October About 1,900 years ago, in the first century of the Common Era, two rabbis had an argument. They were SATURDAY, OCT. 1 debating the essence of Judaism. What is Judaism’s Torah Study ...................................9:15 a.m. most important teaching? Rabbi Akiva had the answer. Shabbat Minyan Services............10:30 a.m. He said, quoting Leviticus 19, “Love your neighbor as SUNDAY, OCT. 2 yourself.” That, he said is the basic rule of Torah. His friend, Rabbi Erev Rosh Hashanah Services......5:30 p.m. Shimon ben Azzai differed. “I know a more basic rule than that.” He MONDAY, OCT 3 went on to quote from Genesis 5. “On the day God created human Rosh Hashanah Morning beings, God created them in the image of God (B’tzelem Elohim); male Services .......................................10:00 a.m. Concurrent Children’s Program – and female, God created them, blessing them and calling them Ages 3 through Grade 4 human.” Young Children’s Services What is the meaning of the debate? Rabbi Akiva is a romantic on the Beach....................................3:00 p.m. character. The story of his marriage is one of the true love stories of Tashlich on the Beach ....................3:30 p.m. Talmud. A mystic, Akiva’s love of God never faltered even as he was being tortured to death by the Romans. As he was suffering an FRIDAY, OCT 7 excruciating death, the Talmud relates his words. “Until now I never Parshat Vayelech, Deut. 31:3-30 Kabbalat Shabbat Services .........5:30 p.m. understood why Torah tells us to love God with all your heart and all your soul. Isn’t all your heart enough? But now I understand – even if SATURDAY, OCT 8 God takes your soul, you love God. And with that his soul returned to Torah Study ...................................9:15 a.m. God.” For Akiva, there is no greater mitzvah than love. Shabbat Minyan Services............10:30 a.m. Ben Azzai has two problems with Akiva’s formula. Firstly, he questions TUESDAY, OCT 11 how we can be commanded to love someone. Certainly there are Kol Nidre Services ...................... 7:30 p.m. people whom I cannot love. There are miserable people out there; WEDNESDAY, OCT 12 there are people who have hurt me or others. There are people out Yom Kippur Morning Services..10:00 a.m. there who do some particularly unlovable things. Isn’t it too much to Healing Services..............................1:00 p.m. ask that I love them? Am I really transgressing Torah if I fail to love Young Children’s Services .............2:00 p.m. Afternoon Services .........................3:30 p.m. people who act in a vile and hateful way? Ben Azzai asserts that love is Yizkor & Neila ..................................4:00 p.m. not required as the basic rule of Torah. You don’t have to love them, but always remember that they are human beings, created in the image of FRIDAY, OCT 14 God. Treat them that way even if you can’t love them. Human decency Parshat Haazinu, Deut. 32:1-52 should not depend on my ability to muster a feeling of love for the Kabbalat Shabbat ....................... 5:30 p.m. other. SATURDAY, OCT. 15 Additionally, Ben Azzai questions the meaning of neighbor. Some Torah Study ...................................9:15 a.m. people believe that the word neighbor applies only to Jews, or only to Shabbat Minyan Services............10:30 a.m. pious Jews. Ben Azzai offers a principle that is far more universal; his SUNDAY, OCT. 16 formula has no exceptions, since it goes right to the very beginning. Erev Sukkot Services & Dinner ...5:30 p.m. Every human being is created in the image of God. Love them or not, FRIDAY, OCT 21 Parshat Sukkot, Ex. 33:12-34:6 neighbor or enemy, you must treat them all as you would treat the Pre-neg ..........................................5:30 p.m. image of God. You must treat all people, regardless of the circumstances, as you would the image of God. Kabbalat Shabbat Services ........ 6:00 p.m. Our two rabbis are arguing about basic principles of human SATURDAY, OCT. 22 aspiration. Akiva is motivated by an unwavering dedication to loving Torah Study ...................................9:15 a.m. Bar Mitzvah of Ethan Levine .......10:30 a.m. God. In order to truly be a lover of God, one must struggle to love all Son of Michael & Alyson Levine of God’s creation and every human being. Ben Azzai is motivated by his inability to muster the love that his friend Akiva was able to achieve. SUNDAY, OCT. 23 And yet, Ben Azzai aspired to a world of devotion to God and God’s Erev Simchat Torah Services creation that sees everyone, even those with whom he could not & Dinner ........................................5:30 p.m. disagree more, as Tzelem Elohim. Thus, he was respectful, honorable FRIDAY, OCT 28 and generous of spirit. Parshat Bereshit, Gen. 1:1-6:8 As we approach the Holy Days, I find the teaching of Shimon ben Kabbalat Shabbat ....................... 5:30 p.m. Azzai to be profoundly moving. Love of every single person may be SATURDAY, OCT. 29 too much to ask, but respect and honor for the image of God they Torah Study ...................................9:15 a.m. represent is not.

