Our Scholar in Residence this year will be Professor Michael Duffy, chair of the Art History department at East

Carolina University. Over the course of the weekend, Professor Duffy will enhance our appreciation of the Jewish art

that surrounds us in our own synagogue, dedicate a series of artistic prints newly received by our congregation, show us

how Chanukkah themes have inspired both Jewish and non-Jewish artists throughout the ages, and guide us through a

seasonal art exhibit.

You will learn something new and exciting at each of Professor Duffy’s three presentations. Even so, each one is a

“stand-alone” program, so you can enjoy any part of the weekend. Beginning with Shabbat services on Saturday,

December 8, held in our sanctuary, Professor Duffy will teach us how to get more out of the art in the synagogue. From

the Ascalon stained glass windows and etched glass panels to the Drexler Menorah/Burning Bush sculpture, we are surrounded by

Jewish art each time we gather to worship. What could we see in these works of art, that we are not seeing now, if only we had a primer

in how to look at art? We will be hosting residents from Beth Sholom Village this morning for services as well. Welcome all!

After services, we will enjoy a luncheon in the Evelyn Eisenberg atrium. There, too, Jewish art is all around, and Professor Duffy’s

explanations will enhance our appreciation of the Adler portraits of the Rabbi and the Cantor and the sculptures permanently on display

in that space… And of course, this more modern art is the neighbor of the impressive Brenner and Solberg exhibits of ancient coins and

Biblical Archaeological Artifacts bringing the earliest part of our national saga to life.

On Saturday evening, starting at 7:00 pm, we will enjoy a Chanukkah-themed art program. Seated in Brody auditorium, we will be

surrounded by Jewish art, in many media: painting, sculpture, ceramic work, paper cuts, textile art, glass art… all of which are inspired

by the themes of Judaism and the Jewish historical experience.

At the center of this wide-ranging collection will be a set of nine prints, by the

contemporary artist Luis Camnitzer (Uruguayan, b. 1937) entitled, Luis Camnitzer

Illustrates Martin Buber (1970). Bonhams auction house described these prints as, “an

artistic display of woodblock prints in which Camnitzer captured the essence of famed

Jewish philosopher Martin Buber’s practice and personality through these

engaging black and white woodcuts, creating a starkness that is characterized by his

portrait on some prints, an artistic version of Buber’s I and Thou.” Professor Duffy will

treat us to a slide lecture on “Chanukkah Themes in Art”, and then, jointly with Rabbi

Panitz, will dedicate the Camnitzer/Buber collection.

This collection is the gift of the Zetlin family, and is in memory of Henry Zetlin, the

founder of the Temple Israel Endowment Fund, and in honor of Betty Zetlin.

Chanukkah and art-themed refreshments will nourish the body and tantalize the

palette; Professor Duffy’s slide presentation and his illuminating insights will nourish the aesthetic spirit. And we are asking our guests

to bring their favorite menorah(s) and candles for their table to light together this evening, the seventh light of Chanukkah.

On Sunday, Dec. 9, from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm, we will open the Art Collection to the public, and Professor Duffy will be our docent

for the initial tour of the gallery. Many of the art works included here are the work of members of the Temple Israel family, both

professional artists and dedicated amateurs. We will also display newly-created ceramic art, the work of students from the Beth Sefer

Shalom, the religious school co-sponsored by Temple Israel, Congregation Beth El and the Kempsville Conservative Congregation. We

thank Betsy Karotkin for guiding these students in their ceramic creations. Additionally, we will have on display five works of visual art

by past winners of the Elie Wiesel Visual Arts Competition. We thank the Holocaust Commemorative Commission of the United

Jewish Federation of Tidewater for lending us these works of art, reflecting the response of the human spirit to the horrors of the

Holocaust. Among the student works on display will be one by a member of our own congregation, Lillian Auerbach.

Thanks to the Tidewater Jewish Foundation, for underwriting a portion of the costs of this festival of art. And to all of our donors,

thanks to you, we are able to offer all these programs to the general public, free of charge. All are invited and welcome!

THE JOYS OF THE ORDINARY

The holidays are behind us; and Chanukkah still over a

month in the future. A month of no holidays! What a

concept.

October/November coincides with the Hebrew month of

Cheshvan. Actually, that is a shortening of the original name

Marcheshvan, which simply means “eighth month”—a month

so undistinguished that it doesn’t have a descriptive name! I

interviewed some brother and sister k’lei kodesh to hear their

thoughts on the ordinary month of Cheshvan.

