How Did the British Cope With the Arab Revolt of 1936-39 and The Evian Conference
How Did the British Cope With the Arab Revolt of 1936-39 and The Evian Conference
Mar 9, 2022
18:53
TFJ Series 2: Episode 2 The Arab revolt resulted in widespread violence across the land aimed at both Jewish and British targets. British officer and Christian Zionist, Orde Wingate trained Hagana fighters how to defend themselves. These troops assisted the British in quelling the Arab Revolt. These very same troops instructed by the British would become members of a Jewish revolt against the British less than ten years later. As the world was shocked by the atrocities performed against the Jews featured in the news after the Anschluss in March 1938, there was pressure in Washington to make a humanitarian effort on behalf of the refugees. America announced the Evian Conference to take place in July 1938 at Lake Geneva composed of 32 countries to alleviate the refugee crises. The conference was a total farce as no country, with the exception of the Dominican Republic, was prepared to open their borders and assist the refugees. This sent a clear message to Hitler that he would do whatever he wished and the suffering of millions of humans in Europe did not interest the world.

TFJ Series 2: Episode 3 The British convened conferences to quell the Arab revolt and seek a lasting solution between the Arabs and the Jews. But unless the Arabs received everything they demanded, they were unwilling to negotiate. This created a pattern that was still being followed over sixty years later to the frustration of President Bill Clinton. Because of Palestinian violence and fear that Arab dissatisfaction would have detrimental consequences upon the British empire, the British implemented a policy of appeasement with the Arabs resulting in the White Paper of 1939, which was a sellout of British promises, and locked Palestine’s door to European Jewry who so desperately needed to escape the claws of the Nazis.

If you care for your fellow person you will wish to correct them when they are erring. This is not just the domain of parents, but of any loving and considerate individual – yet a challenge in a society deeply entrenched in the belief of “mind your own business.” Criticism will only work if it is properly dispensed and TFJ takes a look at effective methodology.

The Controversy Surrounding Deir Yassin
The Controversy Surrounding Deir Yassin
Oct 12, 2022
17:36
Following the UN vote for partition in November 1947, the British informed that they would not carry out on the policy voted on by the General Assembly, and they would remain in Palestine until May 1948. The British would no longer intervene in any fighting between Arabs and Jews, but they would still steadfastly enforce the ban on weapons for Jews. The Hagana was planning its attack to liberate Jewish residents under siege in Jerusalem. The road leading to Jerusalem was subject to sniper fire from Arab terrorist. The Irgun and Lechi wished to assist their brethren in Jerusalem and attacked the village of Deir Yassin and encountered fiercer resistance than expected. Pinned down, the fighters tossed hand grenades resulting in civilian losses.

From the Brooklyn streets of Brownsville and East Flatbush in the 1940’s, a 10 year old public school boy immersed in stickball, basketball and with dreams of becoming a shortstop for his beloved Brooklyn Dodgers, enters a fledgling yeshiva katana eager for new students. While his generation is leaving Orthodoxy in droves, his loving rebbeim ignite a spark within him that grows in intensity as he progresses in his learning at Yeshivas Chaim Berlin, under the tutelage of HaRav Hutner and in Ner Yisroel Yeshiva under his rebbe, Rav Yaacov Weinberg. After his marriage, the young Rabbi Nota Schiller, moves to Eretz Yisroel to continue his learning in Rav Mordechai Elefant’s Itri Yeshiva in Jerusalem. After a “chance” meeting with two secular, very bright young brothers (one a student at Harvard the other at Columbia), who are in Israel for a year on a secular Zionist study program, he and his chavrusah, Rabbi Noach Weinberg, make a decision that will change the Jewish World. They’ll start a yeshiva for young Jewish men with limited or no background in traditional Jewish learning. Despite a promising start and the strong encouragement of the Poseik Hador, Rav Yosef Elyashiv, they suffer a number of financial setbacks from a skeptical Orthodox Jewish World, which has almost given up hope of a revival of Halachic Jewry and they’re forced to close. But, after a few years of indefatigable fundraising efforts, they manage to convince a few visionary philanthropists to share their dream and initially fund their enterprise. With just a handful of eager students and a passionate and stellar rabbinic staff they launch what will become the forefather of the Baal Teshuvah Movement that will sweep the Jewish World and change it forever.

