MRJ Readings for Brotherhood Shabbat

[Note: This revised version of MRJ- Brotherhood Shabbat; Additional Readings was compiled by MRJ Vice President Steve Chesin from numerous sources. Several of the readings appeared as well in the original version that was prepared by then Rabbinic Intern Victor S. Appell. Every effort has been made to identify and acknowledge original sources and we would ask that you cite the originals as well when you copy selected readings. If errors or omissions have been made, we apologize and they will be corrected in updated versions. – Doug Barden, MRJ Executive Director]

As some readings are especially appropriate at specific places in your service we have recommended where they should be read. Select and customize your service to meet your needs.

(“●” are suggested places based on the order of the service)

● Introductions & Meditations- Welcoming the congregation; why the brotherhood is doing this service; what it hopes to accomplish; prelude to prayer.

*****

Welcome to the Brotherhood Shabbat. We have taken pride and pleasure in preparing this Shabbat service. We have been enriched by this process and it is our hope that you will find meaning in this service.

Brotherhood Shabbat is not only an opportunity for us to give something to the congregation; it is an opportunity for us to explore who we are. Brotherhood affords us a unique forum to be who we are - Jewish men. Being a part of Brotherhood has added much to our lives, allowing us to deepen our commitments to each other, our community, to Judaism, to God. Through worship, we give voice to this and tonight we share that voice with you. Shabbat Shalom. [NFTB Brotherhood Shabbat]

*****

Rabbi Chayim ofTsanz used to tell this parable: A man, wandering lost in

the forest for several days, finally encountered another. He called out:

Brother, show me the way out of this forest! The man replied: Brother, I

too am lost. I can only tell you this: the ways I have tried lead nowhere;

they have only led me astray. Take my hand, and let us search for the way

together. Rabbi Chayim would add: So it is with us. When we go our

separate ways, we may go astray; let us join hands and look for the way

together. [Gates of Prayer, pp. 349-350]

*****

How good it is, and how pleasant, when people dwell together in unity. [Psalm 133:1]

*****

We gather tonight with friends and family to welcome Shabbat. And as we do on Shabbat, we step back from the restlessness of our daily occupations, from the frenzied pursuit of success, and take sightings on our course through life. Tonight, we acknowledge our essential interdependence with our fellow human beings, that to sustain life, we must live together in society and work together if we are to realize our aspirations of a rational and spiritual life. We further acknowledge that this principle has meaning only to the extent that we enforce it in our own lives. Concepts of equality, justice, and dignity are sterile unless they are brought to life in our daily confrontations with each other. To insure the dignity of our lives, we must reach out to touch and demonstrate our concerns by deeds. [Brotherhood of Temple Israel of Jamaica]

*****

There is holiness when we strive to be true to the best we know.There is holiness when we are kind to someone who cannot possibly be of

service to us.

There is holiness when we promote family harmony.

There is holiness when we forget what divides us and remember what unites

us.

There is holiness when we are willing to be laughed at for what we believe.

There is holiness when we love—truly, honestly, and unselfishly.

There is holiness when we remember the lonely and bring cheer to a dark

corner.

There is holiness when we share—our bread, our ideas, and our enthusiasm.

There is holiness when we gather together to reach God through prayer.

[Sidney Greenberg [adapted]

*****

On Shabbat eve, I begin my prayers bemoaning the lack of holiness in my life.

I look to God to help me find my path, to guide me in doing my part

to make the world a better place.

In reaching out to God, I become aware of the divine potential within me,

from which I can draw life, purpose and strength.

For God is present in each of us

if we would open our hearts, minds and eyes.

May I, on this day and every day, help make firm our fragile world

built on hopes and promises.

Even as I look to the future, so do I give thanks for the good I have known, for the blessings that have been given me, for the blessings I have given, for the opportunity to serve God and all creation.

I will conclude my Shabbat prayers with gratitude for all that is holy in my life,

but let there be no end to my search for holiness, this day and every day.

[Mark Lefkowitz z’ll -Temple Shalom-Cedar Grove, NJ]

[The following two readings speak to the realities of our lives. Our weeks are often much too hectic. Shabbat can be a gift of time and peace for us.

