RABBINIC REFLECTIONS We are in the midst of Elul, the month of spiritual preparation preceding the

High Holy Days. It is during these days, and those of the Holidays soon to be upon us, that we engage in an intense introspective analysis. There are many ways we have not lived up to our own potential. What mistakes have we made? How might we begin to rectify them?

T'shuval, true repentance, is a crucial human experience. By our very defini­tion, we are created by God as imperfect beings, capable of wrongdoings both great and small. But the ultimate glory of humanity is our God-given ability to learn, grow, and change. This is the process T'shuvab seeks to enhance.

Judaism teaches us that God, having created us, knows we will inevitably err. Our imperfections are intentional.

"What is the meaning of 'We are the clay, and You are our potter'? .. See now, if the potter makes a jar and leaues a pebble in it, then after the jar is fired, it will leak through the imperfection caused by that pebble. Liquid poured into the pot will seep out. But what caused the jar to leak? The potter who left the pebble in it! This was how Israel pleaded before God. 'Lord of the Uniuerse! You haue created in us an Euil inclination ... and it is that which has caused us now to sin, for You haue not remoued from us the instigator to sin. Remoue it from us, we pray You in order that we may perform Your will. God replied: 'This I will do in the Time to Come.'" (Shemot Rabbah)

In other words, God created in us both the y etzer tov (good inclination) and the y etzer rab (evil inclination), the ability to do both good and evil. The rabbis taught" that the temptation to do wrong is great. It is part of human nature, having been created by God. But so, too, is the y etzer tov, the good inclination. Our task as human beings is to work for the victory of the latter.

That takes a great deal of vigilance as evil quickly takes root when tolerated at all. Rabba taught, "In the beginning, the evil inclination is called a traveler, in the end, a guest, and in the very end, a man." In other words, initially, when accepted, wrongdoings seem to come and go. They happen periodically and do not seem sig­nificant. Over time, they grow to be ever more present and familiar. Finally, when allowed, they become part of the essence of a person.

It is we human beings who have ultimate control over our own y etzer rab. Although the inclination to do evil exists within us, we do not have to give in. We have the ability to overcome it and do good. In another midrash, we are taught, "If y ou will say, 'a man cannot watch over himself,' the Holy One replies, 'How many things are there in the world more difficult and more bitter than the yetzer rah (evil inclination)? And y ou sweeten them. For example, y ou don't have any thing more hitter than the lupine plant. Yet, y ou watch over it and boil it

THE ROTTENBERG CHORALE

TO JOIN BAR SINAI AT ADATH ISRAEL

CONGREGATION ON

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH FOR

JOINT CONGREGATIONAL SELICHOT

PROGRAM AND SERVICE

Continuing a tradition begun in 1995, Adath Israel Congregation of Lawrenceville, New Jersey will host this year's special Community Selichot Program and Service begin­ning at 8:30 on Saturday evening, September 12th. (Adath is located on Route #206, just 7/10 mile south of Route #95.) The joint program, under the auspices of Har Sinai Temple, Ahavath Israel, Brothers of Israel (Trenton), Adath Israel (Lawrenceville, NJ), Beth Chaim (Princeton Jct., NJ), Beth EI (East Windsor, NJ), and Kol Emet (PA), will feature a concert by The Rottenberg Chorale and Chamber Singers.

Selichot, a Hebrew word meaning "forgiveness," refers to the special penitential prayers recited by many Jews during the Rosh Hashanah season, is traditionally recited on the Saturday evening before the start of the Jewish High Holidays. The intimacy of the Selichot liturgy is a wonderful and fitting way to begin our preparations for these days of reflection and self-examination. We hope that coming together as a commu­nity to begin our individual "teshuvah" will also help each of us affirm our connection to the Jewish people.

• Rabbinic Reflections con't. from page 1 ...

seven different times in water in order to sweeten it as you want it. All the bitter things I created, you sweeten according

"to your needs. The yetzer rah is transmitted into your hands. All the more so, you can sweeten it.'" We work very hard to change the nature of all kinds of things in our world in order to make them fit our needs. When confronted with our own inclination to wrongdoing, we need to invest the same kind of time and energy in order to mold it into a positive force instead of a negative one. As the philosopher Viktor Frankl wrote, "It is a privilege of man to become guilty, and his responsibility to overcome guilt."

