Who is Behind it? The Israeli Center for Victims of Cults (ICVC) is well-known in Israel for its activities against a number of religious and spiritual movements that are depicted as harmful and dangerous. Over the years, the ICVC has managed to garner easy access to the media and Israeli government due to its moral panic narratives and campaign for an anti-cult law. It is therefore not surprising that the ICVC has also emerged in Europe, in particular, on the website of FECRIS (European Federation of Centers of Research and Information on Cults and Sects), as its Israel correspondent.1 For many years, FECRIS has been heavily criticized by international human rights organizations for fomenting social hostility and hate speech towards non-mainstream religions and worldviews, usually of foreign origin, and for stigmatizing members of these groups.2 Religious studies scholars and the scientific establishment in general have also denounced FECRIS for the lack of expertise of their so-called “cult experts”.

Group 2 Prayer in a World of Destruction
Prayer in a World of Destruction Group 2 Holocaust survivor Reuven Feldschuh was an active Zionist rabbi and educator. While imprisoned in the Warsaw ghetto he kept a diary, in Hebrew, in which he described the following: The kloyz [synagogue] is nearly full. The chazzan’s [cantor’s] modulated tefillah is melodious. An outsider observer of the ba’al tefillah [lit. leader of the prayers, the cantor] and the mitpalelim (worshippers) would not discern that the world is about to fall into an abyss. They all don their talit and tefillin [phylacteries]. If you close your eyes for a moment and do not look at these people, at their gaunt faces... and listen only to the hum of their prayers, you would be sure you happened upon the synagogue at a time of peace and tranquility... Young people are also in the camp of mitpalelim, and their numbers are not few. They, too, are partners to the formation of a mood in which the corporeal is forgotten and the neshama [soul] is surrendered to exalted, supreme worship, in which the dwindling of the body takes no part, and the suffering of the moment is considered naught... I was suddenly filled with a warmth the likes of which I had not felt throughout the war. Someone, or something, had carried me from here, borne me, and planted me amidst the Jews from the Middle Ages, who were fighting and dying for their faith... Out in the world -- murder, theft, robbery, fraud. Out on the street – cold. In the heart – grief and pain.

Solel at 50 Living Torah Project 1973-2023 / 5733-5783
Solel at 50 Living Torah Project 1973-2023 / 5733-5783 Our Solel Family We have much to be thankful for at Solel. We have built a strong, faith-based community a “kehillah.” In 2023 we will celebrate our next milestone: the 50th anniversary of Solel. Through the generous donation of Gerry and Nancy Z”L Willis, we’ve been fortunate to be able to initiate the writing of a new Torah scroll. Among the many exciting events to take place that year, we will honour them through the dedication of a new Sefer Torah. As a gift to all generations, we are starting our Living Torah Project that will culminate in the dedication of a new Torah. Our goal is to have every Solel member participate in the project so that we can match the generosity of Gerry and Nancy to complete our new Torah. L’dor V’Dor – From Generation to Generation, the Torah has been the legacy for the Jewish people. It guides our lives and unifies our voices. We raise it and read from it. Debate it and embrace it. Live by it and die for it. And now we have the privilege to write it. “Write for yourselves this song and teach it to all the Children of Israel” (Deuteronomy 31:19). Scholars have interpreted this to mean that if you write even one letter of a Sefer Torah, it is as if you have written the Torah in its entirety. This is especially significant for our education program, as our members, bar and bat mitzvah students and adults, serve as Torah readers on Shabbat and Holidays.

Jewish Identity After the Holocaust
Jewish Identity after the Holocaust Excerpt from interview with Professor Yehuda Bauer Director of the International Center for Holocaust Studies of Yad Vashem January 18, 1998, Yad Vashem Jerusalem Interviewer: Amos Goldberg Q- What about Jewish identity – how was it influenced by the Holocaust? B- As far as Jewish identity is concerned, this is very complicated. Jews do not agree with each other about what their identity actually is – whether it is religious or ethnic, or ethnic-religious, to what proportions, what religion means to them, and so on. There is a great difference of opinion within the Jewish community, because there is no common interpretation of self. The Holocaust has had a tremendous impact on this, but the impact varies in different parts of the Jewish community. For some people, it is a call to return to Orthodox religious observance. For others, it is a call to integrate into the non-Jewish world to avoid such things from happening in the future. And for yet others, it is a combination of insisting on particularity and extending a hand outside to the general concern of humanity to oppose mass murder and genocide. For some, it is a political tool to achieve political ends. I think using the Holocaust as a political tool is an abomination, and it must never be done. For all of them, I think, it is something that concerns their very core as Jews. The Holocaust affects all those who were born either before, or during, the event (and their number, of course, is diminishing), and all the rest who were born afterwards.