Yeshivas Ohr Somayach located in the heart of Jerusalem, is an educational institution for young Jewish English-speaking men.

Respect for Others - The Month of Iyar - Seasons of the Moon
Respect for Others - The Month of Iyar - Seasons of the Moon
Apr 20, 2021
3:06
Nineteen hundred years ago, the twenty-five thousand pupils of Rebbe Akiva all died in the days of the Omer between Pesach and Shavuot. This was a punishment for not treating each other with enough respect. The majority of the days Omer are in the month of Iyar. Thus Iyar is a time for us to work on improving respect for others. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O’Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector’s item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich’s Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony’s Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

Pesach has matza, the Seder, the four cups of wine, "Ma nishtana.…" Succot has the Four Species and the succah. Shavuot, however, has no single identifying mitzva, no recognizable landmark in its scenery. Why? In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976).

Gaza Special - Why the World Hates the Jews
Gaza Special - Why the World Hates the Jews
May 20, 2021

The recent events in Israel show that anti-Semitism is rife not just in Gaza, Akko, and Jerusalem but in the civilized capitals of the world. Why won't anti-Semitism go away? In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O’Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector’s item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States.

Prince Charles and before him the sons of George V were all circumcised. In fact, circumcision was widely performed on British middle - and upper-class male infants from the 1890s through the 1940s. Things have changed a bit since then... Why do Jews circumcize their sons?

All right-thinking people in this world want shalom – peace. Why is it that almost since the beginning of time, peace has been elusive and often illusory. Shabbat holds the answer.

Would it be mutar for a biological man to say he identifies as a woman in order to pay a smaller premium? 49:57 How could two opposite statement be true? 52:38 In terms of Tu B’Av, how do we understand the gemara’s reasons for a public shidduch day so to speak and how did times change? 58:56 How is it that Targum Onkelos was min HaShamyim? 1:02:29 Do we make Yam Hagadol bracha on the Pacific Ocean? 1:03:24 Why wouldn’t the whole world be made Jewish such that everyone would have the maximum opportunity for closeness to Hashem? 1:07:02 if the Talmud discusses 8 genders of Judaism, what does that mean? 1:08:37 Why do we accept Kabbalah today in Halacha? 1:13:09 If I can’t finish slichos, tachanun, general tefillah or the like, am I’m missing out on certain forgiveness capacity? 1:16:43 How do we relate to the destruction of the Temple if we never experienced it and why would our lowly generation be fortunate enough to have it rebuilt? 1:22:53 Why do Ashkenazim and Sephardim differ in the way they cover their eyes in Shema? 1:24:50 Kesubos is the current masechta in Daf Yomi cycle. A lot of the material discussed is about rape and other material that some may find disturbing. Can the Rav share some advice on how to approach this masechta with the right perspective. Alternatively, if learning this masechta will bother or discourage someone everyday, is it better to just learn something else? 1:30:16 How does it work that Torah is the ultimate healer but the Rambam states that one needs other outlets? 1:32:30 Why do we follow certain halachos today that some rabbanim wouldn’t have approved of? 1:36:25 Rashi in Moed Katon explains the practice of the Beis Din placing a stone on someone’s coffin as a זכר בעלמא of stoning someone who died while excommunicated.

