MESSAGE FROM RABBI BORODIN

A Yom Kippur Challenge

Judaism is based on a few foundational principles. One of

these is that there is a difference between right and wrong,

and we as humans can learn and discern between them. A

second principle is that, as human beings, we are both

imperfect and we can improve and make some correction for

past errors. And a third is about the importance of regularly

examining our character and admitting our wrongs as part

of a program of self-improvement.

This self-reflection exercise is intended to be daily with a

more in depth examination connected to the high holidays,

and Yom Kippur in particular. To help with this process,

over the centuries we have created liturgy to help us with

this task. However, it was never intended to be a substitute

for true self-examination and confession but as a source of

motivation and operationalizing. This liturgy took the place

of placing our sins on the goat we sent off to the wilderness

during the time of the sacrifices. Now, we offer our words

instead, attributing to them the same power through

appreciating the power of words to create and destroy.

One of the forms this takes is the vidui prayer which begins

with the words al chet sh’chatanu, for the sins we have

committed that we recite ten times over the course of Yom

Kippur. The oldest version we have of the al chet prayer is

from the 9th century and was comprised of 6 sins we

confessed (and in some Sefardic traditions, they still use this

same original list of six). In different communities the al

chet prayer expanded to 12 sins in the 9th century with Rav

Amram Gaon, then 22 with Maimonides in the 12th century,

to 36 sins in the Machzor Vitry (only slightly later than

Maimonides), to our 44 line version found in our machzorim

today. Its current form is an acrostic, hoping to suggest the

extensive breadth in which we have sinned and erred, both

through omission and commission. This formula is intended

to inspire us and assist us on the process of self-reflection

and confession. It is not supposed to be a substitute of our

own process and directly asking for forgiveness from the

people we have hurt.

I find reciting the al chet prayer powerful - perhaps because

of the physical aspect of beating our hearts, and through our

communal singing of part of it. I appreciate being able to

hide in the group aspect, as we confess our sins in the

plural. Each year as I read the list, I also feel the list in

some ways is a cop-out - a way of getting me out of the

hard work of coming up with my own list of what I have

done wrong. And while there are some parts of the

traditional al chet prayer for which I am guilty, there are

other ways I have gone astray which are missing from the

traditional list.

So this High Holidays I have a challenge for myself and a

challenge for all of you. In addition to our traditional al

chet, I am hoping as a community we will write a

contemporary al chet together which we will have as an

addition this Yom Kippur. I encourage you to email me

privately or feel free to respond more publicly to my post on

the Beth Shalom Facebook page with your personal

confessions and I will without attribution weave the

responses I receive into a new communal al chet.

I will begin the process with some of my own confessions

of where I have been wrong or missed the mark.

I encourage you to challenge yourself to come up with

your own list and please share those that you are

comfortable sharing. Here is a start to my own personal

process (as I have many more to add to this list):

Al chet sh’hatanu lefanecha, for the sin which I have

sinned before you for assuming, jumping to

conclusions rather than listening with curiosity.


sinned before you by multi-tasking rather than giving

you the fullness of my attention that you deserve.


sinned before you for being quick to forgive myself

and slow to forgive others.

May we this Yom Kippur have the strength to truly

undergo the process of self-evaluation, confess, and be

able to improve our character.

Shanah Tovah Tikateivu - Wishing all of you and your

loved ones a happy and healthy new year

President’s Message

So, we bought a house. In less than one week – really in

five days – we went from “wouldn’t it be nice to someday

own all of the houses north of our synagogue” to “we now

are in a position to own the missing piece and thus all of

the houses”. Five days of effort that were a concrete

expression of dedication and love for a concept, really, the

concept that this religious community is worth preserving

and even growing into the future and that it is up to us,

right here, right now, to do what we can to make that so.

And sure enough, there was an outpouring of generosity

from many in the community that allowed this to happen.

How fitting it is that this whirlwind week occurred this year

of all years. That is because this year is a sustained

celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the synagogue. In

its founding, many such weeks presented themselves to

the small and spirited congregation and its leaders.

Certainly, the founders of Congregation Beth Shalom were

motivated by the dual ideals of creating a community for

themselves that would suit their needs at the time and a

community that would thrive in the future for their children

and other future members. Those hopes painted the extra

work and time that were spent in the endeavor with joy

and satisfaction, which then further sustained the venture.

