Shomer Emunim(meaning \"Guardian of the Faith\") is a devout, insularHasidicgroup based inJerusalem. It was founded in the 20th century by RabbiArele (Aharon) Roth.The Shomrei Emunim are characterized by fervent and visibly emotional prayer, and by a rigid lifestyle controlled largely by \"takanos\", decrees written by theRebbe. One such decree, for example, forbade wearing wool. (Jewish law foroffers wearing anything that contains both wool and linen. Rabbi Aharon worried that it would be safest not to wear wool at all, in order to avoid the possibility of violating the law altogether.)[1]Contents[hide]1 Dynastical history and divide1.1 Shomrei Emunim group1.2 Toldos Aharon and Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok groups2 Hasidic books of the Shomer Emunim, Toldos Aharon, and Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok groups3 See also4 References5 External linksDynastical history and divide[edit]Grand RabbiAharon Roth, or Reb Arele (as his Hasidim sometimes call him, affectionately), was known to pray especially fervently. According to one story, he regularly had to change his clothes twice during the Sabbath morning service. While the normal service might be two or three hours long, Rabbi Aharon frequently drew the service out for five or more hours.Rabbi Aharon was known to be very anti-Zionist, and many of his Hasidim today continue that tradition, particularly theToldos AharonandToldos Avrohom Yitchokgroups. They owe their strong opinions on Zionism to the literal reading of theTalmud\'s proclamation that Jews should not take over the holy land prior to the coming of theMessiah. (For more information about this subject, seeThree Oaths; compare alsoSatmar\'s opposition to Zionism. While Rabbi Aharon\'s opposition to Zionism predated the publication of theSatmar Rov\'s bookVayoel Moshe, the Satmar Rov\'s reasoning and Rabbi Aharon\'s reasoning for opposing Zionism are similar, if not identical.)When Rabbi Aharon died, his son and his son-in-law both became rebbes in their own right. The dynastic chain being:Rebbe Aharon \"Reb Areleh\" Roth (d. 1946) - author ofShomer Emunim,Shulchan HaTahor, andTaharas HaKodesh- founding Rebbe ofShomrei Emunimdynasty in the town of Satmar, Hungary, and Jerusalem.Rebbe Avrohom Chaim Roth - (d. 2012)Shomrei EmumimRebbe in Jerusalem andBnei Brak- son of \"Reb Areleh\" Roth.Rebbe Avrohom Yitzchok Kahn (d. 1996) - author ofDivrei Emunah- previousToldos AharonRebbe of Jerusalem - son-in-law of \"R\' Areleh\" Roth.Rebbe Shmuel Yaakov Kahn - presentToldos Avrohom YitzchokRebbe in Jerusalem - eldest son of the previousToldos AharonRebbe.Rebbe Dovid Kahn - presentToldos AharonRebbe in Jerusalem - son of the previousToldos AharonRebbe.Shomrei Emunim group[edit]Rabbi Aharon\'s son, Rabbi Avrohom Chaim Roth, inherited Rabbi Arele\'s shul in Jerusalem and the name and title \"Shomer Emunim\" and become Rebbe and Rabbi Arele\'s successor recognized as such by theBelzerRebbe and Rabbi Shlomke ofZhvil.Approximately ten years after becoming Shomrei Emunim Rebbe, Rabbi Aharon\'s son also opened a second shul in Bnei Brak, and today he divides his time between Jerusalem and Bnei Brak, as well occasional visits to his shul in Ashdod (headed by the Rebbe\'s son Rabbi Aharon Roth, the Shomrei Emunim Rov) and to Tifrach.The Shomrei Emunim Rebbe has four sons who are involved in Shomrei Emunim, and five sons-in-law, all of whom are rebbes in their own right.The Shomer Emunim group is more moderate than the Toldos Aharon - Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok group, and is informally affiliated withAgudath Israel. The Rebbe himself does not vote, but he encourages his Hasidim to vote.[citation needed]Toldos Aharon and Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok groups[edit]Main article:Toldos Aharon (Hasidic dynasty)Main article:Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok (Hasidic dynasty)Rabbi Aharon\'s son-in-law, Rabbi Avrohom Yitzchok Kohn, adopted the nameToldos Aharon(which means the \"Generations of Aharon\"). Most of Reb Arele\'s followers left to follow the son-in-law, Rabbi Kohn. Toldos Aharon and Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok are strongly anti-Zionist.Hasidic books of the Shomer Emunim, Toldos Aharon, and Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok groups[edit]In addition to those books which are revered by all Hasidic Jews, the Toldos Aharon Hasidim particularly revere the books,Shomer Emunim,Shulchan HaTahor, andTaharas HaKodesh, by Rebbe Aharon Roth, andDivrei Emunohby Rebbe Avrohom Yitzchok Kahn. The version of the prayer book used by Toldos Aharon Hasidim is calledBrucheh i\'Tehilleh. The Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok Hasidim have published a weekday prayer book called,Tehillas Avrohom Yitzchok, but also use theBrucheh i\'Tehillehversion as well.The previous Rebbe of Toldos Aharon, R\' Avrohom Yitzchok, was said to have instructed his followers to learn the works ofRabbi Aharon HaLevi of Staroshelye(pronounced Strashelye), which include \"Sha\'arei HaYichud VeHaEmunoh,\" \"Sha\'arei Avoda,\" and \"Avodas HaLevi.