The preparations for the Passover Seder meal, I am often told by those cooking the meal, are arduous. Setting the table for guests, preparing the festival meal, ensuring that the Seder plate has its special symbolic foods from charoset to salt water to maror, Passover is a holiday associated with planning and preparation. Our rabbis reinforce this message of necessary planning if we are to observe the dietary imperatives of Passover. According to our sages and adhering to the stringent biblical mandate that requires us to “make leaven cease from our houses,” they created a strict process to ensure the fulfillment of this imperative. To help guarantee the removal of chametz, food products unfit for Passover from our homes, the Talmudic sages not only decreed (Pesachim 29b) that any food with leavening still remaining in our homes are forever forbidden for consumption, but they also instructed that food fit for Passover, even if contaminated by chametz only to the proportion of one/sixtieth, made the item entirely inedible! The first step in “making leaven cease” from our homes is called “bedikat” chametz, the “search” for chametz. While Biblical law simply requires the “bitul,” the simple annulment of chametz, and not necessarily the removal (Pesachim 4b), the stringency of the Torah was for the rabbis an opportunity add additional observances and this is exactly what they did with the “search” for chametz. Just prior to the beginning of Passover, the rabbis instructed that the home be searched by candlelight, which enabled a thorough search of the cracks and crevices in the home. Once the chametz was gathered, it was to be burned. In this fashion, and with an additional blessing annulling ownership of any chametz not seen, chametz was made to “cease from our houses.” While the emphasis on Passover preparation is primarily depicted in rabbinic literature as the physical removal of the chametz, the rabbis did not overlook the spiritual ramifications of chametz removal.They were quick to teach that chametz, representing the impure, must clearly be removed from the house, but remind us that spiritual chametz, those negative inclinations, also be eliminated from our lives. Clearing out these spiritual impurities, making these “cease” from our lives, was for our sages a component of Passover observance that was not to be ignored. Can we be truly free, can we experience the redemption of Passover if we are enslaved by hatred, by detrimental behaviors, by attitudes that make us suspicious of others? Can we be free if we refuse to jettison the spiritual impurities that perpetuate family fractures? Can we be free if we cling to ideas that hinder our growth as human beings? Smugness, detrimental memories, greed, gossip, bitterness and the desire for retribution, blaming others for our inability to be successful or fulfilled—this spiritual chametz needs to be eradicated, this chametz needs to “cease” if Passover is to be properly observed and personal freedom realized. As we begin the process of searching our homes for unwanted chametz, we traditionally recite the blessing, “Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the Universe, who has commanded us concerning the removal of chametz.” The search for chametz in our homes is an integral part of our Passover commemoration. More important, though, is making sure that we observe the command to do the difficult work of searching for and removing the spiritual chametz that keeps us chained to everything that is deleterious in life.

  • Chassidus on the Chassidus on the Parsha +
    LIGHTS OF OUR RIGHTEOUS TZADDIKIM בעזרת ה ' יתבר A Tzaddik, or righteous person , makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) SH EVI’I SHEL PESACH _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah Shevi’i Shel Pesach – Kerias Yam Suf Walking on Dry Land Even in the Sea “And Bnei Yisrael walked on dry land in the sea” (Shemos 14:29) How can you walk on dry land in the sea? The Noam Elimelech , in Likkutei Shoshana , explains this contradictory-sounding pasuk as follows: When Bnei Yisrael experienced the Exodus and the splitting of the sea, they witnessed tremendous miracles and unbelievable wonders. There are Tzaddikim among us whose h earts are always attuned to Hashem ’s wonders and miracles even on a daily basis; they see not common, ordinary occurrences – they see miracles and wonders. As opposed to Bnei Yisrael, who witnessed the miraculous only when they walked on dry land in the sp lit sea, these Tzaddikim see a miracle as great as the “splitting of the sea” even when walking on so -called ordinary, everyday dry land! Everything they experience and witness in the world is a miracle to them. This is the meaning of our pasuk : there are some among Bnei Yisrael who, even while walking on dry land, experience Hashem ’s greatness and awesome miracles just like in the sea! This is what we mean when we say that Hashem transformed the sea into dry land. Hashem causes the Tzaddik to witness and e xperience miracles as wondrous as the splitting of the sea, even on dry land, because the Tzaddik constantly walks attuned to Hashem ’s greatness and exaltedness.

