Welcome to the New Year, 5774. For thousands of years the Jewish people have celebrated the New Year with joy, hope, and thoughtful reflection. Today we are here to continue that tradition. The holidays of Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur provide time and space for self-examination and personal reflection. We are here to reflect on the year that has passed and open our hearts to the possibilities of the year to come. Today is a day of introspection and growth, of assessment and healing, of receptiveness and renewal. We evaluate and measure ourselves and our choices. We strive to take responsibility and to write our own destiny for the New Year. We ask: What has transpired this past year and what adjustments can we make to the next year individually, in our communities, and in the world? What do Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur mean to our community and to our families and ourselves? Today, we will consider these questions together, as a community. At this time, please turn and introduce yourself to someone sitting near you. If you are comfortable, join hands as we sing.

  • Young Israel of Hollywood-Ft. Lauderdale Guide to Tefillah and Halachic Times
    Young Israel of Hollywood-Ft. Lauderdale Guide to Tefillah and Halachic Times Thursday, May 28th; 5th of Sivan Erev Shavuot Candle lighting 7:49p Mincha 7:55p Sunset 8:07p Nightfall: 8:46p Eruv Tavshilin should be prepared. This year, Shavuot occurs on Friday and Shabbat. We are not generally allowed to prepare on one day of a holiday for another day. However, the Rabbis permitted preparing food for Shabbat on Erev Shabbat, provided an Eruv Tavshilin is made in advance. Through the process of Eruv Tavshilin, one actually begins Shabbat preparations on Erev Yom Tov, i.e. Thursday. An Eruv Tavshilin is made on Thursday in order to permit cooking on Friday for Shabbat. An Eruv Tavshilin consists of bread (or matzah) and a cooked food such as fish, meat or a hardboiled egg. The head of the house or any other member of the household takes the plate with the cooked food and the bread or matzah (preferably in the right hand) and says: ברוך אתה ה' אלקינו מלך העולם אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו על מצות ערוב We then recite the Eruv Tavshilin text (in Aramaic or English) בהדין עירובא יהא שרא לנא לאפויי ולבשולי ולאטמוני ולאדלוקי שרגא ולאפוקי ולמעבד כל צרכנא מיומא טבא לשבתא “By virtue of this Eruv, we (the members of the household) shall be permitted to cook, bake, keep food warm, carry, light candles and do all preparations on Yom Tov (i.e. Friday) for Shabbat.” Even though the Eruv is made, the food for Shabbat must be fully cooked before Shabbat begins and should preferably be prepared early on Friday, while there is still much of the day left, rather than leaving the preparations for the last minute.

  • Guide to Erev Pesach on Shabbat 5781 ~ 2021
    Guide to Erev Pesach on Shabbat 5781 ~ 2021 This year, 5781/2021, Pesach begins on Saturday night. With Erev Pesach falling on Shabbat, we will have some more pre-Pesach planning than usual. I hope you will find these guidelines helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions. ~ Rabbi Ken Brodkin Question 1: When do we search for Chametz? This year, we search for Chametz on Thursday night, March 25, after 8:15 pm. Before searching, we recite the Bracha of "Al Biur Chometz". Following the search, we say the paragraph of "Kol Chamira". Both these sections may be found in the Artscroll Siddur (Nusach Sephard) on pg. 700. The blessing marks the beginning of our destruction of Chametz; the "Kol Chamira" paragraph (the first of the two printed in the Siddur) annuls our ownership of any Chametz which has escaped our notice. Question 2: When do we burn our Chometz? So as not to create any confusion, we burn our Chametz on Friday, March 26, at the normal time that we would on a regular Erev Pesach—before 12:10 pm. We do not recite any blessing or “Kol Chamira” at that time. Question 3: When do we recite "Kol Chamira" annulling our ownership of Chametz? We do not recite the second "Kol Chamira" when burning our Chametz on Friday. We recite the first "Kol Chamira" when we search for Chametz on Thursday night. We recite the second “Kol Chamira” on Shabbat morning, before 12:10 pm, on pg. 700. Question 4: When do the first-born sons fast? This year, the fast is observed on Thursday, March 25.

