I appreciate being able to over the centuries we have created liturgy to help us with hide in the group aspect, as we confess our sins in the this task. However, it was never intended to be a substitute plural. Each year as I read the list, I also feel the list in for true self-examination and confession but as a source of some ways is a cop-out - a way of getting me out of the motivation and operationalizing. This liturgy took the place hard work of coming up with my own list of what I have of placing our sins on the goat we sent off to the wilderness done wrong. And while there are some parts of the during the time of the sacrifices.

  • 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.

  • Getting Our Heads Around Jewish Prayer
    Getting our Heads Around Jewish Prayer HOW DID WE GET HERE? MOVING FROM SACRIFICE TO A SIDDUR The “Jazz” of Worship The Rabbis called this improvisation kavannah, a word we usually translate as inner directedness of the heart, a proper balance, we believe, to the numbed rote that mumbling through the prayer book can become. It’s hard to say exactly when, but liturgy was probably in place, at least in rabbinic circles, by the last century BCE or the first century CE. The “Jazz” of Worship The Rabbis transform private prayer of the moment into a public work like the cult: the honoring of God by the offering of our lips. ◦ First it was set to time. ◦ Second, there were rules about how to do it. And third, each service was structured as to a succession of themes that had to be addressed by the oral interpreters. What the melody line is to jazz, the thematic development is to rabbinic prayer. If improvised wording was kavannah (the “something new” that sages offered when they prayed), the structure of the service was called keva, fixity, predictability, order. Proper prayer combined them both. The case of Rav Ashi and Kedusha Rabbah Pesachim 106a סבר מאי ניהו The Gemara relates that Rav Ashi happened to come to the city of Meḥoza. The Sages of Meḥoza said to קידושא רבה אמר him on Shabbat day: Will the Master recite for us the great kiddush? And they immediately brought him מכדי כל הברכות .a cup of wine כולן בורא פרי Rav Ashi was unsure what they meant by the term great kiddush and wondered if the residents of הגפן אמרי ברישא Meḥoza included other matters in their kiddush.

  • Guide to Shavuot at Home 5780 Erev Shavuot
    Guide to Shavuot at Home 5780 Erev Shavuot – Thursday May 28 ● Eiruv Tavshilin should be prepared. This is to allow one to cook on Friday (Yom Tov) for Shabbat. Set aside a cooked food and a baked food that will be eaten on Shabbat and then: Take the food items (it is a good idea to wrap them in aluminum foil, or another distinctive packaging, to easily keep them apart from the rest of the foods in your home), and raise them a handbreadth, and then recite the following: Blessed are you, L-rd our G-d, king of the universe, who has sanctified us with his commandments, and commanded us concerning the mitzvah of eruv. Through this [eruv] it shall be permissible for us to bake, cook, put away a dish [to preserve its heat], kindle a light, prepare, and do on the holiday all that is necessary for Shabbat — for us and for all the Israelites who dwell in this city. The eruv is put away until Shabbat, when it is eaten. In many communities, it is customary to use the challah or matzah as one of the two loaves of bread used at the Shabbat meal. ● One should make an effort to daven mincha before plag hamincha which is at 7:19pm. We will have a Zoom pre-Yom Tov ruach at 6:45pm followed by Mincha at 7:05pm. ● Candle lighting should take place at 8:31pm. Many women have the custom to recite shehecheyanu immediately after lighting candles (note: women who will be reciting Kiddush themselves may not recite shehecheyanu at candle lighting).

    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Roslyn Jhunever Barak Roslyn Jhunever Barak: Song and Spirit: A Cantor’s Life Congregation Emanu-El, San Francisco, 1987-2015 Interviews conducted by Basya Petnick 2014-2015 Copyright © 2017 by the Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by legal agreements between The Regents of the University of California and Roslyn Barak and between the Regents and Basya Petnick, dated April 17, 2017 and April 19, 2017, respectively.

    úáùì øåãéñ Siddur for Shabbat úáùì øåãéñ Siddur for Shabbat David Singer, Editor Berkeley Hillel 5763 2003 i ii Contents Preface iv On Usage v Shabbat Evening Service 1 Shabbat Morning Service 43 Havdalah 95 Supplementary Prayers 97 Songs 103 iii Preface This siddur was first created by the Reform minyan at UC Berkeley, California in the spring of 2003. In deciding to compile this siddur, students embarked on an ambitious process: how could they best combine over twenty distinct creative service packets into one inclusive and comprehensive siddur which would suit the needs of the Berkeley Reform Jewish community’s prayer in all circumstances for years to come? Further, the prayer service, while in need of energy and creativity, was also worthy of respect and in due need of a certain amount of structure which service packets could not provide. It is our hope that this siddur meets that need, and accordingly that it can and will be used for Erev and Shacharit Shabbat and Havdalah services as well as song sessions. Further, it is our hope that this siddur will help to meet the same need in other youth and young adult minyanim for years to come. We thank the many people who have helped to make this siddur a reality, especially to those who spent countless hours compiling and editing. To David Singer, Melissa Loeffler, Jill Cozen-Harel, Becky Gimbel, David Abraham and Athalia Markowitz special thanks are due. The original printing of this siddur would not be possible if not for the generous financial support provided by Temple Beth El of Berkeley, CA.
