Transliteration for Renew Our Days: A Prayer-Cycle for Days of Awe Edited and translated by Rabbi Ronald Aigen z’’l Renew Our Days Maḥzor: Copyright © 2016 by The Reconstructionist Synagogue of Montreal (d/b/a Congregation Dorshei Emet). All rights reserved. Transliteration Copyright Ó 2017 by Kehillah Synagogue Chapel Hill, North Carolina About This Transliteration Kehillah Synagogue adopted Renew Our Days as our high-holiday Maḥzor more than a decade ago. It has met the congregation’s needs well for those who read Hebrew. To enable people who don’t read Hebrew to participate, we’ve always provided a transliteration also ז״ל Aigen Rabbi participation. full allow to enough been hasn’t it but Maḥzor, the of portion small a transliterates that booklet recognized this need and added more transliteration to each successive edition of the printed Maḥzor. Before Rabbi Aigen’s untimely passing, Howard Glicksman discussed with him the idea of producing a new edition of the Maḥzor with full transliteration. Rabbi Aigen was enthusiastic and was planning to participate in producing this new edition. With the cooperation of Congregation Dorshei Emet, we have pressed ahead with the project. This transliteration “booklet” is the first step of that effort. The initial transliteration was produced from computer files of the Hebrew text by a computer program written by Lee Nackman. The program attempts to reproduce Rabbi Aigen’s style of transliteration, as described on pages xxii and xxiii of the printed Maḥzor. Since the program is imperfect, the automatically-produced transliteration was proofread and edited by Eric Silberman, a student at Hebrew College Rabbinical School. Eric also identified improvements to the program. Eric’s work was funded by Kehillah Synagogue through a contribution from Howard Glicksman and Lois Bronstein. We hope that this booklet is a useful interim aide to help non-Hebrew readers participate more fully in the Kehillah’s 5778 High Holiday services. We hope that there is enough positive feedback to encourage completing this project by producing a new printed edition of the Maḥzor with full transliteration in the three-column style used in our Siddurim. In this style, each page has three columns: Hebrew, English translation, and English transliteration. We would welcome your feedback on this approach.

    Psalm 89-93: Christ Our New King June 6, 2021 Message: Take a Few

    Psalm 89-93: Christ Our New King June 6, 2021 Message: Take a few moments to review the message notes from Sunday. What was your main takeaway from this message? Digging Deeper: Small Group Discussion 1.) What stood out to you? 2.) (Psalm 89) From the people’s perspective… their reality did not align with all of God’s promises. What happens when your reality fails to align with what you know to be true about God? 3.) (Psalm 90) In verse 12, what do you think it means when Moses says, “Teach us to number our days so that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”? 4.) (Psalm 91) God is our protection in verses 9 and 10, is God’s protection available to everyone? 5.) (Psalm 91:10) Does God’s protection mean Christians are immune from all harm? 6.) Satan quotes verse 11 to Jesus in the wilderness (Luke 4:9-12). The devil would like us to think that God’s promises have failed especially if He lets us suffer. Where does verse 15 say God will be? 7.) When the Israelites were tested in the wilderness they fell for Satan’s temptations. When Jesus was tested by Satan in the wilderness, He resisted temptation. What type of guidance does he model for us? 8.) (Psalm 92) This chapter is titled “A Song for the Sabbath Day.” It was written to be sung in community on the sabbath day. What do verses 1-4 teach us about praising God? 9.) (Psalm 93) This chapter reminds us the Lord reigns over all.

  • On the Proper Use of Niggunim for the Tefillot of the Yamim Noraim

    On the Proper Use of Niggunim for the Tefillot of the Yamim Noraim

    On the Proper Use of Niggunim for the Tefillot of the Yamim Noraim Cantor Sherwood Goffin Faculty, Belz School of Jewish Music, RIETS, Yeshiva University Cantor, Lincoln Square Synagogue, New York City Song has been the paradigm of Jewish Prayer from time immemorial. The Talmud Brochos 26a, states that “Tefillot kneged tmidim tiknum”, that “prayer was established in place of the sacrifices”. The Mishnah Tamid 7:3 relates that most of the sacrifices, with few exceptions, were accompanied by the music and song of the Leviim.11 It is therefore clear that our custom for the past two millennia was that just as the korbanot of Temple times were conducted with song, tefillah was also conducted with song. This is true in our own day as well. Today this song is expressed with the musical nusach only or, as is the prevalent custom, nusach interspersed with inspiring communally-sung niggunim. It once was true that if you wanted to daven in a shul that sang together, you had to go to your local Young Israel, the movement that first instituted congregational melodies c. 1910-15. Most of the Orthodox congregations of those days – until the late 1960s and mid-70s - eschewed the concept of congregational melodies. In the contemporary synagogue of today, however, the experience of the entire congregation singing an inspiring melody together is standard and expected. Are there guidelines for the proper choice and use of “known” niggunim at various places in the tefillot of the Yamim Noraim? Many are aware that there are specific tefillot that must be sung "...b'niggunim hanehugim......b'niggun yodua um'sukon um'kubal b'chol t'futzos ho'oretz...mimei kedem." – "...with the traditional melodies...the melody that is known, correct and accepted 11 In Arachin 11a there is a dispute as to whether song is m’akeiv a korban, and includes 10 biblical sources for song that is required to accompany the korbanos.

