Structure and Meaning in Lamentations Homer Heater, Jr. Professor of Bible Exposition Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, Texas Lamentations is perhaps the best example in the Bible of a com­ bination of divine inspiration and human artistic ability. The depth of pathos as the writer probed the suffering of Zion and his own suf­ fering is unprecedented. Each chapter is an entity in itself, a com­ plete poem.1 The most obvious literary device utilized by the poet is the acrostic; that is, poems are built around the letters of the alpha­ bet.

(period) NOTE: the above English keyboard letter for the Hebrew letters are for the standard Hebrew keyboard. There are Hebrew fonts floating around that are non-standard. The sofit letters sound the same as the normal letters, but are used when they are the last letter in a word. For Bible code purposes. the regular letter and final letter are fully equivalent. In other words, in the code, a nun sofit could appear in the middle of a valid term and the regular letter nun could be at the end of a word. (discussion of numbers on the next page) If the Hebrew letters only go to 400, how can you look for higher number in the Bible code, like the year 1998 (5758)? When you have numbers over 1000, you use the thousands letter as a digit. For example, 1561 would start out with “aleph” which is 1.

  • Torah from JTS Worship, JTS
    Exploring Prayer :(בלה תדובע) Service of the Heart This week’s column was written by Rabbi Samuel Barth, senior lecturer in Liturgy and Torah from JTS Worship, JTS. Simhat Torah: Which Way When the Circle Ends Bereishit 5774 The annual celebration of Simhat Torah brings great joy to so many of us of all generations, and it is a fitting and triumphant conclusion to the long and multifaceted season of intense Jewish observance and focus that began (a little before Rosh Hashanah) with Selichot. In Israel and in congregations observing a single day of festivals, Simhat Torah is blended with Shemini Atzeret, offering the intense experience in the morning of Hallel, Hakkafot (processions with dancing) and Geshem (the prayer for Rain). At the morning service of Simhat Torah there are four linked biblical readings (three from the Parashah Commentary Torah), and the relationship among them invites us to think about the flow of sacred text in a multidimensional context. The first reading is Vezot HaBrakha, the last chapters of Deuteronomy This week’s commentary was written by Dr. David Marcus, professor of Bible, containing the final blessings from Moses to the community—and the account of the death of Moses, alone with God on Mount Nebo. To receive the final aliyah after everyone else present JTS. has been called to the Torah is considered a great honor, and the person with this honor is called up with a special formula (a short version is presented in Siddur Sim Shalom for Shabbat Bereishit with a Capital Bet and Festivals, 215) that affirms, “May it be the will of the One Most Powerful to grant abundant blessings to [insert the name of the one called] who has been chosen to complete the Torah.” With this week’s parashah, we once again commence the cycle of reading the Torah from the first chapter of Genesis, which begins with the Hebrew word bereishit.

  • A Very Virtual Holiday
    A Very Virtual Holiday HOW TO PLAY DREIDEL A GAME PLAYED DURING THE JEWISH FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS, MEANING “TURN AROUND” MATERIALS NEEDED To play you’ll need a special top, called a dreidel, as well as several game pieces which can be poker chips, chocolate pieces, pennies or anything else you would like to use. Here is a link you can follow for how to make a dreidel at home using a sheet of paper and a pencil: https://youtu.be/TheEkZetsRI WHAT DO THE LETTERS ON THE DREIDEL STAND FOR? Each Hebrew letter on the dreidel stands for a word in the phrase “nes gadol haya sham,” meaning “a great miracle happened there.” This refers to the miracle of one day’s worth of oil lasting for eight days, which is why we celebrate Hanukkah today. If you find yourself playing dreidel in Israel you’ll notice that one letter is different, as “a great miracle happened here.” Below is a quick guide to each letter on the dreidel. Letter Name Dreidel Word Game Action Nun Nes Nothing happens “miracle” Gimmel Gadol Get everything in pot “great” Hey Haya Half of pot is yours (if odd number take ½+1) “happened” Shin Sham Shame! You must put 1 back into the pot. “there” HOW TO PLAY 1. To start the game, everyone gets 20 game pieces (feel free to change the amount depending on how long you want to play). 2. Each player puts 4 game pieces into the middle to create the pot. 3. Each player takes turns spinning the dreidel.

  • Rayut / Sacred Companionship: the Art of Being Human Rabbi Steven Kushner Rosh Hashanah Morning 5771
    Rayut / Sacred Companionship: the art of being human Rabbi Steven Kushner Rosh Hashanah Morning 5771 It’s a ‘‘sweet-sixteen’’ party. The grandmother, who personally related this story to me, notices that her 16-year-old granddaughter is sitting at a table, smart-phone in hand, busily typing away with her thumbs. ‘‘What are you doing?’’ the grandmother asks. ‘‘I’m texting my best friend,’’ the granddaughter replies. ‘‘Just a minute,’’ the grandmother objects. ‘‘Do you mean to tell me you didn’t invite your best friend to your sweet-sixteen party?’’ ‘‘Of course I did,’’ the granddaughter replies. ‘‘She’s sitting right over there.’’ Does this sound familiar? Do you have kids who now use their thumbs to talk, even when vocal communication is not merely possible but easier? That, of course, is the question. Does modern technology make communication easier------with cell phones, text messaging, twittering, emailing------or does it actually make it more complex? This dynamic, of impersonal electronic talking, should be alarming to us. Forget the fact that we’ve lost the ability to write longhand. (Kids, your parents will tell you what ‘‘longhand’’ means after the service.) Never mind that we’ve abandoned the beautiful art form of ‘‘correspondence’’. (My brother and I still have all the letters my parents wrote to each other during World War II.) No matter that we’ve forgotten what it’s like to have to wait to get to a gas station to call someone on the phone. The consequences of instant non-verbal communication may be, even in the short-term, devastating.

