Messianic Yisra'el Daily & Shabbat Siddur BEIT IMMANUEL Global Outreach Synagogue YHVH PUBLISHING HOUSE Holy to ADONAI MESSIANIC YISR A'EL SIDDUR DAILY & SHABBAT SIDDUR PRAYER BOOK BEIT IMMANUEL Global Outreach Synagogue by YHVH PUBLISHING HOUSE Messianic Yisra'el Daily & Shabbat Siddur THE GIFT AND BEAUTY OF SHABBAT When ADONAI rested from His work of creation, He gave us the 7th Day - the Shabbat (or Shabbat). ADONAI sanctified this day and taught us to do likewise. So the Shabbat is given as a sign between ADONAI and His people, and as a commemoration of our Creator, and the very act of creation. In its simplest definition, "Shabbat" means "Rest," and so each Shabbat is a day of rest ... rest in the sense of ceasing from all the normal work & activities of the other six days of the week. It is to be a time of joy, peace and tranquility, away from the cares and worries of the world. ADONAI Elohim calls each Shabbat day "a holy convocation". "Convocation" means a "gathering together"; it is a group of believers assembling or gathering for worship, praise, and celebration. Shabbat is a day of rejoicing and joining with one another in the Presence of ADONAI! The Shabbat is a picture of the Olam Ha'Ba, or the world to come. In the rhythm of the Olam Ha'Zeh, or the present world that we live in now, however, the Shabbat is a sacred time to become spiritually reconnected with our true identities, as ADONAI Elohim's own children. "I have a precious gift in my treasure house, said ADONAI Elohim to Moses,'Shabbat' is its name; go and tell Yisra'el I wish to present it to them." ( Genesis 2:2 ) The children of Yisra'el shall keep the Shabbat throughout their generations as a covenant forever. Between Me and the children of Yisra'el it is a sign forever. ( Exodus 31:16-17 ) Call the Shabbat a delight and the holy day of ADONAI honorable. "Zakhor et-yom ha-Shabbat le-kadesho". "V'ka-ra-ta la-Shabbat Oneg". ( Isaiah 58:13 ) Keep the Shabbat day to sanctify it ... "Shamor et-yom ha-Shabbat le-kadesho". ( Deut. 5:12 ) The Shabbat is to be Kadosh or Holy. "Remember the Shabbat to keep it holy ... wherefore ADONAI blessed the Shabbat and hallowed it." ( Exodus 20:9, 11 b ) Page 1 of 188 Also the sons of the stranger that join themselves to ADONAI, to serve Him and to love the name of ADONAI, to be His servants, everyone that keeps the Shabbat, from polluting it, and takes hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my Holy mountain ... ( Isaiah 56:6-7a) The word Shabbat, was given to both Jews and non-Jews. It is a time for Oneg (sharing of celebratory meals), joy, and delight. Oneg implies celebration, sharing time with loved ones, leisurely meals with special , hospitality, relaxation, and Zmirote (the singing of Shabbat songs). Shabbat is also to be a time of spiritual and physical rest and refreshment, called M'noo-cha. This implies more than just refraining from work. On Shabbat we are instructed to turn away from worldly activities and to focus on the things of ADONAI. We are to only seek out spiritual pursuits. If the week is characterized by stress, chaos, rush, and turmoil, Shabbat brings us into an opposite state of mind, bringing us to serenity, and to the rejuvenation of the spirit, the mind and the body. It is this unique quality of Shabbat's state of M'noo-cha which caused the Jewish tradition to refer to Shabbat as "a foretaste of the days of the Messiah." It is a reflection of what it will be like to live in our Messiah's coming Kingdom. ---------------------------------- THE MEANING OF THE LIGHTING OF THE 2 CANDLES ON SHABBAT The 2 candles represent the dual commandments that ADONAI gave His people: • the first is to Remember the Shabbat day, and • the second is to keep the Shabbat Kadosh (holy). Another interpretation: The first candle represents ADONAI's Creation: "In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth ... and Elohim said,'Let there be Light!'" (Genesis 1:1-3) Yeshua said: "I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." (John 8:12) The second candle represents Redemption: "Being justified freely by His Grace through the Redemption that is in Yeshua Ha'Mashiach!" ( Romans 3:24 ) We pray is that this Messianic Daily and Shabbat Siddur will bless the members of your Congregation and bring joy and delight to your Messianic Shabbat services and worship, and honor to our ADONAI Elohim and His Son, Yeshua.

