  • On the Proper Use of Niggunim for the Tefillot of the Yamim Noraim
    On the Proper Use of Niggunim for the Tefillot of the Yamim Noraim Cantor Sherwood Goffin Faculty, Belz School of Jewish Music, RIETS, Yeshiva University Cantor, Lincoln Square Synagogue, New York City Song has been the paradigm of Jewish Prayer from time immemorial. The Talmud Brochos 26a, states that “Tefillot kneged tmidim tiknum”, that “prayer was established in place of the sacrifices”. The Mishnah Tamid 7:3 relates that most of the sacrifices, with few exceptions, were accompanied by the music and song of the Leviim.11 It is therefore clear that our custom for the past two millennia was that just as the korbanot of Temple times were conducted with song, tefillah was also conducted with song. This is true in our own day as well. Today this song is expressed with the musical nusach only or, as is the prevalent custom, nusach interspersed with inspiring communally-sung niggunim. It once was true that if you wanted to daven in a shul that sang together, you had to go to your local Young Israel, the movement that first instituted congregational melodies c. 1910-15. Most of the Orthodox congregations of those days – until the late 1960s and mid-70s - eschewed the concept of congregational melodies. In the contemporary synagogue of today, however, the experience of the entire congregation singing an inspiring melody together is standard and expected. Are there guidelines for the proper choice and use of “known” niggunim at various places in the tefillot of the Yamim Noraim? Many are aware that there are specific tefillot that must be sung "...b'niggunim hanehugim......b'niggun yodua um'sukon um'kubal b'chol t'futzos ho'oretz...mimei kedem." – "...with the traditional melodies...the melody that is known, correct and accepted 11 In Arachin 11a there is a dispute as to whether song is m’akeiv a korban, and includes 10 biblical sources for song that is required to accompany the korbanos.

  • Erev Rosh Hashana 5776 Avinu Malkeinu Rabbi Vernon Kurtz
    EREV ROSH HASHANA 5776 AVINU MALKEINU RABBI VERNON KURTZ As we gather here on the eve of Rosh Hashana, I must tell you I can’t wait for the end of Neilah on Yom Kippur. And, it is not for the reason you are thinking of. The last prayer that we recite in the Neilah service is the Avinu Malkeinu prayer. In full-throated singing our community joins together to chant one last time the final verse of that ancient prayer. As the Ark is closed I always feel that our prayers have wings going up to heaven in this last moment of the Ten Days of Penitence. It is a special moment for me and, I think, for all of us. We commence our High Holy Day experience this evening as one community and we conclude it at Neilah in the same fashion. The prayer Avinu Malkeinu, not only because of its last verse, but because of its history and meaning, is a central one to the High Holiday liturgy. We recite it every day of the Ten Days of Penitence except for Shabbat when penitential prayers such as these are not considered appropriate. In time for the High Holy Day season a new book appeared, edited by Rabbi Lawrence Hoffman. It is entitled Naming God – Avinu Malkeinu - Our Father, Our King. Authors from across the globe wrote essays about the prayer, its history, language, metaphors, lessons about G- d and about us, and its meaning for today. We know that Avinu Malkeinu is one of our most ancient prayers.

  • I Want to Talk About One Word
    Change Rabbi Jeff Saxe Temple Rodef Shalom, Falls Church, Virginia Sermon for Yom Kippur 5769 October 9, 2008 I can’t remember whether it was in the 80’s or inside of the moment day to day, you might the 90’s that I first started seeing this bumper have no idea how much you’ve changed until sticker, but it’s been in my consciousness for there you are, on the bema, holding the Torah years, and maybe you’ve seen it too. It’s for the first time, and then actually publicly usually on an old Volkswagen Bug or a family thanking your parents for everything they do station wagon next to other stickers for for you! Or maybe the change sinks in later different causes, and it’s a spin on the more when you are looking at your Bat-Mitzvah vernacular two-word phrase we all know: the pictures. You see a person in the photo bumper sticker says, “Change Happens.” album who is much different from the person you used to think you were. The same thing Change, of course, is the word of the day. It goes for our wedding pictures, and pictures is the presidential election that has led me to with new grandchildren. Every year we are focus my thoughts on it this year. However, I different from the year before. It could be want to tell you that this is not a political why Jews read the same stories from the sermon but a personal one, and it is the Torah, year after year.

  • Kenesset Israel Torah Center Yom Kippur Guide 2777
    Kenesset Israel Torah Center Yom Kippur Guide 2777 Welcome! Welcome to Yom Kippur at Kenesset Israel Torah Center! The High Holidays are a time when Jews all over the world, of all denominations and approaches to the tradition observance, come together to pray to God, to do teshuvah - to repent of our past misdeeds - and to celebrate. These are days of expressing gratitude, awe, and remorse, days of asking forgiveness and forgiving others. The liturgy that we recite on Yom Kippur is poignant and beautiful, but there is a lot of it—services are long and there are literally hundreds of pages of prayers to recite. When you find yourself lost, bored, or simply overwhelmed by unfamiliar prayers, the pace of the davening, or the sheer length of the service, I invite you to use this packet to guide you through the services and offer you inspiration along the way. Additionally, I encourage you to read the prayers in a language you understand. It is more important to understand the prayers than to try to say or read them in Hebrew. May you be inscribed and sealed in the book of life! G’mar Chatima Tova, Rabbi Garth Silberstein Navigating the High Holiday Services A. Some Sage Advice “Embodying the rhythm and texts of the Yamim Nora'im [High Holidays] requires real work. I need to find my way into the machzor, into the days themselves, into the service, as I sit in the pews. It can feel overwhelming, relentless, perhaps especially on Yom Kippur when we all regress a bit, I think, and eventually start flipping through the book to the end, wondering exactly how many hours, how many minutes to until I can sit, enjoy that bagel and lox, that bit of lokshin kugel, a few sips of water.
