PRONUNCIATION AND TRANSLITERATION KEYThe transliteration in this booklet has been standardized for ease of use.The pronunciation follows the Sephardi/Israeli usage. Hebrew words aregenerally accented on the final syllable. When the accent falls on the next-to-lastsyllable (the exception), the syllable will be marked in bold to assist you withaccurate pronunciation. Note also that transliterations of prayer texts are presentedwithout repetition according to specific melodies; song texts in the HavaNashira section, however, do include repetitions following the most familiarmelodies. Note: three dots […] indicates that davening continues individually.The following transliteration conventions were followed:a as in fAther o as in Ozonee as in Education u as in rhUbarbei as in Asymmetric ’ as in It (sh’va)i as in EAting kh for the gutteral letter as in BaruKHh for the guttural letter also as in HutzpahHebrew Equivalentslmnsalmost silent/gutturalpftzkrshstsilentbvgdhvzhtykkh2

WELCOME TO BETH EL SYNAGOGUEBeth El, which means “House of God,” is a Conservative congregation.Founded in 1924, today it numbers 1,300 member families. Our SpiegelSanctuary, like all Jewish houses of worship, faces toward Jerusalem. It wasbuilt in 1970 to represent the Ohel Mo’ed (Tent of Meeting) that accompaniedthe Children of Israel throughout their desert wanderings. Its rafters aredesigned to lead your attention up toward the heaven and its natural oak wallsare meant to create a feeling of warmth and intimacy. The stained glass windowdepicts the Israelites escaping Egyptian slavery and heading for Mt. Sinai.This window also incorporates the vision of the prophet Isaiah, who said: “Aday will come when all shall beat their swords into plowshares, their spearsinto pruning knives; when nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neithershall they learn war anymore.”Just below the stained-glass window is the ner tamid (eternal light), whichsymbolizes God’s eternal presence. The ner tamid is in the shape of theworld. It in turn rests above three Hebrew words, which correspond to theTalmudic saying that the world rests on Emet (Truth), Din (Justice) andShalom (Peace). On the left side of the bima (pulpit) is a sculpturedmenorah whose stem spells out the Hebrew words “Beit El” (House of God).On the right side of the bima is a sculptured burning bush with the Hebrewquotation: “The bush was not consumed,” symbolizing over 3,500 years ofJewish living.Like the Spiegel Sanctuary, the Fiterman Chapel offers a warm, intimate spacefor communal worship. The chapel contains twelve windows symbolizing thetwelve tribes of biblical Israel. Originally hung in the first Beth El building onMinneapolis’ “old north side,” these windows depict symbols of Jewish holidays.On the right side of the bima, above the hazan’s (cantor’s) stand, is amenorah. Written to the left of the bima are the opening words of each of theTen Commandments.3

An Overview of ServicesA typical Friday evening service has two primary parts:1. Kabbalat Shabbat is a collection of Psalms and poems that help us leavethe weekday behind and enter the spirit of Shabbat.2. Ma’ariv, the evening service, contains the sh’ma and its surroundingblessings, a private meditation known as the amidah (“standing prayer”)and a series of concluding prayers.A typical Shabbat morning service has four primary sections:1. Birkhot HaShahar and P’sukei D’zimra (“morning blessings” and “versesof song”) are a collection of Psalms and prayers that help us enter the moodof prayer.2. Shaharit, the morning service, follows the same thematic format as thema’ariv service (see number 2 above). Its two primary elements are: 1) thesh’ma and its blessings and 2) the amidah.3. During the Torah service, a section (parasha) of the Torah (the FiveBooks of Moses) is chanted. It is followed by the Haftara, a reading fromthe Prophets that is thematically related to the Torah reading. The Torahscrolls are removed from and returned to the aron hakodesh (the holy ark)with songs and prayers.4. The Musaf service highlights the uniqueness of Shabbat and holidays byincorporating an additional amida into the morning service (musaf literallymeans “additional”). Its recitation connects us to the worship of our ancestors2,000 years ago.At the conclusion of a morning service, kiddush and motzi (prayers made overwine and bread) are recited. As we move to the Gruman Social Hall to enjoysome sweets and sometimes a light lunch, we wish each other a “shabbat shalom”(a peaceful Sabbath) or “hag samei’ah” (happy holiday). Please join us.6