\" The Staroselyer Rebbe was a follower of the first Rebbe of Chabad, RabbiShneur Zalman of Liadi. After the passing of R\' Shneur Zalman, R\' Aharon HaLevi started his own Chassidic following, an offshoot of Chabad, in Staroselye.********Kiryat Shomrei Emunim(Hebrew:קרית שומרי אמונים‎‎, \"City of the Guardians of Faith\")[1]is aHasidic Jewishneighborhood in westernJerusalem. It was founded in the early 1960s by theShomrei EmunimRebbe, Rabbi Avrohom Chaim Roth.Contents[hide]1 Name2 Location3 History4 Attempted terror attack5 Expansion6 ReferencesName[edit]The neighborhood is named after the eponymous book byAharon Roth, founder of the Shomer Emunim Hasidic dynasty.[1]This work contains essays on the subjects of \"faith, reward and punishment, redemption, and a passionate yearning for God\".[1]The main street in the neighborhood is also called Shomrei Emunim Street.[2]Location[edit]Kiryat Shomrei Emunim is bordered byMea Shearimto the south,Beit Yisraelto the west and north, and Shivtei Yisrael Street to the east.[3]History[edit]Kiryat Shomrei Emunim was established in the early 1960s by Rabbi Avrohom Chaim Roth, the Shomrei Emunim Rebbe, son and successor of the founder of the Shomer Emunim dynasty, Aharon Roth.[2][4]The Rebbe selected a site between the long-established neighborhoods ofMea ShearimandBeit Yisrael.[4][5]He procured a gift of 50,000lirasfrom theBank of Israeltoward construction costs.[5]In addition to residential buildings, the Rebbe opened aTalmud Torahandyeshiva.[4]Over time, the neighborhood grew to include 12 buildings, asynagogue,yeshiva gedola,yeshiva ketana,kollel, andmikveh.[2]In 1975 aBais Yaakovgirls high school moved to Kiryat Shomrei Emunim.[6]In 1976 the Rebbe relocated toBnei Brak, but returned to the neighborhood each year to celebrate the holidays ofRosh Hashana,Yom Kippur,Sukkot, andShavuotwith his Hasidim in Jerusalem.[4][5]Attempted terror attack[edit]On January 11, 2001, a resident spotted a large bag deposited in a garbage can on Shomrei Emunim Street. She called over her brother, a 36-year-old father of five who studies in a neighborhood yeshiva. He opened the bag and saw a bomb connected to a cell phone with wires. He detached the wires from the cell phone and then called police.[7]While police were examining the bomb, which consisted of two mortar shells, the cell phone rang, but the connection had been severed.[7]This was the second of four attempted bombings in the vicinity of Mea Shearim and Beit Yisrael over a two-month period.[8]Expansion[edit]In 2013 developers broke ground on an additional 150 apartment units in Kiryat Shomrei Emunim, a project that will double the population base.[2]The project includes a 1,000-square-metre (11,000sqft) ornamental garden and a public playground.[2]The new units are expected to attract high demand due to the neighborhood\'s proximity to neighboring Hasidic communities, the Jerusalem city center, and theWestern Wall.[2]********* The tzedakah box - a symbol of a highly important act The tzedakah box is a means for a Jewish person to perform one of the most important acts of Judaism. According to the ancient sages, the commandment of giving charity is equally important to all other Jewish commandments. The High Holiday prayers state that God judges all who have sinned. But, teshuvah (repentance), tefilah (prayer) and tzedakah can reverse His decision. There are no exemptions The duty to give is considered so important in Judaism that even the recipient is obligated to give something back to others. The only stipulation is that one should not give to the point where he himself becomes needy. The act is also linked to ancient times According to some sources, giving tzedakah is considered a replacement for the animal sacrifice carried out in ancient times. This act was meant to express thanks to God and ask His forgiveness. Let\'s move on and take a look at the personal aspect: When you give, you gain something back as well… The giving of charity can often be just as rewarding to the giver as to the receiver. The spiritual reward for giving can often