DOES ANYTHING GIVE YOU GOOSE-BUMPS

FROM THE RABBIrsquoS DESK The home of the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven has been preserved and serves as a museum in Bonn Germany One historical gem in the museum is the piano upon which Beethoven composed most of his renowned works The

piano is estimated to be worth more than $50 million and is understandably roped off and out of the reach of the thousands of visitors who pass it by each day

The story is told about a group of students from Vassar College who were once visiting the Beethoven museum One of the students came to the room that held the piano and couldnrsquot resist the temptation to ask a museum guard if she could play it for a moment The guard allowed himself to be influenced by her generous tip and let the young woman beyond the ropes for a few moments She sat at the famed piano and knocked out several bars of Moonlight Sonata When she finished her classmates applauded

As she stepped back through the ropes the young woman asked the guard ldquoI suppose over the years all the great pianists that have come here have played the pianordquo ldquoNo missrdquo the guard replied ldquoIn fact just two years ago I was standing in this very place when Ignacy Paderewski visited the museum He was accompanied by the director of the museum and the international press who had all come in the hope that he would play the piano

ldquoWhen he entered the room he stood over there where your friends are standing and gazed at the piano in silent contemplation for almost fifteen minutes The director of the museum then invited him to play the piano

but with tears welling in his eyes Paderewski declined saying that he was not worthy even to touch itrdquo

Non-human mammals get what we call goosebumps the constriction of skin surrounding hair follicles when they feel threatened or attacked Only human beings get goosebumps for a different feeling awe Awe is the feeling of being in the presence of greatness of being exposed to that which is transcendent or extraordinary Paderewski was in a room with Beethovenrsquos piano and was frozen with awe The young student saw the piano and thought it would be cool to casually play it

Researchers believe that we are living in a time of awe deprivation Technological advances have made things once thought impossible not only real but normal expected even mundane and unimpressive We FaceTime with people on the other side of the globe without another thought we have search engines that access millions of pages of information in nanoseconds we instinctively use global positioning satellites to find the quickest route and avoid traffic The result of the speed with which breakthrough change and advance happens leaves us struggling to be impressed with anything

We have gone from calling everything ldquoawesomerdquo to reacting to everything by saying (or thinking) ldquoehrdquo The byproducts of being awe-deprived are increased arrogance decreased empathy greater challenge to find meaning and even failing health

A Wall Street Journal article describes how current research shows that the capacity to feel awe makes people more empathetic generous kind and humble The actual feeling of awe and the experiences that inspire it make us healthier improve our relationships and give more meaning to our lives The author writes ldquoAwe is an emotional response to something vast and it challenges and expands our way of seeing the world It might be triggered by an encounter with nature a religious experience a concert or a political rally

or sports event Wersquore not likely to find it on a treadmill at the gymrdquo

She goes on to describe that some experienced awe at the birth of a child others watching a meteor shower others visiting the Pine Forest in California and interestingly others who found it awe-inspiring to work with homeless people and witness their resilience and kindness Dr Dacher Keltner from UC Berkeley found that feeling awe can help fight depression and can even help reduce inflammation in the body Dr Paul Piff from UC Irvine explained that ldquoawe minimizes our individual identity and attunes us to things bigger than ourselvesrdquo

This week we officially begin Elul and with it the countdown towards the Yamim Noraim the Days of Awe On Rosh Hashanah we will coronate God as King of the Universe and remind ourselves of His awesome omnipotence and omniscience On Yom Kippur we will be evaluated and judged to determine if we are fulfilling our role in His renewed kingdom and the purpose for which we were created As described in Ursquonesaneh Tokef these days are in fact norah vrsquoayom they are simply and literally awesome

But we will only be moved by the awesomeness of these days if we still have the capacity for awe reverence and veneration If everything is so utterly unimpressive uninspiring and ordinary these days will be ritualistic and ceremonial empty and devoid of meaning and transformation

Rav Yitzchak Hutner zrdquotl explains that Amalek is the archrival of the Jewish people because their philosophy is the very antithesis of ours When recounting Amalekrsquos attack on the

Boca Raton Synagogue bull Valuing Diversity bull Celebrating UnityPage 3

Jewish people the Pasuk says ldquoAsher karcha baderech ndash they happened upon yourdquo Amalek believes in mikreh in chance randomness and happenstance They see nothing as chashuv nothing as significant meaningful or worthy of awe As a result Amalekrsquos attitude is to denigrate to knock down to destroy to be cynical and sarcastic Amalek mocks and makes fun they look at something or someone others are in awe of and they seek to demolish to degrade to vilify

We the Jewish people are charged to live life with the opposite attitude and approach Our mission is to live life with awe to see ourselves as a small part of something much greater Our charge is to see and create meaning and purpose to lift up to build to admire to revere and to venerate that which is worthy and important in the world

Rav Hutner describes that the battle between the attitude of Amalek and the attitude of the Torah is the battle between what he calls the korsquoach harsquochillul and the korsquoach harsquohillul The korsquoach harsquochillul is the power of skepticism the influence of that little voice inside each of us that like Amalek tries to get us to be cynical to mock and belittle rather than to respect and be filled with awe The korsquoach harsquohillul is the

capacity to praise honor identify and admire the beauty and the greatness which is sometimes beneath the surface

Preparing for the Days of Awe includes working to defeat the Amalek inside us It demands we weaken and eliminate the korsquoach harsquochillul our tendency or inclination towards cynicism and skepticism and strengthen and build up our capacity for korsquoach harsquohillul to see that which is impressive remarkable and praiseworthy in people places and things all around us

