L’shanah TovahHIGH HOLY DAYS 5782

“Faithfulness and truth have embraced; justice and peace have kissed.”

A MESSAGE FROM RABBI JONATHAN BIATCH

These words from Psalm 85 come to mind as we begin this new year:

“Faithfulness and truth have embraced; justice and peace have kissed. Truth will blossom forth from the earth; justice looks down from heaven.” (Psalm 85:11–12)

I have often looked at these words—in isolation—as overly poetic and saccharine. When viewed in context, however, they present us with a mission and a challenge for the new year of 5782.

In our era, when division and invective have often been our societal currency, we as people of faith become discouraged by the base and ignoble deeds of our so-called leaders: we need to reverse this trend. Let us infuse humanity with love, caring, and dedication to strengthening the ties between us. Faithfulness, truth, justice, and peace are essential ingredients of a world free from transgression and sin.

Let us be certain, in the new year of 5782, that we each engage in positive actions to achieve these goals. May we, indeed, find healing and harmony in the year we are about to enter. May we embrace one another in this spirit.

Psalm 85 For the leader. Of the clan of Korach. A psalm. You have favored Your land, Eternal One; You have restored Jacob’s fortune; You have forgiven Your people’s iniquity, and have pardoned all their sins: Selah [a musical direction denoting, likely, a pause]. You have withdrawn all Your anger; turned away from Your rage. So turn us back, O God, our helper; cancel Your displeasure with us. Will You be angry with us forever, prolonging Your wrath for all generations? No, for You will revive us again, so that Your people may rejoice in You. Show us Your faithfulness, Eternal God; grant us Your deliverance. Let us hear what the Eternal God will offer: peace and well-being to the people and to those who are faithful; let them not turn to folly. God’s help is near to those of faith, as divine honor dwells in our land. Faithfulness and truth have met; justice and peace have kissed. Truth will blossom forth from the earth; justice looks down from heaven. The Eternal will bestow goodness, and our land will give forth in abundance. Justice will precede God; God has placed [righteousness] as stepping-stones along the way.

Preparing for the High Holy Day season brings some normalcy to a time when the definition of what is “normal” continues to change. In the past we have worshipped as a community in person at TBE. Last year, we worshipped virtually from the safety of our homes. This year, we are thankful to worship as a community both in person at Temple Beth El and virtually from wherever our members and others joining us are spending these holidays. In addition to fusing these two experiences for our community, there are other changes to this year’s High Holy Day worship:

• Whether you are joining us in person or viewing from home, you will notice that our sanctu-ary and social hall have been renovated. In addition to aesthetic changes, the renovations provide better sound for those needing assisted-listening devices. Cameras mounted in our sanctuary offer optimal views for those watching at home, and a large screen on our bimah allows everyone to see the visual t’filah and videos that enhance our worship. The most obvious change to our sanctuary is the addition of new chairs that have replaced the pews.

• Our chairs are placed to ensure adequate and safe spacing between household seating. Feel free to move the chairs within the rows so you can sit closer to your loved ones. Please do not move the chairs from the rows they are in or into any aisles.

IF YOU ARE ATTENDING IN PERSON, PLEASE FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

• Masks are required for anyone over the age of two for all indoor in-person gatherings.

• When possible, we encourage you to practice social distancing.

• Please be honest about your personal needs and be respectful of the needs and preferences of others in our congregation.

IF YOU ARE WORSHIPPING WITH US AT HOME:

• To view our High Holy Day worship online, please refer to your email for the link to our livestream.

• You can follow along with the text on screen. However, if you wish to follow along in the machzor (High Holy Day prayer book), please use these links:

• For Rosh Hashanah: ccarnet.org/publications/hhd/#dflip-df_10067/1/

• For Yom Kippur: ccarnet.org/publications/hhd/#dflip-df_10069/1/

It has been an honor to plan this year’s High Holy Day worship experience for the Temple Beth El community. We’re grateful for your presence, no matter how you join us for worship. We wish everyone a healthy, sweet, and happy new year.

Shanah Tovah,

We, the impoverished and weak, are trembling and afraid to stand before our community and ourselves, trying to answer the call to t’shuvah, repentance. We know that repentance is complicated, and difficult. Yet, at this season of reconciliation, we yearn to become better than we have been, for we humans possess the great ability to atone, and to return to righteous ways of living.

A CONGREGATIONAL HIN’NI Hin’ni is a prayer of great humility. Offered by the cantor near the inauguration of our worship, it petitions God to accept the leader’s entreaties on behalf of the congregation even if the prayers themselves are less than perfect. Eschewing pride and embracing a sense of resolute commitment, the cantor says, “Although unworthy, I rise to pray and seek favor for Your people Israel, for they have entrusted me with this task.” This year, as a response to the humble words of the cantor, we invite the congregation to offer similar hopes for their own words of repentance and forgiveness. A translation of the cantor’s Hin’ni can be found on pages 17 and 18 of the Rosh Hashanah volume of Mishkan HaNefesh.

