I would like to focus your attention on the redemptive significance of the number fifteen once again as we approach this special time in our history, development as a people, and personal lives. Let us remember that during Pesach we have the potential to enter a new realm – to undertake a fifteen step spiritual journey through time and space – from enslavement and persecution, through liberation, and ultimately to redemption by a loving God. Focusing on the seven ways in which the number fifteen permeates our Seders may bring us closer to experiencing the Divine Presence in our lives. (4) In the Torah scroll, Shirat ha-Yam (the Song of the Sea), which is sung by Moshe and the Israelites after God rescued them from the pursuing Egyptians (Exodus 15), is written as a poem in three vertical columns. The center column, which appears to be an ascending ladder, has fifteen steps. (5) There were fifteen steps on the southern side of the Temple Mount that led up to the sacred Temple in Jerusalem. (6) There are fifteen psalms (Psalm 120134) that begin with the words Shir HaMa’alot, “A Song of the Steps” that were sung by the Levites on the fifteen steps of the Temple. (An alternative interpretation of these psalms is found in the Babylonian Talmud (Tractate Pesachim 8a) What are these seven -- According to Rabbi occurrences of the number Yochanan, these fifteen psalms fifteen in our Seder? (1) There are to be recited as part of are fifteen parts to the Seder. (2) Hallel, the fourteenth “step” of We celebrate Passover on the our Seder.) There are fifteen fifteenth day of Nisan. (3) We words in the Priestly Blessing praise God for the fifteen (Birkat Kohanim). And, in ascending favors (Ma’alot gematria, the system of Tovot) God bestowed upon us equating Hebrew letters with when we join together to sing their corresponding numbers, “Dayeinu.” yud-hey, the first two letters of March—April Schedule See Inside for Pesach Schedule Friday Evening Services: 7:30 p.m. Shabbat Morning: 9:00 a.m. Torah Study Shabbat Services: 10 a.m. Sunday Minyan: 9:30 a.m. Family Shabbat led by Gail Vail March 16th & April 20th @10:30 a.m. Kabbalat Shabbat @ JCC , Friday, March 22nd & April 26th @ 6pm in the Senior Lounge Find Temple Events on our online calendar at www.tbdrochester.org; find out what is going on or submit a new event for the calendar.

Rabbi Aviva Berg [email protected] (Continued from page 1) (and often shorthand for) God’s name is 15 (yud = 10 and hey = 5). By singing and enacting the fifteen steps of our Seders, we not only experience the entire Book of Exodus, we also connect ourselves to the fifteen steps the Israelites took during their celebration of Passover in Temple times. Coming to Jerusalem from all over the Land of Israel, the people would approach the Temple Mount. There, they would hear the Levites sing the fifteen psalms of praise to God -- one on each of the fifteen steps of the Temple; they would receive the Minimum Donations 585-319-4407 Priestly Blessing by the specially adorned priests on those same stairs, and then would ascend those steps, bringing their offerings and gifts before God in, all of God’s exaltedness. The fifteen steps, psalms, and words of blessing were meant to prepare the Israelites before they encountered God’s awesomeness – the Divine Presence dwelling in the cloud of aromatic incense enveloping the Temple. fifteenth step of our Seder, we seek to come closer to God. We seek to establish a mutuallyloving Divine-human relationship, this year in Rochester … next year in Jerusalem. As we prepare our minds to travel through sacred time, beginning with kadesh, (the sanctification of time), the first step of our Seder, through nirtzah, (acceptance) the (Many thanks to the beautiful and inspiring thoughts expressed by Rabbi Nathan Laufer in his book, “Leading the Passover Journey – The Seder’s Meaning Revealed, the Haggadah’s Story Retold.”) Chag Kasher v’Same’ach Office Closed Tuesday, March 26th & Wednesday, March 27th for Pesach Memorial Plaque Non Member $270.00 $414.00 Cemetery Plots In Riverside Member Non-Member $600.00 $800.00 Rabbi Aviva Berg New Lower Minimum Donation!
