temple emanuel september 2014 bulletin
DESCRIPTION
ÂTRANSCRIPT
Rabbi Robert S. Goldstein
Some summers are defined by the weather: day
after day of searing heat, droughts, hurricanes
or tornadoes. This summer will be remembered
for a flood of disturbing headlines from home
and abroad.
The season began with the deadly kidnapping
of three Israeli high school students followed
by the brutal murder of an innocent Arab boy.
This led to a bloody war between Hamas and
Israel, leaving more than 60 Israeli soldiers and
2,000 Palestinians dead, and a very tenuous truce. It continued with
the downing of an airplane and heightened tensions between
Ukrainians and Russians.
In August, American
troops were deployed to
Iraq, a humanitarian effort
to save the lives of
persecuted Yazidis, and
racial strife exploded in
Ferguson, Missouri. Even
in our own backyard there has been drama as we watched the
unfolding of an unprecedented dispute between the workers and
owners of Market Basket.
Whether here or abroad, it feels as if our world is spinning out of
control. It is disheartening to say the least. It makes one wonder if
disorder is the norm, and peace and harmony are just a naive
fantasy.
I generally subscribe to the philosophy of Ecclesiastes (1:9), “The
thing that has been is the thing that shall be; and the thing that is
done is that which shall be done: There is nothing new under the
sun.”
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur have a particular relevance this
year. Judaism recognizes the human capacity for violence, but urges
us never to despair, never to abandon the pursuit of peace. Our faith
urges us to engage in a quest for a more just society rather than
retreat from the seemingly intractable problems of the world. Ours is
a religion of hope, recognizing the human potential for change and
growth. Wars do end and nations, once bitter rivals, can become
partners. History has shown this to be true.
The High Holy Days is the Jewish version of a homecoming. Not
only do we reconnect to our fellow congregants during these sacred
days, but we also reexamine the Jewish values that can help us find
our place in a very tumultuous world. I find reassurance in the
wisdom of our faith and its understanding that we are imperfect, but
growth and change are possible. No matter how chaotic the world
may be, there is always hope.
I look forward to worshipping with you this year as we consider
some of the bigger questions we face in our own lives and in our
world. I am confident that together we will find inspiration in our
traditional prayers and comfort in the familiar melodies sung by
generations of our people.
I pray that the New Year brings peace to us, to our families and to
our world. Faith and I wish you good health and joy in the year to
come.

Musical Notes
"‘Od tir-e od tir-e kama tov yihye ba-Shanah, ba-Shanah ha-
Ba-ah” “You will see how much better next year will be".
An exciting and promising year is about to start. The year will
create new memories for us, our students and our families. We
will celebrate holidays, life cycle events, new B'nai Mitzvah
and create memories that will last a lifetime. When I think of
what makes my family Jewish, I think about zichronot,
memories. Memories shape our identity and make us the
people we are. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful
and supportive community. Together we share and create
memories.
As always, we begin the year with a Selichot service and
concert. Cantorial Soloist Laura Berkson will join me for a
concert featuring beautiful liturgical music that prepares us and
sets the tone for the High Holy Days' season. We welcome
back soloist Mark Kagan and our devoted adult choir as well as
our superb professionals. Flutist Amir Milstein, cellist Yael
Rubinstein and the rest of our talented musicians will join
pianist Brian Friedland. Our post B'nai Mitzvah students will
chant from the Torah and our junior choir will appear at the
Neilah service on Yom Kippur!
Our music program is also getting better every year. We have
so many talented musicians in our community: the adult choir,
junior choir, Abbas, Soul Sisters, Sababas band and Jew Jam.
The many special services and other events we offer are what
make our Temple very unique. There will be many
opportunities to create new memories.
We all watch and follow the latest unfortunate situation in
Israel. Let's hope that this year will be a year of blossom, love,
spirituality, friendship, achievement, good health, and most
importantly, a quiet, war-free year. I would like to end with the
words from Isaiah 2:4: "And they shall beat their swords into
plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall
not lift the sword against nation, neither shall they learn war
anymore.” Amen!
L’Shanah Tovah!
Cantor Idan Irelander
Executive Director’s Message The New Year 5775 is upon us. The doors of the sanctuary will
open for everyone to enter for worship and renewal. You will
take your place among us for beautiful services, sacred music,
meaningful prayers and timely messages from our rabbis.

