Re-Dedication at the Season of Darkness Alonim Which Contains Articles About Recent Events That Have a Young Boy Stepped Onto the Stage SWESRS November 2018 אלונים ALONIM Welcome to our latest issue of Re-Dedication at the Season of Darkness Alonim which contains articles about recent events that have A young boy stepped onto the stage.

All the more reason for us to P a r deepen our connection, knowledge and practice of the British Ashkenazi tradition which is uniquely ours. At one time Progressive communities, Reform and Liberal, ditched our rich thousand-year liturgical musical heritage in a hangover from the origins of Reform Judaism in Germany two hundred years ago, which aimed to stamp distinctive practices into Reform worship that set it apart from traditional Judaism. The majority of Reform congregations zealously pursued the purge of selected musical liturgical traditions until recent years, in the mistaken belief that leyning and nusach are ‘Orthodox’, when infact these traditions pre-date the dawn of Jewish denominations, (Orthodox, Reform or Liberal,) by more than 800 years. It is cause for celebration that, in the past 15 years or so, Progressive Judaism has ‘Come of Age’, with Reform and Liberal communities mature enough, confident enough in our Reform identity to reclaim our proud British Ashkenaz musical liturgical traditions and, for those who choose to do so, to chant Torah and restore nusach to parts of our service. It is a cause for great pride at SWESRS that so many of our Bar and Bat mitzvah students over the recent past have chosen to leyn their portions, and indeed, some are learning the nusach for parts of the Shabbat morning service, such as for Birkot HaShachar, the morning blessings. This November we will be commemorating the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht, marking the beginning of the reign of darkness when Hitler and his Nazi regime attempted to wipe Jews, Jewish culture and Jewish civilisation from the face of the earth. With Chanukah coming early at the beginning of December, we also prepare again to kindle the lights of Chanukah, marking the historical victory of the tiny Maccabee army against the might of the Assyrian Greek Empire. The triumph of Jewish culture and identity over the Hellenist attempt to destroy the distinctiveness of the Jewish People forever is reflected in the root of the .’meaning ‘education’ or ‘rededication ח נ כ :חֲנוכָה word Chanukah This Chanukah, let us all rededicate ourselves to deepening our Jewish learning and our connection to Jewish life in its many rich and varied forms. In this way we all play our part in the triumphant survival, renewal and flourishing continuity of our People. Chag Sameach! Rabbi Lisa Our successful school visits continue! - By Linda Lester I have continued to coordinate and run the visits by local schools who wish to visit us as part of the National Curriculum. Last term we welcomed five schools and each visit went extremely well, so well that we already have bookings for this term and in to 2019. The knowledge and interest of Judaism shown both by the pupils and school staff was excellent. I feel that by teaching these sessions we are opening up to the wider community and not just our close neighbours and educating them to understand and see how the Jewish religion works. A sense of satisfaction is felt at the end of each session. I would like to thank Rabbi Lisa for offering me the opportunity to become SWESRS coordinator for school visits. I would also like to thank Alf Fleisher for working with me over the past years. My sister Wendie Hassell has come along on 3 occasions to help me with handouts and drinks etc. 2 Sessions last between one and two hours. COMMUNITY UPDATE During the past three months Officers and Council have been concentrating on the various options to secure the financial future of the synagogue. A Property Sub Committee has been established which has been researching and evaluating the various options to release capital locked up in our site. A Strategic Planning Sub Committee has started to meet and is looking at longer term initiatives to retain and engage more with our existing members, to attract new members and to look at the future of our community. Later in this edition of Alonim, members will see an invitation to attend a Community meeting on 13th January 2019. The outcome of this meeting is crucial, to direct SWESRS’ Council, the Property and Strategic Planning Sub Committees with their future work on behalf of our community. We hope to see many members at this important meeting. Officers, Council together with the Property and Strategic Planning Sub Committees will provide further updates and information as progress is made, but whatever the ultimate recommendations may be, on property or strategic initiatives, it will be YOU, the members, who will decide on any and all changes. Extended Kiddush Why not try the Shul’s Extended Kiddushim service? We do all the work, leaving you free to enjoy your special day. The Catering Committee has designed a choice of Extended Kiddushim menus to fit a variety of tastes and budgets. Extended Kiddushim take place in the Function Hall after the Shabbat Morning Service. For further details, menus & prices, please contact the synagogue Office. 3 PERSONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS New Members Barbara Linder, Ben Igielman, Melissa Davis with Belle and Ivy, Daniel Gould.

