A Tree of Life

by Rabbi Rick Schechter

The Rabbi?s Reflections

Living in California we are fortunate to be surrounded by so many natural wonders? majestic mountains, the beautiful ocean and lakes, and just about every type of eye-catching landscape imaginable, including forest, desert, and farmland.

An interesting fact: California is the nation?s most productive agricultural state, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture. It provides more than half of the fruits, nuts, and vegetables grown in this country.

I must admit that most days I don?t think a lot about agriculture? unless I?m shopping in the produce section of the grocery store. Perhaps you are like that too. Yet the Jewish festival season of Sukkot rolls around each year to remind us of our agricultural roots and the importance of the land?s nourishment and yield.

The temporary dwelling of the sukkah transports us back in time to when our ancestors were farmers. They lodged in the sukkah in their f ields during the busy fall and spring harvests. And when the harvest came in, what a time of great signif icance and celebration in ancient Israel it was! In fact, in the days of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, the rabbis tell us that Sukkot was celebrated with extraordinary fanfare? music, dancing, wine, torch ceremonies, juggling, elaborate rituals involving water and wine, and on and on it went. One hadn?t really been to a party until they had celebrated Sukkot at the ancient Temple, our rabbis say.

The festival of Sukkot, of course, has another important meaning and historical signif icance to us. The booths of Sukkot commemorate the ancient Israelites? journey in the wilderness after leaving the slavery of Egypt. Then and there, our ancestors had no permanent dwellings in which to live. Yet in that very crucible of physical insecurity, our ancestors forged a community, a legislation and judicial system, a religion, a moral and spiritual code? a way of l ife that stil l speaks to us today, inspiring us as we make our journey through life.

This month, as our celebration of Sukkot (on Sunday night, October 13) f lows into the holiday of Simchat Torah, we will rejoice in the very stories, wisdom and society that our people began to create in their journey through the wilderness. The Torah scroll with which we dance and rejoice on Simchat Torah forever records and relates that physical and spiritual journey? a journey that continues to this day with us.

Like our ancestors, at this season following the High Holy Days, may we go from dwelling in a sukkah to dancing around a Tree of Life? all the while appreciating, nurturing, and sustaining the trees, f ields, and natural resources that sustain us.

Chag sameach,

The President's Message

Shanah Tovah ? Publ ic Discourse ? Brit Olam

by Maggie Freed

The Temple Sinai Board is interested in hearing from the congregation regarding any issue that may concern you. Feel free to contact us as follows:

President: Maggie Freed - mwfreed@gmail.com Exec.VP: Steve Abrams - steve.abrams.tsg@gmail.com First VP: Harley Haas - haasht2@lacitycollege.edu Second VP: Phill ip Hain - phain@hotmail.com Treasurer: Dan Heller - djhellers@yahoo.com Recording Sec: Pat Smith - pasmith29@yahoo.com Financial Sec: Larry Cohen - labhoncho@gmail.com

Shanah Tovah! By the time you see this message, Rosh HaShanah will have passed. I hope your celebration of the new year was meaningful. I was recently reminded by Rabbi Rick Jacobs, URJ President, that Shanah Tovah doesn?t actually mean happy new year: Shanah is Year but Tovah means Good. So we aren?t only hoping that the year will be happy, as we know all kinds of things may happen over the course of a year. But a good year can be one in which we learn, grow, and try to deal positively with the challenges we will face.

A recent statement from the Reform Movement focused on the coarseness of public discourse.

?We pray that all Americans, regardless of polit ical association, religious aff il iation, or support for certain policies, will loudly and unambiguously call for an end to a polit ics 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 prohibit ion.? (Babylonian Talmud, Brachot 19b)

May the new year be a year of healing, wholeness, justice, and compassion for all.?

I?d like to encourage all of us to keep these words in mind during the coming year.

Temple Sinai?s Board of Directors has recently approved our membership in the URJ Religious Action Center?s Brit Olam program--A covenant with the world, where we join over 35 California synagogues in working to make the world a better place.

It is ?? our covenant to create a world in which all people experience wholeness, justice, and compassion ? to support congregations working together, learning from one another, and effecting change on the local, state, ? and federal levels.

Our work on this activity at Temple Sinai will focus on environmental and climate justice, a crit ical issue for our planet, our children and their children. We had a start last month with the screening of the documentary Paris to Pittsburgh, followed by a lively discussion about what each of us can do individually and together to help reduce CO2 emissions. You?ll be hearing more about our activit ies as we ramp up the program. For more about the Brit Olam see https:/ / rac.org/brit-olam-environmental-and-climate-justice

SisterhoodMatters

by Laura Goldsmith

Sisterhood provides a sanctuary for our Jewish Lives.

Within the arms of Sisterhood we find:The sacredness of friendship;

The refuge of our history;The consecration of mission;And, the altar of leadership.

We are rich in history,righteous in principles,

rewarded in the quality of lifeWe are Women of Reform Judaism-

Women of Sisterhood.

As I ref lect on this writ ing from the Covenant of the Generations, I am forced to look upon my roles as a mother, wife, educator, daughter, sister, and Sisterhood member. What can I improve upon during this New Year? How can I be of service to those in my life who rely on me for support, love, and knowledge?

