With the

holidays just

about behind

us, it’s time to

focus on what’s

really

important.

Don’t get me

wrong: I’m not

saying that Rosh Hashanah and

Yom Kippur are unimportant

(despite my frequently expressing the wish to go away

on a 10 day cruise), but the holidays take our focus away

from the rest of the year. And it’s what we do with/

during the rest of our year that determines how hard we

will have to “work” on ourselves when the next new year

begins.

In shul, we are off to a running start just a week-and-a-

half after Simhat Torah with an Israeli Shabbat Dinner,

followed by a Musical Service at which we welcomed

our New Members on Friday, October 12 (and after

that we have 2 successive weeks of Bar Mitzvah

ceremonies!).

Beginning October 15, Dr. Eric Goldman r eturns to us

for three successive Mondays to discuss Iconic Jewish

Filmmakers.

On Friday, October 19, at 1:00 p.m., Cantor Zim begins

his class, Shir Chadash, on learning and leading the

Shabbat service.

Sisterhood Book Club resumes on Tuesday, October

23, discussing “Playing with Fire” by Tess Gerritsen.

And then I get into the act.

Schedule a one-on-one sessions with me on anything

Jewish that you want to learn or brush up on, from

learning how to read Hebrew to a sophisticated approach

toward what Judaism is all about. Call me! and we will

arrange a mutually convenient time.

The Great Synagogue Read-In begins on

Wednesday morning, October 24 at 10:00

a.m. with Chapter 1 of Letters to My

Palestinian Neighbor. We will also read and

ADULT ED PROGRAMS

discuss Chapter 1 on Thursday,

October 25 at 6:30 p.m. We will

read a chapter or two each month.

You can pick up your copy at the

Synagogue Office for the greatly

reduced price of $10.00 thanks to

the generosity of the CSI Scholar

Fund. Here’s what people are

saying about this book:

“A powerful, challenging, and deeply moving

plea across one of the most tragic divides in

modern politics.” Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

“It conveys the urgency and poetry of the Israeli

story. These letters are for anyone interested in

understanding who the Jews are and why we

returned home.” Natan Sharansky

“Much, much better than the Kol Nidre

sermon… I promise!” Rabbi Ken Stern

On Wednesday, October 24th at 2:00 p.m. On the

Road with the Rabbi resumes. We will be hosted

by Rabbi Mark Golub at the

JBS Studios, r ight here in

Fort Lee. There is a $10.00 fee and space is rather

limited. Please email or call me to reserve your spot.

And just so you know, here is the On the Road line-up

for the next several months: on Saturday night,

November 10 we’re going to Joe’s Pub in

Manhattan to hear Jamie Obstbaum Leonhart (of

B’Rosh HaShanah and other High Holidays fame). In

December we’re going to Philadelphia for a tour of

the Rube Goldberg exhibit, and in January we’re

going to hear Mitchell Shedlarz (of Shofar fame)

playing the B-flat trumpet with his jazz band in Valley

Cottage, New York.

Also on Wednesdays, beginning October 24, I will be

teaching two more-formal classes modeled along the

lines of a Parent/Grandparent Education Program

(PEP/GPEP). It will be a combination of my

agenda for you, and whatever is on your mind. The

early session is from 5:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m., and the

later session is from 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.

And finally…Talmud and Tangents returns on

Thursday morning, October 25 at 10:30 a.m. it will

be a combination of the Talmud’s conversations and

tangents, and whatever germane or extraneous topics

come up in the course of our class. The new text (or

perhaps pretext) is Chapter 2 of Brachot (Blessings).

There’s a lot going on in our Shul in addition to our

prayer services, which will always remain the

mainstay. My hope is that you will avail yourself of

what we have to offer you-spiritually, intellectually

and socially.

NO HEAT? NO LIGHTS? REMEMBER,

WE ARE YOUR SECOND HOME!

