Tachnun (supplication) and similar prayers are omitted. We begin anew the yearly cycle of the daily study of ​ ​ the Tanya, Rabbi Schneur Zalman's major Chassidic work (as part of the ​ "Chitas" daily study program.) ​ ● In Chabad practice, the mournful paragraphs of Av Harachamim (p. 232) and Tzidkatecha Tzedek (266)are omitted from the morning and afternoon prayers respectively. ● Prayer for Rain Tonight, starting with the Maariv evening prayers, we begin inserting a request for rain -- "v'ten tal u'matar" -- in the 9th blessing of the Amidah (p. 126. In the Holy Land, the request for rain is inserted beginning on Cheshvan 7) ​ ● Shabbat Ends at 5:33 PM ​ ● Havdalah on p. 297 ​ ● Today in Jewish History ● Passing of Maggid (1772) Rabbi DovBer, known as "The Maggid of Mezeritch", was the disciple of, ​ and successor to, the founder of Chassidism, Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov. ​ ​ Rabbi DovBer led the Chassidic movement from 1761 until his passing on Kislev 19, 1772. ● Liberation of R. Schneur Zalman of Liadi (1798) On the 19th of Kislev of the year 5559 from creation (1798), Rabbi Schneur ​ ​ ​ Zalman of Liadi -- a leading disciple of Rabbi DovBer of Mezeritch (see ​ previous entry) and the founder of Chabad Chassidism -- was released from his imprisonment in the Peter-Paul fortress in Petersburg, where he was held for 53 days on charges that his teachings threatened the imperial authority of the Czar. More than a personal liberation, this was a watershed event in the history of Chassidism heralding a new era in the revelation of the "inner soul" of Torah, and is celebrated to this day as "The Rosh Hashanah of Chassidism." ● Rebbetzin Menuchah Rachel born (1798) On the very day that Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi was liberated from prison (see above), a granddaughter was born to him -- the daugher of his son Rabbi Dovber and his wife Rebbetzin Sheina. The girl was named ​ ​ Menuchah Rachel -- "Menuchah", meaning "tranquility" (Rachel was the name of a daughter of Rabbi Schneur Zalman who died in her youth). In 1845, Rebbetzin Menuchah Rachel realized her lifelong desire to live in the Holy Land when she and her husband, Rabbi Yaakov Culi Slonim (d. 1857), led a contingent of Chassidim who settled in Hebron. Famed for her ​ ​ wisdom, piety and erudition, she served as the matriarch of the Chassidic community in Hebron until her passing in her 90th year in 1888. Sunday, 20 Kislev ● "Rosh Hashanah of Chassidism" The Rosh Hashanah ("new year") of Chassidism, marking the liberation of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi and the subsequent blossoming of Chabad ​ Chassidism, is celebrated for two days, Kislev 19-20. (The Rebbe was released from prison on the 19th, but his full freedom was only obtained late in the evening -- Kislev 20 on the Jewish Calendar.) The two days are celebrated with farbrengens (Chassidic gatherings) and an increased ​ ​ commitment to the ways and teachings of Chassidism. Tachnun (supplication) and similar prayers are omitted. For more information and links, see entries for yesterday Kislev 19. ​ ​ ● Chabad custom: Omit Tachanun In Chabad practice, Tachanun (confession of sins) and similar prayers are ​ ​ omitted today. ● Today in Jewish History ● Tanya Published (1796) The first printing of the "bible of Chassidism", the Tanya, the magnum opus of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of Chabad. Monday, 21 Kislev ● Today in Jewish History Alexander in Jerusalem (313 BCE) On Kislev 21 of the year 3448 from creation (313 BCE), there occurred the historic meeting between Shimon HaTzaddik and Alexander ('the Great") of ​ Macedonia. The Samarians, bitter enemies of the Jews, had convinced Alexander that the Jews' refusal to place his image in their Temple was a sign of rebellion against his sovereignty, and that the Holy Temple should be destroyed. The Kohen Gadol ("High Priest") at the time was Shimon HaTzaddik, the last of the "Men of the Great Assembly" who rebuilt the Holy Temple and revitalized Judaism under Ezra. On the 21st of Kislev Alexander marched on ​ ​ Jerusalem at the head of his army; Shimon, garbed in the vestments of the High Priest and accompanied with a delegation of Jewish dignitaries, went forth to greet him. The two groups walked towards each other all night; at the crack of dawn they met. As Alexander beheld the visage of the High Priest, he dismounted his horse and bowed respectfully; to his men