The Building Blocks of Jewish PrayerThere are two primary components of every ma’ariv (evening) and shaharit(morning) service: the sh’ma and the amida. At its most basic, the sh’ma is aprayer directed to the community that speaks about God. Along with its surroundingblessings, it tells us who God is and how God acts in the world. The amida,on the other hand, is a prayer in which we speak to God and see ourselves asstanding in God’s presence. Each prayer has its own structure and choreographythat reflect its unique meaning.The Sh’ma and its Blessings can be outlined as follows:Bar’khu- Call to prayer1. Yotzer Or: Creation2. Ahava: RevelationSh’ma:A. Sh’ma & V’ahavta: Adonai is One.B. V’haya Im Shamo’a: We serve God by observing mitzvot.C. Vayomer: Mitzvot lead us to holiness.3. G’ula: Redemption4. Hashkiveinu: Peace (evenings only)The sh’ma consists of three paragraphs (letters A, B, C, above), which are acommunal expression of God’s oneness and which outline our obligation to loveand serve God. These three paragraphs are direct quotations from the Torah.The blessings surrounding the sh’ma (numbers 1 - 4) emphasize: God as creatorof the universe; God’s love for the people Israel as demonstrated through the givingof Torah; God’s redemption of Israel from Egyptian slavery and our hope forultimate redemption in the messianic era.This entire prayer unit, known as sh’ma uvirkhoteha (the sh’ma and its blessings),is introduced with the bar’khu, an invitiation to gather together for prayer.7

The amida can be outlined as follows:Sh’vahot (Praise)1. Avot: recalling our ancestors2. G’vurot: describing God's powers3. K’dusha: proclaiming God's holinessK’dushat Hayom (Sanctification of the Day)4. God sanctifies Shabbat and/or Yom TovHoda’ot (Thanksgiving)5. Avoda: asking for our prayer to be accepted6. Hoda’a: prayer of thanksgiving7. Shalom: prayer for peaceThe amida is a silent meditation that has three primary parts. The three b’rakhotat the beginning (numbers 1 - 3) and at the end (numbers 5 - 7) of the amidaare identical each time the prayer is recited throughout the day, week and year.The middle section (number 4), however, varies. On a weekday, the middle sectionconsists of 13 requests (bakashot) for such things as health, prosperity andjustice. On Shabbat and holidays, these 13 requests are replaced by one b’rakhathat praises God for sanctifying the Sabbath or Festival.From Shabbat to Shabbat, our t’fillot (prayers) are largely the same. The serviceitself is “fixed” (in Hebrew, keva): services happen at a set time of day, the structureand the words themselves are mostly unchanging. We, on the other hand, aredifferent week to week. World events and interactions with friends and familycontinually shape and reshape who we are. When we approach our davening(worship) with kavanah (focus, concentration), the words of the siddur, though“fixed,” can appear renewed and refreshed.For a fuller examination of Jewish prayer, see the introduction to Siddur SimShalom, Or Hadash: A Commentary on Siddur Sim Shalom, or choose a bookon the book cart, which is located in the Ring Lobby. For a glossary of importantHebrew words and phrases, see pages 403 - 404 in Siddur Sim Shalom.8

