FROM THE PRESIDENT, SANFORD VIEDERA NEW YEAR – NEW CHALLENGES

FROM RABBI AARON BERGMAN

FROM HAZZAN DANIEL GROSSSELICHOT

Summer has gone by in a blaze ofglory and it’s hard to believe it’s Septemberalready. The fall season is emblematic ofchange. The weather slowly turns, the foliageundergoes a beautiful metamorphosis,students begin a new year of school, and last

but not least, the High Holidays are upon us with the Jewish NewYear. A dominant theme of the High Holidays is forgiveness. It issuch an essential aspect of this time of year that there is an entireservice called “Selichot” devoted to it. Selichot falls on theSaturday night which precedes Rosh Hashanah. (Note that onyears like this one when the first day of Rosh Hashanah falls ona Monday or Tuesday, Selichot is then held on the Saturday nightprior to the one immediately preceding Rosh Hashanah.) Selichotliterally translates to “forgivenesses” but the term refers to anyprayers of repentance. Selichot prayers also focus on God’sbenevolence and compassion, and include the well-known prayerreferred to as The Thirteen Attributes (“Adonai, Adonai, El rachumv’chanun…”). The collective Selichot prayers mirror the contentfound on Yom Kippur. Therefore, the theme of forgivenessfunctions as bookends of the High Holiday season.

MESSAGES

As we approach the Yamim Noraim, itrepresents an opportunity for all of us as Jewsto evaluate what we have endured,accomplished and lost in the last year, whileperhaps formulating personal plans for the

coming year. It is always amazing to me how our summer monthsfly by all too quickly. I hope that all of you had a very pleasantsummer with great memories and some quality time to relax withfriends and family. Preparations for the High Holidays at Adat Shalom are in full gear.Our clergy are hard at work to ensure that all of our holidayofferings are not only complete but meaningful. The choirs arerehearsing in preparation, maintenance staff are busy sparklingthings up and our magnificent synagogue building is undergoingfinal completion of the new Rosen & Wiener Family Pavilion inaddition to completion of the final energy efficiency updates. If you have not recently attended the concluding services for YomKippur, I hope you will make every effort to return to Adat Shalomfor that incredibly meaningful service, which offers you theopportunity to approach the Aron Kodesh with your familymembers for personal prayers, thoughts and wishes. It is truly oneof the best religious services of the year. I look forward to greetingall of you personally over the holidays and certainly at the AronKodesh during our Ne’ilah service at the conclusion of Yom Kippur! On behalf of the entire Vieder Family, we wish you a very happy,healthy and prosperous Jewish New Year ahead.

There is a wonderful thing that usedto be very helpful in relationships and politics,something that allowed people to speak toeach without humiliating or insulting theother. That thing, which appears to be longgone, is a filter.I have never seen people so unfiltered in

their conversations. Instead of saying, “I don't agree” they gostraight to hate and anger. Politicians are the worst at this. It hasbeen a long time since our leaders have encouraged us to hateother people.Unfortunately, I see this angry and abusive language in so manyfamily and friend relationships, too. It is getting so bad that somepeople say that we should not listen to what a person says, butonly look to what they do.I think this is a dangerous approach, and one that Jewish traditionhas never accepted. Words matter. If they didn't, why botherpraying, why say blessings, why tell our stories? They havepower. A leader's hateful words can create fear and terror invulnerable populations. A parent’s words of rejection to a child cancreate a lifetime of pain and separation.In Jewish tradition, humiliating and denigrating people isconsidered a form of bloodshed. We are all created in God'simage. Hateful and racist speech desecrates God's image andinsults God, no matter who says them.

FROM RABBI RACHEL SHEREFROM LIGHT TO LIGHT

Over the summer, fifty educatorsfrom around the state of Michigan and theMidwest came to Adat Shalom as part of aprogram hosted by the Holocaust MemorialCenter. The educators who attended thisseminar came from communities without

much of a Jewish population. Because Michigan legislation, since2016, has mandated Holocaust education in all public schools,these educators were concerned that many of their students’ firstexposure to Judaism would be pictures of tattooed Jews behindbarbed wire. This seminar, sponsored by The Olga LengyelInstitute for Holocaust Studies and Human Rights (TOLI), is builtaround teaching about the Holocaust through the lens ofeducating about Judaism as a whole. It is important to TOLI thatthe week of learning both begin and end “with light.” This is whythe educational seminar began and concluded at Adat Shalom,where the teachers learned and saw firsthand the way Jewishcommunities thrived before the Holocaust and continue to thrivetoday. I was honored to meet with these educators on both visits. Themeetings with them were informed by an extraordinary memoir Irecently read by Holocaust survivor and acclaimed psychologistDr. Edith Eger, entitled The Choice: Embrace the Possible. In thisbestselling memoir, written at the age of ninety, Dr. Eger says,“We have the possibility within us to find meaning in suffering andturn it into an opportunity to discover within us something that wenever thought was possible. I have no time to hate because if Iwould hate, I would still be a prisoner. When we seek revenge,even non-violent revenge, we are revolving, not evolving.”