That is the way it is with all such successful creations.

Faith in the future is a highly motivating and inspiring

human quality, and it is a cornerstone of the Jewish

venture. It is faith in the future which is really what the

upcoming High Holidays are about. Sure, they are about

retrospection – looking critically at our lives and examining

how we have acted and what we can do better. But, such

an exercise is really not worth doing if there is no future,

no time to carry out the actions of redemption and to see

their results, and so right there in the work of tshuvah is a

belief in the existence of a future, of our future. I find that

very comforting.

What I also find comforting is having a set of rules to guide

behavior in the realm of tshuvah. I recently experienced

an interaction with one of my patients that can serve as an

example of this. This was yesterday, as I am writing this.

I saw her first in my office two months ago for an injury,

sustained while exercising the day before our visit. She

was in a lot of pain and quite limited in movement.

I spoke with her, examined her, and made my best-

considered assessment, giving her a treatment plan

according to that diagnosis. She came back to see me one

week later with little improvement. I reviewed the history

again with her, examined her again and remained

convinced that my first assessment was indeed likely

correct. The plan was to continue to give it a bit more

time, and to follow up in a few more weeks, if she was not

further improved.

In the interim, about a week later, now three weeks after

the injury, she self-referred to one of our orthopedic

specialists who thought she might have a different

diagnosis, based upon his exam. He ordered an MRI, and

indeed, he was correct. Her new diagnosis necessitates

surgical fixing, and this was arranged. She was on my

schedule yesterday for a pre-surgical visit.

I had written her a message after the proper diagnosis was

clear, apologizing for my incorrectness and for the delay in

finding out what was really wrong. I assumed that we

would have a brief discussion of this at our visit yesterday,

shrug it off sheepishly, and move forward.

How wrong I was. In fact, she started off the visit by

telling me that she was initially considering never seeing

me again, but that she decided in the end to come see me

to let me know how she really felt. She was not really

angry about the delay – sometimes diagnosis is difficult,

she knew. She was, however, angry at me for not

listening to her, being condescending and not seeming to

care that much about the whole situation at the time. She

laid out a careful dissection of all of my missteps over a

several minute soliloquy.

It was painful to hear, just in and of itself, and also

because it conflicted harshly with my self-understanding of

my strengths as a doctor, and really as a person. I wanted

to offer a defense, I wanted to argue each point, I wanted

to disagree. But, I did not.

I sat there and really listened. It was hard, very hard, but

I did it. At the end, I said to her that I was very sorry for

missing her diagnosis at first, but more importantly for

how I acted during our visit. I told her that I was hearing

her loud and clear, and that I would think very seriously

about her comments and try hard to do better in the

future. I finished by telling her that I appreciated that it

must have been difficult for her to even have this

conversation with me, and that her efforts would not be

wasted hopefully. And, that was the end of my comments.

We sat in silence for several minutes, and then I asked her

if she wanted to go ahead with the presurgical visit. She

said that she did, and we proceeded onward.

This interaction had a big impact on me, and I am still

figuring out how it will help me be a better person in the

future. Thankfully, I have faith and hope in the future.

So may we all.

Shanah Tovah,

Michael

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for

the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge

fairly; defend the rights of the poor and ready.”

Proverbs 31:8-9

With our warm, smoky August behind us, it should start to

get cooler and more pleasant by the time the High

Holidays begin later in the month. Despite the less than

ideal early August, SAC and other CBS members

continued to be engaged in doing acts of Tikun Olam -

repairing the world.

Teen Feed occurred on July 31st and Yasher Koach to all

who were able to help prepare the meal and serve and

clean up. The next Teen Feed will be Monday, October

30th. If you are interested in volunteering with Teen Feed,

we do this in any month where there is a fifth Monday.

Contact Joan Lite Miller for more information:

[email protected].

Lake City Meals continues to provide food for those who

need help in the Lake City area on the third Thursday of

each month. If you can help prepare and serve food,

contact Leah Rapalee: [email protected].

Yasher Koach to Deirdre Gabbay and other members of the

AAA for maintaining the beautiful and bountiful CBS

Garden over the Summer!

