah. Economic concepts of the Hebrew Bible interpreted according to the Rabbinical Literature
No full textHebrew Bible offers alternative Economic utopia for building Theocratic society. In this paper, various economic concepts and themes are presented, as found in the Hebrew Bible. These economic concepts include taxation, property rights, labor market, social policy, banking, years of Sabbath and Jubilee, and business cycles. Most economic issues of the Bible are found in the texts of Torah, also known as five Books of Moses. These texts are analyzed by using classical Rabbinical commentaries for better insight. Contrary to the modern Economic theory which is based on the assumptions of scarcity of resources and unlimited needs of consumers, Economics of the Torah is based on God’s resources which are enough for all true needs of His people.Hebrew Bible, History of Economics, History of Economic Thought, Ancient Israel, Judaism
Rabbi Shneur Zalmans antropologi
No full textThe subject of this article is the anthropology of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Lyady. After an evaluation of past research into Hasidism and into Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Lyady in particular it is argued that this research possesses a rather reductionistic character. The greater part of these studies deal with either the idea of devekut introduced by Gershom Scholem as the central theme or some kind of social crisis, a line of research initiated by Simon Dubnow. Contrary to these two strands the author proposes to evaluate the emergence of Hasidism as an ideological break with the past caused by the introduction of a new episteme and discourse. This idea the author tries to describe using the texts of Rabbi Shneur Zalman as an example and his understanding of man as a theme, as it is there that this new episteme is most readily illustrated. In the analysis of the central themes in the writing of Rabbi Shneur Zalman it is argued that the point of view of the individual is a major element. His understanding of the relationship between man and God, his accounting for the soul and the value of divine worship are all viewed from this perspective. In all of the central themes of Rabbi Shneur Zalman’s theosophy it is shown that man’s perspective is dominant. And this, the author argues, constitutes a break with the tradition of former Jewish mysticism. It would, however, be premature to conclude on the basis of one author that this is a major characteristic of Hasidism. Therefore, the author closes with a call for more studies into the individualism of Hasidism

WHO IS RABBI MOSHE \u27YAẔ\u27?
No full textThe name Rabbi Moshe \u27Yaẕ\u27 (י\u27ץ = yishmerehu ẕuro) appears in two letters written, and published, by Rabbi Saul Berlin in 1789 and 1790, respectively, in connection with the Miẕpeh Yoqte\u27el controversy. Accepting the view that Rabbi Moshe is a fictional character, the author suggests the following explanation for the usage of this name: The opening section of the first letter, which has been overlooked by the scholars, provides a clue to the identification. It reads: \u27Moshe Bar \u27Eẕri\u27, a name which appears twice in the Talmud (Baba Batra 174b; Arakhin 23a). The Talmud relates the story of Moshe Bar \u27Eẕri who was the guarantor of his daughter-in-law\u27s Ketubah. His son, Rav Huna, a student, who was pressed hard for money, was unable to implement the advice given him: to divorce his wife so that she should collect money guaranteed by his father, following which they would remarry. Since Rav Huna was a priest, he would not be permitted to remarry his divorcee. The use of the talmudic name is therefore intended to allude to Saul Berlin\u27s special predicament, to the advantages and disadvantages of attempting to secure some assistance from his father, the venerable Ẕevi Hirsch Levin, Rabbi of the Berlin community. Indeed, his father endeavoured to help him, but to no avail. Saul Berlin lost his position as Rabbi in Frankfort, has been considered excommunicated by some, and finally had to go into exile; he died in London shortly after
