RABBI’S MESSAGEBy Rabbi Nathaniel Ezray

As we prepare for the high holidays during the month of Elul, we open our hearts to the truths that lie within us. Last year I discovered a beautiful new book of poetry and reflections by Marcia Falk called The Days Between.

her poems unlock themes of the holidays and introspection that can deepen how the holidays allow us to change and grow. While written for the days between rosh hashana and Yom Kippur, this poem also can be used to help us prepare for the high holidays (p. 25):

The high holidays – opening our hearTs

VOICE’S DEADLINE

FROM THE PRESIDENTBy Sue Borg

SAVE thE DAtE

a s we approach the high holidays and as I begin the twilight days of my presidency at CbJ, I have been thinking a lot about who I am and how I will shape the next chapters of my life. Likewise, I have been spending time thinking about our community—Who are we? What are the essential qualities that distinguish our congregation and how do we want to grow and change while preserving our particular “brand”?

These questions are broad but important because if we can’t define those essential qualities, we could not successfully pursue those goals that would achieve the continuation of those qualities over time and with growth. the high holidays are a natural time to “check in” with ourselves and take stock.A few years ago, we had a congregation-wide discussion about

Rabbi Wolfson’s book Relational Judaism. Wolfson’s premise is that synagogues that thrive do so because their members are in relationship with each other. Since that time, we have done a lot of thinking about engagement and how we can facilitate the growth of relationship between our members. We have also sought to “feel the pulse” of our members to understand how they feel about CbJ and their place in our community. We have started “CbJ Conversations,” the initiative where Rabbi Ezray and Bill Futornick have one-on-one interviews

opening the heart

At the year’s turnin the days between

we step away from what we know

wall and window roof and road

into the spaceswe cannot yet name

cloud and sky cloud and wings

Slowly the edgesbegin to yield

the hard placessoften

wind and clover reed and river

the gates to forgiveness opens

She also wrote a prayer that expresses my hopes for each of us in the coming year. It is written as an English acrostic – echoing the hebrew literary style of many of the high holiday prayers. read it alone, or together with family and talk about how to make these aspirations come to fruition in your lives (pp. 48, 49):

may it be so

may the year bring abundant blessings–beauty, creativity, delight!

May we be confident, courageous,and devoted to our callings.

may our lives be enriched with education.May we find enjoyment in our workand fulfillment in our friendships.

may we grow, may we have good health.In darker times, may be sustainedby gratitude and hope.

may we be infused with joy.may we know intimacy and kindness,may we love without limit.

may the hours be enhanced with musicand nurtured by art.may our endeavors be marked by originality.

may we take pleasure in daily living.May we find peace within ourselvesand help peace emerge in the world.

may we receive the gifts of quiet.

may reason guide our choices,may romance grace our lives.

may our spirits be serene,may we find solace in solitude.

may we embrace tolerance and truthAnd the understanding that underlies both.

may we be inspired with vision and wonder,may we be open to exploration.

may our deepest yearnings be fulfilled,may we be suffused with zeal for life.

may we merit these blessingsand may they come to be. may it be so.

there is a lot going on this year for teens, and I want to present the highlights here. We are excited to strengthen our kids’ Jewish DNA by creating

meaningful experiences and by deepening our relationships.

First, starting in September we will be (re-) introducing a weekly lunch with bill. Every Saturday at 1:00, I invite 9th-12th graders to have Kiddush with me, and to have discussions about important topics of the day. Especially with so much insanity in the world, it is good to have a place to come together and process events. Our first topic as we come together will be to talk about Israel, and provide context for the conflict.

Next, rabbi ezray will be teaching a monthly class at his house on pirkei Avot, the wisdom writings of our sages. this class will be by application, and is really geared toward our serious teen learners. Rabbi is very excited to be offering a chance to learn with our teens.

our Usy is now an award-winning youth group, having won several awards at the

recent convention! under the direction of our Youth Commissioner, Stacy Goldstein, and our dedicated board, we are anticipating continued growth. We are also going to be having events for our younger group, the Kadima-aged kids who are in grades 6-8. Watch out for announcements to come.