While we’re on the subject of food, you might wonder what

happens to food that is left over from Shabbat lunches

after services. Beth Shalom members contribute to the

Kiddush Lunch fund. Having lunch after services is a great

way to connect with friends. Did you also know that the

leftovers from lunch are donated to a community meal at

St. Dunstan Church in Shoreline and four Tent Cities?

Josef Hinkofer and his volunteers coordinate a community

meal and cook for those Tent Cities. Josef who is with

Safeway in Shoreline, gleans food from Safeway. His

crew sees what they have and supplements the meal for

that day. Josef said that they “feed over 500 people. That

should not happen in America”. If you want to help out

with the community dinners their web site is: http://

sdchp.org/community/community-dinners/, and if you

want to help deliver leftovers from Beth Shalom contact

Gail Coskey.

And our last food related item for this issue! We will once

again conduct our annual High Holiday Food Drive to

support the Jewish Family Service Food Bank between

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (September 20-30). The

Big Sort at the JFS warehouse will occur October 1st. In

addition to non-perishable, non-expired food items, JFS is

also asking people to consider donating spices.

Yasher Koach to any CBS members who donated blood on

Sunday, August 13th. Look for future donation dates in

the Ruach, Shavuon, or Cybershul, and on the table in the

CBS foyer.

Many of you know that SAC members were instrumental in

encouraging CBS to join the Faith Action Network (FAN).

Carolyn Cohen would like you to know the following:

Faith Action Network (FAN) Summer/Fall Update:

The Faith Action Network of Washington, a statewide

consortium of congregations working towards the common

good, achieved some significant successes during the

recent legislative session. Victories included the passage of

state legislation on Anti-Human Trafficking; Criminal

Justice Reform; Economic Justice/Anti-Poverty;

Environmental Justice; Gun Safety; and Mental Health.

Complete details are available on FAN’s website-fanwa.org.

In early summer, Carolyn Cohen, Maria Erlitz, and Susan

Morgensztern represented Congregation Beth Shalom at a

local FAN summit, where they joined representatives from

other Seattle-area congregations in providing input that

will shape FAN’s next legislative agenda.

Here at CBS, we are preparing to develop our own action

steps for the coming legislative session. It has become

apparent that state legislation currently provides a

powerful opportunity for near-term social change. Our

state is a bright beacon in this respect. FAN is adept at

harnessing public will to affect political change, and we

look forward to remaining part of the process.

If you would like to help formulate our congregation’s

action steps, please plan to attend a get-together on

Sunday, October 15th, 11:00am at CBS. Please watch

Cybershul for additional details. Questions? Contact

Carolyn Cohen or Nancy Fisher-Allison.

We hope to see many of you there.

As we plunge into the Fall, we will continue to update you

on SAC activities.

As always we thank you for your contributions to the SAC

Fund via the daily minyanim or Tzedakah funds. Your

contributions helped fund Mary’s Place at Temple Beth Am

this Summer ($200), the July Teen Feed and the upcoming

October Teen Feed( approx... $250 each).

The next SAC meeting will be Sunday, September 10th,

10:30am-Noon at CBS. All are welcome.

If you would like more information about these or other

SAC activities or have an idea for a Social Action project

or event, contact Gail Coskey:

DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, CONTACT: JENNIFER COHEN

We proudly and loudly ask you to please make your

annual gift to our High Holidays campaign either now or on Kol Nidre, our traditional night of fundraising. Our goal is $85,000 of which $23,540 has already been

pledged through the annual support agreement.

At CBS, the topic of money and asking for financial support has long been taboo and therefore discussed

quietly behind the scenes. For the majority of the congregation’s existence, this has not been an issue. Members have been generous and stepped up as emergencies arose, such as an end of the fiscal year campaign to make sure we didn’t end up in the red.

In recent years, there has been an effort to break the taboo and be more intentional and vocal about CBS’ financial needs. While crisis fundraising can be effective, it is not a prudent long-term strategy. The reality is our

congregation has grown, our needs have expanded and

as a result our expenses have increased. This is a good thing.

