  • The Ashkenazi Custom Not to Slaughter Geese in Tevet and Shevat
    179 The Ashkenazi Custom Not to Slaughter Geese in Tevet and Shevat By: ZVI RON The notes of R. Moshe Isserles supplement the Shulhaṇ Arukh by bringing the rulings and customs of Ashkenazi authorities. Scattered throughout his comments are references to various folkloric practices. These include the idea that placing the keys of the synagogue under a sick person’s head will cause them to pass away (Yoreh De‘ah 339:1),1 that blessing two grooms at once can bring on the evil eye (Even Haezer 62:3),2 and that a person can tell if they will survive the upcoming year by checking their shadow in the moonlight on Hoshana Rabbah (Orakh Hayyiṃ 664:1).3 In this article we will trace the origin of one such custom which is virtually forgotten today. R. Judah ha-Hasiḍ of Regensberg (1140–1217), a leading figure among the German Pietists (Hasideị Ashkenaz), is named as the source of an unusual Ashkenazi custom regarding the slaughter of geese. R. Moshe Isserles in his commentary to the Tur (Darkei Moshe, Yoreh De‘ah 11:2) notes that he found in the name of R. Judah ha-Hassiḍ that some slaugh- terers are careful not to slaughter geese during the month of Shevat. This is based on a tradition that whoever slaughters a goose during a particular hour in this month would die within the year. Since the precise hour is not known, slaughtering geese is avoided during the entire month. This is the reason people are careful not to eat geese during Shevat, lest they come to slaughter a goose during the dangerous hour.

JEWISH TIME- For over 2,000 years, Jews have juggled two calendars. According to the secular calendar, the date changes at midnight, the week begins on Sunday, and the year starts in the winter. According to the Hebrew calendar, the day begins at sunset, the week begins on Saturday night, and the new year is celebrated in the fall. The secular, or Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar, based on the fact that it takes 365.25 days for the earth to circle the sun. With only 365 days in a year, after four years an extra day is added to February and there is a leap year.

This fesval is celebrated in a joyous way: dressing up in costumes, acng silly, playing games, making noise to block out the name of the bad guy, cheering the heroes, and so on. We are told at the end of the Book of Esther to observe Purim as a day "of feasng and merrymaking, and as an occasion for sending gis to one another and presents to the poor." [9:22] So we parcipate in the mitzvot of mishloakh manot [sending gis] to our family and friends and matanot l'evyonim [gis to the poor]. I have to admit that I'm not much in the mood to celebrate this year. Purim was the last in‐person fesval that we celebrated as a congregaonal family last year just before the pandemic really hit Michigan in March. A few days aer Purim we were scheduled to leave on a ten‐day congregaonal trip to Israel. I had to make the decision to postpone the trip just a few hours before our Adult Purim Party. (A few days later, Israel closed its borders to travel from abroad.) I had so been looking forward to sharing Israel with members of our congregaon, most of whom were to be first‐me travelers to Israel, and then spending a few extra days in Jerusalem vising family and just enjoying being in that wonderful city.

Please see inside for the entire schedule. Rabbi Rob Scheinberg See www.hobokensynagogue.org and the USH Facebook page for more info on these and other upcoming events! My family and I have had a long-time Shabbat afternoon ritual: reading the Ethicist column in the New York Times Magazine, in which people pose their ethical quandaries to the columnist (now NYU Professor Kwame Anthony Appiah, but we have been doing this for at least the last four columnists for this column). We read the questions and discuss them, then we read the answers and decide whether or not we agree. (By the way, we are big fans of Professor Appiah.) Contemplating ethical dilemmas doesn’t necessarily make someone more ethical. But I do believe that the more someone wrestles with hard ethical issues, the better one gets at the kind of ethical analysis at which one weighs between two competing values. (Almost) everyone knows the difference between right and wrong. But ethical dilemmas are not usually about determining the difference between right and wrong, but weighing between right and right - trying to solve a problem in which all the sides have some appropriate argument to make in their favor.

  • Seeds of Hope: a Seder for Tu B’Shevat by Yosef I
    < Seeds | of Hope: A BABAGANEWZ Seder for Tu B’Shevat These pages contain the name of God; please treat them respectfully. “Behind every blade of grass is an angel who cheers, ‘Grow, grass, grow!’” ADAPTED FROM MIDRASH RABBAH 10:6 Seeds of Hope: A Seder for Tu B’Shevat By Yosef I. Abramowitz and Marilyn Z. Fine Refer to notes Introduction on page 6 for materials and The Tu B’ Shevet Seder is a place for everyone’s voice. Take turns reading instructions. aloud and discussing. Today we celebrate a birthday. The Mishnah proclaims the 15th day of the month of Shevat as the New Year for the Trees. New years are a time for hope and new beginnings. Two thousand years ago, Tu B’Shevat marked the beginning of a new year for calculating the agricultural ma’asrot (tithes, one- tenth of each person’s harvest). Part of the ma’asrot went to the Levites. Depending on the year, part fed the poor, and part was used in a festive celebration in Jerusalem. After the Temple was destroyed, and the Jews were exiled from Israel, we no longer gave ma’asrot. Still, Jews marked Tu B’Shevat by eating shiv’at haminim, the seven grains and fruits that are Biblically associated with Eretz Yisrael (wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates). In 16th century Tzefat in northern Israel, Rabbi Isaac Luria, a mystic, seeded a transformation of Tu B’Shevat by developing a festive Passover-like Seder featuring teachings, wine, and the fruits of the Land of Israel.

  • 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.