If you should experience the loss of power--and the

shul has electric service--all our members are

welcome to come to the Synagogue to warm up,

recharge cell phones and laptop computers, sit and

relax, and have a cup of coffee or tea. On most

weekdays the Synagogue is open for you from

7:00am-10:00pm

SING A NEW SONG TO GOD

begin on Friday October 19th at 1:00pm, and will

meet weekly in the Chapel. This class will be on a

one month trial basis.

Please contact Barbara or Debbie,

in our office, and let us know if

you plan to attend. I hope to see

some of you there, so that we can

truly sing a “Shir Chadash,” a new

song—together. Come and help us

build new musical bridges for the

future.

Now that we have completed

welcoming the Jewish New Year

and the “Chagim,” my heart is

filled with warm

memories of our

joining together in

powerful song. Your

melodic participation on Rosh

Hashanah and Yom Kippur with the

“Yom Tov Singers” truly enhanced the

spiritual level of our prayers.

“Shiru L’Adonai Shir

Chadash. Let us sing to God a

new song. Sing to all the earth

the very newness of our

expression praises God. Let us sing to

God as the earth reverberates with

chanting”.

-Psalms

These words were written for us thousands of years

ago by King David, while absorbed in the joy of his

divine relationship with God. His timeless words

remind us again and again, to sing to God.

What can we do to experience what King David

felt so long ago? The Chassidic Rabbis and masters

have said that the easiest way to do so is through

singing and chanting (sometimes even without

words). Chanting gives us the power to open

avenues of expression that capture our deepest

emotions. When a person gives oneself fully to

singing and chanting of holy words, one combines

heart and soul in worship that is truly sacred.

Even very old prayers and songs become like new,

when someone learns to lead services for the first

time. I am delighted to be teaching a new course on

new melodies for Friday night, and how to lead the

first part of our Shabbat morning service. We will

A NOTE OF THANKS FROM OUR CANTOR

One of the hallmarks of our synagogue has been

our warm participatory form of worship. Singing

has made our worshipping a more meaningful

service for everyone.

So many prayers from the Rosh Hashanah and

Yom Kippur liturgy are solemn and soul-stirring.

They are recited and sung (chanted) with the

utmost reverence. To add beauty to our services, I

have always enjoyed training our own to sing

solos or sing-a-long with our congregation. All

your lovely voices helped enhance our High

Holiday services.

The school year begins with shopping trips for new

clothes, school supplies as well as healthy lunches

and snacks. As soon as a new routine begins, in

comes Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and all the

fall holidays. Between home and Hebrew School,

each year brings new levels of learning and

understanding regarding the beginning of the cycle of

the Jewish year. However, once we enter the month of

Cheshvan, all is changed.

Rabbi Benjamin Blech, a professor of Talmud at

Yeshiva University and a frequent contributor to

Aish.com, feels that the 12 months of the Hebrew

calendar can provide excellent insight to the road to

personal growth. Over the next several months, we

will cite some of his articles as we grow together.

The Hebrew calendar year begins with a month

containing a host of holidays. It is followed by a

month not marked by even a single festival. There is,

according to Rabbi Blech, a profound idea in this

sequence. Cheshvan is meant to remind us that our

lives are much more than the days marked by special

celebrations. The true test of our character is the way

in which we treat the “every day” moments of our

existence. Judaism does not have a Mother’s Day or a

Father’s Day. Honoring parents and showing them

proper gratitude should not be restricted to a one-day

occurrence. Anniversaries are nice occasions on

which to offer gifts of love to one’s significant other,

but far more meaningful is to give expression to the

preciousness of a relationship on a regular and

consistent basis.

In the Talmud, the rabbis ask which verse is the single

most important one in the entire Bible. The Rabbi

who offers the last in a series of opinions- if not the

most correct response, but maybe the most correct

one- says it is the one which requires of us to offer a

sacrifice every morning and a sacrifice every evening.

It is the verse which takes all the ideals of Torah and

elevates that which is mundane to a much higher

level. The consistency of our behavior from day to

day makes those things much more important.

Cheshvan teaches us that every day can and should be

lived as if it were a holiday.
