A synagogue, also spelled synagog (from Greek: συναγωγή transliterated synagogē, meaning \"assembly beyt knesset, meaning \"house of assembly\"; beyt t\'fila, meaning \"house of prayer\") is a Jewish house of prayer. When broken down, the word could also mean \"learning together\" (from the Greek συν syn, together, and αγωγή agogé, learning or training Synagogues have a large hall for prayer (the main sanctuary), and can also have smaller rooms for study and sometimes a social hall and offices. Some have a separate room for Torah study, called the beit midrash(Sfard) \"beis midrash (Ashkenaz)—בית מדרש (\"House of Study\"). Synagogues are consecrated spaces that can be used only for the purpose of prayer; however a synagogue is not necessary for worship. Communal Jewish worship can be carried out wherever ten Jews (a minyan) assemble. Worship can also be carried out alone or with fewer than ten people assembled together. However there are certain prayers that are communal prayers and therefore can be recited only by a minyan. The synagogue does not replace the long-since destroyed Temple in Jerusalem. Israelis use the Hebrew term beyt knesset (assembly house). Jews of Ashkenazi descent have traditionally used the Yiddish term \"shul\" (cognate with the German Schule, school) in everyday speech. Spanish and Portuguese Jews call the synagogue an esnoga. Persian Jews and Karaite Jews use the term Kenesa, which is derived from Aramaic, and some Arabic-speaking Jews use knis. Some Reform and Conservative Jews use the word \"temple\". The Greek word \"Synagogue\" is a good all-around term, used in English (and German and French), to cover the preceding possibilities. Judaica silverware used in synagogues and Jewish household ceremonies. They include TORAH SHIELd, RIMMONIM - TORAH FINIAL, YAD -TORAH POINTER, Chanukah LAMP - MENORAH , ETROG CONTAINER (SPICE BOX - ESROG BOX), KIDDUSH CUP (KIDDUSH GOBLET - KIDDUSH BEAKER), SPICE TOWER Since ancient times silver was the preferred material for making the Kiddush cups, Hanukkah lamps, Torah decorations and the dozens of other objects used in observing the \'Mitzvot\' (commandments). Although silver has been important in the fashioning of secular and religious objects for millennia, very little that was made specifically for Jewish ritual use before the 16th century has survived. Most of the objects we know of in museum and private collections of Judaica date from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. \'Judaica\' is highly appreciateds by antique silver collectors and Sotheby\'s and other primary sale houses dedicate specific sales to this theme. In Europe, Jews were not normally allowed to be silversmiths or goldsmiths because they were excluded from membership in the guilds. So, many of the ceremonial objects in Judaica collections, though used by Jewish communities, were made by non-Jewish manufacturers or artisans on commission. As a result, there are often mistakes in the Hebrew because the people who made the objects didn\'t know Hebrew and could only copy it from inscriptions written out for them. The Judaic ceremonial art had its first public display in the late 19th century. The collecting and displaying of Jewish ceremonial art for aesthetic as well as educational purposes was unknown until the nineteenth century, as up to that time they were used only in the life cycle and holiday ceremonies in the home and in the synagogue. Some Jewish ceremonial objects were displayed in 1875 in the Amsterdam Historische Tentoonstelling and a private collection of eighty-two objects was displayed in 1878 at the Exposition Universale of Paris. The first major independent public display on Judaica art was held in the 1887 Anglo-Jewish Historical Exhibition, and its 2945 items catalog was the first significant catalog of Jewish art.

Because enhancing a mitzvah by performing it with an especially beautiful object is considered a praisworthy way of honoring God\'s commandments, Judaism has a long tradition of commissioning ritual objects from highly regarded craftworkers and artists. Objects by type Haggadah of Pesach The tradition of artistically embellished haggadahs dates back to the Middle Ages. the Sarajevo Haggadah of 1350 is a celebrated example. Major contemporary artists have produced notable haggadahs, such as the Szyk Hagaddah. Chanukah menorahs The menorah used on the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is perhaps the most widely produced article of Jewish ceremonial art The Lindo lamp is a particularly fine example by an 18th-century silversmith. Contemporary