Music TraditionsSynagogue music is central to making prayer meaningful. Recitation withoutmusic is dry and monotonous. Chanting our t’fillot (prayers) adds color andinterest and often a fresh interpretation of the text.The music at Beth El generally follows the traditions of Ashkenazi Jewry(Jews from Eastern Europe). Ashkenazi Synagogue music can be grouped intofour categories:1. cantillation - the chanting of biblical text: Torah (first Five Books),Haftara (the Prophets) and M’gillot (from the Writings);2. MiSinai Tunes - holiday melodies developed from 11th to 14thcentury Western Europe which have since become universally accepted;3. nusah hat’filla - prayer modes devised in Eastern Europe, standardizedby the end of the 18th century; and4. melodies, niggunim and choral arrangements - composed inrecent centuries by individuals in their respective Jewish communities;melodies may vary even from congregation to congregation within agiven community.Synagogue music that has become accepted over time roots us in our past. At thesame time, because all music is a reflection of the time and place it is composed,the repertoire of synagogue music continues to grow and expand. Newer tunesemployed at Beth El tie us to the present and invite us to examine our liturgy withfresh eyes and ears. As you participate in the chants and melodies of our service,we hope you will come to feel a measure of the meaning and spirituality engenderedby centuries of singing and davening.For additional background on Jewish synagogue music, refer to Heritage ofMusic by Judith Kaplan Eisenstein, Concise Encylopedia of Jewish Music byMacy Nulman and Off the Willows by Avraham Soltes.9

RITUALS, REJOICING AND RESPECTTraditional PracticesHead Covering: In keeping with tradition, all men are asked to keep their headscovered in the synagogue. This serves as a sign of reverence and awareness ofbeing in God’s presence. Kippot (head coverings) or yarmulkes (Yiddish) areprovided for your use if you do not have your own. They are located at theentrances of the chapel and main sanctuary. Women are invited to wear a headcovering and often do so when ascending the bima for an honor.Prayer Shawl: A tallit (prayer shawl) is worn by Jewish men and some Jewishwomen. Following the biblical commandment to “make tzitzit (knotted fringes)on the corners of garments,” the tallit and its tzitzit represent God’s protectingshelter and the 613 mitzvot (commandments) incumbent on Jewish adults.Standing: During certain prayers, Jews stand, bow and sometimes sway back andforth (shukkel). We stand out of respect for the Torah or during prayers that askus to imagine ourselves speaking directly to God. When the congregation as awhole rises, we ask all who are able to rise. During the individual mourner’skaddish, only mourners are required to stand. Bowing serves as a sign of humilityand reverence. Congregational singing, the cadence of the Hebrew poetry,becoming enwrapped in the power and beauty of the prayers may all move adavener (worshipper) to sway back and forth.S’mahot (Celebrations)Bar and Bat Mitzvah: On most Shabbatot, we are privileged to celebrate a bar orbat mitzvah. Literally, “son/daughter of the commandment,” this life cycle celebrationrepresents an initiation into the responsibilities and privileges of Jewishadulthood. It offers an opportunity for the bar or bat mitzvah to lead services,chant Torah and Haftara and to give an interpretation of the Torah reading. Inaddition, the rabbis and the child’s parent(s) use this occasion to share words ofwisdom with the bar or bat mitzvah.10

Weddings: Upcoming weddings are celebrated with an aufruf. Literally, “goingup,” an aufruf is an opportunity for a bride and groom to demonstrate theircommitment to establishing a Jewish home by going up to the Torah to recite thetraditional blessings. A Jewish wedding is an occasion for the Jewish communityto rejoice. We do so by showering the couple with sweets (thrown softly!), singingand offering a special blessing.Other S’mahot: Occasionally, we celebrate a birth, a wedding anniversary or anupcoming trip to Israel during services. Each celebration is accompanied byappropriate blessings and simha songs (words for which can be found beginningon page 61).Derekh Eretz (Proper Conduct)Derekh Eretz (literally, “the way of the land”) refers to the correct and respectfulway of being and behaving. By practicing derekh eretz in synagogue, school,home, workplace, etc., we strive to create a society built on fundamental Jewishvalues of kindness, courtesy and modesty.Shabbat and holidays are meant to be “holy days,” days set apart from the rest ofthe week. To create an atmosphere of k’dusha (sanctity) and in observance ofthe mitzvot of Shabbat and Jewish holidays, we ask you to refrain from activitiesthat are prohibited on Shabbat or that detract from the day’s special nature. Suchactivities include: writing, smoking, gum chewing, taking photographs and usingcell phones or pagers anywhere in the building before, during and after services.Frequent entrances and exits from the sanctuary or chapel can distract othersfrom their concentration on prayer, as can excessive conversation during theservices. We ask you, therefore, to help us create a prayerful mood by limitingthese behaviors and by participating fully in our services.Respectful dress is an act of derekh eretz and is required in the sanctuary. Thismeans wearing clothing that is appropriately modest and refraining from wearingexcessively casual clothing.11

