The biblical incident which figures most prominently in the Rosh Hashannah service is the story of the Akedah, the binding of Isaac. We

encounter a host of commentaries to this towering episode throughout the liturgy this day.

Our sages tell us that as Abraham and Isaac and their servants approached Mount Moriah, the divinely designated summit for the sacrifice, Abraham turned to his servants with a question.

“Do you see anything in the distance?” They stared and shook their heads.

“No, we see only the trackless wastes of the wilderness.” Abraham then turned to Isaac with the very same question.

“Yes,” said the son. “I see a mountain, majestic and beautiful, and a cloud of glory hovers above it.”

It was at this point that Abraham directed his servants to remain behind while he and Isaac continued alone.

Here then are two people facing in the same direction, surveying the identical scene, coming up with completely different impressions. One sees only emptiness and barrenness ahead. The second sees the majestic and challenging mountains. The difference obviously lay in the eyes of the beholder.

Skipping the centuries now and coming right down to where we are, let us each ask ourselves the question, “What do you see?”

On these days when we pray for life, we might,

therefore, ask ourselves, “What do you see in life?”

When you look at your life, do you always see reasons for grumbling or gratefulness? Do you feel that you have been shortchanged or overpaid? Do you constantly feel your cup is half empty, or in the words of the psalmist, “my cup runneth over?”

Matthew Arnold has written that “one thing only has been lent to youth and age in common —it is discontent.” Our favorite posture is one of protest and we who have so much, so very, very much, often permit the one thing we lack to blind us to the wealth we possess.

Another question. When you look at life, do you see only

your life and your needs, or do you see the lives and the needs of others as well? Do you see life as a campaign of acquisition or as an adventure in sharing? This question is basic because it spills over into every area of life. How do you regard your mate in marriage? Someone created for your comfort and convenience or someone whose life you can enrich and enlarge? How do you regard your fellow human being? One whose main function in life is to serve as a stepping-stone to your success or someone with hopes and needs just like yourself?

At this holy season, we are called upon to embrace life, to express thanks for our lives and the health of those we love. We are called upon to lean into life. As my teacher, Rabbi Sigel used to say, “Cultivate an ‘attitude of gratitude’ for all that we enjoy.”

As we approach these days of awe, Kaycee and I wish everyone a healthy and contented New Year. May we be blessed with the dew of heaven and the love of the Almighty.

Shanah tovah,

pRESIDEnT’S mESSAgE

Dear Friends,

Another year has passed as we welcome the High Holy Days for the year 5777 in the Hebrew calendar, better known to most of us as 2016-2017. The Hebrew

calendar counts the years from creation to today, calculated by adding up the ages of luminaries in the Torah back to the time of creation. Although modern science may dispute our arithmetic, the significance of this tradition is its reminder of the importance of looking back to where we came from and remembering who preceded us. Two of the founding principles at the creation of Congregation Beit Tikva twenty-one years ago were love of Israel and respect for our elders. A year ago we were celebrating our 20th Anniversary as a Congregation, and we had just dedicated the new Limmud Educational Wing and the Leonard A. Helman Center for Jewish Learning. Just this past month, we honored two of our founding members, Gail and Sonny Rapoport, for their years of dedicated service to our community. On Yom Kippur we will remember the loved ones who have gone before us, the significance of their lives to us individually and to our Congregation.

And yet, the years in the Hebrew calendar increase by one every year as we look ahead, and Rosh Hashanah reminds us not only to look back but to live for the future. Our founding Rabbi Leonard Helman is now a fond and lasting memory whose imprint upon our Congregation will always be felt. His successor, Rabbi Martin Levy continues to lead us confidently into the future because that is how it must be. The retirement of our beloved Cantor Michael Linder brought us to our current Cantor Ephraim Herrera to lead us in song and prayer each Sabbath because that is how it must be. As we recognize and honor the twenty-one years of service by Gail as our Executive Director, we also look to the future with our new Temple Administrator, Toni Robinson, who joined our family in August, because we must move forward. We owe it to all of those who came before us to continue on the path they set for us.

