Dear Friend, With great pleasure we present this beautiful Jewish Art Calendar for the year 2018/2019 – 5779 our gift to you for the New Year. Mark & Sharon Abelman Pamela Martello A calendar is not merely a tool to keep us on track. Jewish tradition teaches that a Nathan & Myra Abromson Joseph & Sondra Mendlowitz calendar is much more than that. When our ancestors in Egypt had just begun to Tony & Sharon Battle Gilah & Michael Moritz taste the flavor of freedom, G-d gave them the first commandments, the first cables Marvin Birner Richard Myerowitz that connect us to Him. The very first Mitzvah was the instruction to sanctify time Tammy Blumenfeld, ILMO Neil Stuart & Ettie Oppenheimer itself by establishing the Jewish monthly cycle.

Alternative selections are offered each shabbat: a shorter reading (around twenty verses) and a longer one (around thirty verses). The readings are a guide and congregations may choose to read more or less from within that part of the parashah. On certain special shabbatot, a special second (or exceptionally, third) scroll reading is read in addition to the week’s portion. Haftarah readings are chosen to parallel key elements in the section of the Torah being read and therefore vary from one year in the triennial cycle to the next. Some of the suggested haftarot are from taken from k’tuvim (Writings) rather than n’vi’ivm (Prophets). When this is the case the appropriate, adapted blessings can be found on page 245 of the MRJ siddur, Seder Ha-t’fillot. This calendar follows the Biblical definition of the length of festivals.

  • Divine Image
    Divine Image Divine Image View All Divine Image Book Insights into the Noahide Laws Through the light of Torah and Chabad philosophy Adapted by Rabbi Yakov Dovid Cohen Copyright © 2006 by Rabbi Yakov Dovid Cohen All Rights Reserved ISBN 1-4243-1000-8 978-1-4243-1000-5 Published by The Institute of Noahide Code www.Noahide.org Printed in the United States of America In English En Español En français En français En français 한국어 中文 اﻟﺬات اﻹﻟﻬﻴﺔ INTRODUCTION Every person is created with a Divine image. It is the task of every one of us to elevate all human activity to a Divine purpose. In short, this means being able to connect every human activity with G-d – and this is precisely the purpose of the Torah and its commandments, called mitzvoth in Hebrew. Every human being has the unique ability to connect his entire being with the Creator. Upon achieving this task, he creates a dwelling place for G-d in this world, thereby fulfilling the purpose of creation. As is explained in this book, the worlds of the spiritual and the physical are not in conflict. Their ultimate purpose is that they be fused together with the physical being permeated by the spiritual. The core element of every mitzvah – commandment performance is to take the physical creation and utilize it for a Divine purpose. Thereby a wonderful harmony achieving both in the individual and in the world at large. This is a theme that encompasses all times and places; wherever and whenever a person operates, he is able to utilize the task at hand for its correct and Divine purpose, thus transforming one’s daily life activities into a dwelling place for G-d.
