Erev Rosh Hashanah 5780 by Rabbi Debbie Stiel
Erev Rosh Hashanah 5780 By Rabbi Debbie Stiel Aging Well: The Stories We Tell Ourselves and the Company We Keep Another year has gone by. And another one is starting. The years seem to come and go with increasing speed! And you and I don’t get any younger! Aging brings out a certain philosophical quality in many of us. We start to think about the days we have had and those left to us – especially when those remaining are fewer than those that we have had. It becomes natural to ask – ‘how might we best approach the time that remains to us?’ The famous Rabbi -Hillel taught us to think of both ourselves and others – “im ain ani li mi li, uchshani l‘atzmi ma ani. If I am not for myself who am I and if I am only for myself what am I.” This holy season is a good opportunity to ask ourselves both -am I doing what I need to for myself and am I helping others? Often, we focus on the altruistic second part. Tonight, I would like to focus on the first part of this equation. What can we do for ourselves to live life in a way in which we feel nourished, balanced, supported, resilient? First –we might wonder, why even ask this question? Aren’t we all feeling nurtured, positive, loved, hopeful most of the time? If you look on social media or watch the red carpet – you might think so! But the truth is that life is often challenging and even painful.

Shofar Quarterly Magazine
SHOFAR QUARTERLY MAGAZINE rpua Winter 2018 | 5779 For this winter edition of the Shofar, we continue our year-long theme, “The world stands on Torah, Avodah and Gemilat Chesed,” by focusing on Avodah. In modern Hebrew, Avodah means work. In Biblical times, it refers to sacrificial worship. For the rabbis of this teaching, it means prayer. Prayer is an offering of our heart, an expression of our gratitude, our praise, our contrition, our dreams and desires. In that way, prayer is a pillar of our world and a central focus of what we do at Beth El. Heart Healthy. Heart Holy. By Rabbi Alexander Davis Recently, a study published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology indicates that wearing to tefillin can reduce heart disease. “People who wear tefillin in either the short or long-term, recorded a measurable positive effect on their blood flow. That has been associated with better outcomes in heart disease,” said Dr. Jack Rubinstein, a cardiologist and associate professor at the University of Cincinnati, who co-authored the study. Those who wear tefillin have better blood flow; the tight wrapping creates a type of preconditioning that offers protection against “acute ischemic reperfusion injury.” I’m not a doctor so I have no idea what those words mean! But as a rabbi, I concur: tefillin are good for the heart. That’s a lesson I only learned later in life. Growing up, I didn’t know anything about tefillin. I never saw my father or grandfather wear them. I didn’t receive a pair as a hand-me- Tefillin are down for my bar mitzvah.

Ohio Valley's RCVP Network Packet!
Ohio Valley’s RCVP Network Packet! Created by Emma Zelkind, the RCVP of NFTY’s Ohio Valley 2018-2019 with the help of past NFTY and RCVP’s resources. In order to reach me: Phone number: (513)-444-5812 Email: [email protected] Twitter: ov_rcvp Instagram: emma_zelkind Snapchat: emma_zelkind Dear RCVP’s for the 5778-5779 year, Hey! And welcome to your RCVP network (it’s an awesome one)! It is important to remember that we are all here since we are Jewish and that it is what connects all of us together. With this in mind it it is our job as RCVP’s to ask the question “what about this program is Jewish?” Amd if there isn’t one it is our jobs to create one. This packet, throughout the year, will aid you in doing so. You will need to put in work in order to create amazing programs, but trust me when you see your impact on the Jewish teens around you, you will know that it was all worth it! Since we only have a handful of regional events every year it is all of your jobs to make sure that NFTY makes a huge impact throughout the year! An RCVP’s job is to not only plan amazing and unique service and cultural programs, but to find a religious connection to every program that you TYG creates. You will find that even though there are so many amazing values in judaism you might find a program that doesn’t fit into a specific Jewish value, but that is okay! Continue working with your board on the rest of the programs to find their Jewish components.