Some rabbis—truth be told—enjoy the “high” of the High Holidays, and are

not too thrilled with Cheshvan. Rabbi Jan Kaufman, now retired from a staff

position at the Rabbinical Assembly, expressed that thought while riffing on the

two meanings of “mar”, both the title of respect (Mr.) and a words for bitterness.

I am not a big Marsheshvan lover. When I was a kid we learned that

Mar had two dimensions, one to give poor Heshvan a title because it has

no holidays and of course the bitter. So from that Heshvan never left a

good taste for me. I love yontiff so I find Heshvan a let down. There is

some merit to having a normal routine but not enough to make me like

it. I can't wait until Hanukkah comes.

At the other end of the spectrum, some replies expressed unalloyed relief at the

arrival of Cheshvan. Holidays are a lot of work and a lot of stress for clergy.

Imagine, “performing” before people who, at some level, are not comfortable

being in worship services for hours on end, because it is not the pattern of their

lives, and then having them judge you from their place of discomfort.

Cantor Wally Schachet-Briskin, formerly of Ohef Shalom, expressed this

succinctly:

I love Cheshvan exactly for the relief that we survived another High Holy

Day season and we get a nice break of "normalcy" before Chanukah.

Most of my colleagues, however, emphasized the balance of plus and

minus in the return to the ordinary. Rabbi Israel Zoberman, a published poet as

well as the dean of our local cadre of working rabbis, added a poetic touch to this

pun on the word mar, whose opposite is “sweet”, matok:

Yes, there is a fully justified and welcomed relief flowing the awesome

(in more than one meaning) High Holidays. The crowds are now gone,

which is both positive and negative. Though it is in a sense MarCheshvan,

it is truly Mar-Matok.

Our nearest neighboring Reform colleague, Rabbi Rosalyn Mandelberg of

Ohef Shalom Temple in Norfolk, sounded the theme of “holidays are over; now

we can get to work”, a sentiment I have repeatedly experienced.

I would say the joy of Cheshvan is twofold; one is certainly the relief

of a successful High Holiday season, but the other is getting back to the

really important rabbinic work in which we are so privileged to be

engaged.

A MESSAGE FROM THE RABBI

Continued on Page 8


A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

A Holiday from Holidays

And now for a more light-hearted piece. I'm thinking about comments

made when the Rabbi and I got together for planning as all these Jewish

holidays approached. This past month we discussed plans for Shemini

Atzeret and Simchat Torah, whereas the month before, a real planning

event, we worked our way through Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kipper, and Sukkot -- phew!

Which gets me to the point of this column. I've heard people joke about needing a holiday

from the holidays! For those of us who get caught up in all the holiday activities, here's a

welcome reprieve. November offers us nothing but the wonderful secular holiday of

Thanksgiving. So I will give thanks and celebrate the satisfaction of Temple Israel having

done all these Jewish holidays so very well!

Minyan, Minyan, Minyan, my how I've talked it up in my Shabbat announcements so many

times to get y'all (hey, I'm a Southern Jew) to come to minyan. Growing up in Portsmouth

and belonging to, and living close to, Gomley Chesed, I was the freshly minted Bar Mitzvah

boy, err, man, who was called on when the minyan was short a man on a weekday afternoon.

I was the one they called especially as from my back door I could run from my backyard into

my neighbors back and front yard, then across the street and directly onto the shul grounds.

It couldn't have taken more than a minute or two at most from door to door! I fulfilled that

mitzvah many-a-time and I'm sure my presence was appreciated. That vignette of my early

manhood brings me to what happened on October 11th when arriving late to minyan by

about 30 minutes due to really bad traffic on I64. Anyhow, I tentatively came in so very late

and yet was made to feel so welcomed! Hey, I'm a 10, the tenth one to enter the room just in

time to allow for the Thursday Torah reading. So this got me to thinking. You all know

how we kiddingly judge something from a 1 to a 10, from lowest to highest. Oh well, here

goes again, come to minyan and maybe you to can be a 10. Or, better yet, come to perform

this mitzvah, be appreciated by those also present and engender within yourself a prayerful,

and Jewishly meditative feeling that can serve to give a nice touch in having a meaningful

life.

Here's wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving in the warm and loving company of family

and friends.

Shalom,

Jonathan Longman

A MESSAGE FROM THE RABBI - Continued from Page 2

Cantor David Proser, spiritual leader of our programming partner, KBH: Kempsville Conservative

Congregation, added a nuance to this answer, focusing on the value of Cheshvan to get us in touch with the whole

that is our goal:

Once Cheshvan is on the horizon, it is easier to plan, teach, and see where my efforts are best directed in

the "big picture."