Torah Honor Instructions
B’nai Mitzvah Honor Instructions to Give to Family and Friends How to do Torah Service Ark Opening (Peticha) 1 You will open and close the ark at the beginning of the Torah service. Other people may also join you. Once the Torah service begins (p. 383), be prepared to come forward when called. You may wish to bring a siddur (prayerbook) with you. Wearing a head covering (a hat or kippah/yarmulke), especially on the bimah, is a traditional Jewish sign of respect. We invite you to wear one during your honor, if you feel comfortable doing so. It is also customary for Jewish adults to wear a tallit (prayer shawl); children under 13 would not. When we reach p. 385, open the wooden doors, if they are closed, and then one person opens the ark curtain by pulling the shorter string on the right side of the ark. Remain standing by the ark as the "shomer" or guardian of the Torah. Once the Torah has begun to parade around the sanctuary, a shomer closes the ark curtain using the short string. You may follow the Torah’s procession through the sanctuary, if you wish, and then return to your seat. ,ufrcu ezj Strength and Blessings Having an Aliyah You will come up to the bimah with other honorees to recite the blessings before and after the Torah reading. Please come up when the Rabbi announces your Aliyah. We generally invite people up with “Nah La’Amod” meaning “Please come up” to be welcoming and inclusive to all regardless of gender identity.

The Council’s goal is to make the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum the principal center supporting Holocaust studies in the United States. The Center’s programs include research and publication projects designed to shed new light on Holocaust-related subjects that have been studied previously, to fill gaps in the literature, and to make access to study of the Holocaust easier for new and established scholars and for the general public. The Center offers fellowship and visiting scholar opportunities designed to bring pre- and post-doctoral scholars, at various career stages, to the Museum for extended periods of research in the Museum’s growing archival collections and to prepare manuscripts for publication based on Holocaust-related research. Fellows and research associates participate in the full range of intellectual activities of the Museum and are provided the opportunity to make presentations of their work at the Center and at universities locally and nationwide.

Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer The Baal Shem Tov 6001 West Centinela Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90045 (310) 641-0707 . (800) 576-1994 FD 1358 hillsidememorial.org tioh.org A community service of Temple Israel of Hollywood Preface Four things are beautiful beyond belief: The pleasant weakness that comes after pain, The radiant greenness that comes after rain, The deepened faith that follows after grief, and the re-awakening to love again. Author unknown Jewish tradition assigns the mitzvah of burial as the greatest of all the commandments in Judaism because when performing it we know that we’ll receive nothing in return from the deceased. Our thoughts, therefore, must be purely selfless, loving and focused on our religious duty to honor the dead by caring for the physical remains of our dear ones. The elaborate burial and mourning rituals developed over 3,500 years of Jewish history, since the time of Abraham and Sarah, serve not only to assist mourners in this difficult life passage, but also to honor and bring dignity to the dead. These twin purposes (kavod la-chayeem - the dignity of the living, and kavod la-meit - the dignity of the dead) are held in gentle balance. They characterize the unique way in which Jews bid farewell to their loved ones while maintaining their hold on life itself.

Laws and Practices of Purim and Taanit Esther
Laws and Practices of Purim 5776 Below is an outline of the basic halakhot of Purim, based on traditional-Orthodox Halakha. If you have any specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you very much and enjoy Purim! Ta’anit Esther The day before Purim is the fast of Esther. The fast is a minor fast, lasting from alot ha- shachar (dawn) to tzeit ha-kochavim (nightfall). If anyone is feeling weak or sick throughout the day or has legitimate medical reasons why fasting is not safe for them, they need not fast. Liturgical additions include: ● Selichot; Avinu Malkeinu; and Torah reading for a public fast during Shacharit ● Torah and Haftarah of a public fast day; aneinu and sim shalom during the silent Amidah; birkat kohanim during Chazan’s repetition; avinu malkeinu during Mincha The fast this year begins at 5:26am in New Haven. You may find the times for wherever you are located at www.ou.org/holidays/calendar/#daily Breaking the fast Although the fast itself ends at tzeit ha-kochavim (7:38pm in New Haven), the fast is traditionally not broken until after the reading of the megilla. In the event that one feels ill, one may break the fast earlier. Megillah reading One of the essential mitzvot of Purim is to hear Megilat Esther read from a scroll at night and in the day. Men and women are equally obligated in this mitzvah. It is important to hear every word of the Megillah. If one misses a word, they may read it to themselves from a book and catch up with the public reading (but only for the minority of the words in the megillah).
