It's in the gene (alogy): Family, storytelling, and salvation
(Yeshiva UP ; Maggid, 2019) Halpern, Stuart W.; Halpern, Stuart W.
"This is why Ruth is the progenitor of the Messiah, because the Messiah is the ultimate 'meishiv nefesh' (Ruth 4:15), restorer of life and dignity when hope seems lost ... to restore the name (Ruth 4:5) is to reach across the generations, and across interpersonal divide, and at times across the divide between aspects or periods within one's own self, in active recognition, provoking true transformation. l11at is what compassionate redemption means ... in the end, Ruth reminds us that nothing is more beautiful than friendship, that grace begets grace, that blessing flourishes in the place between memory and hope, that light shines most from broken vessels. What else is the Messiah about?" (Rabbi Tzadok HaKohen)

We are pleased to share with you the latest issue of YU Ideas, “Property in the Digital Age,” in honor of the holiday of Sukkot. As the rabbis of the Talmud teach us, a Sukkah must be a dirat arai, a temporary structure. On Sukkot, we leave our permanent homes, and enter structures that, despite their lack of permanence, symbolize divine protection. As we consider questions of ownership, protection and permanence, please enjoy these reflections by faculty and staff from across Yeshiva University.