The second reading, by reminding us of a dark moment, urges us to strive to be our brother’s keeper, and to hear the voice of God]

*****

For six days, I have been a warrior. Like David I went to battle against giants. Only my battles were waged with other commuters on the road, and with my competitors, and even with my customers. I led an army of subordinates and we reported to four-star bosses.

For six evenings, I have been a warrior. The battles rage on in my own camp. Only now I found myself fighting bills and chores. I was losing the battle against time.

Finally, a truce has been called. Its name is Shabbat and it has arrived not a moment too soon. The noise of the war of life has dimmed. Calmness is settling in around me, and perhaps I will calm down before this Shabbat is over. God, over this Shabbat, allow me to make peace with my giants, and with myself.

[Rabbi Victor S. Appell]

*****

On this Brotherhood Shabbat, we enter this sanctuary to unite in worship. We come unto You, O God, ever mindful that You have created all people.

And Cain spoke unto Abel his brother. And it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and slew him. And God said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” And he said, “I know not; am I my brother’s keeper?”

We pray as our ancestors before us, that God will give guidance to our minds and hearts, as we seek by our acts of daily living to answer the eternal question: Am I my brother’s keeper? Yes, I am my brother’s keeper.

Through our prayers, we can bring God near to us. We can come to understand God’s role in the universe and we can be led to live in such a way that all people will know that God is one. May our endeavors, our study, our prayer, our interactions, help us to achieve these goals. [Brotherhood, Temple Israel of Jamaica]

*****

The philosopher, Henry David Thoreau, has posed these questions:

Did you ever hear of a manwho has striven all his life

faithfully toward an object

and in no measure obtained it?

If a man constantly aspires,

is he not elevated?

Did ever a man try heroism,generosity, truth, sincerity,

and find that there was no advantage in them-

that it was a vain endeavor?

*****

Adonai, our God, tonight we celebrate the menwho constitute our Brotherhood.

We acknowledge their tireless service to our community,

We pay tribute to their commitment to our heritage.

We honor their love of their families,

And we celebrate their unique spirituality

and humble reverence of the sacred in their lives.

May their heroism, generosity, truth and sincerity

Continue to enrich the life of our beloved

Temple forevermore. Amen. [ Ohef Shalom Brotherhood Shabbat-Norfolk, VA]

The week has been long and at times the work has been hard.

There were business associates who wanted more than we could give.

There were those who asked for more than they had a right to ask for.

We felt our control falter and sway. It has not been easy.

God tells as we are holy.

God commands us to be holy.

While it has not been easy, God has given us Shabbat.

Shabbat offers us the opportunity

to free ourselves from the daily turmoil and look within,

to realize the holiness that exists in each and in our world.

This night's Shabbat is special for Brotherhood

We have the opportunity to show

the sacredness and spirituality within each of us.

Although we do not often express it in words, as we will tonight,

never-the-less, we feel it. And more importantly, our Brotherhood members

demonstrate it through our actions all year long.

Through our worship tonight, we give voice to this, and, together, we share that voice with you, our community. Amen. [Ohef Shalom Brotherhood–Norfolk, VA]

● Welcoming Shabbat- how do we make Shabbat something special?

*****

There are days

when we seek things for ourselves and measure failure by,

what we do not gain.

On the Shabbat

we seek not to acquire but to share.

There are days

when we exploit nature as if it were a horn of plenty that can

never be exhausted.

On the Shabbat

we stand in wonder before the mystery of creation.

There are days

when we act as if we cared nothing for the rights of others.

On the Sabbath

we are reminded that justice is our duty and a better world our goal.

Therefore we welcome Shabbat –

Day of rest,

day of wonder,

day of peace.

[ Gates of Prayer-page 177-178]

· Psalms - select from Gates of Prayer or Mishkan T’filah which ones you think are appropriate for this evening. The traditional Psalms of Shabbat are Psalm 95 thru Psalm 99 and Psalm 29. Just as the ba’al teki’ah, the shofar blower, stood at the southwest corner of the Temple Mount, at the Beit Teki’ah, Psalms 95 thru 99 call the people, and all of nature, to worship, and to acknowledge the sovereignty of the Eternal in the universe.

*****

Sing a new song to God, for God has done wonders;

Who has made divine might known,

Whose justice has been revealed for all to see.