    A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger's View of Opening A

    A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat Rabbi Michael J. Broyde Introduction Thank you to Rabbi Yaacov Sasson for his comments on footnote 59 of the article “The Use of Electricity on Shabbat and Yom Tov” found in the Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society, 21:4-47 (Spring 1991) co-written by Rabbi Jachter and myself. It is always nice to have people commenting on articles written more than 25 years ago.[1] Before delving into the halacha, it is worth clarifying some preliminary facts – in particular, whether refrigerators even had automatic lights during the first half of the 1930s. Some commenters have suggested that such lights were not yet present, or that they were limited to rare and expensive refrigerators. This is not correct. I reproduce below a wide variety of newspaper ads from the early 1930s that show that a range of refrigerator models by many manufacturers at various price points featured automatic interior lights (see attachments here). These include a Frigidaire priced at $157.50, a GE priced at $99.50, a Majestic model with no price, a Frigidaire priced at $119.50, a Leonard priced at $114.75 and many more.[2] And while some of the publications appear targeted to the upper class, many others are clearly meant for wider audiences – particularly those available on installment plans (“$5 down, 15¢ a day”; “Nothing down! 20¢ a day!”; “$7 Initial Payment – enables you to enjoy any of these refrigerators immediately.

    The Psalms As Hymns in the Temple of Jerusalem Gary A

    4 The Psalms as Hymns in the Temple of Jerusalem Gary A. Rendsburg From as far back as our sources allow, hymns were part of Near Eastern temple ritual, with their performers an essential component of the temple functionaries. 1 These sources include Sumerian, Akkadian, and Egyptian texts 2 from as early as the third millennium BCE. From the second millennium BCE, we gain further examples of hymns from the Hittite realm, even if most (if not all) of the poems are based on Mesopotamian precursors.3 Ugarit, our main source of information on ancient Canaan, has not yielded songs of this sort in 1. For the performers, see Richard Henshaw, Female and Male: The Cu/tic Personnel: The Bible and Rest ~(the Ancient Near East (Allison Park, PA: Pickwick, 1994) esp. ch. 2, "Singers, Musicians, and Dancers," 84-134. Note, however, that this volume does not treat the Egyptian cultic personnel. 2. As the reader can imagine, the literature is ~xtensive, and hence I offer here but a sampling of bibliographic items. For Sumerian hymns, which include compositions directed both to specific deities and to the temples themselves, see Thorkild Jacobsen, The Harps that Once ... : Sumerian Poetry in Translation (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1987), esp. 99-142, 375--444. Notwithstanding the much larger corpus of Akkadian literarure, hymn~ are less well represented; see the discussion in Alan Lenzi, ed., Reading Akkadian Prayers and Hymns: An Introduction, Ancient Near East Monographs (Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, 2011), 56-60, with the most important texts included in said volume. For Egyptian hymns, see Jan A%mann, Agyptische Hymnen und Gebete, Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis (Gottingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1999); Andre Barucq and Frarn;:ois Daumas, Hymnes et prieres de /'Egypte ancienne, Litteratures anciennes du Proche-Orient (Paris: Cerf, 1980); and John L.

"Prayer can be electric and alive! Prayer can touch the soul, burst forth a creative celebration of the spirit and open deep wells of gratitude, longing and praise. Prayer can connect us to our Living Source and to each other, enfolding us in love and praise, wonder and gratitude, awe and thankfulness. Jewish prayer in its essence is soul dialogue and calls us into relationship within and beyond. Through the power of words and melodies both ancient and new, we venture into realms of deep emotion and find longing, sorrow ,joy, hope, wholeness, connection and peace. When guided by skilled leaders of prayer and ritual, our complacency is challenged. We break through outworn assumptions about God and ourselves, and emerge refreshed and inspired to meet the challenges OUr lives offer." (-from the DLTI brochure, by Rabbis Marcia Prager and Shawn Israel Zevit) This Siddur was created as a vehicle to explore how traditional and novel approaches to Jewish prayer can blend, so that the experience of Jewish prayer can be renewed, revitalized and deepened.
