From Rabbi Holtz’s Study

I love it when the High Holydays fall in October! It means that Elul, the month of introspection leading up to Rosh Hashanah, falls in September. And that means that we all have more time to truly prepare to get the most out of the Holydays.

It’s the obligation of all of us leading services – clergy, lay-leaders, choir, accompanist, Torah readers, and more – to put in the time needed in advance to make the High Holyday services as beautiful and accessible as possible. It’s your job to take advantage of what we’re offering, and, more to the point, to do the preparation needed so that you arrive ready to find meaning and spirituality in the experience.

In addition to your own introspection, here are two opportunities to get ready for the Holydays:

Saturday, September 21, 7:00pm, “The Gates are Closing” We’re presenting a staged reading of this powerful one-act play by Merle Feld, followed by a discussion and then our Selichot service. Here’s what one rabbi had to say about the play:

“We offered the reading last night to high acclaim. The readers especially felt the impact of the themes. And the discussion following the reading was lively, compelling, and illumi-nating. The issues you raise are so real for most of us – unresolved issues with those in our present and in our past – including God, a desire to make ritual more meaningful but perhaps lacking the tools to do so, the brutal honesty of really being able to forgive, and the underlying preoccupation with a reach for closeness – with God, with each other, and with ourselves. I cannot imagine a more meaningful, real preparation for the High Holidays than performing your play. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.” –Rabbi Michael Whitman, The Adath, Hampstead, Quebec

WE NEED READERS!!! In order to make this wonderful event happen, we need 10 of you to take the parts in the play. No memorization needed. We’ll have 2 run-throughs in advance at times we agree upon. Please call or email me and I’ll give you all the info!!

Tuesday, September 24, 7:30-9:00pm, The New Reform Prayerbook has arrived. Here’s how to use it to elevate your prayer: After more than a generation of use, we’ve retired Gates of Repentance and brought in Mishkan haNefesh. There will be many familiar readings, but there is much that is different in this book. So much, in fact, that it takes up two books, one for Rosh Hashanah and one for Yom Kippur! Do yourself a favor and spend the time getting familiar with what to expect this year. It will make your Holydays that much holier!

Renée, Yoni, Avi, and Shira join me in wishing you and yours a sweet, healthy, peaceful New Year.

Peace,

Rabbi David K. Holtz

Notes from Cantor Margot E.B. Goldberg

Music sets the scene for occasions from a romantic dinner to a watching a horror movie. Music ignites memory, from Pomp and Circumstance, to the national anthem, to the song you danced to at your bar/bat mitzvah, prom, or wedding. Music makes us feel.

Nusach is the word that describes the use of music during worship and informs us of the time of day and year. Even if you haven’t been steeped in nusach, you know how this works. It’s like walking into a mall in December and knowing just what time of year it is by the music that is playing. Nusach can also evoke emotion. Think about how you feel every time you hear Hava Nagila. What about the sound of a traditional service and the memory of sitting with your grandfather and playing with his tzitzit? For me, it is the memory of the woman in the choir loft singing the same short line in English at the end of the Kaddish prayer each week at Shabbat Services. Her kol d’mamah dakah, her still clear voice, moved me every time.

Scientists are beginning to understand the effects of music on the brain. It seems that whether listening to or making music, there is proof music has the power to soothe, strengthen and stir our memory, and strengthen the connections between our left and right brain. Further studies have concluded that communal singing brings people closer together. So what does this say about prayer?

The phrase “when we sing, we pray twice” is attributed to St. Augustine. Although everyone does not agree the quote should be credited to St. Augustine, the suggestion is “singing provides unique aids to mindful prayer. When we pray, we form the words in our mind and then speak them...when we sing we add another step. After thinking and then forming the words, we then hear and enjoy them as they return to our ears in song. In this way we essentially pray twice: once as the orator and once as the congregation. Thus we are given the opportunity to focus more fully on the prayer we sing.” (catholicexchange.com/is-singing-praying-twice, November 18, 2015, Is Singing Praying Twice?, Caitlin Marchand)

Over the past decade, the music at TBA has changed with these ideas in mind. Rabbi and I have worked to create participatory services with, we hope, the right blend of nostalgic and new melodies to remind us of our past, create worship where you can focus more fully, and introduce you to new communal melodies.

