by Rabbi YY Rubinstein Introduction Judaism's beginning starts strangely enough without Jews. The Bible records twenty generations of humanity before the appearance of the First Jew, Abraham. His personality would act as a paradigm for his descendants who would eventually become the Jewish people. He was a religious revolutionary who refined his spirituality to such a degree that G-d spoke to him, in other words, he became a Prophet (although his wife Sarah became a greater Prophet) He was an iconoclast who openly challenged the universal beliefs of his time and insisted that there was only one G-d. He was stubbornly willing to give up his own life rather than compromise his beliefs. The people that would evolve from Abraham would have to manifest all of those qualities in order to perform the role that G-d had set for them. In fact the only time the Torah defines the nature of the Jewish people it is to identify them as a "Stiff necked" or stubborn. Still, if G-d required a people to carry a message through Crusade, Inquisition, Pogrom, and Holocaust, "stubbornness" would be the essential character trait. Orthodox Judaism believes that the Jewish people left the slavery of Egypt and rendezvoused with G-d at a mountain called Sinai. There, through Moses, they would be given the Torah. Moses was also taught the deeper meaning of that book and that explanation was passed from teacher to pupil and was known as the 'oral tradition'.

Rather, she was. Nonetheless, even Schlessinger's detractors were shocked by the news. "I can't tell you how significant this is," said fellow Jewish media star and "Kosher Sex" author Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, who has sparred with Schlessinger over her comments on homosexuality. "Dr. Laura always equated her morals and ethics with Jewish morals and ethics. That placed the American Jewish community in a real fix; on the one hand, she made Judaism very popular, on the other, she made it vilified and hated by many people." "I think Judaism is better off not being saddled and directly associated with Dr. Laura's means," he said, adding, "although she is still a Jew." Schlessinger's office said she was unavailable for comment. In her 25 years on radio, Schlessinger said she was moved "time and time again" by listeners who wrote and described that they had "joined a church, felt loved by God and that was my anchor." Michael Medved, a conservative, nationally syndicated, radio talk-show host, celebrated the Sabbath with Schlessinger about a year ago. "We had talked about having

You will find a few articles on Jewish Law and Transexuality here, as well as a link to a list specifically designed for Orthodox Jewish transexuals. I am always looking for more information on the subject and I encourage anyone interested in the subject matter to write to me. I also encourage Rabbis who actually have looked into the law on the subject to write to me. I am not interested in posting opinions of Rabbis without research behind them but I will consider posting well researched pieces that do not necessarily agree with my opinion on the subject.

    Orthodox Judaism
    Doctrines Orthodox Judaism is the direct successor of early Rabbinic or Talmudical Judaism (See Talmudical Judaism), holding that the "Oral Torah" particularly as it is contained in the Bavli (or Babylonian Talmud) has divine authority equal to that of the "Written Torah" in the Hebrew Bible. In addition to the ancient literature of the Talmudic period, orthodoxy gives special authority to a number of mediaeval commentaries and codes of which the works of Rashi (1040-1105), Maimonides (1135-1204) and Joseph Caro's Shulhan Arukh (1565) are the most used. Another important source of halakhic authority is the mediaeval and modern Responsa literature, that is, collections of "answers" (Responsa) given to specific questions by scholars, some of whom, like Maimonides, gained a worldwide reputation during their lifetime. In the orthodox tradition practice in relation to circumcision, the dietary laws, the sabbath, the calendar, the role of women, marriage, the use of Hebrew in worship, the study of the Talmud and the rabbinate, is of such importance that it to some extent outweighs deviations in theological belief. Hence a Jew can remain a Jew and at the same time absorb himself in Kabbalah mysticism (see Kabbalah, Hasidism), or even give up his belief in God altogether, provided he observes orthodox practice. Where observing a law conflicts with the saving of life (pikkuah nefesh), however, the law must be broken. The only exceptions are the three cardinal laws forbidding idolatry, incest and murder, which must be obeyed even if the consequence is certain death, that is, martyrdom.

    The path to Orthodoxy is long and labyrinthine. Does G-d exist? Did He give the Torah? Did He also provide an oral tradition? Like many Jews rediscovering their heritage, I had to confront and resolve each of these challenges. Eventually, we pre-ba’alei tshuva arrive at the denominational crossroads. Convinced of the Torah’s Divine origin and aware that, to be decipherable, the Pentateuch must have been given with an oral explanation, I sought the Jewish movement in possession of that ancient Mesorah. Identifying the Historical Trunk Working chronologically, I began with the Orthodox. About two thousand years before the Reform and Conservative movements arrived on the scene, Orthodox sages recorded the claim that the oral tradition was received from G-d at Sinai in 1312 B.C.E. and passed down intact to the sages of the Mishna.[1] Later talmudic texts affirm belief in a G-d-given oral tradition[2], as do the writings of medieval and post-medieval Orthodox scholars.[3] Although the Sadducees and Karaites rejected the oral tradition of the Orthodox, secular scholars concur that these groups were short-lived splinters off the historical mainstream of Orthodoxy.[4] Until today, Orthodoxy claims, the oral tradition has been passed intact, parent-to-child and teacher-to-student.[5] Theoretically, the Orthodox could possess the original oral tradition.

