We spend time each year in northern New England. It is a beautiful part of this country − ancient, filled with history, quaint. New Englanders are special people. Some think them unfriendly. Certainly, they are exceedingly private and typically not loquacious. They might express a thought or a sentiment in two or three words, a single sentence, what others might say in paragraphs. I am a New Englander. I remember that when I first ventured into the south, I was amazed at how southerners seemed to say in a thousand words what we in New England would express in a single phrase. “Yup,” often serves the purpose. So when a local New Hampshire proprietor of a general store responded to my attempt to make conversation about the rain (when I asked the rather silly question,”Do you think it is ever going to stop raining?”) with “Always does,” I should not have been surprised − just a bit intimidated.The poet of New England, of course, is Robert Frost. He loved the countryside and the people. Rather astonishingly, Robert Frost never went to college. He could have been a student at Harvard and he did spend three months at Dartmouth, but writing was his love and he did that at an early age. It took some

twenty years before he became known, and then it only happened while he was in England. He and his family lived in England for a while. There, it was suggested that he publish his poetry. The English did what the Americans would not do. His book and his work immediately were given praise there, and as a result, met with applause here. He returned to the states somewhat of a hero. He finally was recognized for what he was − poet philosopher. Above my desk in my study at home is a framed passage from one of my favorite Robert Frost poems. You may know it.

The Road Not TakenTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claimBecause it was grassy and wanted wear,Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to wayI doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

This congregation was founded to travel a road not previously taken, and thus to make a dif-ference in the lives of people of this community. Its name, Beth El, most likely was selected not without purpose. Its origin is in a biblical story. Jacob, you will remember, is guilty of stealing the birthright from his older brother Esau. Jacob flees from his parental home and lives in constant fear that Esau will find him and take revenge. One evening, on his travels from Beersheba in what now is southern Israel, he falls asleep and dreams that a ladder is reaching to the heavens, and that angels are ascending and descending on the lad-der. Even more striking, the god in whom Jacob believes, is standing beside him on the ladder. Jacob’s god promises him that he will bring him back to this land, and more important, that he will protect him. When Jacob awakens he is great-ly shaken. He believes that something very special has happened, and he names the place Beth El, the House of El, Beit El, the House of God. Beth El became a major sanctuary in the northern king-dom of Israel.

So I welcome you into this beit el on this Rosh Hashanah 5774, having been here twelve years ago under very different circumstances. Rosh Hashanah that year was seven days after September 11. It was a time when very few did not want to be here. The enormity of the tragedy and the sense of American community brought us all here, to a place of comfort, and perhaps, safety. Change of staff did not matter. The temple was here – it was open. As Jacob had realized, it was a place of awe, a place in which sanctity dwelled. It was, and is, here that the Jew would survive.

What does it mean to be a beit el – a sacred Jewish space? As little boy, I went off to Hebrew School to begin what became a lifelong study.

That Hebrew School was orthodox. Most of the other students did not want to be there. My images are classic. Students rolled pennies down the aisle and did everything imaginable to mock the teacher and the message he was trying to convey. My level of understanding was sufficient to realize that his knowledge and the heritage he had studied meant little to those young people before whom he stood. He was a small, kind man. His knowledge of text, as I later learned, was overwhelming. This humble, orthodox gentleman, who could read and discuss Talmud, who had studied Maimonides,who innately knew Hebrew grammar better than any teacher I ever met, was teaching the aleph-bet, beginning Hebrew reading, to students who did not want to learn. In later years, when I studied with him privately, and came to admire the extent of his learning, I asked him why he continued to teach at that low level to such difficult and ungrateful young people. “Who,” he responded, “will teach them? Someone who knows little and has no love of tra-dition? Who will try to make certain that they and their children will be Jewish? In so many countries for so many centuries we were not allowed to teach and study freely and we yearned to do so. Now we are free – free to teach, free to learn, free to be the Jewish community of which we could only dream just a couple of centuries ago.”

The voice on the other end of the phone said: My children have celebrated their bar and bat mitzvah. Why should I remain a member? We have taken from the congregation all we wanted.“Oh,” I wanted to say, “but your children read the section in the service which follows the shema– ‘and you shall teach them to your children. You shall teach them when you are home and when you are away. You shall impress upon your children the value of being Jewish.’ What is it that you are teaching to your children? What is the message? You shall teach that it is OK to buy a few years of religious school, learn about what is the equivalent of a first grade education in hours spent here, and, with integrity, read in the service ‘and you shall teach them unto your children’? Is that what you are doing? Is that what you want us to do?”