I begin with a prayer of gratitude for all that is holy in my life. God needs no words, no English or Hebrew, no semantics and no services. But I need them. Through prayer, I can sense my inner strength, my inner purpose, my inner joy, my capacity to love. As I reach upward in prayer, I sense these qualities in my Creator. To love God is to love each other, to work to make our lives better. To love God is to love the world God created and to work to perfect it. To love God is to love dreams of peace and joy that illumine all of us, and to bring that vision to life. When We Sing By Michael Hunter Ochs When we sing, when we sing, when we sing, we pray twice.

  • Halachic Issues Commonly Encountered During a Hotel Stay
    Halachic Issues Commonly Encountered During a Hotel Stay on Shabbat and Yom Tov Rabbi Joshua Flug Community Fellow, Yeshiva University Center for the Jewish Future South Florida Initiative The modern hotel presents a number of challenges to the Shabbat observant Jew. In this article, we will present the most common challenges and the discussions surrounding possible solutions to deal with these challenges. This article is for educational purposes and is not intended to provide any definitive halachic rulings. One should consult with one's own rabbi on all matters of halacha. Amira L'Nochri and its Applications Hotels outside of Israel are generally staffed by non-Jews. While the hotel staff can be very helpful in helping one circumvent the many Shabbat challenges, there is a rabbinic prohibition against asking a non-Jew to perform a prohibited activity on Shabbat. In this section, we will discuss the nature of the prohibition, its leniencies and then provide the practical applications to the hotel stay. The source for the prohibition against amira l'nochri (asking a non-Jew to perform a prohibited activity) is a Mishna, Shabbat 121, which states that if there is a (non-dangerous) fire, one is prohibited from asking a non-Jew to extinguish the fire. The Gemara, Shabbat 150a, states that amira l'nochri is a rabbinic prohibition. Rashi (1040-1105) presents two reasons why amira l'nochri is prohibited. First, Rashi, Avodah Zarah 15a, s.v. Keivan, states that the prohibition against amira l'nochri is based on the prohibition against v'daber davar (Yeshaya 58:13), the prohibition against speaking about prohibited activities on Shabbat.

    2020 Children’s Sabbath Reimagining Our Future: Justice and Joy for All Children Jewish Resources for the Service Jewish Resources for Children’s Shabbat, appropriate for any year, are available here: https://www.childrensdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Childrens-Sabbath-JEWISH.pdf. In addition to those resources, the following resources are offered for the 2020 Children’s Shabbat, “Reimaging Our Future: Justice and Joy for All Children.” The multifaith National Observance of Children’s Sabbath weekend (October 16-18 this year) joins places of worship across the religious spectrum in prayer, education, and action to catalyze new, long-term action for justice. In addition to planning an emphasis on Children’s Shabbat in your services, please check out the 2020 Children’s Sabbath education and action resources. https://www.childrensdefense.org/search/?_sf_s=2020%20Children%E2%80%99s%20 Sabbath%20education%20and%20action%20resources The 2020 National Observance of Children’s Sabbaths is focusing on voter education and turnout, mindful, as CDF founder Marian Wright Edelman says, that “children can’t vote, but we can.” Two excellent voter engagement efforts in the Jewish community are: The National Council of Jewish Women Promote the Vote, Protect the Vote https://www.ncjw.org/act/action-resources/voter- engagement/ and The Union of Reform Judaism’s Every Voice, Every Vote https://rac.org/ rac-civic-engagement-campaign-2020-1. Be sure to connect with them for your Children’s Shabbat. Prayers and Readings for Children’s Shabbat: A Prayer for Lighting Shabbat Candles Each week at this hour descending into darkness I return to You, my arms laden with prayers.
