  • Shabbat-B'shabbato – Parshat Behaalotecha No 1577: 19 Sivan 5775 (6 June 2015)
    Shabbat-B'Shabbato – Parshat Behaalotecha No 1577: 19 Sivan 5775 (6 June 2015) AS SHABBAT APPROACHES Testimony for All of Humanity - by Rabbi Oury Cherki, Machon Meir, Rabbi of Beit Yehuda Congregation, Jerusalem This week's Haftarah begins with the return of the Shechina – the holy Presence – to Zion and with the significance of this process for mankind: "Sing and be happy, daughter of Zion, for I am coming, and I will dwell within you – this is what G-d says. And many nations will join together with G-d on that day." [Zecharia 2:14-15]. The end of the Haftarah describes the Shechina as an image of a Menorah, similar to the one in the Temple. The proximity of the two images is taken by the sages as proof that the Menorah will serve as testimony for all of humanity that the Shechina dwells within Bnei Yisrael. It is true that the Menorah is placed outside of the Holy of Holies, such that at first glance it would seem that it is at a lower level of sanctity than the Ark of the Covenant, where the Torah is kept. This corresponds to the notion that the nation of Yisrael, including the appearance of the Shechina within it, is of minor importance when compared to the Torah. However, Rav Kook explains that this is only true from an external point of view, but that from an internal viewpoint – since the Torah was given for the sake of Yisrael and Yisrael preceded the Torah – the Menorah is indeed holier than the Ark.

  • Shauni: ​This Week's Torah Portion Is ​Parashat Emor​. We Will Be
    May 3, 2018 Parashat Emor https://www.sefaria.org/Leviticus.21.1-15?lang=bi&aliyot=1 http://mirowitztorahreading.weebly.com/emor.html Ezra Ezra ben Yehoshu’a Asher v’Temima Fayga Shauni Chana Lilah bat Kalanit v’Warren Annika Chanukkah bat Miriam v’Yosef Abigail Yosef bat Laura v’Steven Omri Omri ben Eli-Mordecai v’Osnat Shauni: This week’s Torah portion is Parashat Emor. We will be reading ​ ​ ​ from Sefer Vayikra, the Book of Leviticus, Chapter 21, Verses 1-3. Emor ​ ​ ​ means “speak.” G-d tells Moshe to speak to the kohanim, the priests, about ​ ​ what they should do to be extra holy in order to serve in the Temple. Parashat Emor also tells us about the special holidays of the Jewish calendar, ​ which make time holy throughout the year. The holy days connect us with our people, the land, the seasons, and with God. The first holy day mentioned is Shabbat, the day of rest. Omri: Then come Pesach and Shavuot, followed by the fall holidays: Rosh ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. Parashat Emor also includes the mitzvah ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ of counting the omer. All of us are commanded to count the omer. All year long, the Kohanim at our Holy Temple, offered wheat to God. In a ceremony from Pesach until Shavuot, barley was added, and the Kohanim ​ counted on behalf of the Jewish People. These days we do the counting for ourselves. We count from the second day of Passover until just before Shavuot. That’s 7 weeks of 7 days - 7 weeks x 7 days equals 49 days! The 50th day is Shavuot.

  • Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D
    Names 39.2 (June 1991) Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D. Lawson1 Abstract Samples of men's and women's names drawn from English language editions of Israeli telephone directories identify the most common names in current usage. These names, categorized into Biblical, Traditional, Modern Hebrew, and Non-Hebrew groups, indicate that for both men and women over 90 percent come from Hebrew, with the Bible accounting for over 70 percent of the male names and about 40 percent of the female. Pronunciation, meaning, and Bible citation (where appropriate) are given for each name. ***** The State of Israel represents a tremendous opportunity for names research. Immigrants from traditions and cultures as diverse as those of Yemen, India, Russia, and the United States have added their onomastic contributions to the already existing Jewish culture. The observer accustomed to familiar first names of American Jews is initially puzzled by the first names of Israelis. Some of them appear to be biblical, albeit strangely spelled; others appear very different. What are these names and what are their origins? Benzion Kaganoffhas given part of the answer (1-85). He describes the evolution of modern Jewish naming practices and has dealt specifi- cally with the change of names of Israeli immigrants. Many, perhaps most, of the Jews who went to Israel changed or modified either personal or family name or both as part of the formation of a new identity. However, not all immigrants changed their names. Names such as David, Michael, or Jacob required no change since they were already Hebrew names.

