IN ONE OF THE MOST REVEALING affirmative moments of our High Holy Day liturgy we stand before the open ark as Cantor Judy chants ldquoAdonai Adonairdquo a recitation of Godrsquos loving and merciful qualities The prayer is a direct quotation from the Torah (Exodus 346) God declared to Moses that despite the sin of the golden calf Adonai still wished to continue in a covenantal relationship with the people In a moment of severe concern and distress God reassured us that patience love and forgiveness were the hallmarks of a merciful creator But almost seventy-five years since the Holocaust even as we are inspired by the sentiment of these words we are confounded by them as well We ask rhetorically ldquoWhat happened to this sacred covenantrdquo We ask ldquoIf you could redeem us from our enslavement in Egypt why did you abandon us in Europerdquo How can the Holocaust be reconciled with a God who we continue to describe as ldquocompassionate and graciousrdquo and ldquoabounding in kindnessrdquo Indeed many Jews have asked why we continue to abide by the law of a God who appeared to abandon us in our most desperate hour These are questions that continue to haunt us Starting in the 1960rsquos rabbis and scholars began to confront the profound theological implications of the Holocaust Godrsquos benevolence power and authority were now in question and Jews from every stream raised doubts and concerns about religious tenets that had been sacrosanct for centuries Is God at least in part responsible for the suffering of our people And if so why In condemning our so-called civilization one could hardly blame the rabbis who declared that ldquoGod was deadrdquo A more measured school of rabbinic thought asserted that God was hiding and that Godrsquos veil could no longer be pierced And still others argued that Jewish life would now be defined by the moral imperative to find meaning in a fallen world We will explore all of these questions and more in ldquoThe Meaning of Faith After the Holocaustrdquo a five-week Lunch and Learn class beginning this month The class will be a survey of post-Holocaust faith literature It will include texts by Rabbi Richard Rubenstein who infamously wrote that we live in ldquothe time of the death of Godrdquo Rabbi Irving ldquoYitzrdquo Greenberg whose theories on the evolving nature of our covenant with God have been highly influential and Rabbi Eliezer Berkovits an Orthodox rabbi whose

book ldquoFaith After the Holocaustrdquo is the most comprehensive study of our religious response to the Shoah We will also examine the work of Holocaust philosopher and historian Emil Fackenheim who declared that the Jewsrsquo 614th commandment was to stay engaged in Jewish life if for no other reason than not to give Hitler any ldquoposthumous victoriesrdquo And we will also touch on the founding of Israel and how it has impacted post-Holocaust theology in surprising and unexpected ways Please join me for what promises to be a provocative and fascinating conversation The class will meet on October 17th 24th and 31st and November 7th and 14th from 12pm ndash 1pm If for some reason you cannot attend every class please donrsquot fret Each class will cover different theological views If you have to miss a class you can still participate fully in the next weekrsquos discussion Bring your lunch and we will provide the drinks and dessert Please call the office to register I look forward to seeing you soonIn addition to this Lunch and Learn class we are also excited to present ldquoChildhood Left at the Station A Tribute to the Children of the Kindertransportrdquo an exhibition on loan from the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust This exhibit which will be displayed in the Silverstein Meeting Hall highlights the stories of 10 children ranging in age from 5 to 17 who left their homes and families in Germany Austria Czechoslovakia and Poland and were placed with strangers in Switzerland and the United Kingdom The exhibit includes a history of the Kindertransport the personal stories of the childrenrsquos experience reflections from a rescuing family and facsimiles of primary source documents This special exhibit has been brought to us by the leadership and generosity of our Executive Director Judy Moseley whose motherrsquos family was in part saved by the Kindertransport We are so grateful to Judy for bringing us this powerful example of courage and nobility during this dark period Please make sure you stop and see this exhibit which will be on display from September 20th until October 31st 2019 Shanah tovah May 5780 be a year of health prosperity and peace for our community our people our nation and the world

Rabbi Howard Voss-Altman ldquoThe Complexities of the Holocaustrdquo

YOM KIPPUR Yom Kippur means ldquoDay of Atonementrdquo and refers to the annual Jewish observance of fasting prayer and repentance Part of the High Holidays which also includes Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur is considered the holiest day on the Jewish calendar In three separate

passages in the Torah the Jewish people are told ldquothe tenth day of the seventh month is the Day of Atonement It shall be a sacred occasion for you You shall practice self-denialrdquo(Leviticus 2327) Fasting is seen as fulfilling this biblical commandment The Yom Kippur fast also enables us to put aside our physical desires to concentrate on our spiritual needs through prayer repentance and self-improvement

Yom Kippur is the moment in Jewish time when we dedicate our minds bodies and souls to reconciliation with God our fellow human beings and ourselves We are commanded to turn to those whom we have wronged first acknowledging our sins and the pain we might have caused At the same time we must be willing to forgive and to let go of certain offenses and the feelings of resentment they provoked in us On this journey we are both seekers and givers of pardon

FASTINGFasting was originally seen as fulfilling the biblical commandment to ldquopractice self-denialrdquo The Yom Kippur fast enables us for at least one day each year to ignore our physical desires focusing instead on our spiritual needs Throughout the day we concentrate on prayer repentance and self-improvement before returning to our usual daily routine after the holiday

