Renew Our Days: a Prayer-Cycle for Days of Awe Transliteration for Renew Our Days: A Prayer-Cycle for Days of Awe Edited and translated by Rabbi Ronald Aigen z’’l Renew Our Days Maḥzor: Copyright © 2016 by The Reconstructionist Synagogue of Montreal (d/b/a Congregation Dorshei Emet). All rights reserved. Transliteration Copyright Ó 2017 by Kehillah Synagogue Chapel Hill, North Carolina About This Transliteration Kehillah Synagogue adopted Renew Our Days as our high-holiday Maḥzor more than a decade ago. It has met the congregation’s needs well for those who read Hebrew. To enable people who don’t read Hebrew to participate, we’ve always provided a transliteration booklet that transliterates a small portion of the Maḥzor, but it hasn’t need this recognized also ז״ל Aigen Rabbi participation. full allow to enough been and added more transliteration to each successive edition of the printed Maḥzor. Before Rabbi Aigen’s untimely passing, Howard Glicksman discussed with him the idea of producing a new edition of the Maḥzor with full transliteration. Rabbi Aigen was enthusiastic and was planning to participate in producing this new edition. With the cooperation of Congregation Dorshei Emet, we have pressed ahead with the project. This transliteration “booklet” is the first step of that effort. The initial transliteration was produced from computer files of the Hebrew text by a computer program written by Lee Nackman. The program attempts to reproduce Rabbi Aigen’s style of transliteration, as described on pages xxii and xxiii of the printed Maḥzor. Since the program is imperfect, the automatically-produced transliteration was proofread and edited by Eric Silberman, a student at Hebrew College Rabbinical School. Eric also identified improvements to the program. Eric’s work was funded by Kehillah Synagogue through a contribution from Howard Glicksman and Lois Bronstein. We hope that this booklet is a useful interim aide to help non-Hebrew readers participate more fully in the Kehillah’s 5778 High Holiday services. We hope that there is enough positive feedback to encourage completing this project by producing a new printed edition of the Maḥzor with full transliteration in the three-column style used in our Siddurim. In this style, each page has three columns: Hebrew, English translation, and English transliteration. We would welcome your feedback on this approach.

  • A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger's View of Opening A
    A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat Rabbi Michael J. Broyde Introduction Thank you to Rabbi Yaacov Sasson for his comments on footnote 59 of the article “The Use of Electricity on Shabbat and Yom Tov” found in the Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society, 21:4-47 (Spring 1991) co-written by Rabbi Jachter and myself. It is always nice to have people commenting on articles written more than 25 years ago.[1] Before delving into the halacha, it is worth clarifying some preliminary facts – in particular, whether refrigerators even had automatic lights during the first half of the 1930s. Some commenters have suggested that such lights were not yet present, or that they were limited to rare and expensive refrigerators. This is not correct. I reproduce below a wide variety of newspaper ads from the early 1930s that show that a range of refrigerator models by many manufacturers at various price points featured automatic interior lights (see attachments here). These include a Frigidaire priced at $157.50, a GE priced at $99.50, a Majestic model with no price, a Frigidaire priced at $119.50, a Leonard priced at $114.75 and many more.[2] And while some of the publications appear targeted to the upper class, many others are clearly meant for wider audiences – particularly those available on installment plans (“$5 down, 15¢ a day”; “Nothing down! 20¢ a day!”; “$7 Initial Payment – enables you to enjoy any of these refrigerators immediately.

  • Messianic Yisra'el Daily & Shabbat Siddur
    BEIT IMMANUEL Global Outreach Synagogue YHVH PUBLISHING HOUSE Holy to ADONAI MESSIANIC YISR A'EL SIDDUR DAILY & SHABBAT SIDDUR PRAYER BOOK BEIT IMMANUEL Global Outreach Synagogue by YHVH PUBLISHING HOUSE Messianic Yisra'el Daily & Shabbat Siddur THE GIFT AND BEAUTY OF SHABBAT When ADONAI rested from His work of creation, He gave us the 7th Day - the Shabbat (or Shabbat). ADONAI sanctified this day and taught us to do likewise. So the Shabbat is given as a sign between ADONAI and His people, and as a commemoration of our Creator, and the very act of creation. In its simplest definition, "Shabbat" means "Rest," and so each Shabbat is a day of rest ... rest in the sense of ceasing from all the normal work & activities of the other six days of the week. It is to be a time of joy, peace and tranquility, away from the cares and worries of the world. ADONAI Elohim calls each Shabbat day "a holy convocation". "Convocation" means a "gathering together"; it is a group of believers assembling or gathering for worship, praise, and celebration. Shabbat is a day of rejoicing and joining with one another in the Presence of ADONAI! The Shabbat is a picture of the Olam Ha'Ba, or the world to come. In the rhythm of the Olam Ha'Zeh, or the present world that we live in now, however, the Shabbat is a sacred time to become spiritually reconnected with our true identities, as ADONAI Elohim's own children. "I have a precious gift in my treasure house, said ADONAI Elohim to Moses,'Shabbat' is its name; go and tell Yisra'el I wish to present it to them." ( Genesis 2:2 ) The children of Yisra'el shall keep the Shabbat throughout their generations as a covenant forever.

