  • Our Shabbos in Shebreshin
    Our Shabbos in Shebreshin As Ashkenazim — Jews of Northern/Eastern European ances- try — we called it Shabbos; for the Mediterranean Sephardim, the word was Shabbat. It was our Sabbath, and it started on Fridays — to be exact, about six o’clock every Friday morning. I would hear my mother get out of bed and prepare herself for the big event of baking the bread that was to last all week. One day, as a young child, I too got up, announcing to my mother that I would go with her. She didn’t resist very much. She pulled down my nightshirt, took my hand, and led me in my bare feet across the few yards to my grandfather’s house. Grandma was already awake and moving about. The kitchen was brightly lit, the large brick stove and oven were fired up, and there were piles of sifted flour on the table. Some dough was already rising. The kitchen was adjacent to my grandparents’ bedroom, and the door was seldom closed. Zaida saw me coming in, smiled, and beckoned me to come join him in his bed. He put me on his chest. I buried my face in his beard. It smelled of spices. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warmth. We watched the two women prepare the baking — sifting and kneading. First, the white flour for the twisted Shabbos challah and other white-dough baked goods; later, the dark rye OUR SHABBOS IN SHEBRESHIN 127 to bake in round loaves, sprinkled on top with caraway seeds.

The approach highlights especially the meaning of socio•historical and religious factors in the emergence of the Mission view of Messianic Jewish women. Ukraine, the location of this study case, is an ex•Soviet country of about 48 million citizens with 100 ethnic nationalities. Members of the Jewish Faith form one of those ethnic groups.

  • Information Limmud AZ
    2018limmudse.org Welcome On behalf of the Kaplan Mitchell Retreat Center team, the entire Ramah Darom staff, and our Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to warmly welcome you to our Clayton home for Limmud 2018! Limmud Atlanta + SE and Ramah Darom have been supporters of one another for many years, but in this, the 10th LimmudFest at Ramah Darom, our partnership has deepened in a substantial way. Ramah Darom is a unique place for exceptional experiences where Jewish living and learning to come to life. We seek to partner with other organizations in providing deep and meaningful Jewish moments in a beautiful setting with outstanding hospitality. Limmud is an organization distinct in its core values of choice, volunteerism, learning, and growing. No other experience prides itself on encouraging arguments for the sake of Heaven, nor empowering its participants to see themselves as both learners and teachers, in such an authentic way as Limmud does. In times of increasing polarization of our collective discourse, this program seeks to double down on its effort to bring a variety of voices and opinions to the table, and be a space where participants are exposed to new and different ways of thinking, particularly about Judaism and themselves. LimmudFest is the first content program in our Retreat Center season. In many ways I think of it as the signature event which provides participants a taste of all the opportunities to come in the year at Ramah Darom. Limmud encapsulates the full spectrum of values and experiences we seek to provide here at Ramah Darom, where Judaism can grow and thrive and where Jews of all backgrounds can come together for positive, inclusive, and inspiring programs.
