Shalom! I am Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg. This is video number 2 and the hundred questions every Jews should know, we start with questions about the Synagogue. One of the three terms for Synagogue in Hebrew and how is the modern Synagogue about to them?
Well, it is [Foreign Language]. [Foreign Language] means the house of assembly and it is really the Greek word Synagogue. [Foreign Language], means the house of prayer. And [Foreign Language] is the house of study. The minor Synagogue combines to all of this function a place of gathering, community, a place of prayer, and a place of study.
Next question, describe the [Foreign Language] into feeling and wide do we record them so much respect. Live a video on the Persia or the [Foreign Language], the Torah says that you should wear Frages(PH) on the corners of your garments, and they you should look upon them and I can astray and remember all the commandments of the Lord. It is all Jews today do not ware square garments so we as for a special garment with a Frages(PH) attach in fulfillment of their biblical mandate.
To feel in is also the [Foreign Language] they actually from the second paragraph for the [Foreign Language] also from the Torah. To say you should find them for sign up on your hand from it is between your eyes that you should, again remember the commandments and it feeling are holy they have Torah in them and their all 3 basis of means vote. There are 3 ideas the Torah that save it that there assign to God, Shabbat is the third and so when were tell us to feel in, you have 2 of the 3 signs to God.
Next question, how is the Torah reading? How is the treated? Why do we record someone respect? Were Torah is handwritten by [Foreign Language] scribe, takes a long time to do it very exacting. It is very fast, waiting to watch the Torah being written. If you want to see a little bit of Torah, see my video on how do we have an Alliah, Torah owners and there I have a picture of Torah is part of that video.
It is the holy has thing the Jewish people have, so we treated it with tremendous respect because of that, we believes it is the word of God, or the word of God were fact it through human beings and therefore, the most important thing we have to do is trying understand the Torah.
The final question of the area of Synagogue is what is Alliah? Well making Alliah moving to Israel, but the Alliah is going up on having Alliah is having the Torah honor. If you want to see how to do that, you can see the video I have a Torah honors Alliah.
And let special occasion other than [Foreign Language] whether is when usually receive Alliah. Well, that would be at your side if you have the anniversary of the death of the love one and all [Foreign Language], bride and groom blessed before marriage, if you have a baby, a baby naming, the nun various other reasons but those would be the priorities.
Next sections are questions about the prayer book, see if you can answer this. Define the term [Foreign Language] and [Foreign Language]. Well [Foreign Language] is very much like a Passover sader means order. And among most [Foreign Language] of choose, that is the name of the basic prayer book for uses Shabbat in holidays. The [Foreign Language] is the basic prayer book we use [Foreign Language] for high holidays and some traditional Jews also have special [Foreign Language] for the special festivals, those the term to use [Foreign Language] Jews.
Next question, what is the important of the [Foreign Language]? And what is 3 paragraph saying? So I will have video on the [Foreign Language]. The [Foreign Language] is a single most important sentence in Judaism. It comes from Deuteronomy, hear O Israel the lord are God the lord as one. And then, there are 3 paragraphs after the [Foreign Language] we offer from the Torah. The first one contains many commandments including loving God to feel in Mezuzah teaching children.
The middle paragraph basically talks about the important of the observant in the commandments. The rewards for doing so, the final paragraph remind us to [Foreign Language] on the corners of the garments to observe the commandments and I go astray.
Next question, what is the name of the 3 prayer observes us of the day? They have a video and each one of this, the morning is [Foreign Language], the afternoon is [Foreign Language] and the evening is [Foreign Language]. Like prayers in the inducement you have prayer further all of this. Well, it is not the [Foreign Language] because they have done only in the morning and evening so, the [Foreign Language] that is done only in the morning and afternoon. There are a couple, the [Foreign Language] is done in all 3, they 1819 petitions, with seven on [Foreign Language], we also have [Foreign Language] of the end of this, there are [Foreign Language] in each of this, and there is the [Foreign Language] call to prayer, is addition this some other prayers.
There ask 2 questions on this video of the prayer book, what is the hallow service and what is it recited? And what is [Foreign Language] recited? How low is a collection Psalms recited on special festivals and praising God and [Foreign Language] is additional service, very brief that is all for that Shabbat in holidays.
And finally, what is the meaning [Foreign Language] prayer? It is always reside only at the end of the service?
Well, the [Foreign Language] was originally done this part of High Holiday drama and young Kippur by the high priest. Consequently in the High Holiday service it is done more in the middle of this service. The rest of the year is also at the end of the High Holiday services, the rest of the year every time we pray 3 times a day that is the end of the service.
And they ask [Foreign Language] the bender need acknowledge God and all export to a day when all the word acknowledges God presence. That is the end of the section in Synagogue and prayer. The next section be on the Jewish home and Shabbat in Holidays.
