Olivia and Gianna Bat Mitzvah Siddur by Debbi Ballard

The Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Not Mitzvah of

Olivia Lueddeke & Gianna Lueddeke December 17, 2020 /2 Tevet 5781 Service led by Cantor Debbi Ballard

Welcome to Olivia and Giannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Not Mitzvah. We are truly grateful you could join us in celebrating this monumental milestone for our girls, it means so much to us, thank you. This symbolic entry into adulthood for Olivia and Gianna fills our hearts with much joy and many blessings knowing that the girls are only at the beginning of their life-long spiritual journey and will continue to broaden their horizons through adulthood with many Mitzvahs along the way and to one day pass it on to their children to experience the same. This makes us very happy. We are very proud of Olivia and Gianna for all of their hard work and dedication they put in for their special day and we are equally happy for the blessings it will give them for the rest of their lives. We would like to thank Cantor Debbi and her daughter Miss Lauren for their devotion and passion in getting them there. Thank you to our families for being a part of this celebration we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier that you are sharing this special moment with all of us. With Love, Debbie and Michael

The B’Not Mitzvah Service The B’Not Mitzvah ceremony represents the time in young womens’ lives when they are invited to assume a role of leadership and responsibility in the religious service of the Jewish community. In this service, Olivia and Gianna will read several prayers in Hebrew and English. As you follow the service you will see the prayers in transliteration (Hebrew phonetically). We did this so you can be a part of the service and in so doing find it more interesting. Today marks the culmination of several months of private tutoring for Olivia and Gianna where they learned many prayers and most importantly, their meanings. The Torah contains the first five books of the Bible; a selection from the Torah is read every week throughout the Jewish liturgical year until the entire Torah has been read. Olivia and Gianna’s portion comes from the book of Genesis, the first of the Five Books of Moses. In addition to the reading from the Torah, Olivia and Gianna will be conducting a portion of today’s service as well. A Yarmulke or head covering may be worn by men or women during the service. A Tallit or prayer shawl may also be worn by Jewish men and women over the age of thirteen. Tradition states that the tallit’s fringes are reminders of the Lord’s Commandments. This prayer book you are reading is called a Siddur. Since we have specially created this prayer book for Olivia and Gianna’s B’Not Mitzvah you will see the Hebrew, English translations and transliteration. You will be asked to stand a number of times during the ceremony whenever the Torah is removed or when certain prayers are recited. During a special prayer recited for those loved ones who are no longer with us known as the Mourner’s Kaddish, the congregation will also rise. During this service, people will be called to the pulpit to recite readings and blessings before and after the Torah reading. We hope some of these explanations are helpful in creating a more rewarding service.

What it means to be a Child of the Commandments The term B’Not Mitzvah literally means “daughters of the commandments.” This is the age of accountability for a Jewish child. The thirteenth birthday traditionally meant the time when Jews became religiously adult, however this tradition is not limited only to 13 year olds. The ceremony of B’Not Mitzvah is not really a goal or end in itself. It represents a beautiful, lifelong commitment to building a relationship with God. The B’Not Mitzvah ceremony marks the first time a person will be able to read from the Torah and lead a congregation in prayer. This is a milestone in Jewish life and a cause for a celebration of the entire family. It is the hope of the Jewish people that a young person assumes the role of an adult Jew; they will become a credit to their community and to the House of Israel throughout their lives.

A Prayer for Olivia and Gianna and presentation of the Tallit Presented by Debbie and Michael Lueddeke O Lord as we stand before you on this joyous occasion we pray and we thank you for this blessing of life You have bestowed upon us. We are grateful for Olivia and Gianna and for the years of joy they have brought to us and our family. Bless them, Dear G-d, watch over them protect them, guide them, help them to continue to grow in body and mind, in soul and character. Bless them with the gifts of love and loyalty. May their lives be rich and rewarding. May all their deeds bring pride to all of us. Amen

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for families to dwell together in unity. Responsive Reading:

We have come together as a congregation, mindful that each of us is an individual, with special hopes and dreams, with personal worries and concerns. Each of us has dreams no one else can utter. Each feels joy no one else can share and regrets which others cannot know. In this uniqueness of mind and personality, we are alone. And yet we are here together. United as a congregation, we find an atmosphere that stimulates awareness and motivation. In these surroundings of personal warmth, may we seek the strength that is within ourselves. If we are discouraged, may we seek hope. If we have been careless of time, may we re-assess our goals and priorities. In the company of our family and friends, in the glowing spirit of Shabbat, may we find the inspiration to warm our hearts and revitalize our minds’ energies. Together, may we heighten our goals to achieve our own unique potential.

What is Holiness? Led by Lois Aronofsky (Please read responsively)

There is holiness when we strive to reach our highest goals, and bring to our striving the best that is within ourselves. There is holiness when we are true to ourselves and stand firmly for truth though tempted to bend. There is holiness when we choose expressions of love and kindness, rather than those of sarcasm or anger. There is holiness when we use our creative energies to celebrate, illuminate or share a thing of beauty. There is holiness when people help the weak and seek freedom. There is holiness when we are kind to someone who cannot possibly be of service to us. There is holiness when we promote family harmony. There is holiness when we forget what divides us and remember what unites us. There is holiness when we bring a moment of gladness to one who is lonely, a smile to the face of one who is sad, or help to one in need. There is holiness when we thank G-d and give praise to G-d for giving us the desire and the power to make our lives holy.

