As I write this article, Robin and I are coming to an end of a wonderful vacation in Alaska. Alaska is often called “the last frontier” and it’s easy to see why. Alaska is 12 times bigger than New York and has millions of acres of mountains and forests inaccessible by roads and hundreds of miles from the nearest cellphone tower. For many Alaskans, the wilderness is a large part of the reason they either came to the state or elect to stay here. Just as during the westward expansion of the lower 48 during the 19th century, the wilderness of Alaska in the 21st century represents freedom for many and a chance for a new start in a place where almost anything is possible.

The wilderness also plays an important part in the faith of Israel, particularly during the High Holy Days. The majority of the Torah takes place in the wilderness and one of the 5 Books of Moses is even named “In the Wilderness,” in the original Hebrew. In the Hebrew Bible, the wilderness is both an actual place and a metaphor for the period of the Israelites’ transformation here about eight from slavery to freedom. In the wilderness of the deserts of Sinai and the Negev, the habits of servitude are burned away, and the people finally emerge from the desert 40 years later ready to take responsibility for their own lives. The wilderness teaches the Israelites self-reliance and the consequences of bad choices. The wilderness is, as the folklorist Arnold van Gennap puts it, a “liminal space,” that transforms the people of Israel from a group of disparate and often conflicting individuals into a mighty nation.

The High Holy Days, at their core, are another kind of liminal space. Beginning with Rosh Hashanah and ending with Yom Kippur, the 10 “Days of Awe” are moments outside of regular time. Just like the Israelites journey through the wilderness, this period of reflection takes us out of the familiar and, by doing so, increases the possibility of real change in our habits and perspective.

Think back to the times when we become reflective and receptive to change. Tragedy certainly brings reevaluation of our patterns and goals. The death of a loved one or a major health challenge often cause a profound reassessment of our plans and way of life. At another end of the spectrum, our journeys away from home often trigger intense introspection about our work-life balance and the fixtures of our ordinary existence. The further away we go, either by distance or by landscape, the deeper the contemplation. That’s why, particularly for city dwellers, a trip to the wilderness can provoke such a deep reexamination of our assumptions and choices.

Traditionally, Judaism advises us to regard Rosh Hashanah as the day of our birth and Yom Kippur as the day of our death. This metaphor doesn’t always work as a spark for reflection. Some even find it threatening and off- putting. If this traditional metaphor doesn’t work for you, consider the analogy of a journey to the wilderness. In Hebrew, as Rabbi Jonathan Sacks points out, the word midbar, wilderness, has the same root as the word dabar/davar, meaning “word” or “thing.” It has the same letters as medabber, “speaking.” In the wilderness, the Torah was revealed to the people of Israel and they heard a Voice that changed the trajectory of their lives. To be “in the wilderness” means to be radically attuned to the possibility of that sound and its message. When the season of inward reflection begins in the middle next month, accordingly, may we all find ourselves, metaphorically, in a beautiful wild valley ready to ascend the heights that surround us and give them a name and a meaning that will reorient our lives for the better! L’shanah Tovah!

Rosh Hashanah is celebrated on the first day of the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. The month is Tishri. Why does the seventh month mark the beginning of the Jewish New Year? God, speaking to Moses in Leviticus 23:24 imagines celebrating a holiday as a type of Sabbath for the soul: “You are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts.” Seven has always held a very special place in Judaism. We know that the blasts ring out from the shofar, which blows to awaken each of us from spiritual slumber and to encourage us to repent. Casting away sin, tashlich, was a custom that we believe began in the 13th century in Germany. 

On Rosh Hashanah we recite two very special prayers. The first is Unetaneh Tokef, which is a medieval poem about the solemnity of the day. The other prayer is El Maleh Rachamim ( read between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) which prays for the souls of the departed, who are believed to be watching over us.

What an important and special time of year it is for each of us. We have a New Year approaching with a chance for a new start. We want, and need each of you, to join us in working to create the Temple Israel that you want. We are here to see that our synagogue functions well and to encourage new leadership and participation. We have a vision for Temple Israel and we want to hear what you want in the future. Joining Sisterhood and Brotherhood, the Membership Committee, the Adult Learners Committee, the Religious School Committee, the Caring Community, the Adult Choir or any of our other committees will give you a voice in what happens here. It will also connect you with other congregants and form friendships that you have not had in the past. You can make US stronger. Feel free to contact us at any time to increase your level of participation.

