From the hour that the kohanim enter to eat their terumah Until the end of the first watch, in the opinion of Rabbi Eliezer. The Sages say: Until midnight. Rabban Gamliel says: Until morning. It happened that his sons came from a wedding feast. They said to him: We have not yet recited the Shema. He said to them: If it has not yet morned, you are obligated to recite it. Babylonian Talmud Berakhot 2a What is the context of the Mishnah’s opening “From when”? Also, why does it teach about the evening first, rather than about the morning? The context is Scripture saying “when you lie down and when you arise” (Devarim 6:7, 11:9). what the Mishnah intends is: “The time of the Shema of lying-down – when is it?” Alternatively: The context is Creation, as Scripture writes “There was evening and there was morning”. Mishnah Berakhot 1:1 (continued) Not only this – rather, everything about which the Sages say until midnight – their mitzvah is until morning. The burning of fats and organs – their mitzvah is until morning. All sacrifices that must be eaten in a day – their mitzvah is until morning.

TORAH INSIGHTS for a MODERN AGE by DAVID ROTENBERG
TORAH INSIGHTS FOR A MODERN AGE By DAVID ROTENBERG Integrated Studies Final Project Essay (MAIS 700) submitted to Dr. Mike Gismondi in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta August, 2013 Table of Contents Abstract ………………………………………………………………………….. 3 Introduction ……………………………………………………………………... 5 Essay One: Joseph vs. George – A Modern Look at Faith ………………….. 11 Essay Two: What’s in a Name? ……………………………………………….. 18 Essay Three: Talk to Strangers ………………………………………………... 23 Conclusion ……………………………………………………………………… 29 References ………………………………………………………………………. 34 2 ABSTRACT Today’s Jewish community features very different demographics from previous generations’ due to large sections of the population being unaffiliated, non-observant, or “Modern Orthodox”. As a result, any efforts to reconnect the unaffiliated and/or reach these other segments of the community for spiritual direction and Torah education must be targeted in new strategic ways. This project employs both the scriptural and comedic knowledge of its author, Rabbi David Rotenberg, a semi-professional stand-up comic, to develop contemporary Torah insights targeted at a modern audience. The project focuses on lessons applicable to three of the 54 weekly portions of the Chumash (Five Books of Moses), Vayigash, Kedoshim, and Emor, each developed as an independent essay, although numerous additional relevant sources are also discussed. Each essay establishes an accepted understanding of the relevant Torah concepts, rooted in the text and traditional commentaries. This conventional thinking is then challenged with original questions, and comedic sources are introduced as a form of unorthodox commentary. The essays conclude by demonstrating a connection and revealing the newly-inspired message. 3 Through the substantive content yielded by the integration of humour sources with Biblical content, the original query – whether new Torah insights could be developed to appeal to a modern audience – can be answered in the affirmative.

Preparing a Dvar Torah
PREPARING A DVAR TORAH GUIDELINES AND RESOURCES Preparing a dvar Torah 1 Preparing a dvar Torah 2 Preparing a dvar Torah 1 MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE ASKED TO GIVE a dvar Torah don't know where to begin. Below are some simple guidelines and instructions. It is difficult to provide a universal recipe because there are many different divrei Torah models depending on the individual, the context, the intended audience and the weekly portion that they are dealing with! However, regardless of content, and notwithstanding differences in format and length, all divrei Torah share some common features and require similar preparations. The process is really quite simple- although the actual implementation is not always so easy. The steps are as follows: Step One: Understand what a dvar Torah is Step Two: Choose an issue or topic (and how to find one) Step Three: Research commentators to explore possible solutions Step Four: Organize your thoughts into a coherent presentation 1Dvar Torah: literallly, 'a word of Torah.' Because dvar means 'a word of...' (in the construct form), please don't use the word dvar without its necessary connected direct object: Torah. Instead, you can use the word drash, which means a short, interpretive exposition. Preparing a dvar Torah 3 INTRO First clarify what kind of dvar Torah are you preparing. Here are three common types: 1. Some shuls / minyanim have a member present a dvar Torah in lieu of a sermon. This is usually frontal (ie. no congregational response is expected) and may be fifteen to twenty minutes long. 2. Other shuls / minyanim have a member present a dvar Torah as a jumping off point for a discussion.

It is our intention that religious programs will promote positive values and moral practices to foster healthy relationships, especially within the families of those under our jurisdiction and within the communities to which they are returning. As a Department, we commit to providing religious as well as cultural opportunities for offenders within available resources, while maintaining facility security, safety, health and orderly operations. The Department will not endorse any religious faith or cultural group, but we will ensure that religious programming is consistent with the provisions of federal and state statutes, and will work hard with the Religious, Cultural and Faith Communities to ensure that the needs of the incarcerated community are fairly met.

This manual is intended to provide general guidelines, and define practice and procedure for Washington State Department of Corrections institutions. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Department policy. While it does not confer theological expertise, it will, provide correctional workers with the information necessary to respond too many of the religious concerns commonly encountered.

