Shawn Landres, Elie Kaunfer, and Michelle Shain Sponsored by The S3K Synagogue Studies Institute & Mechon Hadar November 07 2007 NATIONAL SPIRITUAL COMMUNITIES SURVEY: Report of Preliminary Findings The Growth of Emergent Spiritual Communities, 1996 – Present The last decade has witnessed an explosive growth of NGOs – thousands of voluntary, public sector non‐governmental organizations that operate on behalf of a wide variety of cultural, educational, political, and social causes all over the world. The reasons for this sharp growth are not entirely clear, but many observers credit the Internet and other technological advances for reducing the cost of organizing and helping people of particular inclinations to find each other and to remain connected. They also credit commensurate shifts in the wider culture for making the idea of self‐ organizing among like‐minded individuals more acceptable, expected, and feasible. Thus, creative and energetic social entrepreneurs have been reaching and organizing those around them in newly initiated groups, large and small, dedicated to serving the interests and realizing the values of specific constituencies with distinctive purposes, interests, values and aesthetics. Just as niche marketing has made numerous specialized goods and services available to specialized consumers, so niche organizing has brought together networks and communities to an unprecedented

  • D.I.Y. JUDAISM: a ROUNDTABLE on the INDEPENDENT MINYAN PHENOMENON Moderated by Shifra Bronznick
    D.I.Y. JUDAISM: A ROUNDTABLE ON THE INDEPENDENT MINYAN PHENOMENON Moderated by Shifra Bronznick Jewish prayer requires a community of ten - a minyan - but not a rabbi or a congregation. For most of the past century, when the primary organization of American Jewish life was the synagogue, the distinction was academic. Over the last decade, however, there has been a small explosion of independent minyanim, lay-led communities for worship. Often meeting in church basements and synagogue social halls, these minyanim are disproportionately composed ofyoung Jewish leaders and professionals - precisely the people the institutional community has tried and failed to reach with huge initiatives and costly programs. They are independent, communally governed, and non­ denominational - and they may be quietly changing the shape ofAmerican Judaism. For this conversation, Zeek brought together the leaders of six such minyanim for a conversation moderated by Shifra Bronznick herself a member of Minyan M~at, a lay-led minyan at Congregation Ansche Chesed in New York. The participants were Ben Dreyfus (Kol Zimrah, New York), Jo Ellen Green Kaiser (Senior Editor, Zeek), Elie Kaunfer (Kehilat Hadar, New York), Yehuda Kurtzer (Washington Square Minyan, Boston/Brookline), Sarah Lefton (Mission Minyan, San Francisco), Rachel Milner-Gillers (Tehillah, Mor Arkadir, Oil, Water Boston/Cambridge), and Beth Tritter (DC Minyan, Washington D.C.) other was that we wa: would want to go to ~ Shifra Bronznick (Moderator): What prompted you to start an independent minyan> Beth Tritter (DC M Orthodox shul and t1 Elie Kaunfer (Kehilat Hadar): Hadar started in April of 2001.

  • Composer Biographies and Annotations
    The Composers — ROBERT APPLEBAUM (bobapplebaum.com) For many years, music was an abiding love but a professional sideline for Robert Applebaum, who taught physics and chemistry at New Trier High School, Winnetka, IL, from 1965 until his retirement in June 2000. He began composing choral music for the Jewish liturgy in 1980 and has written three Sabbath services, including one for choir and jazz trio. He has composed choral settings of many psalms as well as non-secular texts. Professional, community, and children’s choirs throughout the world have performed Applebaum’s music. Chicago a cappella included two of his Chanukah pieces on their 2002 recording Holidays Live and three of his settings of Shakespeare texts on their highly acclaimed 2005 Çedille release, Shall I Compare Thee? His setting of Im Ein Ani Li Mi Li is included on Chicago a cappella’s 2010 recording, Days of Awe and Rejoicing. As a jazz pianist/composer, he has three albums to his credit: Hora and Blue (Global Village, 1993) with the Modern Klezmer Quartet, The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree (jazz piano duos with his son Mark Applebaum (Innova, 2002), and Friday Night Jazz Service (2007). ROBERT APPLEBAUM on El Malei Rachamim “When Cantor Nancy Kassel contacted me with the assignment to set this prayer, my first re- sponse was ‘Thank you for giving me such a juicy text!’. Three images in this text resonated for me: A merciful and compassionate God, the wings of the Shechinah providing shelter and repose, and the binding of the souls of those who have died to Adonai, and by extension, to us, the living.

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

  • Adult Cooking Classes August 2018
    ADULT COOKING CLASSES – AUGUST 2018 Feeling rather “strange” sitting here and trying to grasp for words to express the emotions arising from the realization that this is the last cooking class schedule I’ll ever be sending out on behalf of Fuel for the Soul. And as a lot of you well know, I’m not usually at a loss for words or searching for how to express myself. This situation brings to mind the lyrics from one of Willie Nelson’s songs (The Party’s Over ): Turn out the lights The party's over They say that all Good things must end Call it a night The party's over……… The finality of issuing the August 2018 Cooking Class Schedule is truly bittersweet. While I’m so ready to retire and take on our next adventure in life (who doesn’t want to travel the world!), thinking about the end of classes is truly sad. Not the part of all the behind the scenes business/marketing/financial/computer “stuff”, but the joy of sharing evenings with our clients. From newbies to longtime regulars, the pleasure of breaking bread in class has been nothing but rewarding. Our lives have been so enriched by the variety of folks coming thru our front door over these past 8 years. We’ve made many dear lifelong friends and some folks have become like members of the family. So to all, our most heartfelt thanks! Realizing most people will probably skip this verbiage, in an effort to “cut to the chase” and secure one final reservation for class, just want to throw out a couple of housekeeping notes.
