In early September, Temple received the following from Rabbi Jonah Pesner,
Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. It is a joint
statement from 13 Reform Jewish Institutions:
Statement from the Reform Jewish Movement: As we begin the month of
Elul, we enter a time of introspection and reflection culminating in the Jewish
High Holidays. Individually and communally, we consider our actions, their
impacts on others, and our responsibility to do whatever we can to improve
ourselves and our community in the year to come.
In this spirit, we reflect upon and are compelled to express our deep concern
about the coarseness of public discourse, led in too many ways by the
president of the United States.
Since taking office, President Trump’s words and actions have sowed
division, spread fear, and expressed hateful views that go far beyond the
legitimate expressions of policy differences that characterize healthy political
debate. In unprecedented ways, he has verbally attacked people and
communities of color, immigrants, and people with disabilities, looking for
political advantage in turning Americans against one another. He has also
failed to consistently and unequivocally condemn words and acts of hate from
others. We must all expect more from the president of the United States.
In recent days, President Trump even suggested that Jews who vote for
Democrats are “disloyal.” Regardless of whether he was referring to disloyalty
to Israel or to the United States, this reprehensible statement evokes centuries-
old anti-Semitic tropes about Jews having dual loyalties and/or being
untrustworthy citizens of their nations. The implication that religion should
dictate political affiliation is noxious to the American value of religious
freedom that has strengthened this nation since its founding.
We also oppose the notion that President Trump’s words should be excused
because of his support for Israel and opposition to BDS. We are Zionists who
also oppose the BDS movement, which would result in the end of Israel as a
Jewish and democratic state – but we reject the president’s use of Israel as a
wedge issue and his inflammatory verbal and online attacks on those who hold
other views.
Let us be clear: This is not about policy differences or partisanship. Moral
Jews – moral Americans – can in good conscience differ on policies,
candidates, and parties. We celebrate such diversity in the Reform Jewish
Movement, knowing that political differences must never overshadow the
respect due to every person, within whom lives a Divine spark. We also know
that racism, xenophobia, white supremacy, misogyny, anti-Semitism,
homophobia, and hate existed well before President Trump’s election, and
individuals on the left bear some responsibility for their spread, as well. At
the same time, centuries of racism and white supremacy have left an indelible
imprint and open wounds on the United States that President Trump has
particularly exploited and exacerbated.

(Continued from page 1)
The words of the High Holiday prayer book are written in the collective,
reminding us that responsibility for misdeeds and their correction lies with the
community as much as the individual. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel also
observed that while “Some are guilty; all are responsible.” Indeed, decency
knows no party. Whether we are Republicans, Democrats, or Independents,
conservatives, moderates, or liberals, we all bear the responsibility to uphold
the norms of ethical speech and moral conduct that have made our democracy
great. That responsibility lies particularly with our national leadership, and
especially with our president. Speech that demeans and demonizes creates an
atmosphere of permission for further intolerance. Hate speech is hate speech,
and hate speech leads all too easily to hate crimes. We all have roles to play in
stemming the spread of hate, and elected officials tasked with pursuing the
common good – chief among them the president – have a special obligation to
uplift, rather than diminish, the public they serve.
The great sage Hillel, when asked if he could summarize the whole of Torah
while standing on one foot, replied, “What is hateful to you do not do unto
others. The rest is commentary.” (Babylonian Talmud, Shabbat 31a) As we
approach the Jewish High Holiday season, our tradition reminds us that there
is no statute of limitations on t’shuvah, repentance. At any time, the “gates of
repentance” are open to all by walking new paths that lift us up beyond old
patterns, returning us to the rhetoric of responsibility.
We pray, therefore, that President Trump is inspired by this spirit
of t’shuvah to turn from the path of hate speech he has walked.
We pray that all politicians commit to upholding the values of fairness and
decency, joining together across lines of difference to say, “Enough is
enough.”
We pray that all Americans, regardless of political association, religious
affiliation, or support for certain policies, will loudly and unambiguously call
for an end to a politics infused with bullying, hateful diatribes, and personal
character assaults.
We pray that each of us becomes a model to others, demonstrating how to
reject hate and celebrate the dignity and worth of every human being. As the
Talmud teaches, “Human dignity is so important that it overrides even a
biblical prohibition.” (Babylonian Talmud, Brachot 19b)
May the new year be a year of healing, wholeness, justice, and compassion
for all.

