OPINION & COMMENT

If conversion to Judaism means something, it must be performed by people who have some demonstrated sensitivity to the line between Jew and non-Jew, and who can determine the essence of what is shared by all Jews.

Producing Modern Editions of Rishonim
by HaRav Moshe Rosner

We are privileged nowadays to be blessed with an abundance of Torah SheBaal Peh that previous generations never had. This includes many commentaries of Rishonim never before published, such as some parts of the Me'iri, the Tosafos HaRosh on Pesochim, the Ritva on Shabbos, and many others.

by HaRav Y. D. Rosenberg

There is only a fine line dividing the efforts a person is permitted to make in his life from the faith in the aid of the Supreme Being that must guide his life. This line also separates those who tangibly feel such a Divine Power and see His intervention in their daily life, from those whose faith is a more general, cloudy realization.

by L. Jungerman

"You shall not leave his corpse on the tree, for he that is hanged is a curse of Hashem." Rashi notes that it is a disgrace for the King, for man was formed in the divine image, and Israel are Hashem's children.