Kabbalat ShabbatSIM SHALOM: pages 14 - 24An Outline of Kabbalat ShabbatPsalms 95-99, 29 Introductory PsalmsL’kha DodiLet Us Greet the Sabbath BridePsalms 92, 93 Special Psalms for ShabbatMourner’s KaddishKabbalat Shabbat begins with a series of psalms that help us transition fromoffice and home to shul, from weekday to Shabbat, from work to rest. These sixpsalms, which correspond to the six days of Creation, help us reflect on God asCreator of the natural world. Turning away from the hectic world of work,errands and activities, we strive to hear in the silence of Shabbat the sound of“rivers clapping in exultation, mountains rejoicing in song” (Psalm 98) in praiseof God’s creation.L’kha Dodi is the climax of the Kabbalat Shabbat service. In it, we picture Shabbat asa bride and we rejoice as she enters the congregation.Y’did Nefesh p. 14y’did nefesh av harahaman, m’shokh avdakh el r’tzonakhyarutz avdakh k’mo ayal, yishtahaveh el mul hadarakhye’erav lo y’didutakh minofet tzuf v’khol-ta’am.hadur, na’eh, ziv ha’olam, nafshi holat ahavatakhana, eil na, r’fa na lah b’har’ot lah no’am zivakhaz tithazeik v’titrapei, v’hay’ta lakh shifhat olam.vatik, yehemu rahamekha, v’hus na al bein ohavakhki zeh kama nikhsof nikhsaf lir’ot b’tiferet uzakhana, eili, mahmad libi, husha na, v’al titalam.higalei na ufros, haviv, alai et-sukkat sh’lomakhta’ir eretz mik’vodakh, nagila v’nism’ha vakhmaheir, ahuv, ki va mo’eid, v’honeini kimei olam.12WELCOMING SHABBAT

Ma’arivSIM SHALOM: pages 28 - 54An Outline of the Ma’ariv ServiceBar’khu - Call to PrayerSh’ma and its BlessingsHatzi KaddishAmidaKaddish ShalemAleinuMourner’s KaddishYigdal - concluding songThe ma’ariv (evening) service contains two primary elements: 1) the sh’ma andits surrounding blessings and 2) the amidah.The sh’ma consists of three paragraphs, each from a different passage in theTorah. These three paragraphs are the closest things Jews have to a creed. Byreciting them, we affirm our belief in God, the path of serving God (mitzvot) andthe reward for this service (holiness).The three paragraphs of the sh’ma are introduced by two b’rakhot (blessings).The first b’rakha speaks of creation, the second of revelation. Following thesh’ma are another two b’rakhot that speak of redemption and peace, respectively.While different in their poetry, the b’rakhot surrounding the morning sh’mafollow the same themes as those of the evening sh’ma.The core themes of the brakhot surrounding the sh’ma - creation, revelation andredemption- are echoed in the Shabbat amida. The ma’ariv (evening) amidaspeaks of the creation of the world. In the shaharit (morning) service,it speaks of God’s revelation to Moshe on Mt. Sinai. During minha (afternoonservice), the amida speaks of the eternal rest of the messianic age(i.e., redemption).16EVENING SERVICE FOR SHABBAT AND FESTIVALS