artists often design menorahs, such at the gold-plated brass menorah with 35 moveable branches designed by Yaakov Agam. A silver menorah by Ze\'ev Raban from the 1930\'s is in the Judaica Collection of the North Carolina Museum of Art. Spice boxes The close of the Jewish Shabbat is marked by the brief prayer ceremony of Havdalah, which usually takes place in the home. Part of the ceremony requires sniffing a sweet-smelling spice or plant. In Jewish communities around the Mediterranean, a sprig of a sweet-smelling shrub was customarily used, in Northern Europe by the twelfth century there are literary references of the use of a specially designed spice box or container. The oldest surviving spice boxes for Havdalah date to the mid-sixteenth century. The Jewish Museum (New York) has an German example c. 1550 thought to originate in Frankfurt am Main. Museum Collections Museums with notable collections of Jewish ceremonial art include the Israel Museum, the Jewish Museum (London), the Jewish Museum in Prague, the North Carolina Museum of Art and the Jewish Museum (New York). The Hanukkah menorah (Hebrew: מנורה menorah) (also Hebrew: חַנֻכִּיָּה‎ hanukiah, or chanukkiyah, pl. hanukiyot/chanukkiyot, or Yiddish: חנוכּה לאמפּ khanike lomp, lit.: Hanukkah lamp) is, strictly speaking, a nine-branched candelabrum lit during the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah, as opposed to the seven-branched menorah used in the ancient Temple or as a symbol. The ninth holder, called the shamash (\"helper or servant\"), is for a candle used to light all other candles. The menorah is among the most widely produced articles of Jewish ceremonial art The menorah is a traditional symbol of Judaism, along with the Magen David.Origins Hanukkah celebrates the rededication of the Temple after the successful Jewish revolt against the Seleucid monarchy. The Jews found only enough ritually pure olive oil to light the menorah for one day, but the supply miraculously lasted eight days until a new supply could be obtained. In celebration of this miracle, the Hanukkah menorah has eight branches for eight candles or oil lamps, none higher than any other. These lamps are not to be used for secular purposes, such as providing the sole source of light or heat for the room. The Hanukkah menorah has a ninth branch for an auxiliary candle, the shamash, that, by shedding its own light, keeps the other candles from inadvertently serving any purpose other than their ritual one. The shamash is also used to light the other candles. The holder for the shamash candle is generally distinguished in some way from the other eight, traditionally being placed higher than the others, and often in the center, with four of the other candles on each side. In addition to the shamash, on the first night one candle is placed in the holder on the far right, and is lit using either the shamash or a different candle or match. Each night afterwards for the next seven nights, one additional candle is kindled. The candles are placed in the Hanukkah menorah from right to left and kindled from left to right. The manner of lighting one additional candle each night follows the opinion of the House of Hillel, which was accepted as Jewish law. The House of Shammai disagreed; it held that eight candles should be kindled the first night, seven the second night, and so on down to one candle on the last night.Many museums have notable collections of Hanukkah menorahs, including the Israel Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art,and the Jewish Museum, which owns the Lindo lamp. Name In the English-speaking diaspora, the lamp is most commonly called a \"Hanukkah menorah,\" whereas in Modern Hebrew it is exclusively called a chanukkiyah, and the Hebrew word menorah simply means \"lamp\". The term chanukkiyah was coined at the end of the nineteenth century in Jerusalem by the wife of Eliezer Ben Yehuda, the reviver of the Hebrew language. The parts of the menorah that hold the candle at the top of each arm are called \"candle cups\". Kiddush is performed at the beginning of Jewish Sabbat and Jewish festival meals. The purpose of the kiddush is to remind Jews of the sanctity of the day, one must \"remember it\" by making arrangements specifically through the kiddush ceremonty. It is customary to put the wine or grape juice used in the kiddush ritual into a decorated goblet called a kiddush cup. Kiddush cups are often given as gifts at a child\'s bris, bar-mitzvah, bat-mitzvah or wedding. Hamsa, or \"five\", represents the protective \"Hand of God\", therefore