Torah STudy aT TEmplE

with Rabbi Kalfus

adulT EdaT TEmplE Emanu-El

Sounding the Shofar is not listening to it.

This year, Rosh HaShanah falls at the beginning of October. By the time it arrives, the school year will have begun, we will have returned from vacations to our regular routines and we may be full of “projects” to accomplish and dead-lines that we must keep. I am sure that by the beginning of October, many of us are going to feel pressured, exhausted and

tense.

It is within this context in our Jewish calendar that we set apart some days to break this routine and dedicate ourselves to improve ourselves and ask for forgiveness. We have learned to value these High Holy Days, in part, because to improve ourselves is no easy task and the presence of community, the liturgy, the music, the sanctuary setting, all facilitate our per-sonal reflections and the process of turning if we have veered off our path.

Authors Annette and Eugene Labovitz remind us that this pro-cess begins with the listening to the shofar. They write that the Torah describes the rituals of Rosh HaShanah, the New Year with the verses, “And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month…it shall be a day of introspection”…and “it shall be a day of sounding of the Shofar”.

The sounding of the shofar is not necessarily the most impor-tant task. It is the listening (lishmoah kol shofar) that is cru-cial. The Rabbis explained: each and every person should hear its message, for “lishmoah”, to listen, means not only to listen, but to make a conscious effort to hear, to take advice, to give heed. The shofar blower sounds the shofar, but the congrega-tion may or may not hear. The message of the shofar may or may not penetrate the hearts of the worshippers.

The word “lishmoah”, to listen, leads us to an internal act. To listen means to understand the significance, to act on the mes-sage, to internalize the action: to heed the cry of the suffering, to raise up the downtrodden, to look back for the purpose of self-improvement.

Simply sounding the shofar (external) adds to the beauty of the prayer service, but listening (internal) demands that we change our actions in conformity with its message.

May each one of you start this High Holy Days season hav-ing “listened” to our internal voices and having struggled to overcome our faults.

From my heart to yours,

MuSiC hAPPENiNGS AT TEMPLE

Kelly

Temple emanu-el BulleTin • SepTemBer 2016 • av/elul 5776

Kelly Onickel, Cantorial Soloist

Unetaneh Tokef literally means, “we give power” On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur we give the prayer power, and the day power, when we realize what is at stake. What gives Yom Kippur its awesome authority? The recognition of its central message that we are mortal, we will not live forever. Therefore we must repent now, and repair now the broken relationships of your life.

“The great shofar is sounded and a still, small voice is heard” The call to prayer is the sho-far, whose piercing, plaintive notes grab our attention. But on the heels of the shofar is the soft voice. The message of prayer is in the stillness and silence. God does not speak in thunderous pronouncements, but in a small, insistent tone. God will not take away our choice by forcing us to listen. On Yom Kippur we attune our ears and our hearts to really listen to God’s call, so eas-ily ignored, but so overwhelming once we attend to it.

“Who shall live and who shall die?” asks the Unetaneh Tokef each year on Yom Kippur, as we look around, and notice the absences, of those who are gone. The question becomes real, and its

truth begins to strike us: we do not know who will live and who will die.

“Who shall die by fire and who by water, who by sword and who by wild beast; who by famine and who by thirst, who by strangling and who by stoning . . .” Gradually the message begins to force itself upon us. Every stratagem of poetry and ritual is employed to teach us something we already know, that we will die. But although we know it, we do not feel it. We hide behind power and position and title in this world. But when we face our own deaths, we are only I, the essence of each individual soul. Death brings us face-to-face with who we are. The Unetaneh Tokef urges us to feel it now, confront our mortality, see ourselves, and face God.

“But repentance, prayer and tzedakah avert the severity of the decree.” The decree comes to all, great and small, rich or poor. But a life of closeness, of teshuvah, of kindness, envelops us in a loving community, and a relationship to God that is close.

“Our origin is dust and our end is dust. At the hazard of our life we earn our bread. We are like a fragile vessel, like the grass that withers, the flower that fades, the shadow that passes, the cloud vanishes, the wind that blows, the dust that dis-perses, the dream that flies away.” Finally we come to understand our fragility. The prayer has beaten down our resistance and we understand. Alone, mortal, we are nothing. What are we to do with the inevitability of death?