Our Rabbis taught that God does not expect from us more than we are capable of doing. God is the potter who created in us both the ability to do evil and the ability to do good. And therefore, God is clearly aware of our human limitations. However, God does expect us to work hard toward reaching our potential. Both we and our Creator are also keenly aware of the tools at our disposal to reshape that which we have been given. If we can create processes to refine the bitter nature of plants in order to use them, then we can certainly sweeten the "bitter" aspects of our own nature.

Inherent in humanity is the ability to repent ... to recognize when we have gone astray and to work for change so that our yetzer tov, our natural inclination to do good, will triumph. We have been given the tools. We have been given the time ... these High Holy Days. We have been given the knowledge. May each of us reach deep within and discover the strength and the will.

Alan, Jenny and Becky join me in wishing you and those you love shannah tovah u'm'tukah, a very happy and sweet new year!

The evening will begin with a social hour and refreshments at 8:30 PM. A Havdalah Service is planned for 9:30 which will be followed at 9:45 by the concert by the uplifting and enter­taining Rottenberg Chorale and Chamber Singers, led by Dr. Elayne Robinson Grossman. The Program will conclude with the Selichot Worship Service at 10:45.

One of New York's preeminent mixed vocal ensembles, the Rottenberg Chorale and Chamber Singers has performed the music of the Jewish people with passion and joy throughout the tri-state area as well as internationally. It is known for its innovative and entertaining repertoire which includes many works commissioned for them. The Chorale's purpose is to per­form Jewish music that brings joy and pride to their audiences. With its unique style, the ensemble helps to preserve and develop the music of the Jewish people from many times and places, both traditional and contemporary, favorites and world premieres.

Dr. Elayne Robinson Grossman of Lawrenceville has served as the Chorale's Conductor and Music Director for the past 22 years. Dr. Grossman, twice awarded the Rubin Scholarship for music study in Israel, is a respected lecturer, author, composer and singer. Dr. Grossman earned her Bachelor's degree in voice from Brooklyn College and both a Master's degree and Doctor of Education degree from New York University.

Support for this program was received from the United Jewish Federation of Princeton Mercer Bucks.

HAR SINAI GUIDE TO THE HIGH HOLIDAYS

ELUL: The Jewish month of Elul immediately precedes Rosh Hashannah. This time period is seen as one of spiritual and emotional preparation for the Days of Awe. The shofar is tra­ditionally sounded each day during Elul to help awaken us to the religious significance of the forthcoming holidays. Our focus during this time should be on personal renewal as we review our actions during the past year, struggle with who we really are, and strive to become the person we hope to be. Crucial to the process is a commitment to work for growth and change.

SELICHOT: Selichot literally means "forgiveness." It is also the name of the hauntingly beautiful preparatory service, tra­ditionally held at midnight on the Saturday evening before Rosh Hashannah. Midnight is not only considered a mysteri­ous, mood-setting time, but was believed by the Rabbis to be the time when the Gates of Heaven were most open to receiv­ing the prayers of the truly repentant. When Erev Rosh Hashannah (the Evening of Rosh Hashannah) occurs on Sunday, then Selichot is observed the week prior. The idea of the Selichot service, and indeed of the entire month of Elul is simple. One would not run a marathon without practicing for weeks beforehand and stretching properly just before the race, and one would not go to a crucial meeting with the boss total­ly unprepared; so too, we do not enter this season without advance work. It is extremely difficult to enter Rosh Hashannah services with no spiritual preparation beforehand and to suddenly be able to pray .... let alone to feel a sense of holiness, awe and forgiveness. We need to warm up, to put ourselves in the mood, to begin the penitential process prior to our entry into the Sanctuary on Erev Rosh Hashannah.

ROSH HASHANNAH: Rosh Hashannah literally means "Head of the Year" and is observed on the first day of Tishrei, which falls this year on Monday, September 21. On Rosh Hashannah, we begin to take a personal spiritual inventory. What have we accomplished? How have we grown? Where do we fall short? How might we change? What ought our goals be for the year just beginning? We work to reestablish our relationships with God and other human beings, and to recon­cile with both. The continual sound of the Shofar awakens us to the need for change and reminds us to pay attention to the message of these Holy Days. The Rosh Hashannah liturgy focuses our attention on the three themes of the holiday: Malchuyot, Zichronot, and Shofarot.

Malchuyot comes from the root "melech", meaning king­dom or sovereignty. On Rosh Hashannah, we focus on God as being the King of Kings, the ultimate Divine Ruler. We owe our complete allegiance to God, not to human rulers.

