The shofar was blown on the first of Tishri, the seventh month of the Jewish religious calendar. It was Yom Teruah, Rosh Hashanah, it marked the year-end harvest as an occasion for the whole nation to seek relational and spiritual renewal. Many believe that Yom Teruah also has a prophetic significance. The first four feasts have a striking correlation with final events in the life of Jesus (His first advent). Many Bible scholars believe that the Feast of Trumpets refers prophetically to the last-days events (His second advent) that will call the nation of Israel, and the whole world, to repentance in preparation for His coming messianic kingdom. Compare this messianic hope with a Rosh Hashanah prayer from an Orthodox Jewish Behind The Curtain, p.282). With this prayer, Jewish synagogues have invoked on Rosh Hashanah Yeshua. Most Jewish rabbis insist that this reference to Yeshua has nothing to do with Jesus, the anglicized name for Yeshua Each autumn during the High Holy Days, synagogues all over the world remember the Akeidah The preeminent symbol of Rosh Hashanah or Yom Teruah In many synagogues, the

Member Drash Rosh Hashanah I, 5761 Delivered on September 30, 2000 / Tishri 1, 5761 by Art Braufman Over these Yamim Noraim, those of us who attend all services will be here for over 20 hours of prayer. That's a lot of time. Today, I want to explore with you what do we expect to get out of this investment? How can we best utilize that time? As I prepared this drash, I felt like the Hazzan who wrote Hineni, the prayer chanted by the hazzan prior to the Musaf service on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I too am filled with trembling and self-doubt and wonder who am I to stand before you on this holy day to talk about such a holy subject as prayer. Yet, as I look around and talk to people, it appears to me that many of us are struggling with prayer, so I feel driven to share some thoughts that may help enrich our experience and make these Yamim Noraim, Days of Awe, a truly transcendent, awesome experience. May my words be accepted as a search from the heart of a fellow explorer searching for the path to Adonoy. In this drash I sometimes use the masculine to refer to God, and I also use King instead of Sovereign. Also, I say "we" - yet I don't assume that we all feel the same way or share the same beliefs or struggles. I hope those terms don't interfere with my message.

Rosh Hashanah: Monday evening Sept. 17, through Wednesday night Sept. 19 Rosh Hashanah is a most opportune time to renew our commitment to G-d's instructions, observe the Mitzvot and pray that He grant us a good and sweet year. We strengthen our connection to our people on the Jewish New Year, and are judged, with all mankind, for the coming year. The synagogue services, listening to the Shofar and festive meals at home are imbued with a spirit of improving our relationship with G-d and man.

4. Examination And Course Assessment Guidelines - University Of Maryland In no case may an examination be scheduled on rosh hoshanah, yom kippur,Good Friday or the first two days of Passover. (Students http://www.inform.umd.edu/EdRes/FacRes/teach/examination.html

Examination And Course Assessment Guidelines The student must notify his or her instructor of the reason for absence as soon as possible. Where the reason for absence from a scheduled assessment is known well in advance (for example, in cases of religious observance or participation in University activities at the request of University authorities), the student must inform the instructor by the end of the schedule adjustment period. Prior notification is especially important in connection with final examinations, since failure to reschedule a final examination before conclusion of the final examination period may result in loss of credits during the semester. Where the reason is not known well in advance (for example, in cases of illness or compelling circumstances beyond the student's control), the student must inform the instructor as soon as the reason develops, if that is feasible, or, otherwise, as soon as possible after its development. All examinations and tests shall be given during class hours in accordance with the regularly scheduled (or officially "arranged") time and place of each course listed in the Schedule of Classes. Unpublished changes in the scheduling or location of classes/tests must be approved by the department chair and reported to the dean. It is the responsibility of the student to be informed concerning the dates of announced quizzes, tests, and examinations. A final examination shall be given in every undergraduate course. Exceptions may be made with the written approval of the chair of the department or the dean. All final examinations must be held on the examination days of the Official Final Examination Schedule. No final examination shall be given at a time other than that scheduled in the Official Final Examination Schedule without written permission of the department chair.

Table of Contents [Pages 478-9 Yiddish] How we learned Translated by Alan Rems I still carry memories of my first cheder, of the old rabbi. My father, blessed be his memory, used to tell us that he also studied as a child with the same REB ELIAHU the melamed. Therefore, it can be claimed that our joint rabbi was an aged distinguished scholar when we studied with him. I remember that we learned in the evening by a common tallow candle, not a paraffin candle, which every boy would bring, a candle each week. On the hearth or the stove burned a little firebrand that was the chamber's lighting. Electricity was not yet a part of our world; one had not yet heard about light bulbs. A small lamp or a "koornik" was the lighting in middleclass homes. The rabbi, a poor melamed and an old man, did things the old-fashioned way. A firebrand to light the chamber and a small half candle to study with the children. The rabbi's home was very old, of the same general age as the rabbi. Crooked, bent, the thatched roof was not far from reaching to the ground; you had to bend down to look out the little windows. Thus studied not only the big Gemorra students, but also small four to five year-old little elementary level children, who learned Hebrew and a section of the Pentateuch. One was not satisfied with a half day, as now, but one learned day and night. So, one learned and indeed deeply learned, everyone after his manner, after his ability. Judaism remained in great part strongly rooted.