members in good standing. If you are current on your financial
obligations to Temple Emanuel and did not receive your packet,

As we come together, it is our pleasure to welcome you home
for the holidays and to wish you the very best in the New Year.
To you and yours, may the New Year 5775 be a year of
prosperity, health, joy, well-being and peace.
Trish Grant
Executive Director
President’s Message
This summer has been hard on me, I am willing to admit.
While fighting waged on in Israel and I watched our extended
Israeli family members endure another round of violence
against their very existence, I also saw social media light up
with a new level of vitriol and menace I had not experienced,
and for which I was not prepared. People I knew well shared
clips and videos and supposed “news” highly critical of Israel.
I found this extremely distressing. This “news” was never
properly cited or supported and too many had no problem
carelessly “sharing” this nonsense as fact and proof. Along
with our mainstream media, they fell victim to the terrorist’s
tactic of creating bloodshed to draw the camera’s attention,
intentionally sacrificing their own in order to sway the court of
western opinion. Because they have used these vile tactics in
the past, I was not surprised by the actions of the terrorists;
however, I was deeply saddened by the reactions of others. I
was shocked by how quickly too many were to blame Israel for
everything. It hurt. And it scared me. I hadn’t felt the sting of
anti-Semitism in several decades. While the loud rhetoric in
Europe was the most overt example, the nasty tone at home
was also clear. I realized that even though we are freer than
ever to worship as we choose, even though we are accepted
into clubs and schools that once shut us out, even though our
“educated” neighbors no longer shun us, we cannot be
complacent. Because so many were so quick to attack the
Jewish state, because I no longer feel that the world will be as
willing to support us, we must remember to support each other,
support our Temple family and of course, support Israel. Our
parents and grandparents understood this. We must not forget. B’seder,
Ellen Keller
Director of Lifelong Learning This Fall, you’ll have opportunities to expand your mind, heart
and friendship circle. We will once again offer an Introduction
to Judaism class. This class is perfect for anyone who would
like to learn more about Judaism, whether Jewish or not. It is
also the first step to conversion for those interested. Mussarr is
the Jewish path to reflective, ethical, everyday living. I am
opening a group that will meet once a month to explore this
Jewish practice. If you are interested in the Intro to Judaism
class or Mussar Group, please email me.
On January 9th–11th, 2015, we’ll hold our first Temple
Emanuel Winter Getaway in North Conway, NH. At this
family-friendly Temple retreat, we’ll welcome Shabbat, build
community and have plenty of time for winter sports, shopping
and spa services at the North Conway Grand Hotel.
Be sure to keep your eye out for the Lifelong Learning
Brochure that highlights the many social, cultural and
education programs offered this year.

