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.
