KOL NIDREI BY BEN AVRAM

ROSH HASHANAH: Apple & Honey: Dipping a piece of apple September 17–18 into honey at the first meal of Rosh Hashanah is a popular custom, symbolizing Rosh Hashanah celebrates the beginning of the hope that our new year will be blessed creation, when G-d gave breath to human with sweetness and goodness. For the same beings. On this day, G-d charged Adam with reason, it is customary to eat other sweet the responsibility of helping the world reach foods, such as tzimmes. perfection. Rosh Hashanah, therefore, is a time for us to reflect on the purpose of FAST OF GEDALIA: creation and resolve to make our lives more September 19 meaningful by contributing to all of creation. This fast day commemorates the tragic The Shofar: On Rosh Hashanah we hear the assassination of Gedalia, the Jewish sounding of the shofar, the ram’s horn. It is Governor of Judea who was installed over the the oldest and most soulful of wind country after Nebuchadnezzar’s invasion of instruments, sounding like a primal outcry Israel (and the subsequent Babylonian from the depth of the soul. The sounding of exile). the shofar has many meanings. It heralds a special occasion, signifying that we proclaim YOM KIPPUR: G-d as King of the universe. Its thrilling blasts awaken us to repent and return to G-d September 26 and remind us of the shofar heard at Mount Yom Kippur is a 25-hour fast beginning at Sinai when we accepted G-d’s sunset on September 25th, and continuing commandments for all time. through nightfall the following night.

JEWISH JOY BY BEN AVRAM

SUKKOT: October 1–7

The Festival of Sukkot is observed through the performance of three mitzvot:

Sukkah: For the duration of the holiday it is a mitzvah to eat in a Sukkah, a temporary hut covered by loose tree branches.

Lulav & Etrog: Each day of the festival (except on Shabbat) we take the “four (plant) species” and shake them together.

Joy: The overarching mitzvah of Sukkot is joy. When our Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, there was continuous celebration for all seven days of Sukkot! Men and women, young and old would join in music, dancing, juggling, and other entertainments.

SHEMINI ATZERET/ SIMCHAT TORAH: October 8–9

On the evening of Simchat Torah (in some communities, on the eve of as well) great celebrations take place in the synagogue, focusing on the Jew’s connection to the holy Torah. Children play a central role in the festivities, waving flags and riding on their parents’ shoulders. On Simchat Torah day the yearly cycle of Torah reading is completed and the cycle begins anew. We express this joy with ongoing singing and dancing with the Torah scrolls.

AKEIDA BY BEN AVRAM

MITZVAH SPOTLIGHT: The Mezuzah

The mezuzah, a scroll on which a portion of the Torah is written, signifies the sanctity of the Jewish home. It contains the section of the Shema that includes the basic principles of Jewish faith and practice. A mezuzah is placed on the entrances of the home to reflect the holiness of the home that one is about to enter. The decorative case makes the mezuzah more beautiful, but a case without a mezuzah is like the wrapper without the candy. A mezuzah is made in the same manner as the Torah itself: handwritten on sacred parchment in Torah script by an ordained and dedicated scribe who carefully follows the 4649 laws governing its 713 letters and 22 lines. When you purchase a mezuzah for yourself or as a gift, be sure to ascertain its validity.

The mezuzah is affixed: 1. On the right doorpost as one enters the house. 2. In a slanted position with the top pointed toward the inside of the room. 3. In the upper third of the doorpost height.

The mezuzah is seen as a special blessing of safety for all who dwell in this particular home, wherever they may be. Since a mezuzah is usually on the doorpost outside the home, exposed to inclement weather conditions and the heat of the sun, it is important to have it checked regularly.

ARK BY BEN AVRAM

CHANUKAH: December 9–16

Chanukah celebrates the miraculous victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian-Greek armies. When the Jewish nation recaptured the Beit Hamikdash, the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, they found a little jug with just enough oil to light the menorah for one day. Miraculously, the oil burned for eight days until more arrived. To commemorate this miracle, we light the menorah (preferably with olive oil) for the eight days of Chanukah, and we savor traditional foods, such as potato latkes, fried in oil.

