1 VOLUME 14 ISSUE 3 NOVEMBER 2015 AMESSAGE FROM THE ARCHIVES OF RABBI AGIN The Difference A Day Makes Every day is a new challenge. Every day is a time to turn over a new leaf. Every day you can start to learn, begin to live, and commence to love. Days are the opportunities that God gives us to reopen our lives to the possibilities of what we may become. Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great American essayist and poet, wrote, “It is one of the illusions that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. No man has learned anything rightly until he knows that every day is the most important day of his life.” What great words of wisdom, and how wise we would be to follow them. Do you have to wait for a Mothers Day to send flowers? If you see a nice tie, do you have to wait until Fathers Day to present it? Do you have to wait for a holiday to invite your family to dinner? Do you need a birthday as an excuse to go out with friends? Do you have to wait for a wedding anniversary to tell your mate how happy you are? This was all expressed in the words of Vahya Iben Pakudah, the medieval author who wrote in his book The Duties of the Heart: “Days are scrolls; write on them what you want to be remembered”. Or to say it in a contemporary way: Yesterday is a cancelled check. Tomorrow is a promissory note. Today is the only cash you have – spend it wisely.

The  Difference  A  Day  Makes    Every  day  is  a  new  challenge.    Every  day  is  a  time  to  turn  over  a  new  leaf.    Every  day  you  can  start  to  learn,  begin  to  live,  and  commence  to  love.      Days  are  the  opportunities  that  God  gives  us  to  reopen  our  lives  to  the  possibilities  of  what  we  may  become.    Ralph  Waldo   Emerson,   the   great  American   essayist   and  poet,  wrote,   “It   is   one  of   the  illusions  that  the  present  hour   is  not  the  critical,  decisive  hour.    Write   it  on  your  heart  that  every  day  is  the  best  day  of  the  year.    No  man  has  learned  anything  rightly  until  he  knows  that  every  day  is  the  most  important  day  of  his  life.”    What  great  words  of  wisdom,  and  how  wise  we  would  be  to  follow  them.    Do  you  have  to  wait   for  a  Mothers  Day  to  send  flowers?     If  you  see  a  nice  tie,  do  you  have  to  wait  until  Fathers  Day  to  present  it?    Do  you  have  to  wait  for  a  holiday  to  invite  your  family  to  dinner?    Do  you  need  a  birthday  as  an  excuse  to  go  out  with  friends?    Do  you  have  to  wait  for  a  wedding  anniversary  to  tell  your  mate  how  happy  you  are?    This  was  all  expressed   in   the  words  of  Vahya   Iben  Pakudah,   the  medieval  author  who  wrote   in  his  book  The  Duties  of   the  Heart:   “Days  are   scrolls;  write  on   them  what  you  want  to  be  remembered”.    Or  to  say  it  in  a  contemporary  way:         Yesterday  is  a  cancelled  check.    Tomorrow  is  a  promissory     note.     Today   is   the  only  cash  you  have  –  spend  it  wisely.

 A  MESSAGE  FROM  BOARD  TRUSTEE  SHELDON  HARRIS        Temple  Shalom.  What  a  gem!    I   have   belonged   to   many   temples/congregations.     Some   wealthy   with   cliques   and  politics  and  some  that  did  not  even  have  a  house  of  worship.    They  conducted  services  in  a  church  or  in  people’s  homes.      We  are  blessed  to  have  members  and  leaders  who  have  provided  us  with  a  wonderful  Temple   building.   What   would   many   of   us   have   done   to   have   such   a   Temple   when  meeting  in  a  church?      But,  that  is  only  a  small  part  of  what  makes  Temple  Shalom  a  gem.  The  most  important  ingredient  is  you  -­‐-­‐  the  members!    Sitting  in  the  Temple  on  Yom  Kippur  with  a  full  house.    Celebrating  Sukkot  outside  by  the  Sukkah  with  the  members  actively  participating  in  the  service   led  by  our  wonderful   Rabbi  Again.    What  we   lacked   in  numbers,  we  made  up  with  enthusiasm.    What  a  hamish  feeling.    This  is  what  makes  Temple  Shalom  a  gem!      I   strongly   feel   it   is   important   we   ensure   Temple   Shalom   continues   to   be   a   Jewish  presence  in  Charlotte  County.
