1 As I write, we are nearing the end of the month of Av, which recalls one of the saddest days of the Jewish calendar: Tish’ah B’Av. Since its observance, we have moved from the theme of rebuke to the message of comfort, primarily conveyed through the seven haftaroth that are read in the seven-week period leading up to Rosh HaShanah. In the midst of this time, we will also enter into the month of Elul during which our tradition implores us to begin the work of self-reflection and t’shuvah, of preparation for repentance and renewal. Elul has the power to be the most meaningful of times on the Jewish calendar, as we look inward, and take the opportunity to remodel ourselves.

As I write, we are nearing the end of the month of Av, which recalls one of the saddest days of the Jewish calendar: Tish’ah B’Av. Since its observance, we have moved from the theme of rebuke to the message of comfort, primarily conveyed through the seven haftaroth that are read in the seven-week period leading up to Rosh HaShanah. In the midst of this time,

we will also enter into the month of Elul during which our tradition implores us to begin the work of self-reflection and t’shuvah, of preparation for repentance and renewal.

Elul has the power to be the most meaningful of times on the Jewish calendar, as we look inward, and take the opportunity to remodel ourselves. During Elul, we scrub our souls clean, and we

ready the offerings of our hearts. It is a beautiful time. And, it serves as a reminder that, according to Jewish tradition, it is never too late to turn and return. In anticipation of this month and the High Holiday season, I share with you the following poem by Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis:

The last word has not been spoken The last sentence has not been written, The final verdict is not in. It is never too late To change my mind, My direction, To say no to the past And yes to the future, To offer remorse, To ask and give forgiveness. It is never too late To start over again, To feel again To love again To hope again…

Wishing you a meaningful month of Elul.

Selichot Services Saturday evening, September 21st at 7:45 pm

You’re invited to join old friends and meet new ones at an intimate home-dinner

beforehand at 6:00 pm for $10 per person.

The host will make the main dish and you are asked to bring a side dish to share.

Desserts will be served after the Selichot Services at Shir Tikvah.

(Desserts are free and open to all)

For all practical purposes, summer is

over. Schools are back in session, it

gets dark earlier in the evening and

the mornings are cooler. With summer

ending, activity is high at Shir Tikvah.

Our Birthday Party was a big success.

Thank you to all of our committee

members who worked so hard to make

our first birthday a memorable event.

Also, a big thank you to all of our

angels for their support and to all of

our congregants who donated auction

items and to all who bid.

We are very excited about the launch

of our Shir Tikvah religious school.

Many of our congregants and Rabbi

Harari have been working hard

planning and developing a curriculum

that will be both innovative and

interesting for our children. We look

forward to a successful first year and

will be sharing many of our activities

and plans with you as the year

progresses.

With September comes the High

Holidays, this year at the end of

September and the beginning of

October. Plans are almost complete for

both Conservative and Reform

services. Rabbi Harari will conduct the

Reform services and Justin Callis is

back to conduct our choir. Rabbi

Podwol and Dalia Podwol will lead the

Conservative services. This year on the

second day of Rosh Hashanah, we are

pleased to welcome Rabbi Zukrow and

congregants from Temple Beth-El in

Munster.

If you have not already, please be sure

to send your pledge and initial dues

payment for the temple year. High

Holiday tickets will not be issued until

we have received your commitment.

Security for all of our congregants,

staff and guests is our highest priority.

Once again we will have security

personnel at both doors throughout

the holidays. ALL PERSONS ENTERING

THE BUILDING MUST HAVE A TICKET

FOR THE HIGH HOLIDAYS. With the

ongoing escalation of violence in our

country, we are sure that you can

understand the extra security

precautions. We greatly appreciate

your support in this matter in order to

manage who is entering the temple.

As you can imagine, temple presidents

receive numerous letters and emails of

advice, counsel and comment. We

recently came across the following

prayer which we share with you.

A Prayer for Kehilla Presidents

Adonai, please grant our

synagogue presidents clear vision

to see the hidden challenges that

lie ahead, both far ahead and

those that lie hidden in front of

their noses, but no one seems to

notice. Grant our presidents

excellent hearing to hear your

guidance whether it comes from

the heavens, a burning bush, or

from the mouths of board

members they disagree with.

Adonai, please grant our

presidents patience. While they

want to get things done quickly

and we admire their drive, help

them understand that they need

to get the rest of the board and

congregation to be on board. And

please show board members and

congregants that they must help

the president, because he or she

cannot do it all. Finding money, as

always, remains a challenge for

presidents, so help them find all

the untapped assets that their

kehilla possesses.

Adonai, please grant our

presidents the strength to do

what must be done for the good

of the kehilla, even if it is

unpopular. And give them the

stamina to endure the numerous

meetings and telephone calls

that go with the job.

And finally, Adonai, your name is

eternal, but that doesn’t mean

board meetings should be.

Please help our presidents keep

meetings collaborative,

productive and short.

We, your temple presidents, are

fortunate to have a caring and

dedicated board, a wonderful partner

in Rabbi Harari and a supportive

congregation.

We wish you a Happy and Healthy

New Year.

Sherry and Ron

Ruth and Sherman
