Shabbat Morning Services
Join the Ansche Chesed community for a traditional Conservative Shabbat morning prayer service. We will recite prayers for healing during our morning services. Since most participants will be muted, you won't get to call out the name of those you have in mind. If you'd like to give Rabbi Kalmanofsky the name of an ailing friend or loved one, please email the names to him at RJK@AnscheChesed.org and include your relationship to the person you are praying for. When/if the person you've been praying for is doing better, please let us know, so we can joyfully remove them from this list!

UPCOMING SPECIAL PROGRAMS |

Community Shabbat Dinner in YOUR Home
|
Of the many things that we miss since the onset of the pandemic has been Ansche Chesed Shabbat Dinners. They have always been an opportunity to pray together, to celebrate Shabbat together, to eat together, to learn together… to be together.
While we still can not come together in person, we can still enjoy Shabbat as a community. We invite you to join us for an instrumental Kabbalat Shabbat beginning at 6:15pm, and Maariv beginning at 6:40pm, have a shared catered dinner in our own homes prepared by our own Bruce Soffer of Chef’s Table (which you will pick up from Ansche Chesed on Friday, between 4 and 5:30pm).
After dinner, Hazzan Hirschhorn will lead us in Shabbat Zemirot singing, and Rabbi Hammerman will help us get ready for Pesach, in an interactive program about "Schmutz, Schmaltz and Schlivovitz" (try saying that 3 times fast!).
We hope you will join us in creating a new Shabbat experience filled with song, prayer, wonderful food and community.
(Registration deadline Tuesday, March 16)

Nashira The Jewish Chorale of Greater Philadelphia presents Singing Through Struggle: A Virtual Chorale Festival
|
If the past year has done nothing else, it has illuminated for us the profound need for social justice in our country, and around the world. Music has always been an integral part of the struggle for civil rights, for equality, for religious freedom, for… justice. And the music of the Jewish people has always reflected our deep commitment to the struggle for a more just world.
Join Hazzan Natasha Hirschhorn and Ansche Chesed's Shirei Chesed Chorus, when we will present a day of music and conversation exploring the theme of "Singing through Struggle." We will join hands with our brothers and sisters from other minority communities to sing, share our stories, and reflect on our shared commitment to the fight for a more just world, as reflected in our music.

Interfaith Service of Remembrance and Hope
|
Exactly one year ago on this date, officials announced the first two Covid-19 deaths in our city and state. Since then, this terrible virus has killed nearly 30,000 of our fellow city residents, nearly 48,000 in our state, more than 500,000 nationwide, and more than 2.5 million across the globe.
Every human community has been diminished. Let us restore ourselves by joining with our neighbors. Please join our Ansche Chesed community, along with Grace Church of Harlem, Hillside Islamic Center, and Marble Collegiate Church, on this grim anniversary, to mourn what we've lost and to renew our strength.

Technology, as they say, is always changing.

Hillel’s Burrito, the Spanish Pesach Bunny, and Pomegranates From the Sea: Seder Gems from Fruits of Freedom, the Torah Flora Hagadah
|
Much of the Pesach seder is rooted in the history of Jewish food and agriculture. Dr. Greenberg will present some of this forgotten Pesach lore that he recovered during his research for this unique and important new Hagadah. Come learn about the German rabbi who reversed the meaning of maror by replacing it with vermouth herbs; how ancient rabbis used botany, physics, and sophisticated culinary techniques to explain the Paschal lamb barbecue; and how the potential conflicts between Torah and science over leaning left at the seder and baking matzah in the southern hemisphere have been resolved.
Dr. Jon Greenberg is one of the very few living biblical and talmudic ethnobotanists. He is often consulted by rabbis and other scholars for his broad knowledge of this area.

Singing Our Way Into Freedom
With Cantor Hirschhorn and special musical guests
|
It is impossible to imagine celebrating Passover without a song. From The Song of the Sea to Dayeynu to Chad Gadya, this season is brimming with great tunes that link us to our shared history and invoke many joyous, and sometimes poignant, memories of seders past. On our second Pesach in isolation, we may be able to relate to our ancestor’s experience of pain and affliction much more easily than usual. Yet we also affirm our belief that we will soon leave this narrow place behind, together. Join us on Tuesday night to sing many old favorites and new discoveries.

