Our Clergy, Staff, and Lay Leadership Welcome You! Jill L. Maderer Our Clergy, Staff, and Lay Leadership Welcome You! Jill L. Maderer, Senior Rabbi Eli C. Freedman, Rabbi Rita Glassman, Cantor Alan D. Fuchs, Rabbi Emeritus William I. Kuhn, Rabbi Emeritus Henry B. Bernstein, President Jeffrey W. Katz, Executive Director Jennifer D. James, Director of Youth Education Andrea S. Miller, Buerger Early Learning Center Jewish Engagement Shabbat Morning Service Introduction to the Saturday Morning Service Often, at the Saturday morning service, we celebrate a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, a 13 year old’s rite of passage into Judaism. “Bar Mitzvah” literally means “son of the commandment.” “Bar” is “son” and “Bat” is “daughter.” “Mitzvah” is “commandment” in Hebrew. The Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony formally marks the occasion when one has the right to take part in leading religious services and to perform mitzvot/commandments. It is an opportunity to welcome the man/woman into our congregation as an official member of the Jewish community. In its earliest and most basic form, a Bar/Bat Mitzvah is the celebrant's first Aliyah (literally “going up”), the honor of saying the blessings before and after the reading of the Torah (the handwritten scroll of the 5 books of Moses). The Torah is the first part of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Tanakh, which also includes the Prophets (e.g. Jeremiah, Isaiah) and the Writings (e.g. Psalms, Proverbs). At Rodeph Shalom, a Bar/Bat Mitzvah student learns and recites the weekly Torah portion and the haftarah portion (selection from the Prophets) in its traditional chant (trope). In our congregation, the celebrant also leads part of the service and gives a D’var Torah (literally a “word of Torah”), commonly referred to as the Bar/Bat Mitzvah speech. This speech gives the students a chance to speak about lessons that can be learned from reading, and interpret the weekly Torah portion. A Bar/Bat Mitzvah is not the goal of a Jewish education, nor does it mark the end of a person’s Jewish education. Rodeph Shalom encourages our teens to stay involved through high school, and offers further educational programs that culminate in a confirmation ceremony. It is customary to wish a hearty Mazel Tov (wish of congratulations) to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah and their families. Congregation Rodeph Shalom wishes you a Shabbat Shalom – peaceful Sabbath. 2 Saturday, Shabbat Morning Service April 10, 2021 Led by: Rabbi Jill Maderer, Rabbi Eli Freedman, Cantor Rita Glassman Bat Mitzvah: Hannah Jules Rubin, daughter of Chad & Erika Rubin Hannah Rubin, daughter of Chad & Erika Rubin and sister of Evan, will become a Bat Mitzvah on Saturday, April 10. Hannah is a 7th grader at Friends Select School. For her mitzvah project, Hannah shared awareness of Amyloidosis (the buildup of amyloid proteins in the heart, kidneys, liver, or other organs) by handing out pamphlets, doing research, and making a video to share in classes at school. 3 Shabbat Morning Torah Reading Parashat Sh’mini: Leviticus 9:22—10:9 22 Aaron lifted his hands toward the people 22 ַו ִּי ָּׂ֨ ָשא ַא ֲהֹ֧ רן ֶאת־ידו ] ָי ָָ֛דיו[ ֶאל־ ָה ָָ֖עם ַ וַֽ ְי ָב ְר ֵ֑כם and blessed them; and he stepped down after ַוֵּ֗ יֶרד מֲע ֹ֧ ש ַ ת הַח ָָ֛טאְת וָה ע ָָ֖לְהוַהְשָל ִּ מים׃ ,offering the sin offering, the burnt offering and the offering of well-being. 23 Moses and 23 ַוָיָּׂ֨בא מ ֶֶׁ֤שְה וַאֲהר֙ןֶ אל ֹ֣ ־אֶהל ֵ֔ מֹועַד וֹ֣יְצֵ֔אּו Aaron then went inside the Tent of Meeting. ַ וְַֽיָבֲרָ֖כֶּו אתָ־הֵָ֑עַם ו יָָ֥רְא כבֹודְ־יָָ֖הוֶה אלָ־כלָ־ה ָ עם׃ ;When they came out, they blessed the people and the Presence of The Eternal appeared to all 24 ַוֶׁ֤ת צ א א֙שִּ מִּלְפ ֹ֣ניְ י ֵָ֔הוַה ו֙ת ַאכ֙לַ עלַ־הִּמְז ֵ֔ בַח the people. 24 Fire came forth from before the ֶאתָ־הע ָָ֖לְהוֶאתַ־הֲחָל ִֵּ֑ביַם וַיְֶַֽׁ֤ראָכלָ־הָע֙םַ וָיֵ֔ רּנּו LORD and consumed the burnt offering and ַ וַֽ ִּי ְפ ָ֖לּו ַעל־ ְפ ני ֶ הם׃ 1 ַו ִּי ְק ֹ֣חּו ְב ני־ַ֠ ַא ֲה רן ָנ ָָּׂ֨דב the fat parts on the altar.

