A boy cantor in the Ukraine, he emigrated with his family to the U.S. in 1907, enrolled at the Institute for Musical Art (now The Juilliard School) in 1914, and studied with Ernest Bloch after graduation. Secunda excelled in sacred music, classical music, and other genres, but achieved his fame as the composer of more than eighty operettas, melodramas, and musical shows for the Yiddish stage. He wrote the melody for “Bay mir bistu sheyn,” and for “Dos Kelbl - The Calf,” the song commonly known as “Donna Donna.” In addition, Secunda was a prolific composer of liturgical music, and collaborated in many services, concerts and recordings with the great operatic tenor and cantor, Richard Tucker. 4 PRAYER for OUR COUNTRY Our God and God of our ancestors, אלוהינו ואלוהי אבותנו ואמותינו. ברך את ארצנו ואת כל .bless this country and all who dwell within it היושבות והיושבים בה Help us to experience the blessings יחד לבבנו להודות לך על חיינו ועל הזמן הזה ,of our lives and circumstances To be vigilant, compassionate, and brave. להיות דרוכות, אמיצים, ומלאי חמלה. ,Strengthen us when we are afraid חזקנו וחזק ידנו כאשר אנו אחוזים בפחד ,Help us to channel our anger סייע בידינו לנתב את כעסנו לידי מעשה .So that it motivates us to action חזק לבבנו לחוש את מלוא הפחד שלנו ,Help us to feel our fear So that we do not become numb. כדי שלא נהפוך לאדישות Help us to be generous with others, סייע לנו להשפיע נדיבות על אחרים כדי שנרים זה את זו . .So that we raise each other up סייע לנו להיות צנועות בפחד, כדי שנדע כי גם כשאנו מרגישים ,Help us to be humble in our fear פגיעות, יש אחרות, הנמצאות בסיכון גבוה אף יותר, זוהי חובתנו ,knowing that as vulnerable as we feel הקדושה להיות עמן. there are those at greater risk, and that it is our holy work to stand with them. ברכנו בטעם המתוק של החופש ,Help us to taste the sweetness of liberty כדי שנשכיל להעריך את החופש לו זכינו בדורות קודמים ובעת הזו To not take for granted the freedoms won לרפא ולחזק את הדמוקרטיה שלנו שתהיה כְּעֵץ שׁ�תוּל עַל-מַי�ם, .in generations past or in recent days ו�עַל-יוּבַל י�שׁ�לַּח שׁ��שׁ�יו, ו�א י��אֶה כִּי-י�בֹא חֹם, ו�הָי�ה עָלֵהוּ �עֲנָן; ,To heal and nourish our democracy that it may be like a tree planted by the water (ירמיהו יז, ח) ;whose roots reach down to the stream it need not fear drought when it comes, its leaves are always green (Jeremiah 17:8). שכינה, אם כל חי, ,Source of all Life שלחי אורך ואמתך למנהיגנו ,Guide our leaders with righteousness חזקי לבבותיהם שלא יתקשו ,Strengthen their hearts but keep them from hardening. שישתמשו בכוחן כדי לדבר אמת ולפעול בצדק (ישעיהו טז, ג-ה) That they may use their influence and authority to מי יתן וכל יושבי הארץ יחלקו בעושרה, ישגשגו בחופש שתציע, .(speak truth and act for justice (Isaiah 16:3-5 ויהיו מוגנים בחוקיה May all who dwell in this country מי יתן ואומה זו תשתמש בכוחה ובעושרה על מנת לקדם צדק, ,share in its bounty, enjoy its freedoms and be protected by its laws. חופש ושלום לכל יושבי תבל May this nation use its power and wealth מי יתן ונהיה חזקות ואמיצים ,to be a voice for justice מי יתן ונהיה נועזים במעשי ידנו ועמוקות בחמלה שבלבנו .peace, and equality for all who dwell on earth שנבחין מתי עלינו להקשיב ומתי עלינו לפעול May we be strong and have courage To be bold in our action and deep in our compassion, לעקור שנאה, גזענות, שוביניזם, אפליה, אלימות בכל צורה, ,To discern when we must listen and when we must act To uproot bigotry, intolerance, misogyny, racism, לחגוג את צלם אלוהים בפנים שונות המשתקפות בכל המגוון ,discrimination, and violence in all its forms האנושי To celebrate the many faces of God reflected in the wondrous diversity of humanity, לקבל את הזר ואת המהגרת, ולכבד את המתנות שמביא כל מי To welcome the stranger and the immigrant שמבקשת מקלט והזדמנות בארץ זו, כפי שהיה מאז לפני שאומה זו and to honor the gifts of those who seek refuge נולדה and possibility here, as they have since ו�י�גַּל כַּמַּי�ם, מִשׁ�פָּט; וּצְדָקָה, כְּנַחַל אֵיתָן .before this nation was born Let justice well up like waters, and righteousness ) עמוס ה כד) (like a mighty stream (Amos 5:24 © Rabbi Ayelet Cohen Hebrew by Rabbi Noa Sattath 5 Refuah Shlemah – Healing Prayers Alton Bader Jeany Heller Rose Wahnon Falak Bahlawan Josephine Kleinbaum Gabriel Weingarten Nechama bat Seema Sue Rosansky Elise Fischer Hannah Siegel If you or a CBST member you know is ill and would like support, contact [email protected].

