Sinai (Hebrew: סיני) was a bi-monthly journal for research in the fields of Torah and Jewish studies (much of its content based on Cairo Genizah research) and more. The magazine was published continuously, six times a year (despite the name "Monthly") from 1937 to 2020, published by the Rav Kook Institute.
History[edit]
The first chief-editor of the journal was Rabbi Yehuda Leib Fishman Maimon, who edited from 1937 to 1962. Its initial goal was "to create a permanent literary platform, Torah and scientific, for national religious Judaism." [2] Initially the journal was supported and funded by the Bialik Institute and the Jewish Agency 3] and also included a publicist section, for articles on current affairs and a section on fine literature, which were abolished over the years and contributed to its establishment as a unique journal for Torah research and Jewish studies.
In 1962, Dr. Yitzhak Raphael replaced Rabbi Maimon as editor of the journal. " Raphael published from the journal the sections of "Chidushei Torah" and the bibliographic section for which he installed side files for "Sinai": Beit Talmud, Oral Torah and the Areshet Year Book.
In 1999 he replaced Raphael Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Halevi Movshovitz.
Contributing authors[edit]
The writers are drawn from the ranks of religious scholars and few non-religious scholars in the field of Jewish studies. In Volume Fifty, Rabbi Maimon wrote a reservation that was not part of the official definition of goals, but always existed covertly, "Sinai opened its gates to those with different approaches as long as things did not go beyond what is permissible in terms of the sacred tradition of Israel."
Content[edit]
According to the journal's first publication, "Sinai comes to decipher the consciences of light hidden in Israeli literature in all its branches and splendors; To penetrate into the depths, the abysses and the hidden slums of practical Judaism and discover by explanation and enlightenment the great light of Sinai Torah for all its laws and laws.
Sinai will offer a place for articles in all subjects of Israeli Torah and Hebrew science; For the study of the Hebrew language and for the investigation of Israeli, Talmudic and Midrashic literature, halakhic and legendary, genius and rabbinic; And along with the exploration of the past in its breadth and depth, a place will be fortified within Sinai for the exploration of the present of living and creative Israel.
Sinai will devote a wide space to a Torah-scientific investigation of the Land of Israel: its sanctity, the mitzvos that depend on it, the writing of the land and its antiquities, its history and development from the most ancient time to the last generation." - (Sinai, Sivan 1937