As Congregation Beit Tikva

moves into its twenty-second year as Santa Fe’s “House of Hope,” each of us must remember that the Congregation needs our support, particularly our financial support, to continue its mission. After celebrating our twentieth anniversary, the Board announced the creation of our Future Fund as a fundraising plan to secure the temple’s financial position through our twenty-fifth anniversary. We also established a Legacy Fund as a mechanism for members who want to remember us in their estate plans. The Rosh Hashanah Honey Project is a fun and inexpensive way to greet other members at the High Holy Days and to support the Congregation. Individual gifts throughout the year in memory or in honor of a loved one or a special event are another simple and effective way to support the temple. Finally, each year the board plans and implements special fundraising programs and events, like the Maccabeats concert last month, to encourage membership support.

At this New Year, I pray that you and your families will thrive and that all of you will continue your support for your Congregation.

Shalom, Paul grace, President505.690.8505

Holy Days fundraiser that will be fun and sweet. For

our third year we are still limiting the fundraiser to

a L’Shana Tova honey jar to a member of our congregation. Of

course, you can send to more than one member. For $180 you

would be sending to every Beit Tikva member. members will

receive one jar of honey plus a card with the names of their

well wishers. The jars of honey and the attached cards will be

picked up on Rosh Hashanah at services.  

We are looking forward to all members of our congregation

participating in our L’Shana Tova fund raiser.

selichotSaturday, September 24, 7:00 pmWe will celebrate Selichot service with Rabbi Martin Levy accompanied by Cantor Ephraim Herrara who will be sharing beautiful melodies specific to this service.

Selichot are special penitential prayers recited the week before Rosh Hashanah. The service is composed of prayers asking for forgiveness. The central prayer, repeated a number of times, is that of the 13 merciful attributes of God, taken from Exodus 34:6-7.

Member ticketsMember tickets will be mailed soon. All members must have three quarters of their dues pledge paid by that date in order to receive their tickets. Please call the office if you have not made your pledge or wish to make special arrangements. Thank you for your cooperation.

High Holy day flowers for rosh Hashanah and Yom KippurBoth arrangements have been generously donated by Barbara & Jerry Bork.

Parking for All services at the synagogueHigh Holy Day parking will be across the street at the Pecos Trail Inn Motel. Security officers will escort and assist us in crossing Old Pecos Trail. Parking at the synagogue will be reserved for the handicapped.

Help feed the HungryWe hand out grocery bags at Rosh Hashanah, to be filled with non-perishable groceries for Food For Santa Fe, Inc., which provides food for the needy. The bags should be returned by Yom Kippur Wednesday, October 12. Thank you.

tashlichMonday, October 3, 4:00pmThis is a delightful High Holy Day tradition. On Rosh Hashanah, at 4:00pm we will meet at the Santa Fe River across from the Inn of The Alameda. We will read the Tashlich prayers and then cast bread crumbs into the river, symbolizing the “casting of our sins into the water.” Be sure to join Rabbi Levy as he leads this very moving and special service.

Building and decorating the Sukkah starts at 4:00pm with a pot-luck dinner at 6:00pm. The traditional outdoor ceremony in our Sukkah will follow with a service and prayers. Decorative items you may bring can include items such as tree branches, fruits, vegetables, gourds, chilies, and flowers. Be sure to bring your favorite dish for sharing in delicious abundance.

pilgrimage festivals, Sukkot has an agricultural element. It marks the time of the harvest, of the final ingathering of produce before winter. The most important ritual of Sukkot is “living” in the Sukkah. There is a custom of inviting ushpizin, or symbolic guests, each day to join us in the Sukkah. The other important mitzvah is that of the arba minim, the 4 species, also called the lulav and esrog (palm branch and citron).

Come and enjoy the afternoon and early evening in and around the Sukkah and along our walkway and bench area in our breathtaking outdoor space. Don’t miss this wonderful occasion as we gather as a community to celebrate the fall harvest, and rejoice in God’s blessings.

simchat torahSunday, October 23, 7:30 pm Celebrating the TorahJoin us for a delightful service with an oneg including traditional taffy apple treats.Simchat Torah is a Hebrew term which means “rejoicing with the Torah.” The annual cycle of reading the Torah is completed and

begun anew, with the last section of Deuteronomy and the first section of Genesis read in succession after a festival parade of the Torah scrolls amidst singing and rejoicing. It is one of the happiest days of the Jewish calendar.
