Rabbis took the Song of Songs, one of the worlds greatest collections of love poems, made it part of both the biblical canon and the synagogue liturgy, and then took the human to human love out of it. They transformed the book ...

• Gay Student to Condemation by Yeshiva University Rabbi - Mordechai Levovitz to Rabbi Mayer Twersky

  
  Tzvee's Talmudic Blog — Authority: 488
  My teacher Rav Soloveitchik would not have given a public diatribe like the one delivered by his grandson, Rabbi Mayer Twersky. As the officer says on the TV drama, "You have the right to remain silent..." It looks like everything Rabbi Twersky has said, now can and will be held against him in the court of public ...

  New at LacusCurtius & Livius — Authority: 125
  The Colosseum I already blogged on the Christian martyrs venerated in the Colosseum, and pointed out that there is no evidence that Christians were killed on that terrible place.

• Debunking Antisemitism Studies and Yehuda Bauer in Particular

  
  NOVAKEO.COM — Authority: 135
