A message from our Spiritual Leader, Rabbi Mark Elber
The Jewish month of Tishrei is filled with holidays: Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, and Sim-chat Torah. I’m writing this as the last holiday of the month of Tishrei, Simchat Torah, has ended. A whirlwind of emotions are brought up by these holidays ranging from the solemnity of the High Holidays to the dancing and singing of Simchat Torah. It’s inevitable that we will reflect during this time not only on what has transpired in the past year, but on what will happen in the coming year. As that well known philoso-pher, Yogi Berra, said: “Making predictions is very difficult – especially about the future.” One thing I can predict with some certainty is that by the time you receive this bulletin, the presidential election will be imminent, which means that a major change in our country is around the corner.
I hope that our country’s factions, which seem terribly di-vided right now, will find a way to work together for the good of everyone. People’s emotions are currently very strained over the divisions and I’m concerned that it’s possible that the election itself, no matter who wins, may not lower the pitch of people’s feelings.
On Saturday morning services there is a short section after the Torah reading/discussion in which a few prayers occur: prayers for healing, for our country, for the State of Is-rael, and for peace. In addition to the prayer for healing, we usually say one or more of these short prayers. In the last month I’ve been feeling the necessity of reciting the prayer for our country weekly. The authors’ of these prayers in our Siddur (prayer book) were very careful to try to articulate the highest ideals of our country which people from across the political spectrum would hopefully agree with. For example: “…bless all the inhabitants of our country with Your spirit. May citizens of all races and creeds forge a common bond in true harmony, to banish hatred and bigotry, and to safeguard the ideals and free institutions that are the pride and glory of our country.”
With what appears to be an increase in expressions of anti-Semitism in the last year, both in Europe, and in the United States since this election campaign has gotten in-creasingly heated, the concern about bigotry is very apt. The Editorial Committee from the Rabbinical Assembly and the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism were careful to word the prayer in a universal manner. We, as a community, need to be concerned not only with our own well-being and the proliferation of bigoted words and behavior against us, but also with the fate and welfare of others. That was one of the main messages of the Haftarah we read during the morning of Yom Kippur. In that Haftarah from the book of Isaiah, the prophet Isaiah says regarding our fasting: “…this is the fast I desire: To unlock fetters of wickedness, and untie the cords of the yoke to let the oppressed go free; to break off every yoke. It is to share your bread with the hungry and
to take the wretched poor into your home; when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to ignore your own kin.” This orientation is echoed six centuries later by Hillel who lived from the first century BCE into the first century CE. Among his well-known pronouncements was: “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, what (kind of person) am I?”
Among the important freedoms guaranteed by our Con-stitution are freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. As stated in the first amendment to the Constitution adopted in 1791 it says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or pro-hibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The Anti-Defamation League’s Task Force on Harassment and Journalism released a report on October 19 to the effect that 2.6 million tweets “containing language frequently found in anti-Semitic speech” were tweeted be-tween August 2015 and July 2016. Among journalists who are receiving hate mail or its social media equivalent, the ten most targeted are all Jewish. The atmosphere of division, lack of civility, and toxic inflammatory speech is cause for great concern. Will reciting this prayer for our country stop this kind of speech and behavior? No, but it is valuable to remember out loud what our values are and to remind each other as a community what matters to us and who we aspire to be.
Rededicating ourselves daily to our core beliefs and val-ues is part of the purpose of prayer, as is keeping in our awareness an attention to the eternal spiritual part of our lives that can be lost sight of during our necessary involve-ment with our physical and economic needs. Reciting the Sh’ma Yisrael, declaring the Oneness of the Eternal One, keeps this in our consciousness. We need to hear this re-minder. Our tradition has always been to recite the words of prayers out loud or in an undertone, but to make them audi-ble at least to ourselves. It’s not that different from when we started the school day by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Repeating the words daily of “with liberty and justice for all” helped keep those cherished ideals in our awareness. It’s easy to think that we know what our beliefs are and we don’t need to repeat them regularly. But I think that prayer and the practice of our tradition are spiritual exercises comparable to physical exercise. If we don’t do them regularly, before we know it, we’re “out of shape.” In a parallel statement made by the pioneer exponent of Cultural Zionism, Ahad Ha’Am (1856 – 1927): “More than the Jews have kept the Sabbath, the Sabbath has kept the Jews.” As the words of the prayer for our country conclude: “May this land…be an influence for good throughout the world, uniting all people in peace and freedom…” Amen.
Rabbi Mark Elber
Sisterhood President’s MessageAs I am sure you will all agree, October proved
to be a very busy month here at Temple Beth El. Rabbi Mark and Cantor Shoshana did an exemplary job with the High Holiday services. They were both spiritual and uplifting.
Not to be outdone by October, November is shap-ing up to be quite active too. First we have the Rud-erman Lecture and Brunch on Sunday the 6th. Then there is a very important Presidential Election on Tuesday the 8th. So please, don’t forget to cast your vote, no matter what your choice is. We are so very lucky to have that privilege, so be sure to use it.
Let us not forget Veterans Day on Friday the 11th. This is a time when we pay homage to all our Veterans. So let me say thank you to all those people who gave themselves to protect our country and the freedoms we enjoy. I think we sometimes forget the sacrifices these people and their families make so we can live as we do. Again, a big thank you for your service.
Of course we cannot forget Thanksgiving. This is a day for families and friends to get together and eat all the traditional foods. So on Thursday the 24th we will give thanks for all the best things life has afford-ed us. This also happens to be a big football day, with high school and college rivalries galore. So however you choose to celebrate, do so and enjoy.
There will be various updates throughout the month, so please watch your e-mails. Marie does an excellent job keeping us up-to-date, so make sure the office has your e-mail address.
I want to talk about our Book Club. This is a Sis-terhood Ladies activity for its members. So ladies, be prepared to start reading. A date and time will be forthcoming. Please plan to join us.
So until next month, Shalom.

