4From Rabbi Holtz’s Study
It is always so hard to believe. Another year has passed. The cycle of life spins seemingly ever faster. Things we have done, promises made, tasks left unfulfilled, all these tend to blur together in the whirl of days running into years. For a rare few, 5775 was a year filled only with satisfactions, achievements, simchas. For most of us, it was, as always, a mixed year, made up of a balance of joys and sorrows. If we are exceedingly fortunate, the worst we can say about the year passed is that we are now a year older. But there will also be the empty seats in synagogue this year, the places of those whose cycle has ended.
Each Rosh Hashanah we actually refer to next year’s empty seats when we recite the Unetaneh Tokef: “On Rosh Hashanah it is written, on Yom Kippur it is sealed: who shall live and who shall die, who by sword and who by illness…”
For some, this prayer is the most powerful moment of the day. For others, it is a complete turn-off, implying a type of divine predestination which we simply no longer believe. For those of us who struggle with the prayer’s meaning, Rabbi Harold Kushner has offered a different way to think about it. Rather than a statement of inevitability, he has called the Unetaneh Tokef “a collective articulation of our fears about what the New Year might bring.”
Each year we examine the past, and then we look forward, eager to turn to a clean page in the story of our life. Eager, but perhaps also fearful of what the New Year might bring. We are concerned about loved ones who are ill, about our jobs, about our kids. As we sit in synagogue thinking eternal truths, the things we work for, even base our lives on suddenly seem fragile, vulnerable, much like the sukkah we will build right after Yom Kippur ends.
How do we handle this uncomfortable state of vulnerability? One answer is Judaism. Our faith comes to teach us, as Kushner notes, that while the future may involve change, or upheaval, or even bitter sorrow, we have “the personal and communal resources to cope with whatever the future has in store. Judaism’s promise is not that it can keep us safe, but that it can make us strong, strong enough to overcome whatever the New Year may bring.” And it promises that we do not have to face that future alone, for we are part of a community, and because we share the wisdom of a hundred generations.
The Unetaneh Tokef ends with the phrase, “Repentance, prayer, and charity temper judg-ment’s severe decree.” We cannot avoid the future, but we can lessen the impact of hurtful events. Repentance can make us feel better about ourselves, prayer can permit us to share our grief and so make the bitterness hurt less, and charity can help us to share the pain of
Dear Friends,

Notes from Cantor Margot E.B. Goldberg
Shalom! It is probably no surprise that I love music. In particular I love music with words. I love the ability that talented, creative people have to not only create a text that tells a story in a powerful way but then also to create music that enhances that
story and brings about an emotional response. As I prepare for the High Holydays I am once again moved by the power of the texts in our machzor (High Holyday prayer book) and by the music that has been created to emphasize its meaning. The themes of the coming season: Teshuva (repentance), Tefillah (prayer/worship), and Tzedakah (charity) are already powerful but with the added drama of the music we are hope-fully moved to examine our lives and prepare for the year to come.
As part of my preparation for the High Holyday season I have spent much of the summer working with volunteers who will be chanting Torah and Haftarah during the High Holydays. It has been wonderful to study with these individuals, to get to know them better, and to share my love for this ancient art with them. During one of these study sessions one of my newest students compared the art of cantillation (chanting the Bible) to the music of Carrie Underwood. I smiled, giggled, expressed my shared love for Ms. Underwood, and explained why I thought this was a great comparison.
It all has to do with putting the accent on the right syllable (if you have a family member who has studied trope with me ask them how to say syl-la-ble). When we speak English we accent most words on the first syllable and when we read Hebrew the accent is primarily on the last syllable of each word. When Carrie Underwood sings she clearly uses the accents of each word to help establish the rhythm and tone of the song. When I chant Torah, Haftarah, or use traditional nusach (melodies) for prayer the emphasis is first on the words and then on how the music enhances them. When you read the Hebrew words correctly, you have already established the rhythm of the text and then adding the melody creates a story similar to those of any musical artist.
Each year, as I prepare for the High Holydays I return to an aria that I learned many years ago. The aria, “Steal me, Sweet Thief” (“The Old Maid and the Thief”) is beautiful, passionate, pleading, but mostly for me nostalgic. Mostly music is about nostalgia. It is about the first time you heard a particular song, who you were with, what mood you were in, and how it made you feel. My iPod is filled with all of these pieces of nostalgia. Music that I loved in High School, College, graduate school, and everything from Carrie Underwood to Broadway musicals to Jewish standards and new settings. Each song brings back a memory and often lead to the purchase of an album which opened up my musical taste buds to even more beautiful music.
As we prepare for the High Holydays we each become nostalgic: for a particular food, smell, text, musical setting, loved one lost, or a feeling. As you make your preparations I hope that you will find connections to the texts and music that you will read, hear, and sing and that the atmosphere at TBA will move you to do Teshuva - return to God, Tefillah - connection to God, and Tzedakah - a call to action to make a difference in the world.