Awe is not only the result of being in the presence of or exposed to something worthy of awe Awe results from an openness willingness and interest to see greatness and be moved by it My brother Judah pointed out to me that when Yaakov Avinu first encounters Har HaMoriah he is unmoved and in fact goes to sleep Only after his dream and epiphany does he awaken with a sense of ldquoMah norah harsquomakom harsquozeh how awesome is this placerdquo Even a great person like Yaakov could encounter the holiest place in the world and at first find no meaning in it Only with new insight and a changed attitude did he see beyond the ordinary stones and identify the place for what it truly was norah awesome

The WSJ article suggests that to preserve and expand our capacity for awe we must make an effort to have three awe experiences a week This Elul look at something study something contemplate something admire someone experience something that makes you feel ldquoWow That is awesomerdquo ldquoThat is incrediblerdquo ldquoThat is humblingrdquo

Albert Einstein is quoted as saying ldquoThere are only two ways to live your life One is as though nothing is a miracle the other is as though everything is a miraclerdquo As we prepare for the Days of Awe letrsquos choose to see everything as a miracle and be filled with awe as a result

Have a good Shabbos

In the spirit of our mission ldquoValuing Diversity and Celebrating Unityrdquo we believe that a community is built on the collective engagement of individuals representing differing perspectives whether religious political or social As Boca Raton Synagogue is an environment where all of its members and visitors need to feel valued and welcomed members are required to comport themselves in a manner which reflects mutual respect and a sense of inclusiveness In our Synagogue we value debate about pressing issues This is consistent with the American democratic tradition Our sages saw the value of arguments conducted ldquoLShem Shamayimldquo for the sake of heaven believing that great minds who engage in respectful debate will arrive at better solutions They valued and welcomed alternate views as do we

ldquoDerech Eretzrdquo good and proper conduct and mutually respectful dialogue are core values of the Synagogue community These create a ldquosafe placerdquo for inspiration and spiritual growth the central purpose of the Synagogue It is a violation of Jewish law and ethics to use harsh language (vitriol) to demonize or to marginalize people with whom one may disagree Uncivil expression reflects negatively on our Synagogue as well as on the individuals who engage in such behavior

Boca Raton Synagogue expects its members to act and to speak with kindness and sensitivity to others It is only in this fashion that a strong vibrant and harmonious community can be created and maintained Adherence to this policy is a requirement for membership in good standing at the Boca Raton Synagogue

ldquoNow is the time while the last Holocaust survivors are still alive to back up our words with meaningful actionrdquo wrote the SenatorsPoland is the only affected nation that doesnrsquot have legislation dealing with confiscated restitution from the last century In March 2018 59 US Senators called on Poland to pass and enact such a law In May Morawiecki said that were Poland to pay restitution for those whose property was stolen in the Holocaust it would violate ldquointernational law and would also be a posthumous victory for Hitlerrdquo therefore ldquosomething like this will never happen

Eric Gallagher the Washington representative of the World Jewish Restoration Organization told Haaretz that the letter ldquodemonstrates once again that the United States Congress has not forgotten about Holocaust survivors and remains steadfast in pursuing justice for themrdquo

Normally when we read from more than one Torahmdashsuch as on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh or Shabbat Hanukkahmdashwe read a haftarah that corresponds to the last Torah section read Such that on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh we always read השמים כסאי regardless of the weekly parshah and on Shabbat Hanukah we read ציון בת ושמחי regardless of the week רני as well

However from the period beginning with the 17th of Tamuz through Rosh Ha-Shannah this pattern changes and instead of reading sections of Navi that correspond to the parshah we read sections that correspond to the time of the year Such that for the three weeks beginning with the Shabbat after the 17th of Tamuz we read sections that deal with the destruction of the Beit ha-Mikdash and beginning with Shabbat (תלת דפורענותא)Nahamu for the next seven weeks we read sections of consolation (דנחמתא (שבעה

A question arises what to do this Shabbat as we are in the midst of the דנחמתא שבעה but it is also Shabbat Rosh Hodesh Elul The

Ashkenazi practice is to read the Shabbat Rosh Hodesh haftarah of כסאי while השמים the Sephardim read סוערה the third of עניה the שבעה דנחמתא Both minhagim are rooted in a similar idea

The question becomes more complicated because כסאי שבעה is similar to the השמים in that all are found in the last few דנחמתאchapters of Sefer Yesharsquoayah and all eight discuss consolation Itrsquos the very last pasuk of כסאי that mentions both Shabbat השמים and Rosh Hodesh together that seems to make it an appropriate reading for that confluence of occasions

The Ashkenazi approach is somewhat more practical because technically speaking עניה (the standard haftarah for Rersquoeh) סוערהis actually the second half of the 54th chapter of Yesharsquoayah while the haftarah for Ki Teitze עקרה is from the first half רני of that very same chapter Such that while Ashkenazim will read השמים כסאי this week they will combine עקרה סוערה and רני עניה (which naturally flow together as part of a single chapter) for the haftarah of Parshat Ki Teitze This way they can accomplish

both reading the appropriate haftarah for Shabbat Rosh Hodesh as well as not lsquomissrsquo any of the שבעה דנחמתא by combining those two sections

Sephardim approach the question more thematically The essence of the haftarah of כסאי save for the last line seems to השמים be about consolation If so then the same message can be gotten across by following the pattern of the שבעה דנחמתא and reading סוערה But so as to also find a way to עניה mention the confluence of Rosh Hodesh and Shabbat at the conclusion of עניה סוערה this week Sephardim add in the first and last pesukim of כסאי which is really השמים the reason for this haftarah to be chosen for Rosh Hodesh

