HIGH HOLY DAYS SERVICES

Dan Finkle and SUe Sacks practicing for the Junior Congregation Family Service.

Our Religious Practices Committee, headed by Larry Feldman and Jeff Passis, worked with our rabbi and cantor to respond again to the needs of our growing congregation in planning this year's High Holy Days services. Again this year, we are pleased to offer a variety of different services for children of all ages. Today, we are a congregation of many communities and ages, from pre-schoolers to se­niors. We hope this variety will help make the holidays meaningful for all who participate.

Our High Holy Days begin with our Selichot service and program on Sat­urday evening, September 11. (See page 3 for details.) Rosh Hashanah services will be held in the Sanctuary on Wednesday evening, September 15, at 6:00 p.m.' and 8:00 p.m., and on Thursday morning, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Tickets are required for these services. A PreschoollPrimary School Family Service will take place in the Sanctuary on Rosh Hashanah after­noon at 2:00 p.m. No tickets are re­quired for this service. Grandparents

are invited to attend. The service will be led by our rabbi and cantor and will : include a story told by them. An Oneg­Hag reception of apples and honey will follow in the Social Hall.

On Rosh Hashanah morning, at 11:00 a.m., we will again hold our Junior Congregation Family Service in the Social Hall. This service is geared to children in grades four through seven. The service will be led by our Senior Youth Group Advisor, Dan Finkle, and Sue Sacks, our Religious School music specialist. Members of our Youth Group and families will also help to lead our service. The rabbi will attend for part of the service and offer a brief sermon. We will again use our new Junior Congregation High Holy Days Prayerbook. A Torah reading and sho­far service will be included. The ser­vice is scheduled to conclude at the same time as the main service in the Sanctuary. Parents and grandparents are invited and encouraged to attend with their children.

(continued on page 2)

SERVICES (continued)

We will follow a similar schedule on Yom Kippur. Friday evening, Septem­ber 24, services will take place in the Sanctuary at 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. Ser­vices on Saturday morning, Septem­ber 25, begin at 10:00 a.m., and Junior Congregation Family Services begin in the Social Hall at 11:00 a.m. Our PreschooVPrimary School Family Ser­vice will take place in the Sanctuary at 2:00 p.m., and AfternoonIYizkor Services begin at 3:30 p.m.

We are most interested in your com­ments and feelings about our High Holy Days Service. If you have any suggestions or comments, please share them with us.

IllGH HOLIDAY

APPEAL

This year, the Board of Trustees of Har Sinai is initiating an annual High Holiday Appeal. The purpose of this appeal is to address both the immedi­ate physical needs of our synagogue

: and the long-term financial realities of maintaining the strength of our Jewish institution.

We plan to allocate one-half the mon­eys raised to building maintenance projects that the Board of Trustees will approve. The projects will be iden­tified and completed on a priority ba­sis to consistently maintain our build­ing, thereby avoiding the urgency of a major refurbishment.

The remaining one-half of the funds will be invested with our Endowment Fund. The ultimate goal of our En­dowment Fund will be realized when the income generated impacts posi­tively on our dues structure and pro­gramming.

We will begin to achieve these congre­gational goals as each Har Sinai fam­ily responds to this appeal.

Please pledge as generously as pos­sible to support Har Sinai. Thank you.

IllGH HOLY DAY RITUALS

This month, as fall approaches, Jews throughout the world begin to prepare for a unique ten-day period of prayer , self-examination, fasting and repentance. It is time for the Yamim Noraim, the Days of Awe: the High Holy Days, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are biblically based. The Book of Leviticus (Lev. 23:24-25) declares: " In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe a day of rest, a memorial proclaimed with the blowing of the shofar, a holy convocation." This day eventually became Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. It was not until about the Second Century C.E. that the name Rosh Hashanah first occurred. Before then, the day had many other designations. The oldest name, found in the Torah, is Yom Teruah, a day of the sounding of the shofar. Two other names, undoubtedly reflecting Babylonian influence, were Yom Bazikaron, Day of Remembrance, and Yom BaDin, Day of Judgment.

