Siddur Cover Temple Israel We express our extreme gratitude to Temple Israel, Portsmouth, NH, for allowing Congregation Beth David to use parts of its on-line Shabbat siddur for our live-stream Shabbat services. This page number corresponds to pulpit announcements. 65 Preliminary Service MORNING BLESSINGS BIRCHOT HASHACHAR Just as one should not begin physical exercise without first warming up, so too, one should not begin davening (prayer) without “warming up". The early morning prayers, birchot hashahar, give us an opportunity to warm up our voices and spirit. They begin with a series of b’rachot (blessings) that trace the process of awakening. These b’rachot thank God for the gift of our bodies and souls; they describe God as providing for our physical needs of sight, strength, clothing, etc. It is no accident that the first and last thing Jews do every day is pray. What could be more appropriate in these moments of quiet reflection than to thank God for the myriad blessings of each day. - Please rise - Ba-ruch a-tah Ah-do-nai, E-lo-hey-nu me-lech ha-oh-lam, ,ml¨ Frd¨ Kl¤ n«¤ Epid«¥Ÿl`¡ dF¨di§ dY¨ `© KExA¨ a-sher na-tan la-sech-vi vi-na, ,dp¨ia¦ ie¦k§ V¤ l© oz© p¨ xW¤ `£ l'hav-chin bein yom u-vein lai-la. :dl¨ i§l«¨ oia¥ E mFi oiA¥ oig¦ a§ d© l§ We bless You Ah-do-nai, eternal God of the universe, who gave the heart for understanding the difference between day and night.

VERSES OF PRAISE SECTION (PESUKEI DEZIMRAH) The Verses of Praise section was initiated as an optional part of the prayer service and was recited privately. Today, these verses are recited every day, in private and public prayer. The Verses of Praise consist of a series of psalms, preceded and followed by a special blessing. The recitation of these psalms is intended to prepare and uplift the soul, purify our thoughts, and make us clear in our approach to God and prayer. Following the Verses of Praise, the Kaddish is recited to indicate that a subsection of the prayer service has now concluded, and we continue with a major section of the prayer service, namely, the blessings of the Sh'ma and the Sh'ma prayer.

  • History of Our Holocaust Memorial Scroll, Second Sefer Torah, Mantles, Aron Kodesh and Ner Tamid, Yad and Rimonim
    July 5, 2020 BET MISHPACHAH Washington, D.C. History of our Holocaust Memorial Scroll, Second Sefer Torah, Mantles, Aron Kodesh and Ner Tamid, Yad and Rimonim Memorial Scroll. In 1979, Bet Mishpachah president Michael Greenwald arranged for us to acquire our first Sefer Torah: a Torah scroll originally from the Czech town of Dolni Kounice. It is a fragile Holocaust Memorial Scroll placed on permanent loan to Bet Mishpachah by the Westminster Synagogue in Knightsbridge, London. In 1964, Westminster Synagogue acquired 1,564 rescued Czech Torah scrolls; since then they have generously placed 1,400 of them in synagogues around the world. Placement and coordination of these scrolls is handled by the Memorial Scrolls Trust of London (www.memorialscrollstrust.org). In late 1979, still bearing a catalogue number painted on the handle of one of the wooden rollers (akin to the numbers the Nazis tattooed on their prisoners), Memorial Scroll #703 found a new and loving home with Bet Mishpachah. Dolni Kounice. Dolni Kounice is a small town in Moravia, which became part of Czechoslovakia and is now part of the Czech Republic. The Jewish community in Dolni Kounice began in the 14th century. Over the years, they faced many perils, including the destruction of their synagogue, laws limiting the number of Jews allowed to live there, a fire in the 1830s, a devastating flood in 1862, and finally the forced deportation of the town’s entire Jewish community to the Auschwitz death camp. The only survivor was our Torah scroll. Jerry Goldberg (president of Bet Mishpachah in 1980) and his brother Myron visited Dolni Kounice in 1985; they found the boarded-up synagogue and were shown the Jewish cemetery.

