Israel�Needs�UsNothing is more frustrating than to sit
safely�and�comfortably�in�our�American�homes�and�watch�while�IsraelÕs�safety�and�security�are�threatened.�We�watch�as�clueless�reporters�interview�Hamas�terrorists�and�a�wide�assortment�of�boilerplate�anti-Semites�straight from central casting who are paraded
in�front�of�the�cameras�to�spout�bald-faced�lies�about�Israel�and�Jews.�WeÕve�seen�this�obscene�display�time�and�again�in�our�long�history.�WeÕve�witnessed practiced deceit foisted on the world
by those trained in perpetrating the big lie. The
Nazis�perfected�it,�but�there�are�many�modern�day copycats who are tirelessly trotting out
their clumsy imitations. Europe is still rife with
anti-Semitism,�but�the�Muslim�fundamentalists�in�the�Middle�East�and�Asia�are�crafting�their�own virulent strain of that old poison. That
so�many�American�reporters�are�witting�(or�unwitting) accomplices of passing on hysterical
lies about Israel and calumnious swipes against
Judaism is a tragic indictment on the esteemed
and�vital�fourth�estate�of�democracy.�A�free�and knowledgeable press is essential for all
free�societies.�Woe�to�this�generation�that�is�subjected�to�the�media�ÒpersonalitiesÓ�in�the�American�and�European�press�establishment�who have sold out Israel for a pocket full of
ratings,�proÞts�and�the�pitiful�disregard�of�truth�in exchange for loyalty to the Journalism 101
directive�Òif�it�bleeds,�it�leads.Ó�Fortunately,�most�of�the�American�public�
recognizes�and�rejects�the�media�canards�that�condemn Israel for defending herself against an
onslaught�of�thousands�of�missiles�Þred�against�her�by�the�Palestinians.�What�other�nation�on�earth�sends�leaßets�and�makes�warning�phone�calls to enemy combatants in order to lessen the
number�of�collateral�injuries?�Indeed,�no�other�nation has ever gone to such length as Israel has
to reduce the number of casualties among those
enemies who are feverishly trying to destroy
it.�Americans�see�what�Israel�is�up�against�and�they�instinctively�know�that�IsraelÕs�enemies�are�the�same�people�who�hate�the�United�States�of�America�and�every�other�free�and�democratic�nation.�Americans�know�that�Israel�is�on�the�vanguard,�defending�the�hope�for�a�peaceful,�respectful,�egalitarian�future�that�is�under�vicious�attack by a medieval horde bent on spreading
a vision of oppression and fundamentalist
intolerance.�Americans�know�what�Israel�is�up�against,�and�poll�after�poll�shows�that�Americans�are overwhelmingly in support of Israel. But we
cannot�take�for�granted�this�support!

more.�In�Pirkei�Avot�we�read,�ÒAveirah�goreret�aveirahÑone�transgression�leads�to�another.Ó�Like�a�branch�on�a�tree,�if�we�keep�bending�our�morals,�we�risk�breaking�them.�On�the�other�hand,�when�we�uphold�our�morals,�when�we�strive�to�follow�the path of righteousness in everything that we
do,�Òmitzvah goreret mitzvahÑone�mitzvah,�one�act�of�justice,�leads�to�another.Ó
Of�course,�there�are�sometimes�gray�areas:�good ends that require us to choose evil means
because�there�are�no�good�options.�We�do�ourselves a disservice when we rationalize the
best�of�the�worst�as�good.�We�would�uphold�our�integrity better if we recognized the evil we must
choose as such and made every possible attempt
to avoid being in a similar position in the future.
As�we�enter�the�new�year,�I�encourage�us�all�to�reßect�on�the�times�when�we�let�good�ends�justify�immoral means and times when we rationalized
ÒwrongsÓ�into�Òin-betweensÓ�or�Òrights?Ó�How�can we accomplish our goals without resorting to
acts�that�detract�from�our�integrity?�Thankfully,�the Yamim�Nora-im�(Days�of�Awe)�give�us�the�opportunity to learn from the past and prepare

Does�the�End�Justify�the�Beans?In the musical�Into�the�Woods,�the�Baker�
and�his�Wife�argue�about�the�morality�of�trading�ÒmagicÓ�beans�for�JackÕs�all-white,�but�entirely�dried-up�cow,�which�they�need�to�break�the�WitchÕs�curse.�The�BakerÕs�Wife�thinks�that�the�beans are a fair trade—magic beans are certainly
worth more than anyone else would pay for a cow
that�canÕt�give�milk.�The�Baker,�on�the�other�hand,�isnÕt�sure�that�the�beans�are�magic�and�worries�that�they�have�scammed�poor�Jack.�He�asks�his�Wife,�ÒAre�we�to�dispel�this�curse�through�deceit?Ó�and�she�responds,�ÒThere�are�rights�and�wrongs�and�in-betweensÉIf�the�end�is�right,�it�justiÞes�the�beans.Ó
Our machzor�(High�Holy�Day�prayerbook)�challenges this perspective. It includes in the
Al�Cheit��confession�of�sin�Òall�the�evil�means�we�employ�to�accomplish�good�ends.Ó�We�compromise our integrity and the integrity of our
work when we bend our morals to accomplish our
goals,�and�it�can�be�so�easy�to�rationalize�some�of�the�Òin-betweenÓ�means�that�donÕt�seem�Òevil.Ó�We�might�tell�a�little�lie�here�or�a�half-truth�there�to�get�people�to�join�our�cause.�We�might�ignore�the needs of the people helping us as we work to
reach�the�end�more�quickly.�We�might�redirect�funds�to�support�our�good�project.�We�might�cause a little harm here to do a lot of good there.
The�problem�with�these�small,�rationalized,�just-a-little-wrong�acts�is�that�they�lead�us�to�

