PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Rituals are at the core of our Jewish lives and define the special moments in time that make us Jewish. A Jewish wedding would not be complete without the breaking of a glass, and lighting candles and saying Kiddush magically transforms an ordinary evening into Shabbat. Our rituals touch our souls in a way that words cannot; try verbalizing how you feel when

you hear the shofar on Rosh Hashanah.

Intellectually, when we examine our history, even our recent history, we understand that our rituals are constantly changing. My sisters were not called to the Torah at their "Bat Mitzvah", instead they gave a short d'var Torah at Friday night services, we had some cake, and that was it in it's entirety. I don't think any of us would like to go back to those days! Yet emotionally, because rituals are so much a part of who we are, any attempt at changing our rituals is usually met with immediate resistance.

When I was a young child, part of the excitement of the High Holy Days was participating in the ritual referred to as "duchening", with my father. Duchening is when the Kohanim bless the congregation by chanting the Priestly Blessing from the bimah, their heads covered with their tallisim and their arms stretched upwards, fingers spread apart. Few Conservative synagogues engage in this ritual now. I assume the reason it was discontinued was because both the Rabbis and congregants felt that it no longer provided a meaningful spiritual boost to the High Holy Day Service. Two years ago, we at Temple Beth El instituted a new Yom Kippur ritual. At the Neilah Service, families are invited to come forward on to the bimah and take as much time as they need in front of the open ark to make a personal prayer. Many congregants have told me that this has been the most uplifting spiritual experience of their lives.

New rituals are added and old rituals fall into disuse as each generation of Jews tries to find it's own voice in meeting their spiritual needs. Last October a large delegation of Temple Beth El members attended the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism Centennial Convention. There were 5 different Shabbat Services presented at the convention ranging from a Carlebach Service, to a fully instrumental musical service, to the deeply spiritual service created by Rabbi David Ingber of the Romemu Synagogue in NYC. Each one was a valid interpretation of a Conservative Jewish service.

At Temple Beth El we understand the need for ritual stability and undertake ritual change with much thought and respect for our traditions, yet we also strive to meet the diverse needs of our congregation by experimenting as well. This past summer our clergy created a "Healing Service"', a more meditative, spiritual service in response to requests by congregants. And this year, knowing that the music of the High Holy Days is critical to setting the appropriate mood, our Hazzan has been working with the Penfield Symphony Orchestra to bring us a new take on Selichot Services, our warm up for the High Holy Days .

Ritual, by its repetitive nature, can easily become rote and meaningless. It must be approached with an open heart and an open mind to be meaningful. I invite all of you to be a part of this grand experiment. Experience all that Temple Beth El has to offer and then let us know what works for you and your family.

May the coming year bring health and peace to each of you and the entire people of Israel.

L'Shanah Tovah, Dan Glowinsky President [email protected]

FROM THE DESK OF THE SENIOR RABBI

High Holy Day Suggestion

The problem of these High Holy Days fast approaching is how shall we deal with the phenomenon of guilt? Scripture

declares that there is no person on earth who is so righteous that he/she can say they have not transgressed. People who

have never looked deeply at themselves may sometimes seem, in their own eyes, as wholly virtuous, but this is an

illusion and a tribute to their own myopia. All mortals cross the boundary which separates right from wrong, and guilt is a condition

from which none of us is free. It produces self-resentment and a mood of depression. We bear it in a sullen silence and we try as we

can to put it out of our minds and hearts.

The Jewish Tradition has a positive therapy by which guilt can be overcome. Instead of being a minus in our lives, which drags us

down, Judaism offers a promise that guilt, properly faced and creatively encountered, can become a force for good. Through

stumbling a child learns to walk. Thus, our guilt can go through a similar transformation.

The Power of Teshuvah

The Hebrew word for the transformation of guilt from a minus to a plus is “teshuvah.” Teshuvah has been variously translated and

interpreted. Martin Buber calls Teshuvah a turning, by which he means a turning away from evil toward good. It is my view that

Teshuvah, at its best, is much deeper than that. It is not only a turning away from evil, it is a turning of evil itself into a force for

good. Is this not what our Tradition meant when it declared “Gedola Koach Shel Teshuvah Shezdonot Naasim Lo Kizechuot.”

