  • 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.

  • A Brief Reflection for Tisha B'av
    A Brief Reflection for Tisha B’Av Today is the fast day that is known as Tisha B’Av, the ninth of the Hebrew month of Av. Unfortunately, this fast day in many communities is neglected, despite the fact that the rabbis modeled the day after Yom Kippur. Like Yom Kippur, the rabbis prohibited eating, drinking, washing, perfumes, leather shoes, and conjugal relations. In addition, it is the only fast day which like Yom Kippur begins the night before. What does Tisha B’Av commemorate? Most importantly, it marks the day which the two Temples were destroyed, the first in the year 586 BCE and the second in 70 CE. When we talk about the destruction of the Temple, we are talking about much more than the destruction of a building. We are talking about the beginning of Jewish exile, a condition that we still grapple with. Growing up in a very traditional home, this concept was reinforced in prayer three times a day. In the houses of many Orthodox Jews, a section of a wall is left unfinished as a constant reminder that this is not our ultimate home. In the three weeks preceding Tisha B’Av life seemed to slow down- we did not go swimming, we did not buy new gifts, and we did not go to concerts and parties. For three weeks we mourned. I think for most American Jews the notion of mourning over exile is completely unfamiliar. That is because to be put simply, American Jews living in this country do not feel they are in exile.

  • A Virtual Hanukkah Travelogue by CANTOR LAUREN PHILLIPS
    A Virtual Hanukkah Travelogue BY CANTOR LAUREN PHILLIPS Discuss on ReformJudaism.org As the chill of winter sets in, it's fun to fantasize about visiting warm climates and exotic destinations. In many parts of North America, we dream of a white Hanukkah (or we wish for the opposite). Other Jewish communities, Australia, for example, celebrate the Festival of Lights in the heat of summer or, as in Alaska, in constant darkness. Here are eight countries around the world — some warm and some cold — that offer unique traditions that you and your family can use to spice up your Hanukkah celebrations. 1. Cuba: In their cooking, Cubans use plantains in much the same way we use potatoes: mashing them, baking them, and frying them. It should not come as a surprise that Cuban Jews make fried plantains, otherwise known as tostones or patacones, for their Hanukkah celebrations. Here's a plantain recipe you can try at home. 2. Syria: The Jews of Aleppo were descendants of Sephardic Jews expelled from Spain in 1492. When they finally found a safe haven in Syria, they vowed to light an additionalshamash (helper candle) on Hanukkah as a sign of thanks. Today's Syria is a much different country. This Hanukkah, consider adopting the Syrian Jewish tradition of lighting an additional shamash in solidarity with the refugees who are fleeing Syria in droves in search of shelter and peace. 3. France: In the wine-making region of Avignon in the south of France, it is customary to end the Shabbat that falls during Hanukkah by opening a new bottle or cask of wine.

Although it is even tougher to Page 7 have hope in these conditions, our tradition, JUF Announcements like so many others, reminds us that even in Page 8 the darkest of times, there will be light to illumine the way forward. A debate between Birthdays & Anniversaries Hillel and Shammai is recounted in the Page 9 Talmud. Shammai suggests that the Chanukah menorah should be lit Yahrzeits beginning with eight candles on the first night of the holiday, and a Page 10 candle should be taken away each subsequent night.
