Jewish tradition attributes

70 names to the city of
Jerusalem, taken from the
Bible and the Midrash.
The majority come from
the visions of the prophets

Israeli Society
First session
Our daily routine is

involved with, integrated

A Different Chief
Rabbinate: Facing Joy and
Sorrow
To what degree is our
current-day Chief
Rabbinate and the
Halacha it represents
able to cope with the
needs of those seeking its
services? Are there
possible alternatives? Do
these alternatives
contradict or merely
challenge the current
situation?

Kicking Off the

Month
The Month of
Tammuz: Zevulun
The session introduces the

story of Zevulun through
his testament that
appears as part of a dozen
compositions written in
the first centuries BCE,
seemingly as the last wills
of the sons of Jacob. In
each of these testaments
the writer recounts his life
story, confesses his sins
(and his role in the selling
of Joseph), commends his
good deeds, and advises
his sons how to conduct
themselves. Zevuluns
testament deals with the
story of the selling of
Joseph from a viewers
standpoint, and with
topics pertaining to fishing
and boats reflecting the
Biblical blessings of Jacob
and Moses to the tribe of
Zevulun. The session will
also address issues
relating to the ocean as
well as innovation in
producing tekhelet in the
manufacturing of tzitzit, as
appears in Zevuluns
blessing.
