58th century A.M. —⟶ tag: 58th century A.M. Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? A desperate prayer against the dehumanization and reductive feelings of anger and desperation in the context of the conflict between Israel and Gaza in the summer of 2014. Master of compassion and forgiveness, Cosmic Majesty Who is peace— Categories: Conflicts over Sovereignty and Dispossession, Social Justice, Peace, and Liberty, 🇮🇱 Medinat Yisra'el (the State of Israel) Tags: 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict, 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., Israeli–Palestinian conflict, מדינת ישראל Medinat Yisrael, Needing Vocalization, North America, فلسطين Filasṭīn Palestine, Reconciliation Contributor(s): This paraliturgical adaptation of the El Malei prayer for an Interfaith Memorial Service for the Homeless was offered by Rabbi Victor Reinstein in 2014. A prayer for the peaceful resolution of Israel’s conflicts with her neighbors and a mutually agreeable end to her dominion over the Palestinians, in Hebrew and in English, appropriate for inserting in the Birkat HaMazon especially on Shabbat and Festivals, or for reciting at any time. Categories: Blessings After Eating, Conflicts over Sovereignty and Dispossession, 🇮🇱 Medinat Yisra'el (the State of Israel) Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., Establishing borders, HaRaḥaman, Israeli–Palestinian conflict, מדינת ישראל Medinat Yisrael, Needing Vocalization, the Occupation Contributor(s): A prayer in Hebrew and Arabic (with translations in English and German) of solidarity of mothers for there to be peace in the world for the sake of their children. Categories: Conflicts over Sovereignty and Dispossession, Social Justice, Peace, and Liberty, 🇮🇱 Yom ha-Ém (30 Shəvat), 🇺🇸 Mother's Day (2nd Sunday of May), 🌐 United Nations Day (October 24th) Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., Israeli–Palestinian conflict, מדינת ישראל Medinat Yisrael, فلسطين Filasṭīn Palestine Contributor(s): This is a simḥat bat baby-naming and welcoming ceremony, based on similar ceremonies by Dr. Devora Steinmetz and Rabbi David Silber, Rabbi Elie Kaunfer and Lisa Exler, Drs. David and Joanna Arch-Andorsky, and others. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): This is pre-Shabbos reflection that can be done in a shower or bath. Shabbat is a time when I am less focused on my selfish desires and instead my thoughts drift to my place in the larger community and world. I find myself doing some version of this before Shabbos most weeks and am welcome for the time to reflect on truly what it is to cease from lay work and consider the work that needs to be done to make the world a better place. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., all bodies, bathing ritual, English vernacular prayer, כוונות kavvanot, North America, shabbat preparation, shower ritual, תחינות teḥinot Contributor(s): Leon Gunther presents a proposal for a revision of the controversial line of the traditional Aleinu prayer, shehem mishtaḥavim l’hevel varik (“For they worship ephemera and emptiness, and pray to a god who cannot save,” a combination of Isaiah 30:7 and Isaiah 45:20). Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): I had an opening, with the help and support of some holy chevrei, to take on Binding of Isaac and accompanying meditations that occupy a conspicuous space during the morning blessings. This is what came out. A prayerbook of paraliturgical reflections on the weekday morning prayers composed for a shame resilience practice. A teḥinah (supplication) for divine help after terrible violence that interferes with the recognition of each person being made in the likeness of the divine image. After struggling with the requests in Aneinu, read during Seliḥot, I composed a list of requests and questions for this upcoming Shmitah year. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., English vernacular prayer, ḥeshbon nefesh, סליחות səliḥot, זמן תשובה Zman teshuvah Contributor(s): Two mothers, one plea: Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., candles, ארץ ישראל Erets Yisrael, Israeli–Palestinian conflict, kindling, فلسطين Filasṭīn Palestine Contributor(s): A brief liturgy for the occurrence of the winter solstice [in the Northern Hemisphere] with Ḥanukkah. Note that this is a kind of eco-liturgy, but it also stands on its own without imposing an ecological overlay. Since it’s still solstice all day, you may want to use this prayer now, or at dusk tonight. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., eco-conscious, ecoḥasid, English vernacular prayer, North America, Northampton, solstice Contributor(s): A complementary (positive vidui) to supplement the harsh communal and personal vidu’im (confessions) being offered during the Zman Teshuvah. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., acknowledgment, acrostic, Alphabetic Acrostic, Aseret Yemei Tshuvah, complementary vidui, confession, Maale Gilboa, positive self-recognition, supplemental vidui, וידוי vidui, ישראל Yisrael, זמן תשובה Zman teshuvah Contributor(s): This Haraḥaman (prayer to the merciful or compassionate One) for the Shmitah or sabbatical year can be added to Birkat Hamazon (blessing after meals) during the whole Shmitah year, in order to remember and open our hearts to the sanctity of the land. Say it right before the Haraḥaman for Shabbat, since Shmitah is the grand shabbat, and right after the paragraph beginning with Bamarom (a/k/a, Mimarom). A prayer to be recited upon donating blood. In Israel, there are major blood drives around the times of Rosh Hashana and Pesaḥ, so the prayer borrows themes from both of those holidays. It emphasizes both the tzedaka aspect of blood donation and the ancient symbolic resonances of blood sacrifice. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., blood, English Translation, giving blood, כוונות kavvanot, life giving, matanat dam, self-sacrifice, תחינות teḥinot, ישראל Yisrael Contributor(s): This Tu BiShvat haggadah focuses on healing the wounded Earth today, with passages on major policy questions facing the human race in the midst of a great climate crisis and massive extinctions of species. In each of the Four Worlds in this Haggadah (Earth, Water, Air, Fire) there are traditional, mystical, and poetical passages, and in each there are also contemporary passages on aspects of public policy (Earth: food and forest; Water: fracking; Air: climate; Fire: alternative and renewable energy sources.) These policy-oriented passages help make this a distinctive Haggadah. After these passages, this Haggadah encourages Seder participants to take time for discussion. They may also decide to omit some passages and/or add others. The desire for such a Haggadah grew from discussions of the Green Hevra, a network of Jewish environmental organizations. Thanks to Judith Belasco, Rabbi Mordechai Liebling, Sybil Sanchez, Rabbi David Seidenberg, Richard Schwartz, Rabbi David Shneyer, and Yoni Stadlin for comments on an earlier draft of this Haggadah. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., eco-conscious, four worlds, green ḥevrah, North America, Renewal Contributor(s): Haggadah Shir Ge’ulah, the Song of Liberation, is a new Haggadah for Passover. It is at once traditional and radical, featuring egalitarian Hebrew and English, full transliteration, progressive theology, and a focus on modern issues of oppression and liberation. It is my hope that this Haggadah will elicit questions from all participants, and that everyone will find something in it to challenge them: both people steeped in Jewish learning and used to traditional texts, and also people who are new to the Passover seder or are coming from different worldviews and ideologies. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): A Jewish prayer for Nakba Day, as commemorated on May 15th in the civil calendar of the Dawlat Filasṭīn. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., Children of Avraham, ארץ ישראל Erets Yisrael, Israeli Arabs, Israeli–Palestinian conflict, Israeli Palestinians, מדינת ישראל Medinat Yisrael, Needing Vocalization, فلسطين Filasṭīn Palestine, Palestinian Diapsora, Palestinian refugees Contributor(s): | ||