    What can Jewish Orthodoxy teach us?
    by Elizabeth A. Lerner
    I am a Unitarian Universalist in the same way I am an American—born to it, out of a colorful ancestral stew. My ancestors arrived here from Poland, Russia, and Italy within the same twenty-year span. Roman Catholic on one side of the family, Jewish on the other, I am a perfect candidate for Unitarian Universalism—which is exactly why my parents chose this faith and raised me and my sister in it. Unitarian Universalism's religious pluralism, as so many of us have found, is a good match for American cultural pluralism. Also in Bookshelf: Books by UU authors by Kenneth Sutton and Vermont's civil union wars by Christopher L.Walton
    For a long time, becoming an American meant that people shed their old family traditions and cultures and put on the glad rags of a new American self. And for a long time, becoming a Unitarian Universalist meant rejecting the religious traditions of one's parents and grandparents. Lately, though, many of us have been trying to renew connections to our roots and honor them in our lives. But just as an interest in genealogy doesn't mean someone is moving back to their ancestors' homeland, Unitarian Universalists interested in older religious traditions aren't necessarily backsliding. We simply want to know where we came from, and to integrate parts of that heritage into where we are now. My father's religious upbringing was very different from mine: He prayed three times a day, knew Hebrew very well, and grew up among Yiddish-speaking aunts and uncles. As an Orthodox Jew, he wore a

    Orthodox Judaism is the core of Judaism and is characterized by:
    • Strict adherence to Halakha (codes of Jewish law). A range of beliefs towards modern culture which vary from careful acceptance of some parts of modernity , to outright rejection of parts of modernity considered immoral. A range of beliefs towards modern forms of historical scholarship and text study. Ultra-Orthodox, Hasidic and some Modern Orthodox Jews hold that almost all such forms of learning are forbidden and heretical. However, many Modern Orthodox Jews hold that modern forms of historical scholarship and text study may be used in some or all areas of Jewish thought. A fundamentalist (in the technical sense of the term) teaching and acceptance of Jewish principles of faith Orthodoxy can roughly be classified in these groups: Modern Orthodox Judaism Ultra-Orthodox Judaism and Hasidic Judaism

    Modern Orthodox Judaism
    Modern Orthodox Judaism is a philosophy that attempts to adapt Orthodox Judaism and interaction with the surrounding gentile, modern world. Modern Orthodoxy stresses that if guided by Jewish values, this interaction is in fact desirable and intellectually profitable. Two of the founders of Modern Orthodoxy are rabbis Samson Raphael Hirsch (1808-1888) and Azriel Hildesheimer (1820-1899). Rabbi Hirsch developed the motto of Modern Orthodoxy that is still used today, Torah im Derekh Eretz , which if literally translated from the Hebrew would mean "Torah with the way of the (surrounding gentile) world". This phrase means that one should not only accept as necessary, but hold to be positive the integration of traditional Judaism with secular education. At that time Hirsch's definition of secular education included not only the basic academic topics and the sciences, but also German literature, philosophy and culture. Modern Orthodox Jews believe that Jews should hold fast to the traditional Jewish principles of faith , and should live by a relaxed standard traditional Jewish laws and customs . They are more flexible on these points that Ultra-Orthodox Judaism , but more rigid on these points than any of the admittedly non-Orthodox branches of Judaism Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Modest reforms within Jewish practice

    Today's Orthodox Judaism
    With rising numbers and increasingly stringent observance, Orthodoxy is a "great success" story even as it faces challenges.
    By Michael Kress
    When Connecticut senator Joseph Lieberman became the Democratic vice presidential candidate in 2000, the public suddenly turned its attention on Orthodox Judaism, with pundits and journalists explaining the dos and don'ts of Shabbat and dietary laws. But Lieberman himself eschewed the label "Orthodox" in favor of the less denominational "observant," and many within the Orthodox community disliked the fact that Lieberman became, in the world's eyes, the example of the Orthodox life. Lieberman, in many ways, represents an Orthodox Judaism of decades past, one which integrated more seamlessly than today's Orthodoxy with mainstream, secular society. Orthodox Jews since the 1970s have grown greatly in numbers, self-confidence, and public profile; at the same time, they have shifted to the right socially and religiously, refusing to make what they see as the compromises that their parents' and grandparents' generations made to fit into American society. The outward signs might be subtle but they are not insignificantthe fact that Lieberman doesn't wear a yarmulke and that he sometimes votes in the Senate on Shabbat, even if he does walk home afterward. It is less likely that tomorrow's Orthodox politician will do likewise, a tension that came to the fore when Lieberman was criticized by some Jews during the campaign for drinking water during the