Every�September,�I�ask�myself�where�did�the�summer�ßy�oȔ�to?��Well,�summer�at�Temple�Sinai�was�Þlled�with�many�exciting�events,�including�our�Groundbreaking�Ceremony,�the�steady�course�of construction of our new school building and
the�arrival�of�our�newest�bright�light,�Cantor�Sheila�Nesis.�During�the�summer�months,�each�time�I�was�at�Temple,�I�viewed�the�building�progress and marveled at how far we have come.
It�is�only�through�the�diligence,�persistence�and�expertise�of�our�Building�Committee,�consisting�of�Michael�Mellun,�Marshall�Abrahams,��Rob�Abramson,�Neil�Culbertson,�Nate�Mendel,�Larry�Jacobson,�and�CliȔ�Yeckes;�our�Fundraising�Campaign,�headed�by�the�extraordinary�Sheryl�Gurrentz; and the commitment of our loyal
congregants who have gotten us this far. I also
thank each of you for embracing and taking part
in�SinaiÕs�Building�our�Future.This�year�Rosh�HaShanah�begins�on�the�
evening�of�September�24,�ushering�in�the�auspicious�Ten�Days�of�Awe�that�end�on�Yom�Kippur,�October�4.��It�is�during�this�ten-day�period�that Jews ask God and others for forgiveness
for any wrongs committed during the previous
year.��I�ask�you�to�join�me�in�resolving�diȔerences,�setting�aside�long-held�grudges�and�disputes�with�those you encountered and especially those you
love.�For�myself,�if�I�have�inadvertently�wronged,�slighted or hurt anyone in the congregation since
becoming�President,�I�ask�you�for�forgiveness�and�commit to do my best in the new year. I have
found that it is next to impossible to carry out the
role�of�President�without�some�missteps�along�the way.
During�the�High�Holy�Days,�please�give�a�smile,��a�hug�and�thank�you�to�our�fabulous�clergy�and�staȔ�who�make�our�High�Holy�Day�experience�exceedingly�meaningful,�as�well�as�beautiful to behold. Joe and I wish you and your

This�past�year,�Cindy�served�on�our�Youth�Committee�in�two�major�roles.�She�chaired�the�Temple�Sinai�Connections�program,�which�helps�our�post-high�school�students�still�feel�part�of�and�connected to our community by sending them care packages
at�Chanukah�and�Passover.�She�also�played�an�integral�role�in�planning,�running�and�volunteering�at�Winter�Chavurah,�that�
was held this past January at Temple Sinai and attended
by�more�than�200�youth.�Additionally,�she�helped�secure�donations�for�the�weekend,�and�she�and�her�husband,�Rich,�hosted�the�advisorsÕ�dinner�in�their�home,�where�she�prepared a homeÐcooked meal for 30 advisors from around
the�region.�Her�enthusiasm,�hard�work�and�dedication�helped�to�make�this�event�a�huge�success.�Cindy�also�enjoys�sharing�her love of cooking and baking with our Temple community
by�volunteering�to�bake�for�Onegs,�make�meals�for�families�in�times�of�need�and�host�ÒCooking�with�Mama�CoonsÓ�programs�for�our�youth.�Cindy�shares,�ÒIt�is�important�for�our�community�to�support�our�youth,�to�meet�them�where�they�are�on�their�Jewish�journeys�and�to�provide�them�with�opportunities to explore Judaism in ways that are relevant
and meaningful. Every opportunity we have to engage in
exploring�Judaism�with�our�youth,�to�help�them�Þnd�their�Jewish�voice�and�develop�their�Jewish�identities�is�a�privilege,�an honor and a blessing. I feel so blessed to be part of this
extraordinary community and I love volunteering because it
provides�me�with�opportunities�to�give�back�to�Temple�Sinai,�a community that has and continues to support me and my

One of my favorite aspects of Judaism is
the�idea�that�everythingÐfrom�the�most�basic�life�sustaining�activities,�to�once�in�a�lifetime�momentsÐis�worthy�of�sanctifying,�of�being�made�holy.��This�is�especially�true,�for�me,�at�the beginning of the school year and at Rosh
HaShanah.��We�have�a�blessing,�Shecheyanu,�to�thank�God�for�a�new�event,�or�the�reoccurrence�of�something�we�do�every�year.��We�are�asked�to�take�a�moment�and�be�grateful�for�new�clothes,�school�supplies,�the�Þrst�time�with�a�teacher,�reuniting�with�a�friend�we�havenÕt�seen�all�summer,�eating�apples�and�honey�or�lighting�the�Festival�candles.��
As�we�begin�the�school�year,�in�the�rush�and�chaos�so�much�a�part�of�this�season,�I�challenge�our entire community to stop; to take a moment
and�oȔer�appreciation,�gratitude�for�being�here,�for�getting�to�this�time,�for�having�the�opportunity to do these things that mark the
passage of the seasons and the path of our lives.
