4 THE COMMUNITY SYNAGOGUE MAKING SACRED CONNECTIONS RELIGIOUS SCHOOL Shari Isserles Principally Speaking

This year we changed around our education program for our high school students in an effort to better meet the needs of today’s teens. As part of the new format, Hebrew Chai, we have offered pods or learning experiences throughout the year. With this model, we have offered various 3-4 week learning pods, overnight and full day experiential programs and a chance to learn about and become a philanthropist through our Jewish Teen Funders Board. We have teens that have taken part in activities throughout the year, and we have had those who have chosen to just take part in one offering. Either way, we welcome all the teens in our community to get involved in some piece of the Hebrew Chai puzzle. It has been a great year with our teens, and we have some highlight pictures below.

Inset and top right: Our Hebrew Chai teens proved to be great in the kitchen when we visited Hope Lodge, a cancer care residency, in NYC and cooked dinner for the residents.

He told Akiva that ANSWER Judaism has a whole series of regulations and rituals the only way to be redeemed would be for his son to stand among which are undertaken as part of the mourning process. For many the community and recite the Kaddish, and for the congregation people the most important responsibility on those who are mourning to respond and bless God’s name. The challenge was that his son, for a loved one is the recitation of the as it transpired, had received no Jewish mourners Kaddish, the prayer with which education. Akiva went and found the boy, we conclude almost every service. he taught him the prayers, so that the boy While the Kaddish does not speak about could recite the Kaddish freeing his father’s death, rather it is a statement about God’s soul to rise up to Heaven. sovereignty and supremacy.

This list is taken from the require a full years worth of Kaddish) and Torah (Leviticus 21), where the Priest is told for the other relatives the tradition is that we that he can defile himself for his mother, father, wife or husband, son, recite the Kaddish for thirty days, throughout the month of Shloshim. daughter, brother and sister. These are the official relatives for whom Jewishly mourning for a parent is more intense than anyone else. It is we mourn, and say the Kaddish. However, there is also the principle for this reason that when the ritual of kriah (the tearing of a garment that ‘those we mourn for, we also mourn with’. In this way a person or a ribbon) is fulfilled for a parent it is torn above the heart, while mourns for their husband or wife, and therefore mourns with them for everyone else the tear is on the other side. for their parents-in-law.