DOES ANYTHING GIVE YOU GOOSE-BUMPS

FROM THE RABBIrsquoS DESK The home of the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven has been preserved and serves as a museum in Bonn Germany One historical gem in the museum is the piano upon which Beethoven composed most of his renowned works The

piano is estimated to be worth more than $50 million and is understandably roped off and out of the reach of the thousands of visitors who pass it by each day

The story is told about a group of students from Vassar College who were once visiting the Beethoven museum One of the students came to the room that held the piano and couldnrsquot resist the temptation to ask a museum guard if she could play it for a moment The guard allowed himself to be influenced by her generous tip and let the young woman beyond the ropes for a few moments She sat at the famed piano and knocked out several bars of Moonlight Sonata When she finished her classmates applauded

As she stepped back through the ropes the young woman asked the guard ldquoI suppose over the years all the great pianists that have come here have played the pianordquo ldquoNo missrdquo the guard replied ldquoIn fact just two years ago I was standing in this very place when Ignacy Paderewski visited the museum He was accompanied by the director of the museum and the international press who had all come in the hope that he would play the piano

ldquoWhen he entered the room he stood over there where your friends are standing and gazed at the piano in silent contemplation for almost fifteen minutes The director of the museum then invited him to play the piano

but with tears welling in his eyes Paderewski declined saying that he was not worthy even to touch itrdquo

Non-human mammals get what we call goosebumps the constriction of skin surrounding hair follicles when they feel threatened or attacked Only human beings get goosebumps for a different feeling awe Awe is the feeling of being in the presence of greatness of being exposed to that which is transcendent or extraordinary Paderewski was in a room with Beethovenrsquos piano and was frozen with awe The young student saw the piano and thought it would be cool to casually play it

Researchers believe that we are living in a time of awe deprivation Technological advances have made things once thought impossible not only real but normal expected even mundane and unimpressive We FaceTime with people on the other side of the globe without another thought we have search engines that access millions of pages of information in nanoseconds we instinctively use global positioning satellites to find the quickest route and avoid traffic The result of the speed with which breakthrough change and advance happens leaves us struggling to be impressed with anything

We have gone from calling everything ldquoawesomerdquo to reacting to everything by saying (or thinking) ldquoehrdquo The byproducts of being awe-deprived are increased arrogance decreased empathy greater challenge to find meaning and even failing health

A Wall Street Journal article describes how current research shows that the capacity to feel awe makes people more empathetic generous kind and humble The actual feeling of awe and the experiences that inspire it make us healthier improve our relationships and give more meaning to our lives The author writes ldquoAwe is an emotional response to something vast and it challenges and expands our way of seeing the world It might be triggered by an encounter with nature a religious experience a concert or a political rally

or sports event Wersquore not likely to find it on a treadmill at the gymrdquo

She goes on to describe that some experienced awe at the birth of a child others watching a meteor shower others visiting the Pine Forest in California and interestingly others who found it awe-inspiring to work with homeless people and witness their resilience and kindness Dr Dacher Keltner from UC Berkeley found that feeling awe can help fight depression and can even help reduce inflammation in the body Dr Paul Piff from UC Irvine explained that ldquoawe minimizes our individual identity and attunes us to things bigger than ourselvesrdquo

This week we officially begin Elul and with it the countdown towards the Yamim Noraim the Days of Awe On Rosh Hashanah we will coronate God as King of the Universe and remind ourselves of His awesome omnipotence and omniscience On Yom Kippur we will be evaluated and judged to determine if we are fulfilling our role in His renewed kingdom and the purpose for which we were created As described in Ursquonesaneh Tokef these days are in fact norah vrsquoayom they are simply and literally awesome

But we will only be moved by the awesomeness of these days if we still have the capacity for awe reverence and veneration If everything is so utterly unimpressive uninspiring and ordinary these days will be ritualistic and ceremonial empty and devoid of meaning and transformation

Rav Yitzchak Hutner zrdquotl explains that Amalek is the archrival of the Jewish people because their philosophy is the very antithesis of ours When recounting Amalekrsquos attack on the

Boca Raton Synagogue bull Valuing Diversity bull Celebrating UnityPage 3

Jewish people the Pasuk says ldquoAsher karcha baderech ndash they happened upon yourdquo Amalek believes in mikreh in chance randomness and happenstance They see nothing as chashuv nothing as significant meaningful or worthy of awe As a result Amalekrsquos attitude is to denigrate to knock down to destroy to be cynical and sarcastic Amalek mocks and makes fun they look at something or someone others are in awe of and they seek to demolish to degrade to vilify

We the Jewish people are charged to live life with the opposite attitude and approach Our mission is to live life with awe to see ourselves as a small part of something much greater Our charge is to see and create meaning and purpose to lift up to build to admire to revere and to venerate that which is worthy and important in the world

Rav Hutner describes that the battle between the attitude of Amalek and the attitude of the Torah is the battle between what he calls the korsquoach harsquochillul and the korsquoach harsquohillul The korsquoach harsquochillul is the power of skepticism the influence of that little voice inside each of us that like Amalek tries to get us to be cynical to mock and belittle rather than to respect and be filled with awe The korsquoach harsquohillul is the

capacity to praise honor identify and admire the beauty and the greatness which is sometimes beneath the surface

