Rabbi Shimon Gershon Rosenberg, ( שמעון גרשון רוזנברג ) (13 November 1949 - 11 June 2007), known by the acronym הרב שג"ר HaRav Shagar, was a Torah scholar and a religious postmodern thinker. His thought was characterized by Neo-Hasidism and postmodernism. In 1996 he established Yeshivat Siach Yitzchak, in Efrat and was the head of the establishment until his death. == Biography == He was born and raised in Jerusalem, to Shalom Zelig and his wife, holocaust survivors. He learned in the grade school, Neve Etzion, in the neighborhood of Bayit Vegan and continued his studies in the high school, Netiv Meir, and in the Hesder yeshiva Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh. In 1973 he began to learn in Mercaz HaRav Kook under Rabbi Shlomo Fisher and other Kabbalists. In the same year he married Miriam Ziv. After his wedding he began to learn in the Kollel of Yeshivat HaKotel. He received his nickname Shagar in high school when one of his rabbis saw the first letters of his name on his Tallit bag and was meant as a joke. Harav Shagar was badly injured during the Yom Kippur War in the tank battles in the Golan Heights. His tank took a direct hit and two of his comrades who were also with him in yeshiva were killed instantly. He himself was badly burnt and with great difficulty was saved.〔http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/kitveyet/shana/siach-4.htm〕 After recovering from his injuries he returned to his studies. He received rabbinical ordination in the beginning of 1976. In the 1980s he was a dominant figure and teacher in Yeshivat HaKotel and even filled in for the head of the yeshiva, HaRav Yeshayahu Hadari, for a year (when HaRav Yeshayahu Hadari took a sabbatical). Due to the uniting of a group of students and internal politics he quit his job teaching at the yeshiva. In 1984 he established the higher yeshiva "Shefa". At the head of the yeshiva stood together with him Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz and Rabbi Menachem Froman. It was established with the goal to make room for newer understandings in Judaism. With him came a group of his students from Yeshivat HaKotel. In a later stage the yeshiva helped establish the high school yeshiva Makor Haim ישיבת מקור חיים. Yeshivat Shefa closed with his leaving in 1988. In 1989 he was for one year the head of the Beth midrash Ma'ale - the Center for Religious Zionists המרכז לציונות דתית מעלה - המרכז לציונות דתית together with Rabbi Yoel Bin Nun and g Professor Shalom Rosenber. In 1990 Professor Benjamin Ish-Shalom established the Beit Midrash of Beit Morasha and appointed HaRav Shagar to lead it together with Rabbi Eliyahu Blomenzweig. At the end 1996 he established Yeshivat Siach Yitzchak together with Rabbi Yair Dreyfus, he was the head of the yeshiva until his death. Also at the same time he functioned as the head of the Beit Midrash "Uri" and taught at Midreshet Lindenbaum. He lived in the community Kiryat Moshe in Jerusalem, he was also married with six children. In February 2007 it was discovered that he had pancreatic cancer. This caused him to have to leave the yeshiva in order to undergo treatments. He and his wife moved to live in the moshav Givat Yeshayahu, in so doing they actualized a dream of many years. His writings he gave to his friend and head of the yeshiva, Rabbi Yair Dreyfus, in order that they may be gotten ready to be printed. In an evening that was held so that his health would improve on the 21 of May 2007, an institution was established in order to bring his writings to light. HaRav Shagar died a month later on the 25th of Nissan 2007, and was buried in the Mount of Olives Jewish Cemetery In 2012 a movie came out by Rabbi Mordechai Verdi entitled, "To Chase After the Shadow", that dealt with the figure of Harav Shagar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shimon Gershon Rosenberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