the Hamsa is a very popular symbol for protection against the evil eye, and promoting good luck. The Hamsa is a meaningful gift expressing love and good will. These decorative Passover Seder plates are made of a variety of materials: pewter, silver, ceramic and glass. The Seder plate is a traditional essential item for every Jewish household. Groggers, or noisemakers are used in the synagogue during reading of Megillat Esther on Purim, whenever the name of the wicked \"Haman\" is mentioned The dreidel is a Chanukah game, as a reminder Greek-Syrian decrees prohibiting the Jews to learn Torah. The children would secretly meet to learn, and when the soldiers appeared, they would quickly pull out their dreidels and pretend to be playing a game. The Mezuzah (plural \"Mezuzot\") must be affixed to the outer thresholds of every Jewish house. We offer a variety of tastefully decorated Mezuzot for your own use or as Jewish gifts. They feature traditional Jewish themes and Judaica motifs. The Tallit is a traditional fringed Jewish prayer shawl Simchat Torah or Simḥath Torah (also Simkhes Toreh, Hebrew: שִׂמְחַת תּוֹרָה, lit., \"Rejoicing with/of the Torah,\") is a celebration marking the conclusion of the annual cycle of public Torah readings, and the beginning of a new cycle. Simchat Torah is a component of the Biblical Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret (\"Eighth Day of Assembly\"), which follows immediately after the festival of Sukkot in the month of Tishrei (mid-September to early October on the Gregorian calendar).The main celebration of Simchat Torah takes place in the synagogue during evening and morning services. In many Orthodox and Conservative congregations, this is the only time of year on which the Torah scrolls are taken out of the ark and read at night. In the morning, the last parashah of Deuteronomy and the first parashah of Genesis are read in the synagogue. On each occasion, when the ark is opened, all the worshippers leave their seats to dance and sing with all the Torah scrolls in a joyous celebration that often lasts for several hours and more. The morning service is also uniquely characterized by the calling up of each male member (in some Orthodox and the majority of non-Orthodox congregations, male and female members) of the congregation for an aliyah, as well as a special aliyah for all the children in attendance. There is a 300 year old history of Simchat Torah Flags and why they carry the designs they do. In October of 2011, the Eretz Yisrael Museum in Tel Aviv held an exhibition of simchat Torah Flags starting in 1940 with the establishment of the State of Israel. The Flags were a microcosm of the changes that Israel has been through in the last 60+ years. Our Flag is also representative of change. Last year, some of our congregations were looking for Simchat Torah Flags and voiced their frustration that they could only find Flags that were relevant to the orthodox Jewish world. We needed a Flag that is inclusive of disabilities, gender, ethnicity – representing all of the Jewish people. And so, we created one. Almost all of the countries where there is an active Masorti community are represented on our Flag. There are even more countries with Masorti kehillot that aren’t on the Flag, only because we didn’t have the space! The blue Torah in the center of the Flag is a Sephardi Torah which is housed in a box like case. This Torah is read by Jews of Sephardi origin (such as Morocco or Spain) and is read from the case with the Torah standing up! This goes to prove that the Jewish people is an international one with common values, a common Torah and an unbreakable link one to the other. The Torah cover on the left side read: “Ki Mitzion Tetzei Torah” – from Zion [Israel] shall come forth Torah. One of the links of course that binds us all together is the state of Israel. Our movement is a Zionist one and it is important to us that Israel is a part of each holiday and of our daily religious life. That is why the Israeli Flags sits in the middle in a place of honor, larger than the others. Wherever Jews live they have always turned their hearts and support toward Israel. The banner reads “sisu v’simchu b’Simchat Torah” a favorite song of this holiday. But why Hebrew? Why not English? Or German? Or Spanish? Hebrew is the common language of Jews and of the State of Israel. Even if we aren’t in our homes, we can feel at home when we hear the familiar sounds of prayers being chanted in Hebrew. And we can always greet our fellow Jews wherever they live with a wish for Shalom. The Aron Kodesh