    We are grateful for all the good we receive from behemot, from domesticated animals. Some of us eat them, some wear their skins, some eat eggs and cheese, some use medicines and even organs that come from animals, some wear wool and silk, some write on Torah scrolls, wear tefillin, and blow shofarot that come from animal’s bodies.

  • Daf Ditty Pesachim 71: the Core of Joy
    Daf Ditty Pesachim 71: The Core of Joy 1 at the time of rejoicing, on the Festival itself, and if it was slaughtered on the fourteenth it is not. The mitzva to bring a Festival peace-offering is also not fulfilled, for it is something that is an obligation, as everyone is obligated to bring this offering, and the principle is that anything that is an obligation must come only from that which is unconsecrated, meaning that one cannot bring an obligatory offering from an animal that has already been consecrated for another purpose. The Gemara proposes: Let us say that a baraita supports him. The verse states: Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto the LORD thy God 15 וט ְתּמתיﬠִשׁב ָי,םחַָ ֹגִ FֱהDיוהַלהא ֶ,יָ ֶ,יָ FֱהDיוהַלהא in the place which the LORD shall choose; because the LORD קשׁ,ַבּאםמּ ֲֶָרוֹ - ְיָהוה: ְִיַבחר יִכּ Fבי ְהְכהויר ְֶָָ ְהְכהויר Fבי יִכּ thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work ,בֶּיFֱאDה לתְּכ בFְָתוּאבֹ למְכְוּ הֲַשׂﬠֹ ֵי ,ֶיFָד ,ֶיFָד ֵי הֲַשׂﬠֹ למְכְוּ בFְָתוּאבֹ לתְּכ ,בֶּיFֱאDה .of thy hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful ֵָשַׂמ.ח ְוִָייהָ,תַאT ֵָשַׂמ.ח Deut 16:15 “Seven days shall you celebrate to the Lord your God in the place that the Lord shall choose, for the Lord your God shall bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be but joyous” This verse seems superfluous, as it was already stated in the previous verse: “And you shall rejoice in your Festival.” The baraita expounds: “And you shall be but joyous” comes to include the last night of the Festival.

  • Rosh Hashanah Jewish New Year
    ROSH HASHANAH JEWISH NEW YEAR “The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the Israelite people thus: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe complete rest, a sacred occasion commemorated with loud blasts. You shall not work at your occupations; and you shall bring an offering by fire to the LORD.” (Lev. 23:23-25) ROSH HASHANAH, the first day of the seventh month (the month of Tishri), is celebrated as “New Year’s Day”. On that day the Jewish people wish one another Shanah Tovah, Happy New Year. ש נ ָׁהָׁטוֹב ָׁה Rosh HaShanah, however, is more than a celebration of a new calendar year; it is a new year for Sabbatical years, a new year for Jubilee years, and a new year for tithing vegetables.

  • CHABAD of MID SUFFOLK Bar/Bat Mitzvah Handbook
    CHABAD OF MID SUFFOLK Bar/Bat Mitzvah Handbook 318 Veterans Highway, Commack, NY 11725 (631) 543-3343 www.ChabadMidSuffolk.com A Thought A Bar or Bat Mitzvah is the time of a child‟s life when they become a Jewish Adult in the Jewish community. This marks a new stage when they are no longer practicing all the traditions and rituals, but are now full fledged adults and have the rights and responsibilities of the millions of Jews who passed this stage before them. As they are just about to enter their „teen‟ years, this beautiful process will allow them to find the pride and identity amongst their elders and friends. At Chabad we try to work with you to make the over-all process as powerful and memorable as possible to yourself, your child and all those involved. The most powerful thing we can do for your child is to give them positive memories of their Jewish education along with a strong footing in their Jewish heritage that will last them a lifetime. Of course we could not complete the journey without the complete support of the parents at home. Although we keep homework to a minimum, as the big day gets closer, there will be extra time needed at home. Your support and encouragement will go a long way and by making the studying a priority will help make the big day extra special. Mazel Tov! BAT MITZVAH The following is a description of a typical Bat Mitzvah service, which is approximately one hour, and includes prayers as well as reading selected verses from the Torah portion and D'var Torahs (speeches).

  • Religious School Parents Handbook
    ... from the Education Director Welcome to our school! Some features of our school of which we are especially proud: Tzedakah & Tikun Olam Our students learn the importance of Jewish ethics and values. They learn about Tikun Olam (repairing the world) and Tzedakah through hands-on participation in ongoing charity projects, including providing food for the homeless, Habitat for Humanity and literacy programs. B’nai Mitzvah students provide meaningful gifts; these have included money, time, books, blankets, mittens, and services. Services Learning to participate in congregational services is an important part of our school. Every school day starts with Tefilah in the sanctuary. The Rabbi is joined by students assigned to do recitations for day. He adds insight and explanations. On Sundays, Mrs. Hindy Kalmenson explores the weekly Torah portion with discussion, drama and games. Bar/Bat Mitzvah During the week prior to being called to the Torah as a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, our students read Torah on Monday and Thursday morning and lead Shaharit on Friday morning. On Shabbat morning, they read Torah and Haftarah and lead the Torah service and Musaf. Family Events In addition to classroom learning, students come together for holiday activities, family learning workshops, Shabbat services and Havdalah. Learning Differences Our religious school program is open to children in grades K-8. Our staff works with our families to develop and modify instruction to meet the individual needs of each student. At Beth El, it is important for all learners to have access to their Jewish heritage. Our program engages students in Judaic studies, cultural experiences, Hebrew instruction, and prayer skills.
