Rabbi’s Message
This is the sermon Rabbi Harari delivered at the Interfaith Thanksgiving Service, November 23, 2016.
Wishing you and yours a happy and de-LIGHT-ful Chanukah!
Friends,
We are gathered here tonight in
order to celebrate what is among
the most American of holidays:
Thanksgiving. In 1621, the
Pilgrims and the Native Americans
first celebrated a successful
harvest, and at the time of the
Civil War, President Abraham
Lincoln established a national day
of Thanksgiving to be observed each November.
To the present day, Americans, nationwide, set
aside one day each year in order to gather with
family and friends, over a feast, and give thanks
for the blessings in their lives. The problem is,
that this year, it feels like there is little for which
to give thanks. Our country is more divided than
it has been in years, and anger is turning to
violence on a regular basis. Stories of crime and
murder are on the rise, and there is a general
sense of malaise throughout the nation. In times
such as these, we are prone to focusing on the
negative. It is easy to get discouraged, and to lose faith in humanity. But by changing our
perspective, even just a few degrees- as it were,
we can begin to see the world, not as it is, but as
we wish it to be.
There is a story told about an apple tree that
stood next to a big oak and through its branches
the apple tree saw the stars in the sky. They
looked as though they were suspended on the
branches of the oak tree. “Oh God” said the little
apple tree, “I would love to be like the oak tree
and have stars on my branches”. God looked
down, smiled, and gently said “have patience,
little apple tree”.

(Service schedule continued) President’s Message
Last month, along with a
number of other congregants, I
saw the much-touted musical,
Hamilton. Not only was it
entertaining, I learned a great
deal about human nature and
politics, some of it that can
apply to BYBS. Here are ten points that I took
away from the performance.
1. Diversity strengthens any group. As you
probably already know, the cast of
Hamilton is multi-cultural, and it
strengthens this American story.
BYBS has a diverse, warm, welcoming,
and strong membership. I take pride in that.
2. As Hamilton said to Burr, "If you have
no opinion, what do you stand for?"
As we continue to go through changes at
BYBS, please feel free to let your opinion be
known. Someone is listening……..me, for one.
3. Making decisions behind closed doors is
rarely healthy.
During my term, I have tried to be as
honest and up-front as possible. Please hold me
to that standard.
4. Sometimes things live up to their hype.
Hamilton sure did, in my opinion.
I would be proud to stand behind our
claims at BYBS…….that is, except for the rumor
mill.
5. Sometimes believing you are right, is
not necessarily what is good for the group.
As we move toward our merger, it
becomes a challenge to stick with what we
know is our truth. Compromise is inevitable.
6. Sticking to old ways because it is
comfortable may leave you in the dust.
You may hear a new melody or two. You
can handle it!
7. Smart is sexy.
Just look at all our sexy members!

(President’s Message continued)
8. Where you come from is not as important as where you go.
We are South Siders, and we may yell "Play Ball" after the Star Spangled Banner is sung,
but we are definitely on the cutting edge of progressive Reform Judaism!
9. Fame is fleeting.
…so maybe it is not so important. However, would it be so bad for me to appear on the
ten dollar bill?
10. Joining our theater-going group is on-going and lots of fun. Talk to one of us.
We are talking about some fun outings in the future.

Sisterhood Happenings
On December 27, CAE and BYBS celebrated together at a combined Chanukah celebration.
Homemade latkes, dinner and music by the Klezmedics made for an enjoyable evening
Mark your calendars for February 12, 2017. Our annual book review will feature
a discussion of the book Protecting Paige by the author, Deby Eisenberg, who will
lead the discussion..
Deby has made the books available to us at a cost of $14.00. Please email me at [email protected] and I will save a book for you. Books are also available on Kindle through Amazon. I have been told that they are not available as yet at some of our local libraries.
I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Chanukah as we light our last candle and welcome a new
year. I wish you a year of health, happiness and peace.
SAVE THE DATE: How would you like to Kindle your creativity, sparking your imagination? Join
us at Kallah at OSRUI April 28-30. As co-chair, Donelle is working hard to make this a Kallah to
remember, so let’s see if we can send a large group to this wonderful weekend.

