Rabbi Anthony Fratello
We had just barely finished the service last, and
were just beginning to dig into bagels and lox when
the first questions were posed to me, “Rabbi… when
are we going to do this again?” “Rabbi, I too want to
become an Adult B’nei Mitzvah!”
A little background: On May 20th of this year, we
celebrated as 10 Adults from our congregation
ascended the Bema to celebrate becoming B’nei
Mitzvah. They were of different ages, came from
different backgrounds, each motivated by their own
desires and goals. And, yet, on that glorious morning
in May, they all came together and took their rightful
places. Not just on the Bema of their own
congregation, but as Adult Jews in our Community.
I know many of you shared with us on that day; I
know many of you felt as moved as I.
I cannot tell you with certainty when the concept of
Adult B’nei Mitzvah first came about. I can tell you
it was more than 46 years ago! I know that for
certain as my mother was in the First Adult B’nei
Mitzvah Class at Temple Beth David, the synagogue
I grew up in in Southern California, and that was a
year or two before I was born. To this day you can
ask my mother about the experience, and she will tell
you how moving and powerful it was. Many of us—
dare I say most of us—go through this process at
12/13. Some of us do it by choice, still others out of
obligation. For Adults, however, becoming B’nei
Mitzvah themselves, on their own terms, is
something indescribable. It is a moment of
transcendent power.
So here and now I can answer that question posed to
me; “Rabbi... when are we going to do this again?”
Well, we’ve already begun. Our next Adult B’nei
Mitzvah Cohort will start this Fall. The program will
work as it has in the last two iterations; our wonder-
ful Miriam Schaffer will teach the first part of the
class, with guest appearances by myself and Cantor
Ovadia. During that time students will have an
opportunity to learn some Hebrew, to discover more
about our history and tradition, and to gain deeper
insights into our traditions and texts. During the
second phase I will direct our study towards our
group celebration in the Spring of 2020.
For those of you who might want to participate, we
will be having an informational meeting on
Wednesday, September 26, at 7:00 PM. If you have
questions before that time feel free to contact me. I
look forward to seeing you and guiding you on the
next step of your Jewish Journey.

Cantor Judith Borden Ovadia
Rabbi and I were discussing how strange it feels that
we are practicing the Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur liturgy again already. Seriously, wasn’t
it just a few weeks ago that we broke the fast after
Neilah? Despite the fact that we are excitedly
anticipating Rosh Hashanah, I want to tell you about
a few events that will occur after the holidays are in
our rear-view mirror.
First of all, so many of you have come up to me in
the past year to express a desire to spend some time
together. I think it’s about time for “Coffee With The
Cantor,” an opportunity to meet and get to know each
other, and just visit for a little while. I will provide
the refreshments; you provide the company. Join me
at the Temple on Thursday, October 11, at 10:30 am.
Our delightful Adult Volunteer Choir, “Kol Simcha,”
will resume rehearsals on Tuesday, October 30, at
7pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to sing, learn
some new music, and get to know fellow congre-
gants. We rehearse almost every Tuesday night
(check the temple calendar) from November through
April and we sing during services at the third Friday
night of the month during that season. There is no
audition, and no particular musical talent necessary.
We only ask that you commit to rehearsal and
service attendance.
During the High Holidays, congregants of all ages
will be coming up to the Torah to leyn or chant the
Torah portion. Others will recite the blessings before
and after the Torah or Haftarah readings. If you
would like to learn how to do this, or you already
know and would like the honor of leyning during
services, please contact me via email
([email protected]) and let me know.
We invite congregants to take part in our worship
and Torah reading throughout the entire year.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions or would like further information about
any of the above. I look forward to sharing a
meaningful High Holy Day season with you all.
May you be inscribed for blessing in the New
Year!

