Memoriam for Zalman, Mourning for Israel

By |

July 3rd, 2014, Rabbi Zalman Schachter Shalomi left his body, dying after a long, deep, and rich life. I consider Reb Zalman a teacher of mine…a master able to impart knowledge of an authentic Jewish tradition and practice. Reb Zalman escaped the Holocaust in Nazi Europe and joined the Chabad Lubavitch movement in the United States. The Lubavitcher Rebbe chose Zalman to become a shliach, a messenger and “pied piper” to the great number of unaffiliated young American Jews in my generation. He was the perfect messenger, an open hearted, open minded man who dropped acid with Timothy Leary, prayed with all others who prayed, and eventually was recognized by the Muslim community as a Sheikh, in addition to being world renowned as a Jew.

Mourning the Murder of 3 Israeli Teens

By |

We at Tikkun are in mourning for the three teens murdered in the West Bank. We find this act painful and outrageous. There can be no excuse for this kind of act. And we know that the revenge/retaliation acts of Israel will only bring about more acts of violence. The cycle will continue until Israel ends the Occupation and accepts a peace arrangement generous enough both in its particulars and in the spirit in which it is offered as to undermine the support for Hamas in the West Bank and Gaza and to empower the voices of Palestinian peacemakers.

Editor’s Note on “Why the Witch-Hunt Against Gertrude Stein?” By Renate Stendhal

By |

The debate about Gertrude Stein has been in the public eye once again, with accusations flying about her role as a famous lesbian Jew who managed to survive in Nazi-dominated France, to having been protected by a Nazi collaborator, to having been a translator for the Nazi-surrogate regime of Petain. This was a regime that rounded up tens of thousands of Jews who were then put on trains carrying them to Auschwitz where they were murdered. Tikkun magazine does not take a stand on the issue of what Gertrude Stein did or did not do, and our printing of our esteemed writer Renate Stendhal does not mean an endorsement of her views, but only reflects our commitment to encourage rational debate on many topics that have been dominated by rhetorical excess and name-calling. Stein was lauded as one of the early lesbian feminists whose literary fame gave her a partial pass on the sexism and homophobia that typically stunted the literary careers of many other lesbians. For that reason, some have been adverse to question Stein’s role as a conservative who may have helped the Nazis.
