  • Yom Kippur Chavurah Service September 23, 2015 Written by Abigail Backer
    Yom Kippur Chavurah Service September 23, 2015 Written by Abigail Backer Characters: Truth - Marci Justice - Bekki Peace - Kathy Judge/Rabbi - Rabbi London Narrator/Counsel - Abby Musician/Juke Box - Cantor Friedman Setting: This skit is written to be a ‘trial’ of sorts. Truth, justice, and peace are the ‘defendants’ and there is a judge/rabbi. The trial is mediated by a narrator/counsel who provides context and asks questions to each of the defendants. Rabbi London will sit in chair next to white table. Truth, justice and peace will stand off to the side. Counsel will enter via the ramp. Materials/Props: Gavel Costumes Signs that say “Truth” “Justice” and “Peace” in Hebrew/English ******************************************************************************************************** Musician/Juke Box: All rise for the Honorable Judge Rabbi Andrea London (plays interlude) Judge/Rabbi: Order! I call this Beit Din, this Rabbinic Court, to order!! Today we will be hearing the case of the Jewish People versus Truth, Justice, and Peace. Counsel, please approach the bench and present the defendants and the facts of the case. We don’t have all day! Narrator/Counsel: (enters hurriedly on ramp) Yes, your Honor. Thank you, your Honor. The premise of this case is simple: Rabban Shimon Ben Gamliel said, “The world is sustained by three things, by justice, by truth, and by peace. As it has been stated: Speak every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates. (Zechariah 8:16) Your Honor, we live in a litigious society that requires greater distinctions and hierarchy than ever before. The Jewish people are bringing truth, justice and peace before the court to determine which among them is the most essential, the most valuable, the most pure.

    884653.indd4653.indd 1 3-1177-0088 4 4:03:30:03:30 P PMM Letter from the Chairs Dear Friends, Welcome to Imagining a More Civil Society: The Summit on the University and the Jewish Community. One year ago a steering committee convened at Hillel’s Kraft Center for Jewish Student Life at Columbia University to begin planning this unique event. We set out not just to catalogue the many positive trends in civil discourse and civic engagement on campus, but to imagine what could be. With the generous support of the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust, this remarkable group of people – leaders of the academy and the Jewish community – developed a program that enables participants to refl ect on who we are and the ideas of others, to discuss and learn from others in an effort to share and integrate our truths, and to act to create greater opportunities for others. As we imagine a more civil society, we will focus deeply on discourse itself and also on activi- ties that foster safe dialogue and productive contributions to society. We will delve into the challenges of creating community, often raising questions without defi nitive solutions. We will demonstrate what we hope to lead on campus: respectful, authentic conversations in which we hold multiple truths simultaneously, listening carefully while articulating our own thoughts and opening ourselves to letting go and learning anew. We will bring back to campus fresh ideas on discourse and civic engagement. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hillel International Board of Governors Chairman Edgar M.

  • The Rosh Chodesh Planner Was Designed to Serve As a Resource for Shluchos When Planning Women's Programs. Many Years Ago, When
    בס"ד PREFACE The Rosh Chodesh Planner was designed to serve as a resource for shluchos when planning women’s programs. Many years ago, when one of the first shluchim arrived in Pittsburgh, PA, prepared to combat the assimilation of America through hafotzas hamayonos, one of the directives of the Rebbe to the shlucha was that it did not suffice for her to only become involved in her husband’s endeavors, but that she should become involved in her own areas of activities as well. Throughout the years of his nesiyus, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Nesi Dorenu, appreciated and valued the influential role the woman plays as the akeres habayis. This is evident in the many sichos which the Rebbe dedicated specifically to Jewish women and girls worldwide. Involved women are catalysts for involved families and involved communities. Shluchos, therefore, have always dedicated themselves towards reaching a broad spectrum of Jewish women from many affiliations, professions and interests. Programs become educational vehicles, provide networking and outreach opportunities for the participants, and draw them closer in their unified quest for a better and more meaningful tomorrow. Many shluchos have incorporated a schedule of gathering on a monthly basis. Brochures are mailed out at the onset of the year containing the year’s schedule at a glance. Any major event(s) are incorporated as well. This system offers the community an organized and well-planned view of the year’s events. It lets them know what to expect and gives them the ability to plan ahead. In the z’chus of all the positive accomplishments that have been and are continuously generated from women’s programs, may we be worthy of the immediate and complete Geulah.

    Resolution to Form UNITY (Unaffiliated Independent Temple Youth) In NFTY Chicago Area Region Submitted to the NFTY CAR Regional Board Winter Kallah 5777 December 17th, 2016 Background: The North American Federation of Temple Youth, or NFTY, founded in 1939, ​ currently has nineteen regions formed by over 800 TYGs, or Temple Youth Groups. ● In 1939 NFTY was founded as part of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC), now the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ). ● In the past, TYG’s have been groups of teens from a synagogue and NFTY has served as the regional conglomerate of these entities. ● During an asefah, or plenary meeting, or during regional events, members of TYG’s vote on legislation and elect regional board members as a voting block allocated a certain number of votes based on representation. ● In recent years, as NFTY has expanded to include all Jewish youth who want a Reform Jewish experience, there has been an increase in the number of unaffiliated youth who do not receives these voting options and all privileges that may result from representation, because their families do not formally affiliate with a youth group or reform synagogue for a multitude of rationales. WHEREAS, The Preamble of the NFTY-CAR Constitution outlines the principles of the North ​ American Federation of Temple Youth; and WHEREAS, The Preamble of the NFTY-CAR Constitution states that one of these purposes is ​ “the need for k’hilah as a binding force for all Jews”; and ​ ​ WHEREAS, Article 2 of the NFTY-CAR Constitution outlines the purposes of this

  • Exodus 13:1-20 Chavurah Shalom Sat 10/29/16 When We Come to The
    Exodus 13:1-20 Chavurah Shalom Sat 10/29/16 When we come to the Sanctification of the Firstborn, we are reminded that in keep- ing the Torah, Yeshua's family performed this rite along with the Brit Milah at the appointed times, Luke 2:21-24. We are very carefully and precisely told of the keeping of the very first of the mitzvot concerning a mother giving birth to a male child, including the circumcision of the child at 8 days, the purification rites for a woman who gave birth to a male child, and the redemption of the firstborn son. You will also note the naming of the child at the Brit Milah, in keeping with the modern Jewish practice, as revealed in the Siddur, (The Complete Artscroll Siddur, Sephard Edition), p. 225-229. Genesis 17:11-12; 21:4; Leviticus 12:3; compare Luke 1:57-59. We are told that the naming of sons at the time of circumcision is not attested in Jewish sources until the post-Talmudic period (eighth centu- ry)....The note "to present him" likely refers to the pidyon ha-ben, the redemp- tion of the firstborn (Exodus 13:2, 12, 15; Numbers 18:15-16; Nehemiah 10:35-36); no law prescribes this presentation; presenting children at the Temple is not a recognized custom.--The Jewish Annotated New Testament, p. 100, 102. Our text for this morning begins with the firstborn, then turns aside to the Matzot and the Tefillin, then returns to the firstborn before summing things up to end our parashah.