In the religious school, our teen madrichim continue to make a difference and to get a lot out of assisting in classrooms. We’re always on the lookout for teens to join up, so if you’re interested, let rabbi Ilana know.

We are also actively recruiting our teens to lead services, chant torah or haftarah, give a drash, or just be present. the ritual participation of our teens makes the community that much richer. this year, we are anticipating adding a regular musical service that will be just for teens, so look out for information on that as well.

there will be lots of other opportunities for service projects, participation in community events like our Hanukkah Fair and Yom HaShoa, and other projects. I welcome any assistance that adults can give as well, to help make our teen programming successful.

BILL’S MESSAGEBy Bill Futornick, Ritual Director

Selichot is the time when our High Holiday preparation becomes more intensified.to help us dig deep into themes for the holidays, this year Selichot will culminate a month

practicing mussar traditions.mussar is a spiritual practice designed to bring behaviors of being a mensch into everyday practice.At Selichot on saturday night, september 24 at 8:00 p.m., rabbi Ilana will teach about mussar tradition

and we will watch a short film about musar. The theme of the evening will be using Mussar as a springboard to spiritual growth. We have a short service at 9:00 p.m. where we will change the torah covers and

sing some of the beautiful traditional prayers associated with this service that incorporate many of the familiar high holiday prayers.

the CbJ clergy will study different mussar values during services throughout September.

Kol hatchalot kashot; all beginnings are hard. Indeed, the beginning of a new school year can be difficult. Family routines change. The relaxed scheduling of the summer is taken over by the need to be at school on time and children, as well as parents, can have difficulties separating and getting into the rhythms of a new year. It takes time to get used to a new classroom, new teachers, and new routines. Some of us can get into the rhythms of the school year easily and others take a bit longer but we all do fall into the swing of things. there are many things parents can do to help children when it’s time to say goodbye, and taking cues from children will help.

teachers are your partners and will be there to help you along the way; they have been through this before and can help you come up with specific strategies for your child.

Before the first day of school, make a visit. Whether you are starting a new school, or returning from the summer, it’s nice for children to become familiar with the yard and classroom. If the teachers are working in the classrooms, having a moment with them is a plus!

coming up with a goodbye routine, with your child, can be helpful to you both. Whether it is that you will come into the room for five minutes and then leave or you will give two kisses and three hugs at the door, once you have finished the routine leave the classroom. though heart-wrenching you are teaching your child that she is safe at school.

the Kissing hand by Audrey penn is a wonderful book to read with your child, then giving your child a kiss in the palm of her hand before you say goodbye will allow her to carry you with her all day.

my mommy comes back is a song by hap palmer; “my mommy comes back, she always comes back, she never will forget me!” Singing the song together on your way to school can

help your child remember that you will be there at pick up time.

a family photo can be kept in a cubby or lunch box and your child can “visit” whenever he needs a little strength.

something from your purse, given to your child to hold onto during the day. Young children are concrete thinkers and if your child is holding onto something from your purse reminds her that you will be back for this possession that you need.

give the time your child needs to become comfortable at school, whether it takes five minutes, five days or five weeks…she is learning.

always say goodbye to your child, even if you know there will be crying. It can be very scary for a young child to turn around, expecting to see you, and you’ve disappeared.

and what about you? how do you continue on your way when you’ve left an unhappy child? Ask your child’s teacher to call or text you when your child calms down…usually it is before you reach your car. Ask what your child is involved with, and then breathe and enjoy your day.

the number one goal of teachers is to take the time for your child to feel nurtured and safe at school. Loving arms and laps of teachers are always readily available for a snuggle whether you are at beth Jacob preschool or another preschool. I wish an easy start to the school year for both you and your child.

