The Multicultural Jew: Women, Tefillin and Jewish Prayer
http://multiculturaljew.blogspot.com/2012/10/women-tefillin-and-jewish-prayer_23.html
Tuesday, October 23, 2012. Women, Tefillin and Jewish Prayer. I’ve been thinking about kavanah. Recently. It’s probably not an odd word to mull over, given we’ve just celebrated Rosh Hashanah, observed Yom Kippur and have just received the Torah for 5773 CE. According to the Ben-Yehuda Hebrew/English dictionary, kavanah translates as intent, purpose, devotion or meaning. It hales from the same Hebrew root as kohnen ( כּוֹנֵן. Which means to build or to establish; nachonut ( נְכוֹנוּת. A friend once told ...

The Multicultural Jew: The Jews of Argentina: Templo Libertad, Buenos Aires
http://multiculturaljew.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-jews-of-argentina-templo-libertad.html
Thursday, April 25, 2013. The Jews of Argentina: Templo Libertad, Buenos Aires. Photo by Active Steve. It’s often been said that if you want to understand the Jewish spirit, look to Israel. But it seems to me, that if you want to understand the history of global Jewish migration, and the heart that drives it, it’s Argentina. That holds those secrets. In fact, the Congregación Israelita de la Republica Argentina. 8220;The history of Argentinean Jewry begins with a legend,” notes the website for Temp...

The Multicultural Jew: The Evolving Face of Jewish Identity
http://multiculturaljew.blogspot.com/2011/10/why-would-someone-want-to-be-jew.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. The Evolving Face of Jewish Identity. The question of who is a Jew is the seminal issue of debate these days, and will likely continue to be argued in Knesset and Jewish living rooms for years to come, if not forever. The question that often receives much less attention (at times to the point of being ignored), yet has just as profound impact on the future of the Jewish people is what makes one want to be a Jew? Bnei Menashe synagogue - Zeeweez. It interesting that these self-pr...

Hanukkah seems like an odd time to contemplate the fate of the Jewish people, yet each year at this time I find myself caught up in questions about our true role in the world. Posted by Jan Lee.

The Multicultural Jew: Women of the Wall: Latest Developments
http://multiculturaljew.blogspot.com/2013/05/women-of-wall-latest-developments.html
Monday, May 6, 2013. Women of the Wall: Latest Developments. Please be sure to read the latest update that came out just after this posting. The air has been a bit lighter for supporters of the Jerusalem-based Women of the Wall. Last month Israeli courts ruled. That women who attend services at the women’s section of the Kotel are not breaking the law, and that those who were arrested by Jerusalem police on April 11 for wearing tallisim should never have been detained. Well, maybe. Even though the at...

The Multicultural Jew: Ethiopia's Falash Mura: The Ongoing Struggle for a Jewish Home

Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Ethiopia's Falash Mura: The Ongoing Struggle for a Jewish Home. Zera Israel community, Gondar, Ethiopia. Photo by Vanessa. For most communities, this Rosh Hashanah, like every Jewish New Year, was a time of celebration. The beginning of 5774 was a time for recognizing the opportunities for change, for rebuking old ways and for seeking enrichment. It was a time for sweetness, and appreciating the better qualities of our fellow Jews. A new immigrant (2009) The Jewish Agency.

The Multicultural Jew: In Defiance and Faith: Lighting the Hanukkah Candles in Public
http://multiculturaljew.blogspot.com/2012/12/in-defiance-and-faith-lighting-hanukkah.html
Friday, December 14, 2012. In Defiance and Faith: Lighting the Hanukkah Candles in Public. Even when there has been evidence of anti-Semitism in the community, Jews have fulfilled this mitzvah. Nor has the ritual changed much over the years. According to Professor Moshe Benovitz, during the Talmudic period the candles were traditionally lit outside one’s home. Benovitz notes in his paper (to be found in Menachem Mendel's blog post of the same name),. Hanukkah: Holiday of Hearth and Home. It goes on to ex...

Thursday, April 18, 2013. Women of the Wall and Diversity at the Kotel. Women's Section at Kotel - Photo by Silversteinb. For many Jews in the Western Hemisphere, the beginning of a new month on the Hebrew calendar. Occurs with little fanfare. We may learn of its passage at synagogue as we’re participating in Jewish prayers. So it is often difficult to understand in these modern times, how the change of a single date could, with one chosen action, get someone arrested. Photo by Michal Patelle. Their effo...
