1 THE a-me-dah: Mind, Body and Soul 1. Mind Think about it: when you want something REALLY badly, how do you ask for it? Whether it s a good grade, a basketball victory, being able to go visit a friend over vacation or a positive encounter with a boy or girl you like, how do you express asking for something? Role Plays 1. Ask for volunteers to act out a three year old in the toy aisle at Target. He/she sees a toy and gets flustered that he/she can t take it home. A tantrum follows. Now, ask for volunteers to act out how THEY would ask their teachers, friends, parents for something they want. Explain: As we grow, we learn a system for asking, how to ask for what we desire and need. There s a Rolling Stones song called You Can t Always Get What You Want. The chorus is the song title and continues with but if you try sometimes, you get what you need The Amidah is the Jewish attempt at trying to get what we want and need through asking in the right way. Through a system of 18 blessings, divided into 3 categories of praise, petition and thanksgiving, the Amidah gives us the chance for our wishes, hopes, wants and needs to be fulfilled. Some people are hesitant to pray because they feel that no one is really listening. When you demands something, does it always work? What does knowing we don t always get what we demand or ask for teach us regarding prayer? No, you can t always get what you want, but if you try, you may get what you need- a chance to let it all out. How can you score the point, if you don t take the shot? The Amidah gives us the opportunity to let out our feelings when we don t necessarily know the words we want to say. Explain the weekday Amidah ( includes petition blessings, on Shabbat there are no brachot of petition): The Amidah can be summarized the way a (smart, polite) child asks for a cookie: You re such a nice mom, you re the best!. Can I have a cookie please? Thanks Mommy! Emotions, physical, words, feelings mind, body, soul Amidah or THE Tefillah, the meat of the prayer services, gives us a chance to fulfill our basic spiritual needs through a 3 part asking process: Shevach/Praise: You suck up to the person you re asking something from, get them ready to want to give to you (first 3 brachot) Bakasha/Petition: You state what it is you want/need, you let it all out (13 intermediate)
2 Hodayah/Thanksgiving: acknowledge receipt, in hopes that you ll get what it is you ve asked for, show appreciation (last 3) We use our minds, bodies and souls in this essential Jewish prayer. We used our minds to figure out HOW we ask and now our bodies to get ourselves prepared to ask. Step 2: Body Now that we ve figured out how we go about asking for our prayers to be fulfilled, next we have to prove ourselves present. Ask USYers to respond to the following without using words (physical responses): you got an A on a math test your volleyball team won the state championship you didn t pass your driving test your sister stole your favorite shirt you got into a fight with your best friend How do Jews typically tell a story? What s a Jewish stereotype for how we talk? (using our hands) We describe emotions often using our bodies. How does a mime tell you a story without using words? How do our bodies help us express emotion? Excitement, fear, sadness, laughter? Body- movin and groovin to the prayer beat body language The Amidah Mambo Do you stretch as you get out of bed? Do you warm up before you exercise? Do you raise your hand in class if you want to speak? Some people find it easiest to demonstrate their intentions through movement. For example, how does a mime tell a story? How do Jews (stereotypically) talk? With their bodies! How do we demonstrate where we are emotionally and spiritually- by being present physically! Jews talk with their hands to express themselves we can also pray with our feet and bodies to express ourselves! Have USYers stand up. Call out the brachot of the Amidah that involve movement in Hebrew and English (attached). Ask them to respond first how they would naturally and then teach the actual choreography. Go through each bracha in order so they can put it all together in one dance Step 3: Soul Soul- the visual summary of the Amidah- how do I connect with the a-me-dah? Soul Slogans/bumper stickers: hand out a-me-dah blessings chart Read each blessing on the Amidah chart and corresponding picture. As a group (or in chevruta depending on size of the group), use the markers and poster board to create a Soul Slogan. Choose which blessing resonates with you at this point in your life? Which one relates to your present situation? Select it and think of a Soul Slogan or
3 bumper sticker a advertisement or slogan that represents that blessing and what it means to you. Which blessing/image do your wishes, hopes, fears or prayers RIGHT NOW relate to? (either with what you ask for, what you re proud of or what you re thankful, etc. all themes of the AMIDAH): Eg. of slogan: Oseh Shalom: Give Peace a Chance, Peace by Piece Refuah/Physical health: EveryBODY Move your Body, Free to Move and Groove Conclusion: Have them present their slogans. Remind them to think about these questions, ideas, images and values when they feel they aren t necessarily connecting to the brachot in the Amidah and to create their own moments of kavanah and meaning based on these concepts and themes. You may not get what you re asking for, but you re taking the opportunity to ask. The a-me-dah: Finding Meaning in the Big 18 (really, it s 19) Amidah Blessing: Thinking about it Idea or value from my life #1 Avot: Your ties to your past, generations before you your parents and grandparents and ancestors TRADITION! How are you different from your parents generation? How are they different from THEIR parents? What do we take from them? What have we created for ourselves? Do you have special family traditions? Is God mentioned 3 separate times because each of our ancestors saw God in a different way? How do you relate to God differently from your parents? Something you are proud of about your family #2 Gvurot God s strength and power, God providing for our needs and our hopes to benefit from God s powers. #3 Kedusha sanctification- God s uniqueness, God is like no other, gives us a chance to reflect on God s holiness before we ask for something. #4 Daat- knowledge (Spiritual request) #5 Tshuva: Repentence (Spiritual request) #6 Slicha: Asking for forgiveness (spiritual request) Does it scare you that you don t have power or control over everything in your life? Do you leave some decisiosn up to faith or hope, knowing that God has the ultimate power? What makes God holy? Have you ever experienced the holiness of God in some shape of form? We ask for knowledge. Is knowledge, power? How does