he explained that he often had visions of a similar-looking man leading him into battle. Shimon HaTzaddik brought the emperor to the Holy Temple and explained that Judaism prohibits the display of any graven image; he offered to name all the male children born to priests that year "Alexander" as a demonstration of loyalty to the emperor (which is how "Alexander" became a common Jewish name). The Samarians plot was rebuffed, and Kislev 21 was declared a holiday. (Talmud Yoma 69a) According to an alternative version, this episode occurred on the 25th of Tevet. ● Satmar Rebbe Rescued (1944) The Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum (1887-1979), was rescued from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, along with 1,368 other Jews, through the efforts of Rudulf Kastner, head of the Zionist rescue operation in Hungary (an earlier transport of 1,686 Jews had been rescued on Av 29). The Satmar community celebrates the 21st of Kislev as a day of thanksgiving. Thursday, 24 Kislev - 1st night of Chanukah ● Kindle One Chanukah Light tonight after 4:51 PM ​ The eight-day festival of Chanukah begins tonight. In commemoration of ​ ​ the miracle of the oil (see "Today in Jewish History" for tomorrow) we kindle the Chanukah lights -- oil lamps or candles -- each evening for eight days, increasing the number of lights each evening. Tonight, the first night of Chanukah, we kindle one light. (In the Jewish calendar, the day begins at nightfall; this evening, then, commences the 1st day of Chanukah). ● On the 1st night of Chanukah, we recite three blessings before lighting. ● The lights—which ideally should be kindled soon after sunset—must burn for at least half an hour after nightfall. Learn more about the proper lighting ​ time. ​ Text and Audio of the Menorah Blessings How to Light the Menorah ● Hallel & Al HaNissim Special prayers of thanksgiving -- Hallel (p. 307-311, in its full version) and V'Al HaNissim -- are added to the daily prayers (Mariv - p. 129, Shacharit - p. ​ 51, Mincha p. 109) and Grace After Meals (p. 90) on all eight days of ​ ​ Chanukah. Tachnun (confession of sins) and similar prayers are omitted for the duration of the festival. ● Chanukah Foods On Chanukah we eat foods fried in oil—such as latkes (potato pancakes) ​ ​ ​ and sufganiot (doughnuts) -- in commemoration of the miracle of the oil. ​ ​ It is also customary to eat dairy foods in commemoration of Judith's heroic ​ deed. ​ ● Dreidel It is customary to play dreidel—a game played with a spinning top inscribed with the Hebrew letters Nun, Gimmel, Hei and Shin, which spell the phrase Nes Gadol Hayah Sham, "a great miracle happened there." (It is said that when the Greeks forbade the study of Torah, Jewish children continued the study with their teachers in caves and cellars; when the agents of the king were seen approaching, the children would hide their scrolls and start to play with spinning tops...) How to Play Dreidel ● Chanukah Gelt It is an age-old custom to distribute gifts of Chanukah gelt ("Chanukah money") to children on Chanukah. (It was the custom of the rebbes of ​ Chabad-Lubavitch to give Chanukah gelt to their children and other family members on the fourth or fifth night of Chanukah; more recently, however, the Lubavitcher Rebbe encouraged the giving of Chanukah gelt every day of the festival—except for Shabbat, when handling money is forbidden.) ● Today in Jewish History Construction of the Second Temple Resumes (353 BCE) In the first year of rule of Cyrus, the King of Persia, Jews were given ​ ​ permission to return to Israel and rebuild the Holy Temple. A group of Jews ​ ​ led by Zerubavel set out for Jerusalem and began working on the second Temple. However, the Cutheans falsely accused the Jews of plotting a rebellion against King Cyrus and were successful in halting the construction of the Holy Temple for the remainder of his reign and throughout the reign of Ahasuerus, his successor. Construction resumed in the second year of the reign of Darius, Ahasuerus's son, on the 24th of Kislev. Friday, 25 Kislev - 2nd night of Chanukah ● Kindle 2 Lights before sunset (4:51 PM) Tonight is the eve of the 2nd day of Chanukah, so we kindle two lights in the Chanukah menorah. IMPORTANT: Because of the prohibition to kindle fire on Shabbat, the ​ ​ Chanukah lights must be lit before lighting the Shabbat candles, and should ​ ​ contain enough oil (or the candle be big enough) to burn until 30 minutes after nightfall.

