I have not yet decided on the financial charge for our class this second semester, but will let you know on shabbat.
Correction by the way on the information I gave you last shabbat. I will be out of town on the week-end of the 16th, so we will next be meeting on shabbat, the 23rd of February.
Here are your assignments:
Work on the first TWO chapters in the Torah chanting book. The best way to do this is fifteen minutes or more a day, five or six days a week. If you do this, you cannot fail.
Also, in siddur audio at sidduraudio.com, work on two things. In the Saturday/Shabbat Morning Service section, work on the following:
- The Amidah - Part 1 - which is somewhat familiar to you from our services
- The Ashrei - which comes just before returning the Torah
Check in here a couple of times this week for updates.
Shavua Tov!

Shalom Stuart,
This is Richard and Marsha.
I suggest that the class works together with you on your book,
"I Am the Door; Yeshua and Jewish Life-Entrance Not Exit."
In the next module, the class will be learining to do the liturgy. Why shouldn't the class incorportate learning the liturgy with working together with you on your book? What was the liturgy that Yehsua and the first century disciples performed? What are the similarities and differences between the Jewish liturgy in the first century CE and the late 20th and early 21st centuries CE? How much has the liturgy changed between the first and 21 centuries?
What does the liturgy teach us about Ha Shem's holiness? What impact should the liturgy have on our ethics and morality?
Does the liturgy have any theological and eschatological meaining and purpose?

Shalom Rabbi,
This is Marsha. I have been using the Stone Edition of the prayer book when I pray in the morining and evening.
Do you have any books that I can borrow that would help me with my personal prayer life.
Thank you.

I do not understand some of the ruling in Parshah 18: Mishpatim.
Exodus 21:4 "But if a master gave him, i.e. a Hebrew slave a wife, and she boe him sons or daughters, then the wife and her children will belong to her master, and he will leave by himself."
a. Why was the Hebrew master allowed to keep the man's wife and children when the Hebrew slave obtained his freedom? The Hebrew master's retention of his former slave's wife and children would break up his family.
Exodus 21:7 "If a man sells his daughter as a slave, she is not to go free like thye men slaves?"
a. Why did the Torah permit a man to sell his daughter and not his son as a slave?

Shalom Rabbi,
This is Marsha. I am reading To Pray as a Jew by Hayim Halevy Donin. It is a grreat source of information about personal and communal prayer and prayer in the synagogue.
What does the workd "Kavanah" mean?
I am so happy to see the blog up and running again.
As far as kick-offs go; I could not have asked for a better lesson plan.
I was going to come online, and offer a challenge to myself, and anyone who would like to join me in learning the Amidah...lo-and-behold, Stuart beat me to the punch. I am "pleased as punch" to see this as part of the curriculum.
So, I have decided to not only be able to chant the Amidah, but to also know what I am chanting...so if anyone would like to join me in this challenge. I am prepared to be able to chant the Amidah and know the words I am speaking in Hebrew by the end of the month.(lofty but obtainable)
Anyone interested in learning with me, please let me know...I have a few links that have tools to help us outside of sidduraudio.com.
Blessings to all.
woo hoo.
what Torah chanting book are you speaking of?

Hi everyone!
I am recovering from a really bad case of the flu and have really appreciated everyone's prayers.
It will be great to be in class again. Tyler, what other information do you have? Can you post it here?
Well,
I have copies of the Amidah in parts...with the english underneath each word in Hebrew.
I cannot really post it here...but I can bring copies to Shul.
I will also bring copies of the Siddur portions on CD

Tyler,
When and how would we meet to join you in chanting the Amidah and the Ashrei Psalms?
On behlf of the class, I want to take time to thank you for producing the CDs for the Amidah and Ahrei Psalms.
