Tradition teaches that this “service” is prayer. It is written, serving Him with all you heart and soul (Deut. 2:13), about which the Sages said, “What is service of the heart? Prayer.” The number of prayers is not fixed in the Torah, nor is their format, and neither the Torah prescribes a fixed time for prayer. Women and slaves are therefore obligated to pray, since it is a positive commandment without a fixed time. Rather, this commandment obligates each person to pray, supplicate, and praise the Holy One, blessed be He, to the best of his ability every day; to then request and plead for what he needs; and after that praise and thank God for all the He has showered on him.1” According to Maimonides, both men and women are obligated in the Mitsva of prayer. -

Fantastyiccprogram-Calendar-2018
a message from the factory ceO This year we have chosen as the theme for our Program Calendar, The FantastYICC Chocolate Factory . One might think that this is a colorful and charming theme; but in truth it is much more. It reflects the Jewish approach to teaching Torah. Every morning we begin the Shacharit service with blessings called Birkhot HaTorah. Among the blessings we declare l,ru , hrcs ,t ubhvkt ‘v tb crgvu – “ Please, Lord our God, make the words of Your Torah sweet in our mouths. ” The 18th century rabbinic thinker and prolific author, Yaakov Emden, noted that this is a pragmatic request. We pray that Torah will be sweet for everyone to enjoy, making it universally desirable among all Jews. A number of years ago, on a visit to our Shul, the President of the Los Angeles Jewish Federation, Jay Sanderson, remarked how impressed he was that children come over to me on Shabbat to receive lollipops. He exclaimed that encouraging children to come to their rabbi for something sweet will guarantee the future of our people. He further ruminated, “We also need lollipops for the adults so that they too will be excited by their Judaism.” It is our hope that in this Program Calendar, filled with exciting and stimulating programs, many of which are appearing for the first time, you will find the sweetness of Torah that will stimulate your thought and expand your Jewish education. It is our intent that our outstanding array of speakers, as well as all our diverse programs, will challenge your mind and engage your heart. -

Parshat Naso 5769 by Rachel Farbiarz June 6, 2009
Parshat Naso 5769 By Rachel Farbiarz June 6, 2009 Parshat Naso provides the script for one of the more penetrating segments of the Hebrew liturgy—the birkat kohanim, or priestly blessing. Over the millennia, this benediction has remained a seminal means of invoking the Divine in both the Jewish and Christian traditions. In our parshah, God dictates the blessing to Moses, who is to teach it to Aaron and his sons—the kohanim, or priests: May God bless you and guard you. May God make God’s face shine upon you and grant grace to you. May God lift up God’s face to you and give you peace.1 At the Sephardic synagogue in which I was raised, Shabbat mornings were punctuated by the eerie call-and-response of the benediction and the congregation’s hopeful rejoinder: May it be God’s will.2 Integral to the priests’ recitation were the rituals accompanying the blessing that seemed to suspend kohanim and congregation together in a humbled thrall. At a specified time in the service, the community’s kohanim discreetly excused themselves to perform their preparatory ablutions. The faint sound of the priests’ shufflings was followed by a call-to-attention—Koh-Haahh- Neeeeeem!—summoning them to their posts before the ark. The men of the congregation gathered their children and their children’s children under the prayer shawls they had drawn over their heads. The kohanim faced them, cloaked too in their billowing shawls. Their arms outstretched, their fingers extended and conjoined in the cultic v-shape, the priests swayed and chanted the blessing—distending its syllables, trilling its notes. -
A Guide to the Observance of Mourning
A GUIDE TO THE OBSERVANCE OF MOURNING (This is a general guide only. For details, consult your rabbi.) Who is a mourner? We are obliged to mourn for a father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister (including half- brother and half-sister), husband or wife. Males from the age of thirteen years and females the age of twelve years should observe the laws of mourning. While one is permitted to observe mourning rites for others, those who wish to do so should consult their rabbi. Between death and burial During the period between death and burial the mourn known as an omen . The onen is obligated to arrange for the funeral and burial of the dead. In recognition of this obligation and of the mourner's fragile state of mind at this time, the onen is exempt from fulfilling certain other religious duties such as reciting prayers or putting on tefillin, and is not called to the Torah. On Shabbat or a Festival, however, an onen may attend services. Mourner's Kaddish The Kaddish is generally thought of as a prayer for the dead, but it does not mention death or the dead. Reciting Mourner's Kaddish is an act of faith, expressing hope in presence of grief. We praise God with the words of Kaddish, accepting God's sovereignty and affirming life in world. In Jewish tradition, this takes place in public assembly. Thus the Kaddish is recited only in the presence of a minyan. The Mourner's Kaddish is recited for one's parents for eleven months (in some communities for twelve months), counting First and Second Adar, in a leap year, as two separate months.