  • Jewish Subcultures Online: Outreach, Dating, and Marginalized Communities ______
    JEWISH SUBCULTURES ONLINE: OUTREACH, DATING, AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in American Studies ____________________________________ By Rachel Sara Schiff Thesis Committee Approval: Professor Leila Zenderland, Chair Professor Terri Snyder, Department of American Studies Professor Carrie Lane, Department of American Studies Spring, 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis explores how Jewish individuals use and create communities online to enrich their Jewish identity. The Internet provides Jews who do not fit within their brick and mortar communities an outlet that gives them voice, power, and sometimes anonymity. They use these websites to balance their Jewish identities and other personal identities that may or may not fit within their local Jewish community. This research was conducted through analyzing a broad range of websites. The first chapter, the introduction, describes the Jewish American population as a whole as well as the history of the Internet. The second chapter, entitled “The Black Hats of the Internet,” discusses how the Orthodox community has used the Internet to create a modern approach to outreach. It focuses in particular on the extensive web materials created by Chabad and Aish Hatorah, which offer surprisingly modern twists on traditional texts. The third chapter is about Jewish online dating. It uses JDate and other secular websites to analyze how Jewish singles are using the Internet. This chapter also suggests that the use of the Internet may have an impact on reducing interfaith marriage. The fourth chapter examines marginalized communities, focusing on the following: Jewrotica; the Jewish LGBT community including those who are “OLGBT” (Orthodox LGBT); Punk Jews; and feminist Jews.

Prior to this study, it was thus unclear if the findings of existing research on marital competence applied to OJ children of divorce.

  • Position Paper on Forced Marriage Analysis of Arranged Marriage As Practiced in Jewish Communities
    8th February 2021 Position Paper on Forced Marriage Analysis of Arranged Marriage as Practiced in Jewish Communities Forward The shidduch system of arranged marriage as practised in the Charedi (also known as Ultra-Orthodox) part of the Jewish community has worked for many people in a range of Charedi communities. It has brought joy, satisfaction and belonging to many Jewish couples and enriched their lives. This paper is written for people using the shidduch system of arranged marriage. This paper is also written for the Jewish community, including Jewish community organisations, and as well as those working in the wider VAWG sector. We seek to explain our concerns with some aspects of the shidduch system, and to demonstrate that elements of the shidduch system can create social pressure and coercion to marry, inhibiting a person’s capacity to consent to a marriage. We call on various agencies of the UK Government and other organisations to implement our recommendations. We explore how social pressures can fit with the term “Forced Marriage” as defined in UK legislation. We write as observant Jews, and we have undertaken this work to reduce the harms inflicted on individuals in our community. We are confident that our community has the confidence to consider our recommendations with nuanced reflection. Dozens of people have given freely of their time to help with the shaping and editing of this paper. Rabbis, academics, VAWG sector professionals, specialists in education, legal scholars, and advocates. We thank you all. We are indebted to those who have trusted us with their stories, without which this paper would have no soul.

