Social Action Shabbat featuring award-winning author and producer, Marra B. Gad, who will discuss her book: "The Color of Love." In her debut memoir, Marra-the "mixed-race Jewish" woman of the subtitle-describes how she chose to help her racist, abusive, estranged Great-Aunt Nette after Nette developed Alzheimer's. The disease slowly erased Nette's prejudices, at last allowing Marra to develop a relationship with the woman who had shunned her in her youth where she was adopted by a white Jewish family in Chicago three days after she was born. "The Color of Love" is the Winner of the 2020 Midwest Book Award in Autobiography/Memoir presented by the Midwest Independent Publishing Association.

The 13th תִ ְכ ֶלה ׁשָ נָ ה ְו ְק ְל ֶלֹותיהָ A ot Ketanah carries the refrain ָאחָ ֹות ְק טַ ָ נ ה (century Spanish piyyut (liturgical poem loteha—let the year and her curses end. For so many in the world, individuals and׳tikhleh shanah v’kil communities, this past year has been a year of pain. We saw loved ones die, we saw communities cease to meet in person, and we saw the fabric of our lives drastically shift. All of us—ourselves, our families, our communities, our world—are in need of some hit· adshut, some renewal. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are holidays that we usually celebrate in their fullness in a synagogue community. We often see the same people, hear the same melodies, and connect to the same texts. Yet this year, many of us find ourselves not going to synagogue and not having the same High Holy Day experience we were expecting. Our hope is to provide an at-home experience to bridge the gap between what we usually do at shul and what we usually do at home. Our goal is to provide a user-friendly, interactive ritual for you to do at home with family and/or friends or over Zoom with a small group of others.

  • Welcome to the Fort Tryon Jewish Center! an Independent, Traditional, Egalitarian Community
    Welcome to the Fort Tryon Jewish Center! An independent, traditional, egalitarian community An anchor of the Uptown Jewish community since 1938, we have thrived by evolving with our neighborhood and our membership. With deep roots nurturing new life, the congregation is a diverse mix of families and individuals of many backgrounds and many types of observance. How to use this companion: This companion has something for everyone and is intended to help all of us stay present and reflective--open to and focused on the spiritual renewal that’s available to us here and now. Keep this companion around: before, during, and in between the holidays. Flip through it when you’re inspired, bored, lost, or searching. Take a look at the sections on praying at home, the interpretive poetry for the season, or Rabbi Guy Austrian’s sermons. Use the transliterations to help you sing. Let the questions on the Torah and Haftarah readings serve as doorways into those sacred texts and opportunities to reflect on our lives. Also included are service outlines--both the complete service as normally done at FTJC, and a guided, streamlined service for the individual or family at home. Use the outlines to stay oriented along the arc of these days. How to use the machzor: Our machzor itself also has meaningful commentaries and stories below the line, as well as profound essays in the front. Let the prayers open up to you and open you up. and don’t worry much about maintaining a particular pace or saying every last word. Make space with silence, so that your own meditations, intentions, and personal prayers can emerge.

  • United Hebrew's 2021 High Holy Day Brochure
    We look forward to celebrating the High Holy Days with you—and are especially anticipating the opportunity to welcome our members (who are comfortable) to join us in the Millstone Sanctuary for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services. We are excited to again worship together as a community. Please be assured that we will also continue to provide outstanding virtual experiences throughout the entire High Holy Day period—from the start of Elul through Simchat Torah—welcoming all to participate. Over these past 16 months we hope you have appreciated the extraordi- nary efforts of our clergy, teachers and staff to rapidly adapt worship services, education, and programs to virtual and hybrid experiences, and how we created innovative ways to celebrate and observe life cycle events while adhering and adapting to ever-changing public health and government guidelines. For 184 years UH has provided meaningful Jewish worship and education for you, your families, and past generations of our historic congregation, during the holidays and throughout each year. Now we ask you to con- sider making a generous gift to our High Holy Day Appeal to help us raise the necessary funds to balance the financial needs of the congregation with what is received annually from membership dues. This will enable United Hebrew to remain strong for you and for generations to come. You may make your gift marked “HHD Appeal” using one of the four methods of payment listed here: • Check – mail to United Hebrew • PayPal – go to paypal.me/uhcstl • Venmo – @uhcstl • Website – www.unitedhebrew.org/giving On behalf of the clergy, staff, and Board of Trustees, we are deeply grateful for your gift, and wish you a good and sweet year.

These are the days of the year when we attend synagogue, sometimes the only days of the year, kind of like a pilgrimage. 178 00:26:50.370 --> 00:26:59.610 Marc Baker: And for many of us, these are the days when we look forward to meals and time with family and friends and this year, for most of us, things are going to be different. 179 00:27:00.510 --> 00:27:14.670 Marc Baker: How we celebrate the High Holidays will be yet another disruption to our personal lives, our ritual lives, our community, to the rhythm of the Jewish year that forms are Jewish memory and shapes our identities.

  • Rosh Hashanah Seder רָ בּוֹת לְשָׁנִים תִזְקוּ
    Rosh HaShanah Seder The Rosh HaShanah seder is a 2,000 year old Sephardic custom that is still practiced today. Let us join together to add meaning to this 5781 Holy Day by associating our hopes for the New Year with a variety of symbolic foods, called Simanim, over which we offer blessings. We begin with a unique New Year greeting uttered in many Sephardic and Mizrahi communities: תִזְקוּ לְשָׁנִים רָ בּוֹת! Tizku l’shanim rabot! May you merit many years! Mah nishtanah halaila hazeh? Why is this night different from all other nights? True, this phrase has a specific meaning at another seder, but tonight there is an added meaning. In a different year, we would have rightly called this holy night, Yom HaZikaron, a day of remembrance. Tonight, the name remains the same: we remember what it was like before the coronavirus, as we pray that God remembers us for healing and for hope. In a different year, we might have eaten quickly, so that we could be at services for this special evening that ushers in the New Year. Tonight, we linger in our homes, protecting ourselves, our loved ones, and our extended family of families. In a different year, our prayers, coming out of our mouths, would be our primary focus. Tonight, special foods, coming into our mouths, will be our primary focus. תָחֵל שָׁנָה וּבִרְ כוֹתֶהָ ! Tachel shanah u’virchoteha! Let the New Year, with all its blessings, begin! ❖ ❖ ❖ Candles First, we kindle the lights which not only remind us that Rosh HaShanah is here, but also that tonight is Shabbat as well.
