Rabbi Goldstein is the first openly gay Masorti ​ (Conservative) pulpit rabbi in the State of Israel. On June 24th, just over a month after he spoke at Or Atid, I got an email from him with the subject line: “Fire at Adat Shalom-Emanuel - update.” This email update shared that on a Saturday night, firefighters had been called by a neighbor who saw flames coming from the upper floor of the synagogue, where their sanctuary is situated. Shortly after, members of their congregation were alerted and a few of them arrived, just as the fire had been put out. A fire investigator ruled out foul play, and it seemed that the fire had been caused by electrical issues. Rabbi Goldstein wrote: “Our main challenge right now is to find a suitable site for holding services this Shabbat. As usual, we have a Bat Mitzvah this ​ ​ Rosh Ha-Shanah 5780 Day Two 2 ​ Shabbat - and the next. Finding a place is not so easy. Most suitable halls are connected somehow to the municipality. Although people wish to help, they feel that their hands are tied because we are a Masorti kehillah [that is, a Conservative ​ ​ ​ ​ congregation].

In partnership with the National Council of Jewish Women, we represent a network of over 1,000 Rabbis and Jewish Clergy for Repro who have pledged to speak out about reproductive justice in our communities and to educate others about the Jewish values underpinning our support for abortion access for all. We are working to ensure that our communities are places where anyone who has, or may ever, terminate a pregnancy feels loved and welcomed, where people understand what our tradition teaches about these issues, and where we emphasize the importance of fighting for reproductive health, rights, and justice for everyone. The Women’s Health Protection Act embodies this mission and our hope for a future where all are free to make their own moral and faith-informed decisions about their lives, their futures, and their families without political interference.

    Haggadah Selections for Women’s Mini Seder 2020 Brought to you by NCJW Atlanta and Congregation Or Hadash March 26, 2020 A Different Seder Elaine Moise and Rebecca Schwartz, The Dancing with Miriam Haggadah, Palo Alto, CA, 1995 At all other Seders, we hear the stories of our forefathers, but the voices of our mothers are silent. Tonight they will be heard. At all other Seders the heroic deeds of our sisters Miriam, Yocheved, Shifrah and Pu’ah are kept hidden. Tonight we will celebrate their courage. At all other Seders we denounce the Pharaoh of the past. Tonight we will also examine the pharaohs of our own day. At all other Seders we rejoice only in our liberation as a people. Tonight we also celebrate our empowerment as Jewish women. Ready? Rabbi Rachel Barenblat, Velveteen Rabbi’s Haggadah for Pesach “So the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls wrapped in their cloaks upon their shoulders.” –Exodus 12:34 You’ll need to travel light. Take what you can carry: a book, a poem, a battered tin cup, your child strapped to your chest, clutching your necklace in one hot possessive fist. So the dough isn’t ready. So your heart isn’t ready. You haven’t said goodbye to the places where you hid as a child, to the friends who aren’t interested in the journey, to the graves you’ve tended. But if you wait until you feel fully ready you may never take the leap at all and Infinity is calling you forth out of this birth canal and into the future’s wide expanse.
  • Passover 5781 Seder Craft: Learn to Lead Your Own Seder Before We Begin for So Many of Us, This Passover Marks Our First “Second” Since Our World Changed Last March

    Passover 5781 Seder Craft: Learn to Lead Your Own Seder Before We Begin for So Many of Us, This Passover Marks Our First “Second” Since Our World Changed Last March

    Passover 5781 Seder Craft: Learn to Lead your Own Seder Before we begin For so many of us, this Passover marks our first “second” since our world changed last March. In a year filled with so much personal and communal loss and mourning, we may find ourselves wondering, what does it mean to celebrate our freedom? On Passover, we tell the story of our ancestors’ journey from slavery to freedom. The Hebrew word for Egypt - mitzrayim - is often understood to mean “a narrow place.” So in this journey from slavery to freedom, we celebrate leaving a place of narrowness, and finding a place of openness. This year, many of us may still feel that we are still in a narrow place. But the seder gives us the opportunity to imagine what it might be to leave that narrow place. As we light the holiday candles, we are invited to leave those narrow places - even just for this one night - and join our ancestors in celebrating the first taste of freedom. Lighting Holiday Candles Baruch atah, Adonai, Eloheinu melech haolam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav, v’tzivanu l’hadlik ner [shel Shabbat v’]shel yom tov. Blessed are you, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who makes us holy with the mitzvot (commandments), and commands us to light the candles of [Shabbat and] this holiday Blessing of the Children May you be like Ephraim and Menashe, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah. Yivarechecha Adonai v’yishmerecha May God bless you and protect you. Ya’er Adonai panav eilecha vichuneka May God show you favor and be gracious to you.