or Ark is a familiar site at synagogues around the world. Written on the aron kodesh are the words “darcheha darchei noam” – all of its [The Torah’s] paths, are paths of peace. Usually, we would write the word “noam” without the vav – just nun – ayin – mem sofit. But it is a secret clue to our own NOAM OLAMI youth movement. Can you spot our NOAM Olami members in their green shirts? Whether you are in USY, NOAM UK or NOAM in Latin America, NOAM Olami connects our youth builds next generation’s leaders. Even though the look of the Flag may be retro, the values are what we expect to see in our modern day kehillot. A group of grandparents, parents and children dancing together in a circle that represents the passing of our tradition from one to another. No one is excluded – all are included regardless of race, gender or disability. On the left side of the Flag, you see parents looking on and participating joyfully as their children continue the tradition of celebrating the Torah and their Jewish identities. On the right side, you see generations even further back, from Herzl, who looks on in pleasure to see the centrality of the State of Israel in our hearts and minds – to Moses who gave us the Torah – to Miriam who always led the Jewish people in song and in joy. This Flag would not have been possible without the support and partnership of the World Zionist Organization and the ongoing participation in all of our projects. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF; Hebrew: צְבָא הַהֲגָנָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵ Tzva Hahagana LeYisra\'el \"The Army of Defense for Israel\"; Arabic: جيش الدفاع الإسرائيلي‎ Jaysh ad-Difāʻ al-Isrāʼīlī ), commonly known in Israel by the Hebrew acronym Tzahal (צה\"ל), are the military forces of the State of Israel. They consist of the ground forces, air force, and navy. It is the sole military wing of the Israeli security forces, and has no civilian jurisdiction within Israel. The IDF is headed by its Chief of General Staff, the Ramatkal, subordinate to the Defense Minister of Israel; Rav Aluf Benny Gantz has served as Chief of Staff since 2011. An order from Defense Minister David Ben-Gurion on 26 May 1948, officially set up the Israel Defense Forces as a conscript army formed out of the paramilitary group Haganah, incorporating the militant groups Irgun and Lehi. The IDF served as Israel\'s armed forces in all the country\'s major military operations—including the 1948 War of Independence, 1951–1956 Retribution operations, 1956 Sinai War, 1964–1967 War over Water, 1967 Six-Day War, 1967–1970 War of Attrition, 1968 Battle of Karameh, 1973 Operation Spring of Youth, 1973 Yom Kippur War, 1976 Operation Entebbe, 1978 Operation Litani 1982 Lebanon War 1982–2000 South Lebanon conflict, 1987–1993 First Intifada, 2000–2005 Second Intifada, 2002 Operation Defensive Shield, 2006 Lebanon War, 2008–2009 Gaza War, 2012 Operation Pillar of Defense, and others. The number of wars and border conflicts in which IDF was involved in its short history, makes it one of the most battle-trained armed forces in the world. While originally the IDF operated on three fronts—against Lebanon and Syria in the north, Jordan and Iraq in the east, and Egypt in the south—after the 1979 Egyptian–Israeli Peace Treaty, it has concentrated its activities in southern Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories, including the First and the Second Intifada. The Israel Defense Forces differs from most armed forces in the world in many ways. Differences include the conscription of women and its structure, which emphasizes close relations between the army, navy, and air force. Since its founding, the IDF has been specifically designed to match Israel\'s unique security situation. The IDF is one of Israeli society\'s most prominent institutions, influencing the country\'s economy, culture and political scene. In 1965, the Israel Defense Forces was awarded the Israel Prize for its contribution to education.The IDF uses several technologies developed in Israel, many of them made specifically to match the IDF\'s needs, such as the Merkava main battle tank, high tech weapons systems, the Iron Dome, Trophy countermeasure, and the Galil and Tavor assault rifles. The Uzi submachine gun was invented in Israel and used by the IDF until December 2003, ending a service that began in 1954. Following 1967, the IDF has had close military relations with the United States, including development cooperation, such as on the F-15I jet, THEL laser defense system, and the Arrow missile defense system.