The Book of Jonah
Saturday, October 4, Yom Kippur Afternoon
AMIR MILSTEIN
In keeping with tradition, a member of our community will reflect on the traditional story of Jonah during the
afternoon of Yom Kippur. Amir Milstein has been our Temple flutist for a number of years. He was raised in
Israel, served in the Israeli army and received most of his musical training in Israel. Amir and his wife live in
Newton where they are raising their two sons. Their oldest graduated high school last year and deferred his college acceptance so that he could serve in the Israeli
army. Amir will share his thoughts on the ever-changing situation in the Middle East.
He will speak at approximately 5:00 pm.
This service is open to the community.
A FEW NOTES ABOUT THIS YEAR’S
HIGH HOLY DAY SERVICES
This year’s High Holy Days begin on Wednesday, September 24th.
This year the Early Rosh Hashanah Service on the first day, and the Early Yom Kippur Service will begin at 9:00
am and end by 11:00 am. This shorter, family-friendly service will have all the liturgical components of the service
with which you are familiar. These early services will be led by Rabbi Miriam Philips, Cantor Idan Irelander,
and Cantorial Soloist Laura Berkson. Rabbi Robert Goldstein will deliver the sermon.
Our early Kol Nidre service on Friday, October 3, will begin at 5:30 pm and will include all the elements of the
traditional Kol Nidre service, but with an ensemble of flute, cello, violin and double bass with participation by our
Cantorial Soloist Laura Berkson and professional choir, under the direction of Cantor Idan Irelander.
We will offer child care (with advance reservation), for those who wish to bring younger children. This service, although somewhat abbreviated, is still an adult service. Because of
its slightly shorter length it is also appropriate for older children who can sit through a 90-minute service.
It will be beautiful, majestic and inspiring. Congregants of all ages are encouraged to attend either the early or late service.
The 8:00 pm service will last approximately two hours with High Holy Day Soloist, Mark Kagan and choir.
Finally, as you know, High Holy Day tickets were mailed out last month to all congregants in good standing.
Please clear up any remaining and outstanding dues and Religious School financial commitments at this time.
Note that those attending the later Kol Nidre service will not be allowed into the parking lot until 7:30 pm,
allowing the early service attendees to safely exit.
Call the Temple Office if you have questions. We look forward to a wonderful High Holy Day season with you.

SELICHOT
CONCERT and SERVICE
Saturday, September 20th,
8 pm in the Chapel
Join us for a Special Evening of
liturgical and spiritual music
that will set the mood for the
upcoming High Holy Day services.
Services led by Rabbi Goldstein
and Cantor Irelander.
Concert featuring Cantor Irelander
and Cantorial Soloist Laura Berkson.
Refreshments in the Multi-Purpose Room.
A Delicate Matter Every year, following our High Holy Day services, we receive a number of complaints regarding the
“saving of seats”. Although we request that people do not save seats, in recent years the practice has become
widespread and by some accounts, a bit excessive.
Obviously, if a spouse is serving as an usher, or parking the car, it is expected that a seat would be saved. It is terribly unfair, however, for those of our fellow congregants who arrive early, to find entire rows of seats with tallit stretched over them. Aside from the obvious sacrilege of using a tallit for this
purpose, it is not appropriate.
This year, ushers (fellow congregants who are volunteering their time to help our services run more smoothly) will ask you not to save entire
rows of seats. Please respect their request and the feelings of our fellow worshippers.
Thank You…………………..The Ritual Committee
High Holy Day Seating Admission to services for the High Holy Days is limited to ticket holders. To avoid difficult and embarrassing situations, we bring this to the
attention of our congregation so that arrangements may be made in ample time for family guests. Please remember that we ask you to have your tickets visible
and available for the ushers at the main foyer entrance. Please call the Temple Office at 978-470-1356
to purchase tickets for out-of-town guests.
TASHLICH SERVICE Thursday, September 25, 4:30 p.m.
Duck Pond at the corner of Argilla Rd.
For more than six centuries, Jews have gathered by bodies of water to participate in a ceremony on Rosh Hashanah known as Tashlich. Tashlich literally means “you shall cast,” and the ceremony is linked to
the following passage from Micah:
God will take us back in love; God will cover up our iniquities.
You will cast all your sins into the depths of the sea. (Micah 7:19)
During the Middle Ages, our ancestors developed the custom of walking to a body of water on the afternoon
of Rosh Hashanah where, with the recitation of prayers, they would empty their pockets and symbolically cast off their sins from the previous year. Often they would toss crumbs of bread to the fish, whose never-blinking
eyes reminded them of God’s eternal watchfulness.
Join us in a spiritual exercise on Rosh Hashanah at 4:30 p.m. at the Duck Pond on the corner of
Argilla Rd. and Andover St. for a brief Tashlich service.
SUKKOT
Service Thursday, October 9
October 9th begins the holiday of Sukkot. The Sukkah will be erected by the flagpoles in the Mitzvah Garden adjacent to the Temple’s parking lot. We encourage everyone to take some time to visit the Sukkah during the holiday. For parents with children in the Religious School and Preschool, take a few minutes when you are dropping off or picking up your children to venture into the Temple’s Sukkah. It will be fun and interesting for everyone!

