Hoboken, NJ, 1992, p146. ref To this end it has incorporated the wording of Nusach Edot Mizrach, the prayer book of Sefardi Jews , into certain prayers. Nusach Sefard is used nearly universally by Hasidic Judaism Hasidim , as well as by some other Ashkenazi Jews it has not gained significant acceptance by Sephardi Jews . Each Hasidic dynasty uses its own version of the Nusach Sefard siddur, often with great divergence between different versions. Prayers and customs Some versions are nearly identical to Nusach Ashkenaz , while others come far closer to Nusach Sephardi and Mizrachi Nusachim Nusach Edot Mizrach most versions fall somewhere in between. All versions incorporate the customs of the Isaac Luria Ari . Jews who follow Nusach Sefard adopt certain Sephardi customs, such as not wearing tefillin on the middle days of Pesach and Sukkot . However they usually also observe Ashkenazi customs such as avoiding kitniyot on Pesach . The Anshei Sefard synagogues are notable for being non Hasidic synagogues that use the rite, typically the version found in Artscroll Nusach Sefard siddurim. History It is generally held that every Jew is bound to observe the mitzvot commandments of Judaism by following the customs appropriate to his or her family origin see Minhag . For this reason a number of rabbis disapprove of the adoption of Sephardic customs by Ashkenazi Jews. However, it was a common Kabbalah Kabbalistic belief that the Sephardic rite, especially in the form used by Isaac Luria , has more spiritual potency than the Ashkenazi, and that, while in general one should keep to one s minhag of origin, this rite reaches a thirteenth gate in Heaven for those who do not know their own tribe.

Biography Born in Kowel , Poland, into the Auerbach Jewish family Auerbach family of rabbis, he became rabbi of his hometown at the age of 25. In 1846, Auerbach was appointed president of the Jewish beth din beit din in Ko o , where he served for nine years. Later he moved to Kalisz , where he served as a rabbi and engaged in commerce. In his sermons, he encouraged members of his congregation to immigrate to Eretz Yisrael , to start the process of redemption. In 1858, Aurbach traveled to the Holy Land and settled in Jerusalem. His position in Poland was filled by Rabbi Chaim Elozor Wax . In Jerusalem, Auerbach found many kollel s, each working for the benefit of their own communities. There was no organization to handle general Jewish affairs, such as paying the salaries of rabbis, paying Turkish military taxes, and dealing with Turkish officials. In 1866, Rabbi Auerbach with Rabbi Shmuel Salant organized a central committee to represent the interests of all the Ashkenazim, while the Sephardi Jews Sephardim managed their affairs under the leadership of the Hakham Bashi of Jerusalem. Rulings Minhag Yerushalayim In his Sefer Hebrew sefer , Imrei Binah , Rabbi Auerbach promulgated the wedding custom known as Minhag Yerushalayim , which does not permit musical instruments to be played at a wedding in Jerusalem proper in deference to the Temple in Jerusalem Holy Temple which lies in ruins in that city.

In the edition of The Occident and American Jewish Advocate that noted the appointment, Isaac Leeser praised Kohlmeyer as a worthy individual for the position, and expressed hope that Kohlmeyer would be successful. Noted as a brilliant scholar and linguist, Rabbi Isaac Meyer Wise recommended Kohlmeyer to served on the rabbinical committee that was to examine Wise s Minhag America Reform Judaism Reform prayer book.