Preparing for the Days of Awe includes working to defeat the Amalek inside us It demands we weaken and eliminate the korsquoach harsquochillul our tendency or inclination towards cynicism and skepticism and strengthen and build up our capacity for korsquoach harsquohillul to see that which is impressive remarkable and praiseworthy in people places and things all around us

Awe is not only the result of being in the presence of or exposed to something worthy of awe Awe results from an openness willingness and interest to see greatness and be moved by it My brother Judah pointed out to me that when Yaakov Avinu first encounters Har HaMoriah he is unmoved and in fact goes to sleep Only after his dream and epiphany does he awaken with a sense of ldquoMah norah harsquomakom harsquozeh how awesome is this placerdquo Even a great person like Yaakov could encounter the holiest place in the world and at first find no meaning in it Only with new insight and a changed attitude did he see beyond the ordinary stones and identify the place for what it truly was norah awesome

The WSJ article suggests that to preserve and expand our capacity for awe we must make an effort to have three awe experiences a week This Elul look at something study something contemplate something admire someone experience something that makes you feel ldquoWow That is awesomerdquo ldquoThat is incrediblerdquo ldquoThat is humblingrdquo

Albert Einstein is quoted as saying ldquoThere are only two ways to live your life One is as though nothing is a miracle the other is as though everything is a miraclerdquo As we prepare for the Days of Awe letrsquos choose to see everything as a miracle and be filled with awe as a result

Have a good Shabbos

In the spirit of our mission ldquoValuing Diversity and Celebrating Unityrdquo we believe that a community is built on the collective engagement of individuals representing differing perspectives whether religious political or social As Boca Raton Synagogue is an environment where all of its members and visitors need to feel valued and welcomed members are required to comport themselves in a manner which reflects mutual respect and a sense of inclusiveness In our Synagogue we value debate about pressing issues This is consistent with the American democratic tradition Our sages saw the value of arguments conducted ldquoLShem Shamayimldquo for the sake of heaven believing that great minds who engage in respectful debate will arrive at better solutions They valued and welcomed alternate views as do we

ldquoDerech Eretzrdquo good and proper conduct and mutually respectful dialogue are core values of the Synagogue community These create a ldquosafe placerdquo for inspiration and spiritual growth the central purpose of the Synagogue It is a violation of Jewish law and ethics to use harsh language (vitriol) to demonize or to marginalize people with whom one may disagree Uncivil expression reflects negatively on our Synagogue as well as on the individuals who engage in such behavior

Boca Raton Synagogue expects its members to act and to speak with kindness and sensitivity to others It is only in this fashion that a strong vibrant and harmonious community can be created and maintained Adherence to this policy is a requirement for membership in good standing at the Boca Raton Synagogue

SOCIAL ACTIONA bipartisan group of 88 US Senators has signed a letter to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asking him to ldquoact boldly and with urgency to help Poland resolve the issuerdquo of compensating Holocaust victims whose property was stolen by German Nazis Approximately 90 percent of Polandrsquos Jews were killed in the Holocaust

Crediting Pompeo with raising the issue in a statement in February about the matter the Senators said they were ldquodeeply troubledrdquo with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki responding that the issue has been ldquoresolvedrdquo

ldquoNow is the time while the last Holocaust survivors are still alive to back up our words with meaningful actionrdquo wrote the SenatorsPoland is the only affected nation that doesnrsquot have legislation dealing with confiscated restitution from the last century In March 2018 59 US Senators called on Poland to pass and enact such a law In May Morawiecki said that were Poland to pay restitution for those whose property was stolen in the Holocaust it would violate ldquointernational law and would also be a posthumous victory for Hitlerrdquo therefore ldquosomething like this will never happen

Eric Gallagher the Washington representative of the World Jewish Restoration Organization told Haaretz that the letter ldquodemonstrates once again that the United States Congress has not forgotten about Holocaust survivors and remains steadfast in pursuing justice for themrdquo

Normally when we read from more than one Torahmdashsuch as on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh or Shabbat Hanukkahmdashwe read a haftarah that corresponds to the last Torah section read Such that on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh we always read השמים כסאי regardless of the weekly parshah and on Shabbat Hanukah we read ציון בת ושמחי regardless of the week רני as well

However from the period beginning with the 17th of Tamuz through Rosh Ha-Shannah this pattern changes and instead of reading sections of Navi that correspond to the parshah we read sections that correspond to the time of the year Such that for the three weeks beginning with the Shabbat after the 17th of Tamuz we read sections that deal with the destruction of the Beit ha-Mikdash and beginning with Shabbat (תלת דפורענותא)Nahamu for the next seven weeks we read sections of consolation (דנחמתא (שבעה

A question arises what to do this Shabbat as we are in the midst of the דנחמתא שבעה but it is also Shabbat Rosh Hodesh Elul The

Ashkenazi practice is to read the Shabbat Rosh Hodesh haftarah of כסאי while השמים the Sephardim read סוערה the third of עניה the שבעה דנחמתא Both minhagim are rooted in a similar idea

The question becomes more complicated because כסאי שבעה is similar to the השמים in that all are found in the last few דנחמתאchapters of Sefer Yesharsquoayah and all eight discuss consolation Itrsquos the very last pasuk of כסאי that mentions both Shabbat השמים and Rosh Hodesh together that seems to make it an appropriate reading for that confluence of occasions