DaviD & robin teitelbaUm annUal lectUre on Jewish thoUght, social JUstice anD israel

On Friday, september 9, 2016 we have the privilege of welcoming a superb teacher, rabbi Amy Eilberg, who will deliver the first of our new lectures honoring the legacy of Rabbi H. David Teitelbaum.September corresponds with hebrew month of Elul, leading up to the Days of Awe, and is our time to prepare ourselves. Accordingly, rabbi Eilberg will be speaking about “the Work of teshuvah: making

Peace in Difficult Relationships and Ourselves.”As this is a 2nd Friday Night Shabbat, services begin at 7:30 p.m., and will be preceded by a potluck

dinner at 6:30 p.m. In addition, rabbi Eilberg will be speaking at peninsula Sinai Congregation on Shabbat morning at 9:30 a.m.

tUesDay nights are for text anD teachingNearly every tuesday night this year will feature a class, lecture or workshop.

Our first class is taught by Bill Futornick centered on the new siddur, Lev Shalem.Just as divine speech created the world, so too with human speech. Prayer like all human speech,

is a creative act. The prayers that we utter shape our inner lives.Created as a result of the very positive reception given to the high holiday Machzor Lev Shalem, this

new siddur was guided by the same editor. It includes explanations, alternative prayers, commentaries, meditations and poems. It also has Hebrew and liturgical glossaries, a list of historical figures,

extensive transliterations along with new translations of all of the psalms and prayers that make up our Shabbat and holiday services.

Come on tuesdays, september 6, 13, 20, 27, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. to explore this remarkable siddur and discover more about your own connection to prayer.

“Shiru L’Adonai Shir Chadash,” “Let us Sing a New Song to Adonai,” is the opening of psalm 96, from the

Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat service. As we approach rosh hashanah, the idea of a “new song,” is reflected in the fact that, at least in part, we are different people, each year on Erev rosh hashanah, who have an opportunity to forge a new, personal journey through the high holy Days.

Senses, thoughts, and emotions, combine to form our lived experience. Habits, routines and practices, structure our day to day existence. The practice of Judaism reflects the rhythms of time, history and our people through our customs and liturgy. It is a beautiful heritage. Yet, if the inherited, traditional forms of worship, do not speak to us, staying present to the new moment can be challenging. Can we compose our own “new song,” as referenced in psalm 96, through our experience at the start of 5777?

With the Early Service, A Different Service, the Family Service, Teen Service, Camp Shofar, traditional Services, and meditation, CbJ presents the holy Day liturgy and teaching in numerous forms, fashioned with creativity and love. We strive to find a link to the Divine within whatever setting we place ourselves. Still, one can feel out of the loop. An inability to understand hebrew and the prayers, a feeling of isolation that arises when we are sure everyone else knows what we do not, or attending to a child or loved one can be obstacles to feeling a part of what is going on. If we can imagine

a password, key, or secret code, to unlock the “new song,” --we can use these days to seek it out. rabbi Abraham Joshua heschel observed, “Feeling becomes prayer in the moment in which we forget ourselves and become aware of God.” Following our instincts, let us explore what is possible, among the sounds, silence, words, music and images of the prayer service.

the Yamim Nora’im, the high holy Days, are time set aside for inward focus. As we transition from the every-day outer world, to the inner spaces we typically don’t have the time to inhabit, we may not like what we see, or we may have trouble finding that quiet space inside. Showing up is the first step. The prayers and readings in the Mahzor were designed to be of help. It may be one word that jumps out at you and resonates. You may find the key in a place you didn’t expect, by trying something new. If you find yourself feeling bored, or disconnected, what else can you bring to the experience? In Moses’ third discourse to the Israelites about the Instruction they are receiving, i.e., the torah, (Deuteronomy 30:11-14) we are told “It is not in the heavens... Neither is it beyond the sea...No, the thing is very close to you, in our mouth and in your heart…” We can apply this text to our experience of prayer as a vehicle to connect with God. Something direct, that we can access, even if we are still struggling to make our way. We can be reassured that we have what we need to do so. It may be heard in a new song already singing itself in your heart. When you hear its melody, this will be the music, the “new song” of the year 5777.

