(L-R) Magny Mahmud, Imam Mohammad Qatanani, Rabbi David Ross Senter,

Bishop Mark Beckwith and Father Bill Potter.

This Siddur is dedicated to the memory my dear friend

Father William Potter

who served as a relief chaplain at ground zero.

Father Potter died of cancer on May 29, 2011. It is theorized that his cancer was a direct

result of exposure at ground zero.

Father Potter loved every human being regardless of their faith, race or social status.

He was the personification of a true Tzadik (righteous individual).

May his memory serve as an inspiration and a blessing.

An Introduction To Our Synagogue

An Introduction to the SynagogueThank you for joining us for Shabbat services. We have prepared this introduction to explain ourservices and familiarize you with our community.

Our HistoryThe first mention of a Jewish family living in Portsmouth is found in Brewster’s “Rambles AboutPortsmouth”. Abraham and Rachel Isaac settled in Portsmouth around 1780. By the late 1880’s, therewas a nucleus of Jewish residents who tried to maintain their Jewish traditions. In order to conductreligious services, they would meet at various homes. This early group of residents invited friends andrelatives to settle in Portsmouth. At the turn of the century, there were about 30 Jewish families livingin Portsmouth. Several meetings were held and the group formalized as the Temple of Israel.

In 1911, the State Street Methodist Church offered their building for sale. Temple of Israel agreed topurchase the church building. They occupied the new synagogue in the fall of 1912. In 1967 TempleIsrael, now with a membership of 125 families, expanded by adding a Community Center featuring asocial hall, classrooms, a library, temple office, and rabbi’s office.

Temple Israel has continued to enjoy a steady growth through the settlement of Jewish families in theSeacoast area. In the 2005 the Temple renovated the entire facility to accommodate a membership of300 families and a religious school with an enrollment of over 100 children.

For a more complete history of our community please see page 8.

The Synagogue The synagogue serves as the central gathering place of the Jewish community. The primary functionof a synagogue is to serve as place of worship. It also serves as a place of study, and as acommunity center. The Hebrew for synagogue is beit k'neset, literally translated house of assembly.The word synagogue finds its origins in the Greek word synagogue which also means assembly.

Conservative JudaismThe Conservative Movement is one of three main branches of Judaism. The movement affirms loyaltyto Jewish law and tradition, while developing new responses to our evolving society. Egalitarian inpractice, our synagogue gives equal rights and responsibilities to women and men.

Our CongregationTemple Israel is an inclusive congregation with members of varied levels of observance; interfaithfamilies and Jews by choice are an integral part of our synagogue family. We appreciate andwelcome diverse family structures into our community.

Our RabbiRabbi David Ross Senter is a fourth generation rabbi, who maintains a tradition of strong rabbinicleadership. He brings a unique blend of innovation and tradition to the congregation. Our rabbi has ahands-on approach which engages people of all ages. Children, adults and seniors relate to him astheir friend and rabbi.

Symbols / Etiquette

Congregational SymbolsHoly Ark: The Holy Ark (Aron Kodesh) in the center of the pulpit (Bimah) contains the Torah Scrolls.When the doors of the Ark are open, those present stand as a symbol of respect. The Ark is situatedso that when facing the Ark, the congregation is also facing towards Jerusalem.

Eternal Light: This lamp (Ner Tamid) is directly above the Holy Ark. The perpetual light burnscontinuously as a symbol of God’s presence and the permanence of the Torah and the Jewish faith.

Torah: The Torah contains the Five Books of Moses. It is handwritten on parchment. The text andcalligraphy of the Torah has not changed for over 3000 years. During Saturday morning services theTorah is taken from the Ark and a portion (parsha) is read. The entire Torah is read over the course of3 years.

Bimah: The Bimah is the raised platform area used for conducting the service. In the center of theBimah is the Shulchan, a lectern used by those leading the service, and/or reading from the Torah.

Siddur: Our prayer book is known as the Siddur. The word is derived from the Hebrew word meaning"order". The book contains the order of our service. The numbering of the book is in the Hebrewtraditional order of going from right to left, which causes the front and back of the book to reverse.

Chumash: This book contains the Torah readings (Hebrew Bible), and the Haftorah readings(selections from the Prophets), along with English translations and explanatory notes. Pages will beannounced so that you will be able to follow the order of the service.

Synagogue EtiquetteTalking during the service: Greeting friends is encouraged, as friends and community are keycomponents of synagogue life. Please refrain from talking during the service, as it is disruptive to theprayer experience.

Electronic Communications: The use of beepers and cellular phones during the service isdisruptive to the prayer experience. Please deactivate these devices prior to entering the sanctuary. Ifyou are expecting an emergency call, please use the vibrate mode. Moreover, in the spirit of Shabbat,unless it is an emergency, please do not place cell phone calls or use other communication devices inthe building on the Sabbath.

Children: Children are always welcome. We understand that young ones may not behave perfectlyduring the service. However, if the noise level is excessive, you may want to use the lobby areaoutside the Sanctuary to calm a crying child. Shul sacks containing quiet toys and books for childrenare available on the shelf in the rear of the sanctuary..

Photography: Please refrain from using audio or visual recording devices on the Sabbath.

Head Coverings for Men: It is a long-standing tradition to wear a head covering when entering asynagogue. This is considered essential to show modesty and reverence to God. The typical headcovering used is a small, lightweight cap (of various colors) called a Kippah (Hebrew) or Yarmulka(Yiddish). All male visitors are asked to cover their heads in deference to our custom.

Head Coverings for Women: In accordance with egalitarian practice women are similarlyencouraged (but not required) to wear a head covering. A thin white lace covering is available for use.A Kippah may also be used by women.

Synagogue Etiquette

Tallit: (Prayer Shawl) A Tallit is worn during the morning service in fulfillment of a commandment inthe Book of Numbers to have fringes on the corners of our garments. The long strands and knots inthe fringes represent the commandments that tie Jews to God and to our faith. The size and color ofthe Tallit is not regulated. The Tallit is worn by members of the congregation who have celebratedtheir Bar/Bat Mitzvah (see page 12).

Choreography of Prayer: The idea that body movement can express devotion, appears in the Bookof Psalms: "All my limbs shall say 'Who is like You, Ah-do-nai?'” (35:10). Tradition applies this textquite literally by incorporating specific actions into our prayer service. This prayer book has severalicons that will help guide you in the choreography of prayer. These icons are pictured and explainedbelow.

Standing: Several prayers and ritual actions are accentuated by the congregation through the action of standing.

Standing during prayer is considered an action of respect.

You may be seated. Bowing: Bowing is considered an act of humility before God. Judaism has a special procedure for bowing during prayer:

First you bend the knees a bit in, then you bend forward while straightening the

knees, then you stand straight.

History of Temple Israel

A Brief History of Temple Israel and the Portsmouth Jewish Community

By George Sherman, Temple Historian

The first mention of a Jewish family living in Portsmouth is found in Brewster’s “Rambles AboutPortsmouth”. Abraham and Rachel Isaac settled in Portsmouth around 1780. They came to Americafrom Prussia. Mr. Isaac become an auctioneer and later started a china shop. The Isaacs were areligious family, observed the Jewish holidays and kept their shop closed on Saturday. They adopteda son, who left Portsmouth for New Salem, New Hampshire, where he married a minister’s daughter.After Mr. Isaac’s death, his wife left the area to live with her adopted son.

The next fifty years provided no official record of Jewish families living in Portsmouth. There wereseveral families who did come here from Germany, but they did not form or maintain a Jewishcommunity. The children of these families eventually left the city.

By the late 1880’s, there was a nucleus of Jewish residents who tried to maintain their Jewishtraditions. At this time there were approximately 16 families living in Portsmouth. Religious serviceswere conducted at various homes.

This early group of residents invited friends and relatives to settle in Portsmouth. At the turn of thecentury, there were about 30 Jewish families living in Portsmouth. In 1905, Morris Port moved toPortsmouth from Newburyport, Massachusetts. He came from an established Jewish community anddecided that the local Portsmouth residents should become organized.

