An invitation to those looking for a worship home for the High Holy Days

To encourage unaffiliated individuals and families in the Rochester community to explore all TBK has to offer, we are inviting those individuals and families to attend the High Holy Days as guests of the Temple.

To help further this effort – initiated to attract new congregants – current congregants are encouraged to ask unaffiliated family and friends to join us for the High Holy Days.This initiative is part of an effort to build the Temple’s community and also highlights the Give to Your Heart’s Content campaign, a new way congregants make their financial pledge and commitment to the Temple.

The Temple has seen an increase in new, first-time memberships, “which reaffirms the idea that TBK’s new approach appeals to those looking for a new spiritual home,” says campaign chair Sue Lococo, herself a life-long TBK congregant. “Our hope is that the guest initiative will help to grow our TBK community.” This year to-date, 25 new individual or family members have joined our congregation.

Current congregants who wish to invite guests to our services should call or email Terri Richardson at 244-7060 x 229 or at info@tbk.org Please be prepared to give us your guests’ names, addresses, phone number and e-mails. Registration in the Temple’s guest program must take place prior to the Holidays.

May the New Year bring us closer to one another

May the New Year open to us the Gates of Prayer

May the New Year bring us Healing and Health

May our hearts and souls be touched by the New Year

And may we find the strength to hope - to live

Our very best wishes for a sweet New Year 5780 - from home to home

Temple B’rith Kodesh is a place where anyone can find some way to connect to their ideal Judaism. It is a place that can bring out the best in us and push us to grow. We are lucky here. There are groups for everyone and pathways in for anyone looking. Our tradition teaches that Abraham’s tent was open on all sides so that he could welcome anyone in from whatever direction they approached. Like Abraham’s tent, Temple B’rith Kodesh has doors in every direction as well - both literally and metaphor-ically. And while you can’t always enter our physical building from any direction, there is always a way into our tent. Whether you enjoy study, prayer, or hands-on engagement, you can find a “door” at TBK. As the new year gets underway, I encourage you to find your doorways to engagement. I am confident that there are things you do in your “regular” life that are well-aligned with our Jewish values.

Are you passionate about social justice work? Are you engaged in work to help make the world a better place or people’s lives easier? We do that here! Join our Social Action Committee - if we aren’t directly engaged in your passion area, maybe we should be! Tell us about it!

Did you grow up at Jewish camp and miss the feeling of a camp Shabbat? Did you enjoy your Bat/Bar Mitzvah so much, you wish you could chant Torah or give a sermon again? I’d be happy to share the bima with you! Come pray with us on Friday

nights or Saturday mornings! Join our Religious Practices Com-mittee or just stop by my office to talk about services.

Do you like talking to people and brightening their days? Want to help spread the love and sense of community to our more vulnerable members? Join our Caring Community Committee to help us reach out to members unable to physically enter our “tent”.

Does your family love hanging out with other families? Our School and Youth Committee has a ton of opportunities for social and meaningful engagement - with each other and the greater Temple community.

These are just a few of our “doors” in. We also have a thriv-ing Sisterhood/WRJ community, our Congregatings and Kollel Adult Education programming are robust and engaging, and our Youth Group opportunities are constantly growing! If you have an interest in life, chances are it’s happening here. If not, I’d love to talk with you to see if we can make it. TBK Rollerderby anyone?!

Get involved; get more involved; join us. Let’s continue to make Temple B’rith Kodesh a place where anyone, where everyone feels they belong.

Preparing for the New Year in Mind, Body and Spirit with Rabbi Stein

Wednesdays September 11, 18, and 25th: 10:00 am – 11:00 am OR (choose one) 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Join Rabbi Stein and guest presenters to study text (Sep-tember 11), meditate (September 18), and learn music (September 25), in preparation for the High Holy Days. Come to one or more of the sessions.

The morning sessions will be repeated in the evening.

No fee; however, please register with Lisa Buchholz at lbuchholz@tbk.org or 244-7060.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall . . .

Just about the time you are reading these words, we will be entering the month of Elul, the traditional period recommended for reflection and introspection leading up to Rosh Hashnah and the Days of Awe.

In these trying times, such reflection can and should be both self-directed (am I being the best “me” I can be?) and externally facing. (Am I doing all that I can to repair this world?)

It is unquestionable that each of us, alone, can only do so much to make our world better. But in community with others, our ability to change the world can verge on the limitless.

