  • Fantastyiccprogram-Calendar-2018
    a message from the factory ceO This year we have chosen as the theme for our Program Calendar, The FantastYICC Chocolate Factory . One might think that this is a colorful and charming theme; but in truth it is much more. It reflects the Jewish approach to teaching Torah. Every morning we begin the Shacharit service with blessings called Birkhot HaTorah. Among the blessings we declare l,ru , hrcs ,t ubhvkt ‘v tb crgvu – “ Please, Lord our God, make the words of Your Torah sweet in our mouths. ” The 18th century rabbinic thinker and prolific author, Yaakov Emden, noted that this is a pragmatic request. We pray that Torah will be sweet for everyone to enjoy, making it universally desirable among all Jews. A number of years ago, on a visit to our Shul, the President of the Los Angeles Jewish Federation, Jay Sanderson, remarked how impressed he was that children come over to me on Shabbat to receive lollipops. He exclaimed that encouraging children to come to their rabbi for something sweet will guarantee the future of our people. He further ruminated, “We also need lollipops for the adults so that they too will be excited by their Judaism.” It is our hope that in this Program Calendar, filled with exciting and stimulating programs, many of which are appearing for the first time, you will find the sweetness of Torah that will stimulate your thought and expand your Jewish education. It is our intent that our outstanding array of speakers, as well as all our diverse programs, will challenge your mind and engage your heart.

  • Friday Church News Notes
    VOLUME 18, ISSUE 51 WAY OF LIFE DECEMBER 22, 2-17 FRIDAY CHURCH NEWS NOTES LOOKINGSPECIAL FOR ANNOUNCEMENT! A MAN OF PEACE Did you pray for your national and local leaders this week? For Americans, this means ANDpraying A for SUPREMEPresident Donald Trump and thePROBLEM U.S. Congress and state and SOLVERlocal leaders. In Jewish tradition, the building of the Tird Temple is associated with the coming of the Messiah. According to Maimonides (Rambam), the highest rabbinical authority, any Jew that starts rebuilding the temple is a potential Messiah. Shimon ben Kosiba was considered a Messiah in the second century when he led a revolt to recapture Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. He was named Bar Kokhba (“Son of the Star”) based on the Messianic prophecy of Numbers 24:17, and a coin was struck depicting the temple with the ark of the covenant inside and the Messianic star on the roof. By this tradition, it is simple to see how the Antichrist will be looked upon as the Messiah. In an interview in Jerusalem a few years ago, a Reformed Jewish rabbi told us that the Messiah will come when things look really dark and will establish peace and build the temple. A representative of the Temple Institute said the same thing: “We are waiting for a Messiah. In Jewish tradition, we believe that in every generation Simon bar Kokhba on the there is someone who can be the Knesset Menorah Messiah. Te question is who will he be. Te answer is only someone who does specifc things can be called the Messiah.

  • Shalom Al Yisrael Synagogue
    c Yigal Morag and Artvision Company Shalom Al Yisrael Synagogue On the mosaic floor of the ancient synagogue "Shalom Al Yisrael" one can see a seven-branched Menorah. To the right of the Menorah there is a Shofar and to the left, a Lulav. Underneath the Menorah is written "Shalom Al Yisrael" (Peace upon Israel). This synagogue's mosaic is special, in light of the fact that no human being or animal appears in it. This ancient synagogue is located in Jericho and was established in the late 6th/early 7th century. There are other opinions that it was established in the 3rd century, during the time of the Jerusalem Talmud. The synagogue was discovered during an archaeological dig in 1936. The synagogue received its name on account of the large mosaic floor that features the picture of the Menorah, and from the writing "Shalom al Yisrael". From which time period is this Menorah from? Where does the Menorah feature in the synagogue? c REUTERS The Menorah from the Digging at Migdal – Synagogue from the Second Temple Period An ancient synagogue dating back to the Second Temple period was discovered during archaeological diggings on the Migdal shore. A large stone engraved with a seven-branched Menorah is located in the middle of the synagogue. The ancient synagogue is large and contains stone benches and a mosaic floor. It is thought that the artist who engraved the Menorah on the stone saw the Menorah with his own eyes in the Temple in Jerusalem. According to the research in the field, this Menorah is the most ancient one known of.

  • The Menorah to Rome
    Gallery: Menorahs at the Temple, at the Knesset, and at Home King Antiochus plunders the Second Temple Menorah, 169 BCE (Courtesy of the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America) The Arch of Titus — 70 CE The Roman general Titus destroyed Jerusalem after a four-year battle ending in 70 CE and carried off the Temple utensils including the menorah to Rome. The stolen menorah was probably the one fashioned by Judah the Maccabee in 164 BCE for the first Hanukkah, since the earlier menorah had been plundered by Antiochus IV. The Arch of Titus was built in honor of Titus in 81 CE after he had already become the Roman Emperor. (An engraving by Francois Perrier 1695, after the bas-relief on the Arch of Titus) The Menorah — Into Exile and Back Home The Symbol of the New State of Israel, 1949 CE. 228 Ben-Gurion and the Cabinet Return the Menorah to Jerusalem Cartoonist A. Navon, portrayed the transfer of the Knesset from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, 1949, as a reversal of the famous procession of Titus removing the menorah from Jerusalem two thousand years ago. David Ben- Gurion, identifiable by his balding head and bushy white hair, and Golda Meir, the only woman in the picture, are carrying the new symbol of the State of Israel, a menorah designed to resemble the captured menorah on the Arch of Titus in Rome. Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion’s pose recalls King David who brought the ark up to Jerusalem (circa 1000 BCE) accompanied by musical instruments like the shofar and the flute.

  • 1 the Partings Christianity Separates from Judaism Donald E. Knebel
    The Partings Christianity Separates from Judaism Donald E. Knebel April 29, 2018 Slide 1 1. As we ended last week in about 55 A.D., the followers of Jesus were divided into two groups with fundamentally different beliefs. 2. One group consisted almost entirely of Jews and looked to James, the brother of Jesus, for its leadership 3. This group, which some people today call “Jewish Christians,” obeyed the laws of Moses and saw Jesus as born human, but adopted by God as the promised Messiah at the time of his baptism to usher in the Kingdom of God on earth. 4. Here is how one author describes this group: “[It] was a Torah-observant group, ensconced within Judaism as one more form of this religion alongside such other Jewish factions as the Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes and Zealots.” Wilson, How Jesus Became Christian at 95. 5. The other group consisted almost entirely of Gentiles and looked to Paul for its leadership. 6. This group did not obey the laws of Moses, saw Jesus as having been divine at least since birth and capable of saving them from the eternal consequences of sin merely by believing in him. 7. In the middle of the first century, these groups, which one author describes as “two separate, parallel religions,” co-existed. Wilson, How Jesus Became Christian at 238. 8. The co-existence of these two Christian groups did not last. 9. Most Christians today, successors to the Gentile Christians, reject the views of the early Jewish Christians. 10. Most Jews today reject the views of the early Jewish Christians that Jesus is the Messiah and many even reject the idea of Jewish Christians.
