2 Lighting Shabbat Candles We light the candles and then say a blessing. It s a common tradition to light them, then wave our hands towards our faces (often three times) to bring the light of Shabbat into ourselves. Then covering one s eyes lighly with one s hands, recite the blessing before uncovering our eyes to take in the light of Shabbat. page 4 Blessed are you, SOURCE OF LIGHT, our God, sovereign of all worlds, who has made us holy with your mitzvot, and commanded us to kindle the Shabbat light. 2

4 Friday Night Blessing Over Wine The leader (bar/bat mitzvah student) holds up the kiddush cup and sings the blessing. The congregation follows along holding their little cups. Drink after finishing the blessing. For many years at TBI we have used the Orthodox version of the blessings with the modification made by Rabbi Yitz to say... Students are now learning the Reconstructionist blessing below. Orthodox Blessing from Hertz Prayerbook Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who created the fruit of the vine. Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who hast hallowed us by thy commandments and hast taken pleasure in us, and in love and favor hast given us thy holy Sabbath as an inheritance, a memorial of the creation that day being also the first of the holy convocations, in remembrance of the departure from Egypt. For thou hast chosen us and hallowed us above all nations, and in love and favour hast given us thy holy Sabbath as an inheritance. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who hallowed the Sabbath. Reconstructionist Blessing from Kol HaNeshama: Shabbat Vehagim, p 118 Blessed are you, THE BOUNDLESS ONE, our God, sovereign of all worlds, who creates the fruit of the vine. Blessed are you, THE SOURCE OF LIFE, our God, sovereign of all worlds, who has set us apart with your mitzvot and taken pleasure in us, and the holy Shabbat with love and favor made our possession, a remembrance of the work of Creation. For it is the first of all the holy days proclaimed, a symbol of the Exodus from Egypt. For you have called to us and set us apart to serve you, and given us to keep in love and favor, your holy Shabbat. Blessed are you, THE SOURCE OF WONDER, who sets apart Shabbat. 4

6 Tallit Blessing Putting on one s tallit is a special opportunity for centering before prayer. We have a traditional blessing for helping us do that. One way some people do this is to hold up the tallit, recite the blessing, kiss the two ends of the collar of the tallit, and then put it on. You may see a variety of other practices. page 142 Blessed are you, VEILED ONE, our God, sovereign of all worlds, who has made us holy with your mitzvot, and commanded us to wrap ourselves with the fringed tallit. 6

8 Shema & V ahavta: The Oneness of God and Commitment of Love for God People have different customs for reciting Shema. Some stand, others don t. Many cover their eyes with their hands or a tallit. Some simply close their eyes. Find the way that best helps you connect to the oneness. It is customary at TBI and among many other Jews to whisper the second line of the prayer. page 276 Reader and congregation: Listen, Israel: THE ETERNAL is our God, THE ETERNAL ONE alone! Whispered quietly: Blessed be the name and glory of God s realm forever! Reader and congregation: And you must love THE ONE, your God, with your whole heart, with every breath, with all you have. Take these words that I command you now to heart. Teach them intently to your children. Speak them when you sit inside your house or walk upon the road, when you lie down and when you rise. And bind them as a sign upon your hand, and keep them visible before your eyes. Inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. 8

10 Amidah: Ancestors Our tradition at TBI includes some prayer choreography. You will see many people begin the Amidah by taking three steps back (to prepare) three steps forward (to enter the state of prayer). We typically bend our knees when chanting KExÄ (baruch), bow at dÿ ` (ata) and rise as we chant dedi (Adonai). page 294 Open my lips, BELOVED ONE, and let my mouth declare your praise. (Read silently) Blessed are you the ANCIENT ONE, our G-d, G-d of our ancestors, God of Abraham God of Isaac God of Jacob God of Sarah God of Rebekah God of Rachel and God of Leah; Great, heroic, awesome G-d, supreme divinity, Imparting deeds of kindness, better of all; Mindful of the loyalty of Israel's ancestors, Bringing, with love, redemption to their children's children For the sake of the divine name. Regal One, our help, salvation, and protector: Blessed are you, KIND ONE, The shield of Abraham and help of Sarah. 10

In loyalty you sustain the living, Nurturing the life of every living thing, Upholding those who fall, Healing the sick, freeing the captive, And remaining faithful to all life Held dormant in the earth. Who can compare to you, almighty God, Who can resemble you, the source of life and death, Who makes salvation grow? Faithful are you in giving life to every living thing. Blessed are you, THE FOUNT OF LIFE, Who gives and renews life. 12

