So says your God. 2 [You must speak] to the heart of Jerusalem and proclaim to her that ended [is her term of service], that pardoned is her guilt, that she has received [from the hand] of YHWH double for all her sins. 3 A voice calls out [in the wilderness]: “Open a way for YHWH. Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley will be raised, every mountain and hill made low, every cliff [will become level], and the ridges––a valley. 5 [Then will appear] the glory of YHWH. [They will see it], all flesh together, [Because indeed] the mouth of YHWH has spoken. 6 A voice commands: “Cry out!” The response: “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, [and all its beauty] like a flower of the field. 7 The grass withers, the flower fades, [because of the fact] that the breath of YHWH blows upon it. Surely, like grass is the people. 8 The grass withers , the flower fades. But the word of our God (Eloheinu) will stand forever.” 9 Upon [a high mountain] ascend, O herald of Zion, [lift up] with strength your voices, O messenger of Jerusalem. [Lift them up], [have no fear]. Say to the cities of Judah: “Behold your God!” 10 Behold, YHWH our God is coming in power, and His arm [wins triumph] for Him.

It happened that Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3 [He would go up]––the man Eli––from his city from year to year [to worship and] [offer sacrifice] to Adonai Ts’vaot in Shiloh. [And in that place]the two[sons of Eli], Chophni and Pinchas, were priests to Adonai. 4 [And it would be] [on the day] [that he made offerings]––Elkanah–– [that he gave]to Peninnah his wife,[to all her sons],[and to her daughters]––portions. 5 [But to Hannah] [he would give] one portion doubled, since his Hannah he loved, though Adonai had closed her womb. 6 [And she was taunted] by her rival continually, with the purpose of annoying her, because closed by Adonai was Hannah’s womb. 7 And so it was, year after year: when she (Peninnah) would go up to the house of the Lord, [she would not fail]to provoke her, so that she cried and did not eat.

The website and the email, which now links heavily to the website, is read by people all over the world.

  • “What If I Drop the Torah?”: Tensions and Resolutions in Accomplishing B’Nai Mitzvah Rituals
    “What if I Drop the Torah?”: Tensions and Resolutions in Accomplishing B’nai Mitzvah Rituals By Patricia Keer Munro A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ann Swidler, Chair Professor Claude Fischer Professor David Hollinger Spring 2014 Copyright © Patricia Keer Munro, 2014. All rights reserved. “What if I Drop the Torah?”: Tensions and Resolutions in Accomplishing B’nai Mitzvah Rituals By Patricia Keer Munro Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Ann Swidler, Chair Over the twentieth century, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the Jewish rite-of-passage that takes place at age thirteen (or twelve for girls in Orthodox communities), has reshaped and transformed the American synagogue, the nature of the Jewish life-cycle, the lives of individual American Jewish families, and the content and meaning of the event itself. In America, the ritual has become a central symbol of Jewish continuity both for individual Jews and for the Jewish community as a whole. Whether the student manages a flawless performance or struggles through with whispered help, the ritual works. Parents and grandparents are amazed and awed, friends and relatives are moved to tears, and the students stands a little taller and prouder. This happens with such regularity that it is common to trivialize or mock the event. In truth, it is risky to expect a (possibly recalcitrant) thirteen-year-old to publicly represent both the core values of Judaism and his family’s honor; it is sociologically remarkable that virtually all children achieve that goal.

  • 1 Teruma 5724. Alef. 1. A. the Wood Was Originally Planted by Yaakov In
    Teruma 5724. Alef. 1. a. The wood was originally planted by Yaakov in Egypt and brought out of Egypt when the people were freed from slavery. b.The wood grew near Mt. Sinai and was harvested when needed. c. The wood was purchased from peoples with whom the Jews traded. 2. The reason why RaShI explains a second time how Yaakov originally planted these trees in Egypt in anticipation of the eventual construction of the Mishkan is because of the “Heh Rather than simply making boards for the Mishkan, the people .”הקרשים“ ,HaYedia” in 26:15 made the boards, which had already been anticipated. It would appear that while other parts of the Mishkan were also constructed from this material, i.e., the Aron (25:10) and the Shulchan (25:23), the main reason for the growing of the wood and probably the purpose for which most of the wood was devoted, was the construction of the boards. 3. In the first commentary, the Peirush HaAroch,1 Ibn Ezra prefers the interpretation that the וכל אשר נמצא אתו עצי “ (trees were growing in the vicinity of Mt. Sinai. The phrase (35:24 refers to those who had harvested some of these locally ”שטים לכל מלאכת העבודה הביאו grown trees in order to construct shelters for themselves, were now being called upon to contribute that wood for the purpose of constructing the Mishkan. In the Peirush HaKatzar, Ibn Ezra, probably based upon the same phrase that he used to construct his first interpretation, now redefines his understanding to be similar to that of the Midrash and RaShI (he does not necessarily accept that this was all part of a plan that Yaakov had shared with his family; only that the Jews brought the wood from Egypt in anticipation of their own lodging needs), i.e., that these were brought from Egypt rather than harvested locally.
