This Siddur is a reflection of our belief that Judaism is an evolving religion, a "living tree" that encourages the creation of new traditions as it respects the old. We hope that in using it you will find opportunities to enhance your own spirituality, learning, and practice.

Words Of Welcome To Those Worshipping With Us Congregation Etz Chayim is a participatory congregation. Our services are led with the expectation that the leaders choose their way through the text and set the pace and the key, but that what is really important is what each individual worshipper does. Accordingly, this Siddur (prayerbook) has been compiled with the intent of encouraging participation by making the service accessible and understandable. Oftentimes there are options to be read. In our congregation we always feel free to read those parts of the service (including the commentary) that are interesting to us at any time, whether or not it is what is being suggested by the leader from the bimah. Those of us who arrive late also are free to begin the service at the beginning and to catch up at our own pace. We are free to stand or sit as is appropriate to our private devotion, no matter what is being led. On many weeks we will have the honor of welcoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah into adult Jewish ritual opportunities and responsibilities. On those weeks one of the greatest gifts we can bestow upon the Bar/t Mitzvah is to participate enthusiastically with our voices as well as with our hearts. May This Door May the door of this synagogue be wide enough to receive all who hunger for love, all who are lonely for fellowship. May it welcome all who have cares to unburden, thanks to express, hopes to nurture. May the door of this synagogue be narrow enough to shut out pettiness and pride, envy and enmity. May its threshold be no stumbling block to young or straying feet. May it be too high to admit complacency, selfishness, and harshness. May this synagogue be, for all who enter, the doorway to a richer and more meaningful life. Rabbi Sidney Greenberg Likrat Shabbat, p. 17 1 On Being Distracted by AvRam Aryeh Sometimes we are in the mood to read the service's words and follow along in song. Sometimes we are not. At those times, the act of studying the text of the Siddur (prayerbook) is the equivalent of piously saying it. Wrestling with the words with which we agree or disagree is the equivalent of worshipping G0d. Who knows? The distractions that keep us from following the congregation might be meant especially for us to hear today. Distraction can be a form of revelation, for it can indicate those things about which we are most concerned. And what better place to wrestle with them than here in the assembly of our people engaged in seeking elevated thoughts?

Each part adds meaning to the others before and after it. KABBALAT SHABBAT: Fully, physically, and spiritually, Greeting Shabbat MA'ARIV: The 3-part Evening Service containing the Sh'ma, Amidah, Conclusion. SH'MA SERVICE: The Service is organized in the form of a ring. The most important prayer, in this case, the Sh'ma / v'Ahavta, are in the middle, and the other blessings surround them. Each prayer begins with a kavannah ("intention"), followed by the traditional form of the prayer and alternative songs and readings. Each prayer ends with the traditional chatimah, the "Signature Ending," as well as a note guiding you on to the next traditional part of the service. Bar'chu: the call to study Torah (the Sh'ma and v'Ahavta are from the Torah's Book of Deuteronomy) 1. Ma'ariv Aravim/Creation of Light, in this case, of the twilight that augurs the new day 2.

The depth of pathos as the writer probed the suffering of Zion and his own suf­ fering is unprecedented. Each chapter is an entity in itself, a com­ plete poem.1 The most obvious literary device utilized by the poet is the acrostic; that is, poems are built around the letters of the alpha­ bet.

    Deciphering-Jewish-Gravestones.Pdf

    Deciphering Jewish Gravestones Philip Trauring Originally published on bloodandfrogs.com March 8, 2020 My 2011 article on Jewish gravestone symbols has long been one of the most popular posts on my web site. In that article, I discuss the symbols found on Jewish gravestones, but not the text. I wrote in the first paragraph that I will likely write about the text at some point in the future. Unfortunately, I waited nine years to do so, but here’s a look at some of the Hebrew text you might find on a Jewish gravestone, and how to decipher it. We should get some terminology out the way. We’re talking about Hebrew inscriptions on מצבה kever, and the gravestone itself a קבר gravestones. In Hebrew we call the grave a matseva (lit. monument). There isn’t a particularly good Hebrew word for epitaph (the the writing on the gravestone. We do use the word הכתובת על המצבה inscription), it’s just hesped for eulogy, and you can think of some of the inscription to be a eulogy. As this הספד is intended as an introduction to this topic, I’ll simply use the English terms most of the time. Let’s jump in with a gravestone I photographed in Warsaw in 2018. I like this inscription because it’s fairly clear and it duplicates almost all the information from the Hebrew in Polish, allowing everything to be confirmed. We have here a Professor Markus Zamenof, who was born in 1837 and died in 1907. I’ve underlined key parts of the Hebrew, and explain it all in the table below the photo.

