Hanukkah resources from Cantor Coyot.

Live from the Clergy Suite, the clergy discuss one of the original intersections of tradition and innovation: the holiday of Hanukkah. Rabbis Klein Miles, Nickerson, Frimmer and Cantor Coyot discuss the historical narrative of war (the Maccabees and the Seleucid army) followed by a rabbinic reinvention focusing on faith and light. How does these stories shape our practices today? In what ways are we adding our own innovations to this beloved tradition? How might your Hanukkah celebration look different this year?

Conversation with Cantor Tifani Coyot and Cantorial Soloist Rabbi Jaclyn Cohen moderated by Rabbi Joel Nickerson.

At Temple Isaiah the cantorial department oversees and helps the rest of the clergy and staff create the vision around Music, Ritual, Spirituality and Prayer.

How does being a mother/parent influence the way we craft the ritual, music and prayer at Isaiah?

How has your understanding of ritual and prayer influenced your parenting?

What music and rituals happen in your home?

Why that piece of music? Do your sons and husbands have a favorite Jewish song?

For those of us who are not musicians or clergy…what strategies would you recommend for them to add to their parenting?

Congregant Sam Surloff shares his personal connection to Tree of Life and his sister's unexpected decision to stay home rather than attend shul on that tragic Saturday morning.

Cantorial Soloist, Rabbi Jaclyn Cohen offers a reflection (kavanah) on Solidarity Shabbat.

Cantor Coyot shares a reflection (kavanah) on legacy and healing to remember Pittsburgh.

Rabbi Zoë Klein Miles offers three reflections (kavanot) during Solidarity Shabbat.

TEN COMMANDMENTS

When I first learned the Ten Commandments, I was disappointed. The Israelites went through all that to learn not to murder? Really? Isn’t that obvious? Maybe not.

HEALING

Rabbi Klein Miles speaks about the Walking Wounded, the thousands who now move through the world with bullet wounds.

ELEVEN ARE THE STARS

In the Pesach song, “Who Knows One,” when it comes to the number “eleven”, the verse is: “Eleven are the stars.” The stars in the song refer to the stars in Joseph’s dream, but now, for us, eleven are the stars stand for those who were killed at Tree of Life synagogue: Joyce Feinberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Irving Younger, and Melvin Wax.
