20th century C.E. —⟶ tag: 20th century C.E. Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? A supplication of a woman cutting her hair as an act of tsanua, per a contemporary custom in many Ḥaredi communities. Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 58th century A.M., hair, hair-cutting, Jewish Women's Prayers, Needing citation references, תחינות teḥinot Contributor(s): The Opening Prayer given in the U.S. House of Representatives on 11 July 2000. Categories: Tags: 106th Congress, 20th century C.E., 58th century A.M., English vernacular prayer, U.S. House of Representatives, Prayers of Guest Chaplains, תחינות teḥinot Contributor(s): What the Rabbis taught about teaching and learning was that all Torah study should begin and end with blessings, just as eating does. Often, in liberal Jewish circles today, these blessings are not done. But without them, it is easier for Torah study to feel like a mere academic discussion, devoid of spirit. And where the blessings are said but only by rote, it is easier for Torah study to feel merely antiquarian and automatic. In Jewish-renewal style, how can we bring new kavvanah — spiritual meaning, intention, focus, intensity — to these blessings — and therefore to the process of Torah study itself? Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 58th century A.M., Aleph, ברכות brakhot, communal, English vernacular prayer, קדיש דרבנן Ḳaddish D'Rabanan, North America, participatory, Renewal, talmud torah Contributor(s): As we move not just toward a new “year” (shanah) but toward a moment when repetition (sheni) becomes transformation (shinui), I hope we will remember the roots of Jewish renewal in the upheavals of the 1960s as well as the upheavals of the 1760s, the roots of Judaism in the great “political” speeches of the Prophets, and the teachings of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who said that in a great civil rights march his legs were praying, and who argued again and again that “spirituality” and “politics” cannot be severed. As Heschel also said, “Prayer is meaningless unless it is subversive.” Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 58th century A.M., interpretive translation, Isaiah, Isaiah 57, Isaiah 58, Jewish Renewal, liberation, Midrashic interpretation Contributor(s): According to Mishnah Pesaḥim 10:4, “One expounds (doresh) from ‘A wandering Aramean was my father’ (Deuteronomy 26:5) until he finishes the whole story.” This supplement to Maggid, the verse Deuteronomy 26:9 and its midrash, fulfills the obligation. The verse and its midrash fit into the Passover Haggadah after the ten plagues and the midrash on them, right before the song Dayyenu. Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 58th century A.M., ארץ ישראל Erets Yisrael, haggadah supplements, post-exilic, Religious Zionism Contributor(s): The Ḳaddish d’Rabanan, in Hebrew with English translation by Everett Fox after Franz Rosenzweig.

Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): Rabbi Yosi son of Rabbi Yehuda says: “Three good sustainers arose for Israel. These are they: Moses and Aaron and Miriam. And three good gifts were given because of them, and these are they: well, and cloud, and manna. The well was given in merit of Miriam… Miriam died and the well ceased, as it is written (Numbers 20:1-2) “And Miriam died there,” and it says right afterwards “and there was no water for the community.” Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 58th century A.M., haggadah supplements, In the merit of Miriam, סגולות segulot, סימנים simanim, water, water is life, water protectors Contributor(s): Why is this coffee different from all other coffees? Because Maxwell House coffee is a deeply spiritual representation of the Diaspora experience.