Who remembered love for Jacob,

faithfulness to Israel.

All the ends of the earth have seen the power of God.

Let the earth ring out in song to God;

break forth, sing aloud, shout praise!

Sound trumpet and horn

before the Sovereign God.

Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;

the world and all who dwell there.

Let the rivers clap hands!

Let all the mountains sing for joy before God.

For God comes to rule the earth:

God will rule the world with justice,

and the peoples with integrity.

[From Psalm 98]

● Bara'chu (May use the following readings as a prelude, following Chatzi Kaddish)

*****

…”Come out,” He called

“And stand on the mountain before the Eternal.”

And lo, the Eternal passed by.

There was a great and mighty wind,

Splitting mountains and shattering rocks

By the power of the Eternal;

But the Eternal was not in the wind.

After the wind--an earthquake;

But the Eternal was not in the earthquake.

After the earthquake—fire;

But the Eternal was not in the fire.

“And after the fire—kol d’mama d’kah;

A still, small voice.”

[I Kings 19]

*****

What Makes a Fire Burnis space between the logs,

a breathing space.

Too much of a good thing,

too many logs

packed in too tight

can douse the flames

almost as surely

as a pail of water would.

So building fires

requires attention

to the spaces in between,

as much as to the wood.

When we are able to build

open spaces

in the same way we have learned

to pile on the logs,

then we can come to see how

it is fuel, and absence of fuel

together, that makes the fire possible.

We only need to lay a log

lightly from time to time.

A fire grows

simply because the space is there,

with openings in which the flame

that knows just how it wants to

burn can find its way. [Mishkan T’filah pg 225]

● V’ ahavta - Loving God

The V 'ahavta is a continuation of the Shema, and is found in Deuteronomy 6:5-9.

****

The Chassidic master. Rabbi Sincah Bunam of P'schis'cha, said of someone who urged his children to study although he studied very little himself: "We can assume that his children will not become scholars, because their father did not set an example. But at least we can be sure that they will urge their children to study."

The moment we transcend our own egos and identify ourselves with one other person we are on the way toward God.

The path to the love of God is through the love of others; I do not love God until I love my neighbor as myself.

Jewish faith unites mind and heart. Even as my mind seeks to understand life's meaning, so may my life show love for all created things.

We do not teach our children by words alone: May I make my life and actions into good teachings, for in my conduct I must exemplify Torah

Let my home glow with the beauty of our heritage. Let my doors be opened wide to wisdom and to righteousness.

[Brotherhood Siddur, Temple Beth Orr Brotherhood Coral Springs, FL]

● Emet ve Emunah: Search for redemption

*****

These quiet moments of Shabbat open my soul. Blessed with another week of life, Igive thanks to the Eternal who creates and sustains us.

For all the good I have known during the days that have passed, I am very grateful. I

know I have not always responded with my best effort, but often I did earnestly try. I

have tried to give my family love and devotion, and I pray that I may grow more

loving as the years pass.

Even as I regret my weakness, I rejoice in my accomplishments. Let these achievements, O God, lead to many others. May I be blessed on each Shabbat with the sense of having grown in goodness and compassion. There have been times when I endeavored to help those in need. Now I ask only that I may be able to do yet more. Let my actions testify to my worth as Your partner in creation; more and more let me find my life's meaning in working with others to bless our lives by making this a better world.

[Mark Lefkowitz Brotherhood Temple Shalom Shabbat Service-Cedar Grove, NJ]

● Mi’Chamochah - Crossings/ taking risks

(The following is a single combined reading):

*****

What is it that we leave as our legacy to future generations? Through a quest for knowledge and study we can offer a beginning towards understanding of who we are, who our parents are and who our children may be.

Rabbi Judah said; At the shore of the Red Sea each tribe said to the other, "you go into the sea first!" As they stood there bickering, Nahshon ben Aminadav jumped into the water. Meanwhile Moses was praying. God said to him, "My friend is drowning-and you pray!" "What can I do?" Moses asked.

"Speak to the people of Israel and tell them to go!"

[Talmud Sotah 37a]

*****

Only when we all take a risk, and walk in together, will the waters part.