The term Motzei Shabbat in Judaism refers to the time in the evening immediately following Shabbat , literally Saturday night . It is a time when, following one s declaration of the intention to end Shabbat, it is permissible to resume Activities prohibited on Shabbat weekday activities that are prohibited on Shabbat . This may occur no earlier than when three star s appear in the sky , or at a fixed time that is predetermined, which varies, depending on one s geographic location and the time of year. There are three ways one can declare the end of Shabbat in order to be allowed to resume these forbidden activities Reciting Ata Chonantanu This special paragraph is added to the Amidah during Maariv on Saturday evening, and is generally recited by men to end Shabbat Reciting Baruch Hamavdil The verse Baruch Hamavdil Bain Kodesh L Chol is generally recited by women, who traditionally do not recite the Maariv prayer Havdallah Havdallah is a required ritual on Motzei Shabbat. Listening to Havdallah defines the end of Shabbat. But one who lights the Havdallah candle or else wishes to perform any activity otherwise prohibited during Shabbat must declare an end to Shabbat by one of the above two methods. It is questionable if men are permitted to end Shabbat with method 2. Nevertheless, it should only be used by a male if absolutely necessary in order to ignite a havdallah candle. The exact time in which Shabbat ends varies, depending on one s location on earth and the time of year. There are varying minhag opinions as to how much time must elapse following sunset . Regardless of location, the time that Shabbat ends, which is approximately one hour after Shabbat candles candle lighting the day before, fluctuates approximately four hours throughout the calendar year by up to 11 minutes from one week to the next or by more than an hour if the time change time has changed during the previous week .

Megillat Hashoah the Holocaust scroll presented a six chapter account of those dark days in a small booklet. Jews throughout the ages have told their stories using parchment and quills and so Sofer STaM Marc Michaels was commissioned by the former Rabbi of Brighton Synagogue to turn this booklet into a kasher scroll that could be read by the community on Yom Hashoah. Drawing on the power of the letters and scribal traditions to create a visual Midrash that adds further depth and meaning to the text, the scroll has been turned into a tikkun a copyists guide explaining the journey of the booklet to scroll and detailing the rules so that scribes over the world may create scrolls. The book describes a fascinating journey on the creation of a the first new tikkun in thousands of years and hopefully the establishment of a new minhag to help ensure that the Shoah is remembered for all generations The Tikkun Megillat Hashoah was written by Marc Michaels, Sofer STaM with the authorisation of the Rabbinic Assembly and the Schecter Institute.

Teshuva Judaism Tashlikh lang he , meaning casting off is a long standing Judaism Jewish minhag practice usually performed on the afternoon of Rosh Hashanah , the Jew ish New Year , however it can be said up until Hoshana Rabbah . The previous year s sins are symbolically cast off by reciting a section from Micah that makes allusions to the symbolic casting off of sins, into a large, natural body of flowing water such as a river , lake , sea or ocean . The name Tashlikh and the practice itself are derived from the Hebrew Bible Biblical passage bibleverse lb Micah 7 18 20 HE recited at the ceremony You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Origin of the custom Maharil Most Jewish sources trace the custom back to Rabbi Jacob M lin Germany, d. 1425 in his Sefer Maharil . Some clues as to an earlier origin are Josephus Antiquities 14 10, 23 refers to the decree of the Halicarnassians permitting Jews to perform their holy rites according to the Jewish laws and to have their places of prayer by the sea, according to the customs of their forefathers . The Zohar , the most important book of Jewish mysticism, states that whatever falls into the deep is lost forever ... it acts like the scapegoat for the ablution of sins Zohar, Vayikra 101a,b . Some hold that this is referring to tashlikh . The first direct reference to tashlikh is by Rabbi Jacob M lin in Sefer Maharil where he explains the minhag custom as a reminder of the binding of Isaac . He recounts a rabbinic midrash about the binding in which Satan , by throwing himself across Abraham s path in the form of a deep stream, endeavored to prevent him from sacrificing Isaac on Moriah Mount Moriah . Abraham and Isaac nevertheless plunged into the river up to their necks and prayed for divine aid, whereupon the river disappeared.

Furthermore, the Talmud , Rosh Hashanah Talmud Tractate Rosh Hashanah 4b mentions that Shemini Atzeret is a separate holiday unto itself in respect to six specific halakha halakhic issues, but is considered the eighth day of an eight day holiday regarding a seventh and sixth days. There is a dispute amongst the commentaries regarding what those six issues are. Since the Sukkah and, by extension, pleasant weather is no longer required, Jews begin to ask for rain during the Geshem prayer, which is recited in a distinctive plaintive melody during the cantor s repetition of the Musaf Amidah .
