DESCRIPTION:This week's class will be taught by Jason Rubenstein\, and it is entitled\, &ldquo\;What Makes for a Good Day?&rdquo\;
What and why is Yom Tov? Towards which experiences of holidays and holiness are we directed by the Mishnah? Using the Talmudic material as a starting point\, we will look at the directions in which that material leads us in framing and living the twelve days of Hag each year. \;
Jason Rubenstein is a faculty member at Yeshivat Hadar\, where he teaches Mussar \; (ethics). He is a fourth-year rabbinical student at the Jewish Theological Seminary and holds an MA in Talmud from JTS and an AB in Social Studies from Harvard College. For the past two summers\, Jason has coordinated Yeshivat Hadar's group processing and worked as sho'el umeshiv (a resource during Talmud study). An alumnus of Yeshivat Ma'ale Gilbo'a\, Jason has led several trips for the Nesiya Institute.

Jewish law is replete with haramot\, mechanisms to avoid the consequences of another law. \; Selling hametz on Pesah and the heter iska (which circumvents the prohibition of charging another Jew interest) are just two mechanims that Jews utilize every year. At first glance\, the use of such mechanisms seems bizarre. \; Why does Jewish law allow you to cheat and avoid the consequences of a specific commandment? \; \; In the class\, we will discuss the range of legal fictions utilized in Jewish law\, and examine their limits. \; We will also address the underlying theological difficulty presented by haramot &ndash\; What does it mean to &lsquo\;fool God&rsquo\; through the use of legal mechanisms?
Shmuel Kadosh currently works as an Assistant Attorney General in the Investor Protection Bureau at the New York State Attorney General's office. He graduated in 2008 from New York University School of Law\, where he was an editor on the Law Review. \; Shmuel has taught before at Hadar\, both at the Beit Midrash and summer Yeshiva. \; He is excited to return once again to study with this wonderful community.

How can we observe a Holiday on different days? \; The one feature of Jewish Life that unites Jews the world over is the calendar. \; None the less\, the Mishna in Megilla provides alternative days for observing the Holiday of Purim. \; We will use this as a model for understanding certain debates in the Jewish community today.

Please note that we can only accommodate as many guests as we have spots at hosts' tables\, so please consider hosting if you are able. Hosting does not require that you provide the entire meal for your guests\, but simply that you prepare the main course and open your home to community participants.
Hosts will receive assignments on Tuesday\, February 16 and guests will receive information by the morning of Thursday\, February 18.
A word about Kashrut: Members of our community have different standards of Kashrut in their homes. In an effort to accommodate all members of our community\, we ask that all food be prepared in a kosher kitchen\, and ingredients for the meal (including cheese) be marked with a recognized kosher symbol (more than just "\;K"\;). If\, in general\, you use non-hechshered domestic cheese in your kitchen\, it is still possible to prepare food for the dinner\, as long as the ingredients for the meal are in accordance with the Kashrut policy described above and you haven't used your pots for 24 hours (Ben Yomo). Or\, you could simply make a meat meal! Whether you attend a meal or host a meal\, all food bought or made should follow this policy. If you have any questions\, including how to meet these Kashrut standards\, please email contact@kehilathadar.org