  • How Is a Torah Made?
    How is a Torah made? By Rabbi Amy R. Scheineman The scribe prepares parchment sheets While printed editions of the Torah abound, in both Hebrew and English translation, and with many different commentaries, when the Torah is read in the synagogue on Shabbat and holidays, it is read from a hand-written scroll, called a Sefer Torah, in keeping with age-old tradition. It takes several months, and often as a long as a year to complete one Sefer Torah. The Sefer Torah is written by a scribe, special trained for this holy task, on sheets of parchment. The parchment must derive from a kosher animal, usually a cow, and is meticulously prepared by the scribe, who first soaks the skin in lime water to remove hairs, and then stretches the skin over a wooden frame to dry. The scribe scrapes the skin while it is stretched over the wooden frame to remove more hair and smooths the surface of the skin in preparation for writing on it with the use of a sanding machine. When the skin is dry, the scribe cuts it into a rectangle. The scribe must prepare many such skins because a Sefer Torah usually contains 248 columns, and one rectangle of parchment yields space for three or four columns. Thus a Sefer Torah may require at more than 80 skins in all. When the parchment sheets are ready, the scribe marks out lines and columns using a stylus, which makes a mark in the skin that has no color, much as if you ran your fingernail across a sheet of paper.

  • The Religious Meaning of Israel Rosh Hashanah 5775 Day 1, September 25, 2014 R
    The Religious Meaning of Israel Rosh Hashanah 5775 Day 1, September 25, 2014 R. Steven A. Lewis As many of you know, I went to Israel this summer for a very brief visit. At the core of it, I wanted to be there in solidarity with friends and the whole country during a difficult period. I found the article I sent out to the membership written by my friend Bonna Haberman very compelling. In this article she encouraged people who cared about Israel to express their concerns in person. She wrote that she understood it was inconvenient, but she hadn't planned to spend the summer in a bomb shelter worrying about her three sons in active duty in the army. I am so grateful that I was able to go. Another reason for the trip was to visit a friend who is battling a very serious illness. So I was also fulfilling the mitzvah of Bikor Holim, "visiting the sick." In discussing this mitzvah, the Talmud says One who visits the sick must not sit upon the bed, or on a stool or a chair, but must be respectfully dressed and sit upon the ground, because the Divine Presence rests above an invalid's bed. (Bavli Nedarim 40a) מפני שהשכינה שרויה למעלה ממטתו של חולה So those images raise the interesting question of God's location. The liturgy is inconsistent on this point, most specifically it identifies God as Shochain Yerushalyim "The One who dwells in Jerusalem," but also, in the very same passage as "the One whose presence fills all of creation." I'd like to talk about Israel today.

  • As Some of You Know I Spent the Past Year in Jerusalem. I Walked The
    As some of you know I spent the past year in Jerusalem. I walked the cobblestone streets, practiced my Hebrew and a smattering of Arabic, drank coffee in sun soaked cafes, and learned hours and hours of Torah in the beit midrash. But some of my most memorable moments in Israel were spent sitting on the bus. Every day, I would wait for the bus that would take me from the doorstep of Pardes to the Conservative Yeshiva. I would step onboard, and become immersed in snippets of Hebrew, French, Russian, Arabic, and Amaharic surrounding me, a cacophony of words and phrases that I couldn’t even begin to decode. Every now and then I had enough Hebrew to pick out stories from Israeli boys sitting across from me in their white shirts and black pants, complaining about the food in their Yeshiva and alluding to homesickness for parents and siblings. 1 A dirt-spattered four-year-old babbling about his day at Gan, Israeli kindergarten, to his father, who’s only half listening while preoccupied with his phone. And once in a while, an English speaker would walk onto the bus, and I would be dropped into the middle of the saga they were unfolding to their friend; stories of pain, love, tragedy, comedy, hope, and loss. I’d listen for the moment, and then either they would get off the bus, or I would, and their stories would dissipate from my mind, as I raced towards the Conservative Yeshiva, in my mad dash to be on time for my Zo_har class.