This is our spiritual home and we have worked diligently

to mold it into the community it is today. We have poured our hearts and souls into this place with tireless volunteering, and yet, there are still bills to maintain our buildings and equipment, paychecks to distribute to

ensure our brilliant and hardworking staff are paid a

living wage, and investments to make to secure CBS’ future.

As a longtime fundraiser, I am well-aware that some people get annoyed and turned off by solicitations. “Every time I turnaround someone is asking for money,” I’ve heard too many times to count. If only the causes

and institutions we care about could generate enough revenue on their own so donations were not needed. Sadly, this is not the case for non-profits, including our beloved shul.

With everyone chipping in to support CBS, our financial needs will be met. The sooner we raise the funds annually to support our operating budget, the sooner we can stop asking you to contribute. The sooner we realize that everyone has a role in sustaining our shul and

therefore makes annual gifts that fulfill our budget

needs, the sooner we can forgo special campaigns to raise necessary funds.

I hope you see the direct correlation between your gift

giving and the end to repeated solicitations. The financial stability of Beth Shalom is in your hands as is the conversation about money.

Patti Kieval joined Congregation Beth Shalom when her family moved to Seattle from Boston in 1980. She has served on the Board of Directors and Social Action Committees, and, for a time, was a regular at the

Tuesday morning minyan when it was just starting up. She has also cooked and baked for holidays and simchas, pulled weeds and pruned bushes for the grounds clean-up team, and has enjoyed taking adult education classes. As a member of the Mitzvah Corps, Patti has provided

countless meals, visits, rides, and shiva minyan support to members. She has enjoyed being a regular at the

Teen Feed program for several years. Most recently she had the privilege to chair the Assistant Rabbi Search Committee. She says, “Beth Shalom is very important to me, and I am grateful to be part of such a vibrant and caring community.”

Louis Friedkin moved to Seattle in 1991 and joined CBS around the HH that same year. Not long after, Celia

Cohen taught him haftarah

trope and Teddy Rothman taught him other megillah trope. Shortly thereafter Louis joined the Beth Shalom Makhela (choir) as a baritone and accompanist and around

1998, Teddy handed him the reins as haftarah/megillah

coordinator. He still chants the occasional haftarah/megillah but primarily enjoys working behind the scenes in making sure we have someone to chant each Shabbat and holiday. Louis has served on the Board and the

Executive Director search committee and have been serving on the Finance Committee for many years. In 2003 he established the Beth Shalom brokerage account with Scottrade so that members could donate appreciated shares of stocks and mutual funds. He still

administers that account and to date, over $500,000 worth of shares have been donated by members to fund

their dues and donations! In 2013 Louis became a part time staff member, working with Emma and Carol on the synagogue finances though they run such a tight ship that he thinks the job is made easy. Most notably, Louis met his wife Carolyn and children, Garion, Aviva and Adriel at Beth Shalom. He says, “So much to be grateful for, I cannot imagine what my life would be like without

the Beth Shalom community.”

Youth Updates - Idkunim La’yeladim

EDUCATION AND YOUTH DIRECTOR, RACHEL WACHTEL

As the High Holidays approach, one of the Torah portions

that we read together is Parashat Nitzavim. In this

parasha, Moses brings together all the Israelites and a

covenant is established between God and the Jewish

people. Deuteronomy 29:13-14 states, "I make this

covenant, with its sanctions, not with you alone, but both

with those who are standing here with us this day before

the LORD our God and with those who are not with us here

this day."

Ibn Ezra teaches that "not with you alone" is not referring

to those who were absent that day, but rather, it refers to

those who shall come after. The children of the Israelites,

their children, their children's children, and so on. This

includes all the future generations of Jewish people.

Though we may not have been there physically learning

about the Mitzvot or learning to fear the curses, we are still

included in the covenant. We are still commanded to fulfill

the Mitzvot and are taught that if we abandon them we will

face the consequences. Ultimately it is up to us - we have

freedom of choice.

With the magnitude of choices youth living in the US today

face, educating these youth about the values and mitzvot in

our tradition, is an enormous responsibility. It is a

responsibility that no one person can shoulder.

At CBS we are blessed with a community of knowledgeable

and inspiring role-models willing to step up and share this

enormous responsibility. This year there are a plethora of

ways community members, those who are trained

educators and those who are not, those who work as

educators and those who don't, will share their passions.

