No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Would someone care to walk me through the prayers for each day? I have some good websites for the prayers and blessings in Hebrew, but I am confused which ones to pray when. As a homeschooling Mom, I can do much to help teach the blessings and prayers to my children, so I have been trying to figure out what to pray in the morning... what is said later, when (if later)... it can be confusing, but I am sure it's really quite simple, eh?

from:
http://www.thinkjewish.com/walk.html

I: THE MORNING BLESSINGS

II: THE MORNING PRAYERS


III: VERSES OF PRAISE

IV: WEEKDAY PRAYER

V: Song Of The Day

VI: Conclusion




^ Are these all to be included in morning prayer... or are some of them for later in the day, and I just don't get it yet? Another?, how many times each day is the Shema recited? Anyone have input for me?:help:

TIA!

I can't tell you how excited I am to see a woman taking up the siddur prayers!!!

Warning - start slow anmd bulid as your understanding and familarity increase or your will fold under the weight of it all!!


Well, first off - you don't do the blessing for the Torah unless you are in a Torah service; you don't do the blessings for the Tallit and T'fillin unless you are a man AND donning these items :)

More later :)

BTW - shema is twice a day - morning prayers and the bedtime shema.....

Actually, this isn't *exactly* true....

women can wear a Tallit and Tefillin. Specifically, I believe it was Rabbi Akivah's daughters who were called 'righteous' for doing so. I'll have to double check and make sure it was Akivah, but none the less, women are allowed to don such items. However, the Tallit must be of feminine colors, etc. in order to not break the mitzvah of not cross-dressing.

shalom,

True - but they were unmarried virgins - so I guess if you are an unmarried virgin and still living in your father's home - and only do it in the home, as they did - then it is ok ;)

PS At any rate, I wear a head-scarf, so never saw the point in a prayer tallit for myself ;)