My child, if you will receive my words, and treasure my commandments;

So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;

Indeed, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding;

If you seek her like silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;

Then shall you understand the fear of the Almighty, and find the knowledge of God.

For the Eternal gives wisdom; from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 2:1-6

[Brotherhood Siddur, Temple Beth Orr Brotherhood Coral Springs, FL]

*****

STANDING on the parted shores of historywe still believe what we were taught

before ever we stood at Sinai’s foot;

that wherever we go, it is eternally Egypt

that there is a better place, a promised land;

that the winding way to that promise

passes through the wilderness.

That there is no way to get from here to there

except by joining hands, marching

together. [Mishkan T’fillah Pg 158]

● Hashkiveinu

*****

AND JACOB LEFT Beersheba and setout for Haran. Coming upon a

[certain] place, he passed the night

there, for the sun was setting; taking

one of the stones of the place, he made

it his head-rest as he lay down in that

place. He dreamed, and lo — a ladder

was set on the ground, with its top

reaching to heaven, and lo — angels

of God going up and corning down

on it. And lo — Adonai stood up above

it, and said, "I, Adonai, am the God of

your father Abraham and God of Isaac:

the land on which you are lying I will

give to you and to your descendants.

And your descendants shall be like the

dust of the earth and you shall spread

out to the west and the east and the

north and the south. Through you andyour descendants all the families of the

earth shall find blessing. And here I am, with you: I will watch over you

wherever you go, and I will bring you

back to this soil. I will not let go of you

as long as I have yet to do what I have

promised you."

Waking from his sleep, Jacob said,"Truly, Adonai is in this place, and I did

not know it!" He was awestruck, and

said, "How awe-inspiring is this place!

This is none other than the house of

God and this is the gate of heaven.

[MT-Pg 143 (Shalom Alechem)]

● T’filah

“God, open my heart, that I might allow You inside.” Harry Offenbach

[This reading points out, with great honesty, some of the challenges we face, both internally and externally, as we attempt to pray].

*****

They say we’re supposed to be in a palace.

So we bow and take certain steps

as the prescribed supplication

drops from our lips.

But what do we really know

of castles and kings?

My kitchen faucet constantly leaks

and the kids’ faces

usually need cleaning.

If a door opened to a real palace,

I’d probably forget

and carry in a load of groceries.

No, the door we stand in front of

when the Amidah begins is silence.

And when we open it

and step through,

we arrive in our hearts.

Mine’s not a fancy place,

no jewels, no throne,

certainly not fit for a king.

But in that small chamber,

for just a few moments on Sabbath,

God and I can roll up our sleeves,

put some schnapps out on the table,

sit down together, and finally talk.

That’s palace enough for me.

[A Short Amidah, Syd Lieberman, Kol Haneshamah, pg. 730.]

● Avot: Ancestors

*****

Blessed are You, Adonai, our God. And blessed are my ancestors. In youth, I struggled with my heritage. I fought with my parents. In adulthood, I have come to understand my parents. Now, instead of struggling against my heritage, I struggle to know my heritage. So, too, my children struggle with me. Perhaps in every generation…

Blessed are You, Adonai, who gave shield to my ancestors; who is my shield; who, I pray, will shield my children. [Rabbi Victor S. Appell]

● G’vurot God Giving us life

*****

Judaism is to me something akin to oxygen. It is a vital, life-giving, fundamental part of my everyday existence—central to everything that I can

become. And yet it is so second nature that rarely do I stop to consider its

full meaning and importance. The fact is, most of the time, it—like

breathing air—is something of which I rarely take conscious notice. Yet,

taking a step back and really evaluating its importance, I know it is some-

thing I constantly carry with me and lean on for support.

[Jeremy Sandler-The Still Small Voice]

*****

We pray that we might know before whom we stand, the Power whose gift is life, who quickens those who have forgotten how to live.

We pray for winds to disperse the choking air of sadness, for cleansing rains to make parched hopes flower, and to give all of us the strength to rise up toward the sun.

We pray for love to encompass us for no other reason save that we are human, for love through which we may all blossom into persons who have gained power over our own lives.

We pray to stand upright, we fallen; to be healed, we sufferers; we pray to break the bonds that keep us from the world of beauty; we pray for opened eyes, we who are blind to our own authentic selves.

