This is the first episode of my new web series Talkin Takhlis, where I do a deep dive into Jewish ritual and minhag (custom or accepted tradition) to help folks navigate when they don't know where to start.
What is Rosh Hashanah, and what do we do? Semitic cultures in the Near East celebrate the new year in the fall, after they gathered the harvest. Rosh Hashanah can be translated as "first" or "head of the year."
Welcome to Talking Takhlis the show were I talk about my various communities and your guide to Jewish rituals and blessings online and in your home. Transgender Day of Visibility, or TDOV, is an annual event occurring on March 31st.
Havdalah is made up of four (4) short blessings and a song or two and if you can do that, you can do anything. Hi, this is Martin and welcome to Talkin' Takhlis the show where we break apart ritual and bring it into your home.
Welcome to Talkin' Takhlis. I'll be talking about a book, called Mishkan G'avah: Where Pride Dwells. It is a book that's out right now from the CCAR press and it's pretty exciting.