We wish each of you a HAPPY AND HEALTHY 5783! We look forward to seeing you at Rosh Hashanah services on September 15th-16th and Yom Kippur services on September 24-25th.

L’SHANAH TOVAH!

During the month of August, our dedicated choir members, our wonderful organist, Elona, and I have been rehearsing for the High Holy Days. Not only do we refresh our memories of the melodies and harmonies, we delve into the meanings of the prayers.  

The melodies for the prayers that are only heard during the Days of Awe, such as Avinu Malkeinu and Kol Nidre have tremendous power to move us, evoking a connection with the Jewish people and tradition that goes beyond words. Did you know that prior to the publication of Gates of Repentance in 1978, the Reform machzor (High Holy Day prayer book) did not contain the text for Kol Nidre? The legalist text nullifying personal vows was deemed inconsistent with the values of the Reform movement. Even though the Kol Nidrei prayer was not in the prayer book, many Reform congregations began the evening service of Yom Kippur with an instrumental or choral arrangement of Kol Nidrei anyway.  

Almost 60 years ago, a Canadian communications theorist named Marshall McLuhan penned the phrase, "The medium is the message." He wrote that "societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which [people] communicate than by the content of the communication." Although McLuhan was thinking about the influence of television on society when he wrote that phrase, as today we might think of social media, the Kol Nidre melody is also a great example of the medium, in this case, the melody, being more powerful than the message of the prayer.  I just can't imagine the evening of Yom Kippur without the ancient, haunting Kol Nidre melody. At Temple Israel we are blessed to have Vincent Moncada playing the Kol Nidrei melody on 'cello, as well Elona playing the organ and the beautiful voices of our choir members as we usher in the Sabbath of Sabbaths, Yom Kippur, the most solemn day of the Jewish Year.  

To learn more about the history of the Kol Nidre melody:

While it may be daunting to consider joining the choir -- perhaps you don't read music, or understand Hebrew -- please know that you will be in very good company, and you will learn along with the rest of us. 

Shana tova u'm'tuka! May 5784 be a year of blessings and love for all.

September is a time of renewal with Rosh Hashanah on September 15 and Yom Kippur on September 24.  This is the time of year when we ask forgiveness and “throw away our sins” during Tashlich.  This period of prayer offers us an excellent opportunity to look objectively at ourselves and pledge to being better in our thoughts, words, and actions. Let’s begin 5784 with a clean slate.

Start the year off with an environment that repairs the world for our sisters and the entire community.  Commit to the ideals of Sisterhood for all our members as we strive to keep in mind Jewish values.

Our first General Sisterhood Meeting is our Sisterhood/Brotherhood Kickoff on September 10.  Please attend – we want you to be part of our Jewish community.  

This is the time to join or renew your membership in Temple Israel’s Sisterhood, which provides you with the opportunity to put your talents and gifts to use for many worthwhile causes.  Your membership enriches your life as well as that of the entire congregation.  And of course, you don’t want to miss our lovely paid-up membership brunch on December 17.  Contact Claire Guttsman (speechrose1@msn.com) or Sandy Feuerstein (bartenda23@aol.com).  The September 10 Kick-off is an opportunity to pay your Sisterhood dues if you have not done so already.  

Thank you to Silvia Gornstein for her hard work taking orders for the beautiful Community New Year’s Card. Thank you to Judy Lee’s child who created the colorful, unique design we are using this year.  

We will have a “Break the Fast” in the social hall when Yom Kippur services are completed.   We hope you will join us as we usher in the New Year. 

On September 30, Sisterhood is planning to share Pizza in the Hut at 5:30 pm, Havdallah at 6:30 pm and Sippin’ in the Sukkah at 7 pm on the Temple patio.    Please contact Jodi Siegel (jsiegel23@aol.com) or Judy Lee (aninformedsource@aol.com) if you can help set up and clean up for the evening.  The cost is $14 a person for Pizza in the Hut.  The Sippin’ in the Sukkah portion of the evening is free of charge. (See the flyer elsewhere in this bulletin).

Thanks to all who donated home-baked or store-bought goods and fruit for the summer onegs.  Your assistance is very much appreciated! Please be generous with your time and help in making our Fall onegs a pleasant experience. Please contact Terry Baver (terrygbaver@gmail.com) or Judy Lee (aninformedsource@aol.om) to sign up for September, October and beyond. 

