Vayera
9 Cheshvan 5785 (November 10, 2024)

During Cheshvan we are doing the work of inner personal transformation. It is important as we do this work to assess those aspects of our lives where we tend to be negative, either towards ourselves or others. When holidays and festivals occur it is easy for us to be upbeat and positive about ourselves and the world around us. Cheshvan, however, has no holidays, no festivals. So how do we remove the doubt and negativity from our lives during a month without holidays? It is said that we have everything we need to be happy and content, and we do, it comes from deep within. It is important that we reach deep within during this month and connect to the spark of Creator's Light within our own souls. Once we realize that we are blessed with this spark of Light and connect to it, then removing doubt and negativity will be a breeze because we have found our inner joy and have activated it. Seek happiness from within and the world around you will be beautiful.

Seder Birkat HaLevanah
Our Sages instituted that upon seeing the moon at its first stages after renewal one is to recite a blessing called Birkat HaLevanah. The source of this blessing appears in the Talmud (Sanhedrin 42a) where the sages equate one who blesses the new moon on its proper time to one who greets the Shechinah (Divine Presence). Seder Birkat HaLevanah will follow the Arvit service on Monday, November 11, 2024 @ 8:30 PM EDT. Go to EVENTS to join us.

Shirat Ha-Azinu
Ha-Azinu is the song that Hashem instructed Moses to teach all of Israel. “And now, write for yourselves this song, and teach it to the Children of Israel; place it in their mouths, in order that this song shall be for Me as a witness against the Children of Israel.” (Devarim 31:19) The Rambam speaks of a custom to recite Shirat Ha-Azinu at the end of Weekday Shacharit. The Talmud states that Shirat Ha-Azinu was sung by the Levites during the Musaf Offering of every Shabbat (Rosh HaShanah 31a). Our NEW Shirat Ha-Azinu section of our Siddur can be found in the Weekday Siddur.

Tzedakah
The word צדקה "tzedakah" in Hebrew often is translated as charity, but it actually comes from the root צדק "tzedek" which means righteousness. The addition of the letter ה "Hei" connects righteousness to Malchut. Many people say "giving" tzedakah, but the more appropriate phrase is "doing" tzedakah. Tzedakah is in many ways an exchange of energy and is a visible expression of gratitude in this world for that which we have received, especially when we receive it from an organization that helps us to grow spiritually. We thank you in advance for your generosity and support. Click Here to make an online donation. Visit our DONATE page in order to donate using other methods.

Or would you like us to help you choose a Hebrew name and even have a certificate with your Hebrew name and verse? Email Us for more information.