Several meetings were held and a group was formed which elected officers, including a president,vice president, treasurer, clerk and three trustees. This first organized congregation rented a roomwhere meetings were held and religious services conducted. They called themselves the Temple ofIsrael.

The temple’s first order of business was to find a religious leader. An advertisement was placed in theJewish newspapers of Boston and New York. The ad was answered by Harry Liberson who wasimmediately hired. Along with his work as religious leader in conducting services, he also taughtHebrew school and prepared children for Bar Mitzvah. Among his other attributers, Liberson was anexpert in the laws of kosher meat processing. He opened the first kosher butcher shop in Portsmouth.

History of Temple Israel The second order of business was to establish a Jewish burial ground. Until that time, Jews wereburied in Somersworth, NH. A committee representing Temple of Israel purchased an acre of land onBanfield Road in Portsmouth from John Hett. This became Temple Israel Cemetery and the first Jewswere buried there in 1908. The area continues to be used as a Jewish cemetery.

In 1910 Temple of Israel drafted its first set of bylaws which was accepted by the congregation.Temple of Israel became a legal religious group recognized by the city, county and state.

The third crucial need was to find a proper building to be used as a synagogue. In 1911, theMethodist Church on State Street offered their building for sale. A committee of the Jewishcongregation negotiated and agreed to buy the church building. They occupied the new synagogue inthe fall of 1912, with elaborate festivities, including a parade and speeches by notables. By this time,the community had increased to 38 families and was continuing to grow.

The Jewish families settled in an area close to the synagogue. Soon an area near the waterfrontbecame a large Jewish settlement. This section was referred to as the “Puddledock” area. There weretwo kosher butcher stores, a Jewish bakery, and three Jewish grocery stores located there. Todaymost of the area has been restored and is better known as the Strawberry Banke area, with historicalhouses and museums.

Of the many families who came to Portsmouth in the World War I years, many came to work at thePortsmouth Naval Shipyard while others opened businesses. After the war, some families left thearea but the Portsmouth Jewish community had then grown to 50 families.

The synagogue was redecorated in 1920. The Cohen vestry was used for social events and aHebrew school classroom. The community continued to grow and by World War II the membershiphad risen to 75. The name of the congregation was shortened to Temple Israel.

In 1940 an adjacent building was purchased for use as a Hebrew school. In 1967 Temple Israel, nowwith a membership of 125 families, expanded by adding a Community Center. In 2005 the Templebegan a process of renovation and renewal. The process resulted in remedial preservation work thatbrought the existing structure into the twenty-first century while preserving its historic integrity. Theupdated building includes a rejuvenated social hall and Schmoozatorium. Two new centers wereadded, The Pamela Shulman Center For Jewish Education and the Nancy Mae Shaines MemorialLibrary & Media Center.

Temple Israel has continued to enjoy a steady growth through the settlement of Jewish families in theSeacoast area. In the past ten years many young professionals have relocated here. Now, in the newmillennium, the membership is over 300 families with over 750 members, and the religious school hasan enrollment of over 100 children.

Special Occasions During a ServiceBaby Naming: It is customary to bring baby girls to the synagogue to be named in the presence ofthe Congregation. This may occur any time, but usually in the first few months of life. The giving of aHebrew name signifies the joining of the girl into the community.

At the time of a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, the childaccepts the role of being an adult in the Jewish community. This can occur without any type ofceremony. However, it is customary for the B’nai Mitzvah to be called to the Torah for the first time asa demonstration of their willingness to participate in the religious life of the Jewish community.

About Shalom Aleichem - Welcoming AngelsShalom Aleichem is traditionally sung at the Shabbat dinner table. Introduced in the sixteenth century by theKabbalists, the author is unknown. According to legend two angels, one good and one bad, escort us from synagogueon Friday night. If the house is messy, the parents are unhappy, the children are fighting, and the atmosphere is notpeaceful, then the Angel of Evil rejoices and says, "May every Shabbat be just like this one," and the Angel of Good isforced to agree. But if the angels see the house clean, the candles lit, and the family enjoying each other with love,then the Angel of Good rejoices and says, "May every Shabbat be just like this one," and the Angel of Evil is forced toagree.

KABBALAT SHABBAT "Welcoming the Sabbath" is the first part of the service that sets the mood for Shabbat. Thecomplete text contains six psalms, one for each day of the week, culminating with Psalm 92, a psalm for Shabbat. Weusually chant the first two, Psalms 95 and 96. The love poem, L’cha Dodi was composed by kabbalist Rabbi SolomonAlkabetz of Safed in 1529. We stand at the last stanza to face the door to welcome symbolically, the shechinah, God’spresence [the Sabbath bride].

Ah-do-nai is the foundation of all life, exalted beyond all that is worshiped.

In God’s hand rests the world, sea and land, abyss and mountain peak, all are God’s.

Let us worship Ah-do-nai; exalt our Creator; our God. We are the flock guided by God;

help is ours, even today, if only we would listen to the divine voice:

Harden not your heart in the way of your ancestors, who tried and tested Me in the wilderness, even though they had witnessed My miracles.

Forty years of contending with that generation led Me to say:

They are wayward; they care not for my ways.

In indignation, therefore did I vow: Never would they reach My land — the land of peace, the land of rest.

Shir Chadash (Psalm 96) Wcg xi ¦WPsalm 96 frames our service to God in a joyous context. The Psalm expresses God as the author of creation. This Psalm instructs us to bearwitness as we observe the miracles of daily life. We are reminded that God is just and faithful to all of humanity.

Shi-ru LaAh-do-nai shir cha-dash, Shi-ru LaAh-do-nai kol ha-a-rets.Shi-ru LaAh-do-nai ba-r'chu sh'mo, Ba-s'ru Me-yom l'yom y'shu-a-to.

Sing a new song to Ah-do-nai! Acclaim Ah-do-nai, all people on earth.

Sing to Ah-do-nai; proclaim each day God’s awesome might.

Announce to the world God’s glory and wonders.

For Ah-do-nai is great, deserving of praise; Ah-do-nai alone is to be revered as God.

All the gods of the nations are nothingness, but Ah-do-nai created the heavens. Majesty and might accompany God; splendor and strength adorn God’s sanctuary.

Acknowledge Ah-do-nai, all families of nations; acclaim God’s majestic power.

Acknowledge God’s glory, and bring Him tribute.

Worship Ah-do-nai in resplendent reverence; let the earth tremble in God’s presence.

Declare to the world: Ah-do-nai is sovereign. God has steadied the world, which stands firm,

and judges all nations with fairness.

Let the heavens rejoice; let the earth be glad. Let the sea and all it contains exalt.

Let field and forest sing for joy; Ah-do-nai comes to rule the earth:

To rule the world justly; the nations with faithfulness.

May Ah-do-nai bestow strength upon our people; May Ah-do-nai

L’cha Dodi i ¦cFc dkl The love of the Jewish people for the Sabbath is compared to that of a groom for his bride. It is in this spirit that the Jews of the 16th centurygathered at the edge of town every Friday evening to welcome the Sabbath. Their song "L'cha Dodi" has become the centerpiece of our Fridayevening "Kabbalat Shabbat" service. L’cha Dodi was composed by kabbalist Rabbi Solomon Alkabetz of Safed in 1529. We stand at the beginningof the last stanza to face the door and welcome symbolically, the shechinah, God’s presence [the Sabbath bride].

COME IN MY DEARESTDear friend, come greet the Bride! Let us greet Shabbat!

Speaking both words together Ah-do-nai told us to "Remember" and "Keep" Shabbat. Ah-do-nai is one, God’s name is one, telling God’s fame, beauty, and praise.

Dear friend, come greet the Bride! Let us greet Shabbat!Let us greet Shabbat, for she is the source of all blessing. Before the world was created, Ah-do-nai planned to make her the holiest day.

Dear friend, come greet the Bride! Let us greet Shabbat!Come in peace, crown of love. With joy and happiness, come walk among the faithful, beloved people. Come in, O Bride! Come in, O Bride!

