Ritual Committee: submitted by Ken Turkewitz, Ritual Committee Chair
As always, in July and August our Shabbat services will be lay-led. I am looking forpeople to take responsibility for weekly Torah readings, Haftorah readings, or D’var Torahs. Please contact me and let me know what you’d like to do and for which
Shabbat. (Note: For Torah readings, you don’t need to read the entire week’s portion;
it can be split amongst several readers.
In
August, we will be putting in a group order (to get a reduced price)
for copies of
the 5771 Luach from the United Synagogue. Anyone
interested in ordering should
contact Ken Turkewitz by
August 1st.
King David’s Harp to Appear in USCJ 5771 Calendar
<> The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ) puts out an annualcalendar, including photographs accopanying each month of the calendar. The
calendar for 5771 features photographs of art and architectures from USCJ
member synagogues, sent from across the continent. It also includes candle-lighting
times for cities across North America and Jerusalem and the dates of Jewish holidays,
the Torah readings for both the annual and triennial cycle for each Shabbat for each
of the 13 months – September 2010 to September 2011 – it covers.
The 5771 calendar features Shaare Tefilah’s King David’s Harp for one of its months.
King David’s Harp is a rich, vibrant three-dimensional work of art that weaves together
the city of Jerusalem, King David’s Harp, and the Y’hi Ratzon prayer. Created
by Israeli-born artist Orna Amrani, the piece was commissioned by Judi Hershman,
Joel Hershman, and Sue Ellen Hershman-Tcherepnin with synagogue funds donated
in memory of their father Max. Amrani exquisitely incorporated themes which reflect
the Jewish values deeply held by their parents, Max and Mollie Hershman.
King
David’s Harp
hangs at Temple Shaare Tefilah in our sanctuary
(the South Area
Solomon Schechter Day School Music Room).
The
calendar should now be available. To order, email
Andrea Towers
at
Towers@uscj.org. The suggested minimum contribution is $25.
Odyssey of a Torah
As detailed in the
May HaKol, Temple Shaare Tefilah had decided to donate
its tall Torah
to the Jewish Community of Alicante Centre in Alicante,
Spain
(or Comunidad Judía de Alicante Centro, also known as Beth
Shalom). The Torah
has now been sent, has arrived, and has been
re-dedicated in Alicante.
On April 6, 1908, the Norwood Hebrew Congregation was granted a charter
from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Services were held in various
public buildings, thanks to the goodwill and hospitality of our non-Jewish
neighbors in Norwood.
Land on Washington Street was purchased in 1924 and the new synagogue,
named Temple Shaare Tefilah (Gates of Prayer) opened on Sunday,
August 30, 1925.
Take a look at the Temple history from the time that the Norwood congregation
was first organized.
Temple Shaare Tefilah is one of the oldest synagogues in the greater Boston
area, and has held continuous services for 100 years.
