Yom Kippur Prayers

Yom Kippur Prayers, Jews celebrated the start of Yom Kippur – widely considered the most important of all Jewish holidays – and the holding of the High Holy Days.

On September 8, the period of 10 days began with Rosh Hashanah.

While that day is the Jewish New Year, Yom Kippur is a day for introspection and atonement.

“It’s interesting,” said Arava Talve, B’nai Mitzvah Coordinator at Temple Sinai in Palm Desert. “In fact, start a new year and 10 days later to make atonement.”

Yom Kippur is a time for Jews to repent of sins done in the past year, he said. People celebrate the holiday – which lasts until sunset today – quickly and spend much of their day in prayer in the synagogue or other place of worship.

“Of course young children, the elderly and those who need to take medication are encouraged to have food and water, when needed,” said Rabbi Sally Olins Temple Isaiah in Palm Springs. “For Yom Kippur, fasting represents atonement. It is a day we can say that we are willing to change for the better and follow through with it.”

This year is special for Bob Fey of Palm Springs, who serves as president of the congregation for the Temple Isaiah, and has been a member for 63 years.

“My grandson, who is 3, Yom Kippur is celebrated in this temple this year,” he said. “Five generations of my family who have been held in this temple Yom Kippur? I still remember my grandfather sitting in the front row in 1956.

“For me, Yom Kippur is about family. Our personal families, but also our family in the temple,” he said.

To Pearl White, 94, of Palm Springs, which has been a member of Temple Isaiah in 1977, the ceremony is especially moving.

“I love the prayer spoken on Yom Kippur.’re Beautiful. They are serene,” he said. “For me, Yom Kippur is to belong to, and celebrating with a community.”

Yom Kippur 2010

Yom Kippur 2010, Holiest of Jewish holidays begins; the congregation of a synagogue in Florida faces the loss of your building and Torah in a foreclosure action of the bank.

A bankruptcy judge will schedule a hearing to determine whether to allow the bank to foreclose on the assets of the synagogue for the failure to make payments on a loan of 3.8 million, according to court documents in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Congregation Chabad Lubavitch of Boynton Beach called for greater protection for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June after Stonegate Bank sued to foreclose on assets. The synagogue cited “the recession, the values of real estate and finance.” His lawyer also said in a telephone interview that Stonegate was not good on his promise of funding.

“Not that they could not make payments,” said Philip Landau, a lawyer for the synagogue. “The mortgage was made with the understanding of bond financing for the loan.

“That never happened bond financing.” Landau said in Shraiberg, Ferrara & Landau PA in Boca Raton, Florida. “The bank has not fulfilled its promise.”

Robert Furr, a lawyer from Fort Lauderdale-based Stonegate Bank, did not respond to messages left for comment. David Seleski, Stonegate president was not immediately available.

The hearing on the request of the bank to continue the execution was scheduled for 24 September. Because that is the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, the bankruptcy judge agreed to choose another date, “said Landau.

Automatic suspension

The bankruptcy laws automatically freezes lawsuits against the presentation of the party; a judge may lift a stay. The bank asked the judge to allow it to proceed with a lawsuit that could take the assets of the synagogue.

“The bank has a lien on all goods, so that the Torah are within your property,” Landau said in the interview.

Chabad Lubavitch sued the bank in a Florida state court charged with fraud and false statements promising that the loan would be “the first of three that would result in a bond offering, according to an amended lawsuit filed in March.

The synagogue used to repay a mortgage loan and the loan earlier and planned to raise funds to expand into a vacant lot next to the temple. When the housing market in South Florida, “went into a tailspin,” according to the complaint in March, the bank “decided to unilaterally change the second and third phase” of the agreement.

Seeking a meeting

Landau said he is seeking a meeting with the bank’s lawyers to try to reach a compromise.

“We are hopeful in the coming weeks we can sit down with the banks,” said Landau. “The term of the loan and the loan amount is to be restructured.”

The original loan agreement was signed in October 2007 with a 7.4 percent rate of interest and a maturity date 18 months later. A revised agreement in April 2009 extended the maturity of October and the interest rate fell to 5.5 percent.

The bank received the last payment in July 2009, according to court documents. Stonegate is due and 4.56 million, including interest and fees, he said.

Stonegate asked the judge for permission to contact the members of the synagogue to determine if a plan to donate all that was promised from their income seems to be largely dependent upon receipt of pledges. “Landau said, the judge denied the request. The decision has not been submitted in the dossier.

The synagogue list of its total assets and 9 million and its debts and 4,150,000 at the time of Chapter 11.

Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur, A science-fiction premise spoilers-ish first-come event! Of clones bred for the express purpose of harvesting organs is treated on a small scale, humanized Mark Romanek adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel (unread by me). In fact, the history of the union between Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Tommy (Andrew Garfield) and Ruth (Keira Knightley), three clones and grow together, it is so intimate and human scale, which sometimes wanders in generic boarding school love-triangulation, with intelligent sensitivity Kathy juxtaposed with the more opportunistic, Ruth dominant struggle in silence for the great heart of lovable misfit Tommy. Carey Mulligan has enough looks pensive, sad-eyed face in developing their own proprietary Mulligan (apply directly to rain streaked glass!), Which, I must say, it is preferable to Elijah Wood’s face and match perfectly with Isobel Meikle-Small, who plays the younger version of Kathy. Both actresses intelligence ‘sad invited to loads of empathy, and even Garfield (the man who would be Spidey) Tommy chooses to play as if it were to fall or collapse in a heap of spare parts at any time, all three adult use guy wires to achieve a dynamic that affects them.

But it is an impersonal, too, giving yourself over to the characters in the development of such rigidly defined roles difficult. No doubt some of these restrictions are intentional, and sometimes used for the benefit of the film. Romanek brings together some charming scenes of awkward discovery, when Tommy catches Kathy browsing porn magazines, which has a strong connection, unexpected for a later scene where the trio of partners through an office window in one of his original models possible. It is less successful in uniting the entire history of several periods: time jumps sewn together for voice-overs are mostly redundant tile pure adaptation. For all the tranquility of the history and subtle touches, can not suppress the quiet simplicity of the incident saying. Romanek and screenwriter Alex Garland to create a better poetry when not try to read to us.

City: Ben Affleck Gone Baby Gone is a terrible drama with just a shred as director of some as far as some camera placement and cutting into bits of suspense, so it is not difficult for me to imagine that is intensified gifts to the city, another tour of the dark alleys of the working class of Boston. This seems a little bigger and less character-driven left, with Ben Affleck and Jon Hamm doing Niro / Pacino as heat, robbing banks and trying to catch bank robbers, respectively, while women with varying degrees of patience waiting in the wings.

Easy R: Above all, time has made it easier for me to justify my love with Emma Stone (Superbad July) as it reached the appropriate age to crush [22 November. -Ed.] And continued to demonstrate sympathy and comic timing in films like Zombieland and The House Bunny. But it does not help my case when she is still playing a high school kid in Easy A, really, even with that sexy voice, hoarse, she is playing someone at least a little younger than Jules in Superbad more than three years after the movie came out. Early reviews of the Hawthorne-riffs Easy to make it sound like a possible addition to the canon of brilliant teenage Hollywood movies that are also good: Mean Girls, Bring It On, Clueless and all offer a degree of fantasy no longer textures, just to put an unfair example, Say Anything, but they are all fun and intelligent self-conscious and simply. I hope that’s the case, too. Casting Amanda Bynes (another actress who soon notched nearly a decade as a teenager) as a villain is a kind of inspiration, but his game a popular boy Christian self-righteousness, do not know, is that really how things work in California schools? Pious girls, semi-popular home chase sexy redheads to have sex?

Catfish: I do not know what this film is that I do not know what this film is that I do not know what this movie is about please do not tell me until after you have seen! I hear it’s a documentary about a Facebook friendship that gives a twist to the sweet Jesus I know too much. I’ll keep reviewing Henry Stewart then I saw it. advice [Good for you all, if that is your intention as well. -Ed.]

Diablo: I feel like the thing about OMG I saw the trailer for Diablo to packed halls and the public began to laugh / boos / throw things when the name of M. Night Shyamalan was made a very quick route audience catharsis maverick-sufficiency and meme script. After a few weeks, it felt more like a signal that any number of lines of laughter comedy trailer. Look, I’m not saying that Shyamalan has not been a major disappointment in recent years. I did not even see the legend of Aang, and if you had told me after Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs that some day release a fantasy film, action would not mind seeing in theaters, well, I become even sadder than me, when in fact happened. But in a world where “a Michael Bay film” can gross 400 million, I’m not so sure I should be laughing about a guy who actually did some good movies. Moreoever, Shyamalan does not actually direct the Devil, one of three horror movies labeled “Night Chronicles”, which came up with a hook of the story and gave it to young filmmakers to play. The idea of “Twilight Zone” and strangers trapped in an elevator and you can be, you know, what they call the Devilbender, is promising, since it sounds like the kind of deliberate thrillers, based on characters from Shyamalan used to make. But so did “The Happening” and even that film screened for critics, I guess it’s going to Diablo.

Jack Goes Boating: If Philip Seymour Hoffman impressions were already kind of become a thing (Jason Sudeikis has a rather large one), this is the film that launched them into the national consciousness, if the national consciousness, even a little aware adaptation directed by Hoffman, Hoffman-starring in a play called Jack Goes Boating.
