Shalom! This is Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg. This is video 6 and the hundred questions Jewish should know. This one will be at the minor festivals and then at holidays. My videos and all of these so you would want to explore more.
First question, what is Tishabab? What is the significance? Tisha is 9, Ab is the month the ninth of Ab and according to the Tamed, on that day, hundred years of apart first and 586 before zero and then 70 the Common Era, the holy temple were destroyed, before zero by the Babylonians and after zero and 70 by the Romans. In addition, many of very sad things occurred in that day, and it is significant because we need to reflect on the tragedies of the Jewish history I wish to be more and I have video on Tishabab if you are watching.
Historical background on Hanakah and the order of the candles can do the Kanaka many videos on Hanakah that you could watch. The historical background basically took place in 165 BCE that is when the Greeks were subjugating the Jews in were desecrating the temple and not permitted the Jewish to practice Judaism. The group of Jews due to the map could be rose up and a raised an army and drove out the Syria and Greeks for a time. Jewish has sovereignty over the land together for a hundred years, and reestablish Jewish Kingdom there and we started of Jewish practice.
Rekindle one candle with the helper candle in the first night then two, then three, then four, and we start on the right side of the candle lamp, or how about light the newest candle from the left to the right each night.
What is Miguella or scroll of Esther? Well, they were actually 5 Miguella. We have already talked about a couple of them, Lamentations, The Ruth, The Song of Songs, Story of Ester is the biblical book that is red on a holiday of Purim. And it is describes the basis of the holiday of the near genocide of the Jewish, and Persian Kingdom and about the four century BCE, and then the victory and then the celebration.
What is the story of Purim and does it reflect an anti Semitism? Well, is it one of the first stories were Hammon, the evil, number two to the King singles out to Jews and tries to get them killed, mass murder because he did not like them.
Okay, now, actually I have some basic questions about high holidays, and seeyou’re your literacy is about this. What is the meaning of Leshashab? What does the high holidays stress that holy day?
Allow she is head Shana is year so have it the year the Tumah and actually their several but this is the minor have a video about let show you can watch? It is a day which we celebrate the recreation of the world, the birth of Isaac, the birth Samuel the prophet, it is a great day of joy. So also with day film was law because it is beginning of the 10 days of the repentant culminating in old Kippur.
One of the shawl for blown and what is it symbolize, I have a video on the shawl fire explains the whole thing. It is blown 100 sounds on Rasashana and one major period annual Kippur at the end. And it gives many reasons why we blow the shawl for about one by my manitis like it is to awake us from a spiritual slumber.
What it some other special prayers inside of mistral like a Shana? And those probably would be in the Musaf they later morning service, we have three main section that are not then I need at the time of the year. The map we ought they King should clears the shorter ought, and this see crown ought.
Explain how Jews confess their sin and how the Jews repent? Now we do not confess to a confessy, we confess directly to God any all the time will we send and we do so our daily prayers and all we say please forgive me for the sins I have committed. Anyong Kippur, we do so in the plural and community 10 times during the day with prayers could a sham know and a will reside list of sins and ask God for forgiveness.
We repent by acknowledging or transgression by asking God for forgiveness by reconciling your trying to remember the problem that anyone they referred. What is the Shabbat between why is it called that would between connection Kippur is about Shuba? While the opening words of the half Torah are Shuba Israel return that Israel is a perfectly proper reading in a period of the 10 days of repentance so it Sabbath of return.
What is the important to the all Kippur and light me fast. And all Kippur is called the Shabbat that the Shabbat is the holy day. Are we fast is away to reflect completely and spiritual side that day and not be involved with the normal, physical part of our being which we do the other 364 days a year but only on the spiritual side.
Little wait to a Tora says to reflect to our soul and a way to remind our souls important to repentant.
What is colmindric prayer and what does it have to do with the pray on Kippur? I am calling my prayer the first tribes represent on your Kippur at night. Basically ask God to observe us from many vows and make to God cause of the God understand to difficult to up keeping vows and it is more of the muse that introduce people find is all powerful but the idea of taking a word seriously in contemplated carefully when we make commitments to God is definitely important me ask with on your Kippur.
A followed question in this section what are some of the special prayers recited on a maps on your Kippur? Rise of the book Jonah whether your people afternoon and what is the Nahilah service?
Well some of the special prayer in your Kippur we have the Era Skubar which is murder allergy were we disreed that the brutal and horrible murder of 10 great sages by the Romans 2000 years ago. We have the abudah service were we elaborately describe the loving elaborate detail the service of the high priest the age in temple.
The book of Jonah is red because it is a great story in talk about this on your Kippur in my video. Where Jonah tries the free from God asking him to go town and tell the citizens the to prevent repent in finally God can you offers that course God would and can make this Jonah that his obligation is the help people repent. What better theme is their for you on Kippur.
Finally, the Hilah the only reside that in your Kippurs the fifth service of the day it is Davirian. It is where about the close the art can say of all prayers, yes can God for one more chance.
