Is one required to switch seats? 1. THE WAY WE LIVE NOW: THE ETHICIST. Between the Sexes By RANDY COHEN. OCT. 27, 2002 The courteous and competent real-estate agent I'd just hired to rent my house shocked and offended me when, after we signed our contract, he refused to shake my hand, saying that as an Orthodox Jew he did not touch women. As a feminist, I oppose sex discrimination of all sorts. However, I also support freedom of religious expression. How do I balance these conflicting values? Should I tear up our contract? J.L., New York This culture clash may not allow you to reconcile the values you esteem. Though the agent dealt you only a petty slight, without ill intent, you're entitled to work with someone who will treat you with the dignity and respect he shows his male clients. If this involved only his own person -- adherence to laws concerning diet or dress, for example -- you should of course be tolerant. But his actions directly affect you. And sexism is sexism, even when motivated by religious convictions.

From the hour that the kohanim enter to eat their terumah Until the end of the first watch, in the opinion of Rabbi Eliezer. The Sages say: Until midnight. Rabban Gamliel says: Until morning. It happened that his sons came from a wedding feast. They said to him: We have not yet recited the Shema. He said to them: If it has not yet morned, you are obligated to recite it. Babylonian Talmud Berakhot 2a What is the context of the Mishnah’s opening “From when”? Also, why does it teach about the evening first, rather than about the morning? The context is Scripture saying “when you lie down and when you arise” (Devarim 6:7, 11:9). what the Mishnah intends is: “The time of the Shema of lying-down – when is it?” Alternatively: The context is Creation, as Scripture writes “There was evening and there was morning”. Mishnah Berakhot 1:1 (continued) Not only this – rather, everything about which the Sages say until midnight – their mitzvah is until morning. The burning of fats and organs – their mitzvah is until morning. All sacrifices that must be eaten in a day – their mitzvah is until morning.

Korach challenges Moses and Aaron’s leadership. The spies’ pessimistic report about the land of Israel leads to utter despair among the people. As a consequence, the people re- main in the desert for forty years, a period of time long enough to ensure that those who left Egypt would never enter the Promised Land.

As such, the lands to the far north of the planet - the Arctic - were known and explored far earlier than those in the far south.1 It has always been known that, as one travels north, the length of day and night become more extreme - long days in the summer and long nights in the winter. Once one crosses the Arctic Circle, there are some periods of the year when the sun never rises and some when it never sets. As one moves towards the Pole this becomes more extreme, and much of the year is constant light or constant dark. In fact, at the Pole, the cycle of sunrise and sunset lasts a whole year: Spring equinox - Sunrise Summer Solstice - Noon Autumn Equinox - Sunset Winter Solstice - Midnight It is a myth however that there is 6 months of total dark and 6 of total light. In fact there are many months in which there is ‘twilight’. There are various definitions of twilight: Civil Twilight Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon - Normal outdoor activities are difficult. Time for car headlights. Nautical Twilight Sun is 12 degrees below the horizon - Sea horizon is difficult to discern. Astronomical Twilight Sun is 18 degrees below the horizon - Total darkness in the sky.

INTRODUCTION Friends, Shir HaN’shamah, “Song of the Soul,” is our siddur, our Shabbat prayer book, created for Congregation Or Chadash. Since the community’s inception in 1995, we have always written our own prayer services. From the beginning, we have had a deep sense of gratitude to the Reform movement’s Union Prayer Book, Gates of Prayer, and Mishkan Tefillah. And yet, our Reform Jewish community wanted to express something more, something different that reflects how we feel about each other and how we are connected to the three-fold covenant of God, Torah, and Israel. Shir HaN’shamah does that for us. Souls arriving on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings are seeking a connection to God and renewal, shleimut/wholeness, for the coming week.