14 Amidah: Hallowing God s Name Holy, Holy, Holy The beginning of the 3rd section of the Amidah is read silently. The leader begins aloud then on page 303. page 302 We sanctify your name throughout this world, As it is sanctified in the heavens above, As it is written by your prophet: "And each celestial being calls to another, and exclaims Holy, holy, holy is THE RULER of the Multitudes of Heaven! All the world is filled with divine glory!" And then, with quaking noises, So overwhelming in their power, They raise up their voices, Rise to face the seraphim And, facing them, they say: "Blessed is the glory of THE HOLY ONE, wherever God may dwell!" 14

Soon, and in our lifetime, May you come to dwell eternally! May your greatness and your holiness be realized In Jerusalem, your city, From one generation to the next, And throughout all eternities. And may our eyes behold your realm, As it has been prophesied in songs about your power: "May THE ETERNAL reign forever, your God, O Zion, from one generation to the next. Halleluyah!" From one generation to the next may we declare your greatness, And for all eternities may we affirm your holiness, And may your praise, our God, never be absent from our mouths, now and forever. For you are a great and holy God. Blessed are you, THE AWESOME ONE, the holy God. 16

18 Amidah: The Day s Holiness The Joys of Celebrating Shabbat & Our God, Our Ancients God At TBI, we generally do the first part of the 4th section (page 306-7) of the Amidah silently. After the leader completes the l dor va dor part of the 3rd section of the Amidah, everyone comes together starting on page 309 for yismehu and eloheynu. In most Shabbat services, the remainder of the Amidah (sections 5-7) is completed silently. page 308 Those who keep Shabbat enjoy your realm, They call Shabbat the summit of delight. A people that observes the holy seventh day Enjoys abundant goodness and delight. The seventh day you favored and made holy, You have called it the most loved of days, A sign you made of it eternally, In memory of Creation's works and days. page 310 Our God, our ancient's God, Take pleasure in our rest. Enable us to realize holiness through your mitzvot, Give us our portion in your Torah, Let us enjoy the good things of your world, And gladden us with your salvation. Refine our hearts to serve you honestly. DEAR ONE, our God, help us to perpetuate Your holy Shabbat with love and joy. Let all Israel, and all who treat your name as holy, Rest upon this day. Blessed are you, SACRED ONE, Source of the holiness of Shabbat. 18

The first part of the prayers is said as we stand on the bima preparing to open the ark and take out the Torah. page 382 There is none like you among the powerful, ETERNAL ONE, And there are no deeds like your deeds. Your realm embraces all the worlds, Your reign encompasses all generations. THE ETERNAL ONE reigns! THE ETERNAL ONE has always reigned! THE ETERNAL ONE shall reign beyond all time. THE ETERNAL ONE gives strength to our people. May THE ETERNAL ONE bless our people with enduring peace. Source of all mercy, Deal kindly and in good will with Zion.

Blessed are you, WISE ONE, who takes pleasure in the Torah, and in Moses, servant of God, and in the prophets of truth and justice.

Faithful are you, ETERNAL ONE, our God, and faithful are your words; not a single word of yours is unfulfilled, for you are a sovereign God, faithful and merciful. Blessed are you ETERNAL ONE, the God faithful in all your words. Be merciful to Zion, which is the house of life to us, and be a help to Israel, your people, soon and in our days. Blessed are you, ETERNAL ONE, who gives joy to Zion through her children. Give us joy ETERNAL ONE, our God, in Elijah, your prophet and your servant. Soon may redemption come and give joy to our hearts. May God turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents. And may your house be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Blessed are you, ETERNAL ONE, who brings an everlasting peace.

