2023 —⟶ Page 3 This prayer/poem [‘Call of the Shema’] came out of Rabbi Greene’s (Rabbi of Cong. Har Hashem in Boulder, Colarado) sermon this past Friday and our Torah Study discussion Saturday morning on Parashat Eikev. . . . Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., English vernacular prayer, כוונות kavvanot, Prayers as poems, שמע shemaŋ Contributor(s): While we focus on the Temple’s destruction and all that is related to the ninth of Av I believe that our internal work reflects how we see and perceive the external. . . . Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): This is an original piyyut, inspired by the structure of the beloved Yom Kippur Ne’ilah piyyut El Nora ‘Alila. In the era of the Sanhedrin, every fast day would have a Ne’ilah service between Minḥa and the conclusion of the fast. While these are no longer in practice for any days other than Yom Kippur, the editor personally feels like it could be worth bringing them back. As part of this idea, this piyyut is meant to be sung after the end of Tishah b’Av mincha but before the fast ends, as we prepare for the weeks of comfort. It is expressly *not* a qinah. . . .

Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): Former students felt the need for a special prayer for peace in the State of Israel in her present condition. I wrote this prayer yesterday (the eve of 7th Av 5783) and I felt as if I was praying while I wrote it. Students and friends, please send your constructive criticism. The prayer is for you to use on Tishah b’Av, on Shabbatot and in synagogues or in any other context. . . . A mi sheberakh prayer for the preservation of democracy in the face of the judicial reforms of the 37th government of the State of Israel. . . . “A Jerusalem Prayer” by Rabbi Menachem Creditor was shared by the author via the Open Siddur Project discussion group on Facebook, 3 February 2023. . . .

This invocation was offered by Rabbi Arnold Resnicoff at a dinner celebrating the commissioning of the USS Carl M. Levin on Friday night, 23 June 2023. . . . I find it important to remind myself, when there is an opportunity to do so in Jewish liturgy, that there are six matriarchs of the children of Israel recognized together as the “shesh imahot” in rabbinic sources: Sarah, Rivqah, Leah, Raḥel, Bilhah, and Zilpah. This is important to me because it is important to recognize that while the Jewish people are famously endogamous, we must also remain open, honest, and respectful of our ancestors who connected to our people through exogamous relationships. . . . This mi sheberakh prayer, “Farewell to Rabbinic Intern,” was written by Hayyim Obadyah and shared via the Open Siddur Project discussion group on Facebook. . . . Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): An ecstatic psalm envisioning the eventual victory of Humanity over Death itself – the ultimate Victory Day. Although the primary focus is on our ending of the process of biological death, it also touches on the Resurrection of those who have fallen, as well as the defeat of the ultimate Death – that of the Universe itself. . . . Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., death, ecstatic, Grief, Medicine, מזמור Mizmor, משיח Moshiaḥ, resurrection, technology, thanksgiving, transhumanism Contributor(s): A “Mi Sheberakh” prayer for someone who completed public chanting of the entire Torah over the course of thirty years. It takes inspiration from the standard Mi Sheberakh for an aliyah, the “hadran” ritual for a siyyum, and quotes Exodus 24:7. . . . Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): “תפילה נוכח הרעה מדרום | Prayer in the face of the Missiles Falling On Israel” was shared by the Masorti Movement in Israel via their social media account on Twitter on 12 May 2023. . . . “This Shall Not Continue: A Prayer to End Gun Violence” by Rabbi Menachem Creditor was shared on 30 April 2023 via the Open Siddur Project discussion group on Facebook. . . . Categories: Tags: 2023 Bowdoin–Yarmouth shootings, 2023 Cleveland Texas shooting, 2023 Dadeville shooting, 2023 Half Moon Bay shootings, 2023 Louisville bank shooting, 2023 Michigan State University shooting, 2023 Monterey Park shooting, 2023 Nashville school shooting, 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., American Jewry of the United States, United States Contributor(s): The Prayer for the Monarch included in the “Prayers of Thanksgiving and Supplication to Mark the Coronation of their Majesties King Charles Ⅲ and Queen Camilla, Shabbat 6th May, 2023 (15 Iyar, 5783)” as circulated via PDF. . . . The thirtieth chapter of Jeremiah is exceedingly appropriate for Yom ha-Atsma’ut, considering its emphasis on returning from exile and the importance of self-rule. It strikes me as one of the most Zionist (with a capital Z) chapters in the entirety of Neviïm. . . . | ||