Some of my colleagues reflect a heady—and inspiring—synthesis of traditional rabbinic training and New

Age sensibility. Rabbi Rebecca Kushner, who was training for the rabbinate while a member of our congregation

and now serves a congregation in the Mid-West, expressed this synthesis in her answer:

Cheshvan is a month of breathing space, a month for trying out different possibilities, considering

different stones. Developing new habits is like getting children to try new vegetables or accustoming

congregants to new melodies. Life changes one pebble at a time, Cheshvan unfolds one day at a time. It is

a whole month’s time to take deep, cleansing breaths and see how much new skin I can fit into.

Rabbi Kushner’s reply suggests that Cheshvan is a time to integrate our attempts to do something new in our

lives with the established pattern of who we are. Rabbi Barukh Rock, an Orthodox educator, expresses this

thought beautifully:

Cheshvan this year has to come to represent for me a time of integration. The chagim are so awesome, so

powerful for many reasons, one of which is because they are so experiential. However, understanding,

integrating the power of the experience, actualizing the power of the experience...that's the work of

Cheshvan (and the rest of the year). From this point of view Mar Cheshvan, instead of meaning bitter,

can perhaps be read… as Master(ing) the ideas and experiences of Tishrei during Cheshvan.

The most poignant answer was given by a former colleague and enduring friend, Hazzan Yael Fischman. She

was bereaved during the holidays—a tragic loss, her brother Ron murdered shortly before the Holiday.

Ron was killed "erev Erev": the day before Erev Rosh ha Shanah, and I will always remember feeling as

though I was singing his soul up to heaven as I lead the services (yes, I did!) that year

My colleagues have said a good part of what I would answer, if asked the same question. I would add some

insights as to how the ordinary and the extraordinary are complementary halves, yin/yang fashion, of our

experience of time. The holy is, by definition, the extraordinary, as opposed to the ordinary. But the ordinary

itself is infused with the potential for holiness… and so we are bidden to find the “hidden holiday” in the

every-day world of Cheshvan. That’s a compressed answer. If you would like to hear the thought fully, please

come to Shabbat services on November 3, and I will develop it in my sermon!

Chodesh tov—have a good month,

Rabbi Michael Panitz

Carol Mansh

WASN’T THAT NICE?

Thelma Oser was a real damsel in distress on her way to Kol Nidre

services when her sandal strap broke just as she got out of her car in the

Greek Church parking lot, forcing her to abandon her shoes. As she was

pondering how she could possibly navigate the many pebbles that line

that lot in her stocking feet to get to services, Jo Lisa Rosenblum and

Jesse Zedd arrived just in time to ferry Thelma right over to the temple.

Although Jesse offered to return her to car after services, Steve and

Nancy Schreier swooped right in, saving Thelma’s poor feet from that

treacherous walk back to her car! How nice that not one, but two, sets of

congregants reached out to help this damsel in distress!

Do you have a “nice” tale to tell about fellow congregants?

Send it to [email protected] so we can share it!

A Double Mitzvah - 5779

While waiting on line to pay for groceries to bring to temple for the

holiday food drive I befriended a young man who had one item to pay for.

Offering to give him my place on line, he nicely declined, telling me he

was in no rush, and had a basket full of groceries he had already paid for

waiting ahead of me.

As I unloaded my cans of vegetables and ramen noodles onto the cashier’s

counter I told him that I was shopping to add to the food drive my temple

had each year for the holiday. He asked what the name of the temple and

shared that he had just moved back from a stay in Jerusalem. He then

proceeded to tell me that while on an assignment, had been kidnapped by

the Palestine army, held captive, and was saved by Israeli soldiers. He was

kept in hiding in a small hotel in Jerusalem until our government reissued

his identification papers and passport that had been taken by the captors.

The Israeli government paid all of his expenses and kept him safe until he was able to leave. He then pulled out

his wallet, gave me a twenty-dollar bill, and asked that I contribute it to the food drive.

He is now stationed in Langley, thankful for his freedom, for Israel, and happy to be able to share our Mitzvah of

the holiday with us.

This year’s Torah Fund pin, “ATID,” means “future”

in Hebrew. The seminaries of the Conservative Masorti

Movement, which we support through Torah Fund, are

doing the great work that helps us navigate our future

together, as one people. And our sisterhoods provide the

social and educational networks – the extended family –

that helps us to move forward into our future as Jewish

women with confidence.ll funds raised strengthen Jewish

education by supporting scholarships and programming at

five Conservative /Masorti institutes of higher Jewish

learning across the world. Does Torah Fund have a place

in YOUR future?
