ezra-habonim, the niles township jewish congregation...from your people israel … and comes to pray...

eptsgg

Dear Friends, We have been experiencing a wonderful example of textual convergence, as both the weekly Torah portions and our readings in the Land Beyond Torah class describe our people’s most holy building projects. On recent Shabbat mornings, we have been reading about the building of the Mishkan, the portable sanctuary our biblical forebears constructed in the desert. Meanwhile in Land Beyond Torah (Thursdays, 11 am) we have been reading about the construction of the Beit ha’Mikdash, Solomon’s Holy Temple. A harmonic convergence! When Solomon dedicates the Temple, he prays it will be a locus not merely for the prayers of the Israelites, but of all people. With hands outstretched and palms facing upward, he declares, “And also to the foreigner, who is not from Your people Israel … and comes to pray toward this House, may You hearken in the heavens … so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name” (1 Kings 8:41-43). The word Solomon uses for “foreigner” is nochri, a non-Israelite. The prophet Isaiah, centuries later, expresses a similar sentiment. Using the same Hebrew word, he speaks of those foreigners as “joining with the Lord” and holding fast to the covenant. “I will bring them to My holy mountain and let them rejoice in My house of prayer…for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples” (Isaiah 56:6-7). Many commentators reasonably assume that Isaiah is referring to proselytes who have converted into the religion of Israel. In either case, the Holy Temple is meant to be an open place. Much of our sacred literature is clear about this. God, abiding in that holy space, may accept any human being’s sincere prayer. Houses of worship ought to be willing to embrace … anyone. Regardless of one’s background, the synagogue should be a house, a home, a sanctuary, and a community for all. Let this be our goal. May EHNTJC – our holy place – be known as a positive place, an accepting home, where all sincere prayers are appreciated and where love for all abides. L’Shalom, Rabbi Jeffrey Weill

Presidents Message, Crafting Our Future

Knowing where we are going is critical to reaching our destination, and using a map can be helpful. Strategic planning provides a map for organizations such as our synagogue seeking to identify their future destination. Strategic planning is also about caring. It provides a structure and a process for those who care about the future directions. A strategic plan is designed to help organizations thrive as they confront future challenges. Planning helps position an organization by identifying and then mapping the implementation of strategic initiatives.

Strategic planning for Jewish communal organizations has its own unique characteristics. The common planning initiatives that emerged in the strategic plans for synagogues has included:

• expanding programs to all age groups • communicating more effectively with the membership • streamlining a cumbersome or ineffective governance structure, restructuring outmoded organizational

structures and processes • strengthening ritual and worship services • promoting membership development and improved relations

For our community initial planning has centered on three distinct areas:

Financial Stability – developing new funds, including reserves and support of key services

Membership – retain our current members while attracting new members

Sustainability – Strengthen and stabilize our community and prepare for a new and exciting future

Your executive leadership and board of trustees have been hard at work bringing you the programs you know and love in addition to new and exciting additions that we hope you will embrace.

Why Don’t Jews Believe in Jesus? Presented by Rabbi Barry Friedman