Learning, study – that always has been at the very heart of keeping Jewish life alive. It is not about an occasional ceremony; it is about who we are as a beit el – a place of study, a place of learning, a place of passing on commitment, a place in which the symbol of the Torah means something special, a place in which reading from that Torah is a source of pride because it is uniquely ours.

Another voice was similarly disheartening: I come only once or twice a year. Why should I continue to pay for such minimal use? The purchase price is too high. You are right – the purchase price is high. To be a Jew, the purchase price always has been high. The price was high in Auschwitz and Birke-nau and Treblinka and Buchenwald. The price was high in fifteenth century Spain. The price was high for refusniks in the Soviet Union. The price is high in modern Israel. You are right – the price is high. What is it worth to make certain that Jewish life lives and thrives? What is it worth to keep us safe and secure in whom we are? What is it worth to make certain that the synagogue, as an institution, is there − not only for us, but also for future gen-erations? It is the synagogue, after all, that is the guarantor of Jewish survival in this country, and, perhaps, outside of Israel, in the world. Without a beit el, where will there be a Rosh Hashanah service next year? Without a beit el, what and who will care for my life cycle events? Who will marry my chil-dren if there are no rabbis, because rabbinic schools have disappeared as a result of no synagogues to support them? Who will officiate at funerals? What will happen to Jewish life in America? It often is said that this is a house of prayer. For many that may be true, but it is possible to pray anywhere. I will tell you a secret – coming from a rabbi who has served in major congregations – I do not come here primarily to pray. I come here to connect with my Jewishness. I come here to find my Jewish roots. I come here to survive as a Jew.

A third conversation caught my attention. What might be my mitzvah for my upcoming bar or bat mitzvah? The congregation requires a child to have a mitzvah project. What a wonderful idea. Each young person must find some means of actually carrying out our strong belief that we help take care of the people around us. We do that each year when we collect food during the High Holy Days for the hungry and the needy. I was struck by the fact that we, the beit el, are preserving for these families the memory of what we as Jews have long been taught we should be doing. Have you read The Giver? It is dystopian literature, a genre of writing that speaks of a futuristic world, a world after the chaos. At some point in that society of The Giver, all historic community memory was erased. Only the giver and the receiver retained that memory. Without memory, there is no pain − if you cannot remember physical pain, you might as well not have experienced it. If you cannot remember the events that hurt you, then you are not plagued by grief or regret. Giving up memories of their collective

experience not only allowed them to forget all of the pain that had been suffered throughout human history, it also prevented members of the society from wanting to engage in activities and relation-ships that could result in conflict and suffering. It eliminated any nostalgia for the things the community gave up in order to live in total peace and harmony.

But without memory, there is no love and there is no real caring. We Jews are all about memory. We remember all the evils that have beset us, but we remember them with purpose. Every Passover we remember that we were slaves in the land of Egypt. We use that memory to motivate us to do good – to make certain that others do not suffer the pain of slavery in any form. When this beit el discusses a mitzvah project, it is keeping alive the memory of who we are. It is reminding every young person and every family that we are a people who long ago made a promise – a covenantal promise – that we would take care of the widow and the stranger and the orphan and the needy. We are a people of memory. That is who we are; and it is the synagogue − the beit el − that is the repository of that memory.

Robert Frost’s poetry applies to us. We are a people who has taken the road less travelled and that has made all the difference. We have travelled so many roads not taken. Those roads are like a trilogy of many works of literature. In tradition, it is repre-sented by the stories of the three patriarchs. Jacob is said to be the scholar, spending much time in study. Isaac was capable of self-sacrifice, willing to offer himself if called upon. And Abraham showed kindness, welcoming the stranger into his tent.In literature it is listed as the three pillars of Jewish life – torah, avodah and g’milut chasadim − Jewish learning, work or prayer, and good deeds. Whichever metaphor you might choose, the message is the same – to be a Jew is to understand that our survival is not automatic – we always have had to work at it. It comes with a price. Compla-cency is potentially fatal.

So, in this post-holocaust and modern Israel world, we no longer can rely on either historical event − the despair of the gas chambers or the exhilaration of seeing the breathtaking beauty of Jerusalem tucked in the Judean hills − to sustain American Jewish life. It is right that our survival not be dependent either on suffering or its memo-ry, or the vicarious fulfillment of another person’s joy. We need something deeper, more enduring. That something is the vision of the road not taken, a vision found in this sacred space, in this beit el.

