Rabbi Spira-Savett
(Continued on the following page …)
We are in the clos-ing two weeks of an election campaign that at the national level has become dangerously divi-sive. As I spoke about on Yom Kippur, division is not just outside between groups in society, but within our own com-munity. So here are some specific suggestions, for Election Day and the days and weeks to follow.Say a b’racha (blessing) at the polls!
From Rabbi Jon’s broken record: Whenever I vote, I think about our ancestors who were slaves in Egypt. I think about my own family, op-pressed without a voice by the czar.
The blessing is right at the beginning of the morning prayers:Baruch... She-asani ben/bat chorin.
Thank you to the One Who has made me a free person.Don’t take Election Day for
granted. Don’t forget to celebrate, no matter what.Reach across the aisle.
This is particularly important this year if you are passionate around a particular issue, party, or candidate. Find a friend who took a vehemently opposite position on something, and commit to one conversation about something political. On Yom Kippur, I suggested this: Talk about where your political passions and priorities came from. What legacies, experiences, teachings?
Another idea that I came across is something you can do before or after-the election. With this friend, throw around suggestions until you have found something you can both agree to act on together in some way. Maybe it’s a small issue, or a bipartisan one, or maybe it’s to be watchdogs against overreaching by whoever comes to be in power.Take responsibility for your side.
On Yom Kippur last year, I said in my sermon that Jewish liberals and Jewish conservatives each have re-sponsibilities to make liberalism and conservatism better in this country.If you are a Jewish conservative,
you now have an enormous respon-
After The Election
This is certainly an interesting election cycle, if not very uplifting. But still we need to vote. The major presidential candidates are not viewed favorably by too many people and the minor candidates have garnered little en-thusiasm. The bizarre turns of this campaign have caused some people to speculate about all sorts of eventuali-ties. An interesting lesson in civics. What happen if a candidate drops out? What if before the election? What if after the election but before the meeting of the Electoral College? What if a minor candidate wins a state and neither of the major candidates wins a majority of the Electoral Col-lege? What if the election goes into
What an Election – Rigged? Not Really

the House of Representatives, where each state would get one vote (That’s right, New Hampshire and Califor-nia, one vote each.) to choose from the top three voted for as President by the Electoral College? Of course, that could never happen, could it?One of the reasons people are so
animated this election cycle relates to the Supreme Court. Many people feel that the election will be fateful for the Supreme Court. Some fear that a generation of jurisprudence may be overturned by appointment of justices who disapprove of earlier decisions. Others are cheered by such a prospect. Supreme court justices are, of course, confirmed by the Senate. Many people were shocked when Senate leadership decided that they would block consideration of
the President’s nominee to succeed Justice Scalia but that shock seems to have faded. While people do not seem as incensed at the refusal of the Senate to fulfill its duty, many people are considering the future of the Supreme Court as they weigh for whom to vote. Several (3) of the current justices have served beyond the conventional retirement age. The next President may need to appoint from one to four justices depending on whether the Senate finally decides to take up the current President’s nominee, the health and the retire-ment plans of the current justices. So, beyond your choice for President, your selection of Senators will also affect confirmation of whomever is nominated for the Court.
sibility to purify conservatism of all forms of bigotry, whether expressed in words or in violence.Jewish liberals have a responsibility
to purify liberalism of the tendency to advocate greater inclusion by dismissing and mocking their op-ponents.Keep connected to a political issue.
Who eats and who does not. Who gets a good education and who does not. Whether we are safe from terror-ism. What young women and men risk their lives for in battle. Whether equality under the law is a reality.If I asked you whether these ques-
tions are important moral issues, I don’t know anyone who would say no. Well, there is no forum that has more impact on these questions than politics.So do something about an issue
in the realm of politics and govern-ment. Or get involved if you areen’t
already in a nonprofit organization that makes a difference, and give your time and/or money. Or keep reading and have interesting con-versations about an issue.Support good leadership wherever
you can.
When you hear of a leader who does something admirable, shout it out! Whether it’s someone in govern-ment or not, whether it’s someone well-known or young and unsung.Write a letter to the editor, or post
about it on Facebook. Tell people why it was admirable. Send her or him a short note.Have coffee or pray with me and
other people.
You’ll see in upcoming announce-ments my next round of coffee stops around the region. Coffee, tea, or any other such drink is on me.
While these are weighty consider-ations and all the more reason to vote, in fact the lives of most people are more directly affected by the selection of local and state candidates. New Hampshire has several critical issues that will likely be decided by the state government over the next few years. Fortunately, New Hampshire government is apt to work better and
be more collegial than Congress but the policy differences, while not as great, have a much larger and more immediate effect on our lives, on the welfare of our state and of our fellow citizens. So, voting for state senate and house of representatives is very important as well.Whatever your thoughts on the mer-
its or lack thereof of the presidential
What an Election continued…
The agenda for these, and after evening minyan a couple times too in November, will be all of the ideas above. I am convinced that we, as individual Jews and a Jew-ish community, have great power to heal our society. Not to paper over differences, but to make the arguments better, and to support those who have stepped forward to do society’s most important work.
L’shalom,
Rabbi Jon