“But You, Sovereign of all, are the Living and Everlasting God ... We therefore pray that our name be linked with Yours.” We are fading, but God is forever. If we recognize our plight, we find in ourselves the need for God, and the path to God. Then we have joined the only thing in the world that does not fade away. Above the clamor of the everyday, and the din of history, the message of Unetaneh Tokef shines: There is so little time. When the shofar blows, let the shudder of mortality awaken your soul. Come out of hiding, and seek the eternity promised by our covenant with God. (Synopsis of Rabbi David Wolpe’s Unetaneh Tokef)

Although the Unetaneh Tokef prayer speaks about death it is really about living. Perhaps as we sing this prayer this High Holiday season you will reflect on how those who have gone before us lived their lives and maybe remember what they taught. Perhaps we will reflect on how we have chosen to live our lives and is it worthy of being linked to God? As The Unetaneh Tokef prayer tells us we will die, but if we live a life of teshuvah, of kindness, and as a loving community then we will be connected to God the one thing that does not die.

FROM ThE PRESiDENT

Dear All: The year 5776 is rapidly nearing its end. For me and my family, it's been a very good year, but I know that is not true for all. Some have been ill; some have lost family or friends; some have had other wor-ries I cannot even fathom.

Why do I mention this? It's because I want to do the little I can to help ease your cares. And my formula is to remind you that, whatever your problems, Temple

Emanu-El is here to help. In fact, to me, helping in these situations is one of the prime reasons we exist. Not only have our clergy been trained in this, but I've been told they are very good at it. In addition, we have the Caring Community, which is always here when needed. Remember, we want to help you celebrate the joys in your lives--the marriages, births, B'nai Mitzvahs, anniversaries and the like--but we also want to help in the not-so-joyous times.

Please remember, we're here to help. My best to all,

September is here and as we embark on our new academic year there is a sense of excitement in the Yachad Religious School office. The shelves are tidy, the student packets are ready and the teachers are prepped!

My family and I are about to begin our first school year in Michigan, with Ben as a rising 6th Grader and Yael as a madricha entering her senior year. We have spent the last month exploring our new neighborhood and community and meeting as many people as possible.

One of the most important things we learn from the Torah is how to treat strangers. We are told to remember that we ourselves were strangers in Egypt and to have empathy and compassion for those people who are new. We learn from Abraham and Sarah about hospitality and making people feel welcome.

Discovering what is needed to enable someone to feel comfortable and secure is different depending on who you talk to. For a child, it could be the familiarity of a favorite stuffed animal, or the bedtime routine that doesn’t change regardless of where they are. For an adult, knowing what is expected, where things are, who to speak to and how to fit in within the local societal norms.

Judaism is very specific about strangers and by its very definition, someone new is a stranger. “You yourselves know how it feels to be a stranger, because you were strangers in Egypt”.

We may be the newcomers in town, but we have already had a wonderful welcome to the community. We are enjoying the excitement of meeting our families and friends as time goes by.

Friendships are built on the basis of shared memories and experiences. The community picnic takes place on the first day of school and my family and I are looking forward to meeting those of you who we haven’t yet met in person. Come, say hello, have something to eat, and enjoy the fun. See you there!

Sydney attends Norup International (National Honor Society). For Sydney’s Mitzvah Project, she visited senior facilities on Sunday afternoons and performed

a “one woman show”! She danced, sang, and played the violin for the seniors. Sydney thought the seniors would enjoy live entertainment because many of them are not able to leave their facilities very often. She was right! The seniors enjoyed the shows so much. They were singing and clapping along. It was a true mitzvah!

Once again, the start of school is here. This annual “rite of passage” is not only a special time for chil-dren but a time of celebration for parents. Our Teach-er Meet and Greet is on Wednesday, August 31st, from 9:00 to 10:00 A.M. School begins on Tuesday, September 6th. Our infant program continues its year round schedule. Please call the Early Childhood of-fice for information on any of our programs.

The first day of school is often a concern for chil-dren, even if they are returning to a familiar environ-

ment. Be sure to acknowledge your child’s fears and anxiety when you drop him/her off. Explain that you will be back to pick up following a certain activity, such as after lunch or after nap. This is easier for chil-dren to understand rather than giving them a time of day. Helpful tips from EarlychildhoodNews.com include the following:

• Prepare your child. Hang a calendar in your child’s room so that they can mark off the days until school begins. This allows your children to visually see how long it will be until school starts.

