TRANSCRIPT

I urge everyone to be better informed and

to share with friends and neighbors facts about

the situation in the Middle East and Israel.

Just by visiting some of the following websites

you will have access to perspectives that are

sorely ignored by most of the popular media.

SpeciÞcally,�please�visit�the�websites�of:¥��AIPAC,�the�American�Israel�Public�AȔairs�

Committee,�oȔers�the�latest�brieÞngs�about�American�legislation�and�policies�that�impact�on�Israel.�Reach�this�essential�organization�at:�aipac.org.

¥��AJC,�the�American�Jewish�Committee,�provides intelligent analysis concerning Israel and

the�Jewish�community.�Reach�them�at:�ajc.org.¥��PMW,�Palestinian�Media�Watch,�is�a�

research�institute�that�monitors�Palestinian�media�and�schoolbooks.�PMWÕs�major�focus�is�on�the�messages�that�the�Palestinian�leaders,�from�the�Palestinian�Authority,�Fatah�and�Hamas,�send to the population through the broad range

of institutions and infrastructures they control.

Reach�them�at:�palwatch.org.¥��StandWithUs�is�a�passionate�pro-Israel�

organization that provides important analysis

and�educational�material.�Reach�them�at:���standwithus.com

I hope that you will take the time to check out

the above listed sites.

Israel�needs�us,�and�the�U.S.�needs�Israel.�Your help in defending Israel against the

misinformation campaigns that are rampant

in the media and on many college campuses is

of�extreme�importance.�Please�know�that�your�voice�makes�a�diȔerence!

BÕvrakhah,

Rabbi Rick Rheins

Israel�Needs�UsNothing is more frustrating than to sit

safely�and�comfortably�in�our�American�homes�and�watch�while�IsraelÕs�safety�and�security�are�threatened.�We�watch�as�clueless�reporters�interview�Hamas�terrorists�and�a�wide�assortment�of�boilerplate�anti-Semites�straight from central casting who are paraded

in�front�of�the�cameras�to�spout�bald-faced�lies�about�Israel�and�Jews.�WeÕve�seen�this�obscene�display�time�and�again�in�our�long�history.�WeÕve�witnessed practiced deceit foisted on the world

by those trained in perpetrating the big lie. The

Nazis�perfected�it,�but�there�are�many�modern�day copycats who are tirelessly trotting out

their clumsy imitations. Europe is still rife with

anti-Semitism,�but�the�Muslim�fundamentalists�in�the�Middle�East�and�Asia�are�crafting�their�own virulent strain of that old poison. That

so�many�American�reporters�are�witting�(or�unwitting) accomplices of passing on hysterical

lies about Israel and calumnious swipes against

Judaism is a tragic indictment on the esteemed

and�vital�fourth�estate�of�democracy.�A�free�and knowledgeable press is essential for all

free�societies.�Woe�to�this�generation�that�is�subjected�to�the�media�ÒpersonalitiesÓ�in�the�American�and�European�press�establishment�who have sold out Israel for a pocket full of

ratings,�proÞts�and�the�pitiful�disregard�of�truth�in exchange for loyalty to the Journalism 101

directive�Òif�it�bleeds,�it�leads.Ó�Fortunately,�most�of�the�American�public�

recognizes�and�rejects�the�media�canards�that�condemn Israel for defending herself against an

onslaught�of�thousands�of�missiles�Þred�against�her�by�the�Palestinians.�What�other�nation�on�earth�sends�leaßets�and�makes�warning�phone�calls to enemy combatants in order to lessen the

number�of�collateral�injuries?�Indeed,�no�other�nation has ever gone to such length as Israel has

to reduce the number of casualties among those

enemies who are feverishly trying to destroy

it.�Americans�see�what�Israel�is�up�against�and�they�instinctively�know�that�IsraelÕs�enemies�are�the�same�people�who�hate�the�United�States�of�America�and�every�other�free�and�democratic�nation.�Americans�know�that�Israel�is�on�the�vanguard,�defending�the�hope�for�a�peaceful,�respectful,�egalitarian�future�that�is�under�vicious�attack by a medieval horde bent on spreading

a vision of oppression and fundamentalist

intolerance.�Americans�know�what�Israel�is�up�against,�and�poll�after�poll�shows�that�Americans�are overwhelmingly in support of Israel. But we

cannot�take�for�granted�this�support!