Excerpt 4:

Each year we resolve to mend our ways, but do not always succeed. Our confessions of wrongdoing do not come easily to our mouths. Our pride is as tall as the mountains, our vanity is as wide as the sea, and excuses abound. We travel aimlessly through our lives, subject to the wayward tides of the world, and we neglect those people and matters closest to us.

Excerpt 4:

But to ourselves there are no secrets. We know our faults, but cannot or will not acknowledge all of them. Therefore, open our hearts to the call of this sacred season, so that the words of our prayers may serve to renew us and refine us. May we realize the humble strength to say to another person, “I am sorry.” And may our deeds of goodness—in the year to come—make us worthy to hear the divine assurance of “salachti”—“I have forgiven.”

THE PLACE WHERE WE LIVE AND WORSHIP: NATIVE AMERICAN LIFE ALONG THE SHORES OF LAKE WINGRASunday, October 17, 9:30–11:30 am • Vilas ParkThe Four Lakes (DeJope) area was once a thriving Ho-Chunk community, and the area around Temple Beth El was important for fishing, foraging, and mound-building. To better understand the history of the land and to appreciate the people who pre-ceded us here, the Social Action Committee is offering a walking tour of the area led by Amy Rosebrough, staff archaeologist at the Wisconsin Historical Society.

SWARSENSKY MEMORIAL WEEKENDFriday, November 12–Sunday, November 14SWARSENSKY MEMORIAL WEEKEND SHABBATFriday, November 12, 7:30 pmRabbi Mark Sameth, our Swarsensky scholar for 2021, will offer a lively sermon, enti-tled “A History of the Dual-Gendered Hebrew Name for God,” about the archaeo-logical record and written evidence in support of the claim that the ancient Israelite priests understood the four-letter Hebrew name of God YHWH to signify a dual-gen-dered deity. Rabbi Sameth will walk us through the timeline of what was known, by whom, and when—a historical record, laying the groundwork for the weekend of learning to come. Appropriate for all ages.

TORAH STUDY WITH RABBI MARK SAMETHSaturday, November 13, 10:00–11:15 amRabbi Mark Sameth will lead this week’s Torah Study with a deep dive into Parashat Vayeitzei, looking at the text through the lens of dual gender.

BRUNCH AND KEYNOTE: SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS OF THE DUAL-GENDERED NAME OF GODSunday, November 14, 9:45 am–12:00 pmConcluding our weekend of learning, Rabbi Mark Sameth will speak on the social justice implications of the dual-gendered name of God, including support for gender equality, feminism, and LGBTQ, interfaith, multicultural, and intersectional identities. His talk will be followed by Q&A, giving us a chance to discuss together how we might best put this learning to use in the furtherance of tikkun olam.

SOCIAL ACTION INITIATIVESHigh Holy Day Food Drive

Yom Kippur involves fasting for one day, yet millions of Americans feel this hunger regularly. Every year at Rosh Hashanah, we ask the congregation to remember those in our community without enough food by making a monetary contribution to support hunger relief initiatives.

The funds from this year’s food drive will go primarily to Second Harvest Foodbank, which distributes millions of pounds of food each year in southern Wisconsin. The funds will also support our hunger relief efforts through community partners such as food pantries, community centers, and schools.

We hope you will be able to give generously to support these hunger relief initiatives. Any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Please mail checks to the Temple office using the envelope your received in your August Bulle-tin. Additional envelopes are available upon request. Please make checks payable to Temple Beth El and include “Food Drive” on the memo line. You may also make your donation online at tbemadison.org/donate (choose “High Holy Day Food Drive” as the payment type).

New Environment and Climate Change Action Team

The Social Action Committee has a new action team devoted to environmental and climate change issues. We seek to fulfill the Jewish imperative of tikkun olam by encouraging environ-mental stewardship within the congregation and in the community. We’ve planned bike rides to support and learn about our lakes. We’re showcasing the efforts of Temple members to be good stewards of the earth in the Social Justice Spotlight, and we’re joining with the Men’s Club and Sisterhood to read We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast for a discussion on November 16. We’re also planning a Social Action Shabbat centered around caring for our planet in our daily lives.

We’re looking for new members and new ideas for what to do next. If you’re interested, please contact Marta Karlov (mokarlov2@gmail.com) for more information. For questions about any of our social action initiatives, contact Aleeza A. Hoffert (engage@tbemadison.org).

Lake Wingra History Walk

The Four Lakes area was once a thriving Ho-Chunk community, and the area around Temple Beth El was important for fishing, foraging, and mound-building. To understand the history of the land and appreciate the people who preceded us here, the Social Action Committee is offering a walking tour of the area led by Amy Rosebrough, staff archaeologist at the Wisconsin Historical Society. Please join us on Sunday morning, October 17, at 9:30 am as we walk from Vilas Park to Temple Beth El, learning how the Ho-Chunk people lived. We are planning a relat-ed educational program for later in the fall or winter.