Tradition teaches that this “service” is prayer. It is written, serving Him with all you heart and soul (Deut. 2:13), about which the Sages said, “What is service of the heart? Prayer.” The number of prayers is not fixed in the Torah, nor is their format, and neither the Torah prescribes a fixed time for prayer. Women and slaves are therefore obligated to pray, since it is a positive commandment without a fixed time. Rather, this commandment obligates each person to pray, supplicate, and praise the Holy One, blessed be He, to the best of his ability every day; to then request and plead for what he needs; and after that praise and thank God for all the He has showered on him.1” According to Maimonides, both men and women are obligated in the Mitsva of prayer.

  • NISSAN Rosh Chodesh Is on Sunday
    84 NISSAN The Molad: Friday afternoon, 4:36. The moon may be sanctified until Shabbos, the 15th, 10:58 a.m.1 The spring equinox: Friday, the 7th, 12:00 a.m. Rosh Chodesh is on Shabbos Parshas Tazria, Parshas HaChodesh. The laws regarding Shabbos Rosh Chodesh are explained in the section on Shabbos Parshas Mikeitz. In the Morning Service, we recite half-Hallel, then a full Kaddish, the Song of the Day, Barchi nafshi, and then the Mourner’s Kaddish. Three Torah scrolls are taken out. Six men are given aliyos for the weekly reading from the first scroll. A seventh aliyah is read from the second scroll, from which we read the passages describing the Shabbos and Rosh Chodesh Mussaf offerings (Bamidbar 28:9-15), and a half-Kaddish is recited. The Maftir, a passage from Parshas Bo (Sh’mos 12:1-20) which describes the command to bring the Paschal sacrifice, is read from the third scroll. The Haftorah is Koh amar... olas tamid (Y’chezkel 45:18-46:15), and we then add the first and last verses of the Haftorah Koh amar Hashem hashomayim kis’ee (Y’shayahu 66:1, 23- 24, and 23 again). Throughout the entire month of Nissan, we do not recite Tachanun, Av harachamim, or Tzidkas’cha. The only persons who may fast during this month are ones who had a disturbing dream, a groom and bride on the day of their wedding, and the firstborn on the day preceding Pesach. For the first twelve days of the month, we follow the custom of reciting the Torah passages describing the sacrifices which the Nesi’im (tribal leaders) offered on these dates at the time the Sanctuary was dedicated in the desert.

  • Putting the Silent Partner Back Into Partnership Minyanim Rabbi Dr
    Putting the Silent Partner Back Into Partnership Minyanim Rabbi Dr. Barry Freundel Introduction Over the last few years a new phenomenon has appeared on the Jewish scene. This phenomenon referred to as “Partnership Minyanim”, claims to be Orthodox and/or halakhic, and to offer increased opportunities for women to participate in services.1 Specifically, women are allowed to serve as prayer leader (in some venues a woman is always asked to lead) for Kabbalat Shabbat—but not for Maariv on Friday night. On Shabbat morning a women may serve as Hazan(it)for Pesukei Dezmira but not for Shaharit and Musaf. So too, a girl may be asked to conclude the Shabbat morning services beginning with Ein Kelokeinu. Finally, women are given aliyot and read Torah at these services (in some places this is allowed only after the third aliyah).2 There are some of these groups that follow somewhat different structures.3 The title of this article reflects a fundamental concern about how this new development has come to the community. Partnership Minyanim exist in many areas; Jerusalem, New York, Washington, DC, Boston, Chicago and elsewhere.4 Yet there has, to the best of my 1 For a description and definition see the homepage of Congregation Kol Sason online at http://www.kolsasson.org/index.html and http://www.jofa.org/Resources/Partnership_Minyanim/ for The Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance (JOFA) description of these services. 2 This is based on Responsa R. Meir of Rothenberg (1215-1293) 4:108, a source that in my opinion does not apply to the question of women regularly receiving aliyot in a mixed setting, today.