A MESSAGE FROM DIANE HOWARD

Dear Friends,the violent events in Dallas and

more recently those in baton rouge escalated tensions between the police and various minority groups, who believe their color or ethnicity make them a target of judicial discrimination. Fortunately in redwood City, although we may be the most ethnically diverse community on the peninsula, this issue has not surfaced.there is great mutual respect

between the community and our police Department with the goal being equal treatment and respect to all, regardless of ethnicity. this mutual respect did not occur by accident. The Police Force has initiated numerous community outreach programs to solidify the community’s respect. The Department is a national leader in the effective use of social media platforms to communicate to and engage with the public, including school-aged youth, parents, and seniors. In recognition of our significant

hispanic population, a spanish language facebook page has been launched. the police hold town hall meetings in various neighborhoods to provide information and defuse escalating concerns. ‘Coffee with the Cops’ offers a safe and welcoming space for the community to express their concerns, build relationships, and establish trust with our law enforcement.

the Citizens’ Police Academy was created 12 years ago to help the community better understand the roles, responsibilities, and dangers the officers deal with on a daily basis. As a result 25 new volunteers have stepped forward to go into their own neighborhoods to help their neighbors and friends better understand the role and commitment of the officers, who pledge to serve them each day. they also assisted in over 144 Community Events in 2015 acting as a force-multiplier to enhance the efficacy of our Police Department. these volunteers have grown from 4 in 2012 to 30 in 2015 with donated hours increasing from 873 to 8832.the Department has instituted

a neighborhood watch program and a brown bag lunch program to discuss with neighbors and businesses aspects of crime prevention, personal safety, and workplace safety. Other programs include the police Diversion program, adopt-a-school, enhanced school safety, family and gang intervention, tattoo removal, and many more.We are fortunate in redwood

City to have a police Department that works diligently to build trust and relationships; to treat all with equal respect and to diffuse situations before they result in a violent outcome. We, as a community, need to

work with them to strengthen that alliance.

this year as we walk to temple on the high holy Days, let us appreciate their presence in front of our temple and be grateful for their commitment to the safety of our congregation. As I watch the post-Dallas

televised discussions, there is little civil discourse or search for middle ground. there is only shouting and accusatory finger pointing, which only heightens neighborhood tension. this year as we watch the rising

tensions among various ethnic and economic groups, let the words of Isiah 58 penetrate the depth of our souls. “Is not this the kind of fast I have chosen, to loose the chain of injustice, to set the oppressed free, and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter – when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?”Let us continue to work with our

police to make redwood City the shining example to which others may aspire.If you would like additional

information, please visit our City website, www.redwoodcity.org or contact me at dhoward@redwoodcity.org.my best wishes to you and your

family during the high holy Days.

SEPTEMBER BAT MITzVAH

I’m Abigail Meyer and I’m an 8th grader at Odyssey Middle School in San mateo. I live in San Carlos with my parents, my younger brother Jack, my dog boo and my cats Jem and Scout. I love to play tennis and guitar, perform in musical theater at bay Area e.t.c., dance at melodic remedy Dance Studio, and sing with the Peninsula Girls Chorus. I am thrilled to be playing guitar at my Bat Mitzvah, thanks to the help of my teacher Angela Gold.

my parents have been members of CbJ since before I was born, so CbJ has always been part of my life. I love this community, and I truly enjoyed preparing for my bat mitzvah. my portion, Ki tetze, has over 10 percent of all of the mitzvot

in the Torah. That’s a lot of rules! I found it fascinating to pick apart these mitzvot, and form my own opinions about them. For my tzedakah project, I will be supporting Dr. Rick Hodes’ lifesaving medical work in Ethiopia on behalf of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.

I would like to thank all of the people who have helped prepare me for this day, especially rabbi and bill.

OCTOBER B’NAI MITzVAH

my name is Lindsay Ehrenpreis, and I am a seventh grader at Castilleja School in palo Alto. I live in San Carlos with my parents Ira and Ellen, my sister Ashley, my brother zach, and my dogs Oscar and Ella. In addition to spending time with my family and friends, I also enjoy playing tennis. In fact, I’ve been going to Carmel Valley tennis Camp (“CVtC”) for two years now. CVtC truly is my home away from home; I smile just by thinking of all the good times I’ve had there.