Lisa Cuthbertson
I cannot believe that it’s been a year since I stood up and said, “I am that Jew”; and I asked everyone to be that
“building a Temple for tomorrow, ensuring our children’s children have a place to call home Jew”. So, now
it’s a year later and so much has been accomplished; and at the same time, I’m excited for what 5779 will
bring.
Most of you know that this year has been filled with its fair share of sadness for my family, but also so much
joy; and I know I’m not alone in that statement. But maybe that’s my point – I was never alone; and I have the
community that I adore to thank for that fact. I couldn’t let this year end without letting you know how grateful
I am for all of the tremendous support and love that you have shown and continue to show my family – every
single day.
So, as we are bringing 5778 to a close, I am personally reflecting on what Jew I really was this past year. Was
I good wife and mother? Was I a good friend? Was I a good leader? A good follower? Ultimately, I ask was I a
good Jew – was I what I was supposed to be? At the end of day, that’s all that really matters. But more so, just
because we’re at the end of a year, doesn’t mean we stop trying to be the Jew we’re supposed to be.
I can’t wait to see you and your family at the High Holy Days. I can’t wait to tell you what a tremendous year
we had at Temple Shaarei Shalom; but I also can’t wait to tell you what our focus areas will be for this coming
year.
On behalf of Garry, Mike, and myself – we wish all of you and your families a happy, healthy and sweet new
year.

Joshua Ackman MAJE
This time of year is where some people discuss “new be-
ginnings,” since, after all, Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish
New Year. Others will discuss that this is a time to reflect
on the people we were and work towards being a better
person next year. I would like to take this time to discuss
the concept of Teshuvah, typically translated as
“repentance,” but more
accurately, “return.”
To me, the best aspect of Judaism is its unwavering
acceptance of imperfections and change. While there may
be different interpretations of ritual practice in Judaism,
we all agree on this one principal- we are all still Jews.
Plain and simple, a Jew is a Jew. If my path leads me
astray for a while, I can always return. To paraphrase a
line from “Shrek,” Judaism is like an Onion- layer upon
layer upon layer. Losing one layer, doesn’t discount
everything, it only leads to the opportunity to find another.
If we treated other people with the same kind of
unconditional love and acceptance as Judaism, the world
would be a much better place. During the High Holiday
season, we put a lot of emphasis on the apology- the
righting of past wrongs. Even our prayers discuss the
transgressions we have made this year.
Judaism believes that repairing a mistake or apologizing
for behavior is always an option, no matter the situation.
The responsibility lies in our hands; the work of repair
requires effort but is not impossible and has a value in and
of itself. While focusing on the apology is a very
important aspect, I think we do a disservice by not
focusing on the flip side- the forgiving. Our thoughts
during this holiday season is asking for the ability to right
our wrongs, which can only be accepted by the person
who receives our apology. Judaism teaches that each
person is made in the image of God, a concept known as
B’tzelem Elohim. If we are made B’tzelem Elohim then
we all possess the ability to forgive. Take this time to, not
just think about the missteps you may have taken, but re-
flect on the opportunities you might have missed where
someone else tried to atone.
With the school year starting as well, our students do not
just recite prayers, recognize Hebrew letters, and find
Israel on a map. Our students are raised on Jewish values
and ethics. They make informed decisions about their
lives and conduct themselves as a mensch. Your child, as
a student in our program will grow to be a young adult
who has confirmed his or herself to living the Jewish life
that flourishes in his or her heart from the wonderful
experiences and connections they made while at Temple
Shaarei Shalom.
Having said that, we are taking our school-wide monthly
middot (Jewish value) and working towards finding ways
to involve all aspects of our Temple family in Social
Action projects and value programs. With the help of our
amazing new Social Action chair, Holly Bromer, we are
excited to roll out some great programs and activities
throughout the year, beginning with our Annual Food
Drive for the High Holidays, which ends with our Family
Sukkot Program on Sept. 23rd. Please see the flyer for
more details.
I look forward to everything we can accomplish together
this year and I thank you for choosing to provide your
children with a Jewish education here at Temple Shaarei
Shalom.
From myself, my wife, and all the staff and clergy-
Shanah Tovah and we wish you nothing but a Happy,
Sweet, Healthy, (insert a million other positive wishes)
New Year!

My Bat Mitzvah project involves raising money for the
Epilepsy Foundation. I learned at the beginning of this

strongly about this project since it is now a part of my
life.

Live Like Jake is an organization that is dedicated to bringing
awareness to the public about Drowning Prevention. The
organization was founded by Palm Beach County native Keri
Morrison after her 3 year old son died of an accidental drown-
ing. One of the Foundations main missions is to promote water
safety through the swim technique of ISR, "Infant Swim Re-
source". In addition to raising money, I will be donating a
portion of any money I receive from Bar Mitzvah gifts to Live
Like Jake. To those interested in learning more about this
program and/or donating to this very worthwhile cause, please

As a beach and ocean lover, I thought that a meaningful
mitzvah project would be to help clean our beaches and
ocean. The recent news reports of red tide outbreaks and high
bacteria content in our waterways is something that affects the
ocean and all of its marine life. I decided to make a difference
by addressing the pollution in the ocean and at the beach. I
scheduled multiple beach clean-ups and with my family I
collected trash on the beach and in the water. Pollution is
everyone’s concern. I intend to continue to clean beaches and
encourage others to help keep our oceans clean.