Dear friend, come greet the Bride! Let us greet Shabbat!

It is good to acclaim Ah-do-nai, to sing Your praise, exalted God,

To affirm Your love each morning, and Your faithfulness each night, to the music of the lute and the melody of the harp.

Your works, Ah-do-nai, make me glad; I sing with joy of Your creation.

How vast Your works, Ah-do-nai! Your designs are beyond our grasp.

The thoughtless cannot comprehend; the foolish cannot fathom this.

The wicked may flourish, springing up like grass, but their doom is sealed, for You are supreme forever.

Your enemies, Ah-do-nai, Your enemies shall perish; all the wicked shall crumble.

But me You have greatly exalted; I am anointed with fragrant oil.I have seen the downfall of my foes; I have heard the despair of my attackers.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree; they shall grow tall like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the house of Ah-do-nai, they will thrive in the courts of our God.

They shall bear fruit even in old age; they shall be ever fresh and fragrant, to proclaim: Ah-do-nai is justmy Rock, in whom there is no flaw.

Tsa-dik ka-ta-mar yif-rach, k'e-rez ba-l'va-non yis-geh. Sh'tu-lim b'veit Ah-do-nai, b'chats-rot E-lo-hey-nu yaf-ree-chu. Od y'nu-vun b'sey-va, d'shey-nim v'ra-a-na-nim yi-h'yu, L'ha-gid key ya-shar Ah-do-nai, Tsu-ri, v'lo av-la-ta bo.

God’s Sovereignty (Psalm 93) Kln dFd§i Psalm 93 is also known as the “Song of the Universe”. The psalmist affirms that the God is the sovereign of the universewho authored creation and the forces of nature.

Ah-do-nai is sovereign, crowned with splendor; Ah-do-nai reigns, robed in strength.

You set the earth on a sure foundation,You created a world that stands firm.

You have reigned from earliest time, You are eternal.

The rivers may rise and rage, the waters may pound and pulsate, the floods may swirl and storm.

A

Yet above the crash of the sea and its mighty breakers isAh-do-nai our God, supreme.

Your decrees, Ah-do-nai never fail. Holiness befits Your house for eternity.

Mourner’s Kaddish The Kaddish, an Aramaic prayer that is [almost] 2,000 years old, is recited in slightly different variations at every prayer service. Although one formof the Kaddish is recited in memory of the dead, the prayer itself says nothing about death; its theme is the greatness of God, reflected in itsopening words: "Yitgadal ve-yitkadash, Shmei rabbah--May God’s name be magnified and made holy…. " The prayer's conclusion speaks of afuture age in which God will redeem the world.

Eternal love: Endless is Your love for Your people Israel. You have taught us Torah and mitzvot,laws and judgement. Therefore, Ah-do-nai our God, when we lie down and when we rise up weshall speak of Your commandments and rejoice in Your Torah and mitzvot forever. Day and nightwe will reflect on them. They are our life and the length of our days. Your love shall never departfrom our hearts. We bless You, Eternal God who loves the people Israel.

The Sh'ma prayer is the oldest and most treasured Jewish prayer. We affirm God's relationship with us as we pledge our love to God. Thefull Sh'ma is three separate paragraphs from the Torah. The first paragraph, Deut: 6:4-9 deals with loving God, learning Torah, andpassing on Jewish tradition to our children. The second paragraph, Deut.11:13-21, speaks about the positive rewards of mitzvot. The third paragraph, Numbers 15:37-41, speaks about the mitzvot to wear tzitzit, and the exodus from Egypt. We are commanded to saythe Sh’ma twice daily, "And you will speak of them …beshohkbekha…when you lie down and uvekumekha… when you rise up" (Deut.6:7)

If a Minyan is not present add:

El Meh-lech Neh-eh-man on ¡ ¤p K ¤l«¤n l ¥

God, faithfully rules the world!

People commonly cover their eyes with the palm of their hand

while reciting the first verse of Sh'ma to eliminate everydistraction and help concentrate.

Reader’s KaddishKaddish is commonly known as a mourner's prayer, but in fact, variations on the Kaddish prayer are routinely recited at many othertimes, and the prayer itself has nothing to do with death or mourning. Kaddish is a prayer that affirms our faith in God and our hope forthe future. The Reader’s Kaddish separates units of prayer within a service.

35 Ma’ariv Service Translation of KaddishGlorified and sanctified is God's great name throughout the world created according to Ah-do-nai’s will. May God’ssovereignty be established in our lifetime and the life of all Israel; and let us say, Amen.

May God’s great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.

Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored be the name of the Holy One, source of blessing, beyondall the blessings and songs, beyond all the tributes spoken in the world; and say, Amen.

The great Chassidic master Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov would pray with intense concentration. According to legend his soul would leave his body,ascend a spiritual ladder, and pray in front of the heavenly court.

The Amidah is the central prayer of all four services: Shacharit (morning), Mincha (afternoon), Maariv (evening), and Mussaf (additional). The wordAmidah literally means standing, because it is recited while standing. It is also known as Shemoneh Esrei, meaning eighteen, because it originallyconsisted of eighteen blessings, and as Tefilah (prayer) because it is the most important Jewish prayer. The Amidah is a person's opportunity toapproach God in private prayer, and should therefore be said quietly.

Kavanah - This prayer of intent is recited prior to the silent Amidah. While reciting this prayer, it is customary to takethree small steps forward as if one is approaching royalty. This custom is derived from the actions of Abraham who"came forward" to pray for the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18:23). Where there is not muchspace, it has become the practice to take several tiny steps back before taking the three symbolic steps forward..

The first blessing of the Amidah refers to God as the God of the avot (“patriarchs and matriarchs”), and extols God as great, mighty,and awesome (Deut. 10:17); it concludes with ma-gein Av-ra-ham U’foked Sa-ra

We bless You, Ah-do-nai our God and Godof our ancestors, God of Abraham, God of Isaac,and God of Jacob, God of Sarah, God of Rebecca,God of Rachel and God of Leah.

In the days of Mattityahu, theson of Yochanan the High Priest, the Hasmonean, andhis sons - when the wicked Greek kingdom rose upagainst Your people Israel to make them forget YourTorah and compel them to stray from the statutes ofYour will - You in Your great mercy stood up for themin the time of their distress. You took up their grievance,judged their claim, and avenged their wrong. Youdelivered the strong into the hands of the weak, themany into the hands of the few, the impure into thehands of the pure, the wicked into the hands of therighteous, and the wanton into the hands of the diligentstudents of Your Torah. For Yourself, You made a greatand holy name in Your world, and for Your peopleIsrael You worked a great victory and salvation on thisvery day. Thereafter, Your children came to the Holy ofHolies of Your House, cleansed Your Temple, purifiedthe site of Your holiness and kindled lights in thecourtyards of Your sanctuary; and they established theseeight days of Chanukah to express thanks and praise to

Your great name.

Maker of harmony in the universe, grant peace to us, to Israel, and to all peopleeverywhere.

Amidah - AN ALTERNATIVE VERSIONRabbi Andre Unger - Adapted

Help me, Ah-do-nai, to pray.

Our ancestors worshiped You. Abraham and Sarah, Rebecca and Isaac, Jacob, Rachel and Leahstood in awe before You. We too reach for You, infinite, awesome, transcendent God, source of allbeing whose truth shines through our ancestors’ lives. We, their distant descendants, draw strengthfrom their lives and from Your redeeming love. Be our help and our shield, as You were theirs. Wepraise You, God, Guardian of Abraham and Sarah.

Your power sustains the universe. You breathe life into dead matter. With compassion You care forthose who live. Your limitless love lets life triumph over death, heals the sick, upholds the exhausted,frees the enslaved, keeps faith even with the dead. Who is like You, God of splendor and powerincomparable? You govern both life and death, Your presence brings our souls to blossom. We praiseYou, God who wrests life from death.

Sacred are You, sacred Your mystery. Seekers of holiness worship You all their lives. We praise You,God, ultimate sacred mystery.

