Fresh Fruit and Vintage Wine: The Ethics and Wisdom of the Aggada, by Rabbi Yitzchak Blau '86

 

Aggada represents a uniquely important aspect of the Talmudic corpus. While legal sections of Talmud constitute the bedrock of Jewish life and religious practice, aggadic sections explore the rich world of Jewish ethics, psychology, wisdom, philosophy, and theology. Fresh Fruit and Vintage Wine: The Ethics and Wisdom of the Aggada opens a window into this world for scholar and layman alike.

 

Rabbi Yitzchak Blau has taught at the Yeshivah of Flatbush and Yeshivat Hamivtar, and written for the Yeshivat Har Etzion Virtual Beit Midrash. He currently serves as the Rosh Kollel at Yeshivat Shvilei Hatorah in Jerusalem. To order with SPECIAL 20% OFF  discount $19.96.

 


 

The Poetry of Prayer, by Rabbi Avi Baumol '88

 

Often we find it difficult to concentrate on the prayers we recite, due partly to a lack of understanding of the biblical poetry in the tefillot.  The Poetry of Prayer aims to unlock the mystery of the various psalms which comprise the tefillah. To order. Available also in Har Etzion office.

 

Rabbi Avi Baumol was first introduced to the study of Tehillim (Psalms) in his first year Bible course at Yeshiva University by Rabbi Mordechai Cohen who inspired him to begin to appreciate the words of the Bible from a poetic perspective as well as a literal one. He continued to be influenced by his Rabbis and colleagues during his studies in Israel at Yeshivat Har Etzion, and ultimately began to write his Tehillim class as part of the Virtual Beit Midrash project.

COMMITMENT AND COMPLEXITY - Jewish Wisdom in an Age of Upheaval
by Rav Yehuda Amital

 

For more than five decades, Rabbi Yehuda Amital, head of Israel's largest hesder yeshiva, Yeshivat Har Etzion, has imparted his penetrating, clearheaded and inspiring teachings to thousands of students.  Innovative, honest and deeply humane, Rabbi Amital communicates love of Torah and concern for the Jewish people in all his words and deeds, imbuing them with his deep moral and religious passion. 

 

This volume distills Rabbi Amital's thoughts on the critical events and issues of our times.  With acute sensitivity to the moment and a broad historical perspective, Rabbi Amital's teachings combine youthful vitality and mature wisdom to produce insights of profound relevance and originality.

 

Rabbi Yehuda Amital was born in Hungary in 1924 and attended cheder and yeshiva there. During the Holocaust he survived a Nazi labor camp, but his parents and siblings perished in Auschwitz. After his liberation in late 1944, he immigrated to the Land of Israel, studied at the Hebron Yeshiva, and received his rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer. While in yeshiva he joined the Haganah, and fought in the battles of Latrun and the Galilee during Israel's War of Independence. An educator for over five decades, Rabbi Amital was among the creators of the hesder yeshivot, which provide a framework for religious students to both study Torah and serve in Israel's military. He established Yeshivat Har Etzion in 1968 and has headed it for forty years, building it into an internationally recognized center of advanced Torah scholarship and service to the Jewish people.

MOSES: ENVOY OF GOD, ENVOY OF HIS PEOPLE
by Rav Mosheh Lichtenstein

 

Moses, master prophet and teacher, devoted the lion’s share of his career to his role as leader of Israel. MOSES: ENVOY OF GOD, ENVOY OF HIS PEOPLE follows the path of Moses’ development as a leader from the moment he appears on the scene as a young lad in Egypt until his departing farewell address to his flock. The book details crisis and commitment, frustration and doubt, selfless devotion and identification, along with trust and alienation. All of the relevant episodes, from the first encounter between Moses and the quarreling slaves to his dealings with the second generations are analyzed and examined, from the perspective of the relationships between the leader and the people. The method of interpretation is based upon a literary analysis of the text that attempts to delve into the inner world of the leader and his interactions with the people. The result is a Medrash oriented approach that creates a fascinating combination of textual analysis and emotional insight. Special 20% off regular price for VBM subscribers - $28.

Sefarim by Rosh HaYeshiva HaRav Yehuda Amital

JEWISH VALUES IN A CHANGING WORLD. Author: Rav Yehuda Amital.
Special sale: 20% off.  Price in USA $15.16; Price in Israel FOR VBM SUBSCRIBERS 88 NIS

This volume encapsulates Rabbi Amital's educational philosophy. It discusses both general issues, such as the importance of natural morality and what it means to fear God in today's world, as well as deeply personal matters, such as dealing with crisis and developing the ability to make decisions independently. While highlighting the importance of expressing one's individuality, Rabbi Amital also emphasizes the need to be part of the community. Rabbi Amital's philosophy is particularly marked by its insistence on the importance of the interpersonal commandments, of being a mensch, and of respecting all people created in God's image. He advocates a fully human engagement in religious life, believing that religious life does not contradict one's humanity, but rather must flow from one's humanity. This work combines the freshness and vigor of youth with the maturity and wisdom of age to produce an ideology for our times.

Special sale: 20% off. Price in USA  $15.96; Price in Israel FOR VBM SUBSCRIBERS 93 NIS

Sixty years after the annihilation of European Jewry, the philosophical and existential confrontation with the memory of the Holocaust is only intensifying. In this context, there is particular significance to the views of thinkers who experienced the horrors of the Holocaust first-hand. Rabbi Yehudah Amital, who has served for almost forty years as head of one of Israel’s leading yeshivot, Yehivat Har Etzion, is a Holocaust survivor. Throughout his career, he has attempted to address the Holocaust and its ramifications on both the educational and spiritual levels. Rabbi Amital’s confrontation with the memory of the Holocaust is characterized by authenticity, honest and courage. This book analyzes his original religious approach, against the background of other views, especially those of his fellow Religious Zionists. This powerful work presents the reader with the direct and painful grappling of a trailblazing educator and thinker with the most terrible event in human history.

Between Religious Experience and Religious Commitment - Five Addresses on Youth in Crisis
by HaRav Yehuda Amital

In recent years, Religious Zionist youth in Israel have experienced a spiritual upheaval, one that has assumed almost crisis proportions. Exposed to trends in both global culture and Israeli society, they find themselves wavering between extremes: radical individualism vs. community-consciousness; mitzva observance based on commitment and obligation vs. the search for subjective meaning; and religiosity based on knowledge vs. religiosity based on experience. In this booklet, Rav Yehuda Amital, rosh ha-yeshiva of Yeshivat Har Etzion, examines these trends and charts a meaningful path towards confronting the educational challenges of our generation.

MUSAR FOR MODERNS. Author: Rabbi Elyakim Krumbein
Special sale: 20% off.  Price in USA $15.16; Price in Israel FOR VBM SUBSCRIBERS 88 NIS

Musar, one of the elevating and enriching fields of traditional Judaism, is the branch Torah which is devoted to ethical self-improvement, through study and conscientious practice. While Musar’s emphasis on personal spiritual growth is more timely than ever, most people think of it as belonging to Eastern Europe of a century ago. Western society seems to have erected roadblocks which make the task seem formidable. Can this practice be tackled by Jews who are connected to modernity? Musar for Moderns claims that it can, and must. The book endeavors to guide the reader in trying to overcome the obstacles to serious spiritual progress, while sensitively addressing the concerns and conflicts that typify the intellectual climate in our materialistic, media-saturated century. Revised and expanded version of the popular Yeshivat Har Etzion's Virtual Beit Midrash series.