As we move in to this year’s High Holyday observance and introduce those who attend Reform services to the new machzor. we see this as an opportunity to continue innovating and making some slow changes in our musical settings. I promise that we understand the importance of familiarity and nostalgia, especially as we are all introduced to the new translations and readings of Mishkan HaNefesh. We look forward to this change and hope you will too. We hope you will “sing and pray twice,” that you will listen to the music all around you, and add your voice. Let the voices reverberate back towards you and take it all in while also taking the “opportunity to focus more fully on the prayer” we will offer to God.

L’shalom, Cantor Margot E.B. Goldberg

From the Director of Education4Religious School News

Growing up my mother would often describe blessings like the weather. Rain was always viewed as a blessing. Perhaps it was because she’s the daughter of a coffee farmer. If the land got enough rain rest assured that my family would have a good crop. I am so fortunate that I grew up in a home that often focused on the blessings that were in front of us, and hold

onto knowing that there were blessings yet to come.

Each year brings its own ups-and-downs and twists and turns. As we approach the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah is my opportunity to pause and take an inventory of the blessings that were granted to me this past year. I look for the quiet moments that intersect my busy world. I am truly grateful for all the blessings that I have in my life.

PREPARING FOR ROSH HASHANAH I usually begin preparing for the High Holy Day in August. There were times this was not easy, most notably in 2017, when Hurricane Maria devastated the island of Puerto Rico. I thought, “how could this be happening while I was sitting down to a hot meal, while my family on the island had to go without?” It became even more challenging as I was leading children’s services during this time. My mind turned back to growing up in a family that focuses on blessings, knowing that we can always find something to be grateful for. Perhaps this way I am usually a happy person, even during the dark times.

BEING IN COMMUNITY WITH ONE ANOTHER This year I am looking forward to getting to know our learners better; to continue to work alongside our educa-tors and Clergy, fostering a safe and loving learning space. This will be a space where all learners can feel that they are able to explore all the questions that they can think of.

This year we are blessed to have three Shinshinim working with our children on Sundays and Mondays. They will be with us to infuse our curriculum through an Israeli lens. Thank you to The Fran Friedman Fund for partnering with us to make this unique opportunity possible. A very special thank you goes out to Marla Peers, who continues to work diligently to help make this program a reality at TBA.

Last year we were gifted with the opportunity to come together, in conjunction with the Shames JCC, to work on the Butterfly Trail Project. The Butterfly Trail is an educationally artistic project that memorializes the 1.5 million children who died in the Holocaust and honors the survivors. Thank you to the Verter Fund which helped make this possible.

I wish everyone a L’Shana Tovah and many blessings in the coming year!

Yanira Quinones, Director of Education

CALLING ALL ACTORS!Your talents are needed for

our Selichot program on Saturday, September 21, 7:00pm

We are presenting “The Gates are Closing,” a powerful one-act play

by Merle Feld.

HERE’S WHAT ONE REVIEWER SAID:

“Feld tells the stories of 10 people meeting to pray on Yom Kippur and facing themselves. It is a play full of tough and liberating honesty. Feld has hold of a

vital feeling too few people try to invoke: the feeling of telling something you have carried alone. The

weight lifts, and you are sad and tired and released and reminded that things can make sense again.”

WE NEED READERS!!! In order to make this wonderful event

happen, we need 10 of you to take the parts in the play. No memorization needed. We’ll have 2 run-throughs in advance at times we agree upon.

Please call or email Rabbi Holtz for info and to receive your role!

The New Reform Machzor Has

promises to make your High Holyday prayer experience even better. A little familiarization will go a long way to making that promise come true. So, please join Rabbi Holtz for an interactive class,

A women was brutally raped as she returned from the mikvah.... The crime was called in by Rina Lazarus and Decker is relieved to discover she is a calm and intelligent witness. She is also the only one in the sheltered community willing to speak of this unspeakable violation. As Rina tries to steer Decker through the maze of religious laws, the two grow closer. But before they get to the bottom of this horrendous crime, revelations come to light that are so shocking, they threaten to come between the hard-nosed cop and the deeply religious woman with whom he has become irrevocably linked.