Oh,�how�often�we�heard�this�word�of�caution from grandparents who warned us

against saying something that might get

us�in�trouble.�ÒSha!�Be�quiet!�You�never�know�whoÕs�listening!Ó�Of�course,�when�we�were�about�to�say�something�inappropriate,�Òsha!Ó�saved�us�a�lot�of�embarrassment.�Unfortunately,�being�quiet,�especially�in�the�face�of�anti-Semitism�and�abuse,�never�worked�out�as�a�successful�strategy.�Ah,�the�classic�Jewish�conundrum:�ÒTo�be�(quiet)�or�not�to�be�(quiet).�That�is�the�question!Ó

more.�In�Pirkei�Avot�we�read,�ÒAveirah�goreret�aveirahÑone�transgression�leads�to�another.Ó�Like�a�branch�on�a�tree,�if�we�keep�bending�our�morals,�we�risk�breaking�them.�On�the�other�hand,�when�we�uphold�our�morals,�when�we�strive�to�follow�the path of righteousness in everything that we

do,�Òmitzvah goreret mitzvahÑone�mitzvah,�one�act�of�justice,�leads�to�another.Ó

Of�course,�there�are�sometimes�gray�areas:�good ends that require us to choose evil means

because�there�are�no�good�options.�We�do�ourselves a disservice when we rationalize the

best�of�the�worst�as�good.�We�would�uphold�our�integrity better if we recognized the evil we must

choose as such and made every possible attempt

to avoid being in a similar position in the future.

As�we�enter�the�new�year,�I�encourage�us�all�to�reßect�on�the�times�when�we�let�good�ends�justify�immoral means and times when we rationalized

ÒwrongsÓ�into�Òin-betweensÓ�or�Òrights?Ó�How�can we accomplish our goals without resorting to

acts�that�detract�from�our�integrity?�Thankfully,�the Yamim�Nora-im�(Days�of�Awe)�give�us�the�opportunity to learn from the past and prepare

ourselves�to�respond�more�justly�in�the�future.�May�the�coming�year�be�Þlled�with�blessings�of�

life,�peace�and�justice,

Does�the�End�Justify�the�Beans?In the musical�Into�the�Woods,�the�Baker�

and�his�Wife�argue�about�the�morality�of�trading�ÒmagicÓ�beans�for�JackÕs�all-white,�but�entirely�dried-up�cow,�which�they�need�to�break�the�WitchÕs�curse.�The�BakerÕs�Wife�thinks�that�the�beans are a fair trade—magic beans are certainly

worth more than anyone else would pay for a cow

that�canÕt�give�milk.�The�Baker,�on�the�other�hand,�isnÕt�sure�that�the�beans�are�magic�and�worries�that�they�have�scammed�poor�Jack.�He�asks�his�Wife,�ÒAre�we�to�dispel�this�curse�through�deceit?Ó�and�she�responds,�ÒThere�are�rights�and�wrongs�and�in-betweensÉIf�the�end�is�right,�it�justiÞes�the�beans.Ó

Our machzor�(High�Holy�Day�prayerbook)�challenges this perspective. It includes in the

Al�Cheit��confession�of�sin�Òall�the�evil�means�we�employ�to�accomplish�good�ends.Ó�We�compromise our integrity and the integrity of our

work when we bend our morals to accomplish our

goals,�and�it�can�be�so�easy�to�rationalize�some�of�the�Òin-betweenÓ�means�that�donÕt�seem�Òevil.Ó�We�might�tell�a�little�lie�here�or�a�half-truth�there�to�get�people�to�join�our�cause.�We�might�ignore�the needs of the people helping us as we work to

reach�the�end�more�quickly.�We�might�redirect�funds�to�support�our�good�project.�We�might�cause a little harm here to do a lot of good there.

The�problem�with�these�small,�rationalized,�just-a-little-wrong�acts�is�that�they�lead�us�to�

are rapidly approaching. I see and experience the

Every�September,�I�ask�myself�where�did�the�summer�ßy�oȔ�to?��Well,�summer�at�Temple�Sinai�was�Þlled�with�many�exciting�events,�including�our�Groundbreaking�Ceremony,�the�steady�course�of construction of our new school building and

the�arrival�of�our�newest�bright�light,�Cantor�Sheila�Nesis.�During�the�summer�months,�each�time�I�was�at�Temple,�I�viewed�the�building�progress and marveled at how far we have come.