We want to be here for all Women of Reform Judaism? we are your TSG Sisterhood. Many of us met in late August to plan events, organize committees, and work on rewrit ing the TSG Sisterhood Bylaws. These are going to set the stage for the year to come. We want to plan Social Action programs to support the WRJ?s focus on Women?s Reproductive Rights. We also know that the homeless situation in Glendale and nearby cit ies is an important cause to donate time and money to. We will be providing programs on these timely issues.

As I have asked in prior articles, What can you do to support your Sisterhood? Please join a committee which touches you. Feel free to email me (gggtinta@charter.net) to ask about committees or programs with which you want to assist. I also would like to highlight events and people in our Sisterhood who help their communities. I know that many of you are involved in our causes, but let?s see if we can join together in planning events for which we are all passionate about helping.

Have a healthy, peaceful, and wonderful New Year,

Laura Goldsmith

?Needlework is tactile prayer.? So said Cathy Perlmutter in a 2017 issue of Hadassh Magazine. Cathy will be the guest speaker at our Sisterhood Membership Brunch on Sunday, October 20th. She lives in nearby South Pasadena and is well-known in the f iber arts community as a gif ted quilter, teacher, author, and blogger. Her quilts have been seen in juried shows across the country including Quilt Con in 2018, The Road to California quilt show last January, and the International Quilt Association show in Houston.

Cathy is the past president of the 40-year-old Pomegranate Guild of Judaic Needlework,* a group of over 500 members belonging to chapters across the United States and Canada.

?Beautifying the mitzvot is a value woven into the fabric of Jewish observance,? she contends. Cathy has written the book on making kippot ? literally. Her book, The Uncommon Yarmulke: Easy Fun and Spiritually Loaded Little Jewish Hats was printed in 2009. She has maintained a website on Judaic quilt ing called Judaiquilt.com since the 1990?s and in 2012 began blogging weekly about her quilt ing adventures at gefiltequilt.com.

Last spring Cathy took on a special commission ? making the two original and gorgeous quilted wall-hangings that were given to the honorees at our temple fundraiser.

So join your temple Sisters on Sunday, October 20th to see examples of Cathy?s work and hear about the wonderful things that are happening in the world of Judaic f iber arts.

* Pomegranate Guild members are craftspeople in a range of techniques including weaving, quilting, needlepoint, applique, cross-stitch, knitting, crocheting and other rare needle arts.

Jacob's Fol ly by Rebecca Mil ler

In eighteenth-century Paris, Jacob Cerf is a Jewish street peddler burdened by a

disastrous young marriage but determined to raise himself up by whatever means he can.

His richly observed life in Paris' Jewish ghetto is radically altered when he gains entrance to

the opulent world of the aristocracy and the freedom to create his own identity. More than

two hundred years later, Jacob reappears in surprising form in the suburbs of Long Island.

He soon becomes obsessed by a young Orthodox Jewish woman with a secret

ambition. Determined to change her fate, Jacob takes it upon himself to entangle her

with a conflicted volunteer f ireman. As Jacob's plans unfold, the burdens of duty and the pull

of desire will twist the lives of all three.

Before We Were Yoursby Lisa Wingate

Before We Were Yours is based on the heartbreaking true scandal of Georgia Tann, a woman whose Memphis adoption center kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families. The book explores the lives of families generations apart that are connected by a heartbreaking thread of history and tragedy. In 1939, Rill Foss, only twelve years old, must fend for herself and her siblings after they are taken to an orphanage. At the mercy of a cruel director and the adults in her life, Rill attempts to keep her siblings together and safe. In the present day, privileged young woman, Avery Stafford, has a chance encounter that leaves her questioning her family?s history and the reality of her birth.

For Monday, November 11

Weizmann Alum Wins Prest igious Science Honor! by Lisa Feldman, M.A. Ed. Head of Weizmann Day School

Weizmann is proud to announce that last year's 8th grade student Maya Lurvey was honored as ?one of the top 300 young scientists, engineers, or innovators of the nation? in the Broadcom MASTERS middle school science competit ion!

Maya received this honor for the county and state award-winning science fair project that she completed last year with her partner and fellow 8th grade graduate, Sarai Golden-Krasner. Their project investigated the milkweed bug?s motion response to visual stimuli.

Broadcom MASTERS is the nation?s premier Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (?STEM?) competit ion for middle school students. The organization invites only the top 10 percent of middle school student science fair winners to apply for recognition in the top 300. This year's pool consisted of 2300 applicants from 47 states, D.C., and two U.S. territories. A panel of distinguished scientists, engineers, and educators evaluated the entrants based upon their creativity and originality, their ability to engage in analysis of data, and their understanding of STEM principles as they relate to the real world.

Broadcom MASTERS also recognized Weizmann science teacher Lori Snyder for her contribution to Maya?s success. Lori worked all year with Maya and Sarai to help them achieve their goal of making it to the California state science fair.

Weizmann is a small, community day school serving grades TK-8. We are thril led when our commitment to academic excellence results in achievements like these!

Weizmann?s Mission: to provide an enriching educat ion, rooted in Jewish t radit ions and values, which fosters crit ical thinking, creat ivity, col laborat ion, character and compassion.

To schedule a tour of our school , inquire about the school , or make a donat ion, please call the off ice at (626) 797-0204 or visit www.weizmann.net.
