Members Only Messages Activity within 7 days: New Questions Post Description Files Photos Links Database Polls Calendar Promote Info Settings Group Information Members: 71 Category: Congregations Welcome to the 10 and 10 Minyan, an exciting and innovative new Jewish Tefillah Service located in the Pico-Robertson area of Los Angeles, which is modeled after Shira Hadasha in Jerusalem. Our Minyan will start off operating on a monthly basis on Friday Nights. A woman will lead a lively and song filled Kabalat Shabbat and men will lead Mincha and Ma'ariv. Our Minyan embraces as a religious value the inclusion of both men and women in leadership and ritual participation with a commitment to halakhah and Tefillah. Within the context of our halakhic duty to daven, we strive to make Tefillah a spiritual celebration that connects to and nurtures our religious lives as individuals and as a community. The mehitzah (partition) in our Minyan runs approximately down the middle of our space, so that the men’s and women’s sections are side by side. Most importantly, we will only begin those parts of the service that require a Minyan with presence of both both ten men and ten women. We hope to make the most of this opportunity to grow and nurture a community and an environment where everyone can feel involved in a truly engaging Tefillah experience. To learn more please email 10and10Minyan@yahoogroups.com.

Next Shabbat Service Saturday, November 10 10:00 AM: Service The December Shabbat Morning service will be held December 10, which will be both Chanukah and Rosh Chodesh. What Is Chavurat Achim? Chavurat Achim is an informal community committed to the continuation of egalitarian religious services in the Greater Waterbury area with the maximum participation of all its members and friends. What Services Does Chavurat Achim Provide? Chavurat Achim holds Shabbat services approximately once a month. It will also help organize yahrzeit minyanim during the week when needed. Chavurat Achim will also hold special Shabbat and other services in homes of community members who are physically unable to leave their homes to attend services in a regular synagogue. Where Are Services Held? Services are generally held in private homes. When weather permits, portions of some services may be held outdoors. To learn where a particular service will be held, call Meyr Bram at (203) 755-9562, fill out our Chavurat Achim Inquiry Form or send email to info@chavuratachim.org. If attendance becomes too large for private homes, other locations will be found. How Are Chavurat Achim Services Different? Chavurat Achim services are highly interactive. There is no formal leader and there is lots of questions, with the Torah discussion led by a different participant each month. Services are conducted in private homes, sitting comfortably around a living room. Using the philosophy that nobody should stand alone during a difficult time, everyone stands and says kaddish together during the mourner's kaddish and the names of Israeli victims of terrorist attacks are remembered at each service. Anyone there can decide they want to include, or skip, a particular prayer. Newsletters Chavurat Achim sporadically publishes a newsletter. 5766 (Fall 2005) Issue http://chavuratachim.org/index.php?content=index&title=Chavurat&20Achim 11/25/2007 Chico Havurah--an Inclusive Jewish Community Page 1 of 2 Home | Contact | Calendar | News & Events | Havurah Happenings The Chico Havurah was formed in the summer of 2003 to give Jews in Chico an alternative to the traditional Jewish synagogue experience. Jews in this area mirror the growing diversity of Jewish communities across the nation, who come from a range of traditions and are increasingly made up of interfaith couples. What is the ideal Jewish community? How can we uniquely celebrate the power of the Shabbat? How do we-individually and collectively-know the unknowable? It is these and many other questions we are trying to answer. We will strive to do so in an atmosphere of "joyful community", study of Torah, democratic process, and enhancement of spirituality through tikkun olam by doing our part to repair the world. That is our mission statement and we are seeking congregants who share our values. Authentic democracy As a creative, inclusive Jewish community, we embrace "authentic democracy", which establishes that all major decisions made by the Chico Havurah will be decided by a vote of all members 13 years and older with each individual having a vote. Spiritual leadership Chico Havurah was formed under the spiritual guidance of Rabbi Yitzhak Nates, a Reconstructionist rabbi. This branch of Judaism honors tradition while recognizing that individuals must find personal meaning in the ways they practice the ancient wisdom of our ancestors. We continue to work collaboratively with guest rabbis to develop strong programs in learning, relationship, and social action. Membership Just as spirituality has no one definition, so does Judaism accept a wide variety of paths that lead to the Divine. Our Havurah members are diverse in belief and interests: Some individuals focus on Torah study, others on the divinity in human relationships, love of nature, meditation, and social action. We support each other as we search for a practice that enhances our lives. Services Shabbat services, followed by an Oneg Shabbat, are held every Friday at 7:00 p.m. See calendar for up-to-date schedule. We are delighted to announce that as of Friday night July 28, all services and classes (unless otherwise specified) will be held at The Congregational Church, 1190 East First Ave. ( the corner of Downing & East 1st Ave.)(map) http://web.archive.org/web/20070807010620/http://www.chicohavurah.org/ 11/21/2007 Page 1 of 1 DARCHEI NOAM Home About us News Calendar A modern Orthodox congregation in St. Louis Park In the Community This Week Parshat Vayishlach We extend our condolences to the Shapiro and Tychman families on the passing, last Shabbat, of Al Tychman.

