  • Rosh Hashanah Jewish New Year
    ROSH HASHANAH JEWISH NEW YEAR “The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the Israelite people thus: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe complete rest, a sacred occasion commemorated with loud blasts. You shall not work at your occupations; and you shall bring an offering by fire to the LORD.” (Lev. 23:23-25) ROSH HASHANAH, the first day of the seventh month (the month of Tishri), is celebrated as “New Year’s Day”. On that day the Jewish people wish one another Shanah Tovah, Happy New Year. ש נ ָׁהָׁטוֹב ָׁה Rosh HaShanah, however, is more than a celebration of a new calendar year; it is a new year for Sabbatical years, a new year for Jubilee years, and a new year for tithing vegetables. Rosh HaShanah is the BIRTHDAY OF THE WORLD, the anniversary of creation—a fourfold event… DAY OF SHOFAR BLOWING NEW YEAR’S DAY One of the special features of the Rosh HaShanah prayer [ רֹאשָׁהַש נה] Rosh HaShanah THE DAY OF SHOFAR BLOWING services is the sounding of the shofar (the ram’s horn).

  • Rosh Hashanah Seder 5781 / 2020
    ROSH HASHANAH SEDER 5781 / 2020 Rabbi Alex Braver • Rabbi Sarit Horwitz Rabbi Sarah Krinsky • Rabbi Miriam Liebman Rabbi Daniel Novick • Rabbi Alex Salzberg Edited by Rabbi Mark Greenspan and Noam Kornsgold www.rabbinicalassembly.org Shanah Tovah, and welcome to Hit· adshut, a seder for Renewal of ourselves and the world. The 13th תִ ְכ ֶלה ׁשָ נָ ה ְו ְק ְל ֶלֹותיהָ A ot Ketanah carries the refrain ָאחָ ֹות ְק טַ ָ נ ה (century Spanish piyyut (liturgical poem loteha—let the year and her curses end. For so many in the world, individuals and׳tikhleh shanah v’kil communities, this past year has been a year of pain. We saw loved ones die, we saw communities cease to meet in person, and we saw the fabric of our lives drastically shift. All of us—ourselves, our families, our communities, our world—are in need of some hit· adshut, some renewal. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are holidays that we usually celebrate in their fullness in a synagogue community. We often see the same people, hear the same melodies, and connect to the same texts. Yet this year, many of us find ourselves not going to synagogue and not having the same High Holy Day experience we were expecting. Our hope is to provide an at-home experience to bridge the gap between what we usually do at shul and what we usually do at home. Our goal is to provide a user-friendly, interactive ritual for you to do at home with family and/or friends or over Zoom with a small group of others.

With deep roots nurturing new life, the congregation is a diverse mix of families and individuals of many backgrounds and many types of observance. How to use this companion: This companion has something for everyone and is intended to help all of us stay present and reflective--open to and focused on the spiritual renewal that’s available to us here and now. Keep this companion around: before, during, and in between the holidays. Flip through it when you’re inspired, bored, lost, or searching. Take a look at the sections on praying at home, the interpretive poetry for the season, or Rabbi Guy Austrian’s sermons. Use the transliterations to help you sing. Let the questions on the Torah and Haftarah readings serve as doorways into those sacred texts and opportunities to reflect on our lives. Also included are service outlines--both the complete service as normally done at FTJC, and a guided, streamlined service for the individual or family at home. Use the outlines to stay oriented along the arc of these days. How to use the machzor: Our machzor itself also has meaningful commentaries and stories below the line, as well as profound essays in the front. Let the prayers open up to you and open you up. and don’t worry much about maintaining a particular pace or saying every last word. Make space with silence, so that your own meditations, intentions, and personal prayers can emerge.

  • United Hebrew's 2021 High Holy Day Brochure
    We look forward to celebrating the High Holy Days with you—and are especially anticipating the opportunity to welcome our members (who are comfortable) to join us in the Millstone Sanctuary for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services. We are excited to again worship together as a community. Please be assured that we will also continue to provide outstanding virtual experiences throughout the entire High Holy Day period—from the start of Elul through Simchat Torah—welcoming all to participate. Over these past 16 months we hope you have appreciated the extraordi- nary efforts of our clergy, teachers and staff to rapidly adapt worship services, education, and programs to virtual and hybrid experiences, and how we created innovative ways to celebrate and observe life cycle events while adhering and adapting to ever-changing public health and government guidelines. For 184 years UH has provided meaningful Jewish worship and education for you, your families, and past generations of our historic congregation, during the holidays and throughout each year. Now we ask you to con- sider making a generous gift to our High Holy Day Appeal to help us raise the necessary funds to balance the financial needs of the congregation with what is received annually from membership dues. This will enable United Hebrew to remain strong for you and for generations to come. You may make your gift marked “HHD Appeal” using one of the four methods of payment listed here: • Check – mail to United Hebrew • PayPal – go to paypal.me/uhcstl • Venmo – @uhcstl • Website – www.unitedhebrew.org/giving On behalf of the clergy, staff, and Board of Trustees, we are deeply grateful for your gift, and wish you a good and sweet year.

