  • On the Proper Use of Niggunim for the Tefillot of the Yamim Noraim
    On the Proper Use of Niggunim for the Tefillot of the Yamim Noraim Cantor Sherwood Goffin Faculty, Belz School of Jewish Music, RIETS, Yeshiva University Cantor, Lincoln Square Synagogue, New York City Song has been the paradigm of Jewish Prayer from time immemorial. The Talmud Brochos 26a, states that “Tefillot kneged tmidim tiknum”, that “prayer was established in place of the sacrifices”. The Mishnah Tamid 7:3 relates that most of the sacrifices, with few exceptions, were accompanied by the music and song of the Leviim.11 It is therefore clear that our custom for the past two millennia was that just as the korbanot of Temple times were conducted with song, tefillah was also conducted with song. This is true in our own day as well. Today this song is expressed with the musical nusach only or, as is the prevalent custom, nusach interspersed with inspiring communally-sung niggunim. It once was true that if you wanted to daven in a shul that sang together, you had to go to your local Young Israel, the movement that first instituted congregational melodies c. 1910-15. Most of the Orthodox congregations of those days – until the late 1960s and mid-70s - eschewed the concept of congregational melodies. In the contemporary synagogue of today, however, the experience of the entire congregation singing an inspiring melody together is standard and expected. Are there guidelines for the proper choice and use of “known” niggunim at various places in the tefillot of the Yamim Noraim? Many are aware that there are specific tefillot that must be sung "...b'niggunim hanehugim......b'niggun yodua um'sukon um'kubal b'chol t'futzos ho'oretz...mimei kedem." – "...with the traditional melodies...the melody that is known, correct and accepted 11 In Arachin 11a there is a dispute as to whether song is m’akeiv a korban, and includes 10 biblical sources for song that is required to accompany the korbanos.

"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.

Tradition teaches that this “service” is prayer. It is written, serving Him with all you heart and soul (Deut. 2:13), about which the Sages said, “What is service of the heart? Prayer.” The number of prayers is not fixed in the Torah, nor is their format, and neither the Torah prescribes a fixed time for prayer. Women and slaves are therefore obligated to pray, since it is a positive commandment without a fixed time. Rather, this commandment obligates each person to pray, supplicate, and praise the Holy One, blessed be He, to the best of his ability every day; to then request and plead for what he needs; and after that praise and thank God for all the He has showered on him.1” According to Maimonides, both men and women are obligated in the Mitsva of prayer.

  • Sh'ma As Meditation
    Shema As Meditation Torah Reflections on Parashat Va’et-hanan Deuteronomy 3:23 – 7:11 13 Av, 5774 August 9, 2014 Our congregation holds a monthly Service of Comfort and Peace for people who are seeking a quiet, prayerful place during a time of illness, grief or anxiety. The ten or so people who attend sit in a circle; together we sing, meditate, pray and share some thoughts from the Torah. An elderly Russian couple attended our most recent service, accompanied by their grandson, a man in his 30’s who-- unlike his grandparents--spoke English. He explained that his worried grandparents were there to pray for another grandchild who was having a crisis in his life. At one point in the service we go around the circle, each person reading one sentence of a prayer in English. Participants are free to pass if they do not wish to read. The grandfather did not seem to understand much of what was happening, but as we went around the circle and it was his turn to read, he closed his eyes and said, “ Shema Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Ehad .” This man, like so many other Jews throughout the ages, turned to the Shema when all other words failed. We first hear the Shema from Moses as he addresses the Israelites in the Torah portion for this week (Deuteronomy 6:4). Moses realizes that life will not be easy, that the people he leads and their descendants will have many hardships, will experience spiritual and physical exile, will be lost and not know where to turn.

  • Chanting Psalm 118:1-4 in Hallel Aaron Alexander, Elliot N
    Chanting Psalm 118:1-4 in Hallel Aaron Alexander, Elliot N. Dorff, Reuven Hammer May, 2015 This teshuvah was approved on May 12, 2015 by a vote of twelve in favor, five against, and one abstention (12-5-1). Voting in Favor: Rabbis Aaron Alexander, Pamela Barmash, Elliot Dorff, Susan Grossman, Reuven Hammer, Joshua Heller, Jeremy Kalmanofsky, Gail Labovitz, Amy Levin, Micah Peltz, Elie Spitz, Jay Stein. Voting Against: Rabbis Baruch Frydman-Kohl, David Hoffman, Adam Kligfeld, Paul Plotkin, Avram Reisner. Abstaining: Rabbi Daniel Nevins. Question: In chanting Psalm 118:1-4 in Hallel, should the congregation be instructed to repeat each line after the leader, or should the congregation be taught to repeat the first line after each of the first four? Answer: As we shall demonstrate below, Jewish tradition allows both practices and provides legal reasoning for both, ultimately leaving it to local custom to determine which to use. As indicated by the prayer books published by the Conservative Movement, however, the Conservative practice has been to follow the former custom, according to which the members of the congregation repeat each of the first four lines of Psalm 118 antiphonally after the leader, and our prayer books should continue to do so by printing the psalm as it is in the Psalter without any intervening lines. However, because the other custom exists and is acceptable, it should be mentioned as a possible way of chanting these verses of Hallel in the instructions. A. The Authority of Custom on this Matter What is clear from the earliest Rabbinic sources is that local customs varied as to how to recite Hallel, and each community was authorized to follow its own custom.

  • Welcome to the Fort Tryon Jewish Center! an Independent, Traditional, Egalitarian Community
    Welcome to the Fort Tryon Jewish Center! An independent, traditional, egalitarian community An anchor of the Uptown Jewish community since 1938, we have thrived by evolving with our neighborhood and our membership. With deep roots nurturing new life, the congregation is a diverse mix of families and individuals of many backgrounds and many types of observance. How to use this companion: This companion has something for everyone and is intended to help all of us stay present and reflective--open to and focused on the spiritual renewal that’s available to us here and now. Keep this companion around: before, during, and in between the holidays. Flip through it when you’re inspired, bored, lost, or searching. Take a look at the sections on praying at home, the interpretive poetry for the season, or Rabbi Guy Austrian’s sermons. Use the transliterations to help you sing. Let the questions on the Torah and Haftarah readings serve as doorways into those sacred texts and opportunities to reflect on our lives. Also included are service outlines--both the complete service as normally done at FTJC, and a guided, streamlined service for the individual or family at home. Use the outlines to stay oriented along the arc of these days. How to use the machzor: Our machzor itself also has meaningful commentaries and stories below the line, as well as profound essays in the front. Let the prayers open up to you and open you up. and don’t worry much about maintaining a particular pace or saying every last word. Make space with silence, so that your own meditations, intentions, and personal prayers can emerge.
