    B”Sd Minhagim of Congregation Tiferes Yisroel As Given

    b”sd Minhagim of Congregation Tiferes Yisroel as given over by Rabbi Menachem Goldberger Yom Kippur Erev Yom Kippur • It is a mitzva to eat and drink erev Y"K. • Rabbi Goldberger's minhag is to have a fleishig seudah in the morning before chatzos. The pizmon from the erev Y"K slichos, "Machar Yihyeh Haos Hazeh", is said at this seudah. • The seuda hamafsekes is after mincha. Kreplach are eaten at this seudah. • Mikveh is a chiyuv for men • Mikveh for women - It is a long-standing minhag (esp. among Chasidim) for women, and girls under Bas Mitzvah, to go to the mikveh erev Y"K (girls over Bas Mitzvah should not go to the mikveh until after they are married). This immersion does not remove the status of nidda. It is for spiritual purity. (The women's mikveh in Baltimore is open for a short period of time erev Y"K morning for this purpose. Call the mikveh for information.) • Kapparos: chicken or money. If using a chicken, it should be waved over each family member's head in their presence. Give tzedaka - $5/person. If using money, use coins, not paper money, waving the coins over each person's head. Give the money to tzdakah; $5/person. • During or following the seudah hamafsekes, the father bentsches the children with the special erev Y"K bracha that is found in the Y"K machzor. • A Ner Neshama is lit. One per family is sufficient. This is in addition to any yahrtzeit candles the family may be lighting. Yom Kippur Greeting • After Rosh HaShanah, and through Yom Kippur, we greet each other with "G'mar chasima tova" (which has the general meaning of: May you be conclusively sealed for the good).

    High Holy Days 5782 Thi El Mo na ls o: High Holy Days 5782 Wel to Elu M or Elul is the last month of our Jewish calendar, the month when we transition from one year to the next. For generations, Jews across the world have spent this month of Elul reflecting on the previous year and thinking ahead to the new one. We invite you to do the same, and present the Elul Moon Journal! This journal invites folks of all ages to lean into the spiritual work of the High Holy Days season and 5782, the new year, with nightly journal prompts or discussion questions, and opportunities to track the moon’s progress through Elul. Journal one night, every night, or something in between. Resd to Pp n Tac t Mo Each evening of Elul corresponds to a page in this journal. The Hebrew dates you see on each page are the dates that begin at sundown those evenings. If the question stirs something in you, respond to it. If you find your pencil moving to a different beat, follow your heart. Feel free to incorporate a combination of writing and drawing. Our ancestors used the phases of the moon to track time. So too can we find meaning in centering ourselves around its waxing and waning. Before or aer your journal entry each night, hold up your paper to a window through which you can see the moon. Then trace it. Over the course of Elul, watch the skies and your journal pages as the moon grows from a sliver at the start to its full position by Rosh HaShanah.

Mandowsky, Berlin Albert Wolf2 in Dresden (died in 1907), no stranger to “Ost und West”—the year’s issues of 1903 include his essay “Daniel Chodowiecki and Moses Mendelssohn”—was known as collector of Jewish antiquities and art objects. Filled with love and enthusiasm for Judaism, he spared no time, effort, or expenses to increase his collection. He made it his life’s sacred mission to prevent the testimonies of Jewish art and cultural activities, as far as they were still available for purchase, from being squandered or even wrecked. Thus, coins, medals, seals, stamps, all kinds of art- and ritual devices, copper engravings, drawings, photographs, illustrated manuscripts, autographs, rare writings for special occasions and prints piled up in his house.

    Hear the Shofar! Daily Blasts During Elul Daily Sounding of the Shofar During the Hebrew month of Elul, we sound the shofar every day. These blasts are a “wake-up” call to our spirits, intended to inspire and remind us to engage in the soul searching needed to prepare for the High Holy Days. The sound is also significant as it brings our community together and elevates our Divine spirit. Beginning on the first day of Elul, August 9 and continuing until September 5, we will gather on Zoom every evening (except for Friday evenings, when the shofar will be heard during Shabbat services) at 6:00 pm for a brief message for reflection and to hear the shofar. On Saturdays, we will begin with Havdalah. Please join us on Zoom (no prior registration needed). We will start at 6:00, and the Shofar will be sounded at about 6:05. You may drop in early to shmooze if you wish. Click here to join every evening at 6:00pm! We also invite everyone to help sound the shofar during these gatherings! There are 24 opportunities. If you or a member of your family would like to blow the shofar for us, please contact Lisa Feldman. Daily Emails During the Month of Elul Once again, Ritual Committee members have curated a series of brief readings on the themes of the High Holy Days season. Sign up to receive a short, daily email posing ideas and questions for reflection about the themes of the Days of Awe.