They will teach and inspire the CBS Youth to continue the

covenant we read about in Deuteronomy.

One of the most exciting ways this happens at CBS is

through a 7th grade course on Mitzvot. Each Shabbat the

7th grade cohort has the pleasure of learning about a

different Mitzvah and they learn about it from a Beth

Shalom community member who is passionate about that

particular mitzvah. Members are passionate about

everything from comforting mourners to keeping kosher to

welcoming the stranger. Their passion is contagious and

they are the role models our youth need to keep them on a

path of choosing Mitzvot and continuing the covenant.

Thank you CBS community for being so willing to share

your passions with our youth!

FOOD & FRIENDS FOR THE BODY & SOUL

Over the last few years, over 100 people have participated in “Food and Friends for the

Body and Soul.” It has been a tremendous success and those involved provide very positive

feedback. We enjoyed the company of families and individuals in our homes and we hope

that even more of you will take part in the fourth round coming up this fall.

The program consists of five (5) monthly potluck meetings. Most groups meet for dinner,

some meet for brunch, or some choose to meet for a mix of brunch and dinner times.

Meetings are hosted in a rotating fashion at participants’ homes. Participants study a variety

of topics using texts provided by the organizers, as a foundation for conversation while

sharing a meal. Groups are formed with a goal of individuals and families getting to know

other congregants better and building bonds across neighborhoods within our CBS

community.

Reviews from previous participants include:

“...the community building aspect was the best for us. We met, ate, and conversed with people we didn’t know other than by sight for some of them and others I hadn’t even seen…”

“Very congenial, well-matched group which really wanted to get better acquainted.”

“Our group was wonderful! Great food, people, and conversation.”

“My Shabbat table conversation will be enriched by this experience. I am motivated to include more study to deepen our conversation.”

“It was interesting to discuss with other people how they live Jewishly and what diverse Jewish backgrounds they have.”

I hope that many Beth Shalom congregants will choose to participate. I know that

the experience enriched my life with wonderful conversation, fresh ideas, and new

bonds with fellow congregants. And, the food was terrific! I think you will enjoy it.

2017-18 Curriculum—Healing and Holiness

We are often taught that Judaism places a premium on preserving life

(which is true), but the Jewish tradition's take on healing, medicine,

and healthcare is actually much more complicated than that. Together,

we'll learn about how rabbis and scholars across Jewish history

thought about healing, and bound it up with theological questions,

vision of a just society, and concerns about self-differentiation. We'll also explore how their approaches can

inform our own takes on the current healthcare discussions.

Please indicate your group preferences. All groups are scheduled to meet on the same Sundays each month, and all

groups study the same materials in a given month.

A Page from Our History

In celebration of Beth Shalom’s 50th Anniversary, we are

looking at how far we’ve come, and also learning that

some things never change.

In September 1970, we dedicated our new building,

which still stands as our current Social Hall.

High Holidays were late that year, and our president,

Jerry Becker, z”l, wrote an inspirational holiday message

about rewards of volunteerism, and especially of building

a synagogue.

As Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote: “Every individual is a

pillar on which the future of Judaism rests.”

The focus of this class is on learning the building blocks of

moves with the pace of students. There is no weekly/

monthly/yearly goal. There are weekly homework

iEngage

Israel’s Milestones and Their Meanings:

The legacy of the Past

and the Challenge of the Future

A Shalom Hartman Institute

Lecture and Study Series

Led by Rabbi Borodin

Through video lectures, text study, and lively group

discussion, we are pleased to bring the

world-renowned faculty of the Shalom Hartman Institute

into the Beth Shalom community this fall.

iEngage: Israel’s Milestones and Their Meanings

explores the pivotal events of 1917, 1947, and 1967 as

key moments when Zionism unleashed new thinking

about the meaning of Jewishness for generations to

come. Memory is a central element in defining modern

Jewish identity. As we look to Israel’s future, we need to

engage anew with our past and explore its meanings

and consequences. This iEngage series grapples with

the different ideas and values that shape the meaning of

modern Israel, Zionism, and Jewish identity today.

Together we will engage in a new values-based

discourse about Israel, including topics such as:

nationhood, land, Sovereignty, Jerusalem, Occupation

and Moral Red Lines.

