H desh Summer 2023

Sivan-Tamuz-Av-Elul 5783

From Rabbi Lerner Sharing Shabbat Mornings Why do we come to shul? Why do we have a shul? What do we expect of a synagogue in the year 2023 (5783)?

These are some of the questions I like to think about as our culture and our world, and even our traditions, all evolve. Through the centuries, as Jews moved to different countries and were part of different cultures, Judaism adapted. Today, this remains true, if not more so.

A synagogue is called a beit knesset in Hebrew, literally: a house of gathering. Temple Emunah is a place where we gather as a community for many reasons. For some of us, it might be because we feel the power of a tradition that goes back thousands of years – and we are the next link in that chain.

For others, it may be a place where we reach for the Divine.

For some of us, it is a place where, as a community, we support one another in happy and sad times.

Think about our sanctuary. On one day, there is the joy of watching one’s child or one’s grandchild stand at the Torah (continued on page 12)

Emunah Cares / New Program Director

The Secrets of the Crowds

Emunah Cares

And Rav Hamnuna said: One who sees multitudes of Israel, six hundred thousand Jews, recites: Blessed are You Lord…Who knows all secrets.

(Babylonian Talmud, Berakhot 58a)

I’m very proud to be a member of Temple Emunah. In addition to having outstanding staff and a beautiful building, we have a tremendous community!

Our members are generous not only financially but also with their time. The list of ways our members help fellow congregants, our synagogue and their broader communities, locally, nationally, and internationally is almost endless. Our members volunteer in such varied ways as: • Driving a fellow member to a medical appointment, daily minyan, Shabbat and/or Yom Tov service.

• Delivering food to a family with a new baby, a family dealing with illness, or a newly bereaved family.

• Visiting an isolated congregant, either in-person, by phone or via Zoom.

• Advocating for more equitable housing access.

These are but a few of the ways our members contribute to Tikkun Olam – repairing and improving our world. To support this effort, I am writing to announce an exciting new Initiative – Emunah Cares.

The idea is simple. We are asking our fellow community members to commit to performing at least one act of Tikkun Olam in the upcoming year. Initially all you need to do is complete a simple questionnaire that identifies the various Mitzvah programs needing volunteers. This form appears on the back side of the Emunah Cares flyers in the Temple lobby.

You can also complete the form online by going to bit.ly/3IMesry.

Within three days of submitting your form I will contact your acknowledging receipt. At that time I will also forward your name to the Temple volunteer who is chairing the Mitzvah program in which you expressed interest. Within several days they will contact you to discuss volunteer opportunities.

With Emunah Cares we are not asking you to join a committee or attend numerous meetings. You can volunteer for something as simple as giving a fellow congregant a ride to shul on Shabbat. If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me: ken.bruss@gmail.com.

Ken Bruss

When we talk about a people, a nation, a mob, or a crowd, it is easy to generalize and make assumptions about the opinions of the crowd. But it would be incorrect and wrong to make those assumptions.

We all know this, but it is part of human nature to assume we know what every individual is thinking when they are part of a group.

Being part of the Temple Emunah community is an amazing adventure of revelation of the creativity and energy of each individual. Every program starts from an idea or spark that an individual committee member or chair has, and then that energy is transferred from one person to another until it initiates a series of events that make the program happen – hard work is involved with every idea.

The wonder of each individual’s thoughts, emotions, and ideas are the secrets that Rav Hamnuna is referring to, that God “knows” the secrets of every individual, and these secrets are not lost in the crowd, even in a crowd of six hundred thousand Jews. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks (z”l) writes, “Only God can enter the minds of each of us and know what we are thinking, and this is what the blessing refers to.” (Lessons in Leadership p. 185) We might be lulled into forgetting the wonder of individuals when we count the number of household unit members we have. However, the numbers do not tell any stories of the secret superpowers of every individual member of Temple Emunah. In the Torah, there is an expression, se’u et rosh or, “lift the head” (Numbers 1:2), that refers to the need to remember to focus on the infinite value of each individual.

In our everyday affairs we should remember to “lift the head” of our membership, our Board members, and our staff. Each individual is a treasure of infinite blessing and power.

People ask me every day what it is like to be president of Temple Emunah. And my response is that it is an amazing community of committed, passionate, creative individuals.

When I think about the ideas and energy of Temple Emunah, it is like looking into a beautiful, changing kaleidoscope.

Welcome New Director of Programming: Chaya Schneider Chaya Schneider is excited to transition to the non-profit sector and share her passion for Judaism following a corporate career in software. Raised in Far Rockaway, Queens, Chaya left the ultra-orthodox Jewish world after feeling stifled by the limitations women faced in the community, and as such remains an avid supporter of women’s initiatives today. She made her way back to Judaism after discovering liturgy that included the matriarchs and divine feminine as well as the opportunity for women to chant torah and be counted in a minyan. Chaya is especially proud of her two daughters, who were the first and only females in the family to chant Torah at their Bat Mitzvah services.