Who Knows Four?: Inclusion and Exclusion in the Passover Seder
|
Why is the number four so important in the Passover Seder? Join Rabbi Bill Plevan to study the passage of the four children from the Haggadah and similar Rabbinic texts. Are these texts inclusive or exclusive? What can we learn from these texts about the tension between maintaining standards of behavior (moral or religious) and achieving inclusive community?
Rabbi Bill Plevan holds rabbinic ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary and a doctorate in Religion from Princeton University where he wrote his dissertation on the German-Jewish philosopher Martin Buber.

Family Memoir Workshop: The Holiday Meal
|
Nothing says family like food. But how do you tell your family’s story when there are so many meals to choose from? The Family Memoir Workshop invites you and your family—wherever they are—to join us for a virtual class as we discover new ways to put our stories on the page.
Within family clusters, you’ll decide on a shared holiday meal—Passover, Hanukkah, the break-fast following Yom Kippur—and then each of you will write it from your own individual perspective. Sharing these stories will let you see the same event through someone else’s eyes and bring you even closer to both the story and each other. Join us with your parents, children, siblings, or cousins, and together we’ll learn what it means to write about food and the significant role it plays in your family, culture, and community.

Preparing For Pesach
Passover 5781 begins on Saturday evening, March 27. When the eve of Pesach falls on Shabbat, cleaning and disposing of Hametz should happen on Friday, a day before the prohibitions on eating or possessing Hametz actually kick in. (As if Covid was not complication enough.)
The most important information
Hametz Times
Last time to eat Hametz on Saturday morning, March 27, is 10:56 am.
Last time to renounce and “destroy” Hametz is 11:59 am.
Now, here are some more specific and handy notes.
Selling Hametz
To designate Rabbi Kalmanofsky to sell your hametz, please fill out this form by noon on Friday, March 26. As always, it is virtuous to contribute to Passover Tzedaka through the Rabbi's Discretionary Fund. Rabbi Kalmanofsky will be honored to be your agent in donating to feed hungry Jews celebrating Passover, and non-Jews sustaining their families.
Checking For Hametz
Symbolically scour your house by candlelight for the last leftover Hametz on Thursday afternoon, March 25. Recite the blessing as normal.
Destroying Hametz
On Friday morning at the usual time (up to 11:59 this year) – or if you forget, at least before Shabbat – you should physically remove from your house and destroy (nearly) all your remaining Hametz. But since you’re free to save some Hametz to eat on Shabbat night and morning, don’t yet recite the ritual renunciation [Kol hamira…]. Recite that ritual formulation on Shabbat morning itself, not later than 11:59 am, this year.
Our sale of Hametz is largely symbolic, mainly applying to products too expensive to destroy. If you can afford to toss that box of pasta, you should, or find someone and give a gift. When destroying Hametz we typically burn it. But that is not the only method. You can crumble, scatter and flush it as well. Due to Covid and construction at AC, this year we will not have a fire on Friday March 25.
Eating Hametz
You’re free to save Hametz to eat on Friday night and Saturday morning up until 10:56 am. Please keep it separate and then throw away the crumbs.
And then … have a sweet and kosher Pesach!

To Schmooze or not to Schmooze: The Un-Distancing Hour
|
Before the pandemic, Kiddush has traditionally been a way for people at Ansche Chesed to connect with one another, to share milestones, to kvetch and moan a bit, to express support to friends who are going through one of life's many struggles, or even to share a joke. It's informal, unstructured, and enables people to check in and out as they please. The Pre-Shabbat Un-Distancing Hour is a way to enable people to get together and continue doing that with one another, for one another.
So join us with your paper cup of seltzer or beverage of your choice. Looking forward to schmoozing.

Most of the Bible reads as God's communication to humanity, in messages delivered through prophets like the unique Moses and his successors, Isaiah, Jeremiah and the rest. But in the Book of Psalms, Israel turns toward heaven and pours out its praises, hopes, fears and laments.
Please join Rabbi Kalmanofsky for a 30-minute Zoom study of one Psalm each Tuesday morning. 8:30am, to explore the human poetry that reveals our ancestors' spiritual life. (You don't have to join the 7:30 am morning service immediately before the class ... but it would be a terrific lead-in!)

Talmud Study With Rabbi Kalmanofsky:
Taking Responsibility and Fixing Mistakes

This year we will study some of the Talmud’s lengthy examination of torts, the complicated economic damages people can cause. Bava Kamma chapter 9 examines the laws of robbery, fraud and the restitution those criminals must make.