Culminating the birth of the cosmos You consecrated to Your own glory the day of Shabbat -- blessedabove all days, holiest of times, as it is written in Your Torah: “Heaven and earth and all they containwere complete. On the seventh day God brought to a halt God’s creative work and rested from allendeavor. And God blessed the seventh day because on it God desisted from all effort and strivingand creation.”

Add for Festivals: Out of all humanity You chose us, You loved us, You found pleasure in us. Out of all people, throughYour Law, You uplifted us, You consecrated us, You drew us near to serve You, and shared with us your great and holyName. Lovingly, Ah-do-nai our God, You gave us Sabbaths for rest, Festivals for joy, Feasts and holy days for delight.

(On Passover add): this Feast of Matzah, season of our liberation,(On Shavuot add): this Feast of Shavuot, the season when our Torah was given,

(On Sukkot add): this Feast of Sukkot, our joyous season,(On Sh’mini Atzeret add): this Feast of Sh’mini Atzeret, our joyous season,

a sacred gathering, memento of our Exodus from Egypt.

Ah-do-nai, God of our ancestors, find pleasure in our Shabbat, make us holy with Your mitzvot, giveus a share in Your truth. Sate us with Your goodness, delight us with Your help. Make our heartsworthy to serve You truly. May we possess Your holy Shabbat with love and eagerness. May thepeople Israel, bearer of Your holy name, be blessed with tranquility. We love You, Ah-do-nai whoseShabbat is sacred.

Would that Your people at prayer gained delight in You. Would that we were aflame with thepassionate piety of our ancestors’ worship. Would that You found our worship acceptable and forevercherished Your people. If only our eyes could see Your glory perennially renewed in Jerusalem. Wepraise You, God whose presence forever radiates from Zion.

You are our God today as You were our ancestors’ God throughout the ages; firm foundation of ourlives, we are Yours in gratitude and love. Our lives are safe in Your hand, our souls entrusted to Yourcare. Our sense of wonder and our praise of Your miracles and kindness greet You daily at dawn,

dusk, and noon. Gentle One, Your caring is endless; Compassionate One, Your love is eternal. Youare forever our hope. Let all life confront You with thankfulness, delight, and truth. Help us, Ah-do-nai;sustain us. We praise You Ah-do-nai whose touchstone is goodness. To pray to You is joy.

Ah-do-nai, from whom all peace flows, grant serenity to Your Jewish people, with love and mercy, lifeand goodness for all. Consider us kindly, bless us with tranquility at all times and all seasons. Wepraise You, Ah-do-nai whose blessing is peace.

May my tongue be innocent of malice and my lips free from lies. When confronted by enemies maymy soul stay calm, truly humble to all. Open my heart with Your teachings, that I may be guided byYou. May all who plan evil against me abandon their schemes. Hear my words and help me,Ah-do-nai, because You are compassionate, because You are almighty, because You are holy,because You are loving, because You reveal Your Torah. May You find delight in the words of mymouth and in the emotions of my heart, Ah-do-nai, my strength and my salvation. As You maintainharmony in the heavens, give peace to us and to the whole Jewish people.

Amen.

It is customary to take three steps back to signify the conclusion of the Amidah. This practice is recorded inthe Talmud as follows “ Rabbi Alexandri said in the name of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: One who hasprayed should take three steps backward and afterwards pray for peace.”







Guard My TongueAh-do-nai, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking falsehood. Help me toignore those who slander me, and to be humble and forgiving to all. Open my heart toYour Torah, that I may know Your teachings and eagerly do Your will. Frustrate the plansof those who wish me ill, that I may praise Your power, Your holiness, and Your Law. SaveYour loved ones, Ah-do-nai; Answer me with Your redeeming power. May the words ofmy mouth and the meditation of my heart find favor before You, my Rock and myRedeemer. Maker of harmony in the universe, grant peace to us, to Israel, and to all peopleeverywhere.

And let us say Amen.

It is up to us to thank the Ruler of All, to praise the the author of Creation, who did not make uslike other nations, who created us as a unique people, and set us on a separate path toward a specialdestiny. And we bend our knees, and bow down, and give thanks, before the Ruler, the Ruler ofRulers, the Holy One, who created heaven and earth. Who dwells is in the heavens above, with apowerful Presence in the highest heights You are our God, there is no other. You are eternal, thereis nothing else. As it is written in Your Torah: “Know this day and take to your heart thatAh-do-nai is the only God in heaven above and on the earth below—there is none other.”

Because We BelieveBecause we believe in You, Ah-do-nai, We hope for the day when Your majesty will prevail, Whenall false gods will be removed, and all idolatry will be abolished;

When the world will be made a kingdom of God, When all humanity will invoke Your name, And the wicked will be turned to You.

May all the living fervently acknowledge that to You every knee must bend, every tongue vow loyalty.

Before You may all bow in reverence, Proclaiming Your glory, accepting Your sovereignty.

May Your reign come soon and last forever; For sovereignty is Yours alone, now and evermore.

So is it written in Your Torah: "Ah-do-nai shall reign forever and ever."

The prophet too, proclaimed this promise: "Ah-do-nai shall reign over all the earth;On that day Ah-do-nai shall be One and God’s name One."zFxM mi ¦li ¦l ¡ d §e ,u ¤x «¨ d o ¦n mi ¦lEN ¦B xi ¦a£r ©d §l ,L«¤G ªr z ¤x«¤ §t ¦z §A dx ¥d §n zF` §x ¦l ,Epi«¥dŸl ¡ dFd §i L §N d¤E ©w §p o ¥M l©r §elM Er §c¥i §e Exi «¦M©i .u ¤x «¨ i¥r §W ¦x lM Li«¤l ¥ zFp §t ©d §l ,L«¤n §W ¦a E` §x §w ¦i xUa i¥p §A lk §e ,i ©C ©W zEk §l ©n §A mlFr o ¥T ©z §l ,oEz ¥xM ¦i,Ep «¥Y ¦i xw §i L §n ¦W cFa §k ¦l §e ,ElŸ «R ¦i §e Er §x §k ¦i Epi«¥dŸl ¡ dFd §i Li«¤pt §l .oFWl lM r ©aX ¦Y ,K ¤x«¤A lM r ©x §k ¦Y L §l i ¦M ,l ¥a ¥z i ¥a §WFi

52 Ma’ariv Service (Mourners and those observing Yaherzeit please rise)

Mourner’s Kaddish The Kaddish, an Aramaic prayer that is [almost] 2,000 years old, is recited in slightly different variations at every prayer service. Although one form

of the Kaddish is recited in memory of the dead, the prayer itself says nothing about death; its theme is the greatness of God, reflected in itsopening words: "Yitgadal ve-yitkadash, Shmei rabbah--May God’s name be magnified and made holy…. " The prayer's conclusion speaks of a

future age in which God will redeem the world.

Master of the universe, Who reigned before any form was created, at the time when God’s will brought all intobeing - then God’s name proclaimed. After all has ceased to be, God, the Awesome One, will reign alone. It is GodWho was, God Who is, and God Who shall remain, in splendor. God is One - there is no second to compare toHim, to declare as God’s equal. Without beginning, without conclusion - God is the power and dominion. God ismy God, my living Redeemer, Rock of my pain in time of distress. God is my banner, a refuge for me, the portionin my cup on the day I call. Into Your hand I shall entrust my spirit when I go to sleep - and I shall awaken! With

my spirit shall my body remain. Ah-do-nai is with me, I shall not fear.

Counting the Omer Sefirat Ha OmerIn the days of the Holy Temple, the people would bring a barley offering on the second day of Passover(Leviticus 23:10). This was called the "Omer" (literally, "sheaf") . According to the Tradition we count the daysof the barley offering, between Passover and Shavuot. Each night, from the second night of Passover to thenight before Shavuot, we recite a blessing and state the count of the Omer. in both weeks and days. Todaythe Omer is a time of reflection in which we examine our own personal journeys from slavery to civilization.

Passover represents exodus from slavery. Shavuot represents civilization with the acceptance of the law.