Chaya shares an equally strong passion for music and enjoys participating in early music groups on recorder and harpsichord, facilitating sound baths, as well as singing in several Jewish and community choirs. Having recently moved from New Jersey to the Berkshires, Chaya is delighted to move closer to Boston and explore the vast selection of arts and cultural activities in the area.

Seven Species Panels Dedication We were finally able to dedicate and celebrate the Seven Species Panels being installed in our courtyard! Designed by artist and member Ruth Super, these panels are a testament to the support of our entire community. At our dedication event on April 30, we also honored the memory of Dick Wissoker z”l and the Wissoker family’s impact on Emunah.

See pages 16-17 for more photos.

You each are the secret blessing to the enduring vibrancy and joy of Temple Emunah. Thank you for being a member of Temple Emunah and bringing your unique ideas, passion, and energy to our community!

For our annual Glatzer weekend, Scholar-in-Residence Yossi Abramowitz joined us to discuss Israel at 75: Challenges, Accomplishments, and Opportunities. Yossi led three different talks, plus he met with the teens, to inspire us and give us hope while also sharing the significant challenges and discord facing Israel.

As we look ahead to 5784, we’re excited about upcoming programs. We’ve begun planning, but we’d love to hear from you! What Adult Ed programs would you like to see in the next year?

Happy summer!

Terri Swartz Russell and Sandy Goldstein Co-chairs of Adult Education adulted@templeemunah.org.

As a welcoming community, Temple Emunah works to ensure that people of all identities can participate fully in our services, programs, and activities. Our policies and practices aim to reflect the belief that every person is created in the image of God. One challenge that we face as a Jewish community is the gendered nature of the Hebrew language. In Hebrew, it is very difficult to conjugate a simple verb without designating male or female. In recent years, it has become increasingly visible in our society that there are people who identify as neither male nor female and, for those individuals in particular, being called up for an aliyah in many communities can present a challenge. All people deserve the respect of being referred to by the names and pronouns by which they identify – how much more so when they are being honored in public in sacred space!

The Conservative Movement’s Law Committee published a paper last year detailing language that can be used to give an aliyah without reference to gender (bit.ly/42aJbFD). This language is already used in many communities throughout the country. Our rabbis, the religious committee, and our gabbaim have collaborated to make this language available to anyone who prefers it. We have redone our aliyah cards and gabbai sheets to reflect this new third option. Anyone of any gender may choose to be called up in a non-gender-specific way.

If you would like to be called up without reference to your gender, you can send us an email so that we can update your Hebrew name in our ShulCloud database. Additionally, if you are offered an aliyah in shul, the aliyah card will direct you to inform the gabbai whether you prefer to be called up as a male, female, or without reference to gender. If you have any questions, please feel free to approach our rabbis, Religious Committee members, or Keruv Committee members.

Religious School / Youth From the Director of Congregational Learning It’s been another great academic year!

Our Religious School was able to meet inperson the entire year! And we were able to return to some of our hallmark programs: Camp Ramah Retreat, Shul-Ins, and indoor Purim Carnival, just to name a few.

Brotherhood

Sisterhood It’s that time again! Time to write a bulletin article in the future tense (which doesn’t always happen), when you want to talk about “now.” I recently attended the dedication of the Seven Species Panels, a community effort commemorating Emunah 60. One panel in particular was dedicated in loving memory of Dick Wissoker z”l.

Sisterhood was proud to donate $1,800 in support of this memorial panel.

Dick was a pillar of our community in every way. The list of things he did can fill this page and more. It’s amazing how Dick and his wife Barbara, who came to Emunah in 1968, never stopped doing. I recall one of my first interactions with them, taking an active role in the celebration of Emunah 40.

On Sunday, it was pointed out that Emunah is now 64. Boy, how time flies!

Over these 24 years, I am mostly associated with two things: the Temple Emunah kitchen (all of it) and Sisterhood. This is not to say that there are no other things on this list – but it’s a list that keeps growing. In all my roles, I am driven to build community through food events (and there are MANY), programming events, Hineni requests, minyan leadership, requests from the rabbis or the Temple president, and my commitment to the Sisterhood and the O.C.-Operating Committee (my friends). I hope that all of you will think about committed volunteerism at Temple Emunah or by helping Sisterhood and/or the temple kitchen. We are all an incredible group of people offering so much to the community.

In addition to volunteerism, there is financial support of our temple and Sisterhood. Sisterhood provides many free programs, financial support to temple committees, the religious school, temple youth programs, food events and general operating expenses to the synagogue.

