Can We Ever Know Enough About the Purpose of Life?
This subject of the purposefulness of things must be pursued without rest, and every day should bring some new observation, or some deeper perception in the old observations. - Rejoice, O Youth

I can assure you that we have people like this with us [in Israel] as well” Title: Heckler in the Heights Location: Washington Heights, Manhattan Document: The New York Times Time: March 1960 T he founding of the State of Israel in 1948 highlighted the clash between religion and modern secular democracy. And so it was at Yeshiva University on March 16, 1960, when Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion arrived to deliver a speech to a largely religious audience as part of his nine-day US trip.

  Is It Proper For A Man To Wear A Wedding Band? By   Jewish Press Staff  All Credit goes to them  -   1 Heshvan 5783 – October 26, 2022   0 Share on Facebook   Tweet on Twitter       Photo Credit: 123rf.com Is It Proper For A Man To Wear A Wedding Band?   Rav Moshe Feinstein ( Igros Moshe Evan HaEzer , v. 4, 32:2) discusses whether it is permissible for a man to wear a wedding band, citing the prohibition of “ Bechukasayhem lo selechu ,” the prohibition against “walking in the way” of non-Jews, meaning following their laws and rules.

Studies Show Jews’ Genetic Similarity

-
By  Nicholas Wade  ALL CREDIT GOES TO HIM AND THE NEW YORK TIMES June 9, 2010   Jewish communities in Europe and the Middle East share many genes inherited from the ancestral Jewish population that lived in the Middle East some 3,000 years ago, even though each community also carries genes from other sources — usually the country in which it lives. That is the conclusion of two new genetic surveys, the first to use genome-wide scanning devices to compare many Jewish communities around the world. A major surprise from both surveys is the genetic closeness of the two Jewish communities of Europe, the Ashkenazim and the Sephardim. The Ashkenazim thrived in Northern and Eastern Europe until their devastation by the Hitler regime, and now live mostly in the United States and Israel. The Sephardim were exiled from Spain in 1492 and from Portugal in 1497 and moved to the Ottoman Empire, North Africa and the Netherlands. The two genome surveys extend earlier studies based just on...