KiddushKiddush is a blessing recited over wine or grape juice stating the holy nature of Shabbat. The Torah refers to tworequirements concerning Shabbat - to "keep it" and to "remember it" (shamor and zakhor). Jewish tradition recogmizestwo aspects of Shabbat observance. One must "keep it" by refraining from forbidden activities, and one must "rememberit" by making the day special. Reciting kiddush before a meal is a way of remembering the Shabbat and making the dayspecial.

Our Sages understood human nature and they knew that people do tend to take daily occurrences for granted, no matterhow wonderful they may be.

MORNING BLESSINGS BIRCHOT HASHACHARJust as one should not begin physical exercise without first warming up, so too, one should not begin davening (prayer) without “warming up". Theearly morning prayers, birchot hashahar, give us an opportunity to warm up our voices and spirit. They begin with a series of b’rachot (blessings)that trace the process of awakening. These b’rachot thank God for the gift of our bodies and souls; they describe God as providing for our physicalneeds of sight, strength, clothing, etc. It is no accident that the first and last thing Jews do every day is pray. What could be more appropriate inthese moments of quiet reflection than to thank God for the myriad blessings of each day.

VERSES OF PRAISE SECTION (PESUKEI DEZIMRAH) The Verses of Praise section was initiated as an optional part of the prayer service and was recitedprivately. Today, these verses are recited every day, in private and public prayer. The Verses ofPraise consist of a series of psalms, preceded and followed by a special blessing. The recitation ofthese psalms is intended to prepare and uplift the soul, purify our thoughts, and make us clear in ourapproach to God and prayer. Following the Verses of Praise, the Kaddish is recited to indicate that asubsection of the prayer service has now concluded, and we continue with a major section of the

prayer service, namely, the blessings of the Sh'ma and the Sh'ma prayer.

May it be Your will, Ah-do-nai my God and God of myancestors, to protect me this day, and every day, fromarrogance of others and from arrogance in myself. Saveme from a bad companion and from a bad neighbour,and from any mishap or evil; from a harsh judgment,and from a harsh opponent, be they a child of thecovenant or not.

We must always revere God in private as in public,acknowledge the truth, and speak the truth in our hearts;and let him rise early and say:

Master of all worlds! Not in the merit of ourrighteousness do we bring supplications before You, butbecause of Your love. What are we? What is our life?What is our kindness? What is our righteousness? Whatis our salvation? What is our strength? What is ourmight? What can we say before You, Ah-do-nai ourGod, and the God of our ancestors? Heroes are likenothing before You, the famous, as if they had neverexisted, the wise, as if void of wisdom and theperceptive, as if void of intelligence. Most of their deedsare desolate and the days of their lives are empty beforeYou. Human preeminence over beasts is an illusion, forall is vain.

Miz-mor Shir Cha-nu-kat Ha-Ba-yit L'DavidA Psalm of David. A Song for the Dedication of theTemple. I will extol you, Ah-do-nai, for you have raisedme up. You did not permit foes to rejoice over me.Ah-do-nai my God, I cried to you, and you have healedme. Ah-do-nai, you have brought up my soul from thepit of death. You have kept me alive, that I should notgo down to the pit. Sing praise to Ah-do-nai, youfaithful. Acclaim God’s holiness. God’s anger lasts forjust a moment. Divine love is everlasting. Tears may stayfor the night, but joy comes in the morning. As for me,I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” You,Ah-do-nai, when you favored me, made my mountainstand strong; but when you hid your face, I wastroubled. I cried to you, Ah-do-nai, I made mysupplication: “What profit is there in my destruction, ifI go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall itdeclare your truth? Hear, Ah-do-nai, and have mercy onme. Ah-do-nai, be my helper.” You have turned mymourning into dancing, my sackcloth into robes of joy----- that my heart may sing praise to you, and not besilent.

83 Preliminary Service Ba-ruch She'ah-mar

The composition of Baruch She'amar is attributed to the Great Assembly (circa 70CE). Tradition explains that it was revealed fromheaven with 87 words which correspond to the Hebrew word paz, or fine gold. God's commitment to us is as valuable as gold.

Baruch She'amar focuses primarily on the power of communication. God spoke and the entire world came into being. Blessed is theone who speaks. Baruch She'amar, encourages us to maintain not only our commitment to each other, but to ourselves as well, justas God made a commitment to us at the time of creation.

-You may be seated- Originally, the Jewish prayer service consisted of the Sh'ma and its Blessings; and the Tefillah. That was the entire communal Jewishservice. Gradually, other readings were added. One of the most frequently-recited is Psalm 145, called either Praise of David (TehilahL'David) or the Ashrei (because of its first word, Ashrei, Happy). It is an alphabetic poem. It is referred to once in the Talmud, but itsimportance is clear: “Eleazar b. Avina says: Whoever recites Ashrei three times daily, is sure to inherit the world to come.” Brachot 4b

Attributed to King David, The Book of Psalms is divided into 150 Psalms, each of which constitutes a religioussong or chant. In Psalm 150 the psalmist paints a picture of an orchestra that has completed tuning theirinstruments and is ready to play in concert. As we read this Psalm we near the conclusion of the PESUKEIDEZIMRAH (verses of praise section) and prepare to sing as a congregation.

Reader’s Kaddish Preliminary Service 106Kaddish is commonly known as a mourner's prayer, but in fact, variations on the Kaddish prayer are routinely recited atmany other times, and the prayer itself has nothing to do with death or mourning. Kaddish is a prayer that affirms our faithin God and our hope for the future. The Reader’s Kaddish separates units of prayer within a service.
















(lM ¦n `N«¥r §lE `N«¥r §l)*

Translation of Kaddish Glorified and sanctified is God's great name throughout the worldcreated according to Ah-do-nai’s will. May God’s sovereignty be established in our lifetime and the

life of all Israel, and let us say, Amen. May God’s great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.

Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored be the name of the Holy One,source of blessing, beyond all the blessings and songs, beyond all the tributes spoken in the world;

and say, Amen.

107 Morning Service Morning Shachrit ServiceAt one time the morning congregational service began with the Sh’ma. All preliminary prayers were said privately.Consequently the introduction to the Sh’ma was the call to prayer or Bar’chu. This marked the beginning of the publicprayer service. Although preliminary prayers are now said publicly, Bar’chu still remains the introduction to the Sh’ma.Since Bar’chu calls the congregation to public prayer, it is not said when praying privately. In the temple of old the"Kohanim" (priests) would summon the congregation to prayer using the Ba-re-chu proclamation.

Translation of El AdonCreation reflects the rule of God, who is praised by the breath of all life. God's greatness and goodness fillthe universe; knowledge and wisdom encircle God's presence. Exalted is God by creatures celestial;enhanced and adorned by the mysteries of heaven. God's throne is guarded by truth and purity; God issurrounded by mercy and love. Good are the lights our God has created, fashioning them with insight andwisdom. Endowed by God with power and vigor, they maintain dominion amidst the world. Abounding insplendor, emanating brilliance, their radiant light adorns the universe. Rejoicing in rising, gladly setting,they rush to obey their Creator's will. God is acclaimed by beauty and glory, God's sovereignty sung bycelebration and praise. God summoned the sun, whose light shone forth, then gave to the moon its cyclicalglow. The stars and planets, all bodies of the heavens acclaim God with praise; celestial creatures give glory

and greatness.To Ah-do-nai who rested from all works, and onthe seventh day exalted and sat upon the throne ofglory. With beauty did robe the day of rest, andcalled the Shabbat day a delight. This is the greatdistinction of the Shabbat day, that God restedfrom all work, when the Shabbat day itself offeredpraise and said “A Psalm, a song of the Shabbatday, It is good to give thanks to Ah-do-nai”. Let allcreatures glorify and bless God; let them give praise,honor and greatness to Ah-do-nai who is Creator ofall things, and who, in holiness, gives an inheritanceof rest to Ah-do-nai’s people Israel on the holyShabbat day. Your name, Ah-do-nai our God, willbe holy, and your name, our eternal God, will beproclaimed in heaven above and on the earthbeneath. We bless You, our redeemer, for theexcellency of Your handiwork, and for the brightluminaries which You have made: they will glorifyYou forever.