Preparing for the High Holy DaysSaturday, September 21

� �

Rabbi Jacob E. Segal z”l and Cantor Larry Vieder z”l identifiedthe synagogue as the home of the Jewish people. Proudly, AdatShalom is our home. Adat Shalom’s accomplishments reflect, in large part, yourinvestment in the welfare and growth of that “home”. As a resultof your generosity in recent years, we have been able to replacethe chairs in the Social Hall, install environmentally sound LEDlighting throughout the building, resurface and replace driveways,parking lots and concrete walkways, make improvements to thedecorative, acoustical wall paneling in the Main Sanctuary, andin August we will install a new sound system. During the courseof our 75th anniversary year, we replaced all the original heatingand cooling equipment and completed an energy efficiencyenvelope project to assure significant utility cost savings. This year, we once again ask you to do a special mitzvah onbehalf of Adat Shalom. The cost of these necessary infrastructurereplacements from the original 1972 equipment was in excess of$1.5 million, which primarily came from our unrestrictedendowment funds. It is imperative that we regrow the endowmentfunds to assure ongoing interest growth that will ensure we havea balanced operating budget each fiscal year. All members will receive a Yom Kippur Appeal tab card in themail. Please remember to bring it with you when you come toservices on Yom Kippur Day, Wednesday, October 9. We stronglyencourage you to be part of guaranteeing our future by making ameaningful monetary contribution toward this year’s Yom KippurAppeal. Mahzor Lev Shalem for Rosh Hashanahand Yom Kippur is available for

purchase in the synagogue office. Thecost is $32 for each book.

Please contact Denise Gallagher,248.851.5100, ext. 221 or stop in theoffice for details.

C.A.R.E.S. offers needed support in the areas of food,clothing, job education and training as well as access to othercommunity and county support services – all on one campus. Our teens joined 130 other 6th to 12th graders and adultvolunteers from churches and mosques in the area. The teensloved spending the week cleaning and painting fences, cleaningout old buildings, creating original pieces of art, building beds fora community garden and constructing and painting a newproduce cart that will eventually be used to sell produce grown atC.A.R.E.S. Jessica Goldberg and Elijah Appelman, both seniorsin high school, Sammi Shapiro and I represented Adat Shalomon the Youth United planning committee.

AsJews, one lesson we are always working toteach the world is Vayehi erev vayehi boker– After night comes day (Genesis 1:5). Afterdarkness comes light; we will never allowevil to have the final word.

From Michael WolfDirector of Spirituality and Outreach

Rosh Chodesh Elul falls on August 31 and September 1(whenever there are 30 days in a Hebrew month, we observe RoshChodesh for two days). Elul is the 6th Hebrew month, the monththat precedes the High Holy days. Some say that the Hebrewletters that comprise the word Elul – aleph, lamed, vav, lamed –are an acronym for “Ani l’dodi v’dodi li,” a verse from Song of Songsthat means “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” Mostoften interpreted as love poetry between two people, the phrasealso reflects the love between God and the Jewish people,especially at this season, as we assess our actions and behaviorsduring the past year and hope for blessings in the coming year. Several customs during the month of Elul are designed toremind us of the liturgical season and help us prepare ourselvesand our souls for the upcoming High Holidays.1. Blowing the shofarTraditionally, the shofar is blown each morning (except onShabbat) from the first day of Elul until the day before RoshHaShanah. The sound is intended to awaken the soul and kickstart the spiritual accounting that happens throughout the month. 2. Reading Psalm 27It is customary to read Psalm 27 each day from the beginning ofElul through Hoshana Rabbah, which is the last day of Sukkot.3. Visiting loved ones' gravesElul is also a time of year during which Jews traditionally visit thegraves of loved ones. This custom not only reminds us of theindividuals on whose shoulders we now stand and helps us honortheir memories, but also prompts us to think about our own livesand the legacies we will leave to others – kind words spoken,comfort offered, love given and received – which take on addedmeaning as we enter the High Holiday season. 4. ReflectingIt also is a month during which we are encouraged to study andtake time for personal reflection around our actions of the pastyear and to seek forgiveness from those we have wronged or withwhom we otherwise have “missed the mark” in our interactionsand behaviors.

This is why most of the sins that are mentioned during the HighHolidays have to do with the way we use our words. Very few ofthem are other actions. Our sages understood that the mostdangerous part of the human body was the tongue, that is whyGod put it in an enclosure.People will always find things to disagree on. No matter what issueseems to be the most important today, something new will emergetomorrow. The question is whether we want to be able to maintainthe relationships we say we value. We need leaders whose wordsbring out what is best and most noble within us. We need to findthe words to make our friends and family feel valued even whenwe differ.Our words need to bring sweetness to the world, like the applesand honey of Rosh Hashanah, and not feelings of discomfort, likethe fast of Yom Kippur.May we create a new year of sweetness and joy for everyone.
