  • Tehillat Hashem and Other Verses Before Birkat Ha-Mazon
    301 Tehillat Hashem and Other Verses Before Birkat Ha-Mazon By: ZVI RON In this article we investigate the origin and development of saying vari- ous Psalms and selected verses from Psalms before Birkat Ha-Mazon. In particular, we will attempt to explain the practice of some Ashkenazic Jews to add Psalms 145:21, 115:18, 118:1 and 106:2 after Ps. 126 (Shir Ha-Ma‘alot) and before Birkat Ha-Mazon. Psalms 137 and 126 Before Birkat Ha-Mazon The earliest source for reciting Ps. 137 (Al Naharot Bavel) before Birkat Ha-Mazon is found in the list of practices of the Tzfat kabbalist R. Moshe Cordovero (1522–1570). There are different versions of this list, but all versions include the practice of saying Al Naharot Bavel.1 Some versions specifically note that this is to recall the destruction of the Temple,2 some versions state that the Psalm is supposed to be said at the meal, though not specifically right before Birkat Ha-Mazon,3 and some versions state that the Psalm is only said on weekdays, though no alternative Psalm is offered for Shabbat and holidays.4 Although the ex- act provenance of this list is not clear, the parts of it referring to the recitation of Ps. 137 were already popularized by 1577.5 The mystical work Seder Ha-Yom by the 16th century Tzfat kabbalist R. Moshe ben Machir was first published in 1599. He also mentions say- ing Al Naharot Bavel at a meal in order to recall the destruction of the 1 Moshe Hallamish, Kabbalah in Liturgy, Halakhah and Customs (Ramat Gan: Bar Ilan University Press, 2000), pp.

  • UNVERISTY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Spiritual Narrative In
    UNVERISTY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Spiritual Narrative in Sound and Structure of Chabad Nigunim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Music by Zachary Alexander Klein 2019 © Copyright by Zachary Alexander Klein 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Spiritual Narrative in Sound and Structure of Chabad Nigunim by Zachary Alexander Klein Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Richard Dane Danielpour , Co-Chair Professor David Samuel Lefkowitz, Co-Chair In the Chabad-Lubavitch chasidic community, the singing of religious folksongs called nigunim holds a fundamental place in communal and individual life. There is a well-known saying in Chabad circles that while words are the pen of the heart, music is the pen of the soul. The implication of this statement is that music is able to express thoughts and emotions in a deeper way than words could on their own could. In chasidic thought, there are various spiritual narratives that may be expressed through nigunim. These narratives are fundamental in understanding what is being experienced and performed through singing nigunim. At times, the narrative has already been established in Chabad chasidic literature and knowing the particular aspects of this narrative is indispensible in understanding how the nigun unfolds in musical time. ii In other cases, the particular details of this narrative are unknown. In such a case, understanding how melodic construction, mode, ornamentation, and form function to create a musical syntax can inform our understanding of how a nigun can reflect a particular spiritual narrative. This dissertation examines the ways in which musical syntax and spiritual parameters work together to express these various spiritual narratives in sound and structure of nigunim.

  • Torah Online - Rabbi Tuvia Bolton
    Torah Online - Rabbi Tuvia Bolton This week's section finishes the first of the Five Books of Moses; the Holy Bible given directly and publicly by the Creator of the Universe to the entire Jewish nation at Mount Sinai. But strangely this book isn't very Biblical! It contains no miracles, rituals, rites, commandments, prayers, meditations, mysterious messages or even sermons; the stuff The Bible is made of. But it does contain stories. There is a story about two authors who approached a Holy Rabbi by the name of Rebbe Yisroel of Ruzin some 150 years ago for approbations on books they had written. The first was a great Talmudic scholar who wrote a sizable masterpiece explaining various complicated Talmudic concepts while the other, a much simpler Jew, brought a book of stories he had compiled. They presented their works to the Rebbe and waited for his response. The Rebbe examined the larger book for several moments, put it down on his table and then glanced through the second book, smiled at the author, praised him warmly, wrote a glowing approbation, blessed him with success and only after he left the room turn to the other Chassid, praise his work and write a glowing recommendation. The second Chassid was pleased … but perplexed to the point that he respectfully asked why it was that the Rebbe seemed to favor the other book and approved it first when his work obviously involved more effort, time and painstaking work. "Very simply", the Rebbe answered. "Just as the Torah begins with stories; namely the entire book of Genesis, and only then begins the other four books where the commandments are found.

  • NISSAN Rosh Chodesh Is on Sunday
    84 NISSAN The Molad: Friday afternoon, 4:36. The moon may be sanctified until Shabbos, the 15th, 10:58 a.m.1 The spring equinox: Friday, the 7th, 12:00 a.m. Rosh Chodesh is on Shabbos Parshas Tazria, Parshas HaChodesh. The laws regarding Shabbos Rosh Chodesh are explained in the section on Shabbos Parshas Mikeitz. In the Morning Service, we recite half-Hallel, then a full Kaddish, the Song of the Day, Barchi nafshi, and then the Mourner’s Kaddish. Three Torah scrolls are taken out. Six men are given aliyos for the weekly reading from the first scroll. A seventh aliyah is read from the second scroll, from which we read the passages describing the Shabbos and Rosh Chodesh Mussaf offerings (Bamidbar 28:9-15), and a half-Kaddish is recited. The Maftir, a passage from Parshas Bo (Sh’mos 12:1-20) which describes the command to bring the Paschal sacrifice, is read from the third scroll. The Haftorah is Koh amar... olas tamid (Y’chezkel 45:18-46:15), and we then add the first and last verses of the Haftorah Koh amar Hashem hashomayim kis’ee (Y’shayahu 66:1, 23- 24, and 23 again). Throughout the entire month of Nissan, we do not recite Tachanun, Av harachamim, or Tzidkas’cha. The only persons who may fast during this month are ones who had a disturbing dream, a groom and bride on the day of their wedding, and the firstborn on the day preceding Pesach. For the first twelve days of the month, we follow the custom of reciting the Torah passages describing the sacrifices which the Nesi’im (tribal leaders) offered on these dates at the time the Sanctuary was dedicated in the desert.

    ב"ה Family Treasures Memento from the wedding of Efraim and Shaina Duchman 15th of Elul, 5774 • September 10, 2014 Prepared by Dovid Zaklikowski ([email protected]). The Rebbe at the wedding of chosson's grandparents, Mendel and Sara Shemtov, 10 Tamuz, 5716 (June 19th, 1956). In the center (wearing glasses), is his great-grandfather, Reb Zalman Duchman. WELCOME To our dear family and friends, At all joyous events we begin by thanking G-d for granting us life, sustaining us and enabling us to be here together. We are thrilled that you are here to share in our simcha - joyous occasion. Indeed, Jewish law enjoins the entire community to bring joy and elation to the chosson and kallah - the bride and groom. The wedding of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, took place in Warsaw in 1928. In honor of the occasion, the bride’s father, the sixth Chabad Rebbe, distributed a special teshurah, memento, to all the celebrants: a facsimile of a manuscript letter written by the first Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi. Following this tradition, we are honored to present our memento: a compilation of letters Rabbi Schneur Zalman Duchman, Efraim’s paternal great-grandfather, received from the Rebbe. This is an excerpt from the forthcoming book of stories, translated into English for the first time. This memento is crowned with Mazel Tov wishes from the Rebbe to Shaina's parents and from Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka and Rebbetzin Chana, the Rebbe's mother, to her grandparents, Rabbi Asher and Nechama Heber, may they be blessed with many more happy and healthy years.