Social Action Committee
Hi! I’m Holly Bromer, Temple Shaarei Shalom’s new Social Action Chair. My husband and I have been Temple Members since
2013. We have two sons, ages 13 & 10. I look forward to working with our congregation to create a more meaningful experience
for all members and have a positive impact on our local community.
The New Year is fast approaching! What resolutions will you be making come Rosh Hashanah? The Jewish New Year is a time to
resolve that the upcoming year will be even better than the last. Unlike our secular new year resolutions made in December, the
commitments we make during this period tend to relate to family, friends and community. The new year is an opportunity to
reaffirm the Jewish tradition’s longstanding commitment to “tikkun olam.”
The phrase tikkun olam is understood to mean “repairing the world.” For Reform Jews, the importance of working individually and
collectively towards a better and redeemed world is vital to our understanding of what being active Jews means. The Jewish path
relies heavily on community. So many of the mitzvot are impossible to do alone. If we want to help the poor, clothe the naked,
house the homeless, heal the sick, and pursue justice, we need to join with others and to act in a coordinated way to turn the values
of the Torah into action.
Sometimes, the idea of repairing the world can seem overwhelming, but that is when we should remember a quote often attributed to
Martin Luther King, Jr.: “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.”
Tiny gestures like voting, volunteering, or making a small donation to cause can go a long way to fulfilling your spiritual resolu-
tions. Just because an act of service or outreach is small doesn’t mean it’s not quality. So, please get involved in your local commu-
nity. You can start right here by donating nonperishable foods (no glass please) to our annual Food Drive. Throughout the month of
September, our congregation will partner with Alpert Jewish Family & Children Services (AJFCS) and Community Caring Center of
Greater Boynton Beach (CCCGB) to turn hunger in to hope. In addition, you can visit our “voting booth” on September 23 to regis-
ter to vote or learn more information about the 2018 mid-term election.
Lastly, you can email [email protected] to learn ways to volunteer, participate, and stay engaged.
L’shana Tovah! May the new year bring you hope, peace & joy!

ISRAEL COMMITTEE The Israel Committee has been meeting over the summer, and we are planning a number of events. A number of members of the
committee and many of our friends are off on October 10 for two weeks in Israel with Rabbi Fratello. The Committee is
sponsoring an event on October 29 at 7pm at the Temple as an opportunity to hear the impressions of and adventures in Israel from
people on the trip. We will be showing some travel pictures of our trip as well. This is a free event and light refreshments will be
served. However, we would appreciate an RSVP by October 26 so we can have enough seats and food.
Please contact the office at 561-364-9054 and let them know if you will be attending.
We are also well along planning for the May 7, 2019 Y om Ha’Atzmaut celebration of Israel at 71. We will also be co-sponsoring a
program next year with the Brotherhood. We have a great committee and would love to have you join us.
Participation on the Israel Committee is a good way to participate at TSS without an excessive commitment of time. Please contact
Rich Rosentein at 617-595-1850 if you want further information. Our next meeting will be on October 2 at 7pm.

Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur for the Jewish Soul By the Jewish Jewel
Rosh Hashanah is a two-day celebration, beginning on the first day of Tishrei - the first month of the Jewish
civil year, but the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year.
According to Judaism, Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the year because it is held on the traditional an-
niversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman according to the Hebrew Bible, and their
inauguration of humanity's role in God's world.
Rosh Hashanah customs include sounding the shofar (a hollowed-out ram's horn), as prescribed in the Torah,
following the prescription of the Hebrew Bible to "raise a noise" on Yom Teruah; and among its rabbinical
customs is attending synagogue services and reciting special liturgy about teshuva, as also enjoying festive
meals. Eating symbolic foods such as apples dipped in honey is now a tradition, hoping thereby to evoke a
"sweet new year.”
According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year into a book, the Book of
Life, on Rosh Hashanah, and waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict. During the Days of Awe, a Jew tries
to amend his or her behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against God and against other human be-
ings. The evening and day of Yom Kippur are set aside for public and private petitions and confessions of guilt
(Vidui). At the end of Yom Kippur, one hopes that they have been forgiven by God.
