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. Behar – Bechukotai in a Nutshell https://www.chabad.org/parshah/article_cdo/aid/2904/jewish/Behar-Bechukotai-in-a-Nutshell.htm On the mountain of Sinai, G-d communicates to Moses the laws of the Sabbatical year: every seventh year, all work on the land should cease, and its produce becomes free for the taking for all, man and beast. Seven Sabbatical cycles are followed by a fiftieth year—the Jubilee year, on which work on the land ceases, all indentured servants are set free, and all ancestral estates in the Holy Land that have been sold revert to their original owners. Additional laws governing the sale of lands, and the prohibitions against fraud and usury, are also given. G-d promises that if the people of Israel will keep His commandments, they will enjoy material prosperity and dwell secure in their homeland. But He also delivers a harsh “rebuke,” warning of the exile, persecution and other evils that will befall them if they abandon their covenant with Him. Nevertheless, “Even when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away; nor will I ever abhor them, to destroy them and to break My covenant with them; for I am the L-rd their G-d.” The Parshah concludes with the rules on how to calculate the values of different types of pledges made to G-d.

  • Vayeshev 5777 Torah and Football Rabbi Barry Leff This Week's Torah
    Vayeshev 5777 Torah and Football Rabbi Barry Leff This week’s Torah portion, Vayeshev, starts with Joseph having a dream. In that regard, it’s similar to football season, which also starts with a dream. Most teams only dream of having the kind of season Alabama’s having this year. In Joseph’s dream his eleven brothers are gathered around him, bowing down to him. Football is similar – you’ve got eleven brothers bowing down to a coach. In the Torah, of course, it’s God who makes dreams come true. In football, it’s Nick Saban who makes dreams come true. Of course, there are those who have compared Nick Saban to God, and certainly at least here in Alabama, football is right up there as a religion. Judaism is full of arcane rules about how the game of life is played. Football is full of arcane rules about how the sport is played. The rules in both have a great deal of precision. Candle lighting time for Shabbat candles is 18 minutes before sundown. Not just “before sundown.” Not 17 minutes and not 19 minutes. Eighteen minutes. A football field is 53 yards wide. Not 52, not 54, but 53 yards. Football has an offense and a defense. In Judaism too, we have an offense and a defense. The offense is called Satan, the accuser. The defense, your protection, is all the good stuff you’ve done in your life. When you do a mitzvah you create an angel which strengthens your defense. A football game starts with a ceremony: the coin toss, which leads to the kickoff.

  • Andy Russell's Dvar Torah Abraham Heschel Wrote That
    Andy Russell’s Dvar Torah Abraham Heschel wrote that “To pray is to take notice of the wonder, to regain a sense of the mystery that animates all beings, the divine margin in all attainments.” My journey to this day started with prayer. I was raised by Jewish parents who called themselves secular humanists. We observed shabbat and all the major holidays, but with our own secular blessings rather than traditional Jewish prayers. I went to Hebrew school and learned Jewish history, holidays, heritage, and language, but no prayers. I was encouraged to connect with my own spirituality through the lens of Judaism but was given no guidelines. After 5 years of Hebrew school, my brother and I had our b’nei mitzvah in Israel, on top of Masada. We each read a poem or passage in Hebrew and then our own translations into English. It was a beautiful and memorable ceremony but bore no resemblance to a traditional bar or bat mitzvah. There was no Torah; there were no traditional prayers. For years I felt strangely out of place in synagogue – surrounded by Jews celebrating familiar holidays and events, but with prayers and rituals that I knew nothing about. I realized that I grew up steeped in the spirit of kavanah - the more personal intentional dimension of prayer, but without keva – the fixed nature of prayer, to anchor me in tradition. The blessings I grew up speaking and hearing were beautiful, and full of personal meaning, but when I attended synagogue, which I did more and more frequently as I grew older, I realized I did not share a common language with other Jews.

