  • How Do We Celebrate Yom Kippur at Home?
    “Day of Atonement” In Hebrew. Healthy adults are commanded to refrain from eating and drinking from sunset to sunset to remind us of the frailty of the human body and our own mortality, and to encourage complete focus on the holiday. It is customary to wear white on the holiday and some choose to wear sneakers or other rubber-soled shoes out of deference to the ancient practice of avoiding leather shoes, which were a symbol of luxury. How Do We Celebrate Yom Kippur at Home? Before sundown, families and friends gather together and eat the last meal before the start of Yom Kip- pur and the period of fasting. It is only after the last bite is eaten, and the holiday candles are lit, that Yom Kippur and the fast officially begin. If you choose to fast, it is important to remember that children under the age of 13 are not required to fast nor are adults whose health precludes them from fasting. Yom Kippur is a somber Jewish holiday of reflection and contemplation. We think of those who came before us and those who have influenced our lives and we take the time to remember family and/or friends who have died. You can light a special Yahrzeit candle (available in Judaica shops and online), if you choose. Just like on Shabbat, two candles can be lit at the evening meal. Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, who has sanctified us with Your com- mandments and commands us to light the [Sabbath and] holiday lights.

  • Aleph Beta the Seder Explained
    BROWSE BAR & BAT MITZVAH D MENU What Is the Passover Seder? What Is a Seder? The Passover Seder is a religious service held on the rst night of Passover. The Seder service is also conducted on the second night of the Pesach holiday for those living outside of Israel. The Hebrew word “Seder” (pronounced “say-dehr”) translates to “order” in English. The meaning of the word “Seder” reveals a lot about the nature of this Passover ritual. The Seder service is composed of fteen sections, all followed in a specic order. The order of the Seder is presented in the Haggadah text, along with the liturgy and instructions for the night’s many rituals. Below, the rst video of our Haggadah course introduces you the Passover Seder. You can also print out our Haggadah guide to take with you. The Meaning of the Seder Meal The order is just one part of the meaning of the Seder. The Seder is also designed to remind us of the Israelites’ experience of Egyptian slavery, and how God redeemed them from Egypt. The Seder shows us that the Passover holiday is a commemoration of both suffering and joy. Rabbi Fohrman taKes this one step further to propose that Passover is also about celebrating becoming God's chosen. Before the Seder meal can be eaten, all the Seder participants join together to recall the trials and miracles that forged the Jewish nation. The Haggadah text tells us the story of the Israelites' descent into slavery in Egypt, their suffering under Pharaoh’s rule, and God’s miraculous redemption of the Jewish people.

  • Halachos of the Three Weeks 5775
    HALACHOS OF THE THREE WEEKS 5775 The three-week period beginning with the 17th of Tammuz (Friday Night, July 3rd) and ending with the fast of the 9th of Av (observed this year on the 10th of Av - Sunday, July 26th) is a period of mourning for the destruction of Jerusalem and the two Batei Mikdash. The mourning intensifies as we move closer to Tisha B’Av. I. Restrictions of “The Three Weeks” 1. Weddings/Engagements. Weddings are prohibited. Engagements are permitted, though engagement parties should be postponed until after the Three Weeks. 2. Music. It is prohibited to play or listen to music. Even a student should not practice during the Three Weeks unless his/her skills will be set back considerably by the lack of practice. According to most, this prohibition includes taped music. Although it may be permissible to listen to tapes with singing alone (“acappella”), it is preferable to refrain from the joy associated with music altogether. Singing is permitted on Shabbos. 3. Haircutting is prohibited for both men and women. In cases of need, children’s hair may be cut. 4. Shaving is prohibited according to most authorities, if not needed for business purposes. A woman may shave her legs even during the Nine Days. 5. Home beautification may continue until Rosh Chodesh (Thursday Night, July 16th). However, it is best not to begin painting or beautification of the home during the Three Weeks. If there are no other dates available, one may begin during this time. 6. Important Purchases that require the berachah of “shehechiyanu” should be avoided, i.e.
