do we have any interest to do Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur in Talbieh, Jerusalem ?

Are there enough people in the Talbiye area of Jerusalem, interested in doing tefilot for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kipur , maybe even Selijot once a week in Elul?

Does saying hamossi (lechem) cover all the food groups, I heard this before, I want to double check. Thanks

According to the site regarding the liturgy of Shaar Hashamayim, during the week, the Aqeda and the Qorbanoth are not read out loud. Does this mean that the going practice on weekdays is simply to read birkoth hashahar and then proceed directly to Hodu?

Soon the great library of Ets Haim will be back in its original place within the Portuguese Synagogue compound in Amsterdam and questions related can be easily answered, especially if we work towards the sustainable preservation and continuation for everyone of its content: This means as my former message that monies are needed

Shabat shalom: let us all work towards the sustainable preservation and continuation of the Great Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam

Shabbat Shalom Lekulam!

How much of a difference is there between the London and US S&P prayerbooks? I'm thinking of ordering the Fast Day prayerbook from the UK, since I can't get one here in the US, and don't know if it's worth getting the entire set of prayerbooks from the UK or not (I have all the prayerbooks sold by Shearith Israel).

Perhaps it's time again for a good melody...tthis is from the Spanish & Portuguese Synagogue in Montreal:

Alright, with this kind of dialogues, people offending and people being offended, this will never work. I think the best thing to do is close this group and declare our tradition doomed.

this is so beautiful, I would wish we sang it in Shearith Israel

Although I am very favourable to this site, and I do certainly feel i belong in thre, but please, I have done everythingon this site to stop any emais or notification. It did not work. Helpvplease.

Any thoughts about my dream of an Esnoga in Jerusalem?It should have:-an esnoga-a medras with library-community centre-at least weekly minyan

New thread about the website, any new suggestions, ideas?My ideal is a website with: -lots of info about all the historic communities-hazzanuth recordings-forum

So, back to the subject. Does anyone here have customs that are particular to your family rather than your community?For example, the melody for Qiddus can vary between members of the same community. Or the way you tie the tefillin on the hand.Try to post pictures or recordings if you can.

Feel free to join, but please only add members of the project. Whenever a debate is started here that is not about preserving the Western Sephardic tradition, you can move it there. Thanks.

I had found tThe following obituary had been posted on H-JUDAIC.Since I saw nothing of the kind on this forum, I am presenting it here:Raphael Loewe 1919-2011It is with great sadness that I report the death on Friday, May 27, of Raphael Loewe, Goldsmid Professor of Hebrew Emeritus, University College London.

Research question for dissertationWhat makes this sect of Judaism different from other sects?Opinions would be greatly appreciated :)

אם אפשר לדעת ... עדיין לא הבנתי מה הסיפור של הוייצמנים ? אנחנו נחשבים מרוקאים או אשכנזים ? מה הסיפור שלנו ? מאיזה נפילים הגחנו ? ...

בתמונה -חיים לוי ודוד ויצמן מנוחתם עדן. חיים ודוד ז''ל היו חברים בלב ובנפש. הם כבדו והוקירו את בני ביתם . ואת קרובי המשפחה. הכנסת האורחים שלהם נודעה לתהילה בקרב בני המשפחה. אשר התגוררו בארץ ובחו''ל. חיים ז''ל היה מקבל את פניהם בשדה התעופה ומארח אותם בביתו . ודוד ז''ל היה הנהג והמדריך של בני המשפחה. הוא הסיע אותם לכל מקום ואתר אשר הם חפצו בו. ואירח אותם בביתו כאברהם אבינו. דוד ז''ל בנה משק לתפארת...

And in regard to Bore Ad Annah, I want to take a little survey. In the fifth verse, there is a disparaging reference to the Christian belief in the trinity. It was censored out when the kinah was published, but Shearith Israel and Mikveh Israel have restored the original text. Can any of you from other communities tell me what you do there?

I just added recordings of 26 kinnot to