  • Hasidic Judaism - Wikipedia, the Freevisited Encyclopedi Ona 1/6/2015 Page 1 of 19
    Hasidic Judaism - Wikipedia, the freevisited encyclopedi ona 1/6/2015 Page 1 of 19 Hasidic Judaism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sephardic pronunciation: [ħasiˈdut]; Ashkenazic , תודיסח :Hasidic Judaism (from the Hebrew pronunciation: [χaˈsidus]), meaning "piety" (or "loving-kindness"), is a branch of Orthodox Judaism that promotes spirituality through the popularization and internalization of Jewish mysticism as the fundamental aspect of the faith. It was founded in 18th-century Eastern Europe by Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov as a reaction against overly legalistic Judaism. His example began the characteristic veneration of leadership in Hasidism as embodiments and intercessors of Divinity for the followers. [1] Contrary to this, Hasidic teachings cherished the sincerity and concealed holiness of the unlettered common folk, and their equality with the scholarly elite. The emphasis on the Immanent Divine presence in everything gave new value to prayer and deeds of kindness, alongside rabbinical supremacy of study, and replaced historical mystical (kabbalistic) and ethical (musar) asceticism and admonishment with Simcha, encouragement, and daily fervor.[2] Hasidism comprises part of contemporary Haredi Judaism, alongside the previous Talmudic Lithuanian-Yeshiva approach and the Sephardi and Mizrahi traditions. Its charismatic mysticism has inspired non-Orthodox Neo-Hasidic thinkers and influenced wider modern Jewish denominations, while its scholarly thought has interested contemporary academic study. Each Hasidic Jews praying in the Hasidic dynasty follows its own principles; thus, Hasidic Judaism is not one movement but a synagogue on Yom Kippur, by collection of separate groups with some commonality. There are approximately 30 larger Hasidic Maurycy Gottlieb groups, and several hundred smaller groups. Though there is no one version of Hasidism, individual Hasidic groups often share with each other underlying philosophy, worship practices, dress (borrowed from local cultures), and songs (borrowed from local cultures).

  • Women and Hasidism: a “Non-Sectarian” Perspective
    Jewish History (2013) 27: 399–434 © The Author(s) 2013. This article is published DOI: 10.1007/s10835-013-9190-x with open access at Springerlink.com Women and Hasidism: A “Non-Sectarian” Perspective MARCIN WODZINSKI´ University of Wrocław, Wrocław, Poland E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Hasidism has often been defined and viewed as a sect. By implication, if Hasidism was indeed a sect, then membership would have encompassed all the social ties of the “sectari- ans,” including their family ties, thus forcing us to consider their mothers, wives, and daughters as full-fledged female hasidim. In reality, however, women did not become hasidim in their own right, at least not in terms of the categories implied by the definition of Hasidism as a sect. Reconsideration of the logical implications of the identification of Hasidism as a sect leads to a radical re-evaluation of the relationship between the hasidic movement and its female con- stituency, and, by extension, of larger issues concerning the boundaries of Hasidism. Keywords Hasidism · Eastern Europe · Gender · Women · Sectarianism · Family Introduction Beginning with Jewish historiography during the Haskalah period, through Wissenschaft des Judentums, to Dubnow and the national school, scholars have traditionally regarded Hasidism as a sect. This view had its roots in the earliest critiques of Hasidism, first by the mitnagedim and subsequently by the maskilim.1 It attributed to Hasidism the characteristic features of a sect, 1The term kat hahasidim (the sect of hasidim)orkat hamithasedim (the sect of false hasidim or sanctimonious hypocrites) appears often in the anti-hasidic polemics of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Tzadik is also the root of the word tzedakah ('charity', literally 'righteousness'). The term tzadik "righteous", and its associated meanings, developed in Rabbinic thought from its Talmudic contrast with hasid ("pious" honorific), to its exploration in Ethical literature, and its esoteric spiritualisation in Kabbalah. Since the late 17th century, in Hasidic Judaism, the institution of the mystical tzadik as a divine channel assumed central importance, combining popularization of (hands- on) Jewish mysticism with social movement for the first time.[1] Adapting former Kabbalistic theosophical terminology, Hasidic thought internalised mystical Joseph interprets Pharaoh's Dream experience, emphasising deveikut attachment to its Rebbe leadership, who embody (Genesis 41:15–41).

  • CANTORS BANTER Newsletter No 5 June 2014 European Cantors Association (ECA) Sivan 5774
    CANTORS BANTER Newsletter No 5 June 2014 European Cantors Association (ECA) Sivan 5774 Welcome to the World of Synagogue Music Dear Friends, Welcome to the latest edition of the ECA Newsletter, produced in honour of the festival of Shavuot. I hope that you will find it to be both inspiring and informative. In this edition we take a look at the role that music plays in our synagogue lives, focusing in particular on the ‘Umipnei Chatoeinu’ prayer, a festival prayer that has lent itself to some very well-known Cantorial masterpieces. I have also included an obituary for the legendary Chazzan David Werdyger, whose life story itself is profoundly inspirational and whose contribution to Jewish music is unparalleled in the post-war era. To portray his proficiency in both the worlds of Cantorial and Chassidic music I have attached his famous masterpiece Shema Yisroel as well as his recording of Talmud’s Chassidic composition of Lo Tevoshi from the Friday Evening Service. Finally, the ECA is looking forward to holding its annual convention in Budapest, the magnificent Hungarian capital. Booking is open and your attendance is highly recommended. Shavuot is of course the time that we received the Torah at Sinai. Throughout Jewish history the Torah has not been read as prose; rather it has been chanted as song. The verses in the synagogue are intoned melodically according to the appropriate leyning notes; the Mishnah and Talmud are meditated upon and memorized using the ‘learning steiger’ and even studies in ethics have their particular tunes in the study halls of the Yeshiva World.
