Jewish siddur

The Siddur (Jewish prayer book) is the result of more than 1800 years of evolution and development, and it continues to change in our times. In this new session, we will explore the composition of the Amidah and the sources of its interconnected prayers. The Amidah is the core of every Jewish service, and is therefore referred to as HaTefilla, “The Prayer.” What are the origins of the Amidah and why does it play such a central role in our worship?Additionally, the siddur is so much more than a script for communal prayer. With this in mind, delve into the siddur’s unique place as a guide to our home practices, a handbook for expressing wonder and gratitude for the natural world, as well as explore other applications. The event listed here is hosted by a third party. My Jewish Learning/70 Faces Media is not responsible for its content or for errors in the listing.

Congregation Shearith Israel’s Hazzan Itzhak Zhrebker, Noah Rosenfeld and Rabbi Adam Roffman on the occasion of Noah’s 2019 bar mitzvahItzhak Zhrebker has filled hearts with YiddishkeitBy Deb Silverthorn One of the highest notes of our community will be honored as the Small-Waldman-Cohen 2021-2022 Signature Series celebrates Hazzan Itzhak Zhrebker’s 25th anniversary — plus one — at Congregation Shearith Israel at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, May 22, at the synagogue. The evening will feature cocktails, heavy hors d’oeuvres, desserts and dancing with Downtown Fever, an Emerald City Band.Zhrebker’s service to Congregation Shearith Israel began in 1996, his only congregation since immigrating to the United States.“Our people’s music, our prayers and our connection to Hashem — it has always been within me,” said Itzhak, born in Khmelnytskyi, in Western Ukraine, the son of Nachum and Chaya Nechama — they of blessed memory — and the brother of Fonya. Before arriving in Dallas, he was a clergy member in Tel Aviv and he participated in the training program at the Great Synagogue of Jerusalem.

Gorbachev.“There were no synagogues before World War II, there was no Jewish education and all we knew was the Yiddish our parents spoke,” said Zhrebker, who speaks his native Ukrainian, Russian, Yiddish, Hebrew and English. “The only heritage we had was on our passport.“My first siddur and Tanakh came in 1987 from Rabbi Martin Cohen visiting from Vancouver, Canada. I’d never seen or known of cantorial music but the concert was sold out,” he said. “The rabbi heard me sing and said I should go to cantorial school. Although he arranged for me to attend the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, I couldn’t leave my family.”A year later, Zhrebker met Cantor Louis Danto, a Holocaust survivor from Poland; Danto was then
