Reflections on a Mitzvah
A year ago, when the Chabad community in Vancouver gathered to initiate

the writing of a new Torah for the Jewish Center, I thought to myself –

why? We had a perfectly serviceable Torah – albeit borrowed – why would

we need one of our own? I just didn’t get it. Yet, the excitement for

this project was palpable – almost as if the birth of a child was upon

us.

Unearthing Temple Instruments in JLI’s Latest Course
The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute unveiled its latest course, “Heaven

on Earth: Timeless Vessels, Timely Lessons” to 2,500 students this

week. The three-week program comes on the heels of last year’s

miniseries which explored the significance of the structure of the Beit

Hamikdash (the Temples that stood in Jerusalem). This year, its

continuation focuses on the spiritual significance of the Temple’s six

primary instruments.

First Person: A Graduate Reflects
It is not easy to attend a university and receive an education that prides itself on liberal, intellectual, and unbiased humanist values, while at the same time delving into the meaning and wisdom of the Torah, and gleaning guidance and spirituality for a Jewish life.  To me, Torah life and teachings very often seemed to be in contradiction to the more universalist undertones, which pervaded the classes and
culture of the university system, and set aside religion as an arcane belief for the weak of mind.

The Boys From Brooklyn

For Rabbi Chaim Shmaya Wilhelm, a son of Portland, returning to his hometown for a summer of study is only natural. This August, Wilhelm and six young rabbis will descend on America’s greenest city with Talmudic tracts and Torah books, ready to study with local businessmen, students, and professionals. The much-anticipated Oregon Yeshiva Experience attracted 60 students last year; this year Wilhelm hopes to push the number to 100. With promises of “study with Moses, Maimonides, and a couple of guys from Brooklyn,” Wilhelm is setting up yeshiva-shop in this northwestern city.