being a part of the CbJ community has strengthened my connection to my Jewish heritage, and becoming a bat mitzvah at CbJ is further solidifying that connectedness. CbJ has helped me appreciate that a huge part of being Jewish is Tzedakah. For my Tzedakah project, I chose to support the Sean N. Parker Center for Asthma and Food Allergy Research at Stanford. The Stanford allergy center helped me overcome my life-threatening food allergies to tree nuts through oral immunotherapy and I can’t even begin to express my gratitude to the incredible team at Stanford. In addition to donating money to the Center, I have also been volunteering there this summer. tzedakah is a fantastic part of being Jewish and I am so grateful that CbJ has reinforced for me the importance of giving back. my portion, Vayelech, describes Moses in his final days as he passes his torch of leadership to Joshua. Like Joshua, who assumes his new leadership role at Moses’ passing, I know that in becoming a Bat Mitzvah I am similarly assuming a leadership role as I leave my Jewish childhood behind and become an adult. I would like to thank bill, rabbi Ezray, Cantor barbara, and all of my CbJ classmates and teachers for helping me to prepare for this special day.

My name is Grant Weiner, and I am an eighth grader at the Ronald C. Wornick Jewish Day School. I live in redwood City with my parents, David and beth, and my younger brother Ian. my hobbies are environmental science, chemistry, and soccer. I enjoy my school because it is filled with Jewish rituals that I enjoy and try to practice every single day. I was born in Samara, Russia, and lived the first almost two years of my life in an orphanage until I was adopted.

For my tzedaka project, I have supported the San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center. I raised over $1,500 for that organization through my Wornick and CbJ classes. the highlight of my 7th grade year was being able to compete in the California State Science Fair in Los Angeles. I hope to accomplish many wonderful things during my 8th grade year. I would like to thank Rabbi Ezray, William Futornick, and Cantor Barbara for preparing me to make my special day a memorable experience. I would especially like to thank patti moskovitz, who spent so much time getting me ready for my bar mitzvah. And of course, I would like to thank my parents for the service, Kiddush lunch and party, and for all the love they have given me.

OCTOBER BAR MITzVAHS

hi! my name is Sara raubvogel and I will be entering 8th grade at roy Cloud School this fall. I am from redwood City and I have an older brother, Aaron, with whom I get along very well. I am excited to be studying with Rabbi and Bill for my upcoming bat mitzvah in October. my family and I have been members of CbJ since I was very young. In fact, I am a proud graduate of the CbJ preschool! In the spring, you will find me on the track, sprinting, passing batons, or trying to beat my record in high jump. I love writing, and whenever I can find the time, I continue writing my book about the holocaust. Also, I play guitar and teach myself new tricks and chords through songs that I like, and I like to make

handmade greeting cards to raise money for local charities. On that note, I enjoy volunteering my time and raising money for local and international organizations. my family and I love to travel, and we take many vacations year round. One was a volunteer vacation to Costa rica where we helped children in an orphanage. I really, really loved that because it made me feel like I was making a difference in the world and I made many kids very happy.

For my Mitzvah project I am supporting an organization called Innovation Africa. They are a nonprofit Israeli organization whose goal is to bring innovative Israeli solar and water technologies to remote African villages.

One of my favorite quotes is, “I always wondered why somebody didn’t do something about that. And then I realized I am somebody.” (-- unknown) I fully believe that everyone can make a difference and that everyone can choose their path -- no matter how many miles you traveled in the wrong direction.

Everyone’s heard the Yiddish expression “Oy vey!” I’m sure there’s also a Yiddish expression for “Hurray!”,

but I have no idea what it is. Judaism isn’t supposed to be a somber religion. rebbe Nachman of breslov (18th C, ukraine) famously said: “It’s a great mitzvah to always be happy.” but we bear centuries of oppression on our shoulders, and most of us were raised with a lot more Jewish guilt than Jewish joy.

As time carries us away from the traumas of the past, we are returning to a happy Judaism. It’s a sea change in synagogues and Jewish school across the country. I have a personal fantasy that some day, worldwide synagogue attendance on Yom Kippur will be surpassed by that on Simchat torah.

