  • Our P'nai Or Philadelphia Siddurim
    Our P'nai Or Philadelphia Siddurim Rabbi Marcia's P'nai Or Siddur for Shabbat Morning and P'nai Or Siddur for Erev Shabbat offer a user- friendly layout with clear easy-to-read Hebrew, accessible transliterations, and translations that bring out the inner sparkle of the Hebrew prayer poetry. From the Introduction: The P’nai Or Shabbat Morning Siddur Second Edition “Prayer can be electric and alive! Prayer can touch the soul, burst forth a creative celebration of the spirit and open deep wells of gratitude, longing and praise. Prayer can connect us to our Living Source and to each other, enfolding us in love and praise, wonder and gratitude, awe and thankfulness. Jewish prayer in its essence is soul dialogue and calls us into relationship within and beyond. Through the power of words and melodies both ancient and new, we venture into realms of deep emotion and find longing, sorrow, joy, hope, wholeness, connection and peace. When guided by skilled leaders of prayer and ritual, our complacency is challenged. We break through outworn assumptions about God and ourselves, and emerge refreshed and inspired to meet the challenges our lives offer.” (-from the DLTI brochure, by Rabbis Marcia Prager and Shawn Israel Zevit) This Siddur was created as a vehicle to explore how traditional and novel approaches to Jewish prayer can blend, so that the experience of Jewish prayer can be renewed, revitalized and deepened. It is an ongoing experiment in the spirit of Rav Kook, who wrote, “The old shall be renewed and the new shall be made holy (Letters, Vol I).” -Rabbi Marcia Prager ____________________________________________________________________________________ The new siddurim represent something new in the sphere of Jewish liturgy - truly user-friendly layout easy-to-read clear Hebrew poetic English, in a contemporary idiom, that can be davvened alongside the Hebrew an appendix of songs and prayers that can augment and inform the traditional flow of prayer and be woven into diverse locations in the siddur.

  • The Development of the Jewish Prayerbook'
    "We Are Bound to Tradition Yet Part of That Tradition Is Change": The Development of the Jewish Prayerbook' Ilana Harlow Indiana University The traditional Jewish liturgy in its diverse manifestations is an imposing artistic structure. But unlike a painting or a symphony it is not the work of one artist or even the product of one period. It is more like a medieval cathedral, in the construction of which many generations had a share and in the ultimate completion of which the traces of diverse tastes and styles may be detected. (Petuchowski 1985:312) This essay explores the dynamics between tradition and innovation, authority and authenticity through a study of a recently edited Jewish prayerbook-a contemporary development in a tradition which can be traced over a one-thousand year period. The many editions of the Jewish prayerbook, or siddur, that have been compiled over the centuries chronicle the contributions specific individuals and communities made to the tradition-informed by the particular fashions and events of their times as well as by extant traditions. The process is well-captured in liturgist Jakob Petuchowski's 'cathedral simile' above-an image which could be applied equally well to many traditions but is most evident in written ones. An examination of a continuously emergent written tradition, such as the siddur, can help highlight kindred processes involved in the non-documented development of oral and behavioral traditions. Presented below are the editorial decisions of a contemporary prayerbook editor, Rabbi Jules Harlow, as a case study of the kinds of issues involved when individuals assume responsibility for the ongoing conserva- tion and construction of traditions for their communities.

  • Lincoln Square Synagogue for As Sexuality, the Role Of
    IflN mm Lincoln Square Synagogue Volume 27, No. 3 WINTER ISSUE Shevat 5752 - January, 1992 FROM THE RABBI'S DESK.- It has been two years since I last saw leaves summon their last colorful challenge to their impending fall. Although there are many things to wonder at in this city, most ofthem are works ofhuman beings. Only tourists wonder at the human works, and being a New Yorker, I cannot act as a tourist. It was good to have some thing from G-d to wonder at, even though it was only leaves. Wondering is an inspiring sensation. A sense of wonder insures that our rela¬ tionship with G-d is not static. It keeps us in an active relationship, and protects us from davening or fulfilling any other mitzvah merely by rote. A lack of excitement, of curiosity, of surprise, of wonder severs our attachment to what we do. Worse: it arouses G-d's disappointment I wonder most at our propensity to cease wondering. None of us would consciously decide to deprive our prayers and actions of meaning. Yet, most of us are not much bothered by our lack of attachment to our tefilot and mitzvot. We are too comfortable, too certain that we are living properly. That is why I am happy that we hosted the Wednesday Night Lecture with Rabbi Riskin and Dr. Ruth. The lecture and the controversy surrounding it certainly woke us up. We should not need or even use controversy to wake ourselves up. However, those of us who were joined in argument over the lecture were forced to confront some of the serious divisions in the Orthodox community, and many of its other problems.

  • From the Rabbi's Desk the Festival of Chanukah Retells the Struggle Between Traditional Judaism and the Forces of Secularism Which Seek to Engulf It
    Vol. 3, Xo. 4 December, 1966 Kislev-Tevet, 5727 From The Rabbi's Desk The Festival of Chanukah retells the struggle between traditional Judaism and the forces of secularism which seek to engulf it. The Hellenists maintained that the esthetic values of Greek philosophy were far more noble than the outdated rituals of ancient Judea, that the dicta of Aristotle ought replace the laws of Moses. The one commandment most maligned was that of circumcision. How could civilized people, aware of the perfection of the human body, agree to any operation which would alter a physical organ? In truth, many of the Hellenized Jews underwent plastic surgery to conceal their "shameful" circumcision. Similarly in our own day is the rite of circum¬ cision being questioned and rejected. All too fre¬ quently a father asks me to name his new-born son in the synagogue after a so-called brit-milah was performed by a doctor on the third or fourth day after birth. So has twentieth century America trans¬ formed a religious imperative into a mere biological operation! The rite of circumcision brands our regenerative organ with the unescapable fact of our Jewishness. It declares to the son of Abraham at birth that the obligations and privileges of his Judaism are an intrinsic element of the very origin of his being. It eloquently preaches the power of man to perfect himself and the primacy of God over every aspect of man's physical existence. But most significantly it symbolizes commitment, the kind of commitment which involves the shedding of one's blood (hatafat dam brit) for one's faith and one's God.

    passover 2021 guidelines elebrating Passover this year will once again not be in an ideal form. Hopefully, the challenges presented by COVID-19 will open doors to creativity and the learning of new skills. In addition to Cour civic legal requirements, as always, it is crucial that we take seriously our obligation as Jews to safeguard our lives and the lives of others. This year, Pesach is immediately preceded by Shabbat. As a result, some practices are modified, especially when and what we eat on Shabbat. Selling Chametz / Ma’ot Chittin Adath Israel is once again pleased to assist our members in the selling of their chametz. As the synagogue office is closed, please do not mail or fax chametz selling forms. Rather, all chametz sales should be completed online HERE. It is a mitzvah prior to Passover to provide tzedakah so that those in need can appropriately celebrate the holiday. This year, there is already a great need within our community. Please support Toronto’s vulnerable Jews by donating HERE. New Clothing Many have the custom of purchasing new clothing prior to Passover. This practice should be suspended. Siyyum Bechorot The virtual Siyyum Bechorot will take place on Thursday, March 25. Services begin at 7:30 a.m., with the Siyyum starting 8:15am. We are honoured that Dr. Jack Lipinsky will once again lead the teaching. Click HERE to log in.
