Anti-Israel ideologues understand the power of rewriting history in their campaign to win world opinion over to their cause. This powerful documentary by Gloria Z. Greenfield sets the record straight eloquently and comprehensively. It not only shows the undeniable historical connection between the Jewish People and the Land of Israel, but also succeeds in debunking all of the propaganda, myths and misinformation that have become accepted as truth by so many. Cast includes Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Alan Dershowitz, Yossi Klein Halevi, Ruth R. Wisse, Reverend Dr. DeeDee Coleman, and many more. Film length: 65 minutes.

  • Kol Rina an Independent Minyan Parashat Vayigash December 26, 2020 *** 11 Tevet, 5781
    Kol Rina An Independent Minyan Parashat Vayigash December 26, 2020 *** 11 Tevet, 5781 Kol Rina – An Independent Minyan, is a traditional egalitarian community. We are haimish (homey/folksy), friendly, participatory, warm and welcoming. We hold weekly services in South Orange as well as holiday services and celebrations which are completely lay led. We welcome all to our services and programs from non-Hebrew readers to Jewish communal and education professionals. Vayigash in a Nutshell https://www.chabad.org/parshah/article_cdo/aid/3224/jewish/Vayigash-in-a- Nutshell.htm Judah approaches Joseph to plead for the release of Benjamin, offering himself as a slave to the Egyptian ruler in Benjamin’s stead. Upon witnessing his brothers’ loyalty to one another, Joseph reveals his identity to them. “I am Joseph,” he declares. “Is my father still alive?” The brothers are overcome by shame and remorse, but Joseph comforts them. “It was not you who sent me here,” he says to them, “but G-d. It has all been ordained from Above to save us, and the entire region, from famine.” The brothers rush back to Canaan with the news. Jacob comes to Egypt with his sons and their families—seventy souls in all—and is reunited with his beloved son after 22 years. On his way to Egypt he receives the divine promise: “Fear not to go down to Egypt; for I will there make of you a great nation. I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again.” Joseph gathers the wealth of Egypt by selling food and seed during the famine.

  • Outline of the Book of Numbers “Wherefore Then Were Ye Not Afraid to Speak Against My Servant, Against Moses ?” (Numb
    Outline of the Book of Numbers “wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses ?” (Numb. 12:8b). Overview of Genesis The book of Genesis covers a span of approximately 2,450 years. The word “Genesis” means “origin” (Smith’s Bible Dictionary pp. 211). Genesis gives the origins of creation, sin, and death in the first three chapters. A history of mankind is examined in the book with great emphasis being placed upon future redemption through Jesus and the development of various characters. The promised seed of Genesis 3:15 is the theme of the entire book. The promised seed is mentioned again in Genesis 12:1-4; 22:18; and 49:10. This promised seed is identified as Jesus Christ at Galatians 3:8, 16. Matthew records, “ And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins ” (Matt. 1:21). Overview of Exodus The book of Exodus covers a span of approximately 360 years from the death of Joseph (Ex. 1:6) to the erecting of the tabernacle in the wilderness of Sinai (Ex. 40:1ff). The name “ Exodus ” means “a going out, a marching out, military expedition... a way out, outlet” (LS 275). Exodus records the Hebrews (descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) mass exit out of Egypt by the help of God. God’s mercy and care for His people appears to be the theme of the book (cf. Ex. 19:4). Overview of Leviticus Leviticus is the third book in the Bible and set at a time when man’s history had spanned approximately 2,800 years.