    We are grateful for all the good we receive from behemot, from domesticated animals. Some of us eat them, some wear their skins, some eat eggs and cheese, some use medicines and even organs that come from animals, some wear wool and silk, some write on Torah scrolls, wear tefillin, and blow shofarot that come from animal’s bodies.

  • Daf Ditty Pesachim 71: the Core of Joy
    Daf Ditty Pesachim 71: The Core of Joy 1 at the time of rejoicing, on the Festival itself, and if it was slaughtered on the fourteenth it is not. The mitzva to bring a Festival peace-offering is also not fulfilled, for it is something that is an obligation, as everyone is obligated to bring this offering, and the principle is that anything that is an obligation must come only from that which is unconsecrated, meaning that one cannot bring an obligatory offering from an animal that has already been consecrated for another purpose. The Gemara proposes: Let us say that a baraita supports him. The verse states: Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto the LORD thy God 15 וט ְתּמתיﬠִשׁב ָי,םחַָ ֹגִ FֱהDיוהַלהא ֶ,יָ ֶ,יָ FֱהDיוהַלהא in the place which the LORD shall choose; because the LORD קשׁ,ַבּאםמּ ֲֶָרוֹ - ְיָהוה: ְִיַבחר יִכּ Fבי ְהְכהויר ְֶָָ ְהְכהויר Fבי יִכּ thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work ,בֶּיFֱאDה לתְּכ בFְָתוּאבֹ למְכְוּ הֲַשׂﬠֹ ֵי ,ֶיFָד ,ֶיFָד ֵי הֲַשׂﬠֹ למְכְוּ בFְָתוּאבֹ לתְּכ ,בֶּיFֱאDה .of thy hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful ֵָשַׂמ.ח ְוִָייהָ,תַאT ֵָשַׂמ.ח Deut 16:15 “Seven days shall you celebrate to the Lord your God in the place that the Lord shall choose, for the Lord your God shall bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be but joyous” This verse seems superfluous, as it was already stated in the previous verse: “And you shall rejoice in your Festival.” The baraita expounds: “And you shall be but joyous” comes to include the last night of the Festival.

  • Rosh Hashanah Jewish New Year
    ROSH HASHANAH JEWISH NEW YEAR “The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the Israelite people thus: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe complete rest, a sacred occasion commemorated with loud blasts. You shall not work at your occupations; and you shall bring an offering by fire to the LORD.” (Lev. 23:23-25) ROSH HASHANAH, the first day of the seventh month (the month of Tishri), is celebrated as “New Year’s Day”. On that day the Jewish people wish one another Shanah Tovah, Happy New Year. ש נ ָׁהָׁטוֹב ָׁה Rosh HaShanah, however, is more than a celebration of a new calendar year; it is a new year for Sabbatical years, a new year for Jubilee years, and a new year for tithing vegetables.

  • Yom Kippur Yizkor – out of Time – 9.28.20
    Drasha – Yom Kippur Yizkor – Out of Time – 9.28.20 One of the details we’ve had to contend with as we work on coming back to synagogue is the signage. We want to make sure that, as different as things are, everyone knows where to go and where not to go, what to do and what not to do. We have signs with arrows pointing us in the right direction, we have signs with rules about COVID safety protocols, and we have signs telling not to go beyond this point. The Torah has a similar sign in the form of a verse in the Book of Leviticus. It says (Vayikra 16:2) V’Al Yavo B’Chol Eit El HaKodesh – And don’t come at any time into the [Inner] Sanctum. Rabbi Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz, author of the biblical commentary Kli Yakar, explains the verse as saying that the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) couldn’t go to the Kodesh Kadoshim (Temple Inner Sanctum) on any day of the year related to time. He was only allowed to go there on the day of the year that is beyond time, which is Yom Kippur. Time is a creation. This is the reason time has limitations, such as before and after. There is one day a year that is above time: Yom Kippur. On this day, we don’t eat or drink; we become like angels, heavenly beings, beyond the boundaries of the physical world. The Kodesh Kadoshim itself was beyond time and space. As the Talmud (Megillah 10b) says “We received the tradition from our forefathers: The Ark of the Covenant didn't take up any room." The Kohen Gadol went to this heavenly place on Yom Kippur because they are both beyond the boundaries of this world.

In contrast, in Talmudic-era Babylonia and ancient Israel, testifying was a privilege that certain groups, including slaves, women, and children, did not enjoy. While minors should be barred from participating in courts, and still largely are today, the status of women in Talmudic courts poses a much trickier question. Through this historical and Talmudic analysis, I aim to determine the root of this ban. The reasons for the ineligibility of female testimony range far and wide, but most are not explicitly mentioned in the Talmud. Perhaps women in Talmudic times were infrequently called as witnesses, and rabbis banned women from participation in courts in order to further crystallize this patriarchal structure.