  • Rita Losch on Vayikra
    HOLY SMOKE! Parsha Vayikra (Leviticus 1:1-5:26) Day after day, I've been banging my head against this week's Torah portion, Vayikra. I'm trying to find my way in. Here, the people are instructed about the procedures for preparing burnt animal offerings to G*d, to atone for sin or guilt, and even to pray for well-being. In excruciating detail, Vayikra describes animal sacrifice. Simply reading this is disturbing; the animal being slaughtered suffers beyond the limits of pain and terror. My modern, quasi-civilized, not-very-humble, mostly- vegetarian Northern California sensibilities can find almost no redeeming message in these first five chapters of Leviticus. I don't mean to be mean or irreverent or incendiary, but -- with all due respect to Torah -- I find this mind-numbing animal torture and incineration extremely disgusting. My nausea is blocking my intelligence. So, how to find my way in? I could take a more cerebral, less visceral approach: I could explore the concepts of sin, guilt, confession, expiation, punishment, restitution and forgiveness. I could look for scapegoating metaphors: is the animal in G*d's abattoir a stand-in for ourselves? I could google countless rabbinic sermons on Vayikra, and see how Maimonides' Guide for the Perplexed might help baffled students like me. Losch: Vayikra 1 I could riff on how two letters in the word sacred can so easily be transposed to form scared. That would be clever and fun. ••• But finally, I have found my way in -- through my body! My only viable approach to this week's Torah portion Vayikra is from an olfactory angle.

  • Vayikra (Leviticus) 21:1-24:23 Parshat Emor Continues the Description Of
    Emor VaYikra (Leviticus) 21:1-24:23 Parshat Emor continues the description of the special rules and observances of the Kohanim. The priests are to avoid coming into contact with a corpse, and are not to shave smooth any parts of their heads. They are forbidden to marry a divorced woman, and must always be scrupulous in carrying out their duties. Moses speaks to all the people about the holidays, this being one of several calendars of holidays found in the Torah. Apart from the Shabbat, the Jewish people are to observe Passover, and seven weeks later, Shavuot, a celebration of the harvest. On the first day of the seventh month (Tishrei), the people are to mark a “sacred occasion with loud blasts”, which we, of course, recognize as Rosh Hashanah and the sounds of the Shofar. The tenth day of the same month, Tishrei, is to be a Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. Sukkot, celebrated on the fifteenth day of Tishrei, follows Yom Kippur by 5 days, and is observed for seven days. The people are to mark the eighth day, the day after Sukkot, as Shimini Atzeret, with a special sacrifice. On all of these holidays, we are told to refrain from work. The portion concludes with the description of an incident in which a man born of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian man fights with a man born of two Israelite parents. The half-Israelite blasphemes G-d’s name in the course of the fight. G-d tells Moses that the man is to be stoned to death as punishment.

  • Unpacking the Book #12The Tabernacle
    The W.E.L.L. Stoneybrooke Christian Schools Sherry L. Worel www.sherryworel.com 2012.UTB.12 Unpacking the Book #12The Tabernacle I. An overview There are nearly 470 verses in our bible used to describe the form and furnishings of the Tabernacle and Temple. The bible gives a very specific plan for the building of the tabernacle. However, the temple is not outlined in detail. I Chron. 28:11‐19 does seem to indicate that the Lord gave David some sort of plan or model. The tabernacle was an ornate tent shrine that served the people of Israel for approximately 200 years until it was replaced by Solomon’s temple. This temple served as God’s home for approximately 400 years until the Babylonians destroyed it in 586 BC. When the Israelites returned from Babylon, Zerubbabel over saw the rebuilding of a much inferior temple in 520 BC. This building was damaged and repaired many times until Herod built his “renovation” in 19 BC. The Roman General, Titus destroyed this temple in 70AD. II. The Tabernacle (The Tent of Meeting or Place of Dwelling) A. Consider the New Testament perspective: Hebrews 9:9‐11, 10:1, Col. 2:17 and Revelation 15:5, 21:3 B. Moses was given a model of this meeting house by God Himself (Ex. 25:40) C. The craftsmen Bezalel and Oholiab built this ornate tent. See Ex. 25‐27, 35‐40 for all the details. 1. There was a linen fence that formed an outer courtyard. In that courtyard were two furnishings: a.

  • 'David's Women': a Critical Comparison of Michal, Bathsheba and Tamar In
    UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM ‘DAVID’S WOMEN’ A CRITICAL COMPARISON OF MICHAL, BATHSHEBA AND TAMAR IN 1 SAMUEL AND 2 SAMUEL. By Julia Michelle Hogan A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Research in Theology and Religion.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract In this thesis I shall look at the narratives of three women in 1 and 2 Samuel: Michal, Bathsheba and Tamar. I will argue how these women each endure incredible experiences of suffering that are brought about primarily through the actions of both King David and the narrator. These women suffer at the hands of the narrator due to the narratives neglect in recording their experiences in any detail in the text. Instead, it will be my argument that these women are simply used as a means of continuing and explaining the events that happen in the plot of 1 and 2 Samuel and the ‘David story’. It will be my aim then to attempt to bring these women’s experiences to the forefront of the text and uncover their lost voices.

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.
