Stories We Pray Sample nce again, Grishaver has entered into new territory. His challenge is to tell the story of a prayer — not a o midrash on a prayer, but a deeply spiritual essence about the ‘why’ of a prayer. And why not? He’s been challenging us his whole career! Rabbi Stuart Kelman is Founding Rabbi at Congregation Netivot Shalom in Berkeley, CA his is a many-splendored mosaic book. Reading it takes me on a wondrous journey through the prayer service t like a reverse archeological dig. Joel Grishaver explains and enlightens each section of prayer through incorporating stories, some humorous, some poignant, that add layers of meaning and bring creative connections from these prayers and rituals to our immediate life. This is truly the Jewish way of teaching, learning and remembering. As a responsible storyteller, Gris notes the story’s sources at the end of each story. L’chaim!

  • Erev Rosh Hashanah 5780 by Rabbi Debbie Stiel
    Erev Rosh Hashanah 5780 By Rabbi Debbie Stiel Aging Well: The Stories We Tell Ourselves and the Company We Keep Another year has gone by. And another one is starting. The years seem to come and go with increasing speed! And you and I don’t get any younger! Aging brings out a certain philosophical quality in many of us. We start to think about the days we have had and those left to us – especially when those remaining are fewer than those that we have had. It becomes natural to ask – ‘how might we best approach the time that remains to us?’ The famous Rabbi -Hillel taught us to think of both ourselves and others – “im ain ani li mi li, uchshani l‘atzmi ma ani. If I am not for myself who am I and if I am only for myself what am I.” This holy season is a good opportunity to ask ourselves both -am I doing what I need to for myself and am I helping others? Often, we focus on the altruistic second part. Tonight, I would like to focus on the first part of this equation. What can we do for ourselves to live life in a way in which we feel nourished, balanced, supported, resilient? First –we might wonder, why even ask this question? Aren’t we all feeling nurtured, positive, loved, hopeful most of the time? If you look on social media or watch the red carpet – you might think so! But the truth is that life is often challenging and even painful.

"Prayer can be electric and alive! Prayer can touch the soul, burst forth a creative celebration of the spirit and open deep wells of gratitude, longing and praise. Prayer can connect us to our Living Source and to each other, enfolding us in love and praise, wonder and gratitude, awe and thankfulness. Jewish prayer in its essence is soul dialogue and calls us into relationship within and beyond. Through the power of words and melodies both ancient and new, we venture into realms of deep emotion and find longing, sorrow ,joy, hope, wholeness, connection and peace. When guided by skilled leaders of prayer and ritual, our complacency is challenged. We break through outworn assumptions about God and ourselves, and emerge refreshed and inspired to meet the challenges OUr lives offer." (-from the DLTI brochure, by Rabbis Marcia Prager and Shawn Israel Zevit) This Siddur was created as a vehicle to explore how traditional and novel approaches to Jewish prayer can blend, so that the experience of Jewish prayer can be renewed, revitalized and deepened.

  • Shofar Quarterly Magazine
    SHOFAR QUARTERLY MAGAZINE rpua Winter 2018 | 5779 For this winter edition of the Shofar, we continue our year-long theme, “The world stands on Torah, Avodah and Gemilat Chesed,” by focusing on Avodah. In modern Hebrew, Avodah means work. In Biblical times, it refers to sacrificial worship. For the rabbis of this teaching, it means prayer. Prayer is an offering of our heart, an expression of our gratitude, our praise, our contrition, our dreams and desires. In that way, prayer is a pillar of our world and a central focus of what we do at Beth El. Heart Healthy. Heart Holy. By Rabbi Alexander Davis Recently, a study published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology indicates that wearing to tefillin can reduce heart disease. “People who wear tefillin in either the short or long-term, recorded a measurable positive effect on their blood flow. That has been associated with better outcomes in heart disease,” said Dr. Jack Rubinstein, a cardiologist and associate professor at the University of Cincinnati, who co-authored the study. Those who wear tefillin have better blood flow; the tight wrapping creates a type of preconditioning that offers protection against “acute ischemic reperfusion injury.” I’m not a doctor so I have no idea what those words mean! But as a rabbi, I concur: tefillin are good for the heart. That’s a lesson I only learned later in life. Growing up, I didn’t know anything about tefillin. I never saw my father or grandfather wear them. I didn’t receive a pair as a hand-me- Tefillin are down for my bar mitzvah.

  • Ohio Valley's RCVP Network Packet!
    Ohio Valley’s RCVP Network Packet! Created by Emma Zelkind, the RCVP of NFTY’s Ohio Valley 2018-2019 with the help of past NFTY and RCVP’s resources. In order to reach me: Phone number: (513)-444-5812 Email: [email protected] ​ Twitter: ov_rcvp Instagram: emma_zelkind Snapchat: emma_zelkind Dear RCVP’s for the 5778-5779 year, Hey! And welcome to your RCVP network (it’s an awesome one)! It is important to remember that we are all here since we are Jewish and that it is what connects all of us together. With this in mind it it is our job as RCVP’s to ask the question “what about this program is Jewish?” Amd if there isn’t one it is our jobs to create one. This packet, throughout the year, will aid you in doing so. You will need to put in work in order to create amazing programs, but trust me when you see your impact on the Jewish teens around you, you will know that it was all worth it! Since we only have a handful of regional events every year it is all of your jobs to make sure that NFTY makes a huge impact throughout the year! An RCVP’s job is to not only plan amazing and unique service and cultural programs, but to find a religious connection to every program that you TYG creates. You will find that even though there are so many amazing values in judaism you might find a program that doesn’t fit into a specific Jewish value, but that is okay! Continue working with your board on the rest of the programs to find their Jewish components.

In our transliteration, when the syllable falls somewhere else other than the last syllable, that stressed syllable will be underlined. Example: Melech. Hebrew Rules The following are some of the Hebrew rules you may notice in our siddurim (connection books). In Hebrew, the accent generally falls on the last syllable, however it sometimes falls Kjl¤ n«¤ somewhere else in the word. Whenever a syllable other than the last is accented, a “meteg” (the vertical line under the first letter) will appear. The “masoret” above the letter Chaf indicates that this is a Kamatz Katan, which is lkǨ pronounced as “o”; in this example the word is “kol.” The “rafe” above a letter indicates it is a Shva Na.

  • Grade Objectives
    The following are the learning objectives approved for the Religious School. In addition to these learning objectives, we have many other parts of our school program such as our Music program, Mensch character recognition, Clergy in the Classroom, Shabbat and holiday programs, mitzvah trips, Family programs, etc. The objectives below do not state HOW the teacher presents this material (such as our Hebrew Through Movement program to introduce the language). It also does not explicitly state the Jewish values that are infused in our whole school and modeled by our teachers, teen madrichim, and fellow classmates. Although we often share our love of Judaism as a whole way of life, the learning objectives are divided into the following topics: Judaic Basics *Demonstrate mitzvot(commandments) and middot(values) of Judaism, making choices based on Jewish ethics and values *Identify central themes and ethical messages within the Torah and integrate them into our lives *Explore personal relationship with G-d and with Jewish community *Identify religious texts and basic Jewish religious thoughts and practices Hebrew: * Value Hebrew as the language that binds the Jewish people together through generations, as the language of the Torah and our siddur, and as the language of modern Israel *Be comfortable reading from the siddur *Translate key Hebrew prayer vocabulary *Develop a solid foundation of modern Hebrew vocabulary Prayer: *Understand why we pray and to whom we are praying *develop kavanah (intent/spirit) * Pray with comprehension, by understanding
