Rosh Hashanah with Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Pereira: Universal Meanings and Sephardic Insights
In this presentation we discuss Rosh HaShanah as a time of accountability and teshuvah [return, repentance] and the corresponding symbolism of the shofar. Then, we will share a couple of Sephardic stories: ‘A shofar by another name’ and ‘A New Year in a New World’. Finally, we discuss a very unique Sephardic tradition: The Rosh HaShanah Seder.
Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Pereira is the director of adult education at the Chabad of Virginia, Richmond. He can be reached at shlomo@chabadofva.org. Rabbi Pereira was a Professor of Economics and has Rabbinical ordination. He is the author or co-author of Jewish Ethics from Portugal and other books.

What's in a (Jewish) Name? with Dr. Debby Koren
Переглядів 903 місяці тому
For Crypto-Jews who returned openly to Judaism, use of a Jewish name, perhaps the one they had before converting, perhaps one their parents had secretly given them, or perhaps one they adopted upon their return to Judaism, was clearly an important aspect of their renewed identity. How important is our name to our identity today? How important was a Jewish name to a Jew’s identity throughout the...

    *Ancient Yemen 🇾🇪 is the real birthplace of Judaism ✡️. An unbiased reading of the Torah reveals a shocking description of many historic events, kings names, historic figures, names of towns and cities, tribes names, etc. that are all unique to ancient Yemen.* 🥸

    Arab culture is very big on memorizing because they didn’t have own and paper and it was never expensive and some was illiterate so they would rely only memorize things. Also, Yemeni through Arab history always has been known to be hard workers and business people who would travel long distant for business

      Yemen Jews existed long before islam showed up.. the lies islam sell.m Yemenite Jews long before islam read Torah and learnt. They did not learn a style to read study from any islams. How the islams make many false claims but can't prove it in history they can't even proof their Koran is authentic so islam need many extra books to tell what Koran is in many mixed stories not all same if it's authentic there are 5.. schools of thought all different. wheres the authentic Koran with so many books to confirm it?? When something's real it don't need confirmation. Torah was not learnt from islams way.islam took from Jewish ways Torah was there long before islam showed up that's true and it's time humans start be honest what's truth not twist everything around as if they perfect islam Koran has lots of flaws in islams people.

    Years ago I, a white Anglican, was madly fascinated and may be in love with the Yemenite singer Ofra Haza who I was fortunate to see in Istanbul where she gave a very moving song,a prayer to the dead. I was also in love with Yemenite Irit Siani who I met on Kibbutz Ma'agen by the Kinneret or Sea of Galilee. The last I heard was that she went to New York to get married having been living with a Dutch Protestant on kibbutz. Poor Ofra died of AIDS but her voice lives forever. End