  • PARASHAT SHEMINI the Sin of Nadav and Avihu and the Animals
    PARASHAT SHEMINI The Sin of Nadav and Avihu and the Animals Prohibited for Consumption By Rav Amnon Bazak A. The Problem In the aftermath of the tragic death of Nadav and Avihu, the Torah suddenly interrupts the narrative with a command highlighting an additional function of the kohanim: And to distinguish between the holy and the profane, and between the impure and the pure; and to instruct Bnei Yisrael concerning all of the statutes which God spoke to them at the hand of Moshe. (10:10-11) These verses set forth the framework for the chapters that follow in chiastic order. First, the Torah discusses the differences between the impure and the pure, in terms of the types of animals that may be eaten and those that may not (chapter 11), and the various types of impurity and purity (Parashot Acharei Mot, Tazri'a, and Metzora); thereafter, it addresses the differences between the holy and the profane (Parashot Kedoshim andEmor). What do these categories and the differentiation between them have to do with the sin of Nadav and Avihu? Why are the kohanim given the new job of differentiating between the holy and profane and between the impure and the pure specifically here, in the midst of the events of the "eighth day"? In order to answer this question, let us examine the animals forbidden as food as listed in chapter 11. We will find two groups of prohibitions in this chapter, and we will discuss the connection between them and the story of the death of Nadav and Avihu.

  • Matot - Massei
    Matot - Massei MATOT In this weeks' Parshah, the Torah tells us to be very careful about making promises so that we don’t accidentally break them. Instead of making a promise, one should say “I hope I can . .” Last week, we read how Pinchas killed Zimri and the Midianite woman when they tried to marry against G-d’s will. G-d now commands the Jewish people to wage war against the Midianites for trying to convince the Jews to act immorally and worship idols. Moshe chooses 1,000 men from each of the twelve tribes to serve as soldiers and appoints Pinchas as one of the leaders of the army. When the Midianites see the Jewish army coming to fight them, they laugh and say, “The Jewish army is so small, we will win over them for sure!” However, with G-d’s help, the Jewish army is victorious over the Midianites without losing even one soldier. After the war is over, two tribes, Reuven and Gad, approach Moshe to make a request. They ask him if they can settle with their families on the east side of the Jordan River instead of crossing the river and entering the Land of Israel. “Why didn’t they want to join the rest of the Jewish People and enter into land of Israel?” you might wonder. Well, these two tribes owned a lot of cattle. They noticed that the land on the east of the Jordan was very fertile, with rich, green grass for their cattle to graze. Also, they knew that Moshe would not be buried in the Land of Israel and so they wanted to remain near Moshe’s burial place.

  • Ki Tavo Nidhe Israel 2020
    1 of 3 で ’ わ゙る D’var Torah Nidhe Israel Ki Tavo: “And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and dost possess it, and dwell therein;” (Deuteronomy 26:1). One of themes with which this week’s Torah portion Ki Tavo deals with is the relationship between God and the people of Israel as we read: “You have affirmed this day that the Lord is your, God, that you will walk in His ways, that you will observe His laws and commandments and rules, and that you will obey Him. And the Lord has affirmed this day that you are, as He promised you, His treasured people who shall observe all His commandments. (Deuteronomy 26:17-18) What does this mean? how is our relationship to God and what is God’s relationship with us. I loved William Norman Ewer’s jingle: “How odd Of God To choose The Jews” and then the Jewish response which goes as follows: “Not quite So odd – The Jews Chose God” There is no doubt that it was the Children of Israel who chose God as we can see from the words in Exodus 24:7 “And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the hearing of the people; and they said: “All that the LORD hath spoken will we do, and obey.” It was without questioning that the Israelites accepted God’s words and instructions. However as we know no relationship can be one sided, and so God would have needed to accept us as people He can as it were work with and who can and would fulfil His commandments and He would thus in return be our partner.

Since March we have struggled with increasing 7:45 am restrictions and numbing isolation. Our celebrations are Shacharit Hashkama 8:45 am curtailed and our social interactions are minimal, and now Shacharit Sephardic 9:15 am we find ourselves in the Three Weeks period before Tish A Shacharit Joel Shiff/Main 8:10 pm B’Av and it hardly feels different from the past four months. Mincha Shiur with Rabbi Miller 8:25 pm I have been exploring new understandings of this Three Maariv 9:05 pm Week period. Our son Rabbi Yonah Hain at Columbia Shabbos Ends 9:11 pm University Hillel has shared with me some remarkable ideas and I hope to share them with you next week in a two part IN THIS ISSUE Zoom series – “ The Challenge of Lamentation” Monday, & Tuesday, July 20-21. 1 The Longest Three Weeks Rabbi Hain Much of our tradition focuses on the anticipation of what will 2 On the 5T's Vaad HaKashrus happen after the Three Week period of sadness. A Midrash Rabbi Fogel from Eicha Rabba 1:2 demonstrates this approach: 4 An Alternate Ending to the Torah “…she has no comforter…” (Lamentations 1:2) – R.
