When I was preparing to write my first article for the B'nai Zion voice, I was struck by all the firsts and new happenings not only in my life, but in our synagogue's and in Judaism itself. As Jews, we are fortunate to have many

types of New Years, and in our synagogue we also are fortunate to constantly find new firsts and ideas to make our congregation vibrant, exciting and relevant. This year you have a new (very nervous) president, and our synagogue has been truly blessed with a fantastic new Rabbi. As we prepare for our religious New Year, we cannot forget to thank those who have done so much for our congregation. Todah, Joel, for the wonderful job you have done for the past two years, and a huge todah to Reuben, Lester, and the whole B'nai Zion staff and volunteers for just about everything. There are many challenges ahead for us in this new year, but with all of your help and participation, we can meet them as they come our way. Please, if you see a problem or have one, I am just a phone call away (902-5134). So as together we approach the High Holidays and listen to the sound of the Shofar as it calls us to action, we remember our responsibilities to our family, to our synagogue, to our community, and to our country. May this year truly be a blessed one for all of us.

La Shana Tova, Lynn

HIGH HOLY DAYS

September 2010 BZ Voice 3 3

From the Rabbi From the Rabbi From the Rabbi Rabbi David CantorRabbi David Cantor

On October 9, 1961, A. Mose Siskin suggested that B’nai Zion — since May 11, 1888 an Orthodox institution — should change its affiliation to the Con-servative Movement, and become — as of 1962 — a member of the United Synagogue. Forty-seven years later we should, as a community and individuals, ask ourselves the following questions:

1. What is — exactly — the “Conservative Movement”?

2. What is “Conservative Judaism”?

3. What is a “Conservative Jew”?

Over the next few months, I intend to dedicate this space to addressing these questions, not only because I believe them to be vital to the continued exis-tence of Conservative synagogues and institutions, but because I believe that there is a fundamental value to be found within Conservative Judaism and Con-servative Jewish practice, that this value is a precious gift to Conservative Jews,

and because I suspect that most Jews who self-identify as Conservative would be hard pressed to explain exactly what it means to be a Conservative Jew with-out reference to being a midpoint be-tween Orthodox and Reform.

To address these questions fully, we will first need to determine the meaning of the following logically prior con-cepts:

a. Jew

b. Judaism

c. Conservative

d. Movement

Let’s begin with what (or who) is a Jew.

According to Rabbinic Law, a person is a Jew if (a) their mother was a Jew, or (b) the person has been interviewed by a Rabbinic court, accepted upon them-selves the “Yoke of the Command-ments,” and been accepted by the Court as a Jew.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: THIS MONTH IN JEWISH PRACTICE

September 4: Late night Selichot Service to prepare ourselves for judgment.

September 8: Preparations are made for the Sabbath meal before Rosh Hashanah begins, so as not to “insult” the holiday.

September 11: Shabbat Shuvah. Once upon a time rabbis only delivered a sermon on two days a year; the other day was the Saturday before Passover.

September 12: Gedaliah, the Jewish governor appointed by the Babylonians to administer Judea after the fall of the Second Temple, was assassinated by a fellow Jew. Some have suggested fasting on this day to mourn the murder of Yitzhak Rabin.

September 18: Yom Kippur is the only time we are permitted to fast on Shabbat: No eating, drinking, bathing, cohabitating, comfortable shoes, deodorant or makeup. Put aside the fancy dress: the traditional outfit is the kittel, a white garment also worn at one’s wedding and funeral.

September 22-28: Time to trade in the house for a tent. For seven nights the Sukkah is your home-instead-of-home, where you eat, sleep, relax and entertain.

September 30: The sadness of Shemini Atzeret’s Yizkor fades into the festivity of Simchat Torah. No more holidays until December.

Looking at this definition in terms of religious affiliation, something seems to be missing, and that something is belief. Most religions — it would be fair to say — include some component of belief in the tenants of the religion. One would be hard-pressed, for example, to find a practicing, self-identifying Christian who denies the existence of God. By definition, a religion is “belief in, wor-ship of, or obedience to a supernatural power or powers considered to be di-vine or to have control of human des-tiny” (Collins English Dictionary. 8th ed., Complete & unabridged ed. Glasgow : HarperCollins, 2006).

By way of contrast, this definition seems to fit in quite nicely in terms of nationality. According to American Law, a person is an American Citizen if (a) they are born in the United States or (b) one of their parents was an Ameri-can Citizen, or (c) the person has been interviewed by the USCIS, accepted upon themselves the “Oath of Alle-giance,” and been accepted by the US-CIS as an American Citizen.

Next month, we will explore the rela-tionship between belief, being a Jew, and our understanding of Judaism.