Each session includes text study and discussion led

by Rabbi Borodin, and video lectures and roundtable

discussions with leading Hartman scholars.

Wednesdays, 7:30-9:00pm, 11/1, 11/15, 11/29,

12/6, 1/10, 1/25, 2/7, 2/21

for non-members.

The MacBook Of Life—High Holiday Prep

with Rabbi Rose, September 16

We will study the rabbinic notion of our deeds being

recorded in the “book of life,” and explore what it

means in the internet age, when so much of our

lives are actually recorded in digital “books.” Our

discussion should help us frame how we think about

and act during the high holiday season and beyond.

Shabbat Shuva, September 23

Join Rabbi Borodin for learning and conversation

about living in imperfect relationships. Explore the

You Are What You Eat with Rabbi Rose

Using texts from the Bible through today, we’ll delve into

the values we express by the act of eating. We will explore

different components of keeping kosher and try to unpack

the reasons behind them, learn about the intersection

between our food and the world around us, and think about

how we use food to build community. Learners of all back-

grounds and dietary practices welcome!


Dates: Nov 28-Dec. 19 (4 sessions)


Introduction to the Talmud: Passages on Prayer with

welcome, but this is especially for those who are new to the

Talmud.


Dates: Jan 9-Feb 13 (6 sessions)


Rabbis on the Radio with Rabbi Rose

Most halakhic literature begins and ends with letters and

books. But two very different modern rabbis, Rabbi

Ovadiah Yosef and Rabbi Ethan Tucker, have both

disseminated answers to Jewish legal questions through

audio: a radio show and a podcast. We’ll look at a few

questions and answers by each of them, diving into the

classical texts that they use to come to their decisions.

Learners of all backgrounds welcome!


Dates: Feb 20—Mar 27 (6 sessions)

planning process to get

to know each other, to

learn some traditional

about weddings and

marriage, to explore the

blessings and challenges

of Jewish marriage in a

gender egalitarian and

LGBTQ-friendly context,

and to look past the

wedding towards creating

Jewish married lives.

Mindful Movement

Therapy Workshop

with Shanti Krigel

Sunday, Sept. 10, 2:00-4:00pm

Drawing inspiration from and breathing intention into

the Jewish high holidays, this two-hour workshop for

women is designed to help build inner strength and

resiliency. We will explore the themes of teshuvah,

forgiveness, and renewal, inviting experiences of

trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, and

addiction into the room. The session will weave in

dance movement therapy, yoga therapy, mindfulness

techniques and creativity and will serve as a safe place

to both share and process emotions, as well as

develop and strengthen body-based coping skills that

support resiliency and healing.

Averting the Severity of the Decree

with Beth Huppin

Tuesday, September 5, 9:30-10:45am

No Charge Our liturgy says that t'shuvah, t'fillah, and tzedakah can avert the severity of "the decree." What could this possibly mean in reality? Is there really "a decree?" Can the

"severity" really be averted? In preparation for the High Holidays we will examine these questions through a remarkable Hasidic text. Everyone is welcome.

Prospective and New Member Welcome Sept. 12th Meet Rabbi Borodin and Carol Benedick at 7:00pm and learn about CBS, then stay for learning at 8:00pm

T’filat Ha-Lev T’filat Ha-Lev (Prayer of the Heart) enters its third year. Led by Carl Sayres and Rabbi Rose during Kol Nidre from 6:35-9:30pm, and led by Carl Sayres and Rabbi Borodin on Yom Kippur during Musaf and Yizkor from 11:30am–2:15pm, at the University Unitarian Church—6556 35th Ave NE. Please note that this is a different location from last

year. On Yom Kippur the T’filat Ha-Lev services follow CBS Family Services and both are in the Unitarian Church. Please enter from the parking lot on the south side of the building.

This family-friendly parallel service, T’filat Ha-Lev, is filled with music and singing, designed as an intimate, highly

participatory. The setting is smaller than the regular service in the sanctuary enabling us to hear and connect with each other and sing niggunim (wordless melodies) together. Text study takes the place of formal sermons.