MAURA H. LINZER, RABBI-EDUCATOR/RELIGIOUS SCHOOL

This month’s Religious School Jewish Value is Selichah, forgiveness. It has been taught that forgiveness involves three parts—asking for forgiveness, regretting engaging in the action, and committing to never doing it again. You might wonder why it is that Selichah was chosen as the value for the

month of October, the month after Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is our hope that revisiting this value would help our students pause and reflect on how they are doing on the third portion, avoid-ing repeating the same negative behavior for which they atoned during the High Holidays. As the tem-perature drops and the leaves begin to change, it is a wonderful time to speak with your children about how they are doing at reaching their goals for the New Year.

Our Religious School has been busy reaching toward our new goals. We kicked off our first few weeks with much excitement—welcoming a K/1 class of twenty-five students, which required us to hire two new K/1 teachers and two classroom aides, an inaugural class of Madricim, post-B’nai Mitzvah volunteer classroom assistants, a new and engaging 8th and 9th Grade curriculum overseen

by Toba Strauss, our rabbinic-education intern from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, a new structure for class involvement in our first Friday Family Shabbat services, the ad-dition of a trope class for some seventh graders taught by our talented cantor, Star Trompeter, and the beginning of “Rosh Chodesh: It’s a Girl Thing,” an informal Jewish learning program for our eighth grade young women to build self-esteem, led by our new Youth Group Coordinator, Joni Gehebe Kellog. We also implemented a new philosophy of Hebrew education, a school-wide discipline policy, a parent handbook and a new rigorous Hebrew program for grades three through six. In addition to the many exciting programs planned by our senior and ju-nior youth groups, the senior youth group has been busy planning to make over the youth lounge and the junior youth group has organized pre-religious school activities, such as basketball and a study lounge for grades five and six on Mondays and Thursdays.

While there is always room to grow and improve, there is much excitement in the air about the future of our program. None of these innovative changes would be possible in such a short time if it was not for our committed leadership. We thank them for their continued support and leadership as we work together to build the future of our program.

In examining what makes for a successful life, researchers increasingly cite taking risks, failing, resiliency and executive function. Brain research and child development research increasingly support good early childhood practices as the way to promote successful education for children, regardless of socio-economic background. Unfor-tunately, this knowledge has not filtered down to legislators who increasingly promote high-stakes testing. During the years birth to age six, the brain is most receptive to forming new synapses.

This is not to say that learning stops at age six – not at all. Learning continues all the way through old age. Our children will experiment, explore and pursue that which they have interest. The more varied the experiences within the structure of school the more logical their thinking becomes. And spilling paint, juice, water, the snack, knocking over buildings is all part of this growth. We all need to clean up our messes! In October when your child makes a mess, teach him/her to clean it up.

“There is a major disconnect between schools and the real world on the notion of fail-ure. School teaches us there is only one answer for every problem. And if we don’t get it, we are a failure. This dis-suades students from trying — they fear failure. We need to teach students how to

make friends with failure.

Failure is hard for everyone, but interestingly, it’s particularly hard for high-achieving students. They don’t know how to deal with this unfamiliar territo-ry. It kills their spirit because their performance is so linked to their self-esteem.

We need to give our children more opportunities to build a relationship with failure. In my estimation, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education is a key way to do it. In STEM, failure is a fact of life. Experiments don’t work out, the data doesn’t look right, or someone knocks over your experiment.” Edutopia article, “Making Friends with Failure.” Ainissa Ramirez

WE ARE AN INCLUSIVE CONGREGATION

Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester welcomes all who wish to participate in Jewish life – singles, cou-ples and families in all their forms, gays, lesbians, interfaith couples – all people regardless of age, sexual orientation, or financial means.

The synagogue is a kehilah kedoshah – a sacred community. It’s like a sukkah. A sukkah is con-structed of many different branches woven togeth-er. So is the synagogue: the young and the old, the rich and the poor, the married and the unmarried, single parents, grandparents, gays and heterosexu-als, non-Jewish spouses. The broader the sukkah’s reach, the more tightly its branches are woven, the stronger it stands. So too the synagogue: the greater the variety of people welcomed within it, the closer they feel to one another, the stronger the temple stands.

Submissions should be e-mailed to bulletin@bethelnw.org.Deadlines are the 5th of the month prior to the month of issue: September, October, November, December/January, February/March, April, May and June.
