tag: paraliturgical priestly blessing Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? These are a series of kavvanot prepared by Rabbi Emanuel S. Goldsmith (1935-2024), z”l, for a Shaḥarit service containing the call to prayer (Barkhu), the blessings preceding the Shema, tthe conclusion of the Amidah, before and after the Torah reading service, and Aleinu. Rabbi Ben Newman, who shared these kavvanot in eulogy for Rabbi Goldsmith in a Facebook post, writes, “My dear teacher, friend, and mentor Rabbi Dr. Emanuel Goldsmith died on Friday. He was an amazing man who taught me a lot about how to be a rabbi, a Reconstructionist, a liturgist, philosopher of religion, and Yiddishist. He also was the “head rabbi” who officiated at my wedding to Rabbi Shoshana Leis….I had him write out for me [these kavvanot] when I substituted for him leading at Congregation Mvakshe Derekh in Scarsdale, NY, 20 years ago as a student rabbi.” Categories: Before the Aliyot, Barkhu, Birkat Ahavah, Aleinu, After the Aliyot, Social Justice, Peace, and Liberty Tags: עלינו Aleinu, blessings prior to the shema, English vernacular prayer, כוונות kavvanot, paraliturgical barkhu, paraliturgical birkat ahavah, paraliturgical priestly blessing, Reconstructionist Jewry, שמע shemaŋ, Yiddish translation Contributor(s): This is a blessing written by myself and my father, Moshe Razieli in 2021.