• Develop an early sleep schedule. Get your children back on an early sleep schedule at least 2 weeks before school starts.

• Back-to-school shopping. School shopping can prove to be fun when your children take part in choosing their school supplies, new clothes, lunch boxes, backpacks, etc.

• Discuss your children’s expectations. Ask your children what they expect about returning to school. Read books about children starting school, which are appropriate for their age/grade level. You can address any feelings that your child might have about starting school: new adventures, making new friends, separation anxiety, etc. Make sure to ask them if they have any questions or concerns about returning to school and address any possible fears that they might have.

• Let your child know you care. Write your child a little note and put it in their lunch/snack bag to remind them that you think of them during the day

Though many things have changed, many still remain the same. Our dedicated staff will continue to offer children a positive, loving, nurtur-ing environment where every child is recognized as an individual. It has been a pleasure welcoming our new Education Director, Abi Taylor-Abt. Abi looks forward to meeting our families and sharing the Temple Emanu-El vision of ongoing Jewish education.

As the school year begins, we are looking forward to many new young family activities. As ECC families you are also Temple Emanu-El fami-lies. Check our bulletin and website for complimentary Shabbat dinners and services.

NOW is the TimeThe Days of Awe are upon us. We begin the new year with an overall commitment to use our tools, talents and resources to best benefit the Temple Emanu-El community. We ask for your support.

A Culture of givingWhen we as a community say, “this is important to us,” we proudly prioritize our faith in the community and the world. The continuation of Judaism in our homes and in our community is vital to our existence. in hebrew, Kulanu means “all of us together.” Kulanu is our way of thinking about sustaining our community to ensure that our financial future is strong.

Thank You!We do not like to ask for money, and we know that many of you already give to your best ability. We do ask, however, that each of you do your best and join us in supporting our Temple Emanu-El community. The Torah does not give us a pass on doing Tzedakah.

We do not accept monetary donations on Rosh haShanah and Yom Kippur, so please return the pledge card by mail or as you enter or exit our sanctuary.

May each of us be inscribed for a Good Year! L’Shana Tova

Sponsor an Oneg, a Kiddush or a Wine & Cheese Pre-Service Oneg in honor of a simcha—anniversary, birthday, graduation or other special event.

Or, you may wish to honor the memory of a loved one.

Maimonides $140 • New testament $210 • Psalms $140

Maimonides’ guide for the Perplexed 8 weeks, 7:00 pm Mondays beginning October 31

Moses ben Maimon (1138-1204), known as Maimonides and Rambam, was an Aristotelian religious rationalist who did not believe that God had direct contact with or influence in our world, which put him in conflict with the Jewish Biblical literalists of his day. In his Guide for/of the Perplexed, he affirms that there can be no contradiction between the religious truths about God and the findings of the human mind in science and philosophy. Maimonides was harshly criticized by Ashkenazi rabbinic authorities and his Guide was banned. Rabbi Klein will discuss selected readings from the Guide.

Exploring the Psalms 8 weeks, 7:00 pm Wednesdays beginning October 26This course will closely examine selected Biblical psalms with a focus on their structure, word-play and literary sophistication. The Psalms have become an important part of our Jewish liturgy and for the Christian community. The poetry and theology of the Psalms transcend their almost 3000 year history. It is significant that the Psalter (the Book of Psalms) was a the first book ever printed in the American colonies—The Bay Psalm Book. Though the Hebrew texts of the Psalms will be referenced, Hebrew ability is not required. Students should bring their own Bible.

A Jewish Understanding of the New Testament 12 weeks, 9:30 am Wednesdays beginning September 21The three “Synoptic Gospels” of Matthew, Mark and Luke, and the fourth unique Gospel of John separately tell the story of Jesus, his mission and message to the Jews. Paul’s New Testament Epistles are the earliest record of the “Jesus Movement.”. The gospels will be examined for their perspectives on Jews and Judaism and as windows into the development and evolution of the early church. Paul’s letters will be read to understand how his theology, a blending of Hellenistic thought and Jewish history, explains his “conversion” and impact on the community of Jesus-believers in the late 1st Century. Students should bring a copy of the New Testament.