41 Glossary of Hebrew B nai Mitzvah Terms Aliyah Amidah Bar mitzvah Bat mitzvah Bimah B nai mitzvah Challah Davvening D var Torah Erev Shabbat Gabbai Haftarah Hatzi Kaddish Ascending to the Torah; being called up to the bimah. (Plural = aliyot) The prayer of 18 benedictions that includes these themes (among others): praise for Adonai and gratitude for all Adonai has given us. Literally, son of the commandments. Traditionally at age 13 boys become responsible for carrying out the mitzvot (commandments) of Jewish practice. Literally, daughter of the commandments. A newer tradition for girls age 12 or older (13 at TBI) with the same focus as the bar mitzvah. The raised platform at the front of the sanctuary from which the service is led. Plural for bar or bat mitzvah. The braided egg bread served on Shabbat. Praying with focus and intention. Literally a word of Torah. The sermon or teaching on the Torah portion. B nai mitzvah students often prepare a talk of about 10 minutes, sharing what happens in the Torah portion and his/her take on what we can learn from it. This comes after extended study of the parsha, discussion with the rabbi, investigation of how rabbis of long ago interpreted the text and how contemporary thinkers understand it. (Plural = divrei Torah) Friday night. The layperson responsible for keeping things in ritual order in the synagogue and during the service. (Feminine = gabbayit, plural = gabbayim) Note: This is not Half-a- Torah. Rather, it is the weekly excerpt selected by the ancient rabbis to augment the weekly parsha. There is generally a thematic link between the Haftarah reading and the Torah reading, though occasionally the Haftarah is more connected to a particular time of year in the Jewish calendar than to the Torah portion it accompanies. Students do not need to refer to the Haftarah in writing their d var Torah, but if they want to they can! Literally, this means half or short kaddish. It s an Aramaic prayer of praise used to separate segments of the service from each other. Kaddish Titkabal The Aramaic prayer of praise that ends the Amidah. Kedushah The passionate section at the center of the Amidah extolling the holiness of God and Shabbat. 41
42 Ketuvim Kiddush Kippah Leyn Ma ariv Maftir Midrash Mincha Minhag Mitzvah Nevi im Parsha This is the third section of the Tanach (Jewish Bible), called The Writings, It contains the books of Proverbs, Psalms, Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Ezra, Esther, Chronicles, etc. Blessing over the wine to sanctify Shabbat or festivals. A religious head covering customarily worn to show Jewish identity and respect for God. Also called Yarmulkah and skull-cap. To read from the Torah scroll. Evening service The final portion of the weekly Torah parsha. It is often read by the b nai mitzvah student on Shabbat. Rabbinic literature that offers insights about people and events that can add new dimensions to the stories and laws in the Tanach. The Bible brings up many questions and has many mysterious gaps in information. Midrashim (plural of midrash) fill in the blanks and offer background to flesh out some of the stories. Students may look to midrash to help understand their Torah portions. Rabbi Boris and Rabbi Yitzhak can assist with this. Afternoon service The custom. Congregations share certain customs, and many minhagim (pl) may be specific to that particular community. Good deed, commandment of righteous behavior (Plural = mitzvot). This is the second section of the Tanach (Jewish Bible), and it means the prophets. It includes such books as Joshua, Judges, Isaiah, Jonah, and Hosea, etc. The weekly Torah portion. Rabbi/Rav/Rebbe Teacher and synagogue leader. The Rabbis Shabbat Shacharit Shehecheyanu The expression the Rabbis is often used to refer to the many generations of rabbis over the past two thousand years who shared interpretations and commentaries on the Torah and other sacred texts. Commentary is a term used to refer to their interpretations and gleanings on the text. The Sabbath. Shabbat begins sundown on Friday evening and ends Saturday evening when three stars can be seen in the sky. Morning Service Hebrew prayer that thanks God for giving us life, sustaining us, and allowing us to reach this moment. It is said on the first day of a yearly holiday, for the first fruits of 42
43 the season, upon seeing someone for the first time in 30 days, and at special rites and occasions. Sh ma Siddur Tallit Tannach Tefillin T fillah Tikkun Torah Trope Tzedakah Yarmulke Central Hebrew prayer acknowledging the oneness of God. The Hebrew prayer book with a specific sequence of prayers. A prayer shawl with tzitzit (fringes) worn by Jews during Shacharit. The combined texts of the Torah, Nevi im and Ketuvim. Small, black leather, cube-shaped cases containing Torah texts written on parchment, which according to Torah and tradition are worn as reminders of God and one s obligations to do mitzvot during daily life. Prayer To fix or repair. With Olam it refers to repairing the world in reference to improving access to justice and our world s ecology. The main sacred text of the Jewish people, containing the 5 books (or the Pentateuch), including Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. It is the basis for laws and ethics, and represents the core of Judaism. Every week, we study and recite from one Torah portion (parsha). The Torah is NOT the entire Jewish Bible (Tanach); it makes up only the first of the three sections. Cantilation marks used for chanting the Torah and Haftarah. The righteous act of giving, usually money, to improve the world; charity. Yiddish for kippah. 43