From the Director of Education 4Rabbi Allison Berlinger
Over the course of last year... in working with our TBA Innovation Team, we explored the narrative of our school. After a lot of discussion we came to understand that in our school we have three major milestones
for our students. The first milestone and perhaps the most obvious, is Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the second is Confirmation, and the third is Graduation. Each of these milestones has steps needed to help our students reach each milestone and be inspired to continue on to the next part of the narrative. As a result, we have made some great additions and changes to our already strong program.
To help our students reach the first milestone, students in the 4th-7th grades will continue to learn Hebrew in order to read and chant their prayers. However, they will also be asked to teach about the meaning of these prayers during weekday tefillah. We will add a prayer comprehension component to our program. Our goal is to begin to cultivate the prayer leader in each of our students and to help them hone the skills of personalizing and understanding the formal and spiritual connections to prayer.
In Confirmation class, students grapple with the issues related to religion, God, community, responsibility, etc. Our goal is to help our students frame their ques-tions and understand what they are questioning and challenging.
During 11th & 12th grades our students embark on a Service Learning curriculum in which students immerse themselves in meaningful service to a community agency or organization while simultaneously gaining new skills, knowledge, and understanding as an integrated aspect of an academic program.
An essential component of Service Learning is student reflection. Throughout the service learning project, students have opportunities to think about, talk about, and openly reflect on their experience. As students make sense of their learning, they internalize new ideas with deep understanding that often does not occur without shepherding. Reflective thought enhances the transfer of learning from a service experience to future situations. When students reflect upon their learning throughout the service learning project, they become more engaged in the deliberate kinds of thoughtfulness that lead to deeper understanding and relevant transfer. Thus the students develop tools and skills to use the service learning project to propel them forward to the next level of experience and learning.
For an experience to be educational, Dewey believed that certain parameters had to be met, “the most important of which is that the experience has continuity and interaction” (John Dewey, Experience & Education). To meet this parameter, it is essential that students reflect upon their experience. Continuity is the idea that the experience comes from and leads to other experiences, in essence propelling the person to learn more. Interaction is when the experience meets the internal needs or goals of a person.
Together with the Board of Education and our Innovation Team, I am looking forward to a very successful year in our Religious School!

Book Club: Friday, September 11 at 10:00am My Father’s Paradise: A Son’s Search for his Jewis Past in Kurdish Iraq by Ariel Sabar For his first 31 years Sabar considered his father, Yona, an embarrass-ing anachronism. “Ours was a clash of civilizations, writ small. He was ancient Kurdistan. I was 1980s L.A.” Yona was a UCLA professor whose passion was his native language, Aramaic. Ariel was an aspir-ing rock-and-roll drummer. The birth of Sabar’s own son in 2002 was a turning point, prompting Sabar to try to understand his father on his own terms. Readers can only be grateful to him for unearthing the history of a family, a people, and a very different image of Iraq. Sabar vividly depicts daily life in the remote village of Zahko, where Muslims, Jews, and Christians banded together to ensure prosperity and survival, and in Israel (after the Jews’ 1951 expulsion from Iraq), where Kurdish Jews were stereotyped as backward and simple. Sa-bar’s career as an investigative reporter at the Baltimore Sun and elsewhere serves him well, particularly in his attempt to track down his father’s oldest sister, who was kidnapped as an infant. Sabar offers something rare and precious-a tale of hope and continuity that can be passed on for generations.
Women’s Circle: Friday, September 25 at 5:45pmCelebrate, study and explore Jewish Women’s issues. Each month we will be exploring the story of a woman featured in the Bible. You do not have to read or prepare anything in advance. Life experience is the only tool you’ll need. Members and Guests are welcome. Please call the Office or email [email protected] to RSVP.

On Rosh Hashanah, we learn that we have the strength to face the future with whatever it holds, and that Judaism gives us the tools with which to celebrate our joys, and confront our grief, and make richer our lives and the lives of those around us.