  • For Shabbat Morning Prayers. As I Explain On
    Here is an abridged Matbeah – service – for Shabbat morning prayers. As I explain on our homepage, while most of this abridged service is designed as if one is davening – praying – alone, I have included the recitation of Mourner’s Kaddish for those who are in mourning or observing Yahrzeit. Ideally, all of us will begin praying at 9:30am on Shabbat morning with a kavannah – intentionality – towards one another. In this way, we will form a community even if we are not standing together in the sanctuary. All of the pages on this outline refer to our Sim Shalom prayer book; however, all of these prayers appear in most traditional prayer books. There is a link to a scanned document with all of the following pages on our homepage. p.10 - Birkot HaShachar p.16-18 - Rabbinic Texts p. 20 - Kaddish D’Rabbanan (for those in mourning or observing Yahrzeit) p.32 - Psalm for Shabbat p. 52 - Mourner’s Kaddish (for those in mourning or observing Yahrzeit) p.54 - Barush She’amar p.72 - Hodu p. 80-82 - Ashrei p. 88 – Halleluyah (Psalm 150) p. 92-94 - Shirat Hayam p. 336-338 - Ha’El B’Tatzumot through Yishtabach (Stop before Hatzi Kaddish) p. 340-352 - Shema and its surrounding prayers before and after p. 354-364 - Silent Amidah (without Kedushah, insert Atah Kadosh paragraph instead) ** Skip the Torah Service ** p. 415 - Prayer for Our Country p. 416 - Prayer for the State of Israel p. 430-440 - Silent Musaf Amidah (without Kedushah, insert Atah Kadosh paragraph instead) p. 510 - Aleinu After this service, I then encourage you to open up a Chumash or some printed version of the Torah reading for the week and read it in Hebrew or English.

  • PARSHA INSIGHTS by Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair
    SHABBAT PARSHAT MATOT MASEI • 26 TAMMUZ 5780 JULY 18, 2020 • VOL. 27 NO. 32 PARSHA INSIGHTS by Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair Device Maintenance “Moshe wrote their goings forth, according to their journeys at the bidding of Hashem, and these were their journeys according to their goings forth.” (33:2) he screen flashed: “Device maintenance! Tap below to optimize your machine!” I tapped. “Wow! You’ve got 5 memory-hungry programs hogging up your memory! Let’s see what we can you about this! T Tap below to improve it! This won’t affect your personal data.” I tap the button. Immediately, circles spin on my screen, and little flashes, like so many drops of sweat, seem to spin off the circles as we valiantly do battle with those memory-hugging hogs. And then, in quick succession, “10 background apps closed.” “100 MB of storage space freed up.” “No abnormal battery use detected.” “No app crashes detected.” “No malware apps detected.” “Virus scanning turned on.” “Total freed up – 2.5 GB since you started using Device Maintenance!” And at the top the screen, inside a large circle throb the words: “100 – Excellent! Your device had been optimized.” I felt good about that. It’s amazing how far a little encouragement goes – even from an inanimate machine. “Moshe wrote their goings forth, according to their journeys at the bidding of Hashem, and these were their journeys according to their goings forth.” In the first half of this verse, Hashem tells Moshe to encourage the people and write that all their “goings forth” were only for the goal of reaching Eretz Yisrael — the destination of all their “journeyings.” That is why in the first half of the sentence, “goings forth” precedes the word “journeys.” Without that encouragement to the Jewish People in the desert, their journeyings seemed like nothing more than an incessant road-trip.

In Eretz Hemdah, a small group of extraordinary graduates from the finest National-Religious yeshivot learn to prepare for the Israeli Rabbinate’s rigorous Yadin Yadin examinations. We believe that true greatness in Torah can never be disconnected from involvement with the needs and concerns of the broader Jewish community. Therefore, we require our young rabbis to devote some of their time to teaching and answering questions.

  • Shabbat Morning Service Guide
    Shabbat Morning Service Guide Welcome to Temple Beth Israel! We are so glad you are joining us for our Shabbat services. Shabbat is a sacred time. Beginning at sundown on Friday and lasting until nightfall (three stars) on Saturday, it is a time for rest, mindfulness and connection in community. The practices we observe during Shabbat here at Temple Beth Israel are designed to facilitate that spirit of connection. We hope you will enjoy observing Shabbat with us. If you are not familiar with our Shabbat morning services, we hope this guide will help orient you to what is happening here. But please do not use this to the exclusion of human connection! Our regulars are happy to help you find your page, or a drink of water, or explain what is going on. Please do not be shy! Contents: Ritual Items 3 Children’s Participation 3 Practices for the Sanctuary 4 Order of the Service 5 2 Ritual Items Outside of the entrance of the sanctuary, there is an array of items you might want to use: Our siddur, or prayer book, is the maroon book on the rack with the words Kol Haneshamah: Shabbat V’Chaggim, written on its spine. Most of the songs and prayers we will recite throughout the service are found in this book. It has most of what we do in Hebrew, English translation, and English transliteration (Hebrew words spelled out in English characters). The chumash, or Torah Book, is on a different rack. These books contain the full text of the Torah, the Five Books of Moses that begin the Hebrew Bible, and from which we read a selection each week.
