Musical Settings: Shalom Rav
The Shalom Rav prayer comes at the end of the evening Shabbat Amidah, and like its correspondent prayer in the morning service, Sim Shalom, is a benediction asking for peace.
Musical Settings: L’cha Dodi
As we learned from Rabbi Sarason, L’cha Dodi dates back to the 16th century Safed.
Musical Settings: Sim Shalom
Sim Shalom , the closing morning supplication for peace in the Amidah, captures the imagination of Jewish composers and congregants alike. Reform Jewish ideals and worship praxis enable musical settings of Sim Shalom to burgeon.
Sukkot and Simchat Torah Social Justice Guide
As a people with agricultural roots, Jews have found many ways to mark the seasonal and environmental changes that occur throughout the year. Sukkot has numerous other themes and areas of focus that encompass seasonal, historical, and theological perspectives. It is among the festivals that fall in the Hebrew month of Tishrei, emphasizing not only the cycles of the earth, but also the cycles of Jewish life. (The other holidays in Tishrei are Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, and Simchat Torah.)
