  • Yom Kippur Morning Sinai Temple Springfield, Massachusetts October 12, 2016
    Yom Kippur Morning Sinai Temple Springfield, Massachusetts October 12, 2016 Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die...?1 Who shall live and who shall die...? It was but a few weeks from the pulpit of Plum Street Temple in Cincinnati and my ordination to the dirt of Fort Dix, New Jersey, and the “night infiltration course” of basic training. As I crawled under the barbed wire in that summer night darkness illumined only by machine-gun tracer-fire whizzing overhead, I heard as weeks before the voice of Nelson Glueck, alav hashalom, whispering now in the sound of the war-fury ever around me: carry this Torah to amkha, carry it to your people. Who shall live and who shall die...? I prayed two prayers that night: Let me live, God, safe mikol tzarah v’tzukah, safe from all calamity and injury; don’t let that 50-calibre machine gun spraying the air above me with live ammunition break loose from its concrete housing. And I prayed once again. Let me never experience this frightening horror in combat where someone will be firing at me with extreme prejudice. Who shall live and who shall die...? I survived. The “terror [that stalks] by night” and “the arrow that flies by day” did not reach me.”2 The One who bestows lovingkindnesses on the undeserving carried me safely through. But one of my colleagues was not so lucky. He was a Roman Catholic priest. They said he died from a heart attack on the course that night. I think he died from fright.

  • For Shabbat Morning Prayers. As I Explain On
    Here is an abridged Matbeah – service – for Shabbat morning prayers. As I explain on our homepage, while most of this abridged service is designed as if one is davening – praying – alone, I have included the recitation of Mourner’s Kaddish for those who are in mourning or observing Yahrzeit. Ideally, all of us will begin praying at 9:30am on Shabbat morning with a kavannah – intentionality – towards one another. In this way, we will form a community even if we are not standing together in the sanctuary. All of the pages on this outline refer to our Sim Shalom prayer book; however, all of these prayers appear in most traditional prayer books. There is a link to a scanned document with all of the following pages on our homepage. p.10 - Birkot HaShachar p.16-18 - Rabbinic Texts p. 20 - Kaddish D’Rabbanan (for those in mourning or observing Yahrzeit) p.32 - Psalm for Shabbat p. 52 - Mourner’s Kaddish (for those in mourning or observing Yahrzeit) p.54 - Barush She’amar p.72 - Hodu p. 80-82 - Ashrei p. 88 – Halleluyah (Psalm 150) p. 92-94 - Shirat Hayam p. 336-338 - Ha’El B’Tatzumot through Yishtabach (Stop before Hatzi Kaddish) p. 340-352 - Shema and its surrounding prayers before and after p. 354-364 - Silent Amidah (without Kedushah, insert Atah Kadosh paragraph instead) ** Skip the Torah Service ** p. 415 - Prayer for Our Country p. 416 - Prayer for the State of Israel p. 430-440 - Silent Musaf Amidah (without Kedushah, insert Atah Kadosh paragraph instead) p. 510 - Aleinu After this service, I then encourage you to open up a Chumash or some printed version of the Torah reading for the week and read it in Hebrew or English.

  • PARSHA INSIGHTS by Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair
    SHABBAT PARSHAT MATOT MASEI • 26 TAMMUZ 5780 JULY 18, 2020 • VOL. 27 NO. 32 PARSHA INSIGHTS by Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair Device Maintenance “Moshe wrote their goings forth, according to their journeys at the bidding of Hashem, and these were their journeys according to their goings forth.” (33:2) he screen flashed: “Device maintenance! Tap below to optimize your machine!” I tapped. “Wow! You’ve got 5 memory-hungry programs hogging up your memory! Let’s see what we can you about this! T Tap below to improve it! This won’t affect your personal data.” I tap the button. Immediately, circles spin on my screen, and little flashes, like so many drops of sweat, seem to spin off the circles as we valiantly do battle with those memory-hugging hogs. And then, in quick succession, “10 background apps closed.” “100 MB of storage space freed up.” “No abnormal battery use detected.” “No app crashes detected.” “No malware apps detected.” “Virus scanning turned on.” “Total freed up – 2.5 GB since you started using Device Maintenance!” And at the top the screen, inside a large circle throb the words: “100 – Excellent! Your device had been optimized.” I felt good about that. It’s amazing how far a little encouragement goes – even from an inanimate machine. “Moshe wrote their goings forth, according to their journeys at the bidding of Hashem, and these were their journeys according to their goings forth.” In the first half of this verse, Hashem tells Moshe to encourage the people and write that all their “goings forth” were only for the goal of reaching Eretz Yisrael — the destination of all their “journeyings.” That is why in the first half of the sentence, “goings forth” precedes the word “journeys.” Without that encouragement to the Jewish People in the desert, their journeyings seemed like nothing more than an incessant road-trip.