Zichronot from the same root as "yizkor" means remem­brance. The High Holy Days are the time in which we remem­ber our covenant with God. As members of this unique covenanted community, we have responsibilities. We do not always live up to those responsibilities, and thus this time is given to us to make amends and begin anew. This is also the time when God remembers us and promises to act toward us with mercy rather than strict justice.

Shofarot, the third crucial concept of Rosh Hashannah, refers to the Torahitic belief that the shofar will herald the coming of the Messiah. For us, the shofar is a reminder that there will be a better age, a time when humanity and God will be fully reconciled and the world will be the better place for which we labor so diligently. Our efforts, both on these High Holy Days, and throughout the year, will bear fruit. We will ultimately succeed.

3

YOM KIPPUR: Perhaps the most beautiful metaphor for Yom Kippur is that of a tallit in time. Yom Kippur covers the con­fusions of the year. Underneath this most holy tallit, the mate­rial world is invisible for a brief moment, and it is possible to look towards God. It is a moving, spiritual experience ... .if we choose to pick up the tallit.

Yom Kippur follows ten days after Rosh Hashannah and begins with the singing of Kol Nidre. Kol Nidre, composed in the ninth century, asks God to forgive and annul all vows and oaths made to God, and all transgressions committed during the year. The theme of introspection and self judgement con­tinues throughout the day. We pray that when the Gates close at the end of the N eilah service, as Yom Kippur itself draws to a close, we will have been forgiven.

Yom Kippur is Biblical in origin. The Torah describes it as a day of atonement, a time to practice self-denial and a day to refrain from working. It is the Shabbat of all Shabbatot, a time of rest and intense reflection. Originally, this was a sacrificial observance, with the High Priest making expiation on behalf of himself, his household, and all Israel. At the conclusion of the ritual, God's ineffable name was pronounced, thus invoking all of the Divine Power to forgive the people. Following that pro­nouncement, the people would prostrate themselves, reciting what has become the second line of the Shema: "Baruch shem kavod malchuto l'olam va'ed."

With the destruction of the Temple and the end of sacri­fices, the theology of Yom Kippur evolved. No longer was sac­rifice seen as necessary for forgiveness. If the erring individ­ual made peace with those wronged, made appropriate restitu­tion, there was true intention to change, and the individual participated in the prayer and the self-denial required (on Yom Kippur, food, drink, washing/anointing, leather shoes and sex­ual relations are prohibited as they cause us to focus on the physical rather than the spiritual side of our nature), then f9r­giveness is forthcoming.

Fasting is required of all Jews 13 years and older, unless prohibited by a doctor. Younger children are encouraged to fast for a short time, but not for the full 25 hour fast.

We are taught, "Let us wholly regret our sins, for in that hour, one really does regret them. No regretting helps after death-but it does help now."

------RELIGIOUS SCHOOL REPORT

A TIME OF TOGETHERNESS

Art Finkle, Educational Director

What is your clearest memory of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur? Was it the sumptuous food? Apples and honey? The home preparations? The first time you ingested Slivovitz? The special time when your Dad and Mom took off from work? The gathering of your family?

Whatever your memory, you now have the great opportu­nity (mitzvah) to pass on special memories of the Days of Awe to your children. In keeping with the theme of experiencing Judaism and making it fun, we have several suggestions to spice up your celebration for the Jewish Year of 5759 (no mil­lennium problem here!).

- Make a special dinner with all the fixin's. Apple and honey symbolize the hope for sweetness in the new year. The round challah shows that these holidays are special in the Jewish calendar and in your lives. Make sure to say the bless­ings over the holiday candles; the wine (borei-pri-ha-gafen); the challah (ha-motzi-Iechem min a-aretz); the apples (borei pri ha-aytz); and honey (borei metukah ud'vash). Finish by saying the Shehechiyanu, a special thinks to God for allowing us to celebrate special days.

Barukh atah adonai, eloheinu melekh ha'olam, shehecheyanu, v'kiyimanu, v'higi'anu, lazman hazeh.

-Around the dinner table, each take turns: "I like Rosh Hashanah because "

- Buy a new wardrobe for the family. New wardrobes denote special times and it will help you feel the importance of this season.

- Devote the day with your family to doing something together. I have often heard that families in the word-a-day world often do not even eat a meal together. Eat together. Go to the park. Take a ride. Visit a friend or a relative - - this is a mitzvah.