    Sample ISRAEL Tikkun Olam Activities Leslie Gubitz, NFTY-OV

    Sample ISRAEL Tikkun Olam Activities Leslie Gubitz, NFTY-OV SAVP 2006-2007 Judaism is the only religion in which Tzedakah is not a once-in-a-while action, but instead is encouraged to be practiced every day. Jews are guided to give Tzedakah often, commit to Social Action regularly, as well as promote Tikkun Olam among other friends and families. Often it is difficult to involve youth group members in Social Action activities if the participants do not instantly see the effects of their actions. However, Maimonides’ Eight Levels of Tzedakah stresses that although Tzedakah may affect the recipient on many different levels, ALL Tzedakah is important. It is strongly encouraged that you teach this value to your youth group so that they can understand that not every Social Action activity provides visible advances, and yet all forms of Tikkun Olam are acceptable, appreciated, and necessary. EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS! TZEDAKAH: An Explanation of Maimonides Eight Levels of Tzedakah as well how Tzedakah and Charity can utilized through modern day Judaism. This program might be used in whole or in part and could aid in introducing Tikkun Olam and Social Action to any sized youth group. (Appendix A) Once your youth group has had an introduction to Tikkun Olam and Social Action, be sure to give them more opportunities to commit to helping others. BY organizing events, lock-ins, programs, or drives your youth group will be able to aid the community or world through outreach activities. A specific interest that you should relay to your youth group is the need for support for Israel.

    What Is Hanukkah? All the Info You Need to Know About Chanukah

    What Is Hanukkah? All the info you need to know about Chanukah http://www.chabad.org/holidays/chanukah/article_cdo/aid/102911/jewish/What-Is-Hanukkah.htm Chanukah is the Jewish eight-day, wintertime “festival of lights,” celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting, special prayers and fried foods. The Hebrew word Chanukah means “dedication,” and is thus named because it celebrates the rededication of the Holy Temple (as you’ll read below). Also spelled Hanukkah (or variations of that spelling), the Hebrew word is actually pronounced with a guttural, “kh” sound, kha-nu-kah, not tcha- new-kah. What Chanukah Commemorates In the second century BCE, the Holy Land was ruled by the Seleucids (Syrian-Greeks), who tried to force the people of Israel to accept Greek culture and beliefs instead of mitzvah observance and belief in G-d. Against all odds, a small band of faithful Jews, led by Judah the Maccabee, defeated one of the mightiest armies on earth, drove the Greeks from the land, reclaimed the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and rededicated it to the service of G-d. When they sought to light the Temple's Menorah (the seven-branched candelabrum), they found only a single cruse of olive oil that had escaped contamination by the Greeks. Miraculously, they lit the menorah and the one-day supply of oil lasted for eight days, until new oil could be prepared under conditions of ritual purity. To commemorate and publicize these miracles, the sages instituted the festival of Chanukah. How Chanukah Is Observed At the heart of the festival is the nightly menorah lighting.

  • INTRODUCING SIDDUR LEV CHADASH Charles H Middleburgh on Behalf of John D Rayner

    INTRODUCING SIDDUR LEV CHADASH Charles H Middleburgh on Behalf of John D Rayner

    33¢, INTRODUCING SIDDUR LEV CHADASH Charles H Middleburgh on behalf of John D Rayner On this momentous day in our movement’s history I stand here to perform a function that all of us would have liked John Rayner to have been able to carry out. John is recovering well from his heart surgery and we send him our sincere good wishes for a refitah sh ’lemah, a speedy return to full health and vigour. In his unavoidable absence, and based almost totally on the text he would have delivered to you all, it therefore gives me great pleasure(although the phrase has rarely seemed less adequate) to present to this conference, and to the Union of Liberal and Progressive Synagogues, the long-awaited Siddur Lev Chadash. I do so on behalf of the Editorial Committee and all who have been involved in the compilation and production of the book. It has been said that objectivity is a fine quality that each of us should develop, and I dare say that there are many who would approach the presentation of Siddur Lev Chadash with far greater objectivity than do I; my excuse then for being here, in spite of my irrcdeemably subjective approach to my present task is that I do, at least, have the advantage of - knowing the new book rather well just as a parent knows its child; r‘ if. except, of course, that this particular child is biologically unusual in that its gestation has taken several years, and that it has a plurality of COLLEG mothers and fathers, otherwise known as the Editorial Committee.
