New Sunday Morning Learning Program A new learning program has begun on Sunday mornings, 9-11 am in the Beis Medrash. We will have chavrusa learning followed by a short shiur. For more information contact Avram Cahn 212-923-4914, 917-340-1224, [email protected]. See flyer. Please note, this year’s Simchas Beis Hashoeva will take place on Monday evening Chol Hamoed in the non-catered Sukkah, beginning at 8:30 pm. There will be a few tables available for those who plan a late supper. As in previous years, the bochrim of our Beis Medrash will be joining us on Shabbos Shuva for the Rav's sermon and Mussaf. Because the Shul's supply of Talleisim for guests is not sufficient to provide one for each of the 90 or so bochrim who don't have their own, we are again asking our members who have extra Talleisim to bring them to Shul for Shabbos Shuva and make them available to the Welcoming Committee to lend to the bochrim. In order to assure that the lender receive back his extra Tallis, please provide it with a Tallis bag that has your name or which you can otherwise identify.

  • Everything You Need to Know About Shabbat Services
    Everything You Need to Know About Shabbat Services By: Jane E. Herman, Union for Reform Judaism Introduction Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath, is a weekly holiday that celebrates creation and offers a respite from the hectic pace of the rest of the week. Shabbat begins at sundown on Friday and ends with Havdalah—a short ceremony that separates Shabbat from the rest of the week—on Saturday evening. Many Jewish communities hold Shabbat services on both Friday night and Saturday morning (and sometimes also on Friday afternoon and on Saturday afternoon and evening). Each congregation is autonomous, although many are linked by their denominational affiliation. Reform congregations in North America are members of the Union for Reform Judaism. Although each Shabbat worship service differs from the others (and every congregation does things its own way), there are some Shabbat customs, traditions, and practices observed in one form or another in synagogues and Jewish communities throughout the world. Whether you attend services on Friday night or Saturday morning (or both), rarely, sometimes or often, these are some of the things you may see or hear in and around the synagogue (also known as a temple or a shul, which is a Yiddish word and often is used interchangeable with the other two). Outside the Building Although some congregations request the presence of local police officers or employ private security personal as a precaution at the door, anyone—regardless of belief or religion is welcome at worship services. Some congregations have outdoor worship space, where services may be held when the weather is warm.

  • Torah Binders
    WOMEN’S LEAGUE FOR CONSERVATIVE JUDAISM International Day of Study Leader’s Guide: Torah Binders HISTORY Jerusalem scribes probably began to inscribe the Torah as a scroll of parchment during the first century C.E. The early scrolls were generally wrapped around a single stave, but by the 4th century, the Torah scrolls had become large enough to require two staves to support their bulk. (The stave is called an etz hayim.) The size of the scroll made it necessary to use a binder to hold the rolled scroll together while being moved. The binder also served as a girdle to keep the Torah from unrolling or tearing.1 In the Diaspora, the Torah binders of the Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews developed distinctive characteristics. The Ashkenazi Wimpel The first instance of a recorded observation of the use of a fabric binder for the rolled Torah is found in a German text from 1530 entitled, Der Gantze Judische Glaube (The Entire Jewish Faith) written by Antonius Margaritha, son of Rabbi Jacob Margolot of Regensburg, Germany. Margaritha identifies these binders as mappen (mappot) for synagogues. He writes: “They are very beautiful and some are embroidered with the name of the child, when he was born and circumcised.”2 Joseph Yuspa Hahn of Frankfurt (1570-1637) in writing about the Torah binder (mitpakhat) called it a “wimpel.” The wimpel was generally made from the swaddling cloth of the male child on which he had rested during his brit milah (ritual circumcision). After the brit milah, the cloth of linen was washed and pieced to create a continuous band.

  • The Image and the Idea Syllabus (PDF)
    THE IMAGE AND THE IDEA An Interdisciplinary Seminar on Art History and Jewish Thought ARTS 5074 C / Fall 2020 Stern College for Women / Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought Rabbi Meir Soloveichik and Professor Jacob Wisse Professor Rabbi Meir Soloveichik E-mail: [email protected] Professor Jacob Wisse E-mail [email protected] Course Abstract As beings rooted in a physical world governed by laws of nature, we achieve sanctity through tangible and sensory means: acts of charity, song, prayer, text study – and art. At the same time, the Tanakh and Talmud express persistent concern lest we give in to the human temptation to render the Divine in finite form. This interdisciplinary course explores the process through which art and artists make use of physical means to achieve spiritual or intangible ends; and the ways Judaism and Jewish sources deal with the tension between the physical and the spiritual, between external act and internal meaning, between the visual and the intellectual, the image and the idea. Course Structure In each section of the course, we will pair images, paintings, sculptures and architecture with readings from art history, philosophy and Jewish thought. We will begin by addressing the question of art in religion in general and in Judaism in particular; we will then turn to specific traditions, and utilizing both essays and objects within local museum collections, including Yeshiva University Museum, explore the tension and complex relationship between beauty and spirituality, between appreciating extraordinary aesthetic quality and fulfilling religious ideals. We will also hear from visiting scholars, rabbis, artists, art historians and curators, who will address the subject under discussion at different stages in the course.