Birkhot HashaharSIM SHALOM: Pages 61 - 71Just as one should not begin physical exercise without first warming up, so too,one should not begin davening (worship) without “warming up.” The earlymorning prayers, birkhot hashahar, give us an opportunity to warm up our voicesand spirit. They begin with a series of b’rakhot (blessings) that trace theprocess of awakening. These b’rakhot thank God for the gift of our bodies andsouls; they describe God as providing for our physical needs of sight, strength,clothing, etc.The service continues with a portion of study. The passages for study in ourConservative siddur all focus on g’milut hasadim (acts of loving kindness).Their recitation not only fulfills our “minimum daily requirement” of Torah study,it also points us on the path of righteousness each morning. Birkhot hashaharconcludes with the kaddish and special psalm of the day.Modeh/Modah Ani p. 61modeh/moda ani l’fanekha melekh hai v’kayam,shehehezarta bi nishmati b’hemla, rabba emunatekha.Ma Tovu p. 61ma tovu ohalekha ya’akov, mishk’notekha yisra’eil.va’ani b’rov hasd’kha avo veitekha,eshtahaveh el heikhal kodsh’kha b’yir’atekha.adonai, ahavti m’on beitekha, umkom mishkan k’vodekha.va’ani eshtahaveh v’ekhra’a, evr’kha lifnei adonai osi.va’ani t’filati l’kha, adonai, eit ratzon.elohim, b’rov hasdekha, aneini be’emet yish’ekha.EARLY MORNING BLESSINGS23

Betweenthem are a series of readings, most of which are psalms. It is quite a mass of materialto cover, and for that reason, we only daven selected t’fillot (prayers). The purposeof this section is not necessarily to contemplate each word individually. Instead, thedavening is to be mantra-like. Entering the rhythm of the service and “getting lost inthe words” allows for a few mind-calming minutes that prepare the davener for theshaharit service that follows.Barukh She’amar p. 83barukh she’amar v’haya ha’olam, barukh hu.barukh oseh v’reishit,barukh omeir v’oseh,barukh gozeir umkayeim,barukh m’raheim al ha’aretz,barukh m’raheim al hab’riyot,barukh m’shaleim sahar tov lirei’av,barukh hai la’ad v’kayam lanetzah,barukh podeh umatzil, barukh sh’mo…26VERSES OF SONG

ShaharitAn Outline of the Shaharit ServiceBar’khu - Call to WorshipSh’ma and its BlessingsAmidaKaddish ShalemSIM SHALOM: Pages 107 - 128Like the ma’ariv service (see p. 16), shaharit is constructed around anunchanging core known as the matbei’a shel t’fillah. It consists of the sh’mawith its surrounding blessings and the amida. The three paragraphs of thesh’ma outline the basics of our faith. Taken directly from the Torah, the sh’mais a record of words spoken to our Israelite ancestors and to us by God. In theamida, on the other hand, it is not God but humans who speak. In this quietmoment of reflection, we stand before God and address God directly with wordsof praise, petition and thanksgiving. Traditionally, the amida is recited firstindividually and then repeated by the hazan (cantor). This practice reflectsa fundamental notion of Jewish prayer - it is both a personal and a communalexperience.The shaharit service opens with the bar’khu, the call to prayer.Barkhu p. 107(Hazan) bar’khu et-adonai ham’vorakh.(Cong.) barukh adonai ham’vorakh l’olam va’ed.

Torah ServiceSIM SHALOM: Pages 139 - 154An Outline of the Torah ServiceHotza’a (Processional)Torah ReadingHaftara ReadingAdditional Prayersfor the congregationfor the U.S. governmentfor the State of Israelfor the new monthHakhnasa (Recessional)The Torah service is a unique and sacred moment in the Shabbat and holidayservices that embodies a central Jewish value. After reciting prayer after prayerof praise and thanksgiving, we take time out... to study. For Jews, study is both aprivilege and a form of Divine service. It is deserving, therefore, not only of ourundivided attention but of our rejoicing with song.As the sefer Torah (Torah scroll) is removed from the aron hakodesh (holyark) and paraded around the sanctuary, the congregation sings verses takenfrom the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible). These verses simultaneously direct ourthoughts to the past and to the future. They remind us of our earliest history asa nation when a portable ark containing the written word of God lay in the centerof the Israelite camp. At the same time, these prayers envision an era whenthe entire world will recognize God’s word as coming forth from Zion.TORAH SERVICE37

