Rabbinic Reflections

bRavely GoinG into the new yeaR

by Rabbi Jonathan Freirich

Each season of Judaism offers us different opportunities to elevate our lives

As Passover approaches we get to spring clean our house and perhaps our souls in anticipation of celebrating our freedom Chanukah gives us the chance to think about how we can bring more light into the lives of our families and communities In the month of Elul most of September this year leading up to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur we get to review the past year as a way of making the next year even better

Going over the past year we may find -a catalog of celebrations that we want to remember and cherish -a litany of challenges we struggled with and overcame or with which we still strive to cope -or most likely a mix of the two including things we wish wersquod remembered more attentiveness to relationships and work and the balance between them There are probably many more

I always worry about all that I might have forgotten This year I am going to prepare for the New Year in at least two ways

I will do my best to make more time to listen to anyone who needs to talk with me From my own family and friends to our extended TBE family I want everyone to feel comfortable telling me where I may have missed the mark or stepped on toes Please give me the opportunity to make amends by letting me know when I erred and how I might improve upon the past year

My other goal is to make more time for celebration I want to enjoy those amazing moments with Ginny and our kids and to give space for savoring them I hope to celebrate those minutes and hours in all of our lives when the con-nections between us hum with the music of our laughter and singing

As the world struggles into our New Year let us open our gates to each other both for the alleviation of anything that stands between us and for the lifting up of our spirits in celebration together

Lrsquoshanah tovah ndash a good year to us all

am yisRael chai The people of Israel live

In August the new artwork created especially for Temple Beth El was installed in the Atrium The 13-paneled work spans the entire end of the room and utilizes a unique creative process that aims to push the limitations of a singular vision toward a more fluid and complex perspective A composite of Temple life the artwork began with each artist photographing various scenes rituals and commu-nity members That film was then rewound and ex-changed so that the artists could repeat this process over what the other artist has just photographed eventually creating a surprising and complexly lay-ered document that includes landscape community and congregation The film was then scanned and digitally reworked to accentuate selected formal and contextual components that had been captured Am Yisrael Chai digitally interweaves the images from the Jewish homeland with those of the Temple Beth El community visually linking the two communi-ties together as one and speaking of the connection between the Temple Beth El congregation and Eretz Yisrael Am Yisrael Chai The art was created by Lisa Levine and Peter Ton-ningsen who are a collaborative team of photogra-phers and university educators from California They are particularly interested in creating artworks that enliven public spaces involve the community in their art making process and challenge the idea that art making is a solitary endeavor We invite you to come by and view the artwork Plan to come sit a while and take it all in

Am Yisrael Chai was generously supported by a Temple Beth El Family Please consider being part of our on going art program by contributing to the Temple Beth El Art Fund

itrsquos (almost) cRoP walk time

For 35 years people from houses of faith across Charlotte have joined hands to combat hunger through the CROP Hunger Walk Since the first walk in 1978 Charlotteans have come together to raise over $6 million to relieve hunger with $16 million staying in the community Plans are still being finalized for the 36th annual CROP Walk in October but Temple Beth El has a proud tradition of participating in this interfaith walk and we donrsquot want to stop now The local beneficiary agencies are Second Harvest Food Bank Loaves amp Fishes and Crisis Assistance Ministry while the international charity Church World Service focuses on helping people in need on a global level Participating in the CROP Walk is a great way to perform an act of Tikkun Olam (repair of the world) while also representing Temple Beth El in the greater community

The 2014 Charlotte CROP Hunger Walk is scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday October 19th All individuals families and groups are invited to join the Temple Beth El team and combat hunger in Charlotte and around the world Not able to walk Please consider sponsoring an individual walker or the team as a whole Contact a team captain or click here to go to our team webpage Stay tuned for more details or contact team captains Jill Blumenthal or 704-517-6654 or Marissa Brooks or 704-909-9822 for more information
