Thoughts on Parashat Toldot

The Torah is not a collection of ethical role models given us to simply follow. While the stories of the entire Hebrew Bible contain a lot of role models very few qualify as ethical ones. What we find there are often political and leadership role models – like Moses, Joshua, Kings – David, Hezekiah or Josiah etc. Thus, Jewish ethics is not the ethics of role models, like it is the case of Christianity. Jewish ethics is[…]

Refleksja nad paraszą Toldot

Tora nie jest zbiorem etycznych wzorców osobowych, które mielibyśmy po prostu naśladować. Chociaż historie całej Biblii hebrajskiej zawierają wiele tego rodzaju wzorców, bardzo niewiele z nich kwalifikuje się jako etyczne. To, co tam znajdujemy, to często wzorce polityczne i przywódcze – jak Mojżesz, Jozue, królowie – Dawid, Ezechiasz czy Jozjasz itd. Etyka żydowska nie jest więc etyką wzorców do naśladowania,[…]

Rabbi Mirski’s Response to the October 7th Mass Murder

Though I walk through a valley of deepest darkness, I fear no harm, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me. (Psalms 23:4)

This verse is one of the oldest expressions of the idea that the absence of fear is a fundamental source of spiritual and psychological strength. This strength is particularly important in all turbulent times, including the times we live today. We have more expressions of the same concept of strength in our[…]

Izraelu, NIE bój się!

Odpowiedź rabina Mirskiego na masowy mord z 7 października.

I choćbym szedł po dolinie cieni, nie będę się bał złego, bo Ty ze mną; laska Twoja i podpora Twoja, one mnie pocieszą. (Ps 23,4)

Werset ten jest jedną z najstarszych formuł wyrażających koncepcję, że brak strachu jest podstawowym źródłem siły duchowej i psychologicznej. Siła ta jest szczególnie ważna we wszystkich burzliwych czasach, włącznie z czasami, w których przyszło nam żyć obecnie. W naszej tradycji ta sama koncepcja siły wyrażana jest na[…]