    מחזור ראש השנה תשפ׳׳א Rosh HashanA MachZoR 5781/2020 A HALAKHICALLY CONDENSED MACHZOR FOR COMMUNAL SAFETY & SPIRITUALITY DURING COVID-19 This Machzor is Dedicated in Memory of MaRgaret & Paul FedeR, Z"L BY THEIR LOVING CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN THE OHR TORAH STONE FAMILY HONORS THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO HAVE DIED FROM COVID-19 AND EXTENDS A REFUAH SHLEIMAH TO THOSE WHO ARE COMBATING THIS DISEASE. Introduction "אָבִ ינו מַ לְ כנו מְ נַע מַ גפָה מִ נַחֲלָתֶ ָך....אָבִ ינו מַ לְ כנו פְתַח שַ ֲערֵי שָמַ יִם לִתְ פִלָתֵ נו." “Our father, Our King, remove the plague from Your society... Open the gates of heaven to our prayers.” Rosh Hashanah of 5781/2020, taking place in the midst of this global pandemic, presents manifold challenges, among them the conducting of minyanim. To meet the needs of these challenging times, we have created this Machzor, which is a combination of sensitivity to both the sanctity of Rosh Hashana and its unique prayers and “Piyutim,” intertwined with the need to conduct more numerous minyanim in a short span of time, as well as limit the amount of time people should be together, due both to local health regulations, as well as the difficulty of wearing a mask for such a long period of time. This Machzor is appropriate for “Shacharit” and “Musaf” for Rosh Hashanah 5781/2020 only containing the various obligatory prayers while omitting “Korbanot,” parts of “Pesukei Dezimra” and many beautiful “Piyutim,” which we encourage to recite privately and can be said till the conclusion of the day after services.

    [Answers.] 1. True Or False: Purim Is a Major Jewish Holiday. [False

    PURIM TRIVIA GAME* [Answers.] 1. True or False: Purim is a major Jewish holiday. [False. It is not mentioned in the Five Books of Moses or Torah. The High Holy Days, Passover and Festivals are considered major holidays.] 2. True or False: Purim is celebrated everywhere only on one day in the Hebrew month of Adar? [False. Purim is celebrated on 14th day of Adar in most places, but in Jerusalem and other walled cities (like Shuhsan of ancient Persia where it originated) it is celebrated on the 15th of Adar since the news of the Jews victory took longer to get dispersed to outlying areas.] 3. True or False: The name Purim is derived from a Hebrew word whose plural form means “lots” relating to a kind of lottery drawing. [True. It derives also from Aramaic for “a small smooth object” tossed to determine a winner. It is thought that Haman used a random drawing to select the day on which the Jews were to be annihilated.] 4. True or False: This holiday originated with an historic event in the 5th century BCE in the ancient land of Israel. [False. It originated with an event circa the 5th century in Shushan, Persia, today known as Iran.] 5. Why is the name of G-d not mentioned even once in the entire Book of Esther from which Purim originated? [Since the original was written in the form of a scrolled letter sent to the far off areas of the Kingdom to describe the reason for celebration, it was open to great risks of being mishandled or desecrated.
  • High Holy Days

    High Holy Days

    5781 HIGH HOLY DAYS SEPTEMBER 18–28, 2020 Dear Friends, Shanah Tovah! Sitting at Sacred Heart last year, celebrating together, I doubt that anyone could have imagined, let alone predicted, the situation we find ourselves in this year. More than once in recent months, someone has said to me, “if this was a novel, we would have criticized it as unbelievable.” Yet deep within our Jewish celebration of the new year is an awareness of the tenuousness of life, of our reality as ephemeral beings, of the uncertainty with which we face each day. Our prayers proclaim this awesome and frightening reality as we contemplate the possibilities that might confront us. Over these holy days, we celebrate and we mourn, we consider where we have missed the mark, and reflect on what is most important to us, what we would want to do if we knew our time was short. This year there is a somber aspect to the new year, but that should not overshadow its sweetness. This year’s realization that “anything can happen” worries us, but we shouldn’t lose sight of its promise; anything can happen, so we can’t give up. New babies, new reconciliations, hopes and dreams fulfilled, these too are possible. Nehemiah reassured the people on a Rosh HaShanah 2,500 years ago telling them “not to weep…but to eat and drink things that are sweet and delicious and share with those who have nothing.” As have generations of Jews before us, in their own times of trouble and of joy, we pray: May the old year with its curses be ended, may the new year with its promise begin.
