It is the 1st of Tishrei - what we call Rosh Hashannah.Ezra and Nehemiah join hands and arrange a huge gathering in which the Torah is brought out of the Temple and read and translated. The text emphasizes that Ezra took special measures to have the people understand the sacred text - he translated and explained it - and that the people did indeed comprehend. This is the beginning, the first step of Torah Study as a key tool of Jewish life and continuity.

TRADITION's subscribers have already received our special Spring 2025 issue, containing content commemorating R. Aharon Lichtenstein zt”l, timed with his 10th yahrzeit marked this month. Five years ago we were pleased to publish Rabbanit Tonya Mittelman's essay, “Women in the Torah World in the Thought of Rabbi Lichtenstein” (Summer 2020). Toni, a distinguished educator, is a daughter of R. Lichtenstein. In this episode of our podcast, Mali Brofsky talks with Mittelman, who shares insights from her father’s career, as well as her own experiences as an educator, regarding women’s participation in high-level Jewish learning and religious practice. She emphasizes that her father's endorsement of women's learning was rooted in his deep trust in both Torah and in women, explaining that he believed women and men have similar spiritual needs in this regard. The conversation explores the challenges and opportunities in providing comprehensive Jewish education for women, as well as their practice of mitzvot, with Toni emphasizing that her biggest challenge as an educator is transforming her students from passive to active participants in halakhic education and practice. Regarding religious practice, Mittelman notes that women should maximize participation wherever possible. On the question of the frustration often experienced by women in these areas, she asserts that there remains a difference between men and women in some religious contexts, that this reality should be openly discussed, and that women should trust the system, pointing out that these challenges are part of a broader set of life demands experienced by men and women alike. The discussion concludes by encouraging further progress in women’s religious participation while acknowledging the ongoing tensions within the traditional religious framework. Watch a video recording of the conversation. Tonya Mittelman is the Principal of Ulpanat Tzvia Sdot Negev. Mali Brofsky, a member of TRADITION's editorial board, is a senior faculty member at MMY and a social worker in private practice.The post R. Lichtenstein on Women's Torah Study first appeared on Tradition Online.

The Rebbe advises a young man not to delay a shidduch in order to continue Torah study. Citing the Alter Rebbe and the custom of Jerusalem, he encourages finding a match that supports learning after marriage, as many successfully do. He challenges the idea that unmarried learning is superior and urges maintaining this positive tradition. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/008/5369

Join us as we explore the journey of "floaters," individuals seeking true fulfillment amidst the often rigid frameworks of Daf Yomi, Oiraisa, and Mishnayas. Discover how the teachings of Rashi and the wisdom of this week's parasha offer hope and potential solutions, guiding our search for a study method that truly resonates with the soul.Drawing on Rashi's interpretation of "place these laws in front of them," we challenge the notion of rote memorization and instead advocate for an engaging and comprehensible approach to Torah study. Imagine Torah teachings as a well-prepared meal, inviting and methodically laid out for all to enjoy. Through this lens, we delve into the tradition of interpreting Chazal, emphasizing clarity and depth as the pillars of meaningful learning.Structured and clear Torah study isn't just beneficial—it's transformative. By examining the works of Rashi, Tosfos, and the Rambam, we highlight the joy in grasping complex ideas and the profound connection that comes with true understanding. The discussion underscores the importance of foundational knowledge and a methodical approach, likening it to a perfectly arranged feast that nurtures both the mind and spirit.