  • Daf Ditty Pesachim 118: Hallel Ha-Gadol
    Daf Ditty Pesachim 118: Hallel Ha-Gadol Psalm 117, f. 21r in Passover Haggadah, with ritual instructions in French (Bouton Haggadah) Zürich, Braginsky Collection, B315 Expanses, expanses, Expanses divine my soul craves. Confine me not in cages, Of substance or of spirit. My soul soars the expanses of the heavens. Walls of heart and walls of deed Will not contain it. Morality, logic, custom - My soul soars above these, Above all that bears a name, 1 Above all that is exalted and ethereal. I am love-sick - I thirst, I thirst for God, As a deer for water brooks. Rav Kook, Chadarav, p. 391 They pour for him the third cup and he says grace after his meal. The fourth, and he concludes on it the Hallel and says on it the Blessing of the Song. Between these cups he may drink if he chooses, but between the third and the fourth he should not drink. Rabbi Simchah Roth writes:2 1: In the Gemara [Pesachim 117b] we are told that each of the four cups of wine during the Seder is designated for a certain mitzvah. The first is for Kiddush, the second is for the 'telling' (the 'haggadah'), the third is for Grace After Meals, and the fourth is for the Hallel. 2: In the Gemara [Pesachim 118a] a baraita is quoted: On the fourth [cup] he concludes the Hallel and recites the Great Hallel... The Great Hallel is then identified as Psalm 136, which includes the phrase 'for His kindness is everlasting' twenty-six times. (This is the view of Rabbi Tarfon, which is accepted; another view is also quoted in the baraita according to which the Great Hallel is Psalm 23.) More than one reason is offered for the inclusion of Psalm 136; the most appealing is probably that offered by Rabbi Yoĥanan: because God sits in his highest heaven and allocates food for each creature.

  • NISSAN Rosh Chodesh Is on Sunday
    84 NISSAN The Molad: Friday afternoon, 4:36. The moon may be sanctified until Shabbos, the 15th, 10:58 a.m.1 The spring equinox: Friday, the 7th, 12:00 a.m. Rosh Chodesh is on Shabbos Parshas Tazria, Parshas HaChodesh. The laws regarding Shabbos Rosh Chodesh are explained in the section on Shabbos Parshas Mikeitz. In the Morning Service, we recite half-Hallel, then a full Kaddish, the Song of the Day, Barchi nafshi, and then the Mourner’s Kaddish. Three Torah scrolls are taken out. Six men are given aliyos for the weekly reading from the first scroll. A seventh aliyah is read from the second scroll, from which we read the passages describing the Shabbos and Rosh Chodesh Mussaf offerings (Bamidbar 28:9-15), and a half-Kaddish is recited. The Maftir, a passage from Parshas Bo (Sh’mos 12:1-20) which describes the command to bring the Paschal sacrifice, is read from the third scroll. The Haftorah is Koh amar... olas tamid (Y’chezkel 45:18-46:15), and we then add the first and last verses of the Haftorah Koh amar Hashem hashomayim kis’ee (Y’shayahu 66:1, 23- 24, and 23 again). Throughout the entire month of Nissan, we do not recite Tachanun, Av harachamim, or Tzidkas’cha. The only persons who may fast during this month are ones who had a disturbing dream, a groom and bride on the day of their wedding, and the firstborn on the day preceding Pesach. For the first twelve days of the month, we follow the custom of reciting the Torah passages describing the sacrifices which the Nesi’im (tribal leaders) offered on these dates at the time the Sanctuary was dedicated in the desert.
