the author of What You Need To Know About:
Terror (Toby Press, 2003) an accessible book

Who are we?
|
Rosh Pinah is an egalitarian chavurah which follows the practices
of Conservative Judaism. It is a fellowship of Jews
who wish to daven (pray) and congregate in an atmosphere of
respect, joy, warmth, camaraderie and trust. The Chavurah
invites anyone interested to join us for services. The Chavurah
is very participatory. Its members conduct
services, read Torah, serve as gabbayim (service
'helpers'), prepare the drashot (Torah commentary or
sermons) and the food. We will be interested in trying
different activities that will enrich our services. The Chavurah wants everyone to
have a stake in its development and a hand in its success.
We are a non-profit organization with a Board of Trustees. |
Our name: Rosh Pinah
| The name Rosh Pinah comes from Tehillim118:22 (Psalms).
The verse is recited as part of the Hallel on Rosh Chodesh and
festivals. It reads in Hebrew: even maasu habonim
haita lerosh pinah. In English "The stone that the
builders discarded has become the cornerstone". The stone
that was of no importance has become the cornerstone of a new
edifice. The name Rosh Pinah was given to one of the first
yishuvim (settlements) near Safed in the Galilee in 1882
during the first modern/secular aliyah to Israel (this
group of pioneers called themselves Hovevei Tzion, lovers
of Zion). |