“Teshuvah can be so mighty that the most willful of transgressions can be transformed into merits.”

This insight presents us not with a great burden of guilt, but rather with a profound challenge to channel evil into good.

In the liturgy of Yom Kippur, we read a list of forty-four “al chet”-“for the sins we have committed before You.” If many of them

apply to us, if the number is high, we are, in a sense, fortunate because Teshuvah will enable us to turn our sins into merits. We are not to become depressed by the list of “al chet.” The more of them that apply to us, the greater our capacity for merit, the larger our

potential for more achievement, if we do Teshuvah.

Inner Peace.

Most of life is not lived in a state of spiritual elevation or down below hidden places. Our lives are usually in between. We seem to enjoy the peaks more than the valleys and many of us would do anything to avoid the valleys. However, the tranquility of spirit we

want to achieve especially in this season, is not found in either extreme. Inner peace is one of hidden themes of the High Holy Day

season. Tranquility of the soul is a direct result of that process we call teshuvah (repentance.) Entering the synagogue during this

time of the year, means to unconsciously reach within us and retrieve a sense of inner peace. And though years pass quickly, we

change, others also change. We still look for shalvah (tranquility) as a precious commodity. Even when we talk and have our local

neighborhood conversations in shul, we do it with the intention of learning about others or letting others know what has really changed in our lives. In doing so we attain a measure of inner peace.

A Story: "Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev once saw a person running to work, looking neither right or left. Why are you in such a hurry?

He asked. I am pursuing my livelihood, came the response. So Levi Yitzchak continued, and how do you know that your livelihood

is in front of you, where you can catch up with it? Maybe it's behind you, and you only need to stand still."

I would like to suggest we perform our soul search with the purpose of recognizing the series of drives that pull our behavior.

Sometimes we will have to permit our drives to propel us and sometimes we will need to regain control.

Let this year the simple rituals of lighting candles, making Kiddush, singing High Holy Day melodies, listening to the Shofar, fasting,

and asking for forgiveness, be the instruments to reach that tranquility of the spirit. Let us not forget that the essential core of that

tranquility is what generates the power to invite the Shechinah, God's indwelling presence on earth, to be a part of our lives. Wrap

yourself and wrap your family with the symbols and rituals of these Yamim Noraim, and tranquility of spirit will soon follow.

May you and your family have spiritually uplifting High Holy Days experiences at Temple Beth El, where the tranquility of spirit will

permeate your daily life.

To all of you, from Silvana, Ethan, Lara and myself a year of achievement and satisfaction, health and peace in Israel, joy and love.

L’Shanah Tovah Tikatevu

Rabbi Leonardo A. Bitran

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL CORNER As the long days of summer dwindle and give way to the shorter days of fall, Temple Beth El’s school building is filled with excitement in preparation for the new school year to begin. Our first day of religious school classes will be Sunday, September 7. We are fortunate to have a wonderful staff of teachers for what promises to be a year filled with memorable experiences and meaningful learning.

Over the course of the next year or so, the Education Committee will be leading our school and congregation in the important work of reimagining our school. We will be identifying the priorities we have for our children’s Jewish education and redesigning our school program and curriculum to meet those priorities. Some changes are already being made to the school program: the focus of the Hebrew curriculum this year will emphasize prayer, Hebrew and reading proficiency. Students of a variety of ages will get an opportunity to study with Rabbi Bitran. Hazzan Leubitz will be teaching Torah and Haftorah trope to our 5th and 6th grade classes. Koolanu (our teen education program) is offering different types of classes, and family programs will be offered throughout the year, just to name a few. There are two quotes that generally guide my approach to Jewish education. “Only learning that is enjoyed will be well learned” (Rabbi Yehudah Hanassi) and “Learning is great because learning leads to doing” (Talmud Bavli Kiddushim 40b). The school that we work together to build will be one that is designed to inspire our students to be proud of their Judaism and give them the tools and experiences that allow them to become meaningful participants in the community. I look forward to working with our Education Committee, parents, teachers, students and congregation in reimagining our religious school. L’Shannah Tovah, Samara Sofian Josh, Nadav, Ziva, Orly and I wish you and your family a happy, healthy New Year!

