While Durkheim was not himself particularly observant his mother persuaded him to go to shul with her. Once there, the Rabbi noted his presence during the sermon by saying something to the effect of "Some say religion does not matter to modern minds- but look! today we have the great modern sociologist, Emile Durkheim, and of course he attends shul.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-1170546283724588722007-02-03T18:44:00.000-05:002007-02-03T18:44:00.000-05:00anonymous, see Rabbi Brown's dvar Torah on Tu B'Sh...anonymous, see Rabbi Brown's dvar Torah on Tu B'Shvat on the homepage at www.kallahmagazine.comAriella's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409352047101582583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-1170187367899117132007-01-30T15:02:00.000-05:002007-01-30T15:02:00.000-05:00Great site, I am bookmarking it!Keep it up!

Both Noach and Moshe are saved from the water in a "teva", both are isolated for forty days and forty nights, and both are "lawgivers" who establish covenants with Hashem based upon human responsibility to fulfill a corpus of commandments.Rabbi Joshua Maroofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585369620887846940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-1169954106264777832007-01-27T22:15:00.000-05:002007-01-27T22:15:00.000-05:00tu bshvat?tu bshvat?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-1169843181560677642007-01-26T15:26:00.000-05:002007-01-26T15:26:00.000-05:00Great insight in the comment by Rabbi M.Great insight in the comment by Rabbi M.Ariella's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409352047101582583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-1169832597515416432007-01-26T12:29:00.000-05:002007-01-26T12:29:00.000-05:00I had not considered migdal bavel in that light - ...I had not considered migdal bavel in that light - makes a lot of sense!Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-1169829833769035372007-01-26T11:43:00.000-05:002007-01-26T11:43:00.000-05:00I think your point is 100% on target, and is even ...I think your point is 100% on target, and is even alluded to by the Ramban in the beginning of Shemot, as well as Seforno in his introduction to the Torah. <BR/><BR/>A similar transition takes place after the mabul - society shifts from being an every-man-for-himself situation to an organized, cooperative (albeit idolatrous) model of civilization. Hence the introduction of the 7 mitsvot of Bnei Noach, and the story of the Migdal Bavel, which illustrates the potential dangers inherent in solidarity, i.e., group think and the rise of demagogues who manipulate the masses in line with their personal agendas.Rabbi Joshua Maroofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585369620887846940noreply@blogger.com