We wish a refuah shelema to Lisa Donath who was injured in an accident in New York on Wednesday. Please keep Elisa Miriam bat Pesia Henya in your prayers for a swift and complete recovery.

Havurah on the Hill donations provide vital annual operating support for the BCJH that enable the Center to preserve and restore the Vilna Shul and its collection, create and mount exhibitions and maintain its building and programs.In acknowledgement of their support, Havurah on the Hill participants are offered unique opportunities for involvement with the BCJH. On one Friday night each month, as well as on some holidays and special occasions, Havurah on the Hill participants gather for learning services, speakers, songs and meals. In Hebrew, havurah means a gathering of community or friends. The BCJH Havurah on the Hill seeks to reinvigorate Boston's rapidly growing young Jewish community by taking advantage of the unique elements the Vilna Shul has to offer. Built in 1919, this extraordinary building was modeled after the medieval synagogues of Europe. Yet it evokes the elegant simplicity of a colonial New England meeting house, synthesizing the old world with the new. Distinctive features of the two-story brick building are the multi-colored stained glass Star of David looking out over Beacon Hill's north slope, the hand-rendered art covering the walls and ceiling, and three skylights flooding the sanctuary with natural light and imparting a spiritual quality to the space. The Vilna Shul, its beautiful sanctuary quiet for 20 years, rings out again with the sounds and songs of Jewish tradition. Its social hall, worn with years and awaiting renovations, nevertheless overflows with spirit as young Bostonians enjoy programs celebrating the traditions of their forebears.

About Us We are a two years old and growing community at the Yale Slifka Center in New Haven, CT, consisting of students from Yale University and others from the New Haven area. In our services, we strive to create an uplifting and song-filled tefilla while maximizing the participation of women and men all in accordance with a traditional halachic framework. Our community meets several times a month on Shabbat and Jewish holidays. Consistent with our commitment to halacha, we have sought out the opportunities afforded by traditional Jewish sources for increasing the inclusion of women in our tefillot. In our Shabbat morning services, both women and men may have aliyot and read Torah and Haftarah. P’sukei D’zimra and the Torah service are led both by women and men, while men lead Shacharit and Mussaf. In our Friday night services, a woman leads Kabbalat Shabbat and a man leads Ma’ariv. We have a mechitza separating women and men during tefilla, and our custom is to wait for 10 women and 10 men to start Shacharit or Ma’ariv. We hope you’ll find Minyan Urim to be an open and friendly environment. Come visit us and see what we’re all about! Contact Us To be put on our mailing list, please contact us.

Underlying Or Chadash philosophy is a firm commitment to Torah and halacha as developed over our two-thousand-plus year tradition. We believe in the temporal and spatial universality of Torah and halacha, and that Torah and halacha give us the spiritual roadmap which we use to increase our connection with Hashem. We believe that by coming together as an open and supportive community, we can derive inspiration and understanding from each other. Or Chadash seeks to facilitate this process by using a three-pronged approach elucidated by Shimon HaTzadik in Pirkei Avot (1:2): ● ● ● Torah - By offering classes and discussion groups. We can celebrate our unique viewpoints and learn from each other, as long as our dialogue with others is respectful and recognizes the Tzelem Elokim present in each of us. Avodah - By finding ways to increase our kavanah in prayer. It is our firm belief that in modeling an inclusive prayer community, we show respect for our individual differences and create a cohesive whole that is more than the sum of its parts. Gemilut Chasadim – By increasing opportunities to engage in chesed. We can connect with our fellow Jews through activities such as sharing communal meals or engaging in community chesed projects. This connectivity can help us to increase our own spirituality. Please help us strengthen Or Chadash by encouraging people you know to take a moment to subscribe to our email list.

