During the past two years, when people Rabbi Zeller would talk often about the concept of devekut (attachment to learned that I was president of Adas Israel God) that the Hasidic masters had brought alive from teachings in the Zohar: Congregation, they inevitably cracked a “If you are already full, there is no room for God.

The Fortieth Melacha The second Mishnah of the seventh perek of specific Torah verse, therefore utilises the same Messechet Shabbat deals with what is commonly language as the Mishnah in Messechet Makkot to referred to as “the 39 melachot”. This Mishnah lists portray the number 39. the 39 activities prohibited to perform on Shabbat by the Torah. However, based on the Gemara (Shabbat 74a), we are able find another reason as to why the Mishnah wrote As we know, these activities are prohibited due to the “forty less one” and not 39. The Gemara examines the fact that they were all connected in some way to the activities related to baking bread – the first eleven building of the Mishkan – a project that stopped on primary labours – and asks why the melacha of Shabbat and continued during the other six days of the “kotesh” (pounding the dough) is not included, as it is week. This idea is learnt from the juxtaposition of the surely an important part of baking bread? Abaye laws pertaining to the building of the Mishkan and the answers this question by stating that despite the fact laws pertaining to Shabbat in Shmot chapter 31. that pounding may have been done in the Mishkan to make the bread, it is not an activity that is done by the However, if we examine the wording of this Mishnah poor when they make bread and therefore not we will see very clearly that the Mishnah does not essential to the process. mention the number 39 at all.

  • Welcome from Dayan Binstock
    WELCOME FROM DAYAN BINSTOCK Dear Friends Welcome to our Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services at St Johns Wood Shul. Whether you are one of our regular attendees at our services on weekday or Shabbat; whether you are an occasional visitor; or whether you simply turn up for a bit on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, may I take this opportunity to wish you and your family a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year. The service on Rosh Hashanah is, of course, longer that the average Shabbat. Nevertheless, we intend to finish by about 1.15pm. This book has been prepared to assist you in the Synagogue. It contains essays and explanations on different aspects of the service which we hope will pique your interest. We are grateful to Rabbi Ari Shainfeld and David Burr for all the effort they have made in compiling this book. This year, we are again running a special Explanatory Services which will take place in the David Weisz Hall (the ‘Succah’). On the first day of Rosh Hashanah the service will start at 11.15am and On Kol Nidre the service will follow Dayan Binstock’s sermon. Following from last year’s success, on Yom Kippur at 11.15am, there will once again be The Big Debate, the topic in question this year is “Does one need to be practicing to be a good Jew?” The debate will start at 11.45 am followed at 12.45pm by an explanatory service. The services will be conducted by Rabbi Ari Shainfeld and davening led by Rabbi Yossi Binstock.

  • Fall Course Catalogue
    בס"ד Midreshet AMIT Learning Guide 5781/2020-2021 First Trimester Elul / Fall Zman 5780-5781 This guide is organized by Areas of Study and not by days of the week. The Areas of Study are: Tanach, Gemara & Chazal, Halacha, Jewish Philosophy, Mussar & Self Help, and Jewish History. Find the classes you want, and match them to the weekly schedule by class block. For example, a class numbered “Block 5” meets first thing Monday and Thursday morning. A class numbered “Block 24” meets on the last class of Night Seder. You cannot take two classes in the same block. Make good and interesting choices that will make you good and interesting Jews. Areas of Study TANACH FAQs What is TaNaCh? Tanach is an acronym for Torah, (the five books) Nevi’im (the prophets, like Yehoshua) and Ketuvim (holy writings, like Tehilim). All the books in Tanach are holy, but they range in holy-intensity from the Torah which is Hashem’s direct word to Ketuvim which were written with ruach hakodesh. Is TaNaCh relevant? “Why learn Tanach?” you ask. How can such old books be relevant today? Well, let’s start by asking ourselves this question: If God sent you a text, would you read it? Tanach is the very word of Hashem to us. Therefore, understanding Hashem’s message to us the most relevant thing in the whole world! I learned it already in High School. Shouldn’t I take something new? Tanach is like your favorite book or T.V. series, every time you read it/watch it you find new meaning, especially when you learn with a new teacher in a new environment.