Sisterhood had been researching a cleaning service to deep clean the kitchen. The Sisterhood executive board has not yet decided on a date to begin.  Volunteers will be needed to empty and restock the closets.  We won’t be able to move forward with this until we have enough volunteers.

L’Shanah Tovah to you and your loved ones,

Pamela Carlton, Sue Freedman, Judy Lee, Anita Zuckerberg

Sisterhood Co-Presidents 

Join Sisterhood as we honor the memories of those we've lost Breast Cancer.

Make your donation to the American Cancer Society and walk with us on Sunday, October 22nd. Please give your donation checks to Inez Singer or leave them in the Sisterhood mailbox.

Brotherhood at Temple Israel continues….

Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

We hope that you enjoyed a safe and healthy summer with family and friends.

You may notice that the title of our article for this edition of the Temple’s Bulletin has changed.

As you are aware, our past president of Brotherhood, Jeffrey Ganz, passed away during August.  Jeff was a dedicated Temple Israel member, having served in many leadership positions as Temple president, Ritual Committee co-chair and Treasurer, a position he held for many years, both before and after his tenure as president.  We hope that his memory will serve as a motivation for your participation in Brotherhood and your support of its activities.  We send our messages of support to Jeff’s family as we share in their loss.

Please be reminded that we will be having our annual Kick-off Breakfast with Sisterhood on Sunday, September 10^th, at 10am in the Social Hall.  All are welcome and encouraged to attend. After the breakfast and short meeting, we will gather to clean the stream and surrounding area in preparation for Tashlich which follows the Rosh Hashanah morning service.  (Please wear comfortable shoes and bring a pair of work gloves.)

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, September 26^th, when we will meet in the afternoon on the patio to set up our Sukkah in preparation for our Religious School children to add their decorations.  (Time to be announced.) Our Sukkah will also be busy on Saturday, September 30^th at 5:30 pm for Pizza in the Hut and then at 7:00pm for Sippin’ in the Sukkah.  Join us all for this very pleasant and enjoyable annual event. Please check the flyer above for RSVP information.

THE BROTHERHOOD BBQ RETURNS! Please see the flyer below for information regarding this year’s BBQ activity on Sunday, October 15th.  This special event will be open to all Temple members and will be held on the Patio.  Please refer to the flyer for reservation information.  All are welcome.

We look forward to joining with you at the many activities taking place at Temple Israel.  

As always, feel free to contact either of us for any further information you may require.

With our best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year,

Bob Zuckerberg and Alan Siegel

Our Congregation has been going through a terribly sorrowful time. Our congregation has lost 3 precious family members.

Ruth Stein, who was an active member of our congregation for many years and whose daughter, Shari Stein-Ballow's voice can be heard as the choir sings for the High Holy Days. She is survived by her sister Norma Furman, her daughter Shari and son-in-law Larry, and grandchildren Fanya and Jillian, Alex, Max, Lacey, Jake and Zack and great-grandson Jordan. 

Joyce Kantrowitz, who's daughter Linda Hanibal and Son-in-law Larry are pillars of our Temple Community. She is survived by her son Mark (Meryl), her grandchildren Brian (Gayle), Cara (Charles), Rachael and Andrew (Meghan), and her great-grandchildren Sal and Jacqueline, Matana, Judah, Penelope and Eleonora. As an active member, Linda would often bring her mother to join us at Temple and she was always a welcomed face.

These two women had difficult but wonderful long lives and they leave behind a lifetime of memories, love and joy.

We also lost a member who was one of the most active members of our Temple and was lost too soon. We cannot thank him enough for his tireless efforts on behalf of our Temple and we hope his wish for our Temple to thrive, is always a reality. His smiling face which was practically a fixture at Temple Israel will be missed by us all. Jeff Ganz leaves behind his wife Shariann, sons Matthew and Bryan, his sister Helen Laufer and her family, as well as many other beloved family members and friends..



Our hearts go out to these families who have lost loved ones. May these families find comfort among the mourners of our people and may their memories be a blessing.

Looking forward to a New Year—

Book discussions will be held the third Thursday of October, December. February, April, and June.

We will begin in October with “Madam, The Biography of Polly Adler, Icon of the Jazz Age”. By Debby Applegate.

Let us know if you have any book suggestions for the following months.

The programs that follow will be happily presented as a joint effort between the Adult Learning Committee and the Avis Foundation—

Alina Shteynberg will present “Cooking for the Holidays”Wednesdays, September 13 and 20, 7:30 PM, on ZOOM
