Holding the Torah Upright

Leave a Comment

By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff – RabbiKaganoff.com

Question #1:

“I was recently in a shul where they took out the sefer Torah, opened it and carried it all around the shul, showing everyone with a yad where the beginning of the keri’ah is. I had never seen this before, and was wondering if this is a common practice. Is it mentioned in halachic sources, or does it simply manifest someone’s enthusiasm?”

Question #2:

Is there any halachic basis for the custom on Simchas Torah of reversing the sefer Torah so that the writing faces away from the magbiah?

Leave a Comment

kraus(Cleveland Jewish News)

At age 92, Cantor Moshe Kraus still travels widely to speak about his experiences during the Holocaust.

“When people ask me, I can’t say no,” he said in a telephone interview from his home in Ottawa, Ontario. “Thank G-d I’m still alive, so I tell them the story. I will tell it as long as I can speak and I have the opportunity to travel.”

Kraus, a world-renowned cantor and a survivor of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany, will be a special guest of Oheb Zedek-Cedar Sinai Synagogue in Lyndhurst when it honors its members who are Holocaust survivors at a series of events Saturday, Aug. 24, and Sunday, Aug. 25.

Coming to Cleveland … Gali’s Couture Wigs

Leave a Comment

GalisWigs

With gratitude to Hashem, we debut our highly-anticipated line of Gali’s Couture Wigs. Inspired by and named after our daughter Gali.

Our Story: On July 26th, 2010, our daughter Gali (short for Avigail) fell in the pool in Miami and drowned. While her 20-year Hatzalah veteran daddy performed CPR on her, her mommy vowed to Hashem to take upon herself a very holy, big and powerful mitzvah…. The mitzvah of Hair Covering. At the very moment that the promise came from her lips, the Master of the Universe mercifully granted them their daughter’s life back.

When Goodness Rises to Greatness (on Abraham Lincoln)

Abraham_Lincoln_November_1863(Ed: You may ask why is Jonathan Rosenblum, a well-known frum writer going on about Honest Abe in the middle of Elul in the Yated?!)

by Jonathan Rosenblum
Jerusalem Post, Yated Ne’eman
July 26, 2013

For those who subscribe to Thomas Carlyle’s Great Man Theory of History, two proofs stand above all others in the past two centuries, at least on the positive side: Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill. As president, Lincoln both succeeded in saving the Union and ending slavery, even as Northerners were almost equally divided over which was the proper end of the war.