It�is�only�through�the�diligence,�persistence�and�expertise�of�our�Building�Committee,�consisting�of�Michael�Mellun,�Marshall�Abrahams,��Rob�Abramson,�Neil�Culbertson,�Nate�Mendel,�Larry�Jacobson,�and�CliȔ�Yeckes;�our�Fundraising�Campaign,�headed�by�the�extraordinary�Sheryl�Gurrentz; and the commitment of our loyal

congregants who have gotten us this far. I also

thank each of you for embracing and taking part

in�SinaiÕs�Building�our�Future.This�year�Rosh�HaShanah�begins�on�the�

evening�of�September�24,�ushering�in�the�auspicious�Ten�Days�of�Awe�that�end�on�Yom�Kippur,�October�4.��It�is�during�this�ten-day�period�that Jews ask God and others for forgiveness

for any wrongs committed during the previous

year.��I�ask�you�to�join�me�in�resolving�diȔerences,�setting�aside�long-held�grudges�and�disputes�with�those you encountered and especially those you

love.�For�myself,�if�I�have�inadvertently�wronged,�slighted or hurt anyone in the congregation since

becoming�President,�I�ask�you�for�forgiveness�and�commit to do my best in the new year. I have

found that it is next to impossible to carry out the

role�of�President�without�some�missteps�along�the way.

During�the�High�Holy�Days,�please�give�a�smile,��a�hug�and�thank�you�to�our�fabulous�clergy�and�staȔ�who�make�our�High�Holy�Day�experience�exceedingly�meaningful,�as�well�as�beautiful to behold. Joe and I wish you and your

for�the�Religious�School�latke�and�hamantaschen�programs.�As�her�children�became�involved�in�youth�group,�so�did�Cindy.�Her�volunteer work with youth group has spanned more than 14

years�and,�although�both�of�her�children�are�no�longer�in�youth�group,�she�continues�to�volunteer�to�help�support�our�youth�program.

This�past�year,�Cindy�served�on�our�Youth�Committee�in�two�major�roles.�She�chaired�the�Temple�Sinai�Connections�program,�which�helps�our�post-high�school�students�still�feel�part�of�and�connected to our community by sending them care packages

at�Chanukah�and�Passover.�She�also�played�an�integral�role�in�planning,�running�and�volunteering�at�Winter�Chavurah,�that�

was held this past January at Temple Sinai and attended

by�more�than�200�youth.�Additionally,�she�helped�secure�donations�for�the�weekend,�and�she�and�her�husband,�Rich,�hosted�the�advisorsÕ�dinner�in�their�home,�where�she�prepared a homeÐcooked meal for 30 advisors from around

the�region.�Her�enthusiasm,�hard�work�and�dedication�helped�to�make�this�event�a�huge�success.�Cindy�also�enjoys�sharing�her love of cooking and baking with our Temple community

by�volunteering�to�bake�for�Onegs,�make�meals�for�families�in�times�of�need�and�host�ÒCooking�with�Mama�CoonsÓ�programs�for�our�youth.�Cindy�shares,�ÒIt�is�important�for�our�community�to�support�our�youth,�to�meet�them�where�they�are�on�their�Jewish�journeys�and�to�provide�them�with�opportunities to explore Judaism in ways that are relevant

and meaningful. Every opportunity we have to engage in

exploring�Judaism�with�our�youth,�to�help�them�Þnd�their�Jewish�voice�and�develop�their�Jewish�identities�is�a�privilege,�an honor and a blessing. I feel so blessed to be part of this

extraordinary community and I love volunteering because it

provides�me�with�opportunities�to�give�back�to�Temple�Sinai,�a community that has and continues to support me and my

One of my favorite aspects of Judaism is

the�idea�that�everythingÐfrom�the�most�basic�life�sustaining�activities,�to�once�in�a�lifetime�momentsÐis�worthy�of�sanctifying,�of�being�made�holy.��This�is�especially�true,�for�me,�at�the beginning of the school year and at Rosh

HaShanah.��We�have�a�blessing,�Shecheyanu,�to�thank�God�for�a�new�event,�or�the�reoccurrence�of�something�we�do�every�year.��We�are�asked�to�take�a�moment�and�be�grateful�for�new�clothes,�school�supplies,�the�Þrst�time�with�a�teacher,�reuniting�with�a�friend�we�havenÕt�seen�all�summer,�eating�apples�and�honey�or�lighting�the�Festival�candles.��

As�we�begin�the�school�year,�in�the�rush�and�chaos�so�much�a�part�of�this�season,�I�challenge�our entire community to stop; to take a moment

and�oȔer�appreciation,�gratitude�for�being�here,�for�getting�to�this�time,�for�having�the�opportunity to do these things that mark the

passage of the seasons and the path of our lives.