  • The Torah: a Women's Commentary
    STUDY GUIDE The Torah: A Women’s Commentary Parashat Vayigash Genesis 44:18–47:27 Study Guide written by Carolyn Bricklin Dr. Tamara Cohn Eskenazi, Dr. D. Lisa Grant, and Rabbi Andrea L. Weiss, Ph.D., editors Rabbi Hara E. Person, series editor Parashat Vayeitzei Study Guide Themes Theme 1: A Study in the Human Capacity for Growth Theme 2: The Silent Role of Tamar in Judah’s Evolution Theme 3: Sibling Rivalry and Reconciliation Theme 4: The Role of Women in the Text Introduction arashat Vayigash is the third of four Torah portions in the so-called “Joseph P story cycle,” the drama centered on Joseph, his brothers, and their father, Ja- cob. By the end of the second portion, parashat Mikeitz, Joseph has risen to a place of prominence in Pharaoh’s court, due in part to Joseph’s ability to correctly interpret Pharaoh’s dreams and prepare the Egyptian population for the drought. With a famine in Canaan, Joseph’s brothers travel to Egypt to buy food. Joseph recognizes them as soon as they enter the royal court, but they do not recognize him. Jo- seph, who was powerless to protect himself when his brothers sold him into slavery, now has all the power: his brothers literally are bowed at his feet. In her introduction to parashat Mikeitz, Naomi Steinberg notes that the portion ends with the ques- tion, “Is this family doomed to relive a violent past, or will it show that transformation and growth are pos- sible?” (p. 233). Parashat Vayigash answers this question with a resounding yes: people can change.

    BURIAL PRACTICES, FUNERARY TEXTS, AND THE TREATMENT OF DEATH IN IRON AGE ISRAEL AND ARAM by RACHEL VIRGINIA KING NABULSI Under the Direction of RICHARD FRIEDMAN ABSTRACT This research encompasses two branches of evidence regarding the treatment of death and burial among the Iron Age cultures of Israel and Aram – the archaeological and the textual. The importance of this investigation lies in placing these groups in dialogue with one another, and in the comprehensive use of both archaeological and textual information. The archaeological aspect of this research begins by collecting archeological data from a large number of burial sites throughout both of the target territories. The range of this data extends from the time of the Late Bronze Age into the Persian period, but the primary focus is upon the Iron Age. The first section of the dissertation relates to each of these areas and what can be learned from a survey of sites over this period, with particular attention paid to commonalities and contrasts among the two cultural groups. The second half of this research encompasses the textual and inscriptional data. Textual data include inscriptions from coffins, tombs, and funerary monuments from the Iron Age through the Persian period in Israel and Aram. Another crucial aspect of this textual data is the text of the Hebrew Bible. The biblical text, particularly the narrative sections of the text, provides a great amount of material for understanding death in Iron Age Israel and Judah. iv INDEX WORDS: Israel, Judah, Aram, Hebrew Bible, death,

  • Serach Haggadah Supplement
    Serach at the Seder A Haggadah Supplement Serach bat Asher and the Passover Story Maggid Yitzhak Buxbaum Friends, I’ve discovered something about Serach bat Asher that will cause Jews around the world, especially women, to dance for joy. Here is the dynamite revelation: Many of us know about Serach bat Asher, but her incredible relevance to Passover hasn’t been fully appreciated. Read and enjoy. Suggestions for using this supplement You can read it aloud at the beginning of the seder or before Maggid (telling the story). There are three kinds of recitations, labeled Reader, SERACH, & ALL. 1. READER: Going around the table each person reads from the Serach story. 2. SERACH: A recitation by an individual who is “representing” Serach bat Asher and speaking in her voice. Each of these ends with her saying: “I was there!” 3. ALL: A general litany recited in response to SERACH’S “I was there!” Everyone at the table together answers: “We were there too!” Maggid Yitzhak Buxbaum is the author of ten books, including Jewish Spiritual Practices, The Light and Fire of the Baal Shem Tov, and Jewish Tales of Holy Women. Next year he will publish A Haggadah for Mystics and Drunks. Reb Yitzhak directs the Jewish Spirit Maggid Training Program and has so far ordained 33 men and women for this holy work. To find out more about studying with RebYitzhak, visit www.jewishspir- it.com or contact him directly: [email protected]; 718 858-4058.
