Weekly Brief WEEKLY BRIEF Av 8 5781/July 16th & 17th, 2021 Shabbat Hazon Devarim/ Tisha B’Av Shabbat Schedule Plag Mincha/Maariv 6:35pm A MESSAGE FROM RABBI ADLER Candle Lighting 7:15/8:08pm Chaveireinu HaYikarim Mincha/Maariv Main Sanctuary 7pm I hope you and your family are well and are preparing for Beit Midrash 8:10pm a meaningful Tisha B’Av. We will say the Kinnot once again and try to extract something meaningful for our generation Shabbat Morning 20 centuries after the destruction of the second Beit Sof Zman Kriyat Shma 9:20am Shacharit- HaMikdash. I’ll try to give you something to ponder. What Main Shul 7am mechanism did HaKalir use to formulate the Kinnot? Beit Midrash 8:30am HaKalir was the greatest poet whose poems and Kinnot Main Shul 9am Youth Groups 9am compose the majority of the Kinnot. He also was a major Shailot UTshuvot Shiur 10:30am contributor to the tefilot of Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur as well as all the other “Tisha B’Av Questions” Beit Midrash holidays, although we don’t include his poems for the other Chagim in our davening. Tot Shabbat 10:30am Did HaKalir try to teach us halachot of the day? Did he want to teach us the Talmud’s Outdoors, behind the Beit Midrash discussions of each chag? No he did not. HaKalir told stories. Stories found in the Shabbat Afternoon Talmud, in the Midrash, and simple stories which parents told their children and Mincha- grandchildren. Why did he choose this method? What did HaKalir think we should Main Sanctuary 2pm Main Sanctuary learn from those stories? Mincha- Truth be told, HaKalir was not the originator of this method. Just contemplate the Main Sanctuary 6:25pm Seder. The unknown author of the Haggadah could have selected halachot of Pesach Fast Begins 8:25pm through which to convey the drama of the exodus from Mitzrayim. But he too chose Rabbi Adler’s 8:30pm Inyanei Tisha B’Av Shiur Main Sanctuary the story book method. Yes, there are some halachic units from the Mishneh and the Maariv, followed by Eicha reading in Main Gemara, but fundamentally, it is a story that we are charged with the task of Sanctuary and Social Hall 9pm interpreting that old famous story. In a story, who is the target audience? Whose task Shabbat Ends 9:07pm is it to interpret that story? Late Eicha Reading 10:15pm Those are some of the ideas I propose you ask yourself until Motzei Shabbat. Please share your thoughts with me. Weekday Davening Shabbat Shalom and a meaningful Tzom.

I hope everyone will be able to join. I’m excited to share that Teen minyan will resume on September 4th. I’d like to extend a warm welcome to our new Teen Coordinators, Leora and Shmuel Bak, who will oversee the minyan as well as learning and social programming. This Shabbat, we read Devarim , which is in essence, Moshe’s renewal of the covenant Hashem made with Bnei Yisrael at Har Sinai. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, z'l explains that as Moshe joins the covenant to the next generation, who will soon enter the Promised Land and create a society based on the Torah there, he reminds the people of events that occurred during their time in the desert. The Parsha ends with the appointment of Yehoshua as successor. As we at Rinat transition from one leader to another, let’s remember how we became the shul we have. Full of commitment to community, chessed, learning, respectful davening, the happy memories and challenges we faced over the years and how we overcame them and grew as a shul and as a community. Let’s take those wonderful memories as we welcome Avital and Rabbi Strauchler and partner with them as our shul goes michayil l’chayil. I wish you a meaningful fast and hope and pray that all who want to travel to Israel are able to in the near future. Shabbat Shalom, Bina RABBI NOTE The major difference in Tisha B’Av taking place on a Saturday night is that there is no real Erev Tisha B’Av. One you can אפילו כסעודת שלמה can eat meat all day, including for Seudah Shlishit. The Gemara’s expression is eat a meal fit for a king. Eating must be completed by 8:25pm, as well as brushing one’s teeth. Yes, brushing teeth with toothpaste is permitted on ordinary fast days, with the exception of Yom Kippur and Tisha B’Av. (It is also premitted on Shabbat.) We should not engage in any preparation on Shabbat for post Shabbat. So do not carry sneakers and Kinnot anytime on Shabbat. Either you bring them to shul on Friday before Mincha or you wear regular shoes until Maariv and just wear socks for Maariv and Eicha, then don your shoes after Completion, until you get home and change into sneakers. On Shabbat, you can learn everything and are not limited to Tisha B’Av topics. Tisha B’Av itself is observed as it always is. .to witness the rebuilding of the third Beit HaMikdash זוכה May we all be MAZAL TOV Marcia & David Jacobowitz on the birth of a granddaughter, born to Batya & Rabbi Moshe Jacobowitz.

