Jewish Life in IranBy Daniel Maccabee and the Jmag Staff Today life in Iran is very good for the remaining 20,000 Jews who live there. During the time of the Shah there were approximately one hundred thousand Jews, but they were subject to persecution and experienced anti-Semitism. Although you might think that the Jewish life would get worse after Khomeini and the Islamic revolution, it actually

The Ethical Willby Rabbi Yissocher FrandRecently, I saw a collection of ethical wills in book form. The anthology covers a span of generations, some are almost contemporary and others are from quite long ago. They have one thing in common: They are amazing documents.One person writes, "I sit here in the still of the night, with the lamp on my desk spilling a small island of light in the silent

Have you ever wanted to die?... "Depressed -- or just displaced" ...I found the following true story very inspiring, I hope you do too.After ten years in Israel, in Jerusalem no less, where the air gave off a white light that was suffused with a kind of holiness, I left and moved back to the United States. The whole time, I'd been studying and teaching Torah. I hadn't read an American newspaper

Shavuot 5767Celebrating birth of the Jewish Nation over 3000 years ago at Mount SinaiJews all over the world gather in their synagogues and homes, and stay up the whole Shavuot night to learn Torah.

Friday is Rosh Chodesh Sivan; Time for special prayer for our children's successWe Iranian Jews are notorious when it comes to the wellbeing of our children. Again, is this because of our Jewish or the Iranian side, or perhaps both? Of course, every parent in any society wants the best for their children in all areas of their lives. However, we have been specially blessed with many Torah giants

Where were many of us in 1977? We were anxiously feeling the winds of revolutionary Iran, and wondering what to do with our lives and where to go; very little time for philosophical and spiritual musing.In around the same time, a young American Jew started his search for meaning in the Far East. The monk in the monastery handed him an article by Ellen Willis which had been published in 1975 in

Pesach 5767Who can sleep now?It was in the year 2448 on the eve of the 14th of Nisan, that is 3319 years ago that Jews put on their walking shoes and with their staff in their hands ate the Korban Pesach in a hurry, as the Egyptian first-borns were dying all over the Egyptian empire. And the next day, on the 15th of Nisan, the rabbis tell us that it was a Thursday, they walked out of Egypt as a

The Four Sons Pesach is about educating our children (and ourselves) about the redemption of the Jewish people from slavery to freedom. On the other hand, Pesach is not just about the history; the idea of freedom is just as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. At the Seder night we encourage our children to ask questions and we engage them in conversation and discussions on many

DayenuWe the Persian Jews have the time-honored tradition of attacking each other at the Seder night during the reciting of the song Dayenu ("it would have been enough for us"). Now, it is great that we have this once-a-year opportunity to settle score with family and friends, but surely this song has to have more significance than projecting VBMs (Vegetable Ballistic Missiles) at each other.

A straight, no-nonsense 4th of July commentaryWarning - it may aggitate our American Sensibilities... " 4th of July? Good, enjoy a picnic with the family. Better still, open a Gemorra. Pesach is our Independence Day; the 4th of July for a Jew is nothing more than a paid vacation, unless you've lost your security clearance and are presently unemployed. There's plenty for you to do over here; we're

Another 4th of July OccassionBesides the well known US 4th of July celebration, there is yet another 4th of July occasion, much closer to the Jewish heart; the anniversary of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) raid on Entebbe airport to free the Jewish hostages of Air France flight 139, on July 4, 1976.You can view this event with the eyes of a casual observer of a series of “coincidences” which

A Measure of SpiceI remember that as teenagers we used to philosophize and discuss the meaning and purpose of life. We somehow felt that wearing torn jeans or mini-skirts, or having Tom Jones-style sideburns or Afro hair-dos will help us get there. Well, later on we got busy with settling in America, school, family, work and responsibilities, and along the way forgot all about the meaning and

Do you focus on the negative in each situation? Do you lack joy and equanimity in your daily living? Do you ever feel that you can learn anything from others? Do you feel a need to gain power over others by focusing on their faults? Do you react

Positive Self ImageIt is a fine balance between motivating our children, and downright stressing them to the point of break-down. Very often we want our kids to accomplish in areas that we ourselves failed to accomplish, educationally, professionally, socially, etc. In effect, we push our kids to make up for our own shortcomings. We subconsciously give negative messages to them that they do not

Emunah, Emaan, FaithIt is evident that the simple Jew, even though not very learned and well-versed in Jewish law, has a high level of emunah in the Creator of the world.