According to tradition all females from age 12 and all males from age 13 must fast The traditional fast encompasses a full 24-hour period beginning after the Erev Yom Kippur meal and extending to the following evening During this time no eating or drinking is permitted

Judaism has a deep reverence for life and though the Yom Kippur fast is of great importance it is never allowed to jeopardize health Those too ill to fast (or to fast fully) are prohibited from doing so Those who need to take medication are allowed to eat and drink as are pregnant women or women who have just given birth

MUSICKol Nidrei means ldquoall vowsrdquo and is the name given to the special liturgical formulation chanted by Jews solely on Yom Kippur It is a legal formula for the annulment of vows which dates back many centuries The practice of reciting Kol Nidrei probably began in about the ninth century CE Recited in a mix of Hebrew and Aramaic the vernacular language of the time Kol Nidrei cancels and annuls all unintended vows made to God during the previous year

Traditionally Kol Nidrei is chanted three times though only once in some Reform congregations The threefold repetition most likely derives from the ancient practice of reciting all official proclamations three times

SUKKOTSukkot a Hebrew word meaning ldquoboothsrdquo or ldquohutsrdquo refers to the annual Jewish festival giving thanks for a bountiful fall harvest and commemorating the 40 years of Jewish wandering in the desert after Sinai

Sukkot begins five days after Yom Kippur on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Tishri The holiday is observed for seven days by Israeli and Reform Jews and for eight days by traditional Jews living outside of Israel

The Bible refers to the festival as Chag Hasukkot the Feast of Booths (Lev 2334) Chag Haasif the Feast of Ingathering (Ex 2316) and simply Hechag the Festival (I Kings 82) In addition as the literary of rabbinic times emerged centuries later the holiday was also designated Zeman Simchatenu the Season of our Joy

HOW DID SUKKOT ORIGINATELike many societies the ancient Hebrews had a variety of agricultural festivals Sukkot probably began as one of these ceremonial expressions of thanks to God for a good crop By biblical times Sukkot had developed into the celebration of the summer fruit harvest ldquoAt the end of the year when you gather in your produce from the fieldsrdquo (Exodus 2316)

Sukkot became one of the three Jewish pilgrimage festivals (Shalosh Regalim) As on Pesach and Shavuot the people would bring a portion of their harvestrsquos first fruits to the Temple in Jerusalem There it would be offered as a sacrifice to God

The holiday that became Sukkot initially had no fixed date and was observed whenever the harvest had been completed depending on climactic conditions By Torah times however the Book of Leviticus (2334) declared ldquoOn the fifteenth day of the seventh month there shall be a Feast of Tabernacles to God for seven daysrdquo The date then was standardized And as was the case with so many agricultural celebrations the holiday was invested with strong historical significance Just as Pesach had been tied to the Exodus and Shavuot associated with the giving of the Torah Sukkot came to reflect the wilderness experience The 40 years of wandering in the desert prior to entering the Promised Land was captured symbolically in the frail sukkah ldquoFor in booths did I make the Children of Israel dwell when I brought them out of the land of Eqyptrdquo (Lev 2343)

A NEW KIND OF EXERCISEWe have all heard of the many approaches to exercise for better health Probably a good number of us have tried at least one or two of them Spinning running boot camp swimming all provide some benefit for the body and mind Today however there is a new special kind of exercise It is called

Ushering It not only addresses the cardiovascular aspects and the mental benefits of movement but more importantly it provides spiritual well-being The feelings derived from contributing to Temple Beth-Elrsquos High Holy Day and Shabbat services along with those special moments when certain prayer book passages and messages from the sermon resonate within provide a sense of unique connection that simply cannot be beat

If you are interested in taking a leap to Ushering please contact Judy Moseley at the temple office or Ellis Waldman at elliswwalcokipcom

bull Please bring your admission ticket or guest pass and present it to the usher or security guard as you enter the Temple No one will be admitted without a ticket or pass

bull Our ushers will help maintain the dignity of our services and at the same time be aware of the surroundings If you have any concerns please report them to any one of our ushers Ushers will be posted in the back sides and front of the sanctuary

bull Please do not bring backpacks or large parcels These items will be searched by an usher security guard or police officer You will either be asked to return the backpack or large parcel to your vehicle or it will be stored until the end of the service

bull Sacks of food donated for the High Holy Day Food Drive should be left outside the Temple in shopping carts Our ushers and Social Action Committee members will open each bag before bringing it into the Meeting Hall

bull As we have done each year the Temple will hire uniformed police officers to be stationed inside the building as well as patrol by foot around the outside perimeters of the building during all High Holy Day worship services

bull In addition two of the Temple staff will act as security in both the back parking lot and on the front terrace

bull The Providence Police Lieutenant assigned to our area will be informed of the Holy Day Service schedule and will provide additional patrols of the neighborhood surrounding our Temple

bull Several members who are medical professionals will be available during worship services In the event of a member or guest feeling ill anyone nearby should report directly to an usher who will then contact our appointed medical person

bull In the event of an emergency evacuation follow the ushersrsquo guidance to the nearest exit

