L’shmoah Kol Shofar; to witness the sounding of the shofar is considered an important mitzvah associated with the Holy Day season. The shofar, made from a ram's horn, is a call to begin the holy day celebration and prayers. In ancient times, it was used as a way to announce the arrival of someone or something important, a call to celebration, a signal announcing the full moon, a battle call and to summon the community to prayer. Today the Shofar continues to animate the soul with its various tones; t'keyiah, truah, shevarim. The call of the shofar is so stirring, that every day of Elul (except Shabbat we give a morning blast to awaken us, heralding the coming of the new year.
No matter the age of our children, they will always look to us to model the right way to behave in the world. Be it a toddler, or high schooler, the actions that we adults take help to guide them to be lifelong “mitzvah doers.” At Rosh Hashanah especially, it is tradition to focus on spreading kindness through our actions, and resolve to continue to engage in acts of Tikkun Olam throughout the year. This is one of the ways that we embody the values of tzedakah, and teshuvah.
This year TBT will offer two tashlich opportunities: the first, a traditional tashlich ceremony to take place at Azalea Park on the Chattahoochee, Monday, September 26 at 1:30 PM. And the second, a more modern take on Teshuvah and Tashlich called Reverse Tashlich. This is where we help to gather up our sins by cleaning up some of the human mess, all the stuff that people have thrown into the rivers and parks. Thanks to the efforts of TBT’s Green Team, we will gather at Waller Park Sunday, October 2 at 1:00 PM for a Tikkun HaYam, day of healing our waterways. *Great project for B. Mitzvah students and their families!

Consider volunteering as a family to help stock shelves at our local food bank, collect canned goods or old clothes to donate, or have a treasure hunt around your house to find loose change to place in a tzedakah box to give to a special charity. The week before Rosh Hashanah, make holiday cards to send to family members, elderly neighbors, or a local retirement home. Spend the time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur visiting and catching up with relatives and friends who may be lonely. TBT will once again be collecting food for the hungry, leading up to and during the High Holidays. We support NFCC Food Pantry, JF&CS Kosher Food Pantry and the Atlanta Food Bank. You can drop off your non perishable items at TBT through Yom Kippur. Don’t forget to sign up for the Rise Against Hunger event during Simchat Torah.
During Rosh Hashanah, many individuals and synagogues observe a fun outdoor tradition whose origins go back to the Middle Ages. It’s called tashlich, which is the Hebrew word for “casting off/throwing off.”

Doing acts of Teshuvah & Tzedakah
People gather together at a body of flowing water often a nearby river, but it can be a lake or even the ocean and they bring something to throw in the water (we used to use bread crumbs, but have learned they are not good for the animals, and now opt for something natural, like pebbles or leaves). The leader invites everyone to grab a handful of what you’ve chosen to toss and imagine that they represent all of our misdeeds over the course of the past year. Then, we toss them into the water, symbolically “casting our sins upon the waters.”
Like many of the other symbols and rituals of these holidays, many people participate in the ritual without taking the metaphor literally. Often, the person leading Tashlich will offer some words of hope and encouragement to everyone to continue doing the work of teshuvah of moral self examination, of offering apologies when appropriate, of seeking to improve ourselves going forward. If the weather is good, this is a fun ritual for young children, and a great opportunity for folks of all ages to get a chance to mingle with other folks in the community.

On Selichot, we witness the T'keyah Gedola for the first time signaling that the year is now close at hand. One week later on Rosh Hashanah as we stand as one community, we will experience 100 blasts of the shofar, a volleying of all of the sounds, building in crescendo until that final blast ten days later, one long Tekiya Gedolah at N’eliah. So much emotion will occur in those moments of sound. What an experience! Are you ready to be called forward?! We are very grateful that our fantastic Ba'al T'keyiah Joel Margolies will again be with us throughout the holidays to arouse our souls with those awesome Shofar blasts!

6. Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is set all the way through and feels springy to the touch (30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of your baking dishes). A tester inserted into the center should come out clean. Let cool 15 minutes before removing from the baking dish. Slide a knife around the edges to help loosen the cake, if necessary.
Rosh Hashanah Honey Cake
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously grease the baking pan(s) with nonstick cooking spray, baking spray, or butter. (Use either three 9 by 5 inch loaf pans, one 9 by 13 inch baking pan, or any equivalent sized pans.)
5. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of honey over the batter.
As we do this accounting, a vision for the new year can Whatemerge.abeautiful opportunity for us all, to be invited into this gift of reflection, forgiveness, renewal and joy. I, along with Cantor Kassel, the Board of Trustees and our wonderfully dedicated and creative TBT staff are working to create an uplifting and open hearted Holy Day setting for us all to respond to that Divine call. We will mark this time of song, prayer, turning and introspection with our community, and renew our celebration of Jewish life and living for us all to return again. We look forward to seeing you all soon, either in person or on the live stream, as together we welcome in the Hebrew year 5783.
3. Add the oil, 3/4 cup of the honey, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, coffee or tea, and orange juice. Mix thoroughly, until all ingredients are combined and no lumps remain.
A FROMMESSAGETHE Return * Rejoice * Renew “Return again, return again Return to the land of your soul Return to what you are Return to who you are Return to where you are born and reborn again Return to the land of your soul”
This is the refrain of one of the beloved pieces of music sung during the High Holy Day season. It calls us to approach the holidays by opening to our deepest selves, inviting us to reflect upon deep questions who we are, whom and what we treasure, what matters to our hearts, our souls, our lives. If this were the last day of my life, would I have the same plans for today or would choose differently? What am I doing about the things that matter most in my life? What is life asking of me?

Pg. 3 News and Happenings from Temple Beth Tikvah
The controversial “Unetane Tokef” prayer reminds us, as if we needed reminding, that many things happen to us that seem to be out of our control. The prayer concludes, however, with three things that are in our control teshuvah, tefilah and tzedakah repentence, prayer and righteous giving. These three things can and do have a positive affect on the ups and downs, gains and losses we are sure to encounter. Each of these things are RELATIONSHIP based. The first, teshuvah, is about our relationship with God and with other human beings. Teshuvah requires introspection on how we’ve grown away from God and how we may have wronged others. Publishing on social media, “I hereby apologize to anybody I might have wronged in the past year” does not, contrary to popular belief, constitute teshuvah. It requires direct communication with one whom you may have wronged either intentionally or unintentionally. Returning to God may come about through the introspection acquired through tefilah: prayer. Deconstruction of the Hebrew for ‘prayer’ brings us to self judgement, self assessment. Teshuvah and tefilah combined lead us to the the third action that tempers the harshness of of troublesome and challenging things that befall us: tzedakah. When we are young, we are taught that tzedakah means ‘charity’ and that translation does no justice to the word. Tzedakah are deeds of righteousness with may include the giving of money to those in need but more fully encompasses deeds beyond money, such as our time and attention to Willothers.5783 be a good year for you? I believe this depends on the relationships in your life – with God, with family, with friends, and the multitude of others with whom your path connects, either directly or indirectly. We here at Temple Beth Tikvah very much want to be in relationship with ShanahYOU! Tovah to all, Will it be a Shanah Tova/Good Year for YOU?

Yom Kippur Intensive self reflection heshbon hanefesh — is the name of the game on Yom Kippur and the High Holy Days overall. The centerpiece is teshuvah, the idea that change is possible within all living systems. That’s true for individuals, communities and entire societies. For 25 hours, we abstain from food and drink, and we wear white and take an honest look inside to reflect on who we have become and who we could be.
Selichot
A quick reminder of each stage in our Holy Day cycle HOLY DAYS
The entire month before the High Holy Days is set aside as a time of spiritual preparation. The theme of the month is Love, and we spend the month trying to get back into loving relationship with God, with humanity, with creation, and with ourselves.
Tashlich
Each year, it’s our tradition to gather in song and community at the river for a ritual “casting away” of our missteps, mistakes and bad
The Ten Days of Teshuvah – On Rosh Hashanah, we are written into the Books of Life and Death, the liturgy tells us, and on Yom Kippur those books are sealed. And so, during the days in between, we do everything we can to ensure a true transformation, and a hatima tova, a “good sealing.” It is a time of making things right, seeking forgiveness, and giving tzedakah.
The Month of Elul –
Sh’mini Atzeret/Simchat Torah – The final chapters of the Holy Days. As the holiday season culminates in an outburst of joy, we affirm that despite hardships we may encounter, the Torah is our Emet, our guiding beacon, it affirms and enriches our lives.
A series of communal prayers asking for forgiveness, recited in the days leading up to the High Holy Days, beginning the Saturday evening before Rosh Hashanah. Helps to get our heads in the game.
Rosh Hashanah
The start of the new year brings our annual chance to step out of our daily routines and try to recapture a sense of possibility. Happy birthday, world. Rosh Hashanah is a two day holiday, whose central ritual is that great call to action, the blowing of the Shofar.
Sukkot As soon as Yom Kippur ends, we move from the realm of the soul and plant our feet firmly back on the ground. For seven days we eat (and for some, sleep) in a sukkah, a makeshift hut that is just susceptible enough to the elements to remind us of our vulnerability and also the blessings of security.