The Shofar

One of the most important and exciting rituals of Rosh Hashanah is the sounding of the shofar. There are many explanations for this custom, which has become such an integral part of the Jewish New Year. Certainly the link with Yom Teruah was an early reason, but there are many others.

Some people feel that the shofar reminds us of the Sinai experience. At a time when Jews are closest to God, they say, this historical moment is relived through the shofar service. The great Jewish philosopher Maimonides saw the sounding of the shofar as a call to repentance, while the Talmud viewed the ritual as a means of confusing Satan so that he would not harm the Jewish people during this time of judgment.

The most common explanation of the shofar in the Rosh Hashanah service, however, derives from the account of the binding of Isaac in Genesis 22, which we read on the New Year. The sacrifice of Isaac was averted through the

. substitution of a ram for the boy. Although a key message is a statement against human sacrifice, the story also became a basis for the blowing of the ram's horn on Rosh Hashanah.

In addition, some say the shofar is customarily curved, symbolic of the human heart bent in humble repentance on this important day.

Fasting on Yom Kippur

Fasting was originally seen as fulfilling the biblical commandment to "practice self-denial." Midrashic writings also stress fasting as a historical reminder of Israel's repentance for the incident of the golden calf. More importantly, however, the Yom Kippur fast enables us, for at least one day each year, to ignore our physical desires and focus instead on our spiritual needs. We concentrate on prayer, repentance and self-improvement before returning to our normal daily routine.

According to tradition, all females from age 12 and all males from age 13 must fast. It was and is the custom in many communities to encourage even younger children to begin fasting for several hours each year, to prepare them for full participation when the proper time arrives.

Although the Yom Kippur fast is of great importance, it is never allowed to jeopardize life. Those too ill to fast are prohibited from doing so. Those who need medication are allowed to break the fast, as are pregnant women or women who have just given birth or are nursing. Anyone who cannot fast should not fast on Yom Kippur.

SELICHOT SERVICE AND PROGRAM

Join us for our Selichot service and program on Saturday evening, September 11, at 8:00 p.m. in the Social Hall. We will view a film called The Quarrel, based on the brilliant short story by the Yiddish novelist Chaim Grade. The Quarrel tells the tale of a deeply emotional encounter between two old friends/enemies, who meet by chance 15 years after being separated by the Holocaust, only to revive the argument that drove them apart in their youth. Few rums in history - Jewish or secular - have the power to move so many. The Quarrel raises issues that are intimately Jewish, yet break through into universal themes that touch Jew and non-Jew alike. The Quarrel has won numerous awards and much recognition; it was nominated for anCanadian Academy Award.

Following our viewing of this film and a discussion of its themes and meanings, we will move upstairs to our Sanctuary for our Selichot service.

What Is Selichot?

Selichot, a Hebrew word meaning forgiveness, refers to the special penitential prayers recited by Jews during the High Holy Day season. The Selichot liturgy contains some of the finest Jewish religious poetry ever composed.

Traditional Jews recite Selichot beginning late at night on the Saturday before Rosh Hashanah and continue before dawn on the days between the New Year and Yom Kippur. Reform congregations that observe Selichot usually do so on the Saturday night just prior to Rosh Hashanah, a solemn and fitting prepa­ration for the ten days of reflection and self-examination.

Our Selichot service is brief and introspective, with intense religious feelings. We enter the Sanctuary with the lights dimmed and music playing softly, to create a contemplative mood. Because Selichot is recited on Saturday night, we start with Havdalah, the ritual that separates the Shabbat from the six days of the week, the holy from the profane. Selichot separates the High Holy Days from the rest of the year in much the same way. At the end of the service, we will change our Torah mantles from the ordinary colors to the special white covers of the High Holy Days.

Please join us for this Selichot program and service, as we ready and prepare ourselves for the High Holy Days.

CEMETERY

SERVICES

Our annual Memorial Park Services will be held on Sunday afternoon, Sep­tember 19. This beautiful service is especially planned for those members of our congregation whose loved ones have been buried at these cemeteries. It is a meaningful and comforting ex­perience and most appropriate for this time of year when we feel especially close to our departed loved ones.

