[jewish-culture-is]

Jewish culture is being able to follow a prayer you don't normally do if you have the words in front of you but absolutley not being able to say a prayer you know by heart if the tune is just slightly different from what you're used to

this is actually the realest ever.....

<- has gone to temples that aren't my home one and sat there silently during every prayer because the tunes were changed

“Aleinu l’shabeyach l’adon hakol” = it is our duty to praise the foundation (master) of all. One of the concluding prayers of the Jewish service that paints a picture of a new world.

As Jews, we know what it means to believe in a better world. That often means letting go of things that bring comfort. Very rarely is that pretty. Olam Haba’ah will not come with the twiddling of thumbs. We are the “And” in the statement “And then”

Hi folks, so I would really like to learn to daven tehillim/learn how to lead community tehillim davening, and my searches online for resources are not being particularly helpful. I am finding resources recommending which Psalms to read, but nothing that helps me out on melodies.

Do people usually just use weekday nusach or like idk Eicha trope or something? Or are there particular melodies or a particular nusach that one typically uses?

This is usually done during hard times and times of crisis, so my instinct if I can't figure this out otherwise is Eicha trope.

Orthodox and/or otherwise traditional pals help me out?

Jewish ethnically but not practising. I don't know what to say and it might just be a voice but I just hope so hard antisemitism doesn't rise up again bc I'm terrified of it happening again and I'm not even out. Those last days have been a nightmare in the news

My parents and grandp have always hidden that identity and I feel sad that I feel I have to hide again.

Love and thoughts to all the community of Jews / religious or ethnic.. 💜💜💜💜💜

Jewish ethnically, culturally, religiously, or in any other way, we are all united. Now and always. Being Jewish is being family. You are family.

We will get through this. We will outlive them. We will survive.

I won't sugarcoat, antisemitism has spiked drastically already. Over 400% according to a source I saw.

This may mean that some people will start tucking their stars of David into their shirts, they may be quiet about their Jewishness. And that's okay. To paraphrase a post I saw, it's not a reflection of our pride, it's a reflection of the times.

However. What we do in private doesn't have to be less. If you've never said shema or modeh ani before, now is the time to start. Find a translation or transliteration online. If you've never kept shabbat and are able to, even for a few hours, do so intentionally, do that.

In a world that wants us to forsake who we are, resist by delving into your cultural heritage, even if that's not something you've ever done before.

For anyone who would like to say Tehillim to ask Hashem to protect Jews today during the Day of Hate, here is Psalms 91, the prayer for safety and protection.

אֲדֹנָי שְׂפָתַי תִּפְתָּח וּפִי יַגִּיד תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ:

"My Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise."

[From the opening declaration of the Sh'moneh Esrei silent prayer]

Chana was the mother of the famous prophet Shmuel. She struggled with fertility, and was taunted by her husband's other wife for this. She went to pray to Hashem in the Mishkan, and composed a silent, pleading prayer. Eli the High Priest saw her, and at first thought she was drunk because she was praying without moving her lips, which wasn't the norm at the time. However, she wasn't drunk, and asserted this to Eli. He apologized and promised her that her requests would be answered, and within the next year she had a son, who she dedicated to Hashem by committing him to be a Nazir and serve in the Mishkan. He would become a great prophet who would anoint both King Shaul and King David.

It is because of Chana's original silent prayer that every day, at least three times a day, we have a silent prayer in the form of Sh'moneh Esrei.

We begin the Sh'moneh Esrei by asking Hashem for help to let our words flow, and it's something that's really meaningful to me for when I have trouble finding my own words.

I bought this lovely little morning/evening set over a year ago. One card has a pretty graphic and a version of the modeh ani on the back, for use in small morning meditation and prayer. the other has hashkivenu on it, for use in small evening meditation and prayer.

I used them pretty regularly for a while and I really loved them! I fell out of the habit, and I am hoping to cultivate a more consistent practice and engagement with prayer in my life. I remembered I had these in my little 'spiritual area' in the house, and got them back out this morning. They're so pretty and helpful, thought I might share.

Menachem Bluming Muses: Does Prayer Work?

Many see prayer as a wish list. It’s as if G-d is some supernal vending machine, and prayers are the currency you drop into the slot to get what you want. If that were the case, this vending machine needs repair.

But that’s not what prayer is. Prayer is a practice of gratitude and humility. We give thanks for what we have received, and humbly ask for what we need. We recognize that all we have is a gift, and whatever we lack can only be fulfilled by G-d, the source of all. He may give us what we ask, or He may not. We know that from the start.

A person of faith knows that nothing is random, nothing is meaningless, and ultimately G-d is in control. This doesn’t mean bad things won’t happen. Prayer gives perspective to know that there is a bigger picture, strength to know that even hard times can have hidden blessings, and humility to know that we can’t control what happens, only how we react to it.

I would call that a prayer that works.

Here’s a random question: do I have any practicing Jews following me? I need help for a fic I’m writing.

I’m looking for a short prayer or saying that my Jewish character would say upon seeing that something has turned out OK. The Jewish equivalent of “oh thank god” as it were. Things could have gone horrifically wrong and they did not, so my character says a quick prayer/saying/blessing in thanks. I’d just like to know what that is likely to be so I don’t have to write “he says a quick prayer of thanks under his breath” as a lazy cop out.

If you can help me out then please reply to this post, send me a message or hit up my inbox.

jewish culture is getting the prayers stuck in your head because they’re so catchy that you hum them and the goyim you’re with start humming along because you’ve got it stuck in their heads now 💀

so true op 😭

Hinei Ma tov: “Oh how good it is for people to dwell together”

i made this at the beginning of the pandemic, when everything was shut down. I had already been feeling pretty trapped by my spiritual practice, but the pandemic really brought that to light for me. In a way, it actually helped me, because it forced me to face what was going on and thus I began to work on it. [id: A downward looking view of a person with long hair in a cramped room. She is sitting on a bed that takes up the whole space and wearing a Tallis. The walls have the words to “Hinei ma Tov” written repeatedly.]

Finally got around to properly adjusting the shel rosh of my tefillin and actually wearing them for the first time in ages and I gotta be honest: there's no better way to start your day than to be so perfectly encircled in holiness. It's just this electric spiritual boost to have perfectly fitted tefillin holding you together and lifting you up.

#yes this is blatant tefillin propaganda #jumblr #jewish prayer #jewish joy #seriously y'all though it's been months of me putting this off #so I'm really happy about this

davening update 2/4

5 days to the mikvah!

i’ve got maariv aravim down as well as v’ahavta, but i’ve gotta practice ashrei more. but i’m up to “the righteous” in shemoneh esrei. i add one blessing of the shemoneh esrei each day at mincha and/or maariv.

each morning i say modah ani, netilat yadayim, asher yatzar, and then go onto yedid nefesh, mah tovu, adon olam, yigdal, elohai, and the birkot hashachar. i don’t really daven shacharit in full yet but i’ll get there. i want to at least get to full speed with the shemoneh esrei in hebrew before i start pesukei d’zimrah.