tbsl tyrxs SHACHARIT L’SHABBAT Shabbat Morning Connection i Kabbalah4All Transliteration Guidelines Please note that transliteration guidelines are different according to each culture and also within each movement of Judaism. We have developed these guidelines for use with our transliterated documents. They may or may not apply to transliterations put out by other movements including the various organizations teaching Kabbalah. a as in Creator ai as in aisle e as in red ei as in eight i as in pizza o as in no oy as in toy u as in tune ch as in Bach in German (strong sound from the throat) g as in give tz as in lots ’ typically adds an “EH” sound after a consonant, this is known as a Shva Na or pronounced Shva as in the word “Sh’ma”. - a dash is simply used to aid in pronounciation, usually if two like vowels follow each other, as in the word “da-at.” In Hebrew, the accent generally falls on the last syllable, however it sometimes falls somewhere else in the word. In our transliteration, when the syllable falls somewhere else other than the last syllable, that stressed syllable will be underlined. Example: Melech. Hebrew Rules The following are some of the Hebrew rules you may notice in our siddurim (connection books). In Hebrew, the accent generally falls on the last syllable, however it sometimes falls Kjl¤ n«¤ somewhere else in the word. Whenever a syllable other than the last is accented, a “meteg” (the vertical line under the first letter) will appear. The “masoret” above the letter Chaf indicates that this is a Kamatz Katan, which is lkÇ¨ pronounced as “o”; in this example the word is “kol.” The “rafe” above a letter indicates it is a Shva Na.

Grade Objectives
The following are the learning objectives approved for the Religious School. In addition to these learning objectives, we have many other parts of our school program such as our Music program, Mensch character recognition, Clergy in the Classroom, Shabbat and holiday programs, mitzvah trips, Family programs, etc. The objectives below do not state HOW the teacher presents this material (such as our Hebrew Through Movement program to introduce the language). It also does not explicitly state the Jewish values that are infused in our whole school and modeled by our teachers, teen madrichim, and fellow classmates. Although we often share our love of Judaism as a whole way of life, the learning objectives are divided into the following topics: Judaic Basics *Demonstrate mitzvot(commandments) and middot(values) of Judaism, making choices based on Jewish ethics and values *Identify central themes and ethical messages within the Torah and integrate them into our lives *Explore personal relationship with G-d and with Jewish community *Identify religious texts and basic Jewish religious thoughts and practices Hebrew: * Value Hebrew as the language that binds the Jewish people together through generations, as the language of the Torah and our siddur, and as the language of modern Israel *Be comfortable reading from the siddur *Translate key Hebrew prayer vocabulary *Develop a solid foundation of modern Hebrew vocabulary Prayer: *Understand why we pray and to whom we are praying *develop kavanah (intent/spirit) * Pray with comprehension, by understanding

Siddur for Shabbat
úáùì øåãéñ Siddur for Shabbat úáùì øåãéñ Siddur for Shabbat David Singer, Editor Berkeley Hillel 5763 2003 i ii Contents Preface iv On Usage v Shabbat Evening Service 1 Shabbat Morning Service 43 Havdalah 95 Supplementary Prayers 97 Songs 103 iii Preface This siddur was first created by the Reform minyan at UC Berkeley, California in the spring of 2003. In deciding to compile this siddur, students embarked on an ambitious process: how could they best combine over twenty distinct creative service packets into one inclusive and comprehensive siddur which would suit the needs of the Berkeley Reform Jewish community’s prayer in all circumstances for years to come? Further, the prayer service, while in need of energy and creativity, was also worthy of respect and in due need of a certain amount of structure which service packets could not provide. It is our hope that this siddur meets that need, and accordingly that it can and will be used for Erev and Shacharit Shabbat and Havdalah services as well as song sessions. Further, it is our hope that this siddur will help to meet the same need in other youth and young adult minyanim for years to come. We thank the many people who have helped to make this siddur a reality, especially to those who spent countless hours compiling and editing. To David Singer, Melissa Loeffler, Jill Cozen-Harel, Becky Gimbel, David Abraham and Athalia Markowitz special thanks are due. The original printing of this siddur would not be possible if not for the generous financial support provided by Temple Beth El of Berkeley, CA.
