SHUL DECORUM REMINDER
At YIEB we encourage talking to
everyone:
HASHEM during Davening.
FRIENDS during Kiddush.
______________________________________
RABBI’s CORNER / SHOFTIM 5773
Dear YIEB Families,
This week we embarked upon the month of Elul.
This time of year, leading up to Rosh Hashana and
Yom Kippur, is an opportunity to focus on Tefilla as
a core vehicle in which we maintain our
relationship with Hashem which is ideally
expressed through davening in a shul. Therefore, in
anticipation of the High Holidays, I’d like to make
the following suggestions to help us prepare for
the Yamim Noraim:
1. Increase participation. Consider coming
to shul more often over the next month.
Whether it be during the week, Friday
night or Shabbat afternoon, the more
we attend shul, the more we’ll connect
to Hashem through Tefilla. Additionally,
when we come on Shabbat morning,
let’s show up on time. (FYI- we begin at
9:00 AM.)
2. Increase understanding. The only way
Tefilla can be more meaningful is if we
understand what we are saying and why
we’re saying it. Now’s the time to learn
about the various prayers we say both
on a daily/weekly basis and in
preparation for Rosh Hashana and Yom
Kippur. There are many books, websites
and other resources that can help us get
a deeper understanding of our Siddur
and Machzor. If I can be helpful in
providing more resources, please feel
free to be in touch. As we approach
Rosh Hashana, I will be teaching about
the Machzor during the Shabbat
afternoon class.
3. Increase decorum. When we come to
shul and walk into the sanctuary, we
have to realize that we are there for a
meaningful purpose. (Of course, there’s
always ample time to socialize during
the Kiddush.) In order to stay true to our
mission for ourselves and for those
around us, we have to leave all external
distractions and conversations outside
the sanctuary.
Together, I hope we can accept upon
ourselves the spiritual opportunities that the
month of Elul has to offer us, in particular to
take full advantage of the Tefilla experience.
If we put forth the effort, then we can elevate
ourselves and go into the High Holidays ready
to maximize our relationship with Hashem.
Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Jay Weinstein