Although we have no indication of an emergency the above measures are important steps to take for our sense of well-being and security Thank you for your cooperation

SECURITY FOR THE HIGH HOLY DAYSWe ask your cooperation with regard to the following security measures set in place for the High Holy Days

e previous sessions of Mussar Living were such a success that we are continuing with a fallwinter session Join us as we delve into this deep and meaningful Jew-ish practice that provides a roadmap for meaningful living Mussar is an ongoing practice and there is much to learn from the session even if cannot attend every class

Mussar is an age-old Jewish practice that began with rabbinic sages and was crys-talized in early modernity e Mussar sages believed that in order to achieve greater Shalom (peace) in life ndash both individually and as a community ndash we must strive for greater Shrsquolemut (wholeness) Our sages held that whether we realize it or not we all have a ldquolife curriculumrdquo that requires that we nd internal balance in order to have the fullest life possible Mussar practice is our traditionrsquos roadm-ap for realizing that personal curriculum and striving for greater Shrsquolemut

In this ten-week session Rabbi Ruit will guide us in developing and continuing our Mussar practice We will learn the mindfulness techniques developed by the Mussar sages to help facilitate the quest for wholeness (special meditations visu-alizations intentional journaling) and study the Mussar texts that illuminate the Middot (traits) which are part of our life curriculum

e class is open to everyone so feel free to share with anyone who you think might be interested ndash TBE members $100 Non-members $125

e previous sessions of Mussar Living were such a success that we are continuing with a fallwinter session Join us as we delve into this deep and meaningful Jew-ish practice that provides a roadmap for meaningful living Mussar is an ongoing practice and there is much to learn from the session even if cannot attend every class

Mussar is an age-old Jewish practice that began with rabbinic sages and was crys-talized in early modernity e Mussar sages believed that in order to achieve greater Shalom (peace) in life ndash both individually and as a community ndash we must strive for greater Shrsquolemut (wholeness) Our sages held that whether we realize it or not we all have a ldquolife curriculumrdquo that requires that we nd internal balance in order to have the fullest life possible Mussar practice is our traditionrsquos roadm-ap for realizing that personal curriculum and striving for greater Shrsquolemut

In this ten-week session Rabbi Ruit will guide us in developing and continuing our Mussar practice We will learn the mindfulness techniques developed by the Mussar sages to help facilitate the quest for wholeness (special meditations visu-alizations intentional journaling) and study the Mussar texts that illuminate the Middot (traits) which are part of our life curriculum

e class is open to everyone so feel free to share with anyone who you think might be interested ndash TBE members $100 Non-members $125

e previous sessions of Mussar Living were such a success that we are continuing with a fallwinter session Join us as we delve into this deep and meaningful Jew-ish practice that provides a roadmap for meaningful living Mussar is an ongoing practice and there is much to learn from the session even if cannot attend every class

Mussar is an age-old Jewish practice that began with rabbinic sages and was crys-talized in early modernity e Mussar sages believed that in order to achieve greater Shalom (peace) in life ndash both individually and as a community ndash we must strive for greater Shrsquolemut (wholeness) Our sages held that whether we realize it or not we all have a ldquolife curriculumrdquo that requires that we nd internal balance in order to have the fullest life possible Mussar practice is our traditionrsquos roadm-ap for realizing that personal curriculum and striving for greater Shrsquolemut

In this ten-week session Rabbi Ruit will guide us in developing and continuing our Mussar practice We will learn the mindfulness techniques developed by the Mussar sages to help facilitate the quest for wholeness (special meditations visu-alizations intentional journaling) and study the Mussar texts that illuminate the Middot (traits) which are part of our life curriculum

e class is open to everyone so feel free to share with anyone who you think might be interested ndash TBE members $100 Non-members $125

To Register go to httpswwwtemple-beth-elorgeventmussar---taught-by-rabbi-gavi-ruithtml or call Temple Beth-El 401-331-6070

e previous sessions of Mussar Living were such a success that we are continuing with a fallwinter session Join us as we delve into this deep and meaningful Jew-ish practice that provides a roadmap for meaningful living Mussar is an ongoing practice and there is much to learn from the session even if cannot attend every class

Mussar is an age-old Jewish practice that began with rabbinic sages and was crys-talized in early modernity e Mussar sages believed that in order to achieve greater Shalom (peace) in life ndash both individually and as a community ndash we must strive for greater Shrsquolemut (wholeness) Our sages held that whether we realize it or not we all have a ldquolife curriculumrdquo that requires that we nd internal balance in order to have the fullest life possible Mussar practice is our traditionrsquos roadm-ap for realizing that personal curriculum and striving for greater Shrsquolemut

In this ten-week session Rabbi Ruit will guide us in developing and continuing our Mussar practice We will learn the mindfulness techniques developed by the Mussar sages to help facilitate the quest for wholeness (special meditations visu-alizations intentional journaling) and study the Mussar texts that illuminate the Middot (traits) which are part of our life curriculum

e class is open to everyone so feel free to share with anyone who you think might be interested ndash TBE members $100 Non-members $125