Three ways that you can financially help Sisterhood are: • Participating in the Rosh Hashanah Honey campaign which Cindy Bobrow will be organizing by the time you read this bulletin. Many thanks to those who have participated in the past, and I hope that others will partake after seeing this message.

• Sponsoring Bimah Flowers: Sheila Kojm (bimahflowers@ gmail.com) can help assist you with your sponsorship.

Sponsorship can be done in many ways; in memory of a loved one, an anniversary, birthday, event, or just to say thanks in many other ways.

• Finally, by adding your name to Sisterhood membership ($36.00) on your due’s commitment forms.

Sisterhood’s Operating Committee will continue to work during the summer to come up with a 2023/24 calendar of events and will continue to add additional programs throughout the year.

Yahrzeits

Rabbi Message (continued from page 1) for the first time, and the next day, we sit in the same space for a funeral. And then we are back for minyan supporting the mourners as they recite the Kaddish – followed by throwing candy at a hardhat-wearing couple before their wedding.

What do all these moments have in common? We are feeling something. Something powerful.

Shul is about experiencing something with other people – people with whom we are in relationship, people with whom we share a common tradition, a common bond, and a common vision and destiny.

Shul is also about making meaning; as human beings, we yearn to explore the deeper questions of our existence. We find purpose and value in our liturgy and the Torah we read and study in shul.

Each prayer service has its own rhythm and tone. Daily minyanim require each person to be present and ensure that we can recite the Kaddish. Friday night is filled with song, joyous clapping, and dancing as we let go of the week, embracing the sacred gift of 25 hours of peaceful time. Shabbat Minh.ah and Ma’ariv have a beautiful spiritual mix of traditional prayer, Torah reading, small group study, singing, and Havdalah – lots of feeling.

Shabbat morning, the centerpiece of the entire week, is an incredibly moving experience, but is also complex. As a traditional egalitarian synagogue, we have a prayer service that is mostly in Hebrew, containing liturgy and texts that go back millennia. I happen to love traditional davening (prayer), but for some, it is not readily accessible. For others, the structure of the service does not allow them to make the prayers as relevant as they could be – rendering the experience harder to access.

Shabbat morning can be filled with moments of feeling shared with others. In our tradition, this feeling is called kavanah – or intention. We set an intention. We invite that experience to truly touch us. How do we find personal kavanah in a shared experience? How do we remain true to our tradition while welcoming innovation that fits our today’s context?

In God in Search of Man, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel explains that performing a mitzvah or reciting a prayer without kavanah does not work. Sometimes, while we might recite the words, the prayer can be left unaffected. Our services should transform our souls. Our service should leave us affected.

But creating the space for this experience is not so simple.

Many of us who come on Shabbat morning, myself included, like the repetition of the same prayers, the regular rhythm and structure of the experience, and even the same melodies.

However, others are searching for something different.

And everyone hopes for the most kavanah-filled, emotionally rich experience.

12

How do we satisfy both groups?

We invite everyone to move out of their comfort zone to experience a new and different worship experience. To do this, on a few Shabbatot, we hope to experiment with some changes in our Shabbat morning service.

Some innovations may include introducing different ways to understand and experience the tefillot, trying new melodies, utilizing niggunim (melodies without words), and incorporating more music into our prayers. Weaving more interactive teachings into our Torah and haftarah reading can help us feel the depth and drama of our ancient texts, while bringing us together. My father, Rabbi Stephen Lerner, z”l, was a pioneer of this approach.

In addition, we will include moments for reflection and spaces to change or vary some of our prayers. We will continue to share moments of happiness and healing during the Torah service.

The goal is to have a service where our davening will be even more filled with ruah. – soulful energy that will move us – a service in which we can find new ways to connect with our tradition.

We will try different approaches and see whether or not making some changes enriches the shul experience. We will let you know in advance when we are planning for these Shabbatot.

I hope that no one will hesitate to come – even though you might feel this may not be “in your comfort zone.”

And for those who do not attend Shabbat morning regularly, please give this Shabbat a try.

Come with an open heart, and let me know what worked for you and what might not have. I welcome your feedback. I want to thank those who are helping to envision this experience.

Our first of these Shabbatot will be on June 3. We will also celebrate Pride Shabbat that morning as we support our LGBTQ+ members and their families, friends, and allies during this difficult time.

I look forward to feeling something – deeply – together.

May we all have a summer of blessings.

Rabbi David Lerner P.S. Please join us throughout the summer for wonderful learning with our lay leaders running services and offering divrei Torah (sermons, words of Torah, and sharing) and a big Yasher Koah. to Terri Swartz Russell for organizing these Summer Shabbatot.
