Rachamim/Compassion – not only a feeling, a course of action "Nobody asked who was Jewish and who was not. Nobody asked where you were from. Nobody asked who
your father was or if you could pay. They just accepted each of us, taking us in with warmth, sheltering children,
often without their parents—children who cried in the night from nightmares." *
—Elizabeth Koenig-Kaufman, a former child refugee in Le Chambon
The people of the town of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon in south-central France were responsible for saving thousands of Jewish lives during WWII. The pastors and families of the area welcomed Jews who were freed from Marseilles camps by the efforts of local Quakers. At the risk of the lives of their families the residents of Le Chambon sheltered Jews and other “non-desirables” in their homes. When Vichy patrols came by, they sent the Jews into the woods to hide and called them when the danger had passed. In Judaism the values of love and compassion are understood not only as emotional responses but as active responses. Our love of God is expressed by taking care of God’s creatures. Similarly, compassion is about action. It begins with empathy – How would I feel if I were this person? Nevertheless, compassion is not fully realized until we have DONE something for this person. The Protestants of Le Chambon had a long history of persecution by the Catholic majority. This experience most probably enlivened their empathy with the Jews in that time of our persecution by the Nazis and by the Vichy government of France. The remarkable thing is that they weren’t content to have a fellow feeling – they saved lives, even at the risk of their own. In a Jewish sense, true Rachamim/Compassion is not just feeling, but ACTING on another's behalf. We will be studying Rachamim/Compassion in the next installment of our series of classes on Mussar - Jewish Self-Discipline, or Soul Learning. Try it out. Sunday, November 15: 9:00am – Morning Minyan (weekday prayer service) 10:00am – Put together the boxes we will use for our Thanksgiving Project next week. 11:00am – Study Rachamim with us in our Mussar class based on Alan Morinis’ book Everyday Holiness – The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar. Let’s see how we can develop our capacity for Rachamim, for Compassion, and make a difference for others in our community. Wishing you the experience of developing your Rachamim in this season of thanksgiving. Rabbi Jean E. Eglinton *From the Holocaust Encyclopedia on the website of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum

Rachamim - Compassion The next installment of our series of classes on Mussar True Compassion in a Jewish sense is not just feeling,
but ACTING on another's behalf.
Please join us at 11:00 am - right after we put together boxes for the B’nai Sholom Thanksgiving project.
This Sunday, November 8
Brunch: 10:00 AM Book Discussion 10:30 AM
RSVP for the Brunch to the office Discussion facilitated by Deedee Mufson.
“The Kill Artist,” by Daniel Silva.
There are two books available in the office. You may also order a book from Amazon or check with Cabell County Library for the book.
Tightly written thrillers like The Marching Season have made bestselling novelist Daniel Silva a favorite of readers everywhere. In The Kill Artist, he paints an absorbing portrait of a reluctant hero’s attempt to thwart an old enemy to preserve a precarious peace. After the assassination of his wife and son, Gabriel
Allon retires from his brutal anti-terrorist career and loses himself in his previous cover job: art restoration. But when Tariq al-Hourani, the Palestinian terrorist responsible for his family’s death,
begins a killing spree designed to destroy Middle East peace talks, Gabriel once again slips into the shadowy world of international intrigue.
In a global game of hide-and-seek, the motives of Gabriel and Tariq soon become more personal than politi-
cal. Filled with vivid action and a fascinating cast of supporting characters.

Sophie Tucker was one of the greatest American performers of all time. She was loved all over the world. Sophie performed for over 50 years from Burlesque to Broadway, from NYC to London! Audiences loved her performances.

Want to Get Thin, Nobody Loves a Fat Girl.
NY award-winning actress Kelli Bocock-Natale comes back to her hometown to perform her one-woman show – Sophie Tucker: Last of the Red Hot Mamas! (This FREE event is funded by the Lewis Glick Memorial Fund.)
B’nai Sholom Train To Be Placed In The Temple Soon, Thanks To The Polan Family!
Earlier this year, local artists were picked to decorate trains that were later placed around downtown Huntington to be auctioned off to benefit our local Hoops Family Children's Hospital. Several members of the Polan Family generously submitted the highest bid for the B’nai Sholom train, which was decorated by Rabbi Jean Eglinton and Temple Bar Mitzvah student, Noah Compton. It was decoupaged with photos of B’nai Sholom’s life throughout the years. The gift of the Train will be appreciated by the Congregation for many years. Our sincere thanks to The Polan Family: Sidney Polan and Rick McLAughlin, Marilyn Polan and David King, Lake and Louise Polan, Annette Polan, Lois Anne Polan and Rosilyn Polan. We will proudly display your gift downstairs so everyone gets a close look. Then we will move it to one of the Sunday school rooms that we are going to remodel as a museum and display area.
I would like to thank all the people who have donated books to Our Library, both recently and in the past. We have an assortment of scrapbooks and Memorabilia you would enjoy. Come in, relax and browse through it. It is from the shul and the Temple. You will find it on and under the coffee table. Keep on Reading!

Guest Presenter
Maria Manilla (Writer)
Manilla is a long time Huntington resident and award winning writer.
You may have read Shrapnel, her first novel, her short story collection, Still Life with Plums: Short Stories,
and her most recent work, a novel of magical realism, The Patron Saint of Ugly. Often her stories reflect her own life and life in Huntington.
The leaves are falling and soon the land will be a
colorless canvas. No! No! No!
The Shop ladies have discovered
magnificent pockets of color
and we are unpacking them at this
very moment (we hope).
Trays, baskets, pillows and pictures,
dotted with sea shells, peacocks and
toile (not all at once, you understand).
This new line comes just in time, because the happy holiday of
Hanukah is just around the corner.
We are totally ready! Not only do we have a vast selection of
menorahs and dreidles, we are also up to our elbows in paper,
decorations, and fluffy toys. Need some chocolate? We’ve got it.
Holiday bib? Can do. In fact we can, and will do it all.
Stop on and see for yourself.
Remember to shop early and often; when it’s
gone, it’s gone!!!