The ability to work effectively in community requires the ability to effectively take stock of one’s self, to understand one’s own passions as well as one’s limitations. To know how much energy is available to direct outward, and how much of one’s resources are necessary to “keep the home fires burning”.

I’ve found that one of the biggest benefits I get from Shabbat is to take time weekly to consider these competing concepts, and to work to balance and re-balance them as circumstances change.

During Elul, it’s almost like a whole month’s worth of opportunities for such consideration are afforded each of us, to allow us to be ready to fully and joyously embrace the New Year, full of hope and a renewed sense of both purpose and of the “capital” - both spiritual and material – at our command.

Here is hoping that Elul brings you ample opportunity to look in the mirror. Not to self-criticize, but to prepare.

Laura and I and our family hope that the New Year brings each of you a 5780 filled with sweetness and prosperity, health and happi-ness. And a mirror that always smiles back.

See you in Temple!

The Chamber of Secret Gifts by Ayala Emmett

In a time of so many pressing needs we, individually and as a congregation, do our best to respond to poverty and refugees/immigrants, which have been a focus for action at TBK.

We are about to celebrate TEMPRO’s 50th year of working tirelessly to make a historic difference in the lives of homeless families. We continue to partner with NOLB to integrate immigrants in the Rochester community. We have responded to needs of the moment; we worked with RAC NY successfully to have a legal im-pact on inclusion of all those who live in the state to have drivers’ licenses. In doing so we also fulfilled the mitzvah of Torah, “One law there shall be for you and for the stranger.”

We continue to respond to emerging needs; on the agenda now is a call from social justice leadership at our sister congregation in Albuquerque, NM.

Congregation Albert is a Reform con-gregation that has a corps of volunteers who are offering physical support on the border for each week as they prepare for Shabbat. With Rabbi Stein’s support we are launching a gift-cards appeal here at TBK. This will be our first drive in an official TBK Tzedakah Box, modeled after the ancient custom of The Chamber of Secret Gifts in the Second Temple.

The chamber was a special room where people used to leave gifts in secret and the poor would enter a door secretly and take what they needed. After the destruction of the Second Temple, The Chamber of Secret Gifts was established in synagogues and later became the model of our famous Tzedakah boxes that moved into the home as well.

Music Notes Keri Lopatin Berger, Cantorial Soloist & Director of Music

High Holy Day Music As we get ready for this special time of year a few reminders:

• Most of our High Holy Day services now start with the choir singing a niggun or little melody. This melody is the signal that the service is beginning. As you hear the repetitive melody, please feel free to start singing along to help us create a sense of warmth as part of our congregation and holy community.

• Many of the melodies are very different than we are used to hearing at our weekly Shabbat services. The traditional chants and melodic patterns that we hear in our liturgy are called nusach. The term nusach literally means “version.” It is also amusical term, reflecting the modality of music that is specific to a particular place in the service, time of day, day of the week, or in this case a specific holiday of the year. The nusach melody is there to be another reminder to us both musically and spiritually that the holiday has indeed arrived. At TBK, we use the nusach for several prayers in our High Holiday services: Chatzi Kaddish, Barchu, and Mi Chamocha are a few examples of places where the holiday nusach is heard. • Our TBK High Holy Day Choir will be spending many hours rehearsing for the inspirational melodies that you will soon hear. Our accompanist, Anna Maimine, has been hard at work with Jason Berger and the choir to prepare. Our deep appreciate goes to Jason and Anna and the entire choir for their meaningful work at this season.

It is my hope that this deeply beautiful music we hear this time of year can help the holidays be more meaningful for you and your family and our entire congregation. I wish all of you a sweet and healthy 5780.

Chamber (continued from page 12)

The communal Tzedakah Box at TBK will be a place to leave gift cards, serving to respond to various emerging needs and starting with Congregation Albert. Since we have yet to establish a formal Tzedakah Box, Rabbi Stein has offered his study as a space to leave gift cards.

Congregation Albert would like gifts from Walmart, Walgreens, and Target. Walmart and Target gift cards are used to purchase items, such as sneakers, clothing, and food/snack items. Walgreens gift cards are used to purchase needed medication and medical supplies.

Thank you for any and all the Mitzvot that you do for Tikkun Olam.

Shanah Tovah, wishing you a year filled with blessings
