Rev. Dr. Jane A Clark

Fall activities at St. An-drew Parish are in full swing. The Blessing of the Animals is Sunday, Oct 2 at 2pm outside on the Park St. lawn/driveway. Rain option is the Parish Hall. This special opportunity to bless God’s creatures that give us so much comfort is one of my favorite services in the year. If you don’t think your animal will take kindly to other animals bring a picture and I will gladly bless the

animal “long distance.”

This month the educa-tional offering “Getting your Ducks in a Row” will be held twice, both in a new format for me. I’m trying it out so will look for your feed-back. This will be a

“Lunch and Learn” for-mat from 12 - 2pm on Saturday October 22 and repeated at the same time Monday Oc-tober 24. Bring a sack lunch and I’ll provide drinks and a dessert and we will discuss health care power of attorney, the “5 wishes” and review a format for planning what you want done and what kind of service you want at your passing. This is for all ages—not just seniors and it’s a wonderful gift to your loved ones. I’ll even make a couple of extra copies for you to give

to your family.

We are planning an-other Advent book se-ries – we will explore “The Journey” by DVD and reading. Meeting dates will be Monday evenings 6:30- 7:45pm on 11/21, 11/28, 12/5, 12/13 (Tuesday due to Vestry), and 12/19.

Church Chat – Jewish High Holy Days

In the fall our Jewish neigh-bors have several holy days and festivals. Two that fall in October this year we hear about but don’t always under-stand what is being celebrated. So in this month’s Church Chat we are going to talk a bit about Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. So what is Rosh Hashanah and how is it celebrated? This year Rosh Hashanah is observed 2 days from sundown Oct 2nd to Oct 4th. The festival is cele-brated on the first day of the Jewish year and on the yearly anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve. This holiday emphasizes the special rela-tionship between God and hu-manity, our dependence on God as our creator and sustain-er. With the celebration it is the sounding of the shofar, the ram’s horn, which also repre-sents the trumpet blast to call the people to repent. Rosh Hashanah also recalls the anni-versary of people’s first sin and their repentance of it. An-other early Jewish event the sounding of the Shofar recalls is the binding of Isaac and the ram’s taking of his place. One hundred shofar blasts are made over the course of the Rosh Hashanah services. Everyone prays together for a year of life, health and prosperity. So what is Yom Kippur and how is it celebrated? For the

Jews Yom Kippur is the Holiest day of the year. The focus is on fasting, atonement, solemnity and joy. For nearly 26 hours from several minutes before sunset on October 11 this year until nightfall on Oc-tober 12th, the Jews are to “afflict their souls”, and ab-stain from food and drink. They are not to wash or wear leather footwear. Prior to Yom Kippur they perform a Kaparot atonement service where they request and eat honey cake and acknowledge that all are recip-ients in God’s world, and eat a festive meal and pray for a sweet and abundant year. Chil-dren are blessed and candles are lit. In the course of the fasting of Yom Kippur 5 prayer services are held where read-ings from Leviticus, the book of Jonah, the psalms, and con-fessions are made. While this is the most solemn and holy day of the year the underlying tone is of joy in the confidence that God accepts their repent-ance and forgives their sins. At the end of the observance there is a joyous after fast feast.

Keep those questions coming! Rev. Dr. Jane Clark

All Saints Day, in Other Places

In Portugal, All Saints’ Day is celebrated annually on the 1st of November and honors all saints, mar-tyrs and heroic Christians celebrated throughout the year. Although the Day of the Departed is on the 2nd, it is on the 1st that all those who died are honored by their relatives because it is a national holiday. The Portuguese families decorate the graves of their relatives in cemeteries with flowers and candles. In the morning of All Saints Day in Portugal, chil-dren go out into the streets, knocking on every door, reciting poems and asking for the 'cookie' or 'bread of God', an ancient tradition that has some similarities to Halloween. Traditionally they are giv-en bread, scones, cakes, nuts, walnuts, almonds, chestnuts and dried fruit, which are put inside a simple cloth bags, that are patch worked or embroi-dered for this purpose. Nowadays it is more common to give the children sweets, chocolates or coins, so tradition is chang-ing into more modern “methods”. -from “www.heyportugal.com”

The French people commemorate their dead on the 1st of November. The Roman Catholic tradition makes a distinction between Toussaint (All Saints’ Day, on the 1st of November) from the “Commémoration des fidèles défunts” (All Soul’s day, on the 2nd of November). Dead relatives are supposed to be commemorated on the 2nd of No-vember, but since Toussaint is a public holiday, French people honor their dead on the 1st. Mem-bers of a family usually gather to go to the ceme-tery together. They put chrysanthemum flowers on the grave and light candles to symbolize happiness in the afterlife. They can also attend special church services. Toussaint can be a very important mo-ment for families. They can spend a day together in a respectful atmosphere which generally excludes usual family fights, even though regrets and sorrow can be a source of tension. Toussaint is an oppor-tunity to strengthen family links, spending a nice day together or expressing common grief.
