High Holiday Guide Table of Contents Rabbi's Message CONGREGATION BETH EL ATERETH ISRAEL High Holiday Guide Table of Contents Rabbi's Message ON ROSH HASHANAH, the shofar is intended Rabbi’s Message .................................................. 3 to awaken us to focus on what is really important in life. During the rest of the year we often get caught up Schedule of Services .......................................... 4 in the details of daily living and are distracted from concentrating on what is truly significant in our lives. Customs for Rosh Hashanah - Simanim .......... 5 This past year, many have already begun that process due to the Covid health crisis that has taken over Suggested Readings ........................................... 6 the world. The frailty of human existence echoed During the Yomim Noraim in the Unesana Tokef prayer has been brought home too starkly, as we all know individuals who have Rosh Hashanah Ritual Guide ............................. 7 been struck with this illness, and some who have succumbed. Yom Kippur Ritual Guide .................................... 9 We have developed a heightened sense of obligation Customs for Erev Yom Kippur to behave in a responsible and safe manner while — Blessing sons and daughters .............. 10 maintaining a close connection with family, friends and community members. Having to distance — Kapparot.................................................11 ourselves from each other to one degree or another has given us a deeper appreciation of how important Sukkot ...................................................................12 connecting to each other means to us. We often take — The Four Species things for granted until they are taken from us. — Succah Building Reminders Through the Yomim Noraim we ask Hashem to — Shabbat and Yom Tov Candles in the Succah remember us for "chayim," for life, and to write us in the book of "chayim," of life. The Hebrew word "chaim" technically is a plural form of the word "chay" which means life in the singular. Why, when we pray as individuals, do we pray for life in the plural? Perhaps because living life without being able to share it with others is not really living at all. We all feel that sentiment so profoundly this year. May we be blessed this year not only with life, but with "Chayim" the privilege of being able to share life with each other in a full and meaningful way.

Choose from your tradition. DATES: A blessing of “Boray Pree Ha’etz” is recited (having in mind all the tree fruit that you intend to eat during the meal) after which dates are eaten then say: ְי ִהי ָרצוֹ ן ִ)מ ְּל ָפ ֶני ָך, ה׳ ֱא ֵלֹק ּינו ֵוא ֵלֹקי ֲאבוֹ ֵת ּנו,( ׁ ֶשִי ּ ַת ּמו שׂוֹ ְנ ֵא ּינו. Yehee ratzon sheyitamu sonaynu v’oyvenu. “May it be Thy will that our adversaries be eradicated.” This is a phonemic symbol. The Hebrew word temarim dates sounds similar to the yitamo (to eradicate). POMEGRANATES: One then eats the pomegranates and before eating recites: ְי ִהי ָרצוֹ ן ִ)מ ְּל ָפ ֶני ָך, ה׳ ֱא ֵלֹק ּינו ֵוא ֵלֹקי ֲאבוֹ ֵת ּנו,( ׁ ֶש ִנְר ֶּבה ְּזכֻיוֹ ת ְּכִר ּמוֹ ן. Yehee ratzon shenarbeh zchuyos k’rimon. “May it be Thy will that we have a multitude of merits like (the seeds of) the pomegranate.” APPLE IN HONEY: An apple is dipped into the honey and before eating the following is recited: ְי ִהי ָרצוֹ ן ִ)מ ְּל ָפ ֶני ָך, ה׳ ֱא ֵלק ֹּינו ֵוא ֵלקֹי ֲאבוֹ ֵת ּנו‚( שׁ ּ ְת ַחֵדשׁ ָע ֵל ּינו ׁ ָש ָנה טוֹ ָבה ּו ְמ ּתו ָקה. Yehee ratzon shetchadesh olaynu shana tova umesuka. “May it be Thy will to usher in upon us a good and sweet year.” FISH: Before eating fish the following is recited: ְי ִהי ָרצוֹ ן ִ)מ ְּל ָפ ֶני ָך, ה׳ ֱא ֵלֹק ּינו ֵוא ֵלֹקי ֲאבוֹ ֵת ּנו,( ׁ ֶש ִנ ְפֶרה ְו ִנְר ֶּבה ְּכָד ִגים. Yehee ratzon shenifreh v’nirbeh k’dogim. “May it be Thy will that we be fruitful and multiply like fish.” FISH HEAD: Before tasting the fish head the following is recited: ְי ִהי ָרצוֹ ן ְּ)מל ָפ ֶני ָך, ה׳ ֱא ֵלֹק ּינו ֵוא ֵלֹקי ֲאבוֹ ֵת ּנו,( ׁ ֶש ִנ ְהֶיה ְלרֹאשׁ ְולֹא ְל ָזנ ָב. Yehee ratzon shehneeyeh l’rosh vlo I’zonov. “May it be Thy will that we be likened to the head. not to the tail.” CARROTS: Before eating carrot tzimmes the following is recited: ְי ִהי ָרצוֹ ן ִ)מ ְּל ָפ ֶני ָך, ה׳ ֱא ֵלֹק ּינו ֵוא ֵלֹקי ֲאבוֹ ֵת ּנו,( ׁ ֶשִיְר ּב ּו ְז ֻּכיוֹ ֵת ּנו. Yehee ratzon sheyirbu zechuyosenu. “May it be Your will that our merits increase. “ The Yiddish word for carrots ‘mehren’ is similar to the Yiddish word mehr which means more. NEW FRUIT: On the second evening of Rosh Hashana it is customary to eat a new fruit—one which had not been eaten since last Rosh Hashana. Since there is some question as to whether or not the blessing of Shehecheyanu should be said at kiddush on the second night of Rosh Hashana … when the Shecheyanu is recited one should also have in mind the new fruit. Even if one does not have a new fruit, Shehecheyanu is recited in the kiddush. The new fruit is eaten after the Hamotzie and eating of the Challah. NUTS: There is a custom to refrain from eating nuts on Rosh Hashana. The Hebrew word for nut is ‘egoz’ which has the same numerical value as the Hebrew word ‘chet’ which means sins. HIGH HOLIDAY GUIDE / 5 SUGGESTED READINGS DURING THE YOMIM NORAIM Since davening time in shul will be reduced due to Covid safety concerns, we will have an opportuni- ty to spend more time in study and reflection at home.

