The Road We've Travelled by Rabbi Michael Knopf

In the waning hours of the year, I find myself reflect-ing on the journey I have been on with my congre-gation over the past year, and over the past 3 years

since I came to Richmond. I usually do a "state of the shul" address on the 1st Day of Rosh Hashan-ah, but world affairs have pulled me in other direc-tions this year. Nevertheless, I can't help myself from sharing some of Temple Beth-El's incredible accomplish-ments from the past year: 1) We have made welcoming, embracing, and teaching non-Jewish seekers a cornerstone of Beth-El's work. We've brought Judaism into the public square with programs like "Pop Up Rabbi" and our Jewish New Year Celebration at the Rich-mond Folk Festival. And we are constantly focused on connecting people to Jewish wisdom in ways that are relevant and meaningful for people in to-day's world, holding classes, lectures, workshops, and opportunities to learn and grow on an almost daily basis. 2) We've restored Tikkun Olam to the heart of Jewish communal purpose. We hosted dozens of Iraqi, Afghani, and Syrian refugees, as well as 100s of others from across the religious spectrum, for a truly unique Passover Seder, shining a light on the refugee crisis. We "adopted" and supported a newly arrived family of refugees from Iraq. We've partnered with the IRC and Reestablish Richmond in this sacred work. We've been organizing to pro-vide assistance to local immigrants, regardless of documentation or status, and have been closely partnering with the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy to do so. We are involved in racial reconciliation and anti-racism work in partner-ship with Initiatives of Change, Cities of Hope, and Richmond Clergy Against Racism. Our involve-ment in the latter organization led to our congre-gation's participation in the "New Shoes for Back to School Ministry" in partnership with Third Street Bethel AME Church as well as a dozen other congregations, in which we helped give out new shoes to 4,000 children in need. We are participat-ing in cross-cultural dialogue, understanding, and partnership. Partnering with the VCIC, we helped

launch the "Standing Together" coalition and pro-gram series, which unites local faith communities in standing shoulder to shoulder against hatred, particularly Islamophobia, and I have striven espe-cially to address and push back against Islamopho-bia in the Jewish community. 3) We are on the cutting edge of organizational and Jewish communal transformation. We've ex-plored and developed creative new approaches to Jewish worship (like "Rosh Hashanah Live" which utilizes rock and pop music - played by Susan Greenbaum and Chris Parker - to make the themes of the holiday come alive for contemporary, He-brew-averse, God-optional worshippers), and we continue to innovate in this space (see our recent creative Selichot ritual, which was wholly unique, bringing many to tears - in a good way). We've re-envisioned our approach to youth education, making it more like Jewish summer camp and less like "school," leading to incredible growth in our Religious School and youth programs for the first time in years. We overhauled our organizational structure, ratifying a new Temple constitution this past spring. We've also developed innovative ways to transform a congregation of dues-paying mem-bers into a true, deeply interconnected, commu-nity of relationships. We are particularly proud of The Havurah Project, in which hundreds of mem-bers of our congregation are gathering in each oth-ers' homes for monthly Shabbat dinners. 4) We are a leader in millennial engagement in the Richmond Jewish community. "The Bridge" is helping connect affiliation-averse millennials to the benefits of Jewish communal life in ways that make sense for them. Of course, we will never rest on our laurels. There is still much to do. "The day is short, and the task is great, the reward bountiful, and the Mas-ter insistent!" as the Mishnah teaches. Neverthe-less, we are marching inexorably forward in our mission to connect people with Judaism, nurture sacred community, and inspire tikkun olam. I am proud of where we've been and what we've accom-plished, and I am excited to see where we will go together in the coming year.

L'shanah tovah! Rabbi Knopf

Beth-El Refugee InitiativeUpdate from Task force co-chair Linda Price As we write this bulletin article we are beginning a new year, and of course, reflecting on the year that has passed. I am confident that as members of the Refugee Task Force evaluate the past year, we reflect on the amazing journey of our dear refugee family, the Safars. In only five short months they are becom-ing entrenched in a new life in Richmond. Both parents are working full time jobs. The oldest daughter is also employed and attending night school. The younger children are enjoying the excellent Henrico County Schools. We continue to provide transportation, tutoring, budgeting assistance and, most importantly, friendship. But the journey is not exclusive to the Safar family. All of us who have engaged with them continue to experience a journey of personal growth and enlighten-ment.