We are truly excited about this year’s Selichot Service on Saturday evening, September 20th. Of the many times that I have prepared this introductory service of the High Holy Day season, this should prove to be one of the most spiritual and musically satisfying. Rabbi Bitran and I are looking forward to greeting you on that evening.

First, allow me to share with you how challenging it is to blend the liturgy of Selichot with the exquisite sounds of a full orchestra, string quartet and vocal chamber ensemble. We are indebted to Jon Allentoff for many of the musical

arrangements. To be sure, one of the many considerations when planning such a service is that of ensuring that the “performance quotient” of the evening be kept to an absolute minimum. The experience should ultimately be one of prayer, of reflection, and of penitence. To that end, I plan to have the orchestra, under the direction of Dr. David Harman, open with a classical piece after which we will continue with many of our familiar High Holy Day melodies. The vocal chamber ensemble together with a string quartet will join you and me in those settings. Towards the end of the service, Dr. Jeremy Grace will present Bruch’s Kol Nidre. Although Kol Nidre is not a part of the Selichot service itself, I know that it will help focus everyone on the message of the season. And speaking of Kol Nidre, for the first time in several years, we will have the same chamber choir join me in chanting the liturgy on Kol Nidre evening with many of the same Selihot melodies. Please note that both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur mornings as well as the Neilah services will continue to not utilize the choir.

The Selichot evening will begin at 7:30 pm with the Shabbat Mincha service. At 8:00 we will join in Seudah Sh’leesheet, the 3rd Shabbat meal. We then will come together for Ma’ariv, the evening service, and Havdalah, as we say farewell to Shabbat. The actual Selichot Service will begin at 9:15 and end at 10:30, at which time we will dedicate our memorial plaques. A wonderful champagne reception will follow and conclude the evening.

We need your attendance to help make this a unique experience at Temple Beth El! Please mark your calendars and please bring your family and friends as we set the mood for the Holy Days. This event is free and open to the public. As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Finally, I am looking forward to this next year with great anticipation as we continue to present some of your favorite services, including Friday Night Live and Friday Night Jazz, featuring Mr. Gap Mangione. In addition, I hope you will watch your mail and this column for announcements of adult study sessions.

Lisa and I wish you ‘Shanah tovah u’metukah!’….a good and sweet year….one of good health, fulfillment, and peace.

B’Shalom Hazzan Martin Leubitz

Hazak Bus Trip ‘Jewish Rochester the Way it Was’ held July 27, 2014 by Henra Briskin & Miriam Gross

On Sunday, July 27, fifty eager participants boarded a bus to tour Jewish Rochester. We were ably led by native born Rochesterians

Sheila Weinbach, who organized the trip and provided the snacks and written materials, and Phyllis Kasdin, who provided excellent

narration.

We were treated to many scenes and sights of the past and the present. Sadly, in the 1950's so many shops, businesses and

synagogues were torn down and neighborhoods completely changed or destroyed. Hearing the childhood memories of our fellow

passengers helped us remember what life was like many years ago.

Our bus stopped for tours at the Beth Hatvillah Mikvah (next to Beth Hakneses HaChodosh synagogue on St Regis Drive) and

Congregation Light of Israel (Monroe Avenue).

Brief stops included the old JY, (currently Harro's East), Congregation Beth Israel on Leopold St and the B'nai Israel Ahavat Achim

shul on Joseph Avenue.

At the B'nai Israel Ahavat Achim shul, we were met by Neil Scheier, who described the exciting plans to convert the shul into a

museum of Rochester immigrant history and religion. The building is located directly across from where the Quality bakery building

once stood. Aubey Dankner gave a history of Quality bakery from the time his family bought it from the original owners.

Truly a good time was had by all. We enjoyed a trip down memory lane, took a look at our current vibrant Jewish community and

glimpsed the future.