Temple Emanuel’s “Tree of Life”
Aitz Chayim He…It is a Tree of
Life to those Who Hold Fast to it!
Each Shabbat morning, with those powerful words from
Proverbs 3:18, the Torah is carefully returned to the sacred
Ark. The metaphor of a tree has long been associated with
the Torah. Our sacred scripture, indeed the entire Jewish
tradition is depicted as a strong and sturdy tree offering
spiritual sustenance and intellectual nourishment to our people.
Congregants who wish to mark joyous occasions, honor worthy
people, or remember loved ones can arrange to have a leaf or
leaves affixed to the beautiful bronze “Tree of Life” on the
Foyer wall, adjacent to the entrance nearest the Temple Offices.
The leaves are available in copper ($180),
silver ($360) and gold ($540). The wording
on the leaves can be from one to four lines.
A leaf on the “Tree of Life” is a worthy and noble honor for the
person who has everything. Knowing that the leaves will remain
on the Temple wall for future generations to see, only adds to
their significance. If you would like to order a leaf (or leaves),
please call the Office (978) 470-1356 for more information.
Partner with us to give a family new hope
Merrimack Valley Habitat for Humanity builds homes, shares hope and changes lives by
moving hardworking families from overcrowded, dispiriting living conditions to safe, decent and affordable homes, providing them with the stability and foundation they
need to build a better life.
It is a partnership of hope and of a helping hand up, not a hand out. Come be part of
our “Day that Faith Built” event on Sunday, December 7th and help transform 100 Parker Street in Lawrence, MA into
ten homes for ten deserving families in our community. You don’t have to be a skilled
builder to be part of a Habitat build. (You do have to be 16 or older.)
For more information, please contact Martha
at 978-681-8858 or [email protected]

Volunteers are needed to help run the
recruitment drive. Contact Judy Matulsky,

Cemetery
The Temple Emanuel Cemetery is located on Mount
Vernon Street. While the gates to the cemetery are kept
locked except during special holidays, the Temple
Emanuel Cemetery is always available to visit. If you
wish to visit the cemetery, please feel free to pick up a
key from the Temple Office, which you are welcome to
keep. We do ask that you relock the main gates upon
leaving the cemetery after your visit.
"Rent an Arrangement" Would you like to perform a mitzvah and have the
bima look beautiful at your child's Bar/Bat Mitzvah?
By renting the floral arrangements, you can bring the joy that
accompanies a child becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah into another
family’s life. All proceeds from rentals help pay for the expense of
either a tutor or for a small Kiddush lunch for a family who could not
afford to have their child take part in and celebrate this beautiful life
cycle event. The rental donation for the floral arrangements is $180
for two, or $90 for a single arrangement. To rent the arrangements,
or for any questions, please contact the Temple Office.

Join Rabbi Philips and fellow
congregants for lively and educational discussions
around Jewish-themed books. For more information or to join the mailing list
e-mail Rabbi Philips, [email protected]
We are starting to prepare PHA for our
eleventh year serving those in need. What
can you do to get involved? We are looking
for volunteers to work two hour shifts either
weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. We also need volunteers to drive
the truck and pick up furniture for donors. Any time you can
give we will take! We also need people to organize community
or neighborhood drives to stock our shelves. We will once again
participate in Tewksbury’s Zero Waste Day on September 27th
and need volunteers. Teens can help too and volunteer on
Sundays. We also need help contacting restaurants, hotels,
furniture stores and other establishments which might be willing
to donate their no longer needed household goods, furniture or
appliances to PHA. Please contact me at [email protected] if you
would like to get involved - we would love to have you! As we
take the time to reflect, count our blessings and reach within
ourselves to make our own lives and those around ours more
peaceful and fulfilling, taking concrete action by reaching out to
those in need through PHA can start your year off on that path.
All the best for a happy and healthy New Year.