  • A Fresh Perspective on the History of Hasidic Judaism
    eSharp Issue 20: New Horizons A Fresh Perspective on the History of Hasidic Judaism Eva van Loenen (University of Southampton) Introduction In this article, I shall examine the history of Hasidic Judaism, a mystical,1 ultra-orthodox2 branch of Judaism, which values joyfully worshipping God’s presence in nature as highly as the strict observance of the laws of Torah3 and Talmud.4 In spite of being understudied, the history of Hasidic Judaism has divided historians until today. Indeed, Hasidic Jewish history is not one monolithic, clear-cut, straightforward chronicle. Rather, each scholar has created his own narrative and each one is as different as its author. While a brief introduction such as this cannot enter into all the myriad divergences and similarities between these stories, what I will attempt to do here is to incorporate and compare an array of different views in order to summarise the history of Hasidism and provide a more objective analysis, which has not yet been undertaken. Furthermore, my historical introduction in Hasidic Judaism will exemplify how mystical branches of mainstream religions might develop and shed light on an under-researched division of Judaism. The main focus of 1 Mystical movements strive for a personal experience of God or of his presence and values intuitive, spiritual insight or revelationary knowledge. The knowledge gained is generally ‘esoteric’ (‘within’ or hidden), leading to the term ‘esotericism’ as opposed to exoteric, based on the external reality which can be attested by anyone. 2 Ultra-orthodox Jews adhere most strictly to Jewish law as the holy word of God, delivered perfectly and completely to Moses on Mount Sinai.

    Hasidic Judaism - Wikipedia, the freevisited encyclopedi ona 1/6/2015 Page 1 of 19 Hasidic Judaism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sephardic pronunciation: [ħasiˈdut]; Ashkenazic , תודיסח :Hasidic Judaism (from the Hebrew pronunciation: [χaˈsidus]), meaning "piety" (or "loving-kindness"), is a branch of Orthodox Judaism that promotes spirituality through the popularization and internalization of Jewish mysticism as the fundamental aspect of the faith. It was founded in 18th-century Eastern Europe by Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov as a reaction against overly legalistic Judaism. His example began the characteristic veneration of leadership in Hasidism as embodiments and intercessors of Divinity for the followers. [1] Contrary to this, Hasidic teachings cherished the sincerity and concealed holiness of the unlettered common folk, and their equality with the scholarly elite. The emphasis on the Immanent Divine presence in everything gave new value to prayer and deeds of kindness, alongside rabbinical supremacy of study, and replaced historical mystical (kabbalistic) and ethical (musar) asceticism and admonishment with Simcha, encouragement, and daily fervor.[2] Hasidism comprises part of contemporary Haredi Judaism, alongside the previous Talmudic Lithuanian-Yeshiva approach and the Sephardi and Mizrahi traditions. Its charismatic mysticism has inspired non-Orthodox Neo-Hasidic thinkers and influenced wider modern Jewish denominations, while its scholarly thought has interested contemporary academic study. Each Hasidic Jews praying in the Hasidic dynasty follows its own principles; thus, Hasidic Judaism is not one movement but a synagogue on Yom Kippur, by collection of separate groups with some commonality. There are approximately 30 larger Hasidic Maurycy Gottlieb groups, and several hundred smaller groups. Though there is no one version of Hasidism, individual Hasidic groups often share with each other underlying philosophy, worship practices, dress (borrowed from local cultures), and songs (borrowed from local cultures).

  • Hasidic Literature As a Literary Tradition
    Elly Moseson Work-in-progress – Not for circulation or citation Hasidic Literature as a Literary Tradition I. Introduction One of the most significant contributions of the Hasidic movement to Jewish culture is its vast and rich literary tradition. Over the past two and a half centuries, Hasidic writers have produced thousands of books many of which have had great influence both within the movement and beyond it. In addition to their value as creative works of religious literature in their own right, these works also provide insight into Hasidic history, ideology and culture. However, much about the origins and development of this tradition remains obscure. How and when did the Hasidic literary tradition begin? What is its exact relationship to the Hasidic movement? In what sense can we even speak of Hasidic literature as a distinct literary tradition? How do we define the Hasidic literary corpus and what are the criteria by which to include or exclude a given work from it? The designation of a given body of texts as a distinct literary tradition generally implies the recognition of some shared elements and thus serves to facilitate our understanding of these texts by highlighting certain historical connections or common thematic or stylistic features. This is presumably also the case when we speak about Hasidic literature but what exactly is distinctive in either the form or content of Hasidic texts that can be used to tie them to each other is not entirely obvious. While it is of course reasonable to assume that there is some relation between Hasidic literature and the Hasidic movement, determining what exactly is this relation is complicated by the fact that the Hasidic movement itself is not easy to define, especially in its formative period.