The Menorah: The lit menorah dramatizes and publicizes the Chanukah miracle. Therefore, we light the menorah at night when it shines brightest (except on Friday, when it is lit before sunset) and we put it in a doorway or window so passersby can share the light of the menorah. All family members should participate in this beautiful ceremony of light. We involve the children by customarily distributing Chanukah gelt. On the eve of the first day of Chanukah we light one candle on the menorah, adding one more candle each night until eight are lit on the night of December 15th. The candles are placed from right to left and are lit from left to right, beginning with the newest candle. Olive oil or paraffin candles provide the light of the menorah. There must be enough oil or candle length to burn WWW. AVIRAMART.COM until 1/2 hour after nightfall. A shamash is used to light the candles and is then placed in its designated holder on the menorah. After the teaching their children the sacred teachings. When inspectors arrived to make for communal meals to be arranged during the days of Chanukah. Friends who candles are lit, the Haneiros Halalu prayer is sure the law was being upheld, the children would quickly hide their books quarreled during the year become reconciled at these meals. recited and the family often gathers together to and begin playing with their tops. Miracles: In a very real sense, the Chanukah miracles of old are re-enacted in eat latkes and play dreidel. The Chanukah Party: Although festive meals are not prescribed for the days our observance today. That is one reason why we say, in the second blessing The Dreidel: The custom of dreidel (tops) playing of Chanukah, many follow the custom of investing the Chanukah meals with a recited over the Chanukah lights, “Blessed are You... who wrought miracles for dates back to the time when the Chanukah miracle special atmosphere of rejoicing. This can be done by discussing Jewish themes our ancestors, in those days, at this time.” By reflecting upon the significance occurred. At that time Jews were forbidden to and recounting the miracles performed for Israel so as to make the meals into of the Chanukah miracles, we can see, with ever-increasing clarity, the study the Torah. But this did not stop them from festive meals. It is customary among the Sephardic communities in Jerusalem miraculous dimension of events in our own time. 138 Santa Fe Calendar_Layout 1 8/2/2012 11:35 AM Page 11

JERUSALEM GATE BY BEN AVRAM

TU B’SHVAT: January 26

Jewish tradition regards the 15th day of Shvat as the New Year of the Trees, the season when trees begin to bud in the Holy Land of Israel. Just as Rosh Hashanah, the New Year for Creation, is viewed as the day on which man is judged, Tu B’Shvat is a day of judgment for earth’s vegetation. To commemorate this special day, Jews throughout the world eat foods that are distinctive to and characteristic of the Holy Land, including the seven types of fruits and grain mentioned in the Torah: wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates. A new seasonal fruit is customarily eaten on this day for the first time. The blessings Shecheyanu and Ha’eitz are said over the fruit. The Torah states: “For man is the tree of the field.” There are many lessons to be learned from this metaphor. One lesson, particularly relevant on Tu B’Shvat when we celebrate through eating fruits is: Just as a healthy tree bears fruits, so should one strive to produce fruits in his life. These “fruits” are the good deeds and mitzvot that we do to bring spiritual nourishment to those around us. Furthermore, not every tree bears the same fruit. In addition to our common mitzvot and responsibilities, we each have a special role to play in making the world a beautiful garden

KING DAVID BY BEN AVRAM

SHAVUOT: May 15–16

Shavuot marks the day of the giving of the Torah by G-d to the entire Jewish nation over 3,300 years ago. In Hebrew, the word shavuot means “weeks” and stands for the seven weeks during which the Jewish people prepared themselves for the giving of the Torah. During this time they rid themselves of the scars of bondage and became a holy nation ready to stand before G-d. The giving of the Torah was a far-reaching event that touched the essence of the Jewish soul, then and for all time. Our sages have compared it to a wedding between G-d and the Jewish people: He became our G-d and we accepted the responsibilities of this unique relationship. The Torah, as a marriage contract, spells out the terms of this relationship. It is customary to decorate one’s home with flowers to remind us of the flowers that blossomed on Mount Sinai when the Torah was given. Another very delicious custom is to eat dairy foods during this festival. Shavuot is an appropriate time to rededicate ourselves to our precious heritage. Many make a point of attending the Shavuot Torah reading with all members of the family, young and old—even newborn children.

TRAVELLING ARK BY BEN AVRAM

THE NIGUN

Nigun: (ni-gun) n., plural: nigunim, a song of the Kabbalistic/Chassidic tradition, generally without words. Considered a path to higher consciousness and transformation of being.

• “If words are the pen of the heart,” taught Rabbi Schneur Zalman of , “then song is the pen of the soul.” The soul’s pen, however, writes in the opposite direction from the heart’s. While words carry light downwards from the Primal Consciousness to the minds of sages and the lips of prophets to inscribe them upon human hearts, song carries the soul upwards to be absorbed within the Infinite Light.