The Sh'ma prayer is the oldest and most treasured Jewish prayer. We affirm God's relationship with us as we pledge our love to God. The fullSh'ma is comprised of three separate paragraphs from the Torah. The first paragraph, Deut: 6:4-9 deals with loving God, learning Torah, and

passing on Jewish tradition to our children. The second paragraph, Deut.11:13-21, speaks about the positive rewards of fulfilling the mitzvot. The third paragraph, Numbers 15:37-41, speaks specifically about the mitzvot to wear tzitzit, and the exodus from Egypt. We are commanded tosay the Sh’ma twice daily, "And you will speak of them …beshohkbekha…when you lie down and uvekumekha… when you rise up" (Deut.6:7).

If a Minyan is not present add:

El Meh-lech Neh-eh-man on ¡ ¤p K ¤l«¤n l ¥

God, faithfully rules the world!

People commonly cover their eyes with the palm of their hand

while reciting the first verse of Sh'ma to eliminate everydistraction and help concentrate..

above your eyes. Inscribe them on the door posts of your homes and upon your gates.

If you will obey the Mitzvot which I commandyou this day, to love your God and to serve Godwith all your heart and soul, then I will blessyour livelihood in good measure. Do not belured to false goals, seeking alien ideals. For thenthe image of God will be lost from within you,and you will decline in holiness, becomingdistant from your heritage. Cherish my words inyour heart and soul. Wear them as proudreminders on your forehead. Teach themdiligently to your children, review them whenyou are at home and when you are away nightand day. Write them on the door posts of yourhouse and upon your gates. Then your days andthe days of your children will endure on thisgood earth, like the days of the heaven on theearth.

And they are to place uponthe tzitzit of each corner a thread of blue(techelet). And it shall constitute tzitzit for you,that you may see it and remember all themitzvot of God and perform them; and notexplore after your heart and after your eyes afterwhich you stray.

Moses rejoiced at the gift he was given, hewas called a faithful servant:, placing a crown ofglory on his head, when he stood before You onMount Sinai; and in his hand he brought down twotablets of stone, on which are written theobservance of the Sabbath, as it says in Your Torah:

And Israel will keep the Sabbath, toobserve the Sabbath throughout their generations,for an everlasting covenant. It is a sign betweenGod and the children of Israel forever, that in sixdays Ah-do-nai made the heavens and the earth, andon the seventh day rested, and ceased from work.And You did not give the Sabbath to the othernations of the earth, nor do the unrighteous dwell inits rest; but to Your people Israel You did give it inlove, to the children of Jacob whom You chose.The people that sanctify the seventh day, all of themwill be satiated and delighted with Your goodness,seeing that You find pleasure in the seventh day,and made it holy; You called it the desirable of days,in remembrance of the creation.

Our God and God of our ancestors,be pleased with our Shabbat rest, make us holy withmitzvot and let us share in Your Torah. Fill ourlives goodness and make us content. Purify ourhearts so that we can serve You truly. Ah-do-naiour God, let us receive Your holy Shabbat withlove. We bless You, Ah-do-nai, who makes theShabbat holy.

We thank You for the miracles and for the salvationand for the mighty deeds and for the victories andfor the battles which You performed for ourforefathers in those days at this time. In the days ofMattityahu, the son of Yochanan the High Priest,the Hasmonean, and his sons - when the wickedGreek kingdom rose up against Your people Israelto make them forget Your Torah and compel themto stray from the statutes of Your will - You inYour great mercy stood up for them in the time oftheir distress. You took up their grievance, judgedtheir claim, and avenged their wrong. You deliveredthe strong into the hands of the weak, the manyinto the hands of the few, the impure into the handsof the pure, the wicked into the hands of therighteous, and the wanton into the hands of thediligent students of Your Torah. For Yourself, Youmade a great and holy name in Your world, and forYour people Israel You worked a great victory andsalvation as this very day. Thereafter, Your childrencame to Your House, cleansed Your Temple,purified the site of Your holiness and kindled lightsin the courtyards of Your sanctuary; and theyestablished these eight days of Chanukah to express

thanks and praise to Your great name.

It is customary to take three steps back to signify the conclusion of the Amidah. This practice is recorded in theTalmud as follows “ Rabbi Alexandri said in the name of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: One who has prayed shouldtake three steps backward and afterwards pray for peace.”







Please be seated after you have completed the silent Amidah. Guard My TongueLord, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking falsehood. Help me to ignore thosewho slander me, and to be humble and forgiving to all. Open my heart to Your Torah, that I mayknow Your teachings and eagerly do Your will. Frustrate the plans of those who wish me ill, that Imay praise Your power, Your holiness, and Your Law. Save Your loved ones, Lord; Answer mewith Your redeeming power. “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart findfavor before You, my Rock and my Redeemer.” Maker of harmony in the universe, grant peace tous, to Israel, and to all people everywhere.

Your power sustains the universe. You breathe life into dead matter. With compassion You care forthose who live. Your limitless love lets life triumph over death, heals the sick, upholds the exhausted,frees the enslaved, keeps faith even with the dead. Who is like You, God of splendor and powerincomparable? You govern both life and death, Your presence brings our souls to blossom. We praiseYou, God who wrests life from death.

Sacred are You, sacred Your mystery. Seekers of holiness worship You all their lives. We praise You,God, ultimate sacred mystery.

Culminating the birth of the cosmos You consecrated to Your own glory the day of Shabbat -- blessedabove all days, holiest of times, as it is written in Your Torah: “Heaven and earth and all they containwere complete. On the seventh day God brought to a halt God’s creative work and rested from allendeavor. And God blessed the seventh day because on it God desisted from all effort and strivingand creation.”

Add for Festivals: Out of all humanity You chose us, You loved us, You found pleasure in us. Out of all people, throughYour Law, You uplifted us, You consecrated us, You drew us near to serve You, and shared with us Your great and holyName. Lovingly, Adonai Eloheinu, You gave us Sabbaths for rest, Festivals for joy, Feasts and holy days for delight.

(On Passover add): this Feast of Matzah, season of our liberation,(On Shavuot add): this Feast of Shavuot, the season when our Torah was given,

(On Sukkot add): this Feast of Sukkot, our joyous season,(On Sh’mini Atzeret add): This Feast of Sh’mini Atzeret, our joyous season,

a sacred gathering, memento of our Exodus from Egypt.

Ah-do-nai, God of our ancestors, find pleasure in our Shabbat, make us holy with Your mitzvot, giveus a share in Your truth. Sate us with Your goodness, delight us with Your help. Make our heartsworthy to serve You truly. May we possess Your holy Shabbat with love and eagerness. May thepeople Israel, bearer of Your holy name, be blessed with tranquility. We love You, Ah-do-nai whoseShabbat is sacred.

Would that Your people at prayer gained delight in You. Would that we were aflame with thepassionate piety of our ancestors’ worship. Would that You found our worship acceptable and forevercherished Your people. If only our eyes could see Your glory perennially renewed in Jerusalem. Wepraise You, God whose presence forever radiates from Zion.

You are our God today as You were our ancestors’ God throughout the ages; firm foundation of ourlives, we are Yours in gratitude and love. Our lives are safe in Your hand, our souls entrusted to Yourcare. Our sense of wonder and our praise of Your miracles and kindness greet You daily at dawn,

It is customary to take three steps back to signify the conclusion of the Amidah. This practice is recorded in theTalmud as follows “ Rabbi Alexandri said in the name of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: One who has prayed shouldtake three steps backward and afterwards pray for peace.”







Please be seated after you have completed the silent Amidah. Guard My TongueLord, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking falsehood. Help me to ignore thosewho slander me, and to be humble and forgiving to all. Open my heart to Your Torah, that I mayknow Your teachings and eagerly do Your will. Frustrate the plans of those who wish me ill, that Imay praise Your power, Your holiness, and Your Law. Save Your loved ones, Lord; Answer mewith Your redeeming power. “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart findfavor before You, my Rock and my Redeemer.” Maker of harmony in the universe, grant peace tous, to Israel, and to all people everywhere.