He is King of heaven and He is High Priest of heaven. He is the fulfillment of the family of king David and also the family of high priest Zadok of the Aaronic Priesthood. Learn just how Yeshua fulfilled the Aaronic Priesthood in the flesh at His first coming; and what were these Old Testament prophesies … Learn more about the real mysteries that existed between Miriam, Yeshua’s mother from the family of David (Judah), and her close relative Elisheva of Aaron; learn their family secret … Learn how Zechariah and his son Yochanan were the last of the mystery Zadok high priests of the Aaronic Priesthood … Learn more about the real mystery existing between Yeshua and His cousin Yochanan, sent to prepare the Way of the LORD; and why did Yeshua say, “Permit it to be so now to fulfill all Righteousness!” Gain greater insights regarding the mysteries carried in the Blood of Yeshua; to help experience more of the Blood’s full Power … Learn greater biblical knowledge needed for sharing the Salvation message of Yeshua with the Orthodox religious Jews, for God said that He would only accept the blood of Atonement offering made by a priest who is from the sons of the Zadok high priest family … The Jerusalem Temple will soon be built by the Orthodox religious Jews, who need priests to serve who are sons of Zadok.

WHY LITERAL SACRIFICES IN THE MILLENNIUM Tom's Perspectives by Thomas Ice A common objection to the consistent literal interpretation of Bible prophecy is found in Ezekiel’s Temple vision (Ezek. 40—48). Opponents argue that if this is a literal, future Temple, then it will require a return to the sacrificial system that Christ made obsolete since the prophet speaks of “atonement” (kiper) in Ezekiel 43:13, 27; 45:15, 17, 20. This is true! Critics believe this to be a blasphemous contradiction to the finished work of Christ as presented in Hebrews 10. Hank Hanegraaff says that I have “exacerbated the problem by stating that without animal sacrifices in the Millennium, Yahweh’s holiness would be defiled. That, for obvious reasons, is blasphemous.” He further says that such a view constitutes a return “to Old Covenant sacrifices.”1 “Is it heretical to believe that a Temple and sacrifices will once again exist,” ask John Schmitt and Carl Laney? “Ezekiel himself believed it was a reality and the future home of Messiah.

