  • Ou Israel Center - Summer 2019
    5779 - dbhbn ovrct [email protected] 1 sxc HALACHIC AND HASHKAFIC ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY 132 - HALACHA AND KABBALA - PART 2 OU ISRAEL CENTER - SUMMER 2019 • In Part 1 we saw how the early Acharonim began to assimilate the Zohar into the halachic process. The positions included: • R’ Elyahu Mizrachi (15C Turkey) - kabbalistic concepts are highly esoteric and, although special individuals are free to adopt them, ordinary people are not required to follow them. • Radvaz (16C Egypt) - kabbalistic practices are acceptable as chumrot, but not where they contradict the Talmud. • Beit Yosef (16C Eretz Yisrael) - incorporates selected halachot of the Zohar into the mainstream halacha. Where the Zohar conflicts with Talmud, the Talmud prevails. However, where the Zohar conflicts with the post-talmudic poskim, the Zohar prevails. • The Rema (16C Poland) - disagrees with the Beit Yosef on the latter point. According to the Rema, the Zohar cannot even override the post-talmudic poskim. • The Maharshal (16C Poland) - is concerned in many cases about the problems of integrating kabbala into halacha. • The Maseit Binyamin (17C Poland) - considers that the Zohar outweighs all the post-Talmudic poskim put together! • R. Ya’akov Emden (18C Germany) - whilst skeptical about the origins of every word of the Zohar, maintains that, although in any dispute between the Zohar and the Bavli we follow the Bavli, where the Bavli is unclear and subject to many interpretations and the Zohar can clarify the position, we are to look to the Zohar. The Zohar should not be rejected in halacha, provided it does not directly contradict the Bavli and we should try wherever possible to reconcile the Zohar and the Bavli.

  • B”Sd Minhagim of Congregation Tiferes Yisroel As Given
    b”sd Minhagim of Congregation Tiferes Yisroel as given over by Rabbi Menachem Goldberger Rosh HaShanah Elul • The shofar is blown every morning during the month of Elul, beginning with the 1st of Elul, which is the second day of Rosh Chodesh. In our shul, we blow the shofar after Alenu. This is followed by L'Dovid. • In nusach sfard, L'Dovid is said at shacharis and mincha. In nusach ashkenaz, L'Dovid is said at maariv and shacharis. If dovening in a nusach ashkenaz kehilla, you can say L'Dovid quietly at mincha, and repeat it again with the kehilla at maariv. • In general, never make a PUBLIC departure from the tzibur. Slichos • Slichos begin on Motzei Shabbos before Rosh HaShanah, usually about 1 AM (after chatzos). When Rosh HaShanah falls on Tuesday or earlier, slichos begin two shabbosos prior to Rosh HaShanah. Erev Rosh HaShanah • Because we are marbeh b'tachanunim on erev Rosh HaShanah, we begin slichos earlier than on the other days on which we say slichos. • Men should go to the mikveh after chatzos. • Hataras Nedarim -the annulment of vows-should be said before a beis din of three men, after shacharis. A man can have his wife in mind as well, although a woman can do it for herself if she wants to. The beis din requirements for hataras nedarim are not as strict as usual, e.g. a relative can be a member of the beis din. Shofar and Kittel • Men wear a kittel during the day on Rosh HaShanah. At night, only the shaliach tzibur wears a kittel.

  • MINYANIM: BULGARIA Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews
    MI NY ANIM: BULGARIA Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews By: Elisheva Kupferman; Conceptual Creator: Esti Moskovitz-Kalman 1. Introduction: Jewish culture developed throughout history and around the world. While Jewish people from all over the world share commonalities that unify them, each world Jewish community also incubated its own art, music, liturgy, and customs that is unique to them. And though each distinct community or locale boasts their own traditions, the broadest divide in customs is between the “Sephardic” and “Ashkenazic” communities. The term “Sephardim” refers to the Jewish communities that descended from Jews who lived in Spain and Portugal Before the Spanish Inquisition. More commonly, however, the term “Sephardim” is used in a wider sense to include most Jews of Asian and African origin, who use a Sephardic style of liturgy. Sephardim traditionally pray using Minhag Sefarad , which is quite similar to Nusach Edot haMizrach (liturgy of the Eastern Congregations). The term “Ashkenazim” refers to Jews descended from the medieval Jewish communities along the Rhine in Germany from Alsace in the south to the Rhineland in the north. Though Ashkenazim are literally "German Jews," the term now refers to all Jews from who identify with these traditions, though they span Western, Central, and Eastern European descent. Most Jews from Europe identify as Ashkenazi, with the noted exception of communities near the Mediterranean. The Jewish community of Bulgaria dates back to antiquity, and is made up of both Sephardic Jews (who traditionally spoke Ladino), as well as Ashkenazic Jews. As such, it is fitting that as a local Bulgarian group of Jewish leaders, you would choose to take a deeper look into the ways in which both communities differ, and where they might connect.

  • The Venetian Jewish Anthology: Liturgical Music 1
    THE VENETIAN JEWISH ANTHOLOGY: LITURGICAL MUSIC 1. Introduction (J. Malino) 2. Presentation to the NEH Institute by Rabbi Elia Richetti ( to be submitted by Luis) 3. Musical database: to date ( to be submitted by Luis) 4. Future additions to the database (J. Malino) 4. Miscellaneous notes from discussions with Rav Richetti (J. Malino) 1. Introduction A unique feature of the Venetian Ghetto was the density of its Jewish ethnic diversity. A significant aspect of this diversity was reflected in its many synagogues. Although only five synagogues remain in the Ghetto today, they provide ample evidence of this diversity, two being Italian Ashkenazic, one Italian, and two Sephardic (one Levantine and one Ponentine). The musical and liturgical traditions of these synagogues have evolved over time, and there is little possibility of recovering this history fully. In its place, the Venetian Jewish Anthology has set out to harvest the liturgical musical traditions from various communities across Italy, particularly those in the Veneto, whose diversity is akin to the diversity once apparent in Venice itself. To date, the focus is on Torah and Haftarah cantillation, and the music of the Pesach Seder. To this we hope to add selections from the nusach for weekday, Shabbat and festival liturgy. To preface the musical databases we have included the musical presentation to the NEH Institute by the chief rabbi of Venice, Elia Richetti. The musical recordings, which follow this presentation, were also contributed by Rav Richetti who possesses a beautiful voice, a broad knowledge of Italian liturgical music, and a great delight in sharing his knowledge.