The Ashkenazi approach is somewhat more practical because technically speaking עניה (the standard haftarah for Rersquoeh) סוערהis actually the second half of the 54th chapter of Yesharsquoayah while the haftarah for Ki Teitze עקרה is from the first half רני of that very same chapter Such that while Ashkenazim will read השמים כסאי this week they will combine עקרה סוערה and רני עניה (which naturally flow together as part of a single chapter) for the haftarah of Parshat Ki Teitze This way they can accomplish

both reading the appropriate haftarah for Shabbat Rosh Hodesh as well as not lsquomissrsquo any of the שבעה דנחמתא by combining those two sections

Sephardim approach the question more thematically The essence of the haftarah of כסאי save for the last line seems to השמים be about consolation If so then the same message can be gotten across by following the pattern of the שבעה דנחמתא and reading סוערה But so as to also find a way to עניה mention the confluence of Rosh Hodesh and Shabbat at the conclusion of עניה סוערה this week Sephardim add in the first and last pesukim of כסאי which is really השמים the reason for this haftarah to be chosen for Rosh Hodesh

Boca Raton Synagogue bull Valuing Diversity bull Celebrating UnityPage 3

Jewish people the Pasuk says ldquoAsher karcha baderech ndash they happened upon yourdquo Amalek believes in mikreh in chance randomness and happenstance They see nothing as chashuv nothing as significant meaningful or worthy of awe As a result Amalekrsquos attitude is to denigrate to knock down to destroy to be cynical and sarcastic Amalek mocks and makes fun they look at something or someone others are in awe of and they seek to demolish to degrade to vilify

We the Jewish people are charged to live life with the opposite attitude and approach Our mission is to live life with awe to see ourselves as a small part of something much greater Our charge is to see and create meaning and purpose to lift up to build to admire to revere and to venerate that which is worthy and important in the world

Rav Hutner describes that the battle between the attitude of Amalek and the attitude of the Torah is the battle between what he calls the korsquoach harsquochillul and the korsquoach harsquohillul The korsquoach harsquochillul is the power of skepticism the influence of that little voice inside each of us that like Amalek tries to get us to be cynical to mock and belittle rather than to respect and be filled with awe The korsquoach harsquohillul is the

capacity to praise honor identify and admire the beauty and the greatness which is sometimes beneath the surface

Preparing for the Days of Awe includes working to defeat the Amalek inside us It demands we weaken and eliminate the korsquoach harsquochillul our tendency or inclination towards cynicism and skepticism and strengthen and build up our capacity for korsquoach harsquohillul to see that which is impressive remarkable and praiseworthy in people places and things all around us

Awe is not only the result of being in the presence of or exposed to something worthy of awe Awe results from an openness willingness and interest to see greatness and be moved by it My brother Judah pointed out to me that when Yaakov Avinu first encounters Har HaMoriah he is unmoved and in fact goes to sleep Only after his dream and epiphany does he awaken with a sense of ldquoMah norah harsquomakom harsquozeh how awesome is this placerdquo Even a great person like Yaakov could encounter the holiest place in the world and at first find no meaning in it Only with new insight and a changed attitude did he see beyond the ordinary stones and identify the place for what it truly was norah awesome

The WSJ article suggests that to preserve and expand our capacity for awe we must make an effort to have three awe experiences a week This Elul look at something study something contemplate something admire someone experience something that makes you feel ldquoWow That is awesomerdquo ldquoThat is incrediblerdquo ldquoThat is humblingrdquo

Albert Einstein is quoted as saying ldquoThere are only two ways to live your life One is as though nothing is a miracle the other is as though everything is a miraclerdquo As we prepare for the Days of Awe letrsquos choose to see everything as a miracle and be filled with awe as a result

Have a good Shabbos

In the spirit of our mission ldquoValuing Diversity and Celebrating Unityrdquo we believe that a community is built on the collective engagement of individuals representing differing perspectives whether religious political or social As Boca Raton Synagogue is an environment where all of its members and visitors need to feel valued and welcomed members are required to comport themselves in a manner which reflects mutual respect and a sense of inclusiveness In our Synagogue we value debate about pressing issues This is consistent with the American democratic tradition Our sages saw the value of arguments conducted ldquoLShem Shamayimldquo for the sake of heaven believing that great minds who engage in respectful debate will arrive at better solutions They valued and welcomed alternate views as do we

ldquoDerech Eretzrdquo good and proper conduct and mutually respectful dialogue are core values of the Synagogue community These create a ldquosafe placerdquo for inspiration and spiritual growth the central purpose of the Synagogue It is a violation of Jewish law and ethics to use harsh language (vitriol) to demonize or to marginalize people with whom one may disagree Uncivil expression reflects negatively on our Synagogue as well as on the individuals who engage in such behavior

Boca Raton Synagogue expects its members to act and to speak with kindness and sensitivity to others It is only in this fashion that a strong vibrant and harmonious community can be created and maintained Adherence to this policy is a requirement for membership in good standing at the Boca Raton Synagogue

SOCIAL ACTIONA bipartisan group of 88 US Senators has signed a letter to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asking him to ldquoact boldly and with urgency to help Poland resolve the issuerdquo of compensating Holocaust victims whose property was stolen by German Nazis Approximately 90 percent of Polandrsquos Jews were killed in the Holocaust

Crediting Pompeo with raising the issue in a statement in February about the matter the Senators said they were ldquodeeply troubledrdquo with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki responding that the issue has been ldquoresolvedrdquo

ldquoNow is the time while the last Holocaust survivors are still alive to back up our words with meaningful actionrdquo wrote the SenatorsPoland is the only affected nation that doesnrsquot have legislation dealing with confiscated restitution from the last century In March 2018 59 US Senators called on Poland to pass and enact such a law In May Morawiecki said that were Poland to pay restitution for those whose property was stolen in the Holocaust it would violate ldquointernational law and would also be a posthumous victory for Hitlerrdquo therefore ldquosomething like this will never happen