Torah ServiceSIM SHALOM: Pages 139 - 154Guide to Torah HonorsFor Jews, a sefer Torah is a holy object that must be handled with great care,respect and hiddur (esthetic enhancement). The sifrei Torah at Beth El areadorned with silver crowns and breast plates and are encased in colorful mantelsand decorative tikkim (“cases” for the two Sephardic Torahs in the main sanctuary).The original designs on the Torah’s needle-pointed mantels depict the sanctuary’sstained glass window interwoven with various biblical verses.To be kosher, Torah scrolls must be hand-written by a scribe using special inkand special parchment. One misspelled letter in a sefer Torah invalidates it foruse in public Torah readings. Because the Hebrew in a sefer Torah is writtenwithout vowels or musical notation (t’amim), chanting from the Torah requiresskill and practice.As an object of affection and importance, special customs have developed surroundinga sefer Torah:• To ensure an accurate reading of this sacred scripture, two gabba’im closelyfollow the Torah reading to correct mispronounced words.• One who receives a Torah honor (reads from, makes blessings over, lifts anddresses a Torah, etc.) is greeted by fellow congregants not with applause, butwith the blessingto a man: yishar kohakha - May you have strength from themitzvah you performed;to a woman: yishar koheikh - May you have strength from themitzvah you performed.The honoree repliesto a man: barukh tihyeh - May you be blessed;to a woman: b’rukha tihyi - May you be blessed.• As the Torah is raised, all who are able rise as a sign of honor. It is traditionalto point to the Torah as it is lifted to indicate that “this is the Torah” (“v’zothatorah”) which has been handed down since the time of Moshe. As the Torahis paraded around the sanctuary, we follow it by turning to face it and kissing itwith our tzitzit (tallit fringes) or siddur as it passes by.38TORAH SERVICE

MusafAn Outline of the Musaf ServiceHatzi KaddishMusaf AmidaKaddish ShalemEin KeiloheinuAleinuMourner’s KaddishAdon OlamSIM SHALOM: Pages 155 - 187On Shabbat, an additional amida is added to the service (musaf means “additional”).This amida follows the same structure as the shaharit amida. It contains,however, special paragraphs that draw our thoughts to Temple worship.Just as our ancestors in Temple times made an additional offering to distinguishShabbat and holidays from weekdays, so too, do we include an additionalamida in our services.When we recall the Temple, we link ourselves to our past. But this prayer doesmore than remind us of biblical Temple worship (called avodah). In 70 CEwhen the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed, sacrifices ceased. In their place,prayer began to flourish. The rabbis referred to prayer as avodah shebalev“worship of the heart.” Thus, even though the fires on the Temple’s altar wereextinguished, there is still a sanctuary inside each of us where offerings aremade and a fire still burns - the heart. The musaf amida asks us to considerwhat offering our hearts make in the service of the Divine. When we think ofthe piety of our ancestors, who from their meager supply of cattle and grain,offered their best possessions, we feel called upon to devote not only our wordsbut also our substance and our hearts to God’s service.Following the musaf service are the concluding prayers. They are an expandedversion of the concluding prayers for a weekday shaharit service.ADDITIONAL AMIDA47

OnFriday night, the ma’ariv amida focused on creation – Shabbat provides us theopportunity to appreciate nature. At the shaharit service, the amida focused onrevelation – Shabbat offers the gift of Torah study. The minha amida speaks ofrest – the quiet harmony we experience on Shabbat afternoon is a foretaste ofeternal rest, of ultimate redemption.The Shabbat minha service differs from the weekday minha with its inclusionof a short Torah reading. Though the Torah was read earlier in the day, wealready anticipate next Shabbat by reading the first aliya of the comingweek’s parasha.AFTERNOON SERVICE FOR SHABBAT AND FESTIVALS55
