[ha-Safran] The meaning of טוטפות

[Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran]

Shalom,
I have very few resources at home to settle an argument on the meaning of the 
word טוטפות
in Deuteronomy Chapter 6 verses 4-10. One said that it means a box and another 
said that it is ornament (Even Shoshan) .
I said that it is neither,  it is  how it was taken literally.
Your help is appreciated,
Amalia W.

Re: [ha-Safran] Trying to ID a kids book about a wedding

Subject: [ha-Safran] Trying to ID a kids book about a wedding

 

This question was posed to AJL on our Facebook page. Does anyone know the 
answer?

 

"My daughter just got engaged and I'd like to send her a book I remember from 
at least 30 years ago--maybe much longer.

It's a children's book in which an eastern European Jew is trying to plan a 
wedding and gets input on what is the best thing to serve--pure spring water 
comes up as a good option because it's so good.

Does anyone know what I'm thinking of? Do you remember the author and title?"

[ha-Safran] Miracles happen in a pandemic when you follow your heart!

[Rayzel Raphael via Hasafran]

Last April when the pandemic hit, - and all of my wedding clients postponed 
their ceremonies- I needed to do something. I was motivated to create healing 
services, and raise money for tzedakah for Covid relief. I followed the calling 
of my heart and began to organize zoom galas on the Aleph platform.  I ended up 
hosting 5 cross denominational programs with 200- 600 participants on each! 
With helpers, I raised a lot of money; gave artists/musicians/teachers a 
platform to showcase their work; and created a forum to keep our souls 
uplifted. 

Today I’m happy to say I’m going to working more officially with Aleph as the 
Director Of Spiritual Arts  (part time) and will be curating more of these 
programs in the coming months.  It feels exciting to begin the new year with 
visioning something beautiful into being.

My intentions behind these are:
-to honor holy space and time with joy, love and spiritual meaning
-to support artists, teachers, singer songwriter, authors, clergy, 
emerging/diverse creative Jewish voices, JPOC, LGBTQ and others affected by the 
pandemic
-to raise money for non-profits at this time of need

So consider this an invitation: 
if you have ever wanted to present "your Torah" to a large audience; 
if you have books or CDs or art projects to promote; 
if you like to teach, sing or dance, do yoga/body movement;  
have a story from Jewish tradition to share; 
or just want to feel like you are part of the bigger Web of Comfort that is 
holding people’s spirits aloft during this time……

Please email me with an offering for the upcoming programs- or a Save my Name 
for the future: rray...@shechinah.com ( alternate: shechina...@verizon.net

The first event will be Saturday night September 19th, second evening of Rosh 
Hashanah… we have found that many people who attend do not have have a 
spiritual home/congregation and will need a place to feel connected.

Seeking teachers, musicians, artists, meditators, authors, astrologists, cooks, 
embodied artists, poets, and more -to help launch a sweet new year with a zoom 
offering.  
Themes for INVITING IN THE SWEETNESS: ROSH HASHANAH Content can include but not 
limited to: blessing the year, gematria interpretations of the year, 
traditional and new melodies; artistic renditions; blessings; shofar 
blowing/teaching; recipes/demonstration/seder foods; Torah vorts; what we've 
learned  this past year; teshuva, (repentence;) t’flilah(prayer); tzedakah 
(charity); Torah interpretation; how to (literally) move into the new year 
gracefully; honey and bees; kavvanot; messages to heed for the new year; 
uplifting blessings, etc.

AND SUKKOT:


The second event will be during SUKKOT SHAZOOM, Sunday evening October 4
Themes include but not limited to: joy; water/Beit ha-shoevah; harvest; 
multicultural/interfaith; shelter; sukkah torah; feasting; showcase your sukkah 
decorations; ushpizin/invited holy guests; kabbalah of sukkot; fragility, 
sitting; history of sukkah; environmentai issues; how to build a sukkah; 
rain;prayers, hoshanot rituals; lulav/etrog and more…

Please respond to 
rray...@shechinah.com 

with either SWEETNESS in the subject line or SUKKOT SHAZOOM

Blessings for the turning,
and miracles in the new year!

Rayzel

[ha-Safran] Jewish children's books on democracy and voting

[Clare Kinberg via Hasafran]

Hi Jewish librarians,

I just received a query that I'm hoping you can help me with. I am putting
together a list of books based on this query from a patron:
"I'm reaching out to see if you have any suggestions about books or other
media about Jewish people and voting - why we vote, history of Jews engaged
in voting advocacy, whatever else."

Thank you,
