This version of the Haggadah for Tu BiShvat has been greatly adapted by Rabbi Arthur Waskow of The Shalom Center from a Haggadah shaped by Ellen Bernstein, as published in  Trees, Earth, and Torah: A Tu B’Shvat Anthology  (Jewish Publication Society, 1999, ed. by Elon, Hyman, & Waskow). Bernstein wrote introductory remarks to sections of that Haggadah, many of which have been included or adapted for this one. They are indicated in the text by the initials “EB.” [1] This Tu BiShvat...

This is a seder for eating auspicious foods on Rosh Hashanah. Rabbi R.

The goal of this project was to produce a complete prayerbooklet for the Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma’ariv service that was as compact as possible yet user-friendly. This booklet is designed to be printed on 9 double-sided sheets of paper, folded and saddle stapled. It was commissioned for a minyan held annually at the  Arisia science fiction convention  in Boston, MA, and dedicated in honor of Leonard Nimoy, z”l (1931–2015).

This is a complete* Jewish Renewal/Reconstructionist Machzor for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, primarily influenced by the davennin of Reb Zalman and the  Aquarian Minyan . All text in English is gender-neutral. All Hebrew prayers are accompanied by transliteration. Material for Shabbat is at the back of the book. Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur prayers are combined (so some pages need to be skipped depending), but there should be a minimum of flipping back and forth. * NOTE: It does not contain a...

This prayer-leaflet is primarily intended for a group of Hebrew Union College students who meet every sabbath afternoon for extra-curricular (noncredit) Torah study. It is fitting, therefore, that their weekly gatherings should begin with the Sabbath Minḥah Service; and it was for that purpose that this leaflet was compiled. The service is conducted entirely in Hebrew and in the traditional   nusaḥ . We have omitted only the various repetitions as well as the prayer for the restoration of...