Becoming Halutzim Julie Zorn
A pioneer by definition is “a person who is among the first to explore or settle a new country or
area.” (Encyclopedia Britannica) When we think of Israel and the halutzim, (Hebrew for pioneers) we
imagine the first settlers cultivating the land, building houses and schools, and of course, holy temples.
Sukkot is an easy reminder of those times as we build our own Sukkahs and gaze up at the sky through
the spaces in their roofs. We can imagine Israeli farmers harvesting their crops and sleeping out under
the stars so there was no need to trek back and forth from their homes. The result of this choice
enabled them to pick as many fruits and vegetables as possible before they over ripened.
This year, the beginning of Sukkot and Columbus Day coincide. Christopher Columbus and his crew on the maiden voyage
discovering the New World is America’s version of halutzim. The Columbian Exchange was a transfer of plants and animals
and technology between the new and old worlds. In fact, it has been said that the pilgrims and Native Americans looked to
Sukkot and its customs when they shared their first meal of Thanksgiving together.
Sukkot and Columbus Day do not align every year, but because they do this year, perhaps we should take a look at our
earliest settlers and take note of how they must have observed the world. A new land is a blank slate, and new people to build
it up have a fresh set of eyes and a certain amount of wonder and appreciation in their hearts. Perhaps it is important to take
this reminder and understand that we can always embark on new endeavors as we build new paths on our own personal
journeys and those of our community.
We hope to pass along these concepts to our Chadash students. Their Jewish education is a time to become explorers. It is a time to look at history and extrapolate how the traditions of the old can influence the new. Their education uses our history to
inspire what they set forth to do today, and we only can hope that they treat their Jewish education as a pioneer would treat
new land.
A very happy Columbus Day Sukkot to all. May it inspire you all to become halutzim as you cultivate all your new
endeavors and explore what the world has to offer.
Message from the President
The High Holy Days are a ten day period examining how we lived during the past year and
articulating our hopes and prayers for the new year ahead. It’s a time of year when we come together
to pray. We may spend a day, an hour, or even just a few moments of self-introspection.
Much of Reform Judaism is subject to interpretation. In services, we can hear the same prayers,
songs, and sermons, yet what you heard may have a completely different meaning to another. For
example, the sounding of the Shofar may elicit various responses of the meanings and origins. And
although we may not interpret identically, we are there for the same purpose; looking for another
chance to be a better person.
Traditionally, we greet each other on Rosh Hashanah with, “L’Shanah Tovah Tikatevu,” meaning may you be inscribed for a
good year. On January 1st, we wish each other a happy new year. On Rosh Hashanah, we should remind ourselves our
purpose is not happiness but goodness. If we strive for goodness, happiness will follow.

Dear Blood Drive Supporters,
Thank you for coming out this year to support our replacement blood drive. This was our
sixth year and our largest turnout ever. Forty people came and thirty-five units of blood
were collected. Every unit has the potential to save a life. This year, Vitalent (formerly Life
Share) will be donating monies based on the amount of blood collected to go to a charity of
our choice. We have selected the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to continue their life-
saving research to help flight blood cancers plus provide local support to cancer patients.
We hope to count on you for continued support next year. Mark your calendars for
Wednesday August 12, 2020.

Lazarus Artist Series Features Pianist Alexandre Marr
Sunday, October 20, 2019, 2:00 p.m. at Temple Israel
Pianist Alexandre Marr performs beloved piano solo
works of 19th and 20th century composers at the next
offering in the Gladys and Sanford S. Lazarus Artist
Series. The concert, which includes guest performances
by Greg Fiocca, cellist; and sopranos Heidi Swinford
and Merissa Coleman, is Sunday, October 20, 2019, at
2 p.m. at Temple Israel. This program, as specified in
the Lazarus endowment, will be free and open to the
public. A reception will follow the concert.
Temple members know Alexandre as the music director
and pianist for the Temple’s High Holy Day worship.
He is known throughout Northeast Ohio for his musical
artistry. Alexandre began his study of piano at age 10.
Following several debut concerts, he went on to formally pursue an undergraduate degree in piano performance at
Case Western Reserve University and The Cleveland Institute of Music, moving on to study at Kent State
University.
Winner of several concerto competitions, Alexandre was invited to play at the first “Rach Fest” at New York City’s
Steinway Hall, where the music of Rachmaninoff was showcased in what was one of the city’s most important
musical venues.
Works by Claude Debussy, Franz Liszt, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Frederic Chopin are on the Oct. 20 program
which also features a work by Ernest Bloch.
Temple Israel is deeply grateful to the family of Gladys and Sanford S. Lazarus for the establishment of the Gladys
and Sanford S. Lazarus Memorial Endowment for the Arts which makes it possible to offer quality music programs
of this sort. The Gladys and Sanford S. Lazarus Artist Series is a fitting honor for a couple who loved music and
who gave so generously of themselves and to our congregation.
So that we can plan accordingly for the reception and seating, an RSVP is appreciated. Please let the Temple office
know if you are planning to attend, [email protected] or call 330.455.5197.