The Barchu Honor: Jacob Aronofsky For centuries the words of the Barchu have summoned our people to worship. At each service this prayer is recited to announce that formal worship has begun. Yet we know that all are drawn to prayer by more than public proclamation. We are called to worship by an inner longing, the desire to reflect on the purpose of our lives. The summons to worship finds its unique expression in every individual. The magnetism to ponder and comprehend the universe is the same. The response is formulated differently by each person according to his or her needs. (Please rise)

The Sh’ma The Sh’ma is one of the oldest prayers in the Jewish prayer book. It calls upon the Jewish people to listen. It stresses their unity and eternity. It is not an accident that Jewish people throughout the ages have died with the Sh’ma on their lips. There is great comfort in knowing that Jews everywhere recognize this tie and feel this commitment to oneness. It is almost like having an extended family of fourteen million people. The inclusion of the Sh’ma indicates that from ancient days the purpose of worship for our people was not primarily to do the will of the worshipper, but rather for the congregation to go out into the world inspired to work

Amidah - English Adaptation Led by Michael Lueddeke (Please read responsively)

We cannot merely pray to You, O G-d to end war, for we know that You have made the world in a way that humans must find their own path to peace within themselves and with their neighbor. We cannot merely pray to You, O G-d, to end starvation; for You have already given us the resources with which to feed the entire world, If we could only use them wisely. We cannot merely pray to You, O G-d, to root out prejudice; for You have already given us eyes with which to see the good in all people,If we would only use them rightly. We cannot merely pray to You, O G-d. to end despair; for You have already given us the power to clear away slums and to give hope, If we would only use our power justly. We cannot merely pray to You, O G-d, to end disease; for You have already given us great minds with which to search out cures and healings, If we would only use them constructively. Therefore, we pray to You instead, O G-d, for strength, determination, and will-power, to do instead of just to pray, to become instead of merely to wish. For Your sake and ours, speedily and soon, that our land may be safe, and that our lives may be blessed. May the words that we pray, and the deeds that we do, be acceptable to You, O G-d, Our Rock and our Redeemer. 9

D’Var Torah - Miketz Our Torah portion, Miketz, is taken from the book of Genesis, the first of the Five Books of Moses. In this story, we learn a great deal about Joseph, one of the 12 sons of Jacob. Joseph was not well liked by his brothers, because they all felt that he received special treatment from their father. Joseph knew he was special and he acted that way towards his brothers, causing a lot of anger and resentment. The brothers hated Joseph so much, they threw him in a well and abandoned him, causing him to live for many years in prison, where he became a dream interpreter. One day, the Pharaoh was having terrible dreams and wanted help understanding what they meant, and Joseph was recommended to the Pharaoh to interpret the dreams for him. The dream he had was about 7 healthy cows and 7 starving cows, and how the starving cows ate the healthy ones. This really terrified Pharaoh and he could not understand why this was happening. Joseph tells him that there was going to be a famine, and food would be very scarce, so Pharaoh put him in charge of saving enough food from the present day for the future. Eventually, the famine did occur, but there was plenty of food because Joseph did such a great job planning. Suddenly, outside of Egypt, people began traveling to Egypt to beg for food, including Joseph’s 11 brothers, who abandoned him years earlier. Now, Joseph was faced with a decision to either help his brothers by giving them food, or taking revenge on them for abandoning him many years ago. Joseph was torn between doing what was right for his family and wanting to teach his brothers a lesson. Joseph actually appreciated the many years of struggle he experienced, because now he was wealthy and respected in Egypt, and that would never have happened without those terrible experiences caused by his brothers, so he decided to be the bigger person and give his brothers food. (Olivia) If you are going to act selfish and ignore your families’ feelings, then there will be consequences. Although Joseph’s 12

brothers did a horrible thing by throwing him into a well and changing his life forever, Joseph became stronger, well respected and rich. Even though he was treated awfully in the past, he still gave his family food and water, making him a better person. If my sister did this to me, I would be very angry, but then I would soon realize that I could benefit from this by changing the ways I act toward others in the future. I would eventually forgive her and show that I am the bigger person in the end. This story taught me that no matter how tough things get you should never give up and stay strong. God is good and watching and you should forgive the people that have wronged you. I have also learned that when you struggle it makes you work even harder to achieve your goals. (Gianna) Even though Joseph was thrown away and hated by his brothers, he didn’t give up when he was at the lowest part in his life. He became strong and wealthy and when his brothers asked him for food, he still didn't turn them away. It shows that he had a kind heart and that he didn’t let his brothers’ actions have power over him. If it were my sister, I would be very sad and vengeful. I don’t think I would be strong enough for it not to have some power over me, but I think if time went by I would start to forgive her and that would prove that I am a better person than she is. This story taught me that you should never give up and that you should keep on moving forward even when times get tough because God is always with you to help you get through. It also taught me that the mistakes or struggles I make helps me improve myself and makes me stronger in what I do and how I view life.

And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favoured and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass. And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and lean-fleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river. And the ill-favoured and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good. And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them. And the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof; and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh. Then spoke the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying: 'I make mention of my faults this day: Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in the ward of the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker. And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. And there was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret. And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was: I was restored unto mine office, and he was hanged.' Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.

Aleinu Honor: Ayden Aronofsky

The Aleinu is not only one of the noblest of our prayers, it is one of the oldest. There is no question that it predates the destruction of the first Temple. The Aleinu is one of the most universal prayers. It attests to life. It voices Israel’s undying hope for the day when idolatry shall disappear, when human activities shall turn toward righteousness, when all humanity will be one body united in justice and love.

God of comfort, shield us with Your love and kindness. Help us to know that time does heal and grief will yield its final grip. May the memory of those we loved and lost strengthen our lives and guide us always in ways of goodness. God of compassion, be with us now and grant us peace.