We pray that we may walk in the garden of a purposeful life, our own powers in touch with the power of the world. Praised be the God whose gift is life, whose cleansing rains let parched men and women flower toward the sun. [Gates of Prayer]

● K’dushat HaYom

*****

DISTURB US, Adonai, ruffle us from our complacency

Make us dissatisfied. Dissatisfied with the peace of ignorance,

the quietude which arises from a shunning of the horror, the defeat

the bitterness and the poverty, physical and spiritual, of humans.

Shock us, Adonai, deny to us the false Shabbat which gives us

the delusions of satisfaction amid a world of war and hatred;

Wake us, 0 God, and shake us

from the sweet and sad poignancies rendered by

half forgotten melodies and rubric prayers of yesteryears;

Make us know that the border of the sanctuary

is not the border of living

and the walls of Your temples are not shelters

from the winds of truth, justice and reality.

Disturb us, 0 God, and vex us;

let not Your Shabbat be a day of torpor and slumber;

let it be a time to be stirred and spurred to action.

[MT- Pg 173]

*****

The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amassa wealth of information, but to face sacred moments.

In a religious experience, for example, it is not a

thing that imposes itself on man but a spiritual pres-

ence." What is retained in the soul is the moment of

insight rather than the place where the act came to

pass. A moment of insight is a fortune, transporting us

beyond the confines of measured time. Spiritual life

begins to decay when we fail to sense the grandeur of

what is eternal in time.

[Abraham Joshua Heschel-The Sabbath]

*****

WHERE HAS this week vanished?Is it lost for ever?

Will I ever recover anything from it?

The joy of life, the unexpected victory,

the realized hope, the task accomplished?

Will I ever be able to banish the memory of pain,

the sting of defeat, the heaviness of boredom?

On this day let me keep for a while what must drift away.

On this day let me be free of the burdens that must return.

On this day, Shabbat, abide.

Help me to withdraw for a while

from the flight of time.

Contain the retreat of the hours and days

from the grasp of frantic life.

Let me learn to pause, if only for this day.

Let me find peace on this day.

Let me enter into a quiet world this day.

On this day, Shabbat, abide.

[ MT-Pg 125]

● Avodah: Peace, and renewal

*****

Do not think that the words of prayer

as you say them

go up to God.

It is not the words themselves that ascend;

it is rather the burning desire of your heart

that rises like smoke toward heaven.

If your prayer consists only of words and letters,

and does not contain your heart’s desire -

how can it rise up to God?

[Nachman of Bratzlav]

*****

There is not enough stillness, not enough silence in the life of today’sAmerican Jewish man. There are too many means of communication, too

many commitments, too many appointments, and too much sheer noise

for a Jewish man to follow the thin filament running from his head to his

heart, and from there into the deepest recesses of his being. The Jewish

removal from nature has precipitated our exile from the "still, small

voice" that resides at our center and connects us to what is most irrevocably Jewish about us. This inner exile has come about because Judaism,

born in a land of immense beauty and vast silences, had to preserve and

perpetuate itself in community. Silence became an object of distrust: the

silent were alone, vulnerable. Perhaps the silent had vanished. Or gone

over to the worship of idols.

My own search for silence began in a kind of loneliness, dove into a

deep pool of solitude, and ended up once again on the shining shores of

Judaism, this time with a deep connection to Jewish identity and practice.

It was only through silence that I beheld my Jewish essence, and

only through silence that I was led back to being fully Jewish.

My Jewish n’shamah, having grown up through the silence to meetme, now serves as my guide on a journey upon which more men must

embark: seeking, through silence, to deeply hear their own Jewish

essence, and to resolve to honor it through study, worship, and serving

the community.

[David Gottlieb-The Still Small Voice]

● Meditation

*****

Dear God,

We are bound with very tight knots.

They choke off air and stop the blood from pulsating freely.

The knots make us like computers with carefully controlled

circuitry.

The knots in our brains tie our creativity - our link with You.

We follow the knot around in its intricacy - but it remains a

knot.

The knots in our hearts keep us from crying and dancing when we long to -

They tie us to the posts of the fences that separate us from each other.