Eric Gallagher the Washington representative of the World Jewish Restoration Organization told Haaretz that the letter ldquodemonstrates once again that the United States Congress has not forgotten about Holocaust survivors and remains steadfast in pursuing justice for themrdquo

Normally when we read from more than one Torahmdashsuch as on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh or Shabbat Hanukkahmdashwe read a haftarah that corresponds to the last Torah section read Such that on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh we always read השמים כסאי regardless of the weekly parshah and on Shabbat Hanukah we read ציון בת ושמחי regardless of the week רני as well

However from the period beginning with the 17th of Tamuz through Rosh Ha-Shannah this pattern changes and instead of reading sections of Navi that correspond to the parshah we read sections that correspond to the time of the year Such that for the three weeks beginning with the Shabbat after the 17th of Tamuz we read sections that deal with the destruction of the Beit ha-Mikdash and beginning with Shabbat (תלת דפורענותא)Nahamu for the next seven weeks we read sections of consolation (דנחמתא (שבעה

A question arises what to do this Shabbat as we are in the midst of the דנחמתא שבעה but it is also Shabbat Rosh Hodesh Elul The

Ashkenazi practice is to read the Shabbat Rosh Hodesh haftarah of כסאי while השמים the Sephardim read סוערה the third of עניה the שבעה דנחמתא Both minhagim are rooted in a similar idea

The question becomes more complicated because כסאי שבעה is similar to the השמים in that all are found in the last few דנחמתאchapters of Sefer Yesharsquoayah and all eight discuss consolation Itrsquos the very last pasuk of כסאי that mentions both Shabbat השמים and Rosh Hodesh together that seems to make it an appropriate reading for that confluence of occasions

The Ashkenazi approach is somewhat more practical because technically speaking עניה (the standard haftarah for Rersquoeh) סוערהis actually the second half of the 54th chapter of Yesharsquoayah while the haftarah for Ki Teitze עקרה is from the first half רני of that very same chapter Such that while Ashkenazim will read השמים כסאי this week they will combine עקרה סוערה and רני עניה (which naturally flow together as part of a single chapter) for the haftarah of Parshat Ki Teitze This way they can accomplish

both reading the appropriate haftarah for Shabbat Rosh Hodesh as well as not lsquomissrsquo any of the שבעה דנחמתא by combining those two sections

Sephardim approach the question more thematically The essence of the haftarah of כסאי save for the last line seems to השמים be about consolation If so then the same message can be gotten across by following the pattern of the שבעה דנחמתא and reading סוערה But so as to also find a way to עניה mention the confluence of Rosh Hodesh and Shabbat at the conclusion of עניה סוערה this week Sephardim add in the first and last pesukim of כסאי which is really השמים the reason for this haftarah to be chosen for Rosh Hodesh

SOCIAL ACTIONA bipartisan group of 88 US Senators has signed a letter to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asking him to ldquoact boldly and with urgency to help Poland resolve the issuerdquo of compensating Holocaust victims whose property was stolen by German Nazis Approximately 90 percent of Polandrsquos Jews were killed in the Holocaust

Crediting Pompeo with raising the issue in a statement in February about the matter the Senators said they were ldquodeeply troubledrdquo with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki responding that the issue has been ldquoresolvedrdquo

ldquoNow is the time while the last Holocaust survivors are still alive to back up our words with meaningful actionrdquo wrote the SenatorsPoland is the only affected nation that doesnrsquot have legislation dealing with confiscated restitution from the last century In March 2018 59 US Senators called on Poland to pass and enact such a law In May Morawiecki said that were Poland to pay restitution for those whose property was stolen in the Holocaust it would violate ldquointernational law and would also be a posthumous victory for Hitlerrdquo therefore ldquosomething like this will never happen

Eric Gallagher the Washington representative of the World Jewish Restoration Organization told Haaretz that the letter ldquodemonstrates once again that the United States Congress has not forgotten about Holocaust survivors and remains steadfast in pursuing justice for themrdquo

Normally when we read from more than one Torahmdashsuch as on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh or Shabbat Hanukkahmdashwe read a haftarah that corresponds to the last Torah section read Such that on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh we always read השמים כסאי regardless of the weekly parshah and on Shabbat Hanukah we read ציון בת ושמחי regardless of the week רני as well

However from the period beginning with the 17th of Tamuz through Rosh Ha-Shannah this pattern changes and instead of reading sections of Navi that correspond to the parshah we read sections that correspond to the time of the year Such that for the three weeks beginning with the Shabbat after the 17th of Tamuz we read sections that deal with the destruction of the Beit ha-Mikdash and beginning with Shabbat (תלת דפורענותא)Nahamu for the next seven weeks we read sections of consolation (דנחמתא (שבעה

A question arises what to do this Shabbat as we are in the midst of the דנחמתא שבעה but it is also Shabbat Rosh Hodesh Elul The

Ashkenazi practice is to read the Shabbat Rosh Hodesh haftarah of כסאי while השמים the Sephardim read סוערה the third of עניה the שבעה דנחמתא Both minhagim are rooted in a similar idea

The question becomes more complicated because כסאי שבעה is similar to the השמים in that all are found in the last few דנחמתאchapters of Sefer Yesharsquoayah and all eight discuss consolation Itrsquos the very last pasuk of כסאי that mentions both Shabbat השמים and Rosh Hodesh together that seems to make it an appropriate reading for that confluence of occasions

