  3. Welcome to Casey’s Bat Mitzvah Mincha Service 7 Sivan 5766 The Tkhine of the Matriarchs God, creator of the worlds, You created us in six days Heaven and earth and all that is firmly planted By means of ten sayings. And on the seventh day, you rested from all those sayings, And you commanded the holy people To rest from all words, Except as they occupy themselves With the business of heaven and the secret mysteries. And thus you have given us festivals for joy And new moons for remembrance; So may we live in Jerusalem, city of beauty, The seat of the dwelling house of our Mother the Shekhinah, of all beauty. (A Prayer by Sarah Rebecca Rachel Leah Horowitz)

And a coat of many colors And not uniforms For all my people; I want rain And green furrows And houses full of peace; And lightning and thunder— In the sky; And bountiful rains On earth And a pink crocus In the ravines; And pinecones On a scented bed Of pine needles— And birds rejoicing Among leafy orchards And sails of peace On the seas; And white chrysanthemums In the parks; And red balls rolling Along the paths And the children’s laughter Speaking peace. Adapted from a poem by Esther Raab

  20. The Story of Ruth and Naomi Mother: Naomi was the wife of Elimelech and the mother of his two sons. It was a time of famine -- and great hunger drove them to leave Bethlehem, in search of the fruit and barley that would sustain them. They went to Moab, but instead of finding life there, Naomi’s husband died. In this strange land, Naomi’s sons took wives from the daughters of Moab: Orpah and Ruth. But death came also to Naomi’s sons. In her sorrow, Naomi cried: “I am no longer Naomi, once known as pleasant. Now call me Marah – now I am bitterness.” And she prepared to return to the land of her birth, Judah. She kissed her daughters in law, and said: “Go, return each of you to your mother’s house. I am old and alone and life is done for me.” She then blessed them: “The Lord grant that you find rest, each of you in the house of a husband.” And then Naomi turned away to take the path home. Daughter: Orpah kissed Naomi and went back into Moab, but Ruth threw her arms around Naomi and would not let her go. Ruth’s name meant compassion, and she begged Naomi to take her with her. “Look,” Naomi said, “Your sister-in-law went back to her people and her god. You do the same.” But Ruth would not release her. “Don’t ask me to leave you or let you go alone,” she said. “I am your daughter.” And then Ruth said to Naomi, her mother: Wherever you go, there I will go. Wherever you live, I will live there. Your people will be my people Your God will be my God We will not be parted to the end of our days We will not be parted to the end of our days Together: So Naomi returned to her home in Judah, and Ruth, her daughter-in-law, returned out of the field of Moab--and they came to Bethlehem to begin again.

  21. Blessing before the Haftarah The Haftarah is a selection from a book of the Prophets. The weekly reading of a unique section from Prophets that complements the Torah portion is a tradition of nearly two thousand years.

  22. Casey’s Haftarah: Judges 13: 2-25 Casey’s Haftarah Judges 13: 2-25

  23. Blessing after the Haftarah Siman tov Umazl tov, Umazl tov U-Siman tov   Siman tov Umazl tov, Umazl tov U-Siman tov   Siman tov Umazl tov, Umazl tov U-Siman tov  Y'he lanu   Y'he lanu, Y'he lanu   ul'chol Yisrael  Y'he lanu, Y'he lanu  ul'chol Yisrael   (return to Verse) A good sign and good luck, for us and for all of Israel.

  24. el na, refa na la אל נא רפא נא לה God, Please Heal Her, Please  (Numbers, 12:13) This was Moses’ brief, yet powerful spontaneous prayer for his sister, Miriam, after she was stricken with the biblical disease, tzara’at. Prayer for Healing

  25. And then all what has divided us will merge. And then compassion will be wedded to power. And then softness will come to a world that is often harsh and unkind. And then both men and women will be gentle. And then both women and men will be strong. And then no other person will be subject to another's will. And then all will be rich and varied. And then all will share equally in the earth's abundance. And then all will care for the sick and the weak and the old. And then all will nourish the young. And then all will cherish life's creatures. And then all will live in harmony with each other and the earth. And then everywhere will be called Eden once again. Amen. (A Prayer by Judy Chicago) We Sing And then, and then, both men and women will be gentle; And then, and then, both women and men will be strong; And then all will be so varied, rich and free; And everywhere will be called Eden once again. Sheh-heh-cheh-ya-nu

  26. The Ancient Teacher, the Eternal Spirit, has reigned since before Creation. We recall the independence of the Eternal, the Greatness of the One as the source of life and strength. From the infinite source of being, we are given a portion in life and in death We are sustained in troubled times, offered guidance and protection. If we are called upon the One, we are given the sacred hand, whether asleep or awake, entrusting our bodies and our spirits to the Source of Life, the Mystery of Creation, with whom we ought have no fear.
