Bar/Bat Mitzvah Handbook Download Your journey begins the year you turn 10 by choosing a date to stand on the bimah as you become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah at age 13. Throughout the next few years leading up to the actual service, you and your family will attend family learning sessions and informational meetings with other families going through the B'nai Mitzvah process, and personal family meetings with the Rabbi officiating the service. Seven months prior to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah date, students begin weekly meetings with their Cantor and weekly meetings with their tutor. During these meetings, the student will prepare all blessings, prayers, Torah, Haftarah, and English readings. Six weeks preceding the Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the student must attend special sessions with a Rabbi to learn the significance of their Torah portion and to prepare the D'Var Torah. Meetings with the clergy are essential for the student's preparation. Please be sure to download the BM Handbook … [Read more...]

Music That Moves You
Most of us are connected to a piece of music, or a melody, secular or religious that moves us to a different time and place. The melodies we hear on the High Holy Days are thick with meaning and tradition. Many of us have sung and prayed to these tunes for most of our lives. This year’s high holy days, without some of our most favorite tunes and missing the majestic depth of our choir, will certainly prove very different. I promise they will still be as meaningful and beautiful as ever! COVID-19 may have impeded in person choral singing, but we are not deterred. Coming to you in several Facebook Live presentations, on Instagram and on our website, are five incredible collaborations. Mah Tovu, Elohai N’tzor, and Sim Shalom are three of our most beloved choral settings at Temple Emanu-El. The textured harmonies add a sense of uplift, inspiration and an aura of drama and profound meaning to our high holy day prayers. Led by our fearless conductor Melissa Fontaine, guided by the … [Read more...]
A Historic Week
Passover is weeks away, and many of us have started to make preparations to gather and share our central story of our Exodus from Egypt. (If you would like to join us for 2nd night seder, register HERE.) In Torah times, this preparation would include a journey to our nation’s capital, Jerusalem. From the four corners of Israel, our people would travel by foot to bring their sacrifices to The Temple, where they would be received by the Levite priests. Accounts of this sojourn (taken three times a year, at Passover, Shavuot and Sukhot) relay that although our ancestors were mindful that it was for a serious purpose, there also was very much an element of celebration that would occur once they were in Jerusalem. We can picture it: a city with people, tons of catching up with old friends, and meeting lots of good people who were very much like you. Last week a group of about 30 Temple Emanu-El congregants made a similar journey to our nation’s capital in Washington, DC. We were there … [Read more...]
Take Me Up from Egypt, I Have No Other Land
In the final Torah portion of the Book of Genesis, Jacob (aka Israel) delivers an ethical will to his children. Jacob's first request was to be returned to his homeland, the Land of Israel when his descendants left Egypt. This isn't the first nor the last instance of our people's connection to the land that God promised Abraham. When we describe the Jewish connection to the modern-day State of Israel, we look back 3000 years to a story like Jacob's. In life and death, our people turn toward Israel. Over the last 80+ days, we have heard wave after wave of antisemitic rhetoric that tries to displace us or divorce us from our homeland, but our Torah portion this week reminds us of our eternal connection to the Land. Jacob's insistence to return to his birthplace, even in death, reminds me of a classic Israeli song, "I Have No Other Land." The great musician Ehud Manor wrote these words in June of 1982, and it became a hit in 1986. Since then, the song has become an anthem for Jews and … [Read more...]