- Bake a cake for the birthday of the world. Sing Happy Birthday to the world. Then, make a wish that you did not do last year but will do this year (pediatric repentance).

- Buy a Shofar and use it as a decoration. The Shofar is an ancient instrument that was used at least three thousand years ago and is still used for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. You can buy a stand to display it. You can even learn how to play it! (Call me. I'll show you.)

-If you have a family gathering, begin a family tree. Get your aunts and Uncles to talk about the family. In a few years, they won't be around and you will not have them as a resource.

- Really enjoy these holidays. They can make a listing positive impression on your children, on you and on your fam­ily. It is the season of joy; of hope; of love and friendship.

Susan Dorfman, our faculty and I wish all of you, "A happy, healthy, fulfilling new year".

A TIME OF NEW BEGINNINGS Susan Dorfman, Assistant Education Director

CAJE .. .In August, I attended my first "CAJE" (the Conference on Alternatives in Jewish Education), representing Har Sinai. This year over 1400 Jewish educators from as far away as England and Israel came to San Antonio, Texas, with a com­mon goal: to learn together and go home ready to inspire in our youth a love for Judaism, our people, and our way of life. This year's theme, "If You Will It, It Is No Dream," relates to the 50th anniversary of the founding of Israel, but there is also a deeper meaning. The dream of keeping our Jewish heritage alive can be a reality if we plant the seeds of the love of Jewish learning in our children. Our tiny acorns today can be the great oaks of the Jewish people tomorrow. I wish all of you a "Shan a Tova" at this time of new beginnings for our entire Har Sinai family.

Torah and Tots ... The first in our Torah and Tots program series is scheduled for Saturday, October 9th, beginning at 9:15 am. It will focus on our joyous celebration of Sukkot. Come join Rabbi Koshner, our song leader, Susan Sacks, and our craft master, Bev Levy, in our outdoor Sukkah (weather permitting) for a fun-filled, meaningful program for your favorite tot. This program is open to Temple members and their friends. Please invite your non-Temple friends who have children of preschool age. If you have a preschooler at home, please make sure that we know it! An invitation and registration form has already been mailed! If you have not yet received a letter describing· our TNT program, please call the Temple office.

Our Chai High .. .is currently accepting registration. Be a part, of our community's Chai High School, now entering its 5th year! This is an exciting post-confirmation program for our High School juniors and seniors. We will meet once a month on Sunday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 in the homes of class­mates for lively discussions. The schedule also includes a great year-end field trip. We invite you to register as soon as possible. If you have friends who may be interested, please let us know. Call the Temple office if you or a friend would like more information or a brochure and registration form.

HIGH HOLIDAY SERVICES =======

Our Religious Practices Committee has been very busy this summer working with the Rabbi and Cantor to respond to the needs of our growmg congr� gation in planning this year's High Holy Day Services. Again, this year, we are pleased to offer a variety of services for chil­dren of different ages. We are con-fident that these options will help make the holidays meaningful for all who participate. Please consult the "Worship Services" box on PAGE ONE for a complete schedule of September Holiday Services. Please note that while the Yom Kippur Kol Nidre Services will take place at 6:00 PM and 8:15 PM this year, there will be ONLY ONE SERVICE on Erev Rosh Hashanah, at 7:45.

TICKETS: Are available for members at no charge and are required for all Adult Services in the Sanctuary. H you have not yet requested tickets, please call the Temple office. TICKETS ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR CHILDREN OF HIGH­SCHOOL AGE AND YOUNGER.

FAMILY SERVICES: Will be held at 2:00 PM on both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. These Services are designed for . the families of PreschooVPrimary Grade children and no tickets are required. Parents and grandparents are invited to attend. The Service is led by our rabbi and cantor and will include a story. An Oneg Hag reception, sponsored by our Sisterhood, will follow in the Social Hall at which the children will be invited to make "Mr. Appleheads."

JUNIOR CONGREGATION FAMILY SERVICES: Will be held at 11:00 AM in the Social Hall on both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

1:s

Planned for the children in Grades 4 through 7, these Services are led by Dan Finkle and Susan Sacks, our Religious School's Music Specialist. Our high school aged students and their families will also help to lead the Service. Rabbi Koshner will attend for part of the service and share a brief sermonette. A Torah reading and Shofar service will be included and the

. service is scheduled to conclude at the same time as the main service in the Sanctuary. Parents and grandparents are invited and encouraged to attend and to sit with their children.