Creating Sacredness in Learning
Director of Education and Family Engagement
Noreen Leibson
Wednesday, October 12 was a very long day. It began the evening before at about 5:15 PM when after finishing a simple meal, my husband and I arrived at the shul for Kol Ni-dre. For as long as I can remem-ber, listening to the rendition of what feels like a prayer has always been a peak moment in my Jewish experi-ence. This year was no exception. The voice of our Hazzan, Stan Juda, rose up and carried me along. The melody is hauntingly beautiful, deeply soulful. For me it’s truly a holy moment in which I feel all my troubles dissolve, and I am present in the moment. How strange that this evocative
melody belongs to a legal declaration rather than a blessing. The words in Kol Nidre are words that a lawyer might write. They declare that we, the “pray-ers”, are permitted to pray with those that have transgressed, and that all of our vows and promises we made to God are made null and void.
So what does this have to do with the Religious School? One essential question is how can we address all the content (teachings and practices) we want our children to learn and make it a spiritual or holy experience. Or in other words, how can we, teachers and parents, bring our children into the garden of learning, to taste the fruit of knowledge and ask for more?An afternoon religious school faces a
lot of challenges. Our students come from far and near already having been in school for about seven hours. They are tired. They are hungry. They need to let off some steam. As the school director (and a former Hebrew school student K- high school), I know this is an important issue that must be ad-dressed. Just as we serve snacks to the children to settle their hungry bellies, we must also serve them inspiring ideas and skills to strengthen their con-nection to a heritage filled with rich traditions. We want them to be active in their learning. We want them to question us – question our traditions and laws and practices. Asking ques-tions, even if they are unanswerable, is a vital part of the Jewish tradition.
This year our faculty is diligently work-ing with your children to help them find their own path, their own way into the garden. While a garden is often filled with beautiful colors and scents, gardens often require skilled gardeners to nurture the blooms. One skill that a Jewish learner needs is Hebrew. He-brew is a key to unlocking the garden gate. Toward this end, we ask you, our students’ parents, to encourage your children to read Hebrew each day and to bring them to Shabbat and holiday services on a regular basis. Also our students need to come to
school where they will learn within a group and build for themselves a com-munity. This is your part. Our part is to provide skilled teachers and a student-centered approach to teaching whether your child is in Gan or high school. We are dedicated to making their time
with us time well spent. Check your email as well as the synagogue bul-letin for special events as well as other important dates. Call me or email me with your questions, your ideas and your feedback. Together we can make this year, 5777, a year to remember. L’shalom,
Noreen

Temple Beth Abraham begins its commemoration of the 50th Anniversary
of the Six-Day War with Shuly Nathan and the story of
“Jerusalem of Gold”!
Shuly Nathan was born to a long family line of artists and musicians. Her fame came overnight, when songwriter
and composer Naomi Shemer demanded that Shuly sing at the Israeli
annual Independence Day song contest held in
Jerusalem. Naomi’s song's name was "Jerusalem of
Gold". Two weeks later, the Six-Day War (1967) broke
out and the song became the hymn and prayer of that war, especially the yearning for Jerusalem to be free and
reunited.
Temple Beth Abraham 4 Raymond St, Nashua, NH

Shuly tours the USA, Canada, and Europe annually. She
conducts her performances in Hebrew, English, French, and Spanish. As a beloved singer, Shuly is known to have people join her in singing, and to enjoy
her wonderful story telling about the songs and their bond to the birth and growing nation
of Israel.