That is why nigunim generally have no words. Words limit and define, but the nigun tears the soul beyond all bounds. Beyond words.

• The parts of a nigun are called “gates” — entrances from one spiritual world to a higher one. Each “gate” demands not only new breath but a new state of consciousness. The fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Sholom Dovber, taught, “Each gate must be repeated twice. The first time only traces a form, the second time carves deep into the soul.”

That is why a nigun must never be rushed. The pace, the silence, the mindfulness —all must be preserved in order that the nigun reach deep WWW. AVIRAMART.COM inside.

• “Song,” wrote the second Rebbe of Chabad, branching outward to each world and every created with a symphony of countless angels and souls and Rabbi Dovber, “lies at the core of life; its source being. Each thing thirsts to rejoin with its source animals and plants and even every drop of water and is in the most supernal ecstasy.” And he above, and from that yearning comes its song and molecule of air singing the song that gives it life. explained: with that song it comes alive. The heavens sing, the That is why a nigun brings a surge of new life and “A river went out from Eden to water the sun, the planets and the moon; each animal, each healing, sweetens the bitter soul and fills a home garden…” (Genesis 2:10) — from the source of plant, each rock has its particular song, according to with light — as the songs sung by David for King Saul all delight, the river of life flows downward, how it receives life. Until the entire cosmos pulsates which healed his bitter spirit. (Tzvi Freeman) 138 Santa Fe Calendar_Layout 1 8/2/2012 11:35 AM Page 23

INGATHERING BY BEN AVRAM

THE THREE WEEKS: June 25–July 16 These three weeks mark a period of national mourning for the destruction of the two Temples. For eight hundred and thirty years there stood an edifice upon a Jerusalem hilltop which served as the point of contact between heaven and earth. So central was this edifice to the relationship between man and G- d that nearly two-thirds of the mitzvot are contingent upon its existence. This is a very sad period during which many of our people’s calamities occurred. During this time we do not celebrate weddings or hold festivities. The “Three Weeks” begin with a fast on the 17th of Tammuz (June 25), and conclude with a 25 hour fast on Tisha B’Av, the 9th of Av (July 16). The Temple’s destruction is regarded as the greatest tragedy of our history, and its third and final rebuilding will mark the ultimate redemption, the restoration of harmony within G-d’s creation and between G-d and His creation.

SHABBAT CHAZON: July 13 On the Shabbat before Tisha B’Av, the Haftorah begins with the opening verse of Isaiah: “The ‘chazon’ (vision) of Isaiah…” in which the rebuilt Temple is envisioned. It is said that although our eyes may not see it, every Jew’s subconscious perceives the glorious Temple on this Shabbat. Hence, the name for this Shabbat.

JERUSALEM IN THE FALL BY BEN AVRAM

ROSH HASHANAH: September 5–6

Rosh Hashanah celebrates the beginning of creation, when G-d gave breath to human beings. On this day, G-d charged Adam with the responsibility of helping the world reach perfection. Rosh Hashanah, therefore, is a time for us to reflect on the purpose of creation and resolve to make our lives more meaningful by contributing to all of creation.

The Shofar: On Rosh Hashanah we hear the sounding of the shofar, the ram’s horn. It is the oldest and most soulful of wind instruments, sounding like a primal outcry from the depth of the soul. The sounding of the shofar has many meanings. It heralds a special occasion, signifying that we proclaim G-d as King of the universe. It’s thrilling blasts awaken us to repent and return to G-d and remind us of the shofar heard at Mount Sinai when we accepted G-d’s commandments for all time.

Tashlich: On the first afternoon of Rosh Hashanah it is customary to visit a natural body of water that contains fish. There we cast our sins down the river of time from which they will never return.

Apple & Honey: Dipping a piece of apple into honey at the first meal of Rosh Hashanah is a popular custom, symbolizing the hope that our new year will be blessed with sweetness and goodness. For the same reason, it is customary to eat other sweet foods, such as tzimmes.

FAST OF GEDALIA: September 8

This fast day commemorates the tragic assassination of Gedalia, the Jewish Governor of Judea who was installed over the country after Nebuchadnezzar’s invasion of Israel and the subsequent Babylonian exile.

YOM KIPPUR: September 14 WWW. AVIRAMART.COM

Yom Kippur is a 25 hour fast beginning at sunset on September SUKKOT: September 19–25 SHEMINI ATZERET/SIMCHAT TORAH: 14th, and continuing through nightfall the following night.