  • Psalm 119 & the Hebrew Aleph
    Psalm 119 & the Hebrew Aleph Bet - Part 14 The fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is called “Nun” (pronounced “noon”) and has the sound of “N” as in “now”. It has the numeric value of 50, the number of the Jubilee. There are two ways to write a Nun. A Nun appearing at the end of a word (sofit) looks like a Vav, but is longer, extending below the baseline. A regular Nun looks much like the Kaph, but is half its width. The Nun stands for FISH. In modern Hebrew, the letter Nun can appear in three forms: Writing the Letter: Nun – The Nun is half as wide as the Kaph Nun: Letter of Faithfulness Nun represents both faithfulness and the reward for faithfulness. Moses is seen as the iconic humble servant of Yahweh. The word “Nun” itself is spelled Nun-Vav-(final) Nun and looks as follows: The one who is humble before God will stand upright in the final Day. In the olam hazeh (present life), this means that the tzaddik (righteous man) will simultaneously affirm: “I am nothing but dust.” Humble yourself in the sight of Yahweh, and He shall lift you up (James 4:10). Nun Study Page 1 Spiritual Meaning of the Nun Nun = 50 and means “FISH” of Yahweh or “The SAVED”. Our Messiah could be called “The Chief FISHERMAN.” He told His disciples that He would make them “FISHERS of men”, (Mark 1:17). Like a FLOURISHING, darting school of FISH that continues to propagate, our Saviour’s Love causes us to multiply and grow in numbers as we share Him with others.

  • Psalms 119 & the Hebrew Aleph
    Psalms 119 & the Hebrew Aleph Bet - Part 17 The seventeenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is called “Pey” (sounds like “pay”). It has the sound of “p” as in “park”. Pey has the numeric value of 80. In modern Hebrew, the letter Pey can appear in three forms: Writing the Letter: Pey Note: Most people draw the Pey in two strokes, as shown. The dot, or “dagesh” mark means the pey makes the “p” sound, as in “park”. Note: The sole difference between the letter Pey and the letter Fey is the presence or absence of the dot in the middle of the letter (called a dagesh mark). When you see the dot in the middle of this letter, pronounce it as a "p"; otherwise, pronounce it as "ph" (or “f”). Five Hebrew letters are formed differently when they appear as the last letter of a word (these forms are sometimes called "sofit" (pronounced "so-feet") forms). Fortunately, the five letters sound the same as their non-sofit cousins, so you do not have to learn any new sounds (or transliterations). The Pey (pronounced “Fey” sofit has a descending tail, as shown on the left. Pey: The Mouth, or Word The pictograph for Pey looks something like a mouth, whereas the classical Hebrew script (Ketav Ashurit) is constructed of a Kaf with an ascending Yod: Notice the “hidden Bet” within the letter Pey. This shape of the letter is required when a Torah scribe writes Torah scrolls, or mezzuzahs. From the Canaanite pictograph, the letter morphed into the Phoenician ketav Ivri, to the Greek letter (Pi), which became the Latin letter “P.” means “mouth” and by extension, “word,” “expression,” “vocalization,” and “speech”.

  • The Sign of the Cross
    The Sign of the Cross ἰχθύς – fish – acrostic: Ίησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior) From early EPhesus: From the catacomb os St. Sebastian (martyed c 288): Hebrew tav: Cursive (scriPt) Hebrew: For Jews, who may not say or write God’s name, the letter taw was used as a rePresentation of God’s name. It’s the last letter in the Hebrew alPhabet and synbolizes the end, comPletion, and Perfection. Note the similarity to the Greek letter chi (first letter in the Greek Christ (Χριστός) Some early icons (note the mark of the cross on the forehead): 1 A “mark” is sometimes a negative thing in the Old Testament. Cain is “marked” (see Genesis 4:15) “So the LORD Put a mark on Cain, so that no one would kill him at sight.” A sore on the forehead could mark a Person as unclean. See Leviticus ChaPter 14. Note our discussion on Ezekiel. In the New Testament: Revelation 14:1: Then I looked and there was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. Revelation 22:4 - They will look upon his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. St. Cyril of Jerusalem (fourth century) “Let us then not be ashamed to confess to Crucified. Let the cross as a seal, be boldly made with our fingers uPon our brow and on all occasions; over the bread we eat, over the cuPs and drink, in our comings and goings, before sleeP, on lying down and rising uP, when we are on our way and when we are still.