  • The Yomim Nora'im, Days of Awe Or High Holy Days, Are Among
    The Yomim Nora’im, Days of Awe or High Holy Days, are among the most sacred times in the Jewish calendar. The period from Rosh HaShanah through Yom Kippur encompasses a time for reflection and renewal for Jews, both as individuals and as a community. In addition, throughout the world, and especially in American Jewish life, more Jews will attend services during these days than any other time of the year. The High Holy Days fall at a particularly important time for Jewish students on college campuses. Coming at the beginning of the academic year, they will often be a new student’s first introduction to the Jewish community on campus. Those students who have a positive experience are likely to consider attending another event or service, while those who do not feel comfortable or welcomed will likely not return again. Therefore, it is critical that both services and other events around the holidays be planned with a great deal of care and forethought. This packet is designed as a “how-to” guide for creating a positive, Reform High Holy Day experience on campus. It includes service outlines, program suggestions and materials, and sample text studies for leaders and participants. There are materials and suggestions for campuses of many varieties, including those which have separate Reform services – either led solely or in part by students – and those which only have one “communal” service. The program ideas include ways to help get people involved in the Jewish community during this time period whether or not they stay on campus for the holidays.

  • All High Holy Days – Shofar Calls
    This activity augments the Rodef Reads selection for 2018-2019, My Jewish Year by Abby Pogrebin. It is designed to support at-home family celebration of the Jewish holidays. Shofar Calls Most Jews associate the blowing of the shofar with the ram sent to Moses to sacrifice instead of Jacob. But the shofar and its calls have much more meaning. Many people believe that the shofar calls are intended to inspire people to mend their lives and repent. In the Rosh Hashanah service there are four calls: TE'KI'AH, SH’VA'RIM, TE'RU'AH, and TE'KI'AH GE'DO'LAH. In this activity, you will learn the meanings of the shofar calls and come up with some of your own. When to do this activity: Any time leading up to the High Holidays Preparation: You will need: • An internet-connected computer with sound • Optional -- A musical instrument and someone who knows how to play it. A brass or woodwind instrument is recommended, but you can use a piano or even a kazoo. The Activity: 1. Listen to the sounds of the shofar. Here are a few of the many available sites and YouTube videos: a. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jR20-0sy1Y b. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb0A_cPlHlk c. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73Qw4HZkZDw d. https://amenvamen.com/shofar-blowing-meaning/ 2. Find out what the four traditional sounds mean. Here are a few sites with good explanations. Read through a few and then discuss how they apply to our modern life.

  • 00:26:14.130 Marc Baker: Okay Erev Tov
    173 00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:14.130 Marc Baker: Okay Erev Tov. Good evening, everyone. And thank you so much for joining us tonight, this is awesome already. 174 00:26:14.610 --> 00:26:23.160 Marc Baker: My name is Marc Baker. I'm the President and CEO of Combined Jewish Philanthropies and while I wish we could be together in person. 175 00:26:23.550 --> 00:26:31.650 Marc Baker: This is just another example of the new ways that we are creating community and connection during this strange and challenging time. 176 00:26:32.580 --> 00:26:37.410 Marc Baker: For so many of us, the High Holidays are one of the most meaningful times of the year. 177 00:26:38.190 --> 00:26:49.680 Marc Baker: To come together in person with our whole community, with our families, for many of us. These are the days of the year when we attend synagogue, sometimes the only days of the year, kind of like a pilgrimage. 178 00:26:50.370 --> 00:26:59.610 Marc Baker: And for many of us, these are the days when we look forward to meals and time with family and friends and this year, for most of us, things are going to be different. 179 00:27:00.510 --> 00:27:14.670 Marc Baker: How we celebrate the High Holidays will be yet another disruption to our personal lives, our ritual lives, our community, to the rhythm of the Jewish year that forms are Jewish memory and shapes our identities.