Don’t get me wrong - I love Yom Kippur. The prayers are haunting, and they can be cathartic. Fasting adds to the intensity of the experience. During the hours and hours of recitation, I pull out all of my fears, my sorrows, my regrets, and hold them front and center in my mind. I cleanse myself of my shadows.

but I love the high holidays as a once a year experience, in the context of a Judaism that is overall upbeat and that gives me language to express a very broad range of emotions. If I had to choose only one, I’d much prefer the glee two weeks later, when we celebrate completion of Deuteronomy (the last book of the torah), roll back the scroll and start all over again in Genesis.

Simchat torah is like a post-performance cast party, or an end-of-finals college party, or, to use the traditional metaphor, a post-trial celebration. After a month of soul searching, chest beating, and the heaviest prayers of the year, a lot of energy is built up. We pop the cork, and race

around the room with the holy torahs in our arms. At CbJ, professional Klezmer musicians accompany us.

CBJ also has the custom of extending to our kindergarten students and their families a special invitation for Simchat torah. Each receives a miniature torah scroll and a bar of chocolate (fair trade, of course!) Simchat torah is NOt a kiddie event. but little kids tend to be less inhibited and more energetic than adults, and they set an example during the dancing.

I hope to see you this year on rosh hashanah, when the tone is somber but touched with honey. Join us on Yom Kippur, when we dip past somber into severe. Sit in our Sukkah on Sukkot, when the tone is hopeful and brave. most of all, I hope you’ll help welcome our kindergarteners to the joy of torah, and dance with us on Simchat torah.

The Lillian Nolan Fund for Low-Income Seniors was established through a bequest to Congregation beth Jacob from long-time beth Jacob member Lillian Nolan z”l.

The Fund awards grants to assist low-income seniors with ongoing expenses associated with living in retirement Facilities that offer kosher food.

Only beth Jacob members are eligible to receive grants from the Fund. Grants are paid directly to the Retirement Facility on behalf of the grantee.

The Fund is managed by a Board composed of several Beth Jacob members named in Ms. Nolan’s will, along with Rabbi Ezray and, in an ex officio role, and Executive Director Gary Geller. All business of the Fund is kept confidential within this group.

Criteria for grant decisions include: • Documented need • Eligibility of the Retirement Facility under the stipulations of the bequest • Availability of funds

Grants are made on an annual basis, to be applied toward monthly living expenses such as a monthly service fee charged by the Retirement Facility. The maximum annual grant per recipient household will be $24,000 for a single, $48,000 for a couple. Applicants must re-apply annually. Applicants are counseled that there is no assurance of ongoing future availability of these grants.

IF yOU WOULD LIkE TO ADD LOvED ONES TO ThE yAhRzEIT LIST OR hAvE A CORRECTION, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO CBJ@BEThJACOBRWC.ORG.

A MESSAGE FROM REBECCA SCHWARTz(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7)

FROM THE PRESIDENT(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2)

with members to learn about their stories and ask about their engagement with CbJ. In time, the plan is to have conversations with each member family. We are working to save this very detailed personal data so that we can work harder at reaching out to our members wherever they are, to be engaged however they wish. And, we have created more opportunities to hear each other’s stories and to engage with other members in a deeper and more personal way. I have heard from so many of you who feel these changes and are pleased.

It would also appear that our success has contributed to growth that was beyond our

expectations. Of course, this is the sort of “problem” we would all wish to have; but, it is clear that with growth comes new challenges. In our discussions about managing our success, we realized that we needed a strategic plan—essentially a road map that describes where we as a congregation and community are going over the next three to five years. The executive committee has met and are working on establishing a Strategic planning process which considers all these factors and asks ourselves: “What do we want CbJ to look like in the future and what resources do we need to get there?” What is clear to us is that our response

to growth must be rooted in human relationship—that is, we must maintain the intimate connections that we share with each other and with our clergy even if our numbers grow.

You will, of course, hear all about this planning process and will have an opportunity to participate and bring your input. So, as we approach the high holiday Season, while you take the time for self-assessment, please also give some consideration to our community and the role you can play in our ongoing success. Our success depends on all of you. From my family to yours, we wish you a happy and healthy New Year.