T’filat Ha-Lev is a halakhically complete service with certain non-halakhic parts omitted to allow us to focus on going deeper. Both services will include teaching and singing from congregants. Join us for the second year of T’filat Ha-Lev, exploring the meaning of Yom Kippur through prayer, singing, and learning!

Her book, The Forever Letter, released on September 8th, and endorsed by Parker J. Palmer, Jack Canfield, Michael Josephson, Rabbi Rachel Cowan, Rev. Susan Sparks, Rabbi Sherre Hirsch, Rabbi David Wolpe among others, is inspired by the centuries-old Jewish tradition of the ethical will, and can serve as your companion on a journey of self-discovery and deepening relationships during this High Holiday season.

HIGH HOLIDAY PRACTICES IN

THE SYNAGOGUE

The ten-day period beginning with Rosh

Hashanah and ending with Yom Kippur

is known as the Ten Days of Repentance.

Yom Kippur is known as Shabbat Shab-

batot, the Sabbath of Sabbaths, and is the

holiest day of the year. Even when Yom

Kippur does not fall on Shabbat all of the

restrictions of Shabbat apply. Additional-

ly we are prohibited from eating, drink-

ing, engaging in sexual relations, bathing,

anointing oneself (using creams, lotions,

perfumes) and wearing leather shoes. It is

customary to wear white. Some wear a

kittel (plain white linen robe) during ser-

vices. The Tallit is worn at all Yom Kip-

pur services until the end of Neilah, in-

cluding Kol Nidrei; the fast is 25 hours

long, beginning before nightfall and end-

ing after nightfall.

Piyuttim Booklet for High Holidays

The deadline for submissions was August 31. Poetry, Art, Prose = Piyuttim! We hope you have

already submitted them to Jeremy, but if you haven’t there might still be some room in the book. Check with Jeremy Alk ASAP at [email protected].

It is traditional to visit the cemetery the Sunday between

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur; called Kever Avot,

the literal translation is “graves of the fathers.”

That particular date we honor our loved ones who now sleep with their elders. At the Beit Shalom cemetery section

of Abbey View Cemetery, we will have a brief ceremony led by Sharon Greenberg, from 11:00am-Noon.

Included will be time to visit a specific gravesite or especially a grave of someone

whose relatives are many miles away. Come and join your fellow congregants.

More information on purchasing a plot contact Debra Jeffs-Grad at (206) 522-6136 or

[email protected].

Kever Avot at Beit Shalom Cemetery Sunday, September 24th

Shabbat dinner. Shabbat hospitality will be available. Children are welcomed and treasured. If you wish to help lead

services, to offer home hospitality after services, or simply to participate on a regular basis, please contact Kim

Schulze at [email protected].

Voted Best Adult Education!

Selichot Opening the Door to Forgiveness:

Let Go of The Injustices You Carry

and Move Toward Healing

with Rabbi Elana Zaiman

September 16, 2017 at 9:00pm Dessert and book signing at 10:00pm

Selichot Service with Carl Sayres begins at 10:30pm

Please join us for Havdalah and inspiration from our own Rabbi Elana Zaiman, connected to her new book being published this September, to guide us into

Selichot and prepare us for the High Holidays. Time for personal reflection with an interlude by flutist Trudy Antolin follows.

Elana’s book, The Forever Letter: Writing What We Believe for Those We Love, will be available for purchase and signing during dessert.

Elana Zaiman is the first woman rabbi from a family spanning six generations of rabbis. She serves as a chaplain in Seattle’s elder Jewish community and is a prolific writer. Elana travels throughout the US and Canada as a scholar-in-residence, speaker, and workshop facilitator. She has received rave reviews for her keynotes and workshops in synagogues, churches, interfaith-gatherings, social service agencies, geriatric residencies, law firms, women’s organizations, private salons, and elder-law and financial and estate-planning conferences.

Her book, The Forever Letter, released on September 8th, and endorsed by Parker J. Palmer, Jack Canfield, Michael Josephson, Rabbi Rachel Cowan, Rev. Susan Sparks, Rabbi Sherre Hirsch, Rabbi David Wolpe among others, is inspired by the centuries-old Jewish tradition of the ethical will, and can serve as your companion on a journey of self-discovery and deepening relationships during this High Holiday season.