  • A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger's View of Opening A
    A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat Rabbi Michael J. Broyde Introduction Thank you to Rabbi Yaacov Sasson for his comments on footnote 59 of the article “The Use of Electricity on Shabbat and Yom Tov” found in the Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society, 21:4-47 (Spring 1991) co-written by Rabbi Jachter and myself. It is always nice to have people commenting on articles written more than 25 years ago.[1] Before delving into the halacha, it is worth clarifying some preliminary facts – in particular, whether refrigerators even had automatic lights during the first half of the 1930s. Some commenters have suggested that such lights were not yet present, or that they were limited to rare and expensive refrigerators. This is not correct. I reproduce below a wide variety of newspaper ads from the early 1930s that show that a range of refrigerator models by many manufacturers at various price points featured automatic interior lights (see attachments here). These include a Frigidaire priced at $157.50, a GE priced at $99.50, a Majestic model with no price, a Frigidaire priced at $119.50, a Leonard priced at $114.75 and many more.[2] And while some of the publications appear targeted to the upper class, many others are clearly meant for wider audiences – particularly those available on installment plans (“$5 down, 15¢ a day”; “Nothing down! 20¢ a day!”; “$7 Initial Payment – enables you to enjoy any of these refrigerators immediately.

  • The Philistines Are Upon You, Samson
    23:35 , 07.31.07 Print The Philistines are upon you, Samson Samson was known for his great strength and bravery, but the places in Bible which, according to tradition, he lived and acted are not as well known. Eyal Davidson visits the home grounds of this heroic figure: from his grave in Tel Tzora to the altar of his father, Manoach, where his barren mother received word of her pregnancy Eyal Davidson Samson lived a very stormy life. It began with his miraculous birth and continued with Israel’s wars with the Philistines, which revolved around the romances that he conducted with Philistine women. Its end was a dramatic event that concluded with his bringing down the Philistine temple on top of its inhabitants. Samson lived during the era of the Judges, when the twelve tribes of Israel were attempting to become established in the portions that they received from Joshua Bin-Nun. Samson’s family was from Tzora, a city on the border of the portion of the tribes of Judah and Dan, and that is Samson slaughtering where he began to reveal his legendary strength. the lion Samson died in Gaza, when he brought In the footsteps of kings click here to down the Philistine temple on its enlarge text inhabitants and on himself. “And Samson Following King David in the said, “Let me die with the Philistines”…and they buried him between Judean lowlands / Gadi Vexler Tzora and Eshtaol in the burying place of Almost everywhere in Israel is mentioned Manoach his father” (Judges 15: 30-31).

The Facts, an Outline Blessings before Shema Light/Darkness Love, choosing Israel, Torah Shema Oneness, Our G-d, Love Keep the mitzvot or else Tzitzit and Exodus Blessing after Shema: Redemption, Exodus The Shema: How central is it? Brachot 15b אָמַ ר ַר . ִָּי חָמְא בַּרִבֲּי חנִינָָא: כַּל הֵקּוֹרְא קִרְיאַת שַׁמְע וּמַדְקֵדְּק בִּאוֹתֶיּוֹתָיהְמַצנְּנִֵין לוֹ גִּיהנֶָּם, שׁנֱֶּאַמְר: ״בָּפֵרַשׂ שַׁדְּי מָלִכָים בַּהּ תְּשֵׁלְג בַּצְלִמוֹן״ — אַל תְּקֵרְי ״בָּפֵרֶשׂ״ אָלְּא ״בָּפֵרִשׁ״, אַל תְּקֵרְי ״בַּצְלֶמוֹן״ אָלְּא ״בַּצְלָמוֶת״ב On this same topic, Rabbi Ḥama, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, said: Anyone who recites Shema and is punctilious in enunciating its letters, Gehenna is cooled for him, as it is stated: “When the Almighty scatters [befares] kings over it, it will snow in Tzalmon” (Psalms 68:15). Do not read befares, When He scatters, but befaresh, When he enunciates. When one enunciates the name of God with precision, God will fulfill the verse: It will snow in Tzalmon, on his behalf. Do not read beTzalmon, in Tzalmon, but betzalmavet, in the shadow of death, a reference to Gehenna. As reward for enunciating God’s name precisely, God will cool Gehenna for him. Where does it say we must read it? And these words which I command you today should be on your heart and you should teach them to your children and speak of them… when you go to sleep and when you get up.