  • Psalms & Sonnets
    Chaya Sima Koenigsberg1 Chaya.Koenigsberg@yu.edu Spring 2021 JHIS-4940H-C PSALMS & SONNETS Meeting times: In-Person/Zoom Lecture Wednesday 11:55-1:10 PM 245 Lexington: Room 418 Monday – Asynchronous/Zoom (11:55-1:10pm) Course Description: This course will survey the interplay between poetry and prayer in Jewish tradition from Tanakh to the modern era. Using classical meforshim, we will examine the style and significance of biblical prayers and poetry to understand the important power Jewish tradition places on poetry and song as forms of personal and national religious expression. The centerpiece of our course will be Sefer Tehillim whose many lyrical and timeless psalms were recited as part of the Temple service and became the foundation and inspiration for the formalized liturgy of the Siddur. Group and self-study assignments will examine psalms traditionally utilized by Jews to express their joy or distress throughout the long exile. Building on our study of the relationship between Psalms and the liturgy, we will look at the literary genre of piyyut (liturgical poetry) beginning in the Land of Israel in Talmudic times. The impetus, impact, and inclusion of piyyut throughout the Jewish world as well as opposition to piyyutim by some Geonim and Rishonim will be examined. In our discussion of piyyut, important kinnot (poetic laments), composed to commemorate the destruction of the Temple and other national tragedies, especially in medieval Ashkenaz, will be considered, as well as the way Jews in the Middle Ages experimented with structure, meter, rhyme, and rhetoric to compose original works that expressed gratitude, love, longing, displacement, and grief in the Golden Age of Spain.

Others paint in black and white. Oliver Sacks, a world-renowned author and neurologist, describes an interesting case of a painter who suddenly became colorblind after an accident. Curiously, the painter maintained a strong awareness of color even though he could only see black and white. He knew what colors he was supposed to see and how they would normally make him feel, yet he was limited to seeing only black and white.

  • Jewish Holiday Guide Tu B’ Shvat 1 As Arepresentation Ofthenatural Cycle
    Jewish Holiday Guide Tu B’Shvat 15th day of Shvat “…Just as my ancestors planted for me, so I will plant for my children (Talmud Ta’anit 23a).” Tu B’Shvat is a time when we celebrate the New Year for trees. It falls on the 15th of Shvat in the Hebrew calendar and it is a time for us to focus on our ecological responsibilities and the life cycle of renewal. The very first task that was assigned to humans by God was to care for the environment: ‘God took man and put him into the garden to work it and guard 1 it…’ (Genesis 1:15). In Israel, Tu B’shvat is usually celebrated by planting trees and holding the Tu B’shvat seder. Planting trees is a custom that was first held in 1884 in Israel due to the spiritual significance of the land of Israel and the agricultural emphasis that the Zionist brought with them to Israel. The Tu B’shvat seder is formed out of 4 sections for the 4 worlds as the Kabballah says: • The spiritual world of God represented by fire – Atzilut (nobility) • The physical world of human represented by earth – Assiyah (Doing) • The emotional world represented by air – Briyah (Creation) • The philosophical, thoughtful world represented by water – Yetzirah (Making) Each section of the seder also represents one of the four seasons, and mixtures of red and white wine are drunk in different amounts as a representation of the natural cycle. Tu B’ Shvat Tu Purim 14th day of Adar “The Feast of Lots” Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar, as it celebrates the story of two heroes, Esther and Mordecai, and how their courage and actions saved the Jewish people living in Persia from execution.