Comments? [email protected] Subscribe to the Rabbi Breitowitz Q&A Podcast at https://plnk.to/rbq&a Submit questions for the Q&A with Rabbi Breitowitz https://forms.gle/VCZSK3wQJJ4fSd3Q7 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/OhrSomayach/videos 4:00 - What exactly constitutes a “ben Eretz Yisrael” vs. “ben Chutz l’Aretz” for how many days of Yom Tov to keep? 9:06 - Is there any source for the idea that religious jews need to have marital relations through a hole in the sheet? 11:03 - When we left Egypt, what happened to the Mixed Multitude and why were they not included in the census? 15:30 - There is a biblical obligation to listen to the Rabbis. It would seem that when a Rabbi says something, it would have effect of torah law. So when a person doesn’t turn in high school homework on time, that would be a biblical violation. How much agency is a person allowed to have? If I’m a Trump guy, can a rabbi force me to vote for Biden? Can he tell me who to marry or not to marry? How does this work in practice? 25:42 - On the pasuk in Devarim where Moshe is describing that it was his decision to send the meraglim into Eretz Yisrael, and many meforshim comment that this seemingly contradicts the earlier description of the story where it was Hashem’s decision. I recently read the Abarbanel’s description where he seems to say that he was deliberately lying because he didn’t want them to turn against Hashem since this episode caused the entire generation to perish in the midbar. How can the Abarbanel make this interpretation that Moshe was lying? In other contexts we might have said it came from a reform rabbi. How does he have the authority to do this, and why is it not a problematic thing to say? 30:35 - Why is kilayim a seemingly unique mitzvah in that we are not allowed to make it but we can benefit from it, unlike kashrut, shatnez, etc.? 34:23 - From the Hasidic community where a lot of women shave their hair, which became an attack against the Orthodox community, what is the Rav’s take on the concept [of shaving]? If someone grew up with that Mesorah, would they be allowed to change such a thing? 38:17 - Could the Rav give some insight on the covid vaccines, vaccines in general, etc.? 43:44 - Are observant Jews allowed to eat in non-kosher certified, but strictly vegetarian restaurants, assuming one is not eating leafy vegetables for example? 46:53 - About the Gemara in Chagigah, could Elisha b. Avuyah (“Acher”) done teshuva? How are we to understand the Gemara’s aftermath of his death where R’ Meyer and R’ Yochana see smoke and fire rising from his grave? 53:05 - What are the parameters for what a person can use their maaser ksafim, their tithe? Specifically, can one give out money to Israeli soldiers as it might be good for Haredi public relations? 56:50 - How did Tumas Niddah work during the times of the Beis HaMikdash? When a woman, married or unmarried, became a Niddah, and everything she touched became contaminated, how would that work? How did life look? 1:01:06 - About the luchos shnios. 1:08:02 - How is someone who would want their children to grow up in Israel, are there options, are they allowed to have hobbies, are they encouraged, what is the move for such parents? Is this a system they should try and fit their kids into, or are there other things they should be exploring? 1:14:24 - Are non-misdemeanor traffic offense a chillul Hashem if one can pay the fine without needing to appear in court? 1:16:37 - Is there a problem with saying Hashem’s name in a non-pasuk or non-bracha. 1:17:49 - Should terrorists receive the death penalty? 1:20:05 - Is it permitted to daven for something you want but that, if it happens, it could be dangerous? 1:22:37 - Are there any ways to validate the “flat-Earth” view from the Torah or are there any Torah personalities that took such a view? 1:25:45 - How should bnei Torah look at the Pope, Dali Lama, or other religious figures who seem to be doing great things for the world or at least their communities but are likely worshiping idols, not ones that are evil or in context of their relationship with the Jews but promoting good things for the world? 1:30:23 - (Follow up) Would Jews living their Judaism as superficially as [only the practices of their forefathers] be lacking in a certain way, or is it different? 1:32:27 - Regarding teshuva, in general, how does one begin, and specifically, how does someone do teshuva or get a full tikkun for wasting seed? What about someone who had a relationship with one of the prohibitions, arayos or a niddah? 1:36:33 - What advice does the Rav have for children, or parents of children, who just can’t seem to wake up in the morning for minyan?

Should we try to be mekarev them? 37:14 What should our attitude be towards area of halacha that are seemingly less effective or suitable in a modern society compared with today’s secular laws, specifically in regards to contracts and financial matters. Should our attitude be that we are not appreciating the halacha properly, or should we acknowledge it’s not ideal and be extra hopeful for Mashiach to come so a Sanhedrin can make some updates. 42:36 Why is Rabbi Jonathan Sacks not so accepted in the frum world? 49:36 In uncensored Gemara Avoda Zara, it mentions that Jesus was not real, is this true? 53:20: What is a heavenly decree and when exactly are they made?