We invite you to become involved with our group. A pressing need is a vehicle! Can you imagine living in western Henrico County without a car? The dad, Hussein, independently stud-ied and received his driver’s license, but has nothing to drive. If you have any ideas to assist in securing a car, or if you have an extra vehicle that you wish to donate before the end of this tax year, please contact us!! Linda Price [email protected] Edelstein [email protected]

Holiday Family TableIn an effort to bring people together during the holiday

seasons, and give those who may not have a place to celebrate or want to learn more about holiday ritual, we are excited to introduce a concept called “Family Table.” Each holiday season, the goal is to put people together.

There’s no long-term commitment and the format will be potluck for communal meals between those who sign up

and have matching preferences or profiles.

Please fill out the form at the following link and you will be

contacted by the Family Table organizers. (April Williams and Leah Bondy)

Form will close Mid-November in time for Hanukkah.

Adult Education2017-18 THeme The Dignity of DIFFERENceMonday MidrashEvery Monday Beginning Oct. 23 with Rabbi Knopf 12:15- 1:15 p.m. at Grove Ave. KR, bring a dairy/veggie lunchAccording to tradition, the Torah has “70 faces.” Every word calls for interpretation. No one interpretation can claim to be the right understanding. The rabbis called this cre-ative interpretation of Scripture “midrash,” and they left us a treasure trove of diverse opinions about the Torah. Join Rabbi Knopf for a journey through Midrash Rabbah, a classic collection of these teachings. We’ll start with Genesis and learn a little bit each week. No prior experience necessary. Bring an open mind and an inquisitive heart! Come to any or all sessions; RSVP for the first session on Oct. 23 at bethelrichmond.org/event/midrash

Rounds with the Rabbi Third Thursdays (next one Nov. 8) with Rabbi Knopf 6 - 7 p.m. in the Blue Room (top floor of admin. building) Grab a drink with the guys on your way home from work as we discuss what Judaism has to say about juggling work, marriage, & young kids.

Temple Beth-El presents

Kosher Gospel is the marriage of Jewish religious lyrics and meanings with the soulful sounds of American gospel music. While the word “gos-pel,” Greek for good news, is usually associated with African-American Christian churches, these African rhythms predate the West Africans’ in-troduction to Christianity. This sound has been retained in the musical cultures of Black Af-rican Muslims and Jews. Such soul-inflected vocalizations filled the black synagogue Joshua attended as a child with his family, observant Jews who traced their lineage back to Senegal.

News from Brown Religious School Ramona Brand, Director of Youth LearningReligious School opened on September 10 to familiar and new friends filling the classrooms with excited chatter and smiles. We have almost 90 students, from pre-K through Confirmation and teen Madrichim engaged at the Reli-gious School. We welcomed 11 new families to our school community. It was wonderful to welcome everyone back to school and begin another new year

of learning together. It was been a very busy summer at the school campus, reconfiguring rooms to accommodate expanded programs and turning an old office into a new Teen Lounge! The lounge looks great and our teens are really enjoying having their own space. We will be celebrating Simchat Torah and Consecration at our first Family Nesiyah Program on Thursday, October 12. Ruach and Kadima kicked-off to a great start, with 13 participants at Bowl America on Oct. 8. Our incredibly dedicated and knowledgeable teaching staff have really made the start of the year fun and interest-ing for our students. Kol Hakavod!

Chugim Begin November 5:Back by popular demand! The Chugim (camp-style electives) will have a fall and spring session this year, so that your student can enjoy more than one Chug this year. Beginning Sunday, November 5, our students will become Chanuchim (campers) and will choose from elective sessions that will have them learning through doing. We have great electives planned for this year: Adventures in Archeology, Into the Woods, Mural Makers, Good Sports, and Techno Wizards! Each Chug will begin with a learning session and will then dive into hands-on activities to support that study. Kids will be able to pick a fall and spring option to double their fun and learning. The fall session runs November, 5, 12, and 19 and the spring session runs April 15, 22, and 29. Kef, kef, kef!! Fun, fun, fun!!!

A Message from the new president My name is David Isenberg and I’m taking over leadership of this group. If you’ve been a part of Men’s Club in the past we welcome you back, if you have never been a part of Men’s Club before we welcome you to experience a Techiya (rebirth) of the organization! Moving forward, we are creating a new three-pil-lar mission: Sports, Social/Networking, & Community Service/Religious School. We hope this new format is more engaging to all and offers something for everyone, whether you get involved in sports because that’s your thing or you love to network with other Jewish Men in the community. We are creating an organization that gives you the freedom to choose what you love to do and bring us all together at the same time. Harry Baron, new VP, along with myself will be leading these new initiatives.

New meeting structures10 meetings per year - 1 hour in length to be held at the Brown Religious School (601 N. Parham Rd) on the second Sunday of every month starting at 9:15am Sept. - May. Join us to discuss club business. Come for a bagel, lox and coffee and enjoy getting to know your Jewish brothers.