Before Rabbi Aigen’s untimely passing, Howard Glicksman discussed with him the idea of producing a new edition of the Maḥzor with full transliteration. Rabbi Aigen was enthusiastic and was planning to participate in producing this new edition. With the cooperation of Congregation Dorshei Emet, we have pressed ahead with the project. This transliteration “booklet” is the first step of that effort. The initial transliteration was produced from computer files of the Hebrew text by a computer program written by Lee Nackman. The program attempts to reproduce Rabbi Aigen’s style of transliteration, as described on pages xxii and xxiii of the printed Maḥzor. Since the program is imperfect, the automatically-produced transliteration was proofread and edited by Eric Silberman, a student at Hebrew College Rabbinical School.

  • SEAHORSE WINES • Seahorse Wines, James Chenin Blanc 2012
    Julia has written the introductions to the profiles of the four very different Israeli wineries that produced the 26 wines we happen to have tasted reasonably recently. They range from the barely acceptable to the seriously inspiring. For a history of wine in Israel and detailed profiles of almost all Israeli wineries, see The Wine Route of Israel, by Eliezer Sacks, Yaron Goldfisher and Adam Montefiore (Cordinata 2012). SEAHORSE WINES A relatively new boutique winery (annual production around 10,000 cases) established by film- maker Ze'ev Dunie (pictured here) in Moshav Bar Giora in the Jerusalem Hills. His desire to make wine was ignited by his cinematic love story about the Israeli wine industry, Lying Down in a Cool Dark Place. He gained experience working at the Tzora winery with established winemaker Ronnie James. Just about everything is done by hand, including the labelling. Dunie specialises in Syrah and Zinfandel but is keen to see a wider range of varieties in Israel and eschews the addition of tannins and enzymes as well as the use of oak chips. Seahorse Wines, James Chenin Blanc 2012 Samson 39 year-old dry-farmed vineyard. Extended lees contact after barrel fermentation and ageing in French oak for nine months. The leesiness is very obvious but not too much. No one could possibly guess blind where this wine comes from. It's so ripe that it seems very slightly sweet but there is excellent, well- integrated acidity too. Great balance and very appetising. Crisp melon and passion fruit flavours but nothing industrial or out of place.

In these times nothing actually surprises us. I'm sure that the "tug of war" with our emotions over the past month, leaves us all ready for a good holiday or break (actually that's what this letter is supposed to be about!) My 10 day trip to South Africa in September was really exciting. To discover, on the one hand, the "New" South Africa and to see, on the other hand, that all the natural beauty remains, is special. For those of you who haven't been back for some time, I can assure you a great holiday. The realisation that times have really changed, comes the minute you step onto the S.A.A. plane and are told "first stop Cairo"- a short refuel and then over Africa and before you wake up - touch down at Jan Smuts. Remember those 22 hour flights via Rome- Ma drid etc. well- now only 9^/2 hours. Food and services were also ex cellent. Sure there are difficult times ahead, but one cannot but have the feeling that at the end of the day things will work out. Competition amongst airlines and charter operators gets even more fierce over the winter months as every effort is made to fill those empty seats. It really does seem to be cheaper to travel than to stay at home! $333 to London.
