  • A Prayerbook for Shabbat Evening
    “And They Answered You with Song” Kesher Community Siddur A Prayerbook For Shabbat Evening Editors: Joe Skloot ’05, Founding Editor Ben Amster ‘07 Joshua Packman ‘07 Jonah Perlin ‘07 With an introduction by Rabbi Julie Roth Princeton University Center for Jewish Life / Hillel 2002-2006 INTRODUCTION t is with great anticipation and joy that we present this siddur to the Reform Jewish I Community at Princeton. We want you to be proud to have this text as your own and hope that you are able to find inspiration from it for many years to come. The Princeton Reform Siddur Project began in 2003, before the current co-chairs matriculated, and it is an honor to be able to complete this endeavor. Before the first word of the prayerbook was written, there was a desire to produce a document that reflected both our desire to include as much of the traditional liturgy as practical and a firm commitment to include user friendly translations and personal meditations as well. For that reason, we have included the entire Kabblat Shabbat service as well as many additional songs and thoughts in the margins to encourage future service leaders to explore various aspects of the liturgy from one week to the next. The dilemma we faced when debating the extent to which our prayerbook would be traditional and the extent to which it would reflect our more liberal values revolved around our desire to allow individual worshipers the ability to draw their own interpretations from traditional texts. In our opinion, translating with poetic excellence or a desire to change the meanings of words for political correctness would create a prayerbook in which the part of the responsibility upon the reader has been limited by the writer.

  • The Ashkenazi Custom Not to Slaughter Geese in Tevet and Shevat
    179 The Ashkenazi Custom Not to Slaughter Geese in Tevet and Shevat By: ZVI RON The notes of R. Moshe Isserles supplement the Shulhaṇ Arukh by bringing the rulings and customs of Ashkenazi authorities. Scattered throughout his comments are references to various folkloric practices. These include the idea that placing the keys of the synagogue under a sick person’s head will cause them to pass away (Yoreh De‘ah 339:1),1 that blessing two grooms at once can bring on the evil eye (Even Haezer 62:3),2 and that a person can tell if they will survive the upcoming year by checking their shadow in the moonlight on Hoshana Rabbah (Orakh Hayyiṃ 664:1).3 In this article we will trace the origin of one such custom which is virtually forgotten today. R. Judah ha-Hasiḍ of Regensberg (1140–1217), a leading figure among the German Pietists (Hasideị Ashkenaz), is named as the source of an unusual Ashkenazi custom regarding the slaughter of geese. R. Moshe Isserles in his commentary to the Tur (Darkei Moshe, Yoreh De‘ah 11:2) notes that he found in the name of R. Judah ha-Hassiḍ that some slaugh- terers are careful not to slaughter geese during the month of Shevat. This is based on a tradition that whoever slaughters a goose during a particular hour in this month would die within the year. Since the precise hour is not known, slaughtering geese is avoided during the entire month. This is the reason people are careful not to eat geese during Shevat, lest they come to slaughter a goose during the dangerous hour.

According to the Hebrew calendar, the day begins at sunset, the week begins on Saturday night, and the new year is celebrated in the fall. The secular, or Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar, based on the fact that it takes 365.25 days for the earth to circle the sun. With only 365 days in a year, after four years an extra day is added to February and there is a leap year.

  • Tanya Sources.Pdf
    The Way to the Tree of Life Jewish practice entails fulfilling many laws. Our diet is limited, our days to work are defined, and every aspect of life has governing directives. Is observance of all the laws easy? Is a perfectly righteous life close to our heart and near to our limbs? A righteous life seems to be an impossible goal! However, in the Torah, our great teacher Moshe, Moses, declared that perfect fulfillment of all religious law is very near and easy for each of us. Every word of the Torah rings true in every generation. Lesson one explores how the Tanya resolved these questions. It will shine a light on the infinite strength that is latent in each Jewish soul. When that unending holy desire emerges, observance becomes easy. Lesson One: The Infinite Strength of the Jewish Soul The title page of the Tanya states: A Collection of Teachings ספר PART ONE לקוטי אמרים חלק ראשון Titled הנקרא בשם The Book of the Beinonim ספר של בינונים Compiled from sacred books and Heavenly מלוקט מפי ספרים ומפי סופרים קדושי עליון נ״ע teachers, whose souls are in paradise; based מיוסד על פסוק כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאד בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו upon the verse, “For this matter is very near to לבאר היטב איך הוא קרוב מאד בדרך ארוכה וקצרה ”;you, it is in your mouth and heart to fulfill it בעזה״י and explaining clearly how, in both a long and short way, it is exceedingly near, with the aid of the Holy One, blessed be He. "1 of "393 The Way to the Tree of Life From the outset of his work therefore Rav Shneur Zalman made plain that the Tanya is a guide for those he called “beinonim.” Beinonim, derived from the Hebrew bein, which means “between,” are individuals who are in the middle, neither paragons of virtue, tzadikim, nor sinners, rishoim.