Not for our sake, Ah-do-nai, not for our sake,because of Your kindness and Your truth. Whyshould the nations say: "Where is their God?"When our God is in the heavens doing the divinewill! Their idols are silver and gold, the work ofhuman hands. They have a mouth, but theycannot speak, they have eyes, but they cannot see.They have ears, but they cannot hear. They have anose, but they cannot smell. They have hands, butthey cannot feel. They have feet, but they cannotwalk. They cannot make a sound with their throat.Those who make them shall become like them,whoever trusts in them.

Reader’s Kaddish Morning Service 138

Kaddish is commonly known as a mourner's prayer, but in fact, variations on the Kaddish prayer are routinely recited atmany other times, and the prayer itself has nothing to do with death or mourning. Kaddish is a prayer that affirms our faithin God and our hope for the future. The Reader’s Kaddish separates units of prayer within a service.

About the Torah service The Torah service is a unique and sacred moment in the services thatembodies a central Jewish value. After reciting prayers of praise and thanksgiving, we take time outto study. In Judaism, study is both a privilege and a form of Divine service. It is therefore precededwith the Torah Processional, a time of rejoicing and song.

As the Sefer Torah (Torah scroll) is removed from the Aron Ha-ko-desh (Holy Ark) and processedthrough the congregation we sing verses from the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible). The verses, song andritual, are designed to remind us of our earliest history as when a portable Ark containing the writtenword of God stood in the middle of the Israelite camp. At the same time, these prayers inspire us toenvision the future of our people. As the Torah is processed through the congregation, we follow itby turning to face it and kissing it with our tzitzit (tallit fringes) or siddur as it passes.

About The Sifrei Torah (Torah scrolls) A Sefer Torah is the written word of God as envisioned byour ancestors. As such, we express respect to a Sefer Torah, as a representation of our sacredtraditions, the generations that came before us and our bond with God. We treat the Sifrei Torahwith great care and respect and hiddur (esthetic enhancement). The Sifrei Torah generally areadorned with silver crowns and breast plates and are encased in colorful mantels. To be kosher,Torah scrolls must be hand-written by a scribe using special ink and special parchment. Onemisspelled word or damaged letter in a Sefer Torah invalidates it for use. Because the Hebrew in aSefer Torah is written without vowels or musical notation, chanting from the Torah requires specialskill.

Receiving a Torah Honor: A Step By Step Guide

7 Steps to the Perfect P’tikhah (Opening the Ark)

Come up to the Bimah near the end of Ain Kamokhah (page 117) and stand to the left of the Ark. Open the Ark as the Rabbi begins to chant the next paragraph, Vayehi binsoah (2nd paragraphon page 117).Close the Ark before the Reader recites the verses on page 120.Follow the Torah during the procession.Return to your seat.People will bless you with the words “Yasher Koach” (May you be rich in strength).Shake their hand and respond “Barukh tihyeh” (you should be blessed).

11 Steps to the Perfect AliyahCome to the Bimah (pulpit) at the appropriate time.State your Hebrew name (yours and your parents’) clearly to the Gabbi.Stand on right-hand side of the Torah Reader.Allow the Torah Reader to show you the place in the Torah and kiss it with tzitzit or prayer book. Take hold of the handles (atzei chayim) and say first blessings (Transliterated on Card).Look on with reader.At end of reading, kiss the place in the Torah that the reader shows you with tzitzit or prayerbook.Take hold of the handles (atzei chayim) and recite blessing for after the reading (Transliteratedon Card). Move to other side of reader (to the left of the Torah).After the next aliyah, return to your seat. People will bless you with the words “Yasher Koach”(May you be rich in strength).

14 Steps to the Perfect Hagbah (Raising the Torah)Come to the Bimah (pulpit) after the Torah reading is complete. Note the chair where you will be sitting down with the Torah.Roll the scroll to a point where a seam is mid-way between the two atzei chayim (Torahhandles).Open the scroll slightly.Pull the Torah down so that the edge of the table is half-way between the bottom and top of theTorah.Push down on the bottom handles, so that the Torah begins to be vertical. Bend your knees.Push the Torah up and straighten your legs (you are now standing up and so is the Torah).Turn around so that the congregation can see the words in the Torah.If you feel confident, unroll the Torah slightly so that at least 3 columns are showing.Walk to the chair and lower yourself carefully, with the Torah still vertical.Hold the scroll while it is tied and dressed.Settle the scroll on one of your shoulders and hold it until a Gabbi assists you in placing itsecurely on one of the special shelves.People will bless you with the words “Yasher Koach” (May you be rich in strength). Shake theirhand and respond “Barukh tihyeh” (you should be blessed).

9 Steps to the Perfect Gelilah (Rolling and Tying the Scroll)Come to the Bimah (pulpit) after the Torah reading is complete, along with the Hagbah.Stand near the chair where the Hagbah will sit.As the Hagbah sits, grab hold of the upper handles.Once the Hagbah is seated, roll the scroll tightly together (keep the seam in center).Place the Gartel—the belt—around the Torah and close it in place.Place the Mantel—the cover—on the Torah.Place the yad—the pointer—on the Torah.People will bless you with the words “Yasher Koach” (May you be rich in strength). Shake theirhand and respond “Barukh tihyeh” (you should be blessed).

146 Torah Service Reader’s KaddishKaddish is commonly known as a mourner's prayer, but in fact, variations on the Kaddish prayer are routinely recited at many other times, and theprayer itself has nothing to do with death or mourning. Kaddish is a prayer that affirms our faith in God and our hope for the future. The Reader’sKaddish separates units of prayer within a service.













(lM ¦n `N«¥r §lE `N«¥r §l)*

Translation of Kaddish: Glorified and sanctified is God's great name throughout the world created according to Ah-do-nai’s will.May God’s sovereignty be established in our lifetime and the life of all Israel; and let us say, Amen. May God’s great name be blessedforever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored be the name of the Holy One, source of

blessing, beyond all the blessings and songs, beyond all the tributes spoken in the world; and say, Amen.

150 Birkat Hachodesh BLESSING THE NEW MONTH

Birkat Hachodesh (Blessing the Month): The Jewish calendar is primarily lunar, with each monthbeginning on the new moon. In ancient times, the new months used to be declared by Sanhedrin (the court). When the Sanhedrinheard eyewitness testimony the new moon occurred they would declare the Rosh Chodesh (a minor festival beginning each month)and send out messengers to notify the community.

In the fourth century, Hillel established a fixed calendar based on mathematical and astronomical calculations. This calendar, still inuse, standardized the length of months and the addition of months over the course of a 19-year cycle, so that the lunar calendarrealigns with the solar years. An additional month (Adar II) is added in the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and 19th years of the cycle.

The custom known as Birkat Hachodesh (Blessing the Month) is a post-Talmudic Ashkanaz ritual. It was added in an effort to makethe congregation aware that Rosh Chodesh is approaching so that they could attend special festival services on that day.

How shall we greet the new month? Let us pray for life, sustenance and for health.Let us ask God’s blessings on those we hold dear.

Yet let us remember that we too can bless this month.With words and deeds, with dreams and achievements.With greater wisdom and strengthened resolve.

How shall we greet the month now approaching?With deepened faith and true humility.With prayer that we be worthy of God’s blessings.

-You may be seated- Originally, the Jewish prayer service consisted of the Sh'ma and its Blessings; and the Tefillah. That was the entire communal Jewishservice. Gradually, other readings were added. One of the most frequently-recited is Psalm 145, called either Praise of David (TehilahL'David) or the Ashrei (because of its first word, Ashrei, Happy). It is an alphabetic poem. It is referred to once in the Talmud, but itsimportance is clear: “Eleazar b. Avina says: Whoever recites Ashrei three times daily, is sure to inherit the world to come.” Brachot 4b

Ah-do-nai commands rock-splittinglightning; the voice of Ah-do-nai stirs the wilderness. The voice of Ah-do-nai strips the forest bare,while in God’s holy place all chant: “Glory!” Ah-do-nai sat enthroned at the Flood; Ah-do-nai willsit enthroned forever. May Ah-do-nai bestow strength upon our people; May Ah-do-nai bless our

people with peace.On festivals the following is added:

The earth and everything on it belong toAh-do-nai. The world and its people belong toYou. Ah-do-nai placed it all on the oceans andrivers. Who may climb Ah-do-nai's hill or standin the holy temple? Only those who do right forthe right reasons, and don't worship idols or telllies under oath. Ah-do-nai our God, who savesthem, will bless and reward them, because theyworship and serve the God of Jacob.