The Ashkenazi approach is somewhat more practical because technically speaking עניה (the standard haftarah for Rersquoeh) סוערהis actually the second half of the 54th chapter of Yesharsquoayah while the haftarah for Ki Teitze עקרה is from the first half רני of that very same chapter Such that while Ashkenazim will read השמים כסאי this week they will combine עקרה סוערה and רני עניה (which naturally flow together as part of a single chapter) for the haftarah of Parshat Ki Teitze This way they can accomplish

both reading the appropriate haftarah for Shabbat Rosh Hodesh as well as not lsquomissrsquo any of the שבעה דנחמתא by combining those two sections

Sephardim approach the question more thematically The essence of the haftarah of כסאי save for the last line seems to השמים be about consolation If so then the same message can be gotten across by following the pattern of the שבעה דנחמתא and reading סוערה But so as to also find a way to עניה mention the confluence of Rosh Hodesh and Shabbat at the conclusion of עניה סוערה this week Sephardim add in the first and last pesukim of כסאי which is really השמים the reason for this haftarah to be chosen for Rosh Hodesh

SOCIAL ACTIONA bipartisan group of 88 US Senators has signed a letter to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asking him to ldquoact boldly and with urgency to help Poland resolve the issuerdquo of compensating Holocaust victims whose property was stolen by German Nazis Approximately 90 percent of Polandrsquos Jews were killed in the Holocaust

Crediting Pompeo with raising the issue in a statement in February about the matter the Senators said they were ldquodeeply troubledrdquo with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki responding that the issue has been ldquoresolvedrdquo

ldquoNow is the time while the last Holocaust survivors are still alive to back up our words with meaningful actionrdquo wrote the SenatorsPoland is the only affected nation that doesnrsquot have legislation dealing with confiscated restitution from the last century In March 2018 59 US Senators called on Poland to pass and enact such a law In May Morawiecki said that were Poland to pay restitution for those whose property was stolen in the Holocaust it would violate ldquointernational law and would also be a posthumous victory for Hitlerrdquo therefore ldquosomething like this will never happen

Eric Gallagher the Washington representative of the World Jewish Restoration Organization told Haaretz that the letter ldquodemonstrates once again that the United States Congress has not forgotten about Holocaust survivors and remains steadfast in pursuing justice for themrdquo

Normally when we read from more than one Torahmdashsuch as on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh or Shabbat Hanukkahmdashwe read a haftarah that corresponds to the last Torah section read Such that on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh we always read השמים כסאי regardless of the weekly parshah and on Shabbat Hanukah we read ציון בת ושמחי regardless of the week רני as well

However from the period beginning with the 17th of Tamuz through Rosh Ha-Shannah this pattern changes and instead of reading sections of Navi that correspond to the parshah we read sections that correspond to the time of the year Such that for the three weeks beginning with the Shabbat after the 17th of Tamuz we read sections that deal with the destruction of the Beit ha-Mikdash and beginning with Shabbat (תלת דפורענותא)Nahamu for the next seven weeks we read sections of consolation (דנחמתא (שבעה

A question arises what to do this Shabbat as we are in the midst of the דנחמתא שבעה but it is also Shabbat Rosh Hodesh Elul The

Ashkenazi practice is to read the Shabbat Rosh Hodesh haftarah of כסאי while השמים the Sephardim read סוערה the third of עניה the שבעה דנחמתא Both minhagim are rooted in a similar idea

The question becomes more complicated because כסאי שבעה is similar to the השמים in that all are found in the last few דנחמתאchapters of Sefer Yesharsquoayah and all eight discuss consolation Itrsquos the very last pasuk of כסאי that mentions both Shabbat השמים and Rosh Hodesh together that seems to make it an appropriate reading for that confluence of occasions

The Ashkenazi approach is somewhat more practical because technically speaking עניה (the standard haftarah for Rersquoeh) סוערהis actually the second half of the 54th chapter of Yesharsquoayah while the haftarah for Ki Teitze עקרה is from the first half רני of that very same chapter Such that while Ashkenazim will read השמים כסאי this week they will combine עקרה סוערה and רני עניה (which naturally flow together as part of a single chapter) for the haftarah of Parshat Ki Teitze This way they can accomplish

both reading the appropriate haftarah for Shabbat Rosh Hodesh as well as not lsquomissrsquo any of the שבעה דנחמתא by combining those two sections

Sephardim approach the question more thematically The essence of the haftarah of כסאי save for the last line seems to השמים be about consolation If so then the same message can be gotten across by following the pattern of the שבעה דנחמתא and reading סוערה But so as to also find a way to עניה mention the confluence of Rosh Hodesh and Shabbat at the conclusion of עניה סוערה this week Sephardim add in the first and last pesukim of כסאי which is really השמים the reason for this haftarah to be chosen for Rosh Hodesh

SOCIAL ACTIONA bipartisan group of 88 US Senators has signed a letter to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asking him to ldquoact boldly and with urgency to help Poland resolve the issuerdquo of compensating Holocaust victims whose property was stolen by German Nazis Approximately 90 percent of Polandrsquos Jews were killed in the Holocaust

Crediting Pompeo with raising the issue in a statement in February about the matter the Senators said they were ldquodeeply troubledrdquo with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki responding that the issue has been ldquoresolvedrdquo

ldquoNow is the time while the last Holocaust survivors are still alive to back up our words with meaningful actionrdquo wrote the SenatorsPoland is the only affected nation that doesnrsquot have legislation dealing with confiscated restitution from the last century In March 2018 59 US Senators called on Poland to pass and enact such a law In May Morawiecki said that were Poland to pay restitution for those whose property was stolen in the Holocaust it would violate ldquointernational law and would also be a posthumous victory for Hitlerrdquo therefore ldquosomething like this will never happen