The knots in our muscles keep our teeth clenched, our jaws locked, our legs crossed, our shoulders stooped, our backs bent, our chests from inhaling and exhaling the full sweetness of life’s breath.

God, untie all our knots! [Untie Sheila Peltz Weinberg, Kol Haneshamah, p 748]

● Kaddish – remembrance

*****

WHEN I DIE give what's left of me awayto children and old men that wait to die.

And if you need to cry,

cry your brother walking the street beside you.

And when you need me, put your arms around anyone

and give them what you need to give me.

I want to leave you something,

something better than words or sounds.

Look for me in the people I’ve known or loved,

and if you cannot give me away,

at least let me live in your eyes and not in your mind.

You can love me best by letting hands touch hands,

and by letting go of children that need to be free.

Love doesn’t die, people do.

So, when all that’s left of me is love,

give me away.

[MT -page 592]

*****

When my brother suffers, I will comfort him.

When my brother prospers, I will rejoice with him.

When my brother is lonely, I will seek him out.

When my brother seeks solitude, I will respect his right to privacy.

When my brother is attacked, I will defend him.

When my brother is oppressed, I will relieve him.

When my brother is needy, I will gladly give to him.

When my brother gives unto me, I will accept graciously from him.

When death claims my brother, as death must come to all, I will pray to God, Creator of Life, and thank God for the fellowship of my brother’s days, and for the memory of his goodness. [Brotherhood, Temple Israel of Jamaica.]

*****

When a soldier in the forces of a ruler of flesh and blood falls,That ruler hardly knows that one is missing.

If one soldier is slain, there are others to replace that one.

But our Ruler, the Creator of the Universe,

The Holy One, Who is to be blessed,

Desires life, loves peace and pursues peace;

When one of Israel is missing,

A diminishing and lessening takes place;

There is a decline of strength.

Therefore we pray after the death of each Jew,

Yitgadal v'yitkadah sh'mey raba,

May the Power of the Name be magnified,

And may no lessening of power come to the Holy One

Who is blessed and sanctified,

In the world which was created according to the Holy Will.

Therefore, 0 sisters and brothers of the whole house of Israel,

All you who participate in this mourning,

Let us turn our hearts to the Holy One,

The Ruler and Redeemer of Israel.

And pray—for ourselves—and for our Creator as well:

That we may be worthy to live and see with our very eyes,

Oseh shalom bi-m'romavHu ya-aseh shalom aleynu v'al kol yisrael.

That the One, who mercifully makes peace in the heavens,

Will make peace for us,

And for all Israel.

And let us say: Amen.

[Adapted from the poem by S. Y. Agnon Saying Kaddish-Anita Diamant, p 208-209]

● Closing words

*****

May the time not be distant, O God, when we can retire our armor. Fervently we pray that the day may come when our struggles will be over, when our battles both emotional and physical shall cease. We long for the day when warriors will lay down their weapons and embrace, as did Jacob and Esau. Then, and only then, shall Your vision be established on earth, and the word of Your prophet fulfilled: “Adonai will reign forever and ever.” [Rabbi Victor S. Appell]

*****

That we may build a holy place

This is the spirit that we bring

That we may build a holy place

We will bring all the goodness

That comes from our hearts

And the spirit of God will dwell within.

These are the colors of our dreams

We bring to make a holy place

This is the weaving of our lives

We bring to make a holy place

We will bring all the goodness

That comes from our hearts

And the spirit of love will dwell within.

These are the prayers that we bring

That we may make a holy place

These are the visions that we seek

That we may build this holy place

Let our promise forever be strong

Let our souls rise together in song

That the spirit of God and the spirit of love,

Shechinah, will dwell within.

[Debbie Friedman, Based on Exodus 25:8]

*****

And then all that has divided us will merge

And then compassion will be wedded to power

And then softness will come to a world that is harsh and unkind

And then both men and women will be gentle

And then both women and men will be strong

And then no person will be subject to another’s will

And then all will be rich and free and varied

And then the greed of some will give way to the needs of many

And then all will share equally in the Earth’s abundance

And then all will care for the sick and the weak and the old

And then all will nourish the young

And then all will nourish life’s creatures

And then all will live in harmony with each other and the Earth

And then everywhere will be called Eden once again.
