“Just Sunflower,” says the 5-year-old with fuzzy blond hair, a dusting of freckles across her nose and a toothless smile a mile wide. “I’ve got sunflower power!” she says before prancing away.

Kate “just call me Sunflower” Michaels is in remission from kidney cancer that was diagnosed at age 4. She’s at her weekly martial arts class, a service of Kids Kicking Cancer, a nonprofit founded in 1999 by Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg (just call him Rabbi G).

The Origins and Meanings of Ashkenazic Last Names

December 24, 2013 Leave a Comment

jewishcalendar(JewishCurrents.org) (Ed: This article has a nice summary of common “Jewish” surnames and their origins and meanings, interesting but not authoritative.)

Ashkenazic Jews were among the last Europeans to take family names. Some German-speaking Jews took last names as early as the 17th century, but the overwhelming majority of Jews lived in Eastern Europe and did not take last names until compelled to do so. The process began in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1787 and ended in Czarist Russia in 1844.

Should I Recite Ga’al Yisrael Aloud?

December 23, 2013 Leave a Comment

BuffaloBy Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff (RabbiKaganoff.com)

Question #1: As a child in shul, I noticed that shortly before the Shemoneh esrei was begun, some of the older European Jews would wait before reciting the words “Shirah chadasha” until the chazzan completed the entire beracha and said “Ga’al Yisrael.” They would answer “Amen” to the chazzan’s beracha, then complete the beracha themselves and begin the Shemoneh esrei. I no longer see anyone doing this. Were they following a correct procedure?

JFX BOYS CLUB in Telshe Yeshiva

December 19, 2013 2 Comments

telsheJFX(Telshe Email Bulletin)

This Sunday, the Jewish Family Experience (JFX) Boys Club once again came to learn at Telshe Yeshiva along with Rabbi Chaim Helman. They heard words of inspiration from Rabbi Eli Rechanik who spoke about the meaning of Shema Yisroel. The boys got the opportunity to play in the Yeshiva Gym, and of course the highlight of the trip was learning with their chavrusos in the yeshiva; Elazar Reingold, Pinchas Kohn and Moshe Koval. Having the boys visit the Yeshiva is a great experience not only for them but for the bachurim as well. We hope to see the “Boys Club” come to Telshe more often.
