RABBI’S MeSSAGe

Y es, it’s true, Rosh Hashanah has not arrived this early since 1975. As we know the lunar calendar falls eleven days short of our solar year. Thus we

have an extra month added to our Hebrew calendar seven times during a nineteen year cycle. So too, there are years when the holidays are early, and others when the holidays are “late.” This year we have to hurry up and start preparing for the Yamim Nora’im this very week! I would like to recount some examples of personal soul searching that occurred to me during my early rabbinic years, and how those experiences propelled me to consider how I could improve my work and my attitude towards the High Holidays. We are entering the month of Elul, which is a time of self examination and opportunity for teshuvah, a time to re-consider our ways and attitudes. As a rabbinic student in 1977, I was asked to be the student rabbi in Vermont, only two weeks before the holidays were to begin. I had to learn the chant for the Kol Nidre, learn to sound the shofar, and read a number of Torah portions. No problem, I thought. When Rosh Hashanah morning came around, I was a nervous wreck. I could sing well enough, and I knew the Torah portions, but mastering the shofar seemed very difficult. I had even taken shofar lessons from a professional trumpeter in my home town, but my notes were pretty shaky. Sometimes the tekiah happened, and more often, no sound emerged from the shofar. Well, the shofar service began and I was sweating. After trying to hit about thirty different notes, I had only produced two that sounded like something from a real shofar. I was a resounding failure, and so embarrassed. The congregants consoled me and laughed, and later said they had another member who could sound the shofar on the second day of the holiday. Why didn’t they tell me that in the first place! I recounted this disaster to my Mother, and she offered some comfort. I learned that I couldn’t do it all, and I shouldn’t be so arrogant to imagine that I could learn all these tasks in such a short period of time. To become a good shofar blower is a long process, and that task was definitely beyond my grasp. I learned to ask for help and allow others to offer their expertise to the congregation. One High Holiday season in Galveston I faced the dilemma of whether to sound the shofar on Shabbat. Of course, I called upon our Ritual committee, and asked for their ideas and historical background. One member insisted that we had to honor our Jewish tradition and NOT sound the shofar, because doing so was a form of “work” on the holiday, and this was not permissible. So I went with the opinion that we should honor “tradition”

and skip the shofar service. Little did I know what a storm I was falling into. The holiday was celebrated and at the Oneg Yom Tov, many folks came to me and asked why they had not heard the beautiful sounds of the shofar. I explained that on Shabbat, we do not sound the shofar. Congregants were very upset, and told me that this was a Reform congregation, and they had their own customs and traditions. One of our eldest members, who had her Confirmation in the late 1920’s announced, “Rabbi Henry Cohen always sounded the shofar on Rosh Hashanah, regardless of the Sabbath day or not.” At that point I knew I was in deep trouble! Rabbi Cohen had been the rabbi of the congregation for 52 years, early in the twentieth century, and he was the grandfather of all Texas rabbis. I had gone against the venerated traditions of Rabbi Cohen and the cogregation’s minhag. Boy, did I have to deal with so much criticism in the weeks after the holidays. It took awhile to calm the feathers of the Board, and those who invoked the saintly image of Rabbi Cohen. After all that, I realized that I had to re-think the importance of tradition, and learn to listen to the teachings of previous generations, who had developed their own customs and ritual practice. Simply accepting Jewish “law” and history because others said it was so was the not the best way to lead my congregation. That was quite a Holiday season, and I learned many lessons from those holy days. All of us have lived and thrived because of mistakes and faux pas which occurred at critical moments in our lives. Our time frame before Rosh Hashanah allows us to look in the mirror and take a spiritual inventory of our life in the past year. We have the chance to re-consider our choices and strive to do better, and add to our good deeds in the year ahead. I trust that each one of us will pause and review our past year, and take steps to return to our higher self, performing the mitzvah of teshuvah in the weeks ahead. I wish everyone a joyous and healthy New Year.

Shanah tovah,

PReSIDenT’S MeSSAGe

Dear Friends,

The High Holidays are upon us. Hard to believe Rosh Hashanah falls out on September 4th this year. This is about as early as it gets. I believe this happens every

1,900 years. Guess we won’t have to deal with this again...for a while, anyway.

I came across a concise explanation of the eight most important things to know about Rosh Hashanah which I share with you.

1. The Jewish New YearRosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and according to Jewish tradition marks the anniversary of the creation of the world. The phrase Rosh Hashanah literally translates to “Head of the Year.” Rosh Hashanah occurs on the first and second days of the Hebrew month of Tishri. As the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah is a celebratory holiday but there are also deeper spiritual meanings tied to the holiday.

2. Judgment DayJewish tradition teaches that Rosh Hashanah is also the Day of Judgment. On Rosh Hashanah, God is said to inscribe the fate of every person for the upcoming year in the Book of Life or the Book of Death. The verdict is not final until Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Ten Days of Awe, during which Jews reflect upon their actions over the past year and seek forgiveness for their transgressions in hopes of influencing God’s final judgment.

3. Teshuvah (Repentance) and ForgivenessThe Hebrew word for “sin” is “chet,” which is derived from an old archery term used when an archer “misses the mark.” This informs the Jewish view of sin: all people are essentially good and sin is a product of our errors, or missing the mark, as we are all imperfect. A critical part of Rosh Hashanah is making amends for these sins and seeking forgiveness.

Teshuvah (literally “returning”) is the process by which Jews atone on Rosh Hashanah and throughout the Ten Days of Awe. Jews are required to seek forgiveness from people that they may have wronged over the past year before seeking forgiveness from God. Teshuvah is a multi step process for demonstrating true repentance. When a Jew is sincere in his or her efforts at teshuvah, it is the responsibility of other Jews to offer forgiveness during the Ten Days of Awe.

4. Mitzvah of the ShofarThe essential mitzvah (commandment) of Rosh Hashanah is to hear the sounding of the shofar. The shofar is generally made from a hollowed out ram’s horn that is then blown like a trumpet on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

5. Apples and HoneyThere are many Rosh Hashanah food customs but the most common is the dipping of apples into honey, which is meant to signify our wishes for a sweet new year.6. Festive Meal (Seudat Yom Tov)A festive meal shared with family and friends to celebrate the New Year is central to the Rosh Hashanah holiday. A special round loaf of challah, which symbolizes the cycle of time, is generally served and dipped in honey with a special prayer for a sweet new year.

7. L’Shana TovahThe traditional Rosh Hashanah greeting appropriate for Jewish friends on Rosh Hashanah is L’Shana Tovah or simply Shana Tovah which loosely translates as “Happy New Year.” Literally you are wishing them a good year (see item 2 above). For a longer greeting you can use L’Shana Tovah u’Metukah, wishing someone a “good and sweet year.”

8. TashlichOn Rosh Hashanah, many Jews may follow a custom called tashlich (“casting off”) in which they walk to a naturally flowing body of water such as a river or stream, including the Santa Fe River, recite several prayers, reflect upon their sins over the past year and symbolically cast them off by throwing their sins into the water (usually by throwing pieces of bread or crackers, whether with or without gluten, into the stream).

L Shana Tovah my friends.

Sukkot translates as “Tabernacles” or the Festival of Booths, and occurs for 7 days. It is the 3rd pilgrimage festival (Passover, Shavuot, Sukkot). Like the other pilgrimage festivals, Sukkot has an agricultural element. It marks the time of the harvest, of the final ingathering of produce before winter. The most important ritual of Sukkot is “living” in the Sukkah. There is a custom of inviting ushpizin, or symbolic guests, each day to join us

It is one of the happiest days in the Jewish calendar.
