Calendar of Torah and Haftarah Readings 5773 - 5775 2012 – 2015 Calendar of Torah and Haftarah Readings 5773 - 5775 2012 – 2015 Notes: The Calendar of Torah readings follows a triennial cycle whereby in the first year of the cycle the reading is selected from the first part of the parashah, in the second year from the middle, and in the third year from the last part. Alternative selections are offered each Shabbat: a shorter reading (around twenty verses) and a longer one (around thirty verses). The readings are a guide and congregations may choose to read more or less from within that part of the parashah. On certain special Shabbatot, a special second (or exceptionally, third) scroll reading is read in addition to the week’s portion. Haftarah readings are chosen to parallel key elements in the section of the Torah being read and therefore vary from one year in the triennial cycle to the next. Some of the suggested haftarot are from taken from k’tuvim (Writings) rather than n’vi’ivm (Prophets). When this is the case the appropriate, adapted blessings can be found on page 245 of the Movement for Reform Judaism’s siddur, Seder Ha-t’fillot. This calendar follows the Biblical definition of the length of festivals. Outside Israel, Orthodox communities add a second day to some festivals and this means that for a few weeks their readings may be out of step with Reform/Liberal communities and all those in Israel. There are some instances where there is a discrepancy in the chapter and verse divisions between Jewish and non-Jewish editions of the Bible. As this calendar follows the Jewish system, it is advised that a Jewish edition of the Bible is used for all readings. This calendar is based in form and content on the previous calendars edited by Rabbis Jonathan Romain and Reuven Silverman. The readings are also published as part of the calendar on the Movement for Reform Judaism website (http://www.reformjudaism.org.uk).

  • Psalm 19 God's Two Books Prayer
    Psalm 19 God’s two books Prayer: please join me in prayer… Introduction: 20 years ago, the coworker sitting in the cubicle next to me stood up, turned around, and faced me. Then he confidently said, “Dave, I will believe in God when he speaks to me. Until that happens I refuse to believe that God exists. Surely, if God exists then he would speak to me. Right???” Some of you have probably asked the same question. You wonder why God has not spoken to you? This is a legitimate question. If you have wondered this, you are not alone. Does God speak to us? If so how does he speak to us, and what is he saying? This brings us to Psalm 19. According to Psalm 19 God is speaking to all of us, all the time. In fact, God speech is so constant that we have learned to tune it out. But if we stop to listen we will be transformed and amazed. This morning we will look at three aspects of God’s speech from Psalm 19… God speaks through the skies God speaks through the scriptures God speaks through the son. First, God speaks through the skies How??? God speaks through the stars in the skies. Psalm 19:1 (ESV) — 1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. The heavens and the skies refer to the stars of the night sky. David’s point is simple. The stars speak of the glory and splendor of their creator. But what exactly do they say? Illustration: The stars speak of God’s vastness and infinite power… The biggest and brightest known star in our own galaxy is Eta Carinae.

  • Psalms Reading Plan
    Introduction Connecting with God through Scripture and prayer is a vital part of our renewal process. “If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing”. John 15:5B True renewal does not only happen at the organizational level of a church, but it also needs to happen in the hearts of people being stirred and made alive through the Spirit’s renewing wind. The Psalms are heart-songs of the people of God. Psalms enable our worship and give us prayerful language to live in abiding relationships with God, ourselves and our neighbors. Together, let’s commit to remain in Christ by spending time in the Psalms this summer. Consider these creative ways to engage with the Psalms: • Start each quiet time with a prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to speak to you through your time in the word. • Write out a verse or two from the Psalms each day. • Pray the Psalm you are reading. • Read the same Psalm several times, underlining a few key words or phrases that stick out to you. • Journal through a Psalm by recording your thoughts as you read. • Write out a verse from Psalms on a sticky note and place it where you will see it often through out the week. • Memorize a verse or several verses from the Psalms. • Read a Psalm out loud. • Read a Psalm in multiple versions of the Bible (try the Message to hear the words in a fresh way; biblegateway.com is a great resource).

  • A Hebrew Exegesis of Psalm 136
    Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary Pittsburgh, PA “For Unceasing is His Covenant Mercy” A Hebrew Exegesis of Psalm 136 A paper submitted to Professor C. J. Williams OT53, Old Testament Exegesis by Grant Van Leuven in candidacy for the Mastery of Divinity degree May 17, 2010 Submitted to the RPCNA Presbytery of the Alleghenies Reflecting feedback from Professor Williams and some corrections June 1, 2010 Updated September 23, 2010, reflecting further study and a change in verse one. Introduction A survey of the Old Testament will show that a constant reminder given to the people of God is a review of their history—both in terms of having been chosen by God as a peculiar people, but also in how that identity and relationship played out through major redemptive acts. For instance, the first nine chapters of First Chronicles is a major genealogy that then zooms in on David and the monarchy, through the exile, and finally to the decree of Persian King Cyrus to return the Israelites to Jerusalem. And these reviews of Israel’s history in the Old Testament are especially focused on how God delivers them from numerous foes and often His own punishments imposed on them for their own wickedness. What has particularly peaked my interest as a relatively new psalm singer is how much the major epochs of redemptive history make up much of the subject matter of the Psalter. The impetus of studying Psalm 136 for this exegesis paper was my fascination with Psalms that particularly draw on the history of Israel as a significant theme for its worship.

  • The Ending of the Amidah
    The Ending of the Amidah During the last couple of months we’ve heard divrei tefillah about the Amidah, one of the oldest and most important parts of our services. Rabbi Jordan Bendat- Appell discussed the opening blessings, both as a formula and as a way of approaching God. Marshall Steinbaum talked about the climactic expression of transcendance in the kedusha, and Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg discussed the middle blessings, special for Shabbat, particularly the idea of our Shabbat rest as an offering of our true selves. We turn now to the ending of the Amidah, three blessings common to Shabbat shacharit and Musaf, and to daily services as well. Although these blessings may not have the awesomeness of those earlier ones which spoke of the mighty God of our ancestors, of holiness and covenant and Shabbat, I find the closing three blessings intensely personally touching. In the following I’ll be discussing the prayers that appear on pages 118 - 120 for Shacharit, and pages159 -161 for Musaf. I’ll quote only parts of the text, and I’ll be using a translation I prefer to that in our siddur. The first blessing is called Avodah and refers to a return to Temple worship “v’hashev et ha’avodah lidvir betecha.” But, besides reference to the Temple, there are the words “r’tzeh ... b’amcha yisrael u-v’t’filatam,” find favor in your people Israel and in their prayers. “u-t’filatam b’ahava t’kabel b’ratzon,” and accept their prayers in love. “u- t’hi l’ratzon tamid avodat yisrael amecha” and may the service of your people Israel always be favorable.
