Our children begin to go through some dramatic changes, physically and emotionally, at the age of thirteen. The rabbis were wise in choosing this age as the proper time for becoming Bar/t Mitzvah.

  • HAFTARAH – Rosh Hashana Day 2 – 2017/5778 for Kolot Chayeinu/Voices of Our Lives Cynthia Greenberg / Page 1 of 6
    HAFTARAH – Rosh Hashana Day 2 – 2017/5778 For Kolot Chayeinu/Voices of our Lives Cynthia Greenberg / Page 1 of 6 At this serious moment of crisis in our country, at the start of our new Jewish year, what does a middle aged, queer woman, who once had an abortion (thank you Planned Parenthood), and is a tante, an aunt, a tia, g-dmum, and stepmom, but who has no kids of her own, have to say about Hannah, and a haftarah from the books of the Prophets full of pleading with and praying to G-d to be granted a child? Hannah, who prays so sincerely and with her full heart that she becomes the paradigm for true prayer with kavannah. Hannah, who when her prayers are finally realized, and indeed she bears a child at the ripe old age of 130, then gives the child, her son Samuel, back to G-d, in gratitude and humbleness, or as some Torah interpreters tell us, with an appreciation that there is “enough for all” and perhaps she never really needed that son anyway. My first response to this harftarah – which, I confess, has not really made a huge impression on me over all these years of Rosh Hashanah observance, so much so that if you had asked me, before I began to prepare for today, who Hannah was, I would not really have been able to recall – my first response was “yuck” and “why me?” Why this tale? Why this agonizing about fertility and childbearing and the worth of women? Why yet another story about a fellow who has two wives and one of them has kids but the other doesn’t, and there are jealousies and mistreatments and resentments between them? Those stories never end well.

Alternative selections are offered each shabbat: a shorter reading (around twenty verses) and a longer one (around thirty verses). The readings are a guide and congregations may choose to read more or less from within that part of the parashah. On certain special shabbatot, a special second (or exceptionally, third) scroll reading is read in addition to the week’s portion. Haftarah readings are chosen to parallel key elements in the section of the Torah being read and therefore vary from one year in the triennial cycle to the next. Some of the suggested haftarot are from taken from k’tuvim (Writings) rather than n’vi’ivm (Prophets). When this is the case the appropriate, adapted blessings can be found on page 245 of the MRJ siddur, Seder Ha-t’fillot. This calendar follows the Biblical definition of the length of festivals.

The recital of the tefillah is then dealt with on similar lines and its wording is discussed. Because it says: And thou shalt eat and be satisfied and bless. In this case, the debate is over which blessing to recite after consuming one of the seven species, the staple foods of ancient Israel that the rabbis considered to have a special spiritual status because of their association with the Holy Land. In Epstein, I. Chapter Eight, in which, incidental to the discussion of blessings associated with a meal, a list of disputes between Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel with regard to appropriate conduct at a meal and the halakhot of blessings is cited. Moses went and said to Israel: Is Bezalel suitable in your eyes? Give Feedback. Rambam Sefer Ahava , Hilkhot Tefilla ch. Seeing that a gonorrhoeic person who has an emission, although a ritual ablution is useless in his first condition, was yet required by the Rabbis to take one, how much more so a woman who becomes niddah during sexual intercourse, for whom in her first condition a ritual ablution was efficacious! XXII, If, as mentioned above, the halakhic portion directed us from the abstract to the concrete, the direction provided by the aggadic section is from the concrete to the abstract. Which proves that the grace before food is not Biblical.

  • Searching for Holiness: the Song of the Sea in Tanakh and Tefillah
    Searching for Holiness: The Song of the Sea in Tanakh and Tefillah Byline: Rachel Friedman Searching for Holiness: The Song of the Sea in Tanakh and Tefillah [1] Rachel Friedman In the past several generations, a literary approach to Tanakh study has engaged both lay and academic Jewish learners; indeed, it is a significant subject in this volume. The thesis of this article is that a literary reading of biblical material found in the daily liturgy can similarly infuse our prayers with new levels of meaning and connect these specific prayers to the larger themes and messages of the Siddur. In this article, I will focus on the prayer of Az Yashir, also known as Shirat ha-Yam (The [2] Song of the Sea, or simply, the Song), to demonstrate this methodology. It is hoped that a literary-theological analysis of the Song in its biblical and liturgical settings will inspire a personal connection between this ancient poem and its modern daily readers. The Verses of Praise and the Daily Prayer Service The Song of the Sea is part of the section of the liturgy known as Pesukei de-Zimra, or verses of praise. The Talmud teaches (Berakhot 32b) that “a person should first recount the praise of God, and then pray.” The Rabbis instituted Pesukei de-Zimra to prepare the individual for the recitation of the central elements of the daily prayer service—the Shema and the Amidah—by focusing one’s thoughts on God and contemplation of His glory. Before we can ask God to grant our needs and requests, we enter the proper state of mind by thinking about Him and praising Him.

"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.