(Rabbi’s message cont. from page 1)
Time passed, the seasons changed, the apple tree grew beautiful blossoms, and everyone loved
them. Birds sat on the branches of the little apple tree, and as people walked by, they admired
the fragrant fruit and flowers. But the little apple tree still wanted to have stars on her
branches. God said “you have gifts already. Isn’t it enough to offer people shade, sweet
blossoms to smell, and branches for the birds to rest upon? Have patience”. In time the little
apple tree grew, and she produced many beautiful apples that people enjoyed eating. She still
offered her shade, her sweet blossoms, and her branches. But the little apple tree was still sad,
and she once again begged God for stars on her branches. God said “isn’t it enough that in
addition to all that you had before, you can now offer people your wonderful apples to eat?
Doesn’t that make you feel special?” But the little apple tree just frowned. She then started to
shake her branches and God caused a big wind to blow and an apple fell from the tree. When it
hit the ground, it split open. “Look” God said. “Look inside yourself. What do you see?” The
little apple tree squinted and looked closely at the apple. She saw a star right in the middle. “A
star! I have a star!” she cried, and God laughed and said “so you do have stars on your
branches. They’ve been there all the time but you just did not know it”.
What might we learn from this delightful story? We usually cut an apple by holding it upright
but in order to find its star, we have to turn it on its side and then cut it open. All we have to
do is change our perspective, and what seemed lacking might actually turn out to be
extraordinary. Certainly, a simple change in perspective is far from the answer to all of our
prayers. Just looking at the glass half full will not instantaneously alter the sad state of our
country. But perhaps, like the little apple tree in the story, a shift in perspective might allow us
to learn something new about ourselves, to find strength within us that we didn’t even know we
had, and perhaps even the courage to “be the change [we] want to see in the world,” as was
taught by Mahatma Gandhi.
20th Century Jewish philosopher, Martin Buber, speaks about another shift in perspective. He
writes: “the older we get, the greater becomes our inclination to give thanks, especially
heavenwards.” As many of us are aware, the older we get, the more quickly time seems to
pass. And the more quickly the moments elapse, the more we seem, as Buber suggests, to
gain a sense of appreciation, not only for those moments, but, as he teaches for those with
whom we share them. “We feel more strongly than we could possibly have ever felt before,” he
continues, “that life is a gift…But we also feel, again and again, an urge to thank our fellow,
even if he or she has not done anything special for us. For what, then? For being truly present
when we are together; for opening his eyes, and not mistaking me for someone else; for
opening her ears, and listening carefully to what I had to say to her; indeed for opening up to
me what I really wanted to address – a securely locked heart.”
How poignant these words seem, especially tonight, as we gather together in community. I
don’t know all of you personally, or maybe even most of you, and yet I find myself so very
grateful to be with you here tonight. Asked for what I give thanks this year, I can easily
answer, for this beautiful, rich and diverse community of people that gathers together, year
after year, in order to offer the best of each its members, their hearts, souls, and passion for
the values which we hold so dear, values of love, respect, and appreciation. If we are truly
present when we are together, if we open our eyes and do not mistake our fellow human
beings for others, if we open our ears and truly listen to what they have to say, then we might
open our securely locked hearts, and share of the love that is so desperately needed, and be
able to give thanks for one another and the support we can provide.

(Rabbi’s Message continued)
Chanie Gorkin, an 11th grader at a Lubavitch Orthodox Jewish high school, reflected on the state
of the world in a poem that she wrote for a school assignment. I share this poem with you now.
I’ll invite all those of you to my right to please read the poem aloud together. Poem read aloud
from top to bottom. Now, I’ll invite all those on my left to read the poem aloud again, but with
one difference: please read from bottom to top.
There’s a lot to be said for perspective… Our faiths teach us to love our neighbors as ourselves
and the Jewish tradition adds that while we aren’t required to complete the task, we aren’t free to
desist from it. Let us begin to truly see, hear, and embrace others. Together, with a different
perspective, we can begin to change the narrative of anger and violence in our country into one of
respect and of love. God willing, we can also find many new reasons to celebrate and give
thanks. May we be blessed to continue to gather together in community for years to come, and
may our community be blessed to share in of all of life’s bounty.
Amen
Rabbi Carmit Harari
Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don't try to convince me that
There's something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don't last.
And it's not true that
It's all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be attained
Only if one's surroundings are good
It's not true that good exists
I'm sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
It's all beyond my control
And you'll never in a million years hear me say
Today was a very good day

As we are wrapping up the first half of our
school year, I want to thank all the people who
have been volunteering their time and working
so hard for Beit AmiChai.
We just wrapped up a very successful latke
sale. It was a success because of all the time
and effort the amazing volunteers put into it.
Our incredible Chef Sigy Rafalovitz guided the
group of volunteers and we all learned a thing
or two along the way! Tommie Gbur lent her
expertise in putting this whole thing together
and did all the shopping! Thank you to the
most hard working kitchen team of Deb
Feingold, Quynh Kirschner, Gaby Larsen, Robin
Latman, Rick Bloomberg, Rabbi Harari, Jack
Levitt, Laura Eisenwasser, Gayla and Joel
Cahan, and Dan Greenberg. It was a pleasure
to work with each and everyone of them! And
of course thank you to Congregation Am Echad
for allowing us to use their kitchen.
I also want to extend my thanks to Art
Moeckler for handling the financial end of this
fundraiser.
And a huge thank you needs to go out to the
incredible room parents who always come and
work so hard for our school's holiday
celebrations. They made a great Chanukah
party for our kids! Our great group includes,
Sigy Rafalovitz, Deb Feingold, Sarah Goldberg,
Quynh Kirschner, Aliza Kaliski and Geoffrey
Wool, Gaby Larsen, Elizabeth Waller, Laura
Duda, Laura Mizrahi, Stacey Landsly, Robin
Latman, Joel Williams and Nancy Mays.
Finally I want to thank our 7th grade Sunday
School teacher, Becky Moeckler for once again
coordinating, shopping and delivering all the
gifts for the Chanukah Mitzvah project. This
project couldn't happen without the all the
hard work Becky puts into it!

Jewish law?
Are tattooing and body piercing permitted
in Jewish tradition?
May a non-Jew wear a tallit?
Does reading from a defective Holocaust
Torah scroll fulfill our obligation to read
Torah?
What is our obligation when a parent
instructs a child not to say Kaddish?
Does Judaism permit including the name
of a stepfather in one's Hebrew name?
Is a Jewish wedding ceremony permitted
in the absence of a civil marriage license?
Can Pyrex dishes be used for both meat
and milk?
Should a remarried woman recite Kaddish
for her deceased husband?
Can Kaddish be recited without a minyan?

"Messianic Jewish" organization?"
The programs will be at Am Echad