Tefillin: Mikdash and all-encompassing space (From a teaching at the recent "Seeking the Light" spiritual retreat with Capital Kehillah - From the Zohar on Parshat Terumah, expansively interpreted with the help of Tikkunei Zohar, Ohev Yisrael the Apter Rebbe, Sfas Emes the Gerer Rebbe, Art Green, and Mark Kirschbaum.) This week we conclude Sefer Shmot, the book of Exodus. The entire second half of Shmot is concerned with building the Mishkan, the holy tent in the desert. The opening to this five-parsha-long section, way back in Parshat Terumah, gives ha-Shem's reason: “Let them make me a Sacred space (Mikdash), and I will dwell in their midst" (Shemot 25:8). The Zohar tells us that this verse refers to the mystery of the tefillin. To go from Sacred Space (Mikdash) to tefillin takes some mystical interpretation. We start with the idea that "Mikdash" represents the “aleph” of the four worlds. In gematriyah (Hebrew numerology) "Mikdash" = 444 (mem-40, kuf-100, dalet-4, shin-300), while "Aleph" = 111 (aleph-1, lamed-30, fey-80). The four mystical worlds of creation (asiyah, yetzirah, briah, and atzilut, all the different forms of creation) are always simultaneously present http://www.zoominyan.org/ 11/25/2007 Rabbi‐Led Emergents Ahavat Torah Congregation - 343 Church Lane, Brentwood, CA P.O.

This is hard to say, especially because we often must get lost along the way in order to arrive. - ari j What does it mean to be in the woods? [to be] in contact with nature. At the edge of our comfort zones. Where the ordinary meets the sacred. - ben n The woods represents the wilderness, the way things were before civilization destroyed the multiplicity of experience. JitW is a move towards embracing the multiplicity of Gd experience in a Jewish context. - zvi b I translate “woods” into Hebrew as midbar, and then back into English as “wilderness.” We congregate outside of established Jewish institutional structures; outside of the rules, processes and assumptions that exist elsewhere. We create our own space. We find God in the midbar, as our ancestors did. - ilana s The woods for me is a place far enough away from civilization that I can fully immerse myself in Shabbat and in nature without the distractions of the outside world. It is a place of natural smells, walking paths (or bush whacking), a place to be. - toni b The “in the Woods” part of “Jews in the Woods” is actually a misnomer. It refers to the fact that we are “out of the city” and “surrounded by trees,” but shouldn’t be taken to mean that we are actually “in the woods.” Once upon a time, one Jew in the Woods actually did bring a tent and slept outside; that Jews in the Woods shabbaton should really have been called “Jew in the Woods….and Everyone Else Sleeping Inside.” - sasha b The term ”the woods” is more a state of mind of retreat from the world than an actual location. (We meet in whatever retreat center is available.) - daniele k Jews in the woods is a place in the hearts of all its members. Wherever there is a Fruity Jew dancing, or a Crunchy Jew camping, or a Tangy Jew Praying, the list could go on, that is where Jews in the Woods is. Today my friend Angelica and I contacted and through using one of the things I experienced at JitW, for those few minutes — JitW was here. Jews in the woods is about coming together for a weekend and taking this amazing energy and spreading it throughout the world, in a sense the whole world is JitW greg r z Search Search z JitW? { { { about jews in the woods decision making history http://jewsinthewoods.org/aleph/into-the-woods/ 11/25/2007 Moishe House Boston: Kavod Jewish Social Justice House Page 1 of 2 Moishe House Boston: Kavod Jewish Social Justice House Home | Calendar | Directions | Contact Us | Our History | Latest News | Meet the Leaders | Photos Welcome!

I am happy to announce that I will become spiritual leader of Temple Beth Shalom in Long Beach, California starting in mid-July. I was attracted to this position for many reasons. The congregation is eager for an experienced rabbi who is also an innovator and a passionate educator. I was impressed with the strength and the vision of the leadership and the character of the congregation. This position enables me to live close to my parents who live in West Los Angeles. This is the area where I began my career and many of my close friends and colleagues live nearby. I am grateful for the opportunity to renew my career and to combine the innovative efforts of the past three years with Panim Hadashot with my experience as a congregational rabbi. I will be working with my new community on implementing many of the ideas of Panim Hadashot and http://www.panimhadashot.org/Home.asp 11/25/2007 Pardes Atlanta Page 1 of 2 Adult Jewish Learning | In-depth | Interactive | Inclusive Home About Us Calendar Contact Links Pardes Online Learning Atlanta Jewish Events Calendar Jewish Federation of Atlanta Atlanta JCC About Us Pardes Atlanta, a local affiliate of the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem, offers monthly classes for the entire community.