SUKKOT: Our seven-day Fall harvest Festival begins SUNDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4th with a special "Picnic In The Sukkah" (at 6:30 PM) and Erev Sukkot Service (at 7:30). Families are invited to bring fruit, vegetables, and hom�made

. decorations with them and to help decorate the outdoor Sukkah during the evening. Har Sinai's "traditional celebration" of Sukkot will be held on FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9th at the Sukkot Family Dinner in the Social Hall at 6:15 PM. A flyer and reservation form for this event will be found in the September Publicity Mailing. The' Sukkot Family Service will begin in the Sanctuary at 7:30. Immediately following the Service, "Sundaes In The Sukkah" will be served as the special Oneg fare in the Social Hall.

=======HIGH HOLIDAY INFORMATION =======

CEMETERY SERVICES Our annual Memorial Park Services will be held on Sunday afternoon, September 27th. This beautiful service is especially planned for those members of our congregation whose loved ones have been buried at these cemeteries. It is a meaningful and comforting experience and most appropriate for this time of year when we feel especially close to our departed loved ones. Services will take place at 1 :30 pm at Greenwood Cemetery and at 2:30 pm at Ewing Cemetery. There is no more beautiful way to recall our loved ones at this season than to give tzedakah in their names and to join with our congregation in marking the meaning of their lives in this special Memorial Service.

BABY-SDTING SERVICES A free baby-sitting service will again be available for parents with younger children for the morning service on Rosh Hashanah, for the EARLY Kol Nidre on Yom Kippur Eve, and for every service on Yom Kippur day except the Family Service. We hope that this will make it possible for more members of the congregation to be able to attend services on these important days.

Please .. . nursery school through age nine only. Please bring any refreshments your child will require. Also, please register your youngster(s) for this service prior to the holidays if possible. Just call the Temple office at 392-7143.

HIGH HOLY DAYS HUNGER PROJECT Our Social Action Committee is again conducting its annual High Holy Days Hunger Project. Last year, Jewish congregations across the country donated over 200 tons of food to their local food banks and soup kitchens. This year, we know that the response will be even better.

At Rosh Hashanah Services, please take home a shopping bag. Inside the bag will be a donation envelope for MAZON: A Jewish Response to

Hunger. On Yom Kippur, 'when we voluntarily fast, we remember those who go without food so many days of their lives. We hope that each of you will support MAZON with a contribution during the Ten Days of Repentance, the days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Please bring the bag back to Temple on Yom Kippur filled with food for the poor in our community. Our

Social Action Committee will ensure that all donations reach the needy in our area. Thanks for your support.

HIGH HOUDAY ApPEAL Har Sinai continues to address both the immediate physical' needs of the synagogue and the long term financial realities of maintaining the strength of our Jewish institution through our Annual High Holiday Appeal.

As always, one half of the monies collected will be allocated to the improvement of the physical structure. The remaining one half of the funds will be invested in the Endowment Fund. The ultimate goal of our Endowment Fund will be realized when the income generated impacts significantly on our dues structure and programming. Har Sinai's ability to achieve these goals depends on every family's response to this appeal. Please pledge as generously as possible in support of Har Sinai Temple.

Thank you . . . . . . . . . . . Dr. Howard Welt, President

FAMILY SUKKAH BillI DING & DECORATING HEAR YE! HEAR YE! Announcing Har Sinai's FOURTH Annual Home Sukkah Building and Decorating Contest!

Last year more than 15 Har Sinai Temple families ate each Sukkot meal in their very own Sukkah, built and decorated with their own individual creativity. Following the meal, families lingered in the Sukkah into the evening, laughter and singing filling the air.

For minima] cost, Har Sinai will again this year make available an easy-to-build (and store) Sukkah kit containing the pieces and instructions necessary to put together the frame for your family's own Sukkah. In order to ascertain what supplies will be needed, we need to know how many members will be interested. The cost to purchase a suk.kah kit for Temple members is $60.00. H you wish to participate in this project, please call Chairman Ron Wexler at 2 15-321-7983 or the Temple office. The kits will be available beginning Sunday, September 27th.

Prizes will be awarded for the most creative Sukkah in many different categories (tackiest, most beautiful, best hand-made decorations (by children), unique wall covering, etc.).