just as great as the benefit the receiving party will gain. When a person gives to charity, he has the opportunity both to appreciate the good that he has and to share it with others – a person like that is lucky in my book… Now what about the meaning of the word? The word tzedakah comes from the Hebrew word tzedek, which means righteous. In the Bible, the word tzedakah refers to justice, kindness and ethical behavior. In Modern Hebrew, it refers to charity - giving to those in need. This is consistent with the Jewish approach Judaism considers charity to be an act of justice more then an act of good faith. According to tradition, people in need have a right to food, clothing and shelter – this right must be honored by others more fortunate. So you see, giving tzedakah is not voluntary, it\'s considered an act of justice. According to some, there are also different levels of tzedakah – let\'s see what they are! The different levels of charity The RAMBAM (Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon), a 12th century Jewish scholar, wrote a code of Jewish law saying that not all acts of charity are equivalent - some are considered better then others. In the text below, you can see how he ranked them, from the most meritorious to the least meritorious: Giving and enabling the recipient to become self-reliant Giving when neither party knows the other\'s identity Giving when you know the recipient\'s identity, but he doesn\'t know yours Giving when you don\'t know the recipient\'s identity, but he knows yours Giving before being asked Giving after being asked Giving less that you should, but giving it happily Giving begrudgingly There is also an accepted way to determine the recipient When giving charity, you should consider the person or organization you plan to help out. According to Jewish tradition, there are some recipients more preferred than others. They are ranked below in order of priority, from the highest to the lowest: Family and close relatives Local Jewish community Jewish community in Israel Jewish communities worldwide Local community in general International assistance to needy people The occasion on which we give also has an importance In Judaism, there are occasions in which it\'s considered more appropriate to give to others. Giving is considered a great way to celebrate a happy occasion, commemorate a deceased loved one or mark the Holy Days. It\'s also traditional in Jewish families to give the children money each week, before the Sabbath, to place in the tzedakah box by this teaching them the act of tzedakah. Where can we find the tzedakah boxes? Tzedakah boxes are often found in public places but also in many Jewish homes. Most synagogues have tzedakah boxes as well - this is to enable people who come to worship and celebrate to carry out an act of righteousness. Will you recognize it when you see it? Let\'s take a close look at the box The tzedakah box can take almost any shape and form. There are round boxes, square boxes, long ones and flat ones. They can be made of all sorts of materials. For example, glass, ceramic, silver, pewter, wood and even papier maché. The boxes are usually decorated with Jewish motifs or general motifs such as nature. Once, I even saw a tzedakah box for sports lovers, it was designed like a basketball! Spread the joy of giving The tzedakah box makes a great gift. If it\'s of high quality it can even last for ever and maybe be passed on as a family heirloom. Giving it as a gift is most appropriate on almost any occasion: Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, new babies, weddings, birthdays or even when visiting friends and family. ******** The giving of Tzedakah (charity) is a fundamental Mitzvah in Jewish life. Being a cornerstone of Judaism, no Jewish home is complete without a Tzedakah Box. There are many wonderful Tzedakah Boxes here, you are sure to find one that will help to beautify the preformance of this important Mitzvah. ********* Tzedakah (Hebrew: צדקה‎) is a Hebrew word commonly translated as charity, though it is based on a root meaning justice (צדק, tzedek). In Judaism, tzedakah refers to the religious obligation to perform charity, and philanthropic acts, which Judaism emphasises are important parts of living a spiritual life; Jewish tradition argues that the second highest form of tzedakah is to anonymously give donations to unknown recipients. Unlike philanthropy, which is completely voluntary, tzedakah is seen as a religious obligation, which must be performed regardless of financial standing, and must even be performed by poor people; tzedakah is