"Look back through us from generation to generation. From generations whom you have known, to generations we no longer remember. We will look forward through you to generations we do not yet know, and we will be confident they will continue our family's proud Jewish tradition." With these words, my wife and I blessed our twins Ian and Margo on their B'nai Mitzvah this Spring at Beth El Synagogue in Minneapolis. Who were the generations we no longer remembered? I knew three of my four grandparents. My mother's father, Lewis Rein, died when I was only one year old. My mother, Ferna G. Rein (Heifetz) didn't know any of her father's parents except to say their names were Moses and Fanny Rein. I had waited too long to investigate our past, anyone with even remote first hand knowledge of my maternal great-grandparents had passed away. My mother was rather certain Lewis grew up in Hurley, a small town in Northern Wisconsin that borders the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Hurley Historical Society maintains a genealogy website, there is also a city directory web site from the turn of the century. Browsing this website showed no Reins in Hurley at that time, could my mother have been mistaken?

Workers' Solidarity Is Best Medicine U.S. Bosses Enforce a Police State to Launch War for Oil U.S. rulers have started their latest oil war. They are temporarily targeting Afghanistan, but their strategic goal is to secure the Middle East. They are disguising this war as a "crusade against international terrorism." The atrocious murders in September of thousands of workers and others in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. have given them the cover they need to conceal their true motives under a cloak of flag-waving patriotism. At the moment Bush and the ruling class as a whole enjoy significant popular support. However, the war's imperialist character will become clear over time. Workers who allow themselves to be fooled into supporting the new mass slaughter for Middle Eastern energy supplies can come to recognize their error. Millions will eventually learn the hard way -on the battlefield and in the tightening vise of the rulers' police state -that our class's only rational choice is to turn the guns around and fight for communist revolution. Our Party has a decisive role to play in this process. What we do to guarantee the survival and growth of the communist movement in the years ahead will determine the course of class struggle and, to a great extent, the future of humanity. The period that has just begun is the most serious challenge to the working class since the start of World War II. It is fraught with grave danger. It offers great opportunity. Our organization must steel itself to meet a communist party's responsibilities. Despite appearances and many enormous obstacles, our class can train itself to seize power and rid the world of the profit system.

Religious Practices Jewish Calender First of all to understand Jewish holidays you have to understand Jewish time, which is different than our time schedule. Judaism teaches that time is precious and that one should cherish each and every moment of life. Jewish time expresses this through its opportunities to appreciate life and give thanks, along with its many celebrations and holidays. The Jewish year starts in September. The secular year is solar, while the Jewish year is lunar. The schedule for work and bill paying and taxes is set by the secular calendar. The Jewish calendar is used only for religious purposes. The Jewish date is also used for dating the Jewish marriage contract, the Ketubot, and to determine the anniversary of the death of a loved one. Sabbath Jewish time is centered around “Shabbat” or the Sabbath. Jewish families observe the Sabbath differently. For some families the Sabbath begins just before sunset on Friday evening and ends after sunset on Saturday. For other families Sabbath is only Friday night dinner, whenever everyone gets home and sits down together and it ends that night with dessert. Traditionally there are three “seasons” within every Shabbat. Friday night is concentrated on family. It is celebrated around a festive dinner table. Saturday is the most formal part of Shabbat. At the synagogue the concentration is on reading from the Torah. Saturday afternoon is the most relaxed part of the Sabbath. It’s a time for family and fun with no obligations. At the end of the day the prayer of separation completes Shabbat.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2001 current issue back issues subscribe A Prayer Centers Worried Worshippers in the Weighty Days of Awe Recited Morning and Evening for a Month, David's Psalm 27 Echoes Moses' Quest To See the Divine Presence By SHMUEL HERZFELD Psalm 27 Of David. (Koren Publishers Jerusalem) Ashkenazi Jews traditionally recite Psalm 27 morning and evening for an entire month before Rosh Hashana until the holiday of Hoshanah Rabbah , from the terminus ad quo to the terminus ad quem of the Days of Awe. Thus this psalm, more than any other prayer, frames the liturgical services of these days. Different reasons are suggested as a basis for this practice. The Midrash comments that 'The Lord is my light' refers to Rosh Hashana; 'My salvation' to Yom Kippur; and 'he shall hide me in his pavilion ( be'sukko )' to the holiday of Sukkot. Others find reasons embedded in the psalm itself. Some point to the unusual word lu'le , which spelled backward, is Elul, the name for the Hebrew month preceding Rosh Hashana. The Masoretes notably place dots above this word, thereby highlighting its significance and increasing its value. The word begins an elliptical verse near the psalm's end: Were it not that I believed that I should see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Bibliography Managing Editors: David Sper, Dean Ohlman Cover Photo: Tony Stone Images If observant Jewish people are right, the ancient festival cycle of Israel is a timeless source of spiritual renewal. If those who call themselves messianic believers are right, the seven holidays of God are more than mere Jewish tradition. Those who believe that the Messiah has already made an appearance believe He fulfilled the spiritual meaning of the first four feasts, leaving the three final feasts for fulfillment in the last days. Martin R. De Haan II, President of RBC Ministries Table of Contents Table of Contents With these words, the Lord of Israel established an annual cycle of holidays that are still observed in Jewish communities all over the world. Whether these communities are Orthodox, Conservative, or Reform; whether they are Russian, Yemenite, or American, these feasts form a common thread in global Jewish culture. about Jewish culture. Even though they are linked to the harvest cycle of the land of Israel, and even though the festival calendar is used to retell stories of Jewish life and origins, these holidays provide a panorama of history that has strong implications for all of the families of the earth. Seen individually and together, these feasts paint a compelling picture of the past, present, and future work of a Messiah who is the source of life, hope, and peace for all the nations of the world.