The practice of visiting the cemetery during the High Holy Days is one that we should observe. It expresses our love and devotion to the memory of those who have gone before and repre­sents a continuing and ongoing tie with the heritage of our families and our people.

Services will take place at 2:30 p.m. at Greenwood Cemetery and at 3:30 p.m. at Ewing Cemetery. There is no more beautiful way to recall our loved ones at this season than to give charity in their names and to join with our con­gregation in marking the meaning of their lives in this special Memorial Service.

BABY-SITTING

SERVICES

A free baby-sitting service will again be available for parents with younger children for the morning and family services on Rosh Hashanah and all day on Yom Kippur. We hope that this will make it possible for more mem­bers of the congregation to be able to attend services on these important days.

This year, our Religious Practices Committee is coordinating a Judaic component during babysitting time. The themes of the holidays will be explored and your children will have the opportunity to participate in a special arts, music and crafts program.

Please ... nursery school through age nine only. Please bring any refresh­ments your child will require. Also, please register your youngster(s) for this service prior to the holidays if possible. Just call the Temple office at 392-7143.

IllGH HOLY DAYS

HUNGER

PROJECT Our Social Action Committee is again conducting its annual High Holy Days Hunger Project. Last year, Jewish congregations across the country do­nated over 200 tons of food to their local food banks and soup kitchens. This year, we know that the response will be even better.

At Rosh Hashanah Services, please take horne a shopping bag. Inside the bag will be a donation envelope for MAZON: A Jewisb Response to Hun­�. On Yom Kippur, when we volun­tarily fast, we remember those who go without food so many days of their lives. We hope that each of you will support MAZON with a contribution during the Ten Days of Repentance, the days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Please bring the bag back to Temple on Yom Kippur, filled with food for the poor in our community. Our Social Action Committee will ensure that all donations reach the needy in our area Thanks for your support.

LONG-RANGE PLANNING COM­MITTEE UPDATE

Our Long-range Planning Commit­tee, chaired by Jeff Fine, has been very busy meeting during the sum­mer. J effled several small focus groups of congregation members and is plan­ning on more groups to meet during the fall. Our focus groups were crucial in helping our committee to develop a needs assessment/demographic sur­vey to be mailed within the next few weeks. The survey was developed by a sub-committee chaired by S teve Sussman and Roz Coopersmith. We need 100 percent participation from every member of our Temple family for this survey to provide us with meaningful results. Please, take the time to completely and accurately re­spond to the survey and then return it as soon as possible.

Over the next months, we will analyze the survey results and make concrete suggestions for changes that our congregants desire. If you would like to join the Long-range Planning Com­mittee, please call the Temple office, or call Jeff Fine at 215/860-1144.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL

REPORTS

by Ann Kanarek

The Religious School building has been quiet during the summer months. During this time, the rooms were cleaned and polished, books ordered and supplies made ready. As we were getting everything ready for the start of the school year, there also grew a feeling of nostalgia and longing for happy voices and eager faces to fill these empty spaces. As our sages said, "Let happiness and gladness fill these halls of learning."

So now that the eerie silence is about to give way to our children's happy presence, we know how much we have really missed you! B'ruchim Habayim ... Blessed be you, who have corne back to us to learn, to grow as girls and boys and as Jews proud of their heritage and to give us, parents and teachers, the opportunity to teach you the ways of Judaism and the Jew­ish people. All kinds of exciting new programs and materials are waiting for you. You will have the opportunity to see and use them in the weeks to corne.

In early August, I was fortunate to be able to attend a week-long Conference on Alternatives in Jewish Education. This gathering brought together 1500 Jewish educators from all over the United States and Canada to the cam­pus of Trinity University in San Anto­nio, Texas. There wasn't a moment to spare from early morning until late at night, with courses that ranged from the use of computers for instructional purposes to the best teaching tech­niques on Jewish music, to scholarly lectures on Bible, Jewish history and much more. My colleagues and I all benefitted from this cross-fertilization of ideas and we are all enthusiastic, energized and ready to start the new year.

On behalf of the entire Religious School faculty, we extend to you, our stu­dents, and your parents, our best wishes for a year of health, happiness �n(l .'1 .1
