LIFE JOURNEYS - LESSONS FROM THE HEART

A Powerful Song

By Sara Gutfreund

The Lost Treasure

Twenty years ago, Shoshana and Karen sat on the fluffy pink carpet in Shoshana's bedroom. It was a balmy, spring day, and the scent of freshly cut grass climbed through the curtained windows. They had spread out a picnic blanket on the floor, and set up a tea party for a circle of dolls and teddy bears. Shoshana had just had her seventh birthday party, and they were chatting about all the presents she had received.

What if they Call us a Cult?

By Mordecai Plaut

Despite the fact that we are by no means brainwashed and, on the contrary, even a cursory acquaintance with Talmud is enough to convince anyone that critical thinking is central to our lives in theory, and a quick visit to the mikvehs and yeshiva dining rooms will make it abundantly clear that it is also applied in practice, some spokesmen for Reform and Conservative whose concern is more for scoring rhetorical points than accuracy persist in calling the chareidi community a cult.