President’s MessageOnce again I would like to begin my column by
thanking everyone who played a part in making our High Holidays so successful. While I don’t have the space to thank everyone by name, I would like to mention a few people we could not have done with-out. Rabbi Mark and Cantor Shoshana did a fabulous job making our services meaningful and beautiful. Andrew and Larry Polin were the driving force behind our outstanding new sound system, which added so much to the services. George Haire did everything from chopping tomatoes to building our sukkah, ar-riving early and leaving late, and keeping our build-ing running all at the same time. Sisterhood orga-nized our special meals, and Adas Israel once again sponsored our Break-Fast. Carlton Smith kept us safe. Judy and Marie kept us organized. Our ser-vices were filled with volunteers who did readings in both English and Hebrew, held torahs, opened and closed the ark and I would be remiss if I didn’t thank our master of the shofar, Bill Chebot. It may sound trite, but it really does take a village, and I am so proud to be a part of ours.
I would also like to thank Louis Gitlin for con-tinuing his father Herman’s long-standing tradition of providing us with the greens for our sukkah, and the Grimshaw-Gudiewicz Charitable Foundation for their annual donation to Temple Beth El. This year we used their donation toward the Tower Project.
Just before the holidays we had some very wel-come news. People Incorporated has let us know that they plan to continue to rent our school building beyond the current lease. As our working relation-ship with People Inc. is so strong, this is very good news indeed. We are currently working on ways to enhance our arrangement so they will want to keep their preschool here for many years to come.
I was pleased and proud to be a part of the spe-cial ”Sister Synagogue” ceremony joining the re-cently restored Sahar Hassamain in the Azores with Temple Beth El. It was a wonderful, uplifting event, and the representatives from Sahar Hassamain and Ponta Delgada were delighted to receive the custom cover we presented them with for one of their his-toric torah scrolls.
Be sure to come to the Ruderman lecture on No-vember 6th. The speaker is coming from Israel to talk about current issues there, especially religious pluralism. Thank you to the Ruderman family for sponsoring these lectures for so many years. Their generosity has truly been a lasting gift.

A Blast from the Past
Dear Rabbi Elber and Cantor Brown:
It was truly the highlight of my week in the Tiver-ton, RI area to have a chance to visit with you all at Temple Beth El, a place that holds dear memo-ries from my childhood there and which had such a profound influence on my grandparents’ life, and on my mother. When I was only 7 years old, in 1956, my father was in the Army at the Fort Eustis base in Newport News, VA. We were one of only two Jewish families on the base. As the subject of much anti-Semitic harassment in school and on the base, my parents thought it would be much safer for me to live with my grandparents, Cantor Marcus and Edith Gerlich, for the last year of his military service.
It was an amazing year for me, spending every Fri-day night, Saturday and Sunday at the Temple, as the first grandchild of my grandparents. The syna-gogue you so kindly showed me around last week was exactly like the vision of it that I have held in my memory all these years. I could picture my grandfather on the bima, chanting the service in his magnificent tenor voice.
Please thank the congregants who greeted my family and me so warmly when we showed up un-announced on Friday night, and share this CD with those who might be interested*. It was made for my mother on her 70th birthday.
I wish you all good health and happiness for the New Year. L’shanahTovah to all.

