PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PRESS OF THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. PREFACE Appearing at a time when our country is at war, this volume has had to be considerably reduced in size as compared with those of recent years, because of the rise in printing costs and the necessity of economizing in materials. The section containing the monthly calendars regularly appearing at the beginning of the volume is this year expanded to include brief descriptions of the Jewish Holy Days, Festivals and Fasts as well as tables of abridged calendars for fifty years. For these additional features, as well as for the monthly calendars prepared annually, the Editor is indebted to Dr. Julius H. Greenstone, whose valuable contribution will, we trust, make this section more useful and meaningful to those who consult the YEAR BOOK for informa- tion on the Jewish calendar. Of the five special articles in this volume two deal with American Jews who passed away during the year, while three commemorate significant cultural landmarks in Jewish life.

Once, while recovering from surgery, Rabbi Elazar Kenig mentioned that he hoped to complete the Rebbe’s Sippurei Ma’asiyos before Rosh Hashanah. This is an example of how we must adjust our goals to our abilities and circumstances at every stage of life, and how more modest avodahs are also meaningful. * * * Breslover Chassidim recite Psalm 27 LeDovid( HaShem Ori) immediately after Tachanun, or after Shemoneh Esreh when there is no Tachanun, prior to Kaddish.

  • Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah Releases Kol Korei
    Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah Releases Kol Korei May 9, 2021 Agudath Israel of America, today, shared a Kol Korei from the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America: You can download the Kol Korei here. A Letter from the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah: (Free Translation): 29 Iyar 5781 The day which transformed – from joy to grief, from festivity to mourning, from the great light of the celebration of the tanna Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai to darkness – Lag B’omer, is etched in our minds, and the memory of our deceased brothers will not depart from our hearts. We are obligated to feel the pain of the grieving families; let all Jews weep over the destruction Hashem has seen fit to perform. Additionally, “A person who observes misfortune happening to him should examine his deeds.” (Berachos 5a) When that misfortune comes in the guise of suffering for our entire community, it is certain that we must examine our public’s deeds and actions. “Let us search our ways and inspect them, and return to Hashem.” (Eichah 3:40) We, too, join with the holy call of the Torah leaders in Eretz Yisroel to hold a worldwide day of prayer and crying on Tuesday, Yom Kippur Katan, Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan. May the Healer of broken hearts heal our breaches; may He send consolation to the mourning families and healing to those who were injured. May He accept our prayers with mercy and may we not hear of further catastrophe in our communities. Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America.

  • Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah Kol Korei: Ki Am Kadosh Atah
    Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah Kol Korei: Ki Am Kadosh Atah February 9, 2021 Download (PDF, 491KB) Agudath Israel of America, today, shared a Kol Korei from the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America, as the Covid-19 pandemic continues. At the time of Agudas Yisroel’s founding in Katowitz in 1912, it established a body known as the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, consisting of gedolim from across Europe to stand at the helm of the movement. It has always been the hallmark of the Agudah, whether in pre-war Europe or post-war America, that its policies have been guided by the words of the Moetzes. The Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America has steered, advised, and guided American Orthodox Jewry through the challenges of Galus America for some three- quarters of a century, and continues to do so today. 27 Shevat, 5781 “Spring has passed and summer is over – we have not yet been saved.” (Yirmiyah 8:20) Thousands of our fellow Jews, among them Torah giants and tzaddikim, have been afflicted with the terrible COVID-19 disease, and – may Hashem help us! – many of those have passed away. The pandemic has greatly diminished the Torah learning in our yeshivos, Bais Yaakovs, and shuls; it has curtailed our Yomim Tovim and celebrations. It is clear that there is upon our nation an appeal from Heaven to correct our ways. Every person must examine his behavior and strengthen whatever may be lacking. But, in addition to that, the public – as a tzibbur – must examine its collective actions and lifestyle. We therefore feel it important to bring up a fundamental and broad point on which the public should now focus.

