  • A Ritual for Entering Into Summer Reader 1 Spring Is Ending. We Remember the Spring Equinox
    A Ritual for Entering Into Summer Adapted, with gratitude, from the teachings of Rabbi Jill Hammer. (begin with a niggun / wordless melody) Reader 1 Spring is ending. We remember the spring equinox, the "first day of spring." We remember Pesach...the Omer...Shavuot...Memorial Day. We remember everything which has unfolded this spring. (Anyone who wishes may speak aloud a memory from this past spring.) Now we let those experiences go. We release spring, so that we can enter wholly into summer. Tonight, as the new moon of Tammuz rises, we approach the longest day of the year. Reader 2 Rabbi Jill Hammer teaches: The first day of the month of Tammuz falls in the heat of summer, when grass dries up and flowers begin to fall. In the Middle East, this is a burning season when no rain falls and at midday the heat is too intense for work. This new moon is the gateway to two fast days that mourn the siege of Jerusalem by the Romans, the destruction of the Temple, and the exile of the Jewish people: the seventeenth of Tammuz, and the ninth of Av. This season marks the exile and suffering of the Shekhinah herself, who is willing to wander and to experience pain for love of Her creatures. It is the time of the heart, when we let ourselves feel the sorrows of the world. It is the time when the spent flower falls to earth, and we do not yet know if new seed will come. Reader 3 In ancient Sumer they told tales of the god Tamuz, who died at this season and went into the underworld.

  • Significant Times and Dates
    Significant Times and Dates Festivals The Jewish Calendar Jewish holidays or festivals (yamim tovim) are holidays observed by Jews throughout the Hebrew calendar and include religious, cultural, and national aspects. Some are derived from Biblical mitzvot (commandments), others from rabbinic mandates, while others commemorate Jewish history and the history of the State of Israel. All Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date specified. This is because a Jewish day begins and ends at sunset, rather than at midnight. (It is inferred from the story of creation in Genesis, where it says, “And there was evening, and there was morning, one day”.) Jewish holidays occur on the same dates every year in the Hebrew calendar, but the dates vary in the Gregorian calendar. This is because the Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar (based on the cycles of both the moon and sun), whereas the Gregorian calendar is only a solar calendar. The Jewish calendar is primarily lunar, with each month beginning on the new moon. There are approximately 12.4 lunar months in every solar year, so a 12- month lunar calendar loses about 11 days every year. To prevent the “drifting” of months and holy days, Hillel II, in the fourth century, established a fixed calendar based on mathematical and astronomical calculations. This calendar, still in use today, realigned the lunar calendar with the solar years. Holidays of biblical and rabbinic (Talmudic) origin include Q The Sabbath Q Rosh Chodesh—The New Month Q Rosh Hashanah—The Jewish New Year Q Aseret Yemei Teshuva—Ten

  • The Three Weeks, Seventeenth of Tammuz and Tishah B'av
    THE THREE WEEKS, SEVENTEENTH OF TAMMUZ and Tishah B’AV he most cataclysmic events shaping the history of the Jewish people occurred on Tthe Seventeenth of Tammuz and Tishah B’Av (the Ninth of Av). Profound mistakes in our relationship with God and our fellow Jews resulted in national tragedies that led to the establishment of these days of mourning, fasting, and introspection. This three-week period is known as “Bein HaMeitzarim” – (lit. “between the straits”) – and is marked by a reduction in our joyous celebration of life. The goal of this class is to understand the underlying causes of the major calamities that occurred on the Seventeenth of Tammuz and Tishah B’Av so that we can take action to improve our character, and thus restore the glory of the Jewish people and help rebuild the Third Temple. This class will address the following questions: ~ Why should we be concerned with ancient historical events that seem to have no relevance to contemporary life? ~ What events transpired on the Seventeenth of Tammuz and on Tishah B’Av that have impacted the Jewish nation throughout history? ~ Why were the First and Second Temples destroyed? ~ How is our sense of reality profoundly different without the Temple? ~ What can we do to rebuild the Temple? ~ How can introspection, fasting, and mourning on Tishah B’Av help rebuild the Jewish nation? 1 Jewish Calendar SECTION I: WHY DO WE CELEBRATE THE PASSOVER SEDER? THE THREE WEEKS, SEVENTEENTH OF The celebration of Seder Night is a celebration of the Jewish national identity. Our nation came into being on Tammuz and Tishah B’AV Pesach night – in fact the prophet Yechezkel (Ezekiel 16:4) calls Pesach “the day of your birth.” However, Class Outline rather than just a “birthday party” of sorts, the essence of Seder Night is to integrate and internalize the themes most basic to our identity as Jews.

  • Selected Laws and Customs of Tisha B'av
    Selected Laws and Customs of Tishah B’Av 1. The Fast of the Seventeenth of Tammuz The seventeenth of Tammuz marks the beginning of the destruction of Jerusalem when the Romans breached the walls of the city (Mishna Ta’anit 4:6). The rabbis mention other calamities believed to have occurred on that date, including the breaking of the Tablets by Moses. The fast begins at sunrise and concludes after sunset of the same day. 2. The Three Weeks The days between the seventeenth of Tammuz and the ninth of Av are considered days of great sadness for they witnessed the breaching of the walls and the final destruction of the Temple. In rabbinic literature it is known as bein ha-metzarim “between the troublesome times.” It is also often called “the three weeks”. Weddings and other joyous celebrations should not take place during this period according to the Shulhan Arukh (O.H. 551:2) A further element of mourning is added during "the nine days” between the first and the ninth of Av. Although customs vary between Ashkenazim and Sephardim many pious individuals refrain from eating meat or drinking wine except on Shabbat or on other festive events such as a pidyon ha-ben. Haircuts are not taken during the whole three weeks according to many sources. 3. Tishah B’Av The fast of Tishah B’Av begins the night before and the last meal is known as the se'udah mafseket or “boundary meal” between eating and fasting. Historically the meal was compared to that which was served to mourners after a funeral, and so eggs are served.

  • Jewish Triads
    Sat 18 Feb 2017 / 22 Shevat 5777 B”H Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi Congregation Adat Reyim D’var Torah on Yitro Jewish triads In this week's Torah portion, Yitro, God gives the Torah to the Jews. We read: In the third month... it came to pass on the third day... that Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God... [Ex. 19:1, 16-17] In commenting on this passage, the Talmud says: A Galilean scholar lectured before Rabbi Chisda: “Blessed be the Merciful One who gave a three-fold Torah [consisting of the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings] to a three-fold people [consisting of Priests, Levites and Israelites] through a third-born [Moses, born after Aaron and Miriam] on the third day in the third month.” [Shabbat 88a] That's a lot of triads! And when you think about it, the number three is all over the place in Judaism. In the Torah itself, we learn that there are three patriarchs. Abraham was visited by three angels, three days after his circumcision. God told him to sacrifice his son Isaac at a place three days away. Adam had three sons. Noah had three sons. The prophet Balaam beat his donkey three times. Joseph’s fellow inmates told him of their dreams involving three branches and three baskets. The priestly benediction, birkat kohanim, is a threefold blessing. The Covenant between God and Israel is sealed by three things: Shabbat, circumcision and tefillin. The injunction not to seethe a calf in its mother's milk is repeated three times.