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.

  • Guide for Rosh Hashanah 5781/2020 Erev Rosh Hashanah ● Hatarat Nedarim (Nullification of Vows) Is Ideally Recited on Erev Rosh Hashanah
    Guide for Rosh HaShanah 5781/2020 Erev Rosh Hashanah ● Hatarat Nedarim (nullification of vows) is ideally recited on Erev Rosh HaShanah. It can be done either in small socially distanced groups with masks or by video calling in to a Beit Din of three Jewish men (we will try to arrange for this setup – more details as we get closer). For those not able to do it on Erev Rosh HaShanah, it can be done at a later point, but one should try to have it done at the latest before Yom Kippur begins. ● Candle lighting should take place 18 minutes before sundown at 7:03pm. The blessing should conclude L’Hadlik Ner Shel Shabbat V’Shel Yom Tov. ● Weekday Mincha should be completed before sundown, which is at 7:21pm. First Day of Rosh Hashanah Friday Night ● An abridged Kabbalat Shabbat is recited that begins with Mizmor Shir L’Yom HaShabbat. Bameh Madlikin should also be omitted. ● Both V’Shamru and Tik’u BaChodesh Shofar are recited before the Amidah. ● Ma’ariv Amidah for Rosh Hashanah with proper insertions for Shabbos. There are a number of insertions into the Amidah that are recited throughout Aseres Yemei Teshuva (Ten Days of Repentance). ● Vayechulu is recited after the Amidah (omitting the blessing “Magen Avot”) followed by L’David Mizmor and then Aleinu. ● Kiddush for Rosh Hashanah with proper Shabbos insertions. Kiddush begins with Yom HaShishi. Shehechiyanu is recited. ● The traditional symbolic foods (simanim) are eaten on the first night together with their respective prayers (Yehi Ratzon). ● Birkas HaMazon should include the insertions for Shabbos and Rosh Hashanah.

The blue design in the lower half of the parochet represents the parting of the Sea of Reeds as the Israelites left Egypt. G-d led the Israelites through the wilderness with a column of smoke and fire, represented by the yellows and reds in the form of the He- brew letter “shin” – a symbol for G-d’s name. The design is or- ganized in a grid of five columns, representing the five books of the Torah, and ten rows for the Ten Commandments.

  • JFREJ Ritual Toolkit for Mourning Black Lives and Police Violence
    JFREJ Ritual Toolkit for Mourning Black Lives and Police Violence This toolkit is an offering of prayer, ritual, and action for mourning Black lives lost to police violence and racism. It is structured after the following Jewish phases of mourning, acknowledging the natural course of grief and bereavement: Shiva - The first seven days following the burial of the deceased. ​ Shloshim - The first 30 days following the burial of the deceased. ​ Yahrzeit - The anniversary of the deceased. ​ Yizkor - A moment to remember the deceased during Jewish Holidays. ​ The intention of this toolkit is to provide both immediate support for the bereaved as well as sustained practices to honor the memory of Black Lives lost through suggested offerings of prayer, ritual, and action.
