September is always an exciting month. It marks the end of summer (and hopefully summer heat). It marks the start of the new school year as we welcome fresh faces on to our campus; And, of course the start of our programming year and the Jewish New Year. In very quick fashion we go from the slow days of August to Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah.

September is the perfect time of the year to reflect and renew. Rosh Hashanah is the first day of the Jewish calendar, the start of the High Holy Days, the 10 Days of Repentance when we have the opportunity to atone, seek forgiveness, and make amends for past wrongdoings. Before we are judged (by God or our friends or ourselves), we have the opportunity to change by engaging in “teshuvah, tefilah, and tzedakah, ”repentance, prayer, and righteous giving. And, by all means please direct your tzedakah to your favorite Temple).

Sukkot is similarly about renewal – rejoicing over our harvest and the new foods provided to us for the year. And, Simchat Torah is quite literally a renewal; we conclude one year’s reading of the Torah and are given the opportunity to start over, to renew the cycle and hopefully discover something new; to dive deeper and understand more fully.

What a wonderful opportunity we are given every year to reflect and renew; to seek forgiveness - and actually receive it - and to create a better version of ourselves; a personal renewal, a rebirth of everything that makes you, you.

Science seems to suggest we are all constantly renewing. The Higgs boson, or “God particle,” which is considered a building block of the universe, lasts only a millionth of a millionth of a millionth of a millionth of a second—taking tiny fast loops into and out of existence—so that the universe is continuously being reborn. Similarly, our bodies are constantly renewing. Hair falls out and is regrown. We donate blood knowing our body will create more. The cells that make up our body are constantly in a state of death and rebirth. As described by the author Taylor Plimpton, “Life is in a near constant state of refreshing itself, and in so doing, suggesting that we can do the same. Yes, we are offered beginning after beginning, the moment at hand forever a truly clean slate to do with as we please.”

So, as we fall in to September and a new year, think about the past year and how you want to start over. It doesn’t take much to recenter and refocus yourself. Sometimes, it can be as simple as taking a deep breath, soaking in a hot bath, getting a haircut, putting on a new shirt or giving an old pair of shoes a fresh shine. Do something that allows you to take a moment and renew.

What can you do to renew and recharge? How can we as a Temple renew and recharge. My email is dfriedman@fflegal.com and I want to hear from you.

FROM RABBI LITWAK’S STUDY . . .

NO ONE IS POOR EXCEPT HE WHO LACKS KNOWLEDGE. A PERSON WHO HAS KNOWLEDGE HAS EVERYTHING. - TALMUD Historically, Jews have always valued education. In the Torah and in our daily liturgy, we read the words of the V’Ahavatah, “Set these words which I command you this day upon your heart. Teach them faithfully to your children; speak of them in your home and on your way, when you lie down and when you rise up.” In Talmudic times, we saw the value of education as scholars were elevated above kings. Later, in the 8th-10th centuries, it was the geonim, the heads of the yeshivot, who were the leaders of the community. Even in the poorest shtetls of Europe, it was the learned who were revered.

However, during the Enlightenment and, again, when we reached America, we sought to shed our “old world” ways. We fought to have our children succeed in the new country, to go to the best schools, and receive the best education. In doing so, we dropped our own rich culture of knowledge. We maintained a respect for learning, but not Jewish learning.

Now, we are the most successful ethnic group in America, and yet we cannot explain what makes us unique. If we hearken back to the Talmud’s message, we may be economically well-off because of our secular education, but we are spiritually poor because we lack Jewish knowledge.

Many of you have heard me say throughout the years that, if I could guarantee every Jewish adult would devote two years to serious Jewish study, I would abolish the Religious School experience. Not because we do a poor job (in fact, I am excited for what Rabbi David has planned for our JPal program this year!); rather, because the richness and depth of Judaism can only truly be appreciated with maturity.

We are blessed to be a community that offers so many opportunities for adults to enrich their Jewish knowledge. As we begin the new year, here are three options of varying times and commitment levels. The key is to start . . .

-Rabbi Alan Litwak

THE SACRED PARTNERSHIP OF PHILANTHROPY

The Talmud teaches us “Tzedakah is equal to all the other commandments combined.” (Bava Bathra 9b). While the concept of tzedakah includes helping those in need, it also embodies the sacred partnership with you, our congregants, of charitable giving.

When you step foot on Temple Sinai’s campus its natural setting is only made more beautiful by the way in which we nurture the Jewish soul. In other words, this is a unique and special place where we naturally nurture! The generosity of our partners and friends supports our temple services, educational initiatives, grounds and infrastructure as well as our holiday, cultural and social action programs.

Temple Sinai thanks you for your kindness.

B’Shalom, Carol Moss & Lenny Feldman Co-Chairs, Philanthropic Giving & Events

We have begun our Annual Campaign and thank our congregants below for their contributions since July 1st.

Thank you !

Join Temple Sinai's Adult Choir!

Temple Sinai's Adult Choir, following a very successful season, is recruiting new members to join them in a wonderful, musically vibrant experience. If you love singing, this is your opportunity to join an activity that will give you not only the naches (pleasure) to sing but also the opportunity to share a great time with other music lovers. Under the leadership of Cantor Norman Cohen Falah and the direction of Juvenal Correa-Salas, rehearsals take place every Wednesday from 7:009:00 PM in the Feinbloom Sanctuary. Music reading is not a requirement, nor is Hebrew knowledge, only the ability to carry a tune, the love of Jewish music and the joy of singing with an enthusiastic, dedicated group of adults. We welcome all interested singers. For more information, call Cantor Norman at 305-932-9010 or e-mail: cantor.norman@tsnd.org.Â
