I have been much humbled witnessing how citizens of Edinburgh from all communities and all walks of life have come together and united in helping each other to withstand the challenges and pressures that Covid brings. Once again, I commend the Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation for their care, concern and support not only for each other but for those around them. For many, the last year has been harder than at the start of the crisis, but your members have remained steadfast in ensuring their care. As we enter into a new period, with restrictions eased and liberties less curtailed, I send the Lady Provost’s and my good wishes for the New Year ahead. We hope that the coming year of 5782 will bring much good health, success and happiness for the Jewish community in Edinburgh, a community much valued and respected. 5 The Chief Rabbi’s Rosh Hashanah Message 5782 In 1968, social psychologists Bibb Latané and John Darley conducted a remarkable study, known as the Smoky Room Experiment. Subjects were placed alone in a room and asked to complete a task. While they were doing so, smoke began to fll the room from a nearby air vent. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of subjects reported the smoke within a matter of minutes. However, when subjects were placed in the same room in groups, the results were dramatically diferent. Rather than reporting the smoke, the subjects looked to one another. If the others in the room seemed unmoved by the smoke, it was ignored. The authors of the study observed that, if people are alone when they notice an emergency, they consider themselves solely responsible for dealing with it. However, when others are also present, they feel less of a responsibility for taking action. As social beings, we often cannot help but use the actions of others as our frame of reference for the way in which we choose to behave. This poses a profound challenge to our society. Can we lead more environmentally sustainable lives or act cautiously to prevent the spread of Covid when those around us seem disinclined to do the same? Can we lead lives of responsibility and morality when those around us do not? The Jewish answer to this challenge is our High Holy Days. The Torah reading for Rosh Hashanah seems a surprising choice. On the anniversary of the creation of the world, we would surely expect to read about the creation from the Book of Genesis. Instead, we read the story of a person who was born into a world of idolatry and sacrilege. Yet, Abraham, the father of our people, repeatedly demonstrated his commitment to Hashem without hesitation. He became the frst parent in our tradition to circumcise their son and was even prepared to countenance sacrifcing him. While not hiding behind the standards and expectations of those around him, Abraham knew what Hashem required of him. No amount of social pressure could dissuade him from his life of truth and sanctity. On the Yamim Noraim, each one of us stands, accountable for our deeds, before Hashem. As we recite so powerfully in our Musaf prayers: Just as a shepherd appraisesed and evaluated his fock; by just Hashem. as he passes There every sheep beneath his staf; so too, every one of us is count is nobody for us to hide behind, nor anyone for us to blame. As such, our High Holy Days are a moment of the purest and most honest dialogue with our Creator. He knows every challenge we face as well as our capacity to rise to them. The last eighteen months have been a period of extraordinary adversity which has imposed challenges upon us all in ways that we may only be beginning to understand. As we enter 5782, the High Holydays provide a precious opportunity for each one of us to look deep within ourselves and reframe our attitude and our behaviour. Let us be guidedblessed by our eternal with a futureTorah ofvalues spiritual rather fulflment, than the transient whims of others.

  • Melaveh Malkah 5773 9-Feb-13 Rosh Chodesh Adar 5773 on the Cover
    Melaveh Malkah 5773 9-Feb-13 Rosh Chodesh Adar 5773 On The Cover Pictured on the cover is the original hand executed papercut entitled “Pitchu Li Sha’arei Tzedek...Open for Me the Gates of Righteousness…” (Tehillim 118:19). Created after the artist was inspired by a beautiful niggun of the Hallel Tefillah, the artwork is modeled after a traditional stone gate and ironwork one might find in the Old City of Yerushalayim. The pesukim describe the Holy City’s special feeling of tranquility and closeness to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Hand-detailed gold gouache, Hebrew and English calligraphy, assembly and hand-made colored background paper completed the piece. About the Artist Moshe Braun, Sofer STaM and Judaica Artist, RBS-A An artist since early childhood, Moshe attended the University of Michigan School of Art, earning a BFA concentrating in Industrial Design. After studying intensively in Yeshivot, both in the USA and Israel, Moshe trained and became a Sofer Musmach of the Vaad Mishmeret STaM of Jerusalem. Upon moving with his family from Yerushalayim to Ramat Beit Shemesh, Moshe established his studio upstairs in the old Ahavas Sha- lom location. Moshe relies on intuition and inspiration to capture the spirit, beauty and longing, the history and the majesty, of the Jewish People and the Land of Israel. Moshe employs his varied background as an artist, including industrial design, drawing, painting, photography, two and three dimensional design, and Sofrut, to come up with unique visions of expressionistic concepts. Moshe has gained renown for his use of color to communicate feeling and his fine attention to intricate detail.

The supreme court of the US, has ruled that religious rights are not lost by the individual upon incarcration. Not all state or county prisons as of yet, offer the Jewish inmates the right to practice their religion equally, Jewish requirments permited in one state and one institution might not be permitted in the second institution. For some all it will take is an inmates request, for policy to be written or edited, for others it may take a little more. This book is not intended to make you a Rabbi or proficient with Jewish law as to make deci- sions of law importance, or become an authority on Jewish law. This booklet is to help you under- stand some of the pressing Jewish religious issues, issues you will hear being spoken in the prison you visit.

  • A Guide to Shabbos Erev Pesach
    AA GGuuiiddee ttoo SShhaabbbbooss EErreevv PPeessaacchh © 2005 by Targum Press All rights reserved Not for retail sale Note to the Reader In 1927, the gaon and halachic authority Rabbi Yisrael Weltz, the Rabbi of Budapest, published a compendium of halachos and customs pertaining to erev Pesach when it falls on Shabbos. It was entitled Chok LeYisrael. This work was republished in 1930. A new edition was published in 1960, and a later edition, reedited and annotated by R. Sholom Meshullem Weinberger, in 1974. That year, R. Zvi Cohen of Bnei Brak published a halachic guide to erev Pesach on Shabbos, entitled Erev Pesach SheChal BeShabbos, which relied heavily on Chok LeYisrael. This English compendium draws extensively from the above-mentioned Hebrew works. Shabbos 7 Nissan April 16, 2005 1. Shabbos HaGadol Talk 2. Maariv on Motza’ei Shabbos 3. Melaveh Malkah 1.