  • The Priestly Covenant
    1 THE PRIESTLY COVENANT THE SETTING OF THE PRIESTLY COVENANT Numbers begins with God commanding Moses to take a census of the people a little over a year after the Exodus The people have left Mt. Sinai and have begun their journey toward the promised land Numbers covers a period of time known as the wilderness wanderings, the time from when Israel departed Mt. Sinai to when they were about to enter the promised land (a period which lasted 38 years, 9 months and 10 days) The book is called “Numbers” because of the two censuses taken in Numbers 1 and 26 God told them how to arrange themselves as tribes around the tabernacle when camped (Num 2) The Levites were given instructions regarding their special role (Num 3, 4, 8) The people were given instructions regarding defilement and ceremonial uncleanness (Num 5) Instructions regarding the Nazirites were given (Num 6) The people complained after leaving Sinai about their lack of meat so God provided quail (Num 11) Miriam and Aaron rebelled against Moses (Num 12) The 12 spies went into the land and brought back a report which led the people to rebel (Num 13-14) Korah led a rebellion of 250 leaders against Moses (Num 16) Moses and Aaron were told they would not enter the promised land due to Moses’ disobedience (Num 20) God sent a plague amongst the camp for their complaining and then provided the bronze serpent; they defeated Sihon and Og (Num 21) Balak, king of Moab, heard of this great conquering hoard, and sought for Balaam, a seer, to bring a curse on them (Num 22-24) But Balaam blessed Israel 3 different times instead of cursed them 2 “Balaam has spoken God’s word, and God has said that the promises of heir, covenant and land will indeed be fulfilled.

  • Atonement Sacrifices (Part 1)
    SESSION 10 Atonement Sacrifices (Part 1) Summary and Goal The first three kinds of sacrifices described in Leviticus are the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the peace offering. The burnt offering was for the removal of the people’s guilt before God; the grain offering restored Israel to serve God and neighbor; and the peace offering was for reconciliation between God and His people. Because of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, we celebrate the removal of our guilt before God, the freedom to serve God on His mission, and the restoration of our relationship with God. Main Passages Leviticus 1:3-9 Leviticus 2:1-3 Leviticus 3:1-5 Session Outline 1. We need atonement to remove our guilt (Lev. 1:3-9; Heb. 9:12). 2. We need atonement to restore us to service (Lev. 2:1-3; John 12:24). 3. We need atonement to reconcile us to God (Lev. 3:1-5; Eph. 2:13). Theological Theme The burnt offering was for the removal of the people’s guilt before God; the grain offering restored Israel to serve God and neighbor; and the peace offering was for the reconciliation between God and His people. Christ Connection Because of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, we celebrate the removal of our guilt before God, the freedom to serve God on His mission, and the restoration of our relationship with God. Missional Application Because we have been freed from our guilt, God calls us to serve Him by serving others. Date of My Bible Study: ______________________ 115 © 2015 LifeWay Christian Resources.

  • March 24, 2019 the Burnt Offering
    March 24, 2019 The Burnt Offering - Leviticus 1 An Overview of the five offerings 1) The Burnt Offering speaks of total consecration – Christ was totally consumed for us! He gave all that He had. He died for us. When He said, “It is finished,” there was nothing left. 2) The Meal Offering was the only “bloodless” offering because it doesn’t speak of Christ’s death but rather His sinless life! It was an offering of “unleavened” meal because leaven in the Bible is a picture of sin. Jesus was the “unleavened” Bread of Life! 3) The Peace Offering speaks of our peace with God made possible only through the death (burnt offering) and sinless life (meal offering) of Christ! It pictures Romans 5:1, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ…” 4) The Sin Offering pictures Christ delivering us from the power of sin. (Romans 6:6-7) 5) The Trespass Offering speaks of Christ delivering us from the penalty of our sins. Christ has delivered us from the penalty of the specific sinful actions (trespasses) we’ve committed against God. (2 Corinthians 5:21) The five offerings are detailed twice in the book of Leviticus (Chapters 1-5 and again from Chapters 6:8- 7:38), but in two different orders… The first time they picture Christ’s sacrifice for us – the second time they picture oursacrifice for Christ! The first time they picture how a man receives peace with God – the second time they picture how a man receives the peace of God! The offerings are divided into two categories The first three offerings were “sweet” aroma offerings; they werevoluntary offerings and picture the redemption of sin.