In Torah law, we find that, in certain dimensions, the majority of a quantity is considered as the totality of the quantity. Similarly, in the laws of prayer, though ten people are required for a minyan, all the prayers requiring a minyan can be recited when only six of the ten are actually praying. It is associated with the six days of creation and thus, is related to Rosh HaShanah which commemorates the creation of the world. These two factors are interrelated for Rosh HaShanah also shares a connection with the Ten Days of Teshuvah as obvious from our Sages' statement, "These are the Ten Days between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur." This implies that, in addition to the essential qualities which they possess in their own right, Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur also share in the general service of the Ten Days of Teshuvah.

Holiday Guide : Rosh Hashanah Rosh Hashanah HOLIDAY BASICS The Jewish New Year begins at sundown on the twenty-ninth day of the month of Elul, usually corresponding with the month of September or October on the Gregorian calendar. The New Year begins with a period of ten days called the Ten Days of Repentance . This period is also known as the High Holy Days . The first two of these days are called Rosh Hashanah It is the Jewish belief that there is a symbolic book in heaven in which a person's words, acts and deeds are recorded during the course of the year. On Rosh Hashanah, this book is opened and reviewed by God. Because one's "fate" is not sealed until Yom Kippur , Jewish people spend the Days of Repentance introspectively, searching for ways to become better human beings. On Erev Rosh Hashanah (the eve of Rosh Hashanah), families come together to enjoy a festive meal before or after services at the synagogue. On Rosh Hashanah it is traditional to eat a piece of challah or slice of apple dipped in honey for a "sweet New Year." When Rosh Hashanah approaches, we like to wish our friends and relatives

But I say it is very difficult to understand Biblical prophecy unless you have an understanding of the Jewish Festivals and the Jewish idioms of the first century. For example, consider 1 Cor 13:12 which says: "For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face." To the first century Jews, "face to face", was an idiom for Yom Kippur (as will be explained later in this article). The statement by Jesus that "no man knows the day or hour but only the Father," is often used as a baseball bat to beat anyone who would dare suggest a possible date for the rapture into a deathly silence. It is bantered about as the proof text that you should not even consider suggesting a possible date, but, in fact, such a stance is contrary to the whole counsel of God. What does the Bible say about looking into the time and circumstances of the Lord's return? The answer may surprise you.

It has played an important role throughout Scripture, and will play a crucial role in the days that lie ahead as we wait for the return of the Messiah. We are going to look at some of the different ways the shofar was used, what symbolic representations it took on as Jewish theology was molded, and how all of these things might apply to us today. We're going to cover: The Akedah (The Binding of Isaac) The Call to Repentance The Call to Assemble The Last Trumpet Introduction Over the last decade there has been a growing trend in churches to incorporate the shofar or ram's horn into praise and worship. This uniquely stylized trumpet has become one of the few symbols in traditional Judaism which the church has felt comfortable adopting, and rightfully so. It has a meaningful position in our biblical heritage dating all the way back to Abraham, and plays a crucial role in prophetic events as believers in Messiah listen for the "last trump."[1]

LIBRARY MINYAN DRASH PARSHAT EMOR Ronald S. Reiter, Ph.D. October 14, 2000 - First Day Sukkot Shabbat Shalom; Hag Samayach. Today's Torah reading for this first day of Sukkot is from the Parasha, Emor in Vayikra. It relates all the holy days and festivals of the year as prescribed in the Torah. In fact, it is located almost in the very center of the Chumash, which is a metaphor for how very central the holidays are in our lives. Rabbi Irving Yitz Greenberg's book, The Jewish Way, is a wonderful look at this very portion and served as my major source for preparing this talk. According to Greenberg, "The Classic method of incorporating events and theirs lessons into Jewish life is through the holidays." However, what is also very central in our lives today on this first day of Sukkot is what has been going on in the Middle East over this week. I know that it is difficult for many of you to be sitting here in shul today thinking about the Torah portions or anything else when your children and grandchildren are in Eretz Yisrael. In fact all our thoughts are on the people of Israel for your sons are our sons and your daughters are our daughters as all of the people of Israel are our family.