Upper School Recommended Summer Tanach Learning 2020-21
Upper School Recommended Summer Tanach Learning 2020-21 Maimonides School recognizes that student comfort with the full scope of our Tanach is an important part of their growing to become literate Jewish adults. A Maimonides graduate studies the entire Chumash, almost all of Neviim, and much of Ketuvim for that reason, ensuring that when our students mature to become Jewish adults, there is no aspect of their Judaism and its history, laws, and texts that is foreign or unknown to them. Judaic Studies summer reading is a way for your sons and daughters to continue reading the books they studied during the academic year. In most grades, students come close to completing a book or books during the school year. Summer reading ensures that any stories that weren’t covered in class are studied in the context of the rest of the book that they learned that year. Entering 9th Grade Students can use the summer to learn the remaining stories in Sefer Shemot (the golden calf and the building of the Mishkan) with their parents and families. The ninth grade Chumash curriculum begins with the start of Sefer Vayikra. The ninth grade Navi curriculum begins with the stories of Eliyahu in Melachim Alef, chapter 17. Students should have already reached that point in their regular Navi studies in eighth grade. Entering 10th Grade Students who did not finish their study of Sefer Vayikra in school this year can use the summer to make a Siyum on the book of Vayikra as they learn about how the Jews received the laws related to crafting an economic and moral Jewish society.

Middle School Curriculum Grades 6-8
Middle School Curriculum Grades 6-8 Farber Hebrew Day School’s Middle School Curriculum is predicated upon a philosophy of intellectual curiosity, academic exploration, and social-emotional maturation to prepare the students for a college preparatory high school program while furthering the goal of Modern Orthodoxy, to fully engage with the world through the lens of Torah, while reinforcing the connections to the land, people, and State of Israel. An Overview Chumash: Chumash is the basis for faith and identity in Judaism. Study of the written text given to our people by divine revelation provides the underpinnings to understand the beginnings of the Jewish people and their purpose. The Chumash forms the foundation of our legal and ethical system. Textual skills and critical thinking skills are emphasized. Students learn the structure of the sefer and each parasha’s place in the sefer. The exegetical methodology of Rashi is examined in depth. Appreciation of Midrash and its application to the interpretation of the text is explored. Comparisons with other exegetes such as Nachmanides, Ibn Ezra, and Seforno are introduced. Students are encouraged to extract meaning from the context of the book. By the end of Middle School, students should be able to: ➢ Summarize Biblical narrative ➢ Apply reading strategies to comprehend text ➢ Identify roots, prefixes and suffixes of new words ➢ Use dictionary meanings to understand roots of new words ➢ Use critical thinking skills to analyze and intuit the reason for a commentator’s explanation. Grade 6: Sefer Shemot Revelation, Law and Personal Responsibility Grade 7: Sefer Bemidbar The power of the narrative and the establishment of a tribal union Grade 8: Sefer Vayikra A Holy Nation: Internal and External manifestation Talmud: In the Middle School the students continue to build upon the foundations laid with the Bonayich Educational Services™ Mishna and Talmud course of study.

Epistemology of Tefila(Class 22) - 9/14/2020 —— Rosh Hashanah Mussaf Part 2
Epistemology of Tefila(Class 22) - 9/14/2020 —— Rosh Hashanah Mussaf part 2 Recap 1. The Mussaf of Rosh Hashanah has 9 brachot/blessings(Eliyahu Kitov, Vol 1, page 32). These three middle brachot for Rosh HaShannah are called: (i) Malchuyot(+Kedushat HaYom)/Kingship (ii) Zichronot/Remembrances (iii) Shofarot/Shofar Blasts 2. The order of the verses in each of the selections is as follows(Artscroll Rosh HaShannah Machzor page 452): 3 from The Torah/Chumash/Bible 3 from The Ketuvim/Writings/Psalms 3 from The Nevi’im/Prophets 1 last one from The Torah/Chumash/Bible 3. This makes the total of 10 verses for each section which we will discuss this class Class Strategy Hopefully all of you had some time to do your homework, I assigned you and hopefully by doing so you noticed how distinct the themes of (Kitov, Vol 1, page 33) 1. Malchuyot/Kingship 2. Zichronot/Remembrance 3. Shofarot/Shofar blasts So lets continue to discuss these sections. Firstly why did the Chazal/ Sages who wrote this section of the Tefila/prayer choose ten verses for Page 1 of 3 each section. Eliyahu Kitov(Vol 2 page 33 explains that it is because it was with 10 statements that Hashem created the world and became King over all the word. If you look in Bereishit/Genesis(1: 1 - 31) you will see that there are 10 direct quotes(“ “) of what HaShem said when He was creating the world so we establish his Kingship over the world by saying 10 verses in Malchuyot to remind us of Creation and HaShem’s role as King.

The Hatan Damim Episode: a Preamble to Yetziat Mitzrayim Mrs
The Hatan Damim Episode: A Preamble to Yetziat Mitzrayim Mrs. Rivkah Kahan Principal, Maayanot Yeshiva High School for Girls The episode of the hatan damim, told in three pesukim in the fourth perek of Sefer Shemot, is among the most enigmatic narrative sections of Humash. There are several technical as well as philosophical questions that arise from a preliminary reading of the story. In this article, my focus is on the latter: on understanding why Hashem acts as He does in these pesukim, and why this short narrative is placed as a prelude to the story of geulat Mitzrayim.38 The chief philosophical question that arises from the story of the hatan damim is why Hashem would seek to kill Moshe or his son39 for the delay in performing a brit milah. This poses a problem not only because the punishment seems excessively severe, but also because the hatan damim episode immediately follows Hashem’s protracted efforts to convince Moshe to accept the mission of redeeming Bnei Yisrael. It is therefore especially difficult to understand why Hashem would threaten to kill Moshe or his son just after Moshe has acceded, and has set out to Mitzrayim as Hashem’s shliach mitzvah. R. Yaakov Tzvi Mecklenburg, in his sefer Haketav Vehakabbalah, is so troubled by the difficulty of understanding why Hashem would mete out the death penalty in this context that he proposes a radical reinterpretation of the pesukim. He suggests that Hashem, in fact, did not seek to kill anyone in the story of the hatan damim. He suggests that “vayifgeshehu Hashem” (Shemot 4:24)