As we start our first year as chairs of Member Services, we ask ourselves what creates and what invigorates a community.

We’ve started with three goals: (1) continuing to foster an environment that attracts and welcomes new mem-bers, (2) deepening the community’s engagement with TBA and with Judaism, and (3) building connections. And we’re thinking about the commu-nication that can help make these happen.

Over the next few months, we’ll highlight each of these areas and let you know what we are doing. Along the way, we hope that you’ll let us know your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions.

Our first step has been to reach out to new members. With the help of the Fundraising Committee, which donated TBA cookbooks, we created welcome packages. A team of volunteers is now delivering them personally, and learning more about the people and families who have chosen to join TBA. We are also planning an event for all members who have joined within the last five years – we look forward to meeting all of them and learning what they think will make their experience at TBA meaningful. We have also started efforts to reach out to new members.

Equipped with a new banner, activities for kids and friendly TBA members, we greeted prospectives at the WJC Jewish Music and Art Festival in Valhalla, and will have a table at the

Irvington Farmers’ Market on September 22. Thanks for letting us know if you can join us!

So, who was the first person to greet you when you first walked into TBA? We expect that, like both of us, you remember.

Shalom new members and old friends!

Dedications may be purchased for a $50.00 minimum donation for each set, and may be used to honor someone special, commemorate a life cycle event, remember a loved one, or to show your support for our congregation.

Our congregation needs 1,000 sets, so we are asking all families to dedicate multiple sets to meet our goal of having a dedication in every copy. Please send in your order by Friday, September 13, 2019 so we have enough time to prepare and include the book plates for the High Holydays.

Fran Friedman Fund for the Enrichment of Children: Lifting up WestchesterA donation made by the Fran Friedman Fund for the Enrichment of Children enabled a homeless child to enjoy four weeks of stimulating, recreational activities at the Brighter Futures Summer Day Camp run by Lifting Up Westchester (LUW), a 501 (c) (3) organization based in White Plains.

Nearly 100 homeless and disadvantaged campers aged 5-13 participated in the program. If not for the program, these children would spend their summer idle with increased exposure to the risks of drugs, alcohol, and drug activity.

In addition to swimming, sports, arts & crafts, music, and reading, there is an educational component to prevent summer academic slide. Older children learn responsibility through the camp’s Counselor-in-Training program; with many later becoming counselors.

The motto of LUW is “Where Hope Takes Flight, One Person At A Time.” Its mission statement is Restoring Hope to Westchester County’s men, women, and children in need by providing them with food, shelter, and support – and lifting them to greater self-sufficiency with dignity and respect.

Other programs run by LUW include Grace’s Kitchen, the largest soup kitchen in White Plains, where no one is ever turned away; the Open Arms

Men’s Shelter, which is White Plains’ only transitional and emergency drop-in shelter for single, homeless men. The shelter provides beds, meals, clothing, and case management for up to 52 homeless men each day.

LUW’s Samaritan House Women’s Shelter provides transitional and emergency housing for up to 25 home-less women. Its Housing Services works to prevent eviction and homelessness through programs that include rental subsidies and budget counseling.

LUW also offers programs for the elderly and for disabled individuals. During the school year, Brighter Futures shifts its focus to after-school tutoring and enrichment activities for children from homeless and low-income families.

BEGINNING ANEW: Rosh Hashanah Re-inventedMonday, September 10, 10:00-11:30am at Shames JCC

Social justice and Judaism have gone hand in hand since Abraham pleaded with God to save the condemned cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, by arguing even on behalf of strangers against a perceived injustice.

Today many of us are struggling to balance what is asked of us as Jews, as humans, with also trying to live our lives when we have limited resources and time.

This Rosh Hashanah we explore how integral Jews have been to social justice and how we can continue to help while maintaining balance in our lives. As before, our service will be interactive, inclusive, and provocative. Group discussions, examination of the tradi-tions, poems, prayers, and songs will all be a part of it.

The program is geared to adults and children over 10 (who must be accom-panied by their parents). We regret that babysitting is not available for this program.