  • Rosh Chodesh
    Understanding Rosh Chodesh Rosh Chodesh, the celebration of the beginning of each month in the Jewish calendar, has blossomed into a celebration of women and femininity. While Rosh Chodesh exists as a women’s holiday in traditional Jewish sources, the connection has been made much stronger with the emergence of the women’s movement, and the establishment of women’s Rosh Chodesh groups. There is no one way to celebrate Rosh Chodesh and there are no rules for establishing a Rosh Chodesh group. At the core, it should be comprised of women who gather on a monthly basis to celebrate the new month and their lives as Jewish women. The following resource guide is made to help facilitate the formation and monthly meetings of Rosh Chodesh groups on campus. History of Rosh Chodesh The Jewish Calendar Central to Judaism is the Jewish calendar. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, the Jewish calendar is lunar. Months and holidays are based on the 29 ½-day lunar cycle. While the Jewish calendar is lunar, it is also coordinated with the solar calendar. Many Jewish holidays have agricultural roots which means that they must fall during a particular season. Passover, for example, is also called Chag ha-Aviv, or the “Spring Holiday.” Sukkot marks the harvest festival and must occur during the fall. To compensate for the fact that the lunar year is 11 days shorter than the solar calendar, the Rabbis developed a way to include an extra month in the year to ensure that the months fell in their proper season. The calendar is so central to Judaism that it is the first commandment the Jews were given as a nation.

    “Personal Reflection” Erev Rosh Hashanah Alternative Service Sermonette Cantor Allen Leider September 16, 2012/29 Elul, 5772 Tonight begins a ten day period of self-reflection – aseret y’mei t’shuvah – the Ten Days of doing T’shuvah. “T’shuvah” is often translated as “repentance,” but at its core, it means “return”. T’shuvah is a multi-stepped process that includes reflecting on our lives and thinking about where we’ve “missed the mark,” admitting that we’ve made mistakes, apologizing to others and to God, and acting in a better way. Through t’shuvah, we’re returning to God through ethical living, we’re returning to the best of our authentic selves, we’re returning to a deeper understanding of our place in the world, and, we’re returning to the synagogue – at least for those who haven’t been there for a while. Why do you think they call it the “hi” holy days? However we define “return,” we can’t do t’shuvah unless we begin with meaningful reflection. The prayers of our services help us towards that end, but can we really reflect meaningfully on our behavior from an entire year? On a certain level it is possible. We can take a cue from the election rhetoric and ask ourselves, “Are we better off now than we were a year ago?” We can assess our relationships with those we care about and ask ourselves if we’re doing enough towards tikkkun olam – repairing the world around us. Here’s the catch, at least for me – I can’t remember what I had for lunch yesterday, let alone the myriad of interactions I’ve had with people over the past year.

  • Six Months Ago, the World Was a Different Place. in Jewish Circles, We Had Just Celebrated Purim and Were Making Our Plans to Celebrate
    Six months ago, the world was a different place. In Jewish circles, we had just celebrated Purim and were making our plans to celebrate Pesach: We were arranging Seders, figuring out who was coming to whose house, working on travel plans, making food lists, and thinking about cleaning our houses. At Or Atid, we had great plans for our congregational 2nd Seder. It was going to be a fully in-house Seder, sponsored by, and prepared by, our own members. And then we had to shut everything down. Travel was cancelled, family and communal Seders were scrapped, and cleaning our houses took on a whole new meaning. The Seder is the most celebrated Jewish home-ritual, with the biggest at-home gatherings of any Jewish holiday. Liberal Jews adapted Pesach, creating large family Seders over Zoom. It was obviously not ideal, but we found ways to be connected, even as we were forced to be distanced. Our 2nd night Seder became an interactive Zoom experience from our individual homes. It was wonderful to see those dozen boxes on my computer screen, in which nearly 25 people celebrated our journey from slavery to freedom together. To echo my sentiments from yesterday’s sermon, I imagined previous Seders in the Jewish experience, like the one in the Warsaw Ghetto, where the Jews gathered underground with a piece of bread, the night before they revolted against the Nazis, or during times of persecution in Medieval Europe, where Jews feared an attack by local Christians because of the libelous accusation that Jews used the blood of Christian children to make matzah.
