    KAJ NEWSLETTER January 9, ‘20 י"ב טבת תש"פ A monthly publication of K’hal Adath Jeshurun Volume 50 Number 4 New Security Measures In light of the recent sobering events in Jersey City and Monsey, we are reminded ever more of our tenuous Golus-situation and the need for vigilance and security. The Kehilla has implemented the following new security measure: Access to the Shul now requires the use of a code. The only two doors to be used to enter the Shul are the front left door (main entrance) and the ramp door (south side). All women should use the ramp door (only) when entering the Shul. We realize that this is an inconvenience, but the Board believes that it is a necessary step to take in light of recent events. The Board of Trustees is considering additional security measures as well, which will also cover 90 Bennett Avenue. At a recent meeting with elected officials and police, the police department’s dedicated Houses of Worship squad car was mentioned; this car makes periodic check-up patrols around neighborhood Shuls.

  • UNVERISTY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Spiritual Narrative In
    UNVERISTY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Spiritual Narrative in Sound and Structure of Chabad Nigunim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Music by Zachary Alexander Klein 2019 © Copyright by Zachary Alexander Klein 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Spiritual Narrative in Sound and Structure of Chabad Nigunim by Zachary Alexander Klein Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Richard Dane Danielpour , Co-Chair Professor David Samuel Lefkowitz, Co-Chair In the Chabad-Lubavitch chasidic community, the singing of religious folksongs called nigunim holds a fundamental place in communal and individual life. There is a well-known saying in Chabad circles that while words are the pen of the heart, music is the pen of the soul. The implication of this statement is that music is able to express thoughts and emotions in a deeper way than words could on their own could. In chasidic thought, there are various spiritual narratives that may be expressed through nigunim. These narratives are fundamental in understanding what is being experienced and performed through singing nigunim. At times, the narrative has already been established in Chabad chasidic literature and knowing the particular aspects of this narrative is indispensible in understanding how the nigun unfolds in musical time. ii In other cases, the particular details of this narrative are unknown. In such a case, understanding how melodic construction, mode, ornamentation, and form function to create a musical syntax can inform our understanding of how a nigun can reflect a particular spiritual narrative. This dissertation examines the ways in which musical syntax and spiritual parameters work together to express these various spiritual narratives in sound and structure of nigunim.

A compassionate, engaging biography, this magni"cent work will open up many new avenues of research.” —Dana Evan Kaplan, author, Contemporary American Judaism: Transformation and Renewal; editor, !e Cambridge Companion to American Judaism “In contrast to other recent biographies of the Rebbe, Chaim Miller has availed himself of all the relevant textual sources and archival docu- ments to recount the details of one of the more fascinating religious leaders of the twentieth century. !rough the voice of the author, even the most seemingly trivial aspect of the Rebbe’s life is teeming with interest....