BABKA NEWSThe BABKA book for October
was Sugar: A Tale of Motherhood and Medicine by Raissa Hacohen. We were privileged to Skype with Raissa in Jerusalem, who woke up at 3 AM (Israel time) to converse with us. Raissa talked about her experi-ences with the medical world, as she dealt with the critical condition of her newborn son and learned to advocate for him. She spoke about despair and hope, and how Judaism helped her through difficult times. Raissa presented herself as a loving parent and an effective and assertive woman as she navigated the medi-cal system. After the Skype session ended, Dr. Stephanie Wolf Rosen-blum and Michael Rosenblum, her parents and longstanding Temple
Beth Abraham members, offered their perspectives. The discussion ended with a comparison of Israeli and American health systems. To sum up, the evening was informa-tional, moving, and inspiring. Please see Raissa’s note below.Hi all,
Thank you for taking the time to read my book, Sugar. I appreciated getting the opportunity to speak with you and loved the thoughtful and interesting questions that arose from our discussion.
As a follow up, if you have time, I would really appreciate if you would:

Sisterhood -As We Prepare Our Thanksgiving Celebrations
Let Us Remember Those In NeedDuring the days before Thanksgiv-
ing, Sisterhood will be arranging for volunteers to help out at the Nashua Soup Kitchen, 2 Quincy St, Nashua. This is our opportunity to help those who are less fortunate and make a difference within the Greater Nashua Community. Please join us on Thurs, November, 17 and/or Monday, November 21. If you would like to work directly with the family members to help them make food choices, there is
one shift from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM. If you prefer to work “behind the scenes” to sort and organize food donations there are two shifts from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. In order to make this event a success, we need assistance from members of our congregation and our friends. You do not have to be a member of Sisterhood to volunteer. We invite men, women and teenagers to join
us to perform this mitzvah and we encourage you to volunteer for more than one shift, if you can. There is a job for everyone. We appreciate any amount of time you can donate and we will tailor the job and the hours to meet your needs. If you want to volunteer, or have any questions please email Carol Kaplan at [email protected], or call (603) 860-4163. Thank you! Carol
brief things I want to write about this month:• Rosh Hashanah
and Yom Kippur were wonderful both at home and in the syna-gogue. I am always filled with joy when I hear hundreds of voices singing prayers together. That sound is the highlight of my High Holy Day observance. So I encourage you to come to services often throughout the year, lift your voices in prayer, and continue to make me happy.
• I am sure you all noticed the addition of the first two of our
Twelve Tribes stained glass win-dows. These windows, designed by our own Ruth Harris and skillfully crafted by Chris Grover, bring a new dimension of beauty to our sanctuary. We are receiv-ing interest in these windows. If you would like to donate one in honor or in memory of someone dear to you, please contact Ruth or me for details. It is important to note that these windows are fully funded by the donation, and the balance, after paying the stained glass artist, will go to mortgage balance reduction.
• Be sure to vote! Whatever your political persuasion, voting is both your right and responsibility.
Elaine Brody
• Before we know it Thanksgiv-ing will be here. Our Zimria choir, having sung at the High Holy Days and the Crop Walk, will join the interfaith choir for our annual Interfaith Service on November 22. Watch the weekly announcements for time and place. There is no better time to come together with our friends in the wider community to give thanks for what we have.
Make me happy, donate a window, vote, come to Interfaith Thanks-giving….it is a great deal to think about. Here’s to putting your thoughts into action. L’hitraot,
Elaine

CommunityAs I sat in the TBA sanctuary for the high holy day services, I marveled at the community that had come to-
gether for this religious celebration. There were many friends and familiar faces as I looked around. And there were also new faces and friends I haven’t met yet. I felt comfortable, at home, a part of something more than just me. And I felt really good knowing that I am a part of this community and that I had a hand in its creation and ongoing development.So what’s that got to do with the Internet? For Jews who enjoy traveling or living outside of the New England for
part of the year, you may be curious about Jewish communities where you’ll be traveling or living. The Internet is a great resource for searching out this information. For example, if you’ll be in Florida, FloridaJewish.com has just about
everything you’d need to know. Click on the Communities Directory near the top and you can a list of Jewish communities in Florida along with what you can find in those communities. Do you prefer the southern states? The Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life (ISJL) covers
Texas to Georgia, Kentucky to Florida, and everything in between. It hosts the ISJL Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities, which presents a history of every congregation and significant Jewish community in the South. Perhaps you prefer the west coast area. Review this discussion of Jewish communities in the western United
States. You’ll learn some history and how climate affects community building.If you’re thinking more about Europe, you can look up potential communities by visiting the European
Jewish Congress Web site. Click on Communities in the menu bar to see a map of Europe. Hover over the map to see a brief description of Jewish communities in that country. Additional European Jewry Web sites include the Irish Jewish Community, the Romanian Jewish Heritage site, and the Italian Jewish Community. Traveling further afield, check out the Jewish Community of Indonesia, Jewish Communities of China, and Kulanu: Communities in developing countries.So relax, sit back, and take a journey to another Jewish community!
During Friday evening and Saturday morning services, Memorial prayers will be recited for the following:
