The Prayer for Rain: Sephardic Tradition Same concept, different approach By Cantor Macy Nulman This article is excerpted from The Encyclopedia of Jewish Prayer. Jason Aronson, Inc A prayer for rain, comprising several paragraphs, is recited by Sephardim on Shemini Atzeret Some recite this section after lema'an shemo be'ahavah in the Shaliach Tzibbur's [service leader’s]repetition of the Amidah [standing prayer] while others recite it prior to the recitation of Musaf [the additional service] immediately before the Torah scrolls are returned to the ark. Shifat revivim ("O Lord, pour down copious showers from Thy heavens"), ascribed to Solomon ibn Gabirol , is the first prayer said. The author's first name, Shelomoh, is signed in the form of an acrostic at the beginning of the first lines in the poem and is followed by the wish HaZaK ("Be strong!"). When Tikkun Hageshem is said prior to Musaf ,the rabbi and hazzan [cantor]stand next to the scrolls of the Torah while reciting the prayer. The prayer that follows is Mechaseh shamayim ("O Thou Who coverest the heavens"). Its authorship is unknown. The sentence, "So open, we pray, Thy goodly treasury of rain, to revive all in whom a soul is breathed, as Thou makest the wind to blow and the rain to fall," is repeated as a refrain five times.

POETRY The Sephardi Aristocracy in Jerusalem Yitzhak Kerem* Menashe Eliashar David Benvenisti The Last Generation 500 Years after the Expulsion from Spain Just as New York has its Grandees, Jerusalem has its aristocratic Samech-Tetim ;* those affluent Sephardic families who trace their origin to Spain. This sector of the population of the capital city is hardly known, rarely heard from, but centrally important. Originally, after the Spanish expulsion of 1492, there was a Sephardi aristocracy in Safed, but it disappeared as Safeds stature dwindled. Economic deterioration, earthquakes, epidemics, and Arab riots were all factors leading to the population moving towards Jerusalem. For centuries, most of Jerusalems population was Sephardi. For example, the Parnas and Meyuchas families can trace their lineage in Jerusalem to the early post-Spanish expulsion period. A good part of the Sephardi population of Jerusalem traces its origins to the Balkans. Most of these people migrated from what is present-day Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece from the early 19th century until the end of the 1930s. Who exactly are these aristocrats? Today, most are well into their 80s and 90s in age. They come from elite families, such as Eliashar, Navon, Valero, Chinaeo, Benveniste, Mani, Kastel, and others. Their ancestors were wealthy bankers, entrepreneurs, merchants, rabbis, local communal leaders, and well-respected citizens in non-Jewish official circles, having valuable diplomatic connections with foreign governments.

The Sephardi Culinary Tradition pays tribute to a small pocket of Sephardi Jews who found refuge there after they fled Spain in 1492. Old Spanish or Ladino remained their language, Spanish poems, songs and music were imbedded in their culture. A vanished culture, which was ancient in origin, rich in diversity and loyal in its faith. In The Sephardi Culinary Tradition , Elsie Menasce pays tribute to these Rhodislis by evoking and rekindling the flavours, aromas, herbs and spices. " Each dish brings back memories of some occasion great or small; of festivals, of emotions and proverbial sayings." Mas kóme el ózo ke la bóka. The eye eats more than the mouth.

Cast your mind back to the sun-drenched islands of Rhodes in the Aegean, three windmills are etched against the sea shore as you near the small fishing harbour. Let your thoughts stray a little further to where the walls of the old city enclosed the Jewish quarter, the Guderia, it was here that the aroma of herbs and spices, freshly baked pastries, deftly picked olives and preserved quince mingled. THE SEPHARDI CULINARY TRADITION By ELSIE MENASCE 'The Sephardi Culinary Tradition' encapsulates and celebrates the story of a Jewish orthodox community which existed on Rhodes until World War II. This unique book is not only about nostalgia for an age lost forever, on the contrary, Elsie Menasce's intention is to revive the spirit of the past and to recreate the atmosphere and the delectable food which was so characteristic of the community of Rhodes. The Shalom Synagogue, one of the most ancient, has been declared a word heritage site. This year will see the unveiling of the memorial stone to commemorate this momentous event The recipes of the various delicacies and dishes bring back the days of pioty, love and happiness (de alegria) which were part of life on this beautiful Aegean island.

Answer: Traditional Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews agree that the oral and written Torah are from G-d, and that the sages may rule on halachic matters. The differences in practice are mostly in culture and customs. Traditional and liberal Jews disagree on the Divine origin of the oral and written Torah, and on the ability of present-day sages and secular scholars to overrule earlier halachic decisors. Also, Sephardic Jews tend not to separate along "denominational" lines, but rather "observant" and "non-observant."

We cannot pretend that the Holocaust was a European problem experienced only by Ashkenazi Jews in Eastern Europe. - Dr. M. Mitchell Serels Claim Forms State of Israel Registration of Claims of Jews from Arab Countries International Society for Sephardic Progress Updated May 15, 2005: Sephardic Holocaust Project to create 30 minute, ready for television documentary. more Any program which teaches about the Holocaust, or any program on genocide studies would be incomplete without inclusion of the affects of the Holocaust on Sephardic Jewish communities both inside and outside of Europe. Yet, is this the case today in schools around the world. The Sephardic Holocaust Project grew out of an expansion of the earlier Farhud Recognition Project (FRP). The FRP was developed because while the entire world knew about the affects of the Holocaust in Central Europe, few knew it had extended outside of Europe. As an example of this, while most have heard of Kristallnacht, few had heard of the Farhud, where Arabs trained by the Nazis in Baghdad, killed, maimed and committed numerous atrocities against the Jewish population on the two days on the Jewish holiday of Shavuot in 1941. When we telephoned Holocaust centers around the country to initially discuss the Farhud, very few even had heard of it.

100. The Special Character Of Sephardi Tolerance From the online library of the writings of Daniel J. Elazar. http://www.jcpa.org/dje/articles2/sephtol.htm

Israel: Religion and Society The Special Character of Sephardi Tolerance Daniel J. Elazar Sephardim pride themselves on the fact that there has been no religious reformation in their historical experience to divide "Orthodox" and "Liberal" Jews. Consequently, however individual Sephardim chose to practice their Judaism, they stayed within a common fold because they are not ideologically bound to make clear-cut divisions. In any Sephardic synagogue anywhere in the world, one can find a wide mix of worshippers and a wide range of patterns of religious observance, from the very Orthodox who even imitate Ashkenazi Orthodox dress patterns to the moderately traditional who enjoy the occasional spiritual experience. Sephardim are noted for and pride themselves on being less fanatic than Ashkenazim in virtually all matters, especially religion. They certainly are not among the militant, black garbed Jews who throw stones at vehicles on the Sabbath and refuse to serve in the army. Sephardim are often bewildered by the Ashkenazic pursuit of humrot (new and more difficult halakhic refinements), because they have traditionally sought to balance the requirements of observance with those of living in order to achieve a form of religious expression that takes into consideration the whole human being, to encourage and cultivate the range of human attributes.