Fall River United Jewish AppealYesodot
This month’s featured charity supported by the Fall River United Jewish Appeal is Yesodot.
Yesodot provides an educational foundation for Ethiopian immigrant children resettling in Is-rael. Many have a minimal level of literacy or none at all. Most of these children come from homes with illiterate parents; many from single-parent families and all from families that struggle with the most core aspects of life in a new country.
Yesodot’s key program elements are designed to help Ethiopian children from pre-school through 12th grade. This period offers a critical opportunity for children to learn and develop skills necessary to fully participate in their new country’s main-stream educational system and in Israel’s society as a whole.
The Jewish Agency expresses its gratitude to the Fall River United Jewish Appeal for providing these new Israelis with vital intervention, helping them to advance significantly both academically and socially.
From June through the end of 2016 there will be 1,300 olim (immigrants) arriving from Ethio-pia. We turn to our generous donors at this time to help ensure our capacity to support Ethiopian-Is-raeli children so long as they live under our care.
Dear friends, fellow artists, and art lovers, I invite you to see my new paintings, created in 2016,
thanks to an artist stipend awarded by the Fall River Cultur-al Council, (part of the Massachusetts Cultural Council). The work will be on exhibit through December 15th.

Off the ShelfNow that the fall weather has finally arrived
and many of you might be inclined to stay indoors, check out a book or two from the library! There are many new ones that are just waiting to be read. There are three main display areas for the newest arrivals; the small display bookrack as you enter the library on top of the filing cabinet, the large display rack on top of the card catalogue, and the rotating book display straight ahead past the desk as you walk in.
Those of you who are interested in seeing what we have in the juvenile/YA section need only enter the former boardroom via the library door and then look to your immediate right behind the door and you will see the young readers section. True, they are not brand new, but the reading and age levels cross a wide spectrum. It is a nice idea for reading to your young grandchildren. You may even find quite a few with my name on the book card as I was always a frequent visitor to the li-brary all those years ago. Enjoy!!

Cantor Shoshana’s News & NotesDon’t miss our Rabbi Samuel and Tillie Ruder-
man Lecture and Brunch on Sunday Nov. 6th! Rabbi Uri Regev will be speaking on “Religious Pluralism in Israel – Should it Concern American Jewry?”
Save the date for our TBE Chanukah celebration (there will be further details in the December bul-letin): we will gather for Havdalah and a Chanukah party at the Rabbi’s and Cantor’s home at 5:30 PM on Sat. December 24th for the first night of Chanu-kah. Stay tuned, and start polishing your chanuki-yot (Chanukah menorahs)!
October has been a busy month: with the High Holidays, Sukkot, the Sister Synagogue ceremony, Shemini Atzeret with Yizkor, and Simchat Torah – followed by our Shabbaton with Rabbi Tsvi Bar-Da-vid at the end of the month (still in the future as I write this)…we cannot be accused of lacking Jewish stamina!
Thank you to all the many folks who have been active in so many ways to support all these pro-grams, services, and events which keep our com-munity vibrant!
The cantor’s November “Take a Hike” article for the Herald News (Nov. 6th) touts the joy and health benefits of walks in the woods – especially during the autumn. The photo to the right is from a hike in the Fall River-Freetown State Forest. Enjoy the season!
“Remember” is a 2015 Canadian-German drama thriller film directed by Atom Egoyan and written by Benjamin August. Starring Christopher Plummer, Bruno Ganz, Jürgen Prochnow, Heinz Lieven, Henry Czerny, Dean Norris, and Martin Landau, the film was theatrically released in Canada on October 23, 2015, in Germany on December 31, 2015, and in the United States by A24 on March 11, 2016.
The film, about an elderly Holocaust survivor with dementia who sets out to kill a Nazi war criminal, re-ceived many positive reviews and won a few film festival awards. At the 4th Canadian Screen Awards, August re-ceived the Award for Best Original Screenplay and the film was also nominated for Best Motion Picture.

Hello All:
I would like to share:
I view our book club as both an intellectual and social • resource outside of Temple Beth El organized events. I view us as a resource for members who may not be ac-• tive in other Temple Beth El activities. I view us as a potential welcoming outreach to those • unaffiliated. I view us as a resource for those who love to read a vari-• ety of books, even when not our personal reading choice.I view this as an opportunity to challenge myself. •
We can, as a group, decide what we read, when we will meet and share. Our goals and success are a group decision. So, let’s ALL get together for the upcoming November 16th meeting and have some constructive conversation on our future plans.