CONSERVATIVE JUDAISM

BZ Voice September 2010 4

Rabbi David Alexander Cantor thought he wanted to be a lawyer. He loved debate, his father was a lawyer and it seemed a reasonable career path. The study of law and intricacies of legal argument were engaging, but the practice of the law left him empty. A question posed by a friend about what he

would do, if given the choice, led him to the realization that he would choose to be a rabbi. The journey leading to this realization began years earlier. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada, Rabbi Cantor’s family was nominally observant. They attended shul three times a year, observed Pesach, said the Kiddish and blessings over the Challah, and lit candles on Friday

evenings. When he was studying for his Bar Mitzvah, Bar and Bat Mitzvah students were only required to attend Shacharit but Rabbi Cantor would regularly stay for the Musaf service. He loved to hear the cantor and the choir. Rabbi Cantor had a good voice and, after his Bar Mitzvah, he was asked to join the intermediate choir. His voice was to play a role in his relationship with his future wife. In high school, Rabbi Cantor was involved in debate and participated in the Manitoba Youth Parliament held in the Manitoba Legislative Assembly in Winnipeg. The program is similar to the Model United Nations in the United States. It was at the Manitoba Youth Parliament he met Christine. They soon began dating. On their first date, he took her to synagogue. When he sang in the choir, Christine would sit in the sanctuary with his great-uncle Ben. Accompanied by the sound of his voice, Christine began to fall in love with the religion. She became a Jew-by-choice and chose the name Kedma. Rabbi Cantor practiced law briefly before applying to the pre-rabbinic program at the University of Judaism in Bel Air, California. Moving to the United States, after a lifetime in Winnipeg, provided a bit of a culture shock for the young couple. One of their biggest shocks was the lack of universal health care. Adjusting to a slightly different sensibility in terms of humor took a little time as well. Arriving at rabbinical school with a solid command of Hebrew would have allowed his studies to proceed more quickly and, if Rabbi Cantor had it to do over again, he would have studied Hebrew intensively from a young age. There was no doubt, however, that becoming a rabbi was the right choice. After graduating from the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, he served congregations in Bangor, Maine and Bridgeport, Connecticut. Chattanooga shares wonderful similarities with the community in Bangor. In a small community everyone knows each other and Shabbat services are attended regularly. In contrast to a large community, in a small community it is not possible to be a Jew by default but requires an active commitment. It is a commitment he shares with B’nai Zion and the larger community.

Rabbi Cantor and Kedma's children, Joash 12, Avniel 9, Shoshana 6, and Devora 5, are becoming part of the community as well. They love the playground next door to their home but not the mile walk to shul. The humidity has been a bit of a surprise as they become accustomed to the climate. Rabbi Cantor has recently started learning to play the guitar. The Cantors love Chattanooga and delight in learning more each day. Welcome Rabbi Cantor, Kedma, Joash, Avniel, Shoshana, and Devora! We are grateful you are here we look forward to knowing you better in the months and years ahead.

Once everything is picked up and put away, I start the real work. I sit at my desk with some relaxing music and begin to go through the mound of paper, piece by piece. Basically I ask myself if this piece of paper requires some sort of action. If the answer is yes, I invoke the two minute rule: if it takes two minutes to complete, I do it immediately. In just a few short hours, the pile can be whittled down to nearly nothing. While it all sounds very mechanical, I find it to be a wonderful exercise. I can contemplate the entire year --from the scribbled Wal-Mart shopping list to the curriculum spreadsheets to the order from several Shabbat Mishpacha services. Each of these items holds a memory that is brought back to consider. It’s amazing to savor those recollections for a few seconds. We can learn great lessons from our memories. However, there comes a time to file it away, and begin our year with a clean slate. Well, the desk is clear (mostly) and I’m very excited to start this year off with a clean slate. I look forward to spending time with all of you over the next month at BSI, Shabbat and Holiday services and just catching up in the parking lot.

Cleaning my office Every June I begin my summer with a truly holy task: cleaning my office. Now, this may not seem like a “holy task” to others, but to me it is a wonderful process that provides great reflection over the past year. I will take all of the random papers lying around and make one large stack on my desk. It usually includes old attendance sheets, copies of various Torah readings and service parts, catalogs, yet-to-be-filed forms, budget information and much, much more. No scrap is too large or too small. Once the mound is completed, I start to move around my office. I start at the door and go over every surface. I begin by putting away books that have been out since High Holy Days, pens that have piled up in all kinds of random places and clothes that have been hanging in the office for months. After this, I take a few minutes and read through David Allen’s book “Getting Things Done”. It’s an excellent resource for staying organized. His workflow diagram is a holy document in my office.
