		<description><![CDATA[Are the haftarot more sacred than Torah? I first began to read Torah on a triennial cycle when I was the rabbi in Victoria, British Columbia in 1975-76. At that time, there was already a little printed sheet which listed all the Torah readings divided such that the entire Torah would be read once every [...]]]></description>

We are currently learning about Hallel and read the following: “There are twelve days in the year when a flute was played [when the Levites [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m writing this on the 14th day of the Omer, malchut in g&#8217;vurah. So far, my love of this annual exercise (chesed) and my increasingly limited ability to stay focused (g&#8217;vurah) have seen me through the first two weeks with some help from Hanna Tiferet. But Hanna is back in Boston and I&#8217;m my own [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One deficiency in the current versions of Siddur Kol Koreh has been the abbreviated Hallel. Last January, since the Shabbaton in Boulder coincided with Shabbat Rosh Chodesh, I prepared an expansion of the Hallel for that part of the service led by our newly ordained Shulamit Wise Fairman. Now, in anticipation of Pesach, I’m sharing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember reading an essay written around the beginning of the 20th century in which the author proposed a new way of establishing criteria for rabbinical ordination. Until the emancipation, what Jewish young men did was to choose a rabbi or a yeshivah where they felt comfortable and whose teaching was in harmony with their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Friends, As I wrote in my first note, one of the larger projects on which I’m working is an expansion of Reb Zalman’s thoughts on t’shuvah, loosely translated either as repentance or return. It is a fundamental teaching of Hassidut that everyone should be engaged in a lifelong process of t’shuvah. What that might [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us know the Reform movement&#8217;s HaMotzi which begins “we give thanks to God for bread” and concludes with the traditional b’rachah in Hebrew and the word “amen.” I rarely sing the b’rachah itself and prefer to listen to it and then respond with an “amen.” In this way, others have said the blessing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Friends, In the fall of 2004, I had the great joy of learning together with eight rabbinical and rabbinic pastor students. We studied comparative nuscha’ot, the different ways in which the same prayers were formulated in the liturgical traditions of various Jewish communities. In the course of that study, we came upon a kaddish [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t remember whether I noticed her siddur or whether she showed it to me first, but I took an immediate liking to this Nusach S&#8217;faradi Tahor, as it was called. At some point, [...]]]></description>