Over the summer, TBT Preschool camp was a great success, and our most recent fun filled Splish Splash Shabbat was enjoyed by all. It was nice seeing so many “old” and “new” kiddos fromTBT. I am excited to welcome back so many familiar preschool families, and to say hello to some additional families, newly enrolled for our 2022 2023 Preschool year. We have many returning teachers, too, and a few first timers: our Preschool sure is growing, with additional staff and students.The children will be very excited to celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. They will make challah plates, honey jars, and enjoy dipping apples and honey. We will have lots of fun making round challahs and singing happy birthday to the world. We will hear the shofar blow, and learn how to say Tekiah, Teruah,Shevarim,TekiahG’dolah. For Sukkot, the children will decorate fruit and hang it in our sukkah. The classes will paint and color their own class sukkahs, and everyone will have snack or lunch outside in the sukkah. The children will also getto shakethelulav and etrog. I hope that everyone has a happy healthy New Year. Our school is growing! We so appreciateall of our preschool families. Preschool Director

Using the studentsthevalues,fitShalomLearningcurriculum,weeklylessonswithinaframeworkthatteachesJewishbasicHebrew,andtheholidaysofJewishyear.Currently,ourprimary(gradesK -2) are learning about Hakarat HaTov, literally “recognizing the good,” while students in grades 3 7 are studying Teshuva, and discussing ways to “return” to their Jewish path. Our Sunday mornings begin with Hebrew learning (Grades 3 6) and are anchored by a community-wide T’fillah at 10:00 AM. It is truly beautiful to see (and hear) our future singing,praying,and learningtogether. This month, as we settle into the routines of the new school year and look forward to the upcoming High Holidays, we are reminded that Jewish learning is both a mitzvah AND a blessing. We reap the benefits of our ancestors’ struggles as we come together as a Jewish community, and, by doing so, we carry the traditions and teachings onfor thenext generations. I hope that you and your family will join us for our High Holiday Family Experience Programming for Rosh Hashanah. I have somethingsweetinstorefor you! Shana Tovah!
RELIGIOUS SCHOOL

Judy Limor, Religious School Director For many of our children (and even the adults!), the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah is associated with honey honey sticks, honey cake, apples and honey… We say, “May you have a good and sweet New Year,” and our words are complemented by the consumption of this sticky treat. And although it may be messy, there is no doubt that young and old alike are able to make positive connections between the celebration of the holiday and the yummy taste. Interestingly (and perhaps not coincidentally), the taste of honey is also linked with Jewish learning. It is customary to introduce the study of Hebrew with a dab of honey on the letters of the alef bet, so that students learn to associate their learning with delight. As we grow, we continue to strengthen this bond. On Shabbat mornings at camp, we move into the weekly Torah portion with a melody from Dan Nichols, popular Jewish singer/ songwriter. We sing, “Sweet as honey, sweet as honey, sweet as honey on our tongue. Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech Haolam Asher k’dishanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu Laasok b’divrei Torah…Let us soak it up and let it all sink in…sweet words of Torah.” Blessed are You, God, Ruler of the Universe, Who has made us holy in Your mitzvot and commanded us to immerse inthewords of Torah.

At the end of August, the eight members of the HOTTY Youth Group Board (or HoBo as they call themselves) spent a weekend together planning for the upcoming year. This weekend, of course, is about fun and bonding and learning how to work together (what you might call the “soft skills.”) However, most of the weekend is spent learning the “hard skills.” They talked about the responsibilities of each of their positions. They learned what it means to be accountable (Doing what you said you would do, as you said you would do it, when you said you would do it PERIOD). They also spent time during this weekend setting goals for themselves for the coming year. They created action plans outlining the steps needed to make their goals happen. And they planned a full calendar of fun events for the year (check out the event calendar below). It’s a packed weekend, that our teens walk away from with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead HOTTY for the upcoming year.
