  • Halachic and Hashkafic Issues in Contemporary Society 167 - Minyanim in Unusual Situations Part 2 - Zoom Minyanim and Kaddish Ou Israel Center - Summer 2020
    5780 - dbhbn ovrct [email protected] 1 sxc HALACHIC AND HASHKAFIC ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY 167 - MINYANIM IN UNUSUAL SITUATIONS PART 2 - ZOOM MINYANIM AND KADDISH OU ISRAEL CENTER - SUMMER 2020 In Part 1 we saw some important foundational halachic and hashkafic concepts concerning tefilla, including: • The sources for the Torah mitzva of tefilla and how davening works - philosophically and metaphysically. • The sources for the Rabbinic mitzva of minyan. • The basic halachic framework for mirpeset/porch minyan which, in short, are: - In principal, to CREATE a minyan, all ten men must be in the same ‘place’, usually the same room. - There is a major debate concerning the halacha when they are not in the same place/room but CAN see each other. We saw a machloket in the Rishonim and the Acharonim as to whether we can learn from the laws of zimun after a meal, where seeing is sufficient to join two groups in different places. The conclusion of the Mishna Berura was that, although one should not rely on this if possible, in a situation of need (as in our times) one MAY create a minyan from men in different places who can see each other (or who can at least see the shaliach tzibur.) • We also looked in detail at what is halachically required to be considered “seeing” and how many people have to see each other. • Importantly, we learnt that all of this relates to CREATING a minyan of 10. Once there is a halachically valid minyan, others may answer if they hear the tefillot even if they are a distance away.

I begin with a prayer of gratitude for all that is holy in my life. God needs no words, no English or Hebrew, no semantics and no services. But I need them. Through prayer, I can sense my inner strength, my inner purpose, my inner joy, my capacity to love. As I reach upward in prayer, I sense these qualities in my Creator. To love God is to love each other, to work to make our lives better. To love God is to love the world God created and to work to perfect it. To love God is to love dreams of peace and joy that illumine all of us, and to bring that vision to life. When We Sing By Michael Hunter Ochs When we sing, when we sing, when we sing, we pray twice.

  • A Service for Honoring Caregivers
    Caring For The Caretakers * Blessing Those Who Bless Others Congregation Or Ami * Rabbi Paul Kipnes And Cantor Doug Cotler A Service for Honoring Caregivers Background The Union for Reform Judaism’s Department of Family Concerns, and its director, Rabbi Richard Address, have been reminding synagogues to focus on the aging Jewish population. In a recent article, Rabbi Address noted the preponderance of Jewish adults serving as caregivers for their parents and grandparents. Some bring their older parents into their homes. Others coordinate the care of their loved ones from afar, even cross country. Still others negotiate the labyrinth of hospitals, live-ins, and assisted living homes as part of a coalition of siblings and cousins. While the specific acts of care giving may vary, it becomes clear that the emotional and physical toll on the caregivers is tremendous. Heeding Rabbi Address’ call at a recent URJ Pacific Southwest Council Biennial Convention, Congregation Or Ami created a service honoring caregivers. For More Information, please contact: Rabbi Paul J. Kipnes Congregation Or Ami * “Light of My People” 26115 Mureau Road, Ste. B, Calabasas, CA 91302 (818) 80-4880 * www.orami.org * [email protected] Publicity Prior to the service, the synagogue utilized three types of publicity: • HaChodesh Monthly Mailer: Service Announcement: March 30: Shabbat Service Honoring Caretakers: Congregants who Care for Others. With Rabbi Kipnes and Cantor Cotler. We will honor caretakers: congregants who care for their parents, children, and/or friends in need. [Torah portion: Tzav Leviticus 6:1-8:36] • Rabbi’s Tisch eLearning Newsletter: Rabbi Kipnes used his eLearning Newsletter to report on the congregation’s new commitment to a Sacred Aging (recently renamed “New Directions” project), to address the aging Jewish populations.

  • Rambam the Poet?,Torah & Rationalism
    Rambam The Poet? Rambam The Poet? Ovadya Hoffman Most readers are familiar with the general character and productivity of Maimonides, I will therefore keep the preamble to a minimum. The indelible legacy left by Maimonides is that of a legalist and thinker, not of a poet or a preacher. That’s not to say that Maimonides lacked the poetic skill. In fact, even from his purely legal works one can detect his elegant tongue and imaginative faculties, never mind the many missives, introductions and intermittent non-legal material included in his Code which exhibit overt tones of a skillful mouthpiece characterized by his eloquent and passionate appeals, charming metaphors and moving rhetoric.[1] And yet, not much –if any- of his authentic, complete pieces of poetry survived.[2] One poem ascribed to Maimonides was composed in Arabic depicting the story of Purim.

One wouldn’t be afoul to suspect that, regardless of the piyuut’s origin, its attribution to Maimonides could easily garner sales.