Eric Gallagher the Washington representative of the World Jewish Restoration Organization told Haaretz that the letter ldquodemonstrates once again that the United States Congress has not forgotten about Holocaust survivors and remains steadfast in pursuing justice for themrdquo

Normally when we read from more than one Torahmdashsuch as on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh or Shabbat Hanukkahmdashwe read a haftarah that corresponds to the last Torah section read Such that on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh we always read השמים כסאי regardless of the weekly parshah and on Shabbat Hanukah we read ציון בת ושמחי regardless of the week רני as well

However from the period beginning with the 17th of Tamuz through Rosh Ha-Shannah this pattern changes and instead of reading sections of Navi that correspond to the parshah we read sections that correspond to the time of the year Such that for the three weeks beginning with the Shabbat after the 17th of Tamuz we read sections that deal with the destruction of the Beit ha-Mikdash and beginning with Shabbat (תלת דפורענותא)Nahamu for the next seven weeks we read sections of consolation (דנחמתא (שבעה

A question arises what to do this Shabbat as we are in the midst of the דנחמתא שבעה but it is also Shabbat Rosh Hodesh Elul The

Ashkenazi practice is to read the Shabbat Rosh Hodesh haftarah of כסאי while השמים the Sephardim read סוערה the third of עניה the שבעה דנחמתא Both minhagim are rooted in a similar idea

The question becomes more complicated because כסאי שבעה is similar to the השמים in that all are found in the last few דנחמתאchapters of Sefer Yesharsquoayah and all eight discuss consolation Itrsquos the very last pasuk of כסאי that mentions both Shabbat השמים and Rosh Hodesh together that seems to make it an appropriate reading for that confluence of occasions

The Ashkenazi approach is somewhat more practical because technically speaking עניה (the standard haftarah for Rersquoeh) סוערהis actually the second half of the 54th chapter of Yesharsquoayah while the haftarah for Ki Teitze עקרה is from the first half רני of that very same chapter Such that while Ashkenazim will read השמים כסאי this week they will combine עקרה סוערה and רני עניה (which naturally flow together as part of a single chapter) for the haftarah of Parshat Ki Teitze This way they can accomplish

both reading the appropriate haftarah for Shabbat Rosh Hodesh as well as not lsquomissrsquo any of the שבעה דנחמתא by combining those two sections

Sephardim approach the question more thematically The essence of the haftarah of כסאי save for the last line seems to השמים be about consolation If so then the same message can be gotten across by following the pattern of the שבעה דנחמתא and reading סוערה But so as to also find a way to עניה mention the confluence of Rosh Hodesh and Shabbat at the conclusion of עניה סוערה this week Sephardim add in the first and last pesukim of כסאי which is really השמים the reason for this haftarah to be chosen for Rosh Hodesh

Normally when we read from more than one Torahmdashsuch as on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh or Shabbat Hanukkahmdashwe read a haftarah that corresponds to the last Torah section read Such that on Shabbat Rosh Hodesh we always read השמים כסאי regardless of the weekly parshah and on Shabbat Hanukah we read ציון בת ושמחי regardless of the week רני as well

However from the period beginning with the 17th of Tamuz through Rosh Ha-Shannah this pattern changes and instead of reading sections of Navi that correspond to the parshah we read sections that correspond to the time of the year Such that for the three weeks beginning with the Shabbat after the 17th of Tamuz we read sections that deal with the destruction of the Beit ha-Mikdash and beginning with Shabbat (תלת דפורענותא)Nahamu for the next seven weeks we read sections of consolation (דנחמתא (שבעה

A question arises what to do this Shabbat as we are in the midst of the דנחמתא שבעה but it is also Shabbat Rosh Hodesh Elul The

Ashkenazi practice is to read the Shabbat Rosh Hodesh haftarah of כסאי while השמים the Sephardim read סוערה the third of עניה the שבעה דנחמתא Both minhagim are rooted in a similar idea

The question becomes more complicated because כסאי שבעה is similar to the השמים in that all are found in the last few דנחמתאchapters of Sefer Yesharsquoayah and all eight discuss consolation Itrsquos the very last pasuk of כסאי that mentions both Shabbat השמים and Rosh Hodesh together that seems to make it an appropriate reading for that confluence of occasions

The Ashkenazi approach is somewhat more practical because technically speaking עניה (the standard haftarah for Rersquoeh) סוערהis actually the second half of the 54th chapter of Yesharsquoayah while the haftarah for Ki Teitze עקרה is from the first half רני of that very same chapter Such that while Ashkenazim will read השמים כסאי this week they will combine עקרה סוערה and רני עניה (which naturally flow together as part of a single chapter) for the haftarah of Parshat Ki Teitze This way they can accomplish

both reading the appropriate haftarah for Shabbat Rosh Hodesh as well as not lsquomissrsquo any of the שבעה דנחמתא by combining those two sections

Sephardim approach the question more thematically The essence of the haftarah of כסאי save for the last line seems to השמים be about consolation If so then the same message can be gotten across by following the pattern of the שבעה דנחמתא and reading סוערה But so as to also find a way to עניה mention the confluence of Rosh Hodesh and Shabbat at the conclusion of עניה סוערה this week Sephardim add in the first and last pesukim of כסאי which is really השמים the reason for this haftarah to be chosen for Rosh Hodesh