  • Composer Biographies and Annotations
    The Composers — ROBERT APPLEBAUM (bobapplebaum.com) For many years, music was an abiding love but a professional sideline for Robert Applebaum, who taught physics and chemistry at New Trier High School, Winnetka, IL, from 1965 until his retirement in June 2000. He began composing choral music for the Jewish liturgy in 1980 and has written three Sabbath services, including one for choir and jazz trio. He has composed choral settings of many psalms as well as non-secular texts. Professional, community, and children’s choirs throughout the world have performed Applebaum’s music. Chicago a cappella included two of his Chanukah pieces on their 2002 recording Holidays Live and three of his settings of Shakespeare texts on their highly acclaimed 2005 Çedille release, Shall I Compare Thee? His setting of Im Ein Ani Li Mi Li is included on Chicago a cappella’s 2010 recording, Days of Awe and Rejoicing. As a jazz pianist/composer, he has three albums to his credit: Hora and Blue (Global Village, 1993) with the Modern Klezmer Quartet, The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree (jazz piano duos with his son Mark Applebaum (Innova, 2002), and Friday Night Jazz Service (2007). ROBERT APPLEBAUM on El Malei Rachamim “When Cantor Nancy Kassel contacted me with the assignment to set this prayer, my first re- sponse was ‘Thank you for giving me such a juicy text!’. Three images in this text resonated for me: A merciful and compassionate God, the wings of the Shechinah providing shelter and repose, and the binding of the souls of those who have died to Adonai, and by extension, to us, the living.

  • The Mary Hytken Dumont University @ASBEE Presents.. from the Liturgical Department
    The Mary Hytken Dumont University @ASBEE presents.. From the liturgical department... Prayer Unlocked Questions What is the meaning of Shema? Why is it important? How does it relate to the mitzvah to learn torah every day? How do we understand the blessings that surround it? How does it relate to the Amida? The Facts, an Outline Blessings before Shema Light/Darkness Love, choosing Israel, Torah Shema Oneness, Our G-d, Love Keep the mitzvot or else Tzitzit and Exodus Blessing after Shema: Redemption, Exodus The Shema: How central is it? Brachot 15b אָמַ ר ַר . ִָּי חָמְא בַּרִבֲּי חנִינָָא: כַּל הֵקּוֹרְא קִרְיאַת שַׁמְע וּמַדְקֵדְּק בִּאוֹתֶיּוֹתָיהְמַצנְּנִֵין לוֹ גִּיהנֶָּם, שׁנֱֶּאַמְר: ״בָּפֵרַשׂ שַׁדְּי מָלִכָים בַּהּ תְּשֵׁלְג בַּצְלִמוֹן״ — אַל תְּקֵרְי ״בָּפֵרֶשׂ״ אָלְּא ״בָּפֵרִשׁ״, אַל תְּקֵרְי ״בַּצְלֶמוֹן״ אָלְּא ״בַּצְלָמוֶת״ב On this same topic, Rabbi Ḥama, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, said: Anyone who recites Shema and is punctilious in enunciating its letters, Gehenna is cooled for him, as it is stated: “When the Almighty scatters [befares] kings over it, it will snow in Tzalmon” (Psalms 68:15). Do not read befares, When He scatters, but befaresh, When he enunciates. When one enunciates the name of God with precision, God will fulfill the verse: It will snow in Tzalmon, on his behalf. Do not read beTzalmon, in Tzalmon, but betzalmavet, in the shadow of death, a reference to Gehenna. As reward for enunciating God’s name precisely, God will cool Gehenna for him. Where does it say we must read it? And these words which I command you today should be on your heart and you should teach them to your children and speak of them… when you go to sleep and when you get up.

  • Siddur for Shabbat
    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.
