    The best is yet to be,
    The last of life, for which the first was made:
    Our times are in his hand
    Who saith, 'A whole I planned,
    Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!'
    Not that, amassing flowers, Youth sighed, 'Which rose make ours, Which lily leave and then as best recall?' Not that, admiring stars, It yearned, 'Nor Jove, nor Mars; Mine be some figured flame which blends, transcends them all!' Not for such hopes and fears Annulling youth's brief years, Do I remonstrate: folly wide the mark! Rather I prize the doubt Low kinds exist without, Finished and finite clods, untroubled by a ark. Poor vaunt of life indeed, Were man but formed to feed On joy, to solely seek and find a feast: Such feasting ended, then As sure an end to men; Irks care the crop-full bird? Frets doubt the maw-crammed beast? Rejoice we are allied To that which doth provide And not partake, effect and not receive!

    Poems of the Week: Old Age by John Stringer I thought that this week our subject would be old age. As you may have noticed, many of the earlier poets did not always live very long, and so one might suppose that old age would not have been a common topic; but of course they observed the aging of their parents; and their general perception clearly led them to understand at least the superficial aspects of aging. A poem I have quoted several times in these pieces is the villanelle by Dylan Thomas (1914 – 1953), addressed to his father shortly before his death; this begins: Do not go gentle into that good night,
    Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light. T.S. Eliot (1888 – 1965) is, as many of you who have read these pieces before will recognize, one of my favorite poets, in particular because of his technique coupled with his perception. Very early on, I read The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

    IBN EZRA
    A) GENERAL
    Abraham ben Meir ibn Ezra. Aben Ezra. Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn al-Majid. Abenare, Avenare. Abraham Judaeus. Born in Toledo about 1089-1092. He translated from Arabic into Hebrew three treatises on grammar by Judah Hayyuj (second half of the tenth century), Rome 1140; two treatises on astrology by Mashallah, before 1148; al-Biruni's commentary on al-Khwarizmi's tables, Narbonne 1160. The last mentioned is known only through Ibn Ezra's version. Ibn Ezra's mind was a strange mixture of rationalism and mysticism. His writings show his deep interest in magic squares and the mystical properties of numbers. He explained a decimal system of numeration: the first nine letters of the Hebrew alphabet, plus a circle for the zero, with place value. Problems involving the product of complex fractions. Account of the regula infusa ben Solomon, to solve equations. For example, given m(ax + b) + c = let ax + b = y then my + c = y = -c/m ax + b = -c/m which can easily be solved. One of the earliest forms of the traditional arithmetical problem known as "Turks and Christians." Combinations of n things taken r at a time. Ibn Ezra knew that C(n,r) = C(n, n-r)

    Ben Zakkai Honor Society National Conference of Synagogue Youth (NSCY), Sarah Beth and Rabbi Ari Solomont with the Ezra Ben-Zion Lightman Memorial Award at the annual Ben Zakkai Honor Society Dinner , Sunday, December 10, in Manhattan. Both Sarah Beth and Ari come from families steeped in the traditions of communal service and Jewish values. They both served as NCSY officers with rare distinction, and became advisors while attending Touro College. Mrs. Solomont grew up in Frederick, Maryland, where she served as chapter president while in 10th grade, regional vice president in 11th and regional president as a high school senior. After two years at Bnot Torah in Jerusalem, she attended Touro College, and was graduated in 1988 on her way to a Masters degree in Expressive Arts Therapy. The mother of four Dov Baer, Malka Bracha, Nechama Elkeh Drazeh and Elysheva Meira she is also the mentor and ad hoc big sister to a generation of New England NCSYers who have learned to cherish her integrity, verve and compassion. Rabbi Solomont grew up in Lowell, Massachusetts, a proud son of the Orthodox Montefiore Synagogue, which his family has supported for decades.

    Sixth Annual Ben Zakkai Honor Society Dinner
    Honors NCSY Supporters, Alumni
    For the sixth consecutive year, the Ben Zakkai Honor Society has held it annual dinner honoring worthy supporters and alumni of NCSY. Each year the Keeping Posted reports on the dinner and ends by saying that the dinner was chaired by Dr. David and Mrs. Vivian Luchins . But not this year. This year we are beginning the article with that fact. The BZHS dinner was conceived and implemented by Dr. and Mrs. Luchins. For six years it has been sustained by Dr. and Mrs. Luchins. And, as hard as many people work on the dinner each year (and Malka Laks and her staff, among many other people, do!), it is the Luchinses who are the glue that binds the annual Ben Zakkai affair. This year’s honorees include Regional Directors, advisors, Rabbis, and lay leaders from all walks of NCSY. Harold and Enid Boxer for whom The Enid and Harold M. Boxer Memorial Award is named, were the driving force behind the creation of NCSY, as was reported in previous issues of Keeping Posted Among the officers who supported NCSY’s creation that day in 1954 was Samuel Lawrence Brennglass , a fitting (and long overdue) recipient of this award.

    Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra's Commentary to the Torah:
    Title
    This original title for Ibn Ezra's commentary on the Torah is rarely used. It is taken to mean "the book of the upright" and is the title of a work that is cited in the Bible.(e.g., Joshua 10:13).
    Author
    Rabbi Abraham ben Meir Ibn Ezra was born and educated in the "Golden Age" of Muslim Spain. He excelled as a poet, philosopher, grammarian and Biblical commentator.
    Dates
    c. 1089 - c. 1164.
    Place
    Originally from Tudela, Spain. The latter part of his life (after 1140) was spent wandering in poverty through Italy, Provence, France, England, Egypt and Israel. It was during his wanderings that he composed most of his many influential literary works.
    Description
    Ibn Ezra's works of Biblical interpretation were based primarily on a meticulous foundation of Hebrew grammar and philology, and attention to the realia of Biblical life. His critical sense leads him to raise questions regarding the traditional ascriptions of authorship to Biblical books, anticipating some of the conclusions of modern scholarship. Ibn Ezra was aware of his departures from Rashi 's approach; though fact he was not entirely above applying homiletical or allegorical interpretations, as in his commentaries to Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs.

    A Binding Disagreement
    Of all the biblical themes that are recalled on Rosh Hashanah, the most significant is probably the story of the " Akedah ," the binding of Isaac. This poignant episode was designated as the Torah reading for the second day of the festival, and is alluded to in many ways in the prayers and rituals of the holiday. By relating how our ancestors Abraham and Isaac were ready to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to prove their total devotion to God, Jewish tradition found reassurance that subsequent generations of Abraham's descendants will be able to draw upon the merits that were earned by the patriarchs. This conviction is particularly important in this season of judgment, when we do not always feel certain that our individual merits are adequate to ensure a favourable verdict. According to ancient interpretations, the sounding of the shofar is intended to evoke the memory of that "ram caught in a thicket by his horns" that was offered up in Isaac's stead. When we consider the centrality of the Akedah for the Jewish religious outlook, it is hardly imaginable that any mainstream Jewish thinker could entertain doubts about whether the story actually occurred.

    http://www.sephardicsages.org/donash.html
    Rabbi Donash ben Labrat ZT"L Also known as Rabbi Adonim Halevi 920-980 CE Donash ben Labrat lived in Spain in the middle of the tenth century. He studied with Saaida Gaon ZT"L and served as a Rabbi, possibly in Cordoba at the same time that Menachem ben Jacob ibn Saruq ZT"L , Hisdai ibn Shaprut 's Z"L secretary, was working on his biblical dictionary. A pioneer in the field of scientific comparative philology, he tried to demonstrate that Arabic was merely a corrupt form of the purer Hebrew. He wrote an exhaustive criticism of Menahem’s Hebrew lexicon, adding to and correcting it, and was the first to adapt the Arabic meter to Hebrew poetry. He was a grammarian and piyyutam (liturgical poet). His works include the Shabbat song Dror Yikra and Dvai Hasair, the (now) traditional preface to birkat hamazon at weddings. Rashi frequently quotes Donash, and Avraham Ibn Ezra lists him among the "Elders of the Holy Tongue." Rabbi Donash has been called the father of Sephardic Hebrew poetry.

    Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman ZT'L
    "The RAMBAN"

    "Rabbi Moses ben Nahman, of Girona, his soul is at peace. Hazak. [be strong]"
    Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman (RAMBAN) was the leader of Spanish Jewry in the turbulent thirteenth century. His great Torah scholarship, heroic personal life and incisive analysis of Jewish history and destiny remains a beacon of light shining through the centuries. Moshes ben Nachman was born in Girona , Catalonia, Spain in 1194 / 4934, and was the crown of that country's golden age of Jewish sholarship. He was a great Talmudic scholar. He was also called "Nachmanides" meaning "Son of Nachman" in Greek. He was the relative of Rabbi Yonah of Girona . The Ramban studied under many great Rabbis most notably R. Yehudah ben Yakar and R. Nassan ben Meir. He also had mentors in kabbalah including R. Ezra and R. Ezriel, both from Genova. He was not only a commentator, Talmudist, and kabbalist, but also a student of medicine, something which he practiced professionally. He also learned physics, and many different languages. The sefer which reflects his greatness the most was "Milchamot Hashem " which was written by him for the purpose of defending Rabbi Yitzchak Alfassi ZT'L (better known as the RIF). Another notable sefer of the Ramban was the "Torat Haacku", which was a brief book of laws and a number of halachic discussions.
