Title: The Religious Philosophy of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Kalischer
Authors: Adler, Jack H.
Abstract: Kalischer presented the essence of Jewish philosophical
thought in a simple and persuasive manner. This was an important
contribution towards strengthening the religious consciousness
of this period. His work had a profound influence both in
Germany and especially in Poland and Russia, where the Haskalah
movement was just beginning.1 This influence was felt for years
after the original publication of Emunah Yesharah. Thus in 1913
a portion of his work was reprinted in Warsaw, under the title
Sefer Petah HaDaat, for the purpose of strengthening religious
belief among the younger generation.

Title: The resurrection of the dead and the world to come according to Saadia Gaon, Rambam, and Ramban
Authors: Ben-Meir, Ruth
Abstract: An attempt will be made to clarify the two central concepts of the Messianic era, the resurrection of the dead and the world to come, as they are portrayed in medieval Jewish Philosophy.
¶
In the original sources we find that there is no clear and unified concept of the Messianic era. Some prophets view the Messianic era as utopian, other prophets view the Day of the Lord as a day of destruction and darkness, our sages, when discussing the Messianic era, selected those prophecies which tended to support their individual views. It follows that our sages also do not have a single basic concept of the Messianic era. The differences are so extreme that one viewpoint totally negates the other. It is necessary to concentrate on these contrasts as they furnish the background for the development of the various currents of thought on the redemption. These central themes will be considered, relating to the ideas of Saadia Gaon, Rambam and Ramban.

Title: Dr. Jekuthiel Ginsburg: Scholar , educator , and mathematician
Authors: Seff, David
Abstract: Professor Jekuthiel Ginsburg was a modest man with
many friends. His modesty prevented him from publishing
much under his own name, thus obscuring much of his work
from the public, or even the researcher. In addition, one
could safely conclude that his modesty was a major factor
in his not becoming one of those public figures about whom
many biographies or other works are written. Indeed, his
main claim to fame is not his mathematical works, nor his
scholarly works--nor even his contribution as an educator-but
rather his contribution as an educator par excellence
wherein he gained popularity not so much through the creation
and· propagation of newer theories, but through his own
deep and personal dedication to his students and to his
work. (from Introduction).