considered to be one of the three main acts that can annul a less than favorable heavenly decree. In rabbinical literature of the classical and Middle Ages In classical rabbinical literature, it was argued that the Biblical regulations concerning left-overs only applied to corn fields, orchards, and vineyards, and not to vegetable gardens;[1] the classical rabbinical writers were much stricter in regard to who could receive the remains. It was stated that the farmer was not permitted to benefit from the gleanings, and was not permitted to discriminate among the poor, nor try to frighten them away with dogs or lions[2];[3][4] the farmer was not even allowed to help one of the poor to gather the left-overs.[5] However, it was also argued that the law was only applicable in Canaan,[6] although many classical rabbinical writers who were based in Babylon observed the laws there;[7][8] it was also seen as only applying to Jewish paupers, but poor non-Jews were allowed to benefit for the sake of civil peace[9] Despite the narrowness of the law\'s interpretation, it was perceived as encouraging charity; giving anonymously to an unknown recipient came to be considered the second highest form of tzedakah, since the regulation allows the poor to gather food in a dignified manner, rather than having to beg for it. Maimonides was driven to enumerate the forms of charity, from the greatest to the most weak:[10] Giving a person independence so that s/he will not have to depend on tzedakah. Maimonides enumerates four forms of this, from the greatest to the weakest: Giving a poor person work. Making a partnership with him or her (this is lower than work, as the recipient might feel he doesn\'t put enough into the partnership). Giving an interest-free loan to a person in need. Giving a grant to a person in need. Giving tzedakah anonymously to an unknown recipient via a person (or public fund) which is trustworthy, wise, and can perform acts of tzedakah with your money in a most impeccable fashion. Giving tzedakah anonymously to a known recipient. Giving tzedakah publicly to an unknown recipient. Giving tzedakah before being asked. Giving adequately after being asked. Giving willingly, but inadequately. Giving \"in sadness\" - it is thought that Maimonides was referring to giving because of the sad feelings one might have in seeing people in need (as opposed to giving because it is a religious obligation). In practice In practice, most Jews carry out tzedakah by donating a portion of their income to charitable institutions, or to needy people that they may encounter; the perception among many modern day Jews is that if donation of this form is not possible, the obligation of tzedakah still requires that something is given. Special acts of tzedakah are performed on significant days; at weddings, Jewish brides and bridegrooms would traditionally give to charity, to symbolise the sacred character of the marriage; at Passover, a major holiday in Jewish tradition, it is traditional to be welcoming towards hungry strangers, and feed them at the table; at Purim it is considered obligatory for every Jew to give food to two other people, in an amount that would equate to a meal each, for the purpose of increasing the total happiness during the month. As for the more limited form of tzedakah expressed in the biblical laws, namely the leaving of gleanings from certain crops, the Shulchan Aruch argues that Jewish farmers are no longer obliged to obey it.[11] Nevertheless, in modern Israel, rabbis of Orthodox Judaism insist that Jews allow gleanings to be consumed by the poor and by strangers, and all crops (not just gleanings) by anyone and everyone (free, not bought nor sold) during Sabbatical years[12]. In addition, one must be very careful about how one gives out tzedakah money. It is not sufficient to just give to anyone or any organization, rather, one must check the credentials and finances to be sure that your Tzedakah money will be used wisely, efficiently and effectively (Proverbs 22:22[13] - Do not steal from a poor person, for s/he is poor) and from Talmudic-era commentaries including Numbers Rabba 5:2. It is taught that Tzedakah money was never yours to begin with, rather, it always belongs to the recipient, and hence you have an obligation to give it AND to give it away to places that use it efficiently and effectively. Two examples of Tzedakah funds that operate according to Maimonides\' principles above (particularly #2), are Hands on Tzedakah (working with non-profits in the USA and in Israel), and Mitzvah Heroes Fund (working mainly with non-profits in Israel).