Reader’s Kaddish - Please rise - Kaddish is commonly known as a mourner's prayer, but in fact, variations on the Kaddish prayer are routinely recited at many other times, and theprayer itself has nothing to do with death or mourning. Kaddish is a prayer that affirms our faith in God and our hope for the future. The Reader’sKaddish separates units of prayer within a service.

Translation of KaddishGlorified and sanctified is God's great name throughout the world created according to Ah-do-nai’s will. May God’ssovereignty be established in our lifetime and the life of all Israel, and let us say, Amen. May God’s great name be blessedforever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored be the name of the Holy One,source of blessing, beyond all the blessings and songs, beyond all the tributes spoken in the world; and say, Amen. May theprayers of the whole House of Israel be accepted by our Father in Heaven. And let us say: Amen. May there be abundantpeace from heaven, and life, for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. May the One who creates peace in the celestial

heights, create peace for us and for all Israel; and let us say, Amen.

The Musaf Service s©qEn The Additional ServiceThe conclusion of our Shabbat morning service is the Musaf (additional) service. Perhaps you're wondering, "Why, after allthe prayers we've said, do we need an additional service?" That's a fair question with an historical answer. Our servicescan be traced back to sacrificial services in King Solomon’s Temple. On Shabbat and specific holidays, an additional(musaf) sacrifice was brought, because of the special nature of the day. To recall that tradition, we today offer anadditional service. Its major content is the Amidah, which begins and ends with the same blessings as the morningAmidah, but whose middle blessing is different. The Musaf Amidah is similar to the morning Amidah, with the sameopening and closing blessings, but with a different middle blessing. This middle blessing focuses on the sanctification ofthe Sabbath day through the special sacrifice which was offered in the Temple. With the destruction of the Temple and the

cessation of sacrifices, we recite the portions of the Torah which deal with these sacrifices.

The Amidah is completed quietly after Kedusha. We conclude by singing Sim Shalom, the prayer for peace together. TheMusaf service is concluded by the Reader’s Kaddish. Following the Musaf service are the concluding prayers, the "cooldown" from the worship services which parallels the opening "warm up" said at the start of the service. This sectionincludes Ein Ke-loheinu, Aaleinu, Mourners' Kaddish and ends with Adon Olam. The service ends about noon. After theservice is over, the greetings "Shabbat Shalom" or "Good Shabbos" are heard as members wish each other a day of

peace, to begin what is hoped will be a week of peace.

The Amidah is the central prayer of all four services: Shacharit (morning), Mincha (afternoon), Maariv (evening), andMussaf (additional). The word Amidah literally means standing, because it is recited while standing. It is also known asShemoneh Esrei, meaning eighteen, because it originally consisted of eighteen blessings, and as Tefilah (prayer) becauseit is the most important Jewish prayer. The Amidah is a person's opportunity to approach God in private prayer, and shouldtherefore be said quietly.

You are faithful in giving eternal life to the departed. We praise You, who gives immortality to the departed.

The Kedushah has become known as the centerpiece of communal prayer. It is constructed around the biblical verses "Holy, holy,holy! Ah-do-nai of Hosts! God’s presence fills all the earth!" (Isa. 6:3) and "Blessed is the Presence of Ah-do-nai, in God’s place"(Ezek. 3:12).

Kaddish is commonly known as a mourner's prayer, but in fact, variations on the Kaddish prayer are routinely recited atmany other times, and the prayer itself has nothing to do with death or mourning. Kaddish is a prayer that affirms our faithin God and our hope for the future. The Reader’s Kaddish separates units of prayer within a service.

It is up to us to thank the Ruler of All, to praise the the author of Creation, who did not make uslike other nations, who created us as a unique people, and set us on a separate path toward a specialdestiny. And we bend our knees, and bow down, and give thanks, before the Ruler, the Ruler ofRulers, the Holy One, who created heaven and earth. Who dwells is in the heavens above, with apowerful Presence in the highest heights You are our God, there is no other. You are eternal, thereis nothing else. As it is written in Your Torah: “Know this day and take to your heart thatAh-do-nai is the only God in heaven above and on the earth below—there is none other.

- 148 -


Because We BelieveBecause we believe in You, Ah-do-nai, We hope for the day when Your majesty will prevail, Whenall false gods will be removed, And all idolatry will be abolished;

When the world will turn their hearts to God, When all humanity will invoke Your name, And the wicked will be turned to You.

May all the living fervently acknowledge that to You every knee must bend, every tongue vow loyalty.

Before You may all bow in reverence, Proclaiming Your glory, accepting Your sovereignty.

May Your reign come soon and last forever; For sovereignty is Yours alone, now and evermore.

So is it written in Your Torah: "Ah-do-nai shall reign forever and ever."

The prophet too, proclaimed this promise: "Ah-do-nai shall reign over all the earth;On that day Ah-do-nai shall be One and God’s name One."zFxM mi ¦li ¦l ¡ d §e ,u ¤x «¨ d o ¦n mi ¦lEN ¦B xi ¦a£r ©d §l ,L«¤G ªr z ¤x«¤ §t ¦z §A dx ¥d §n zF` §x ¦l ,Epi«¥dŸl ¡ dFd §i L §N d¤E ©w §p o ¥M l©r §elM Er §c¥i §e Exi «¦M©i .u ¤x «¨ i¥r §W ¦x lM Li«¤l ¥ zFp §t ©d §l ,L«¤n §W ¦a E` §x §w ¦i xUa i¥p §A lk §e ,i ©C ©W zEk §l ©n §A mlFr o ¥T ©z §l ,oEz ¥xM ¦i,Ep «¥Y ¦i xw §i L §n ¦W cFa §k ¦l §e ,ElŸ «R ¦i §e Er §x §k ¦i Epi«¥dŸl ¡ dFd §i Li«¤pt §l .oFWl lM r ©aX ¦Y ,K ¤x«¤A lM r ©x §k ¦Y L §l i ¦M ,l ¥a ¥z i ¥a §WFi

The Book of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) - selected versesThe book of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) is one of the five scrolls (megillot). Kohelet, often called “the preacher,” is read in the synagogueon the holiday of Sukkot. One traditional explanation is that Kohelet, who is writing in the autumn of his life, is comparable to the Fallharvest. The autumn is a reminder of the winter to come, and the death of plants and trees. Kohelet’s views are those of a matureindividual, closer to the end of life than to the beginning which would be represented by the buds of Spring.

Reprinted from The Jewish Religion: A Companion, Oxford University Press.

These are the words of the preacher, King David’s son, King in Jerusalem:

It is recited on “Pesach,” the Holiday thatcelebrates the liberation of the Jewish People from slavery in Egypt.

On “Shabbat Chol HaMoed,” the Shabbat that occurs during the Intermediate Days of the Holiday, or on the Seventh Day of thatHoliday when Shabbat coincides with that day, the reading of the “Megilah” of “Shir HaShirim” is incorporated into the Services.

Akdamot- A Shavout reading prior to the 10 CommandmentsAkdamot is read in Israel on Shavuot, and on the first day of Shavuot in the Diaspora, after the Kohen is called to the Torah but beforehe recites the blessing. The Torah reading itself features the Ten Commandments. This alternate version of Akdamot wasconstructed, based on Psalm 119, by Rabbi Noah Golinkin and published by the Schechter Institute. The verse numbers appear inparentheses.

Happy are those whose way is blameless, who follow the teaching of Ahdonai: (1)
