In this book, Rabbi Angel discusses the distinguishing characteristics of the Sephardic approach to the observances and concepts of Judaism. Angel says that Sephardic Jewry has been especially influenced by the Golden Age of Spanish Jewry, and by the great mystics of 15th century Safed. Among the issues analyzed are the family, the application of Halakhah to modern life, confronting death, Israel and the nations, and conversion.

In the rush to meet the challenges and pressures of life, we don't always allow ourselves the time to contemplate the meaning of our realities. Why are we here? What do we hope to accomplish with our lives? Where are we headed? What is genuinely important? We live in an exciting, fast-paced world that can provide us with many good things. On some level, however, we find ourselves feeling stuck in a rat race that lacks ultimate meaning. This book sheds light on the obstacles of the rat race, stimulates thought about the direction of our lives, and helps us draw on our strengths to get beyond the mundane.

( A challenging look at two great Jewish philosophers, an...)

A challenging look at two great Jewish philosophers, and what their thinking means to our understanding of God, truth, revelation and reason. Moses Maimonides (1138–1204) is Jewish history's greatest exponent of a rational, philosophically sound Judaism. He strove to reconcile the teachings of the Bible and rabbinic tradition with the principles of Aristotelian philosophy, arguing that religion and philosophy ultimately must arrive at the same truth. Baruch Spinoza (1632–77) is Jewish history’s most illustrious "heretic." He believed that truth could be attained through reason alone, and that philosophy and religion were separate domains that could not be reconciled. His critique of the Bible and its teachings caused an intellectual and spiritual upheaval whose effects are still felt today. Rabbi Marc D. Angel discusses major themes in the writings of Maimonides and Spinoza to show us how modern people can deal with religion in an intellectually honest and meaningful way. From Maimonides, we gain insight on how to harmonize traditional religious belief with the dictates of reason. From Spinoza, we gain insight into the intellectual challenges which must be met by modern believers.

La America: The Sephardic Experience in the United States

(The story of the Jewish immigration to the United States ...)

The story of the Jewish immigration to the United States in the early years of the century has been fully described in a variety of publications. Less well known is the story of the more than 25,000 Levantine Sephardim who entered the United States between 1899 and 1925. La America, the Judeo-Spanish-language national weekly newspaper founded in 1910 is a welcome contribution to an understanding of this long neglected aspect of the American Jewish experience. Rabbi Angel discovers in the newspaper reports and editorials and brings to the readers" attention the fascinating heritage of American Sephardic Jews From The Jacket In researching an article about the Sephardim of the United States, which appeared in the American jewish Year Book of 1973, I scanned through a number of issues of La America, beginning in 1910. As I quickly reeled through the microfilms of the newspaper at the New York Public Library, I recognized at once that there was a brilliant, vibrant mind behind them. . . . In 1979, I obtained a set of the microfilms of La America and spent many hours each day reading and copying. The' work consumed me. Moise Gadol ; was editor of La America, the first udeo-Spanish newspaper published in the United States, and as I read his writings that had appeared from November 1910 until July 1925 I felt I was coming to know the man personally. . . . Moise Gadol was perhaps the greatest voice of the immigrant Sephardic community during the years in which La America appeared. He was a heroic figure, although seldom appreciated by many of his contemporaries. . . . This book is primarily a study of the Judeo-Spanish-speaking Sephardim of New York from 1910 until 1925 as seen through the eyes of Moise Gadol and his newspaper, La America. On its pages we can see firsthand the struggles of the Sephardim to adapt to a new way of life. This is the story of a people and of one man, the description of a sliver of history with ramifications that transcend time.

Loving Truth and Peace: The Grand Religious Worldview of Rabbi Benzion Uziel

(Rabbi Benzion Uziel (1880-1953) was one of the leading ra...)

Rabbi Benzion Uziel (1880-1953) was one of the leading rabbinic figures of his generation. He served as Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv-Jaffa and Salonika before becoming the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of the land of Israel (1938), a post he held until his death. A scion of great Sephardic rabbinical families, he was also well-steeped in the teachings of the Ashkenazic tradition. A staunch traditionalist, he was innovative and sensitive to the challenges to modernity. He was a religious Zionist who taught respect for all Jews?even those who were not religiously observant. He was deeply devoted to the particular teachings and norms of halakhic Judaism, while also maintaining a universalistic outlook and a genuine concern for the well-being of the non-Jewish population within Israel. Rabbi Uziel was a prolific author. His volumes of responsa, Mishpetei Uziel, are models of halakhic erudition, clarity and sensitivity. Various of his speeches, sermons, and addresses were included in a volume, Mikhmanei Uziel, reflecting not only Rabbi Uziel's worldview, but also the pressing issues within the Jewish community of his time. Shaarei Uziel is a two-volume work dealing with the laws of guardianship of orphans?and with the laws of charity in general. Hegyonei Uziel is a two-volume work in which Rabbi Uziel presents a general philosophy of Judaism. This book draws on the various published writings of Rabbi Uziel to present his grand religious worldview. He dealt with issues that are of continuing concern to the Jewish people, such as conversion, halakhah in a modern Jewish state, the role of women in Jewish law, Jewish nationalism, and tolerance. When Rabbi Uziel died in 1953, his funeral was attended by many thousands of people, Jews and non-Jews, Sephardim and Ashkenazim, religious and non-religious. He was a unique personality who won the respect and admiration of the diverse segments of society. While efforts have been made in recent years to republish some of his writings, Rabbi Uziel's teachings remain relatively u

When the leader of a venerable Torah academy passes away, a search committee begins to interview two candidates, both serious and committed Torah scholars. However, the resemblance ends there. One is the previous leader's son, a staunch traditionalist determined to keep to the old ways, while the other is a university graduate with a modern, open-minded perspective. The candidates hold opposing views about the role of the yeshiva, the ideals of Torah Judaism, the role of women in the community, and the future of Orthodoxy and the Jewish people. As they and their wives, colleagues, students, and donors address the committee, a dramatic story emerges about the ways in which a traditional community may embrace or reject the modern world.