knowledge give you strength? Why do we feel remorse or regret? What is Jewish about guilt? How does repentance or admitting to our mistakes make us better people? When you are truly sorry for what you have done and you apologize for your actions, you should be granted forgiveness, if you truly express regret, right? Can you think of examples of actions that DON T deserve forgiveness? Something you know you have no control over Have you ever seen a site/sight of beauty? Have you witnesses something amazing lately not created by human action? Something you ve learned recently that you didn t know before, something you would love to know more about, be better at, etc. Did you do or say something you regret recently? Have you hurt someone or wanted to take something back that you did or said? Have you fought with someone you really cared about? Have you apologized to someone you ve admit to hurting? Do you ask your parents (often the people we are most critical of) for forgiveness for disrespectful behavior? Something you ve had to ask forgiveness for is
4 #7 Geula/Redemption (Spiritual request) Why would redemption be a spiritual request? What kinds of things would redeem us as a people? The end of poverty? Unity between denominations? Peace in Israel? #8 Refuah/Physical health Could you imagine if something in your body wasn t working as it should? If you pulled a muscle or suddenly couldn t see? How much does your physical well being effect everything else about you? Eg. How does a cold effect your mood? #9 Birkat Hashanim- earning a livelihood so we may be able to provide for our physical needs #10 Kibbutz Galuyot/Zionism, Jews all responsible for one another (physical needs as a people) #11Tzedaka and Mishpat- justice and self rule, self determination in our own space #12 Minim- because we self rule, we can punish wrong do-ers and protect ourselves #13 Tzadikim- acknowledging righteous people and acts *#14 Jerusalem- eternal Jewish connection to Israel and Jerusalem as its capital *#15 David - When we as a people, get our national requests filled, redemption will come to us as a people, associated with David #16 Shome ah Tefillah- please hear our prayers Enjoying life s pleasures- what is different about a need and a want? Is it okay to want things? Do you work to earn money for your wants? How else do you get them? Should you have to earn what you need and want? Do the Jewish people need one common ground, both a physical space and unity as a people? Are all Jews really responsible for each other? Why is this value so important Does justice and democracy play a specific role in Judaism? How so? Why do you think we pursue justice and demand the need for self rule? What was life like for us when we couldn t make our own choices as a people? Can you relate this at all to Israel s defense against terrorists? Who is a hero? Who is a leader to you? What kihnds of acts do you consider heroic or righteous? What type of person/kinds of acts do you look up to? What does it mean to have a homeland? How is Jerusalem holy for Jews? Why do Jews feel at home in Jerusalem? Why do we include a foreign city in our prayers? What significance does it have for a Jew in Morocco and a Jew in Miami to pray for the same place? What happens to one Jew, happens to us all is this true? Why do we ask for national requests, why is it important to speak as a people in asking for help> A final plea for God to hear our prayers- the pretty please part of the Amidah, a time to add your own personal thoughts and prayers A clean slate -we no longer feel remorse or guilt and we wish to start anew, we are now redeemed. A new beginning for you or a change you wish to make in yourself A physical feat you ve accomplished that you are proud of, a physical improvement for YOURSELF Something you are proud of that you ve worked to attain, something you want that you hope to earn The most special or important thing you OWN Think about your own family and community. How does your family look out for one another? What does it mean to be part of a community? Has your relationship with Israel recently changed? When something happens in Israel or to someone Jewish, I feel Something you do for other people in your community that ensures justice, a way you fight to repair the world. Something you do for you own independence A rule in your house or at school you consistently don t follow for which you face consequences Something you ve done that you are really proud of Someone you know that you truly admire or see as a role model Something you would give up if it would make a significant difference A memory you have of Jerusalem A special place you have that s not your home A holy place that connects you to your childhood or your family Its more than just about you a wish, hope or dream you have for the Jewish people, what is the magic answer to all of our problems as a people? If only could change, the Jewish people would be okay. What s plaguing your mind and keeping you up at night, what are you stressed or worried about, what scares you? What change would you like to see in yourself?
5 #17 Avodah worship (blessing of thanksgiving) #18 Modim anachnu- thanksgiving (Blessing of thanksgiving) Sim Shalom (peace upon us) Why would we conclude this prayer with a thank you? What power does expressing gratitude do to ensure we get what we ve asked for? Why is it so important to express gratitude and show you are thankful? Do you think we are at times spoiled as we don t necessarily acknowledge how fortunate we are and kvetch so easily about what we DON T have? Why is it so much easier to express what we lack than what we can be thankful for? Why does Jewish prayer always include a blessing for peace? Do you think our tumultuous history has influenced the ending of our most important prayer? Do you think we are a peaceful nation? How? A way you express gratitude or appreciation without the actual words thank you Anachnu us- speak on behalf of the Jewish people, express something for which you are grateful as member of a group, thankful or feel lucky to have Something that brings you peace and completeness, something that makes you feel safe and secure
6 Body Movin : The Amidah Mambo Improvisation: Allow your body to respond to the following --How do you prepare for something very important? How do you show you are ready to appear serious and focused? -- How does your body respond to your emotions? Eg. excitement, sadness, laughter --what do you do when you greet someone famous, important or even intimidating? --How do you show remorse or regret, or that you feel badly about something? --How do you exit from an important person? Eg. How do you walk away from the Kotel? How do you show that you are through with someone who is important?
