From the Rabbi...Yizkor –

Personalizing Our Memories

Yizkor is the future tense of the Hebrew verb – to remember. During the High Holy Days, as we reflect on the past, the loss of our loved ones is particularly intense. We may remember Holy Days gone by in which they were with us. In this season of teshuvah and repentance, we might want to apologize posthumously for ways we may have wronged them. We might also find the spiritual strength to offer forgiveness for things they did that hurt us.

The Temple Sholom Ritual Committee has worked hard to come up with ways to enhance our Yizkor Service experience on Yom Kippur and make it more personal. Look for the following additions to our Yizkor Service this year:

• Memory Wall - If you come into the sanctuary you will notice a “Memory Wall” on the back far side of the room. You are invited to take a blank 3x5 white index card to memorialize a loved one. You may include his or her name, a special memory, something unique about that person, a favorite poem or reading, a picture, etc. This wall will be up from now until the end of High Holy Days.

• Time to Reflect – During the Yizkor service we will have quiet meditative music for several minutes for you to be able to reflect on memories of your loved ones.

• Kaddish – Before reading the Kaddish prayer, people will be asked to rise and individually offer names of their loved ones they are remembering out loud.

• Booklet of Yizkor Names – The list of Yizkor names in booklet form will be put on the Memory Wall as well as handed out to everyone in attendance.

We hope that these additions will help to enhance your Yizkor experience and add meaning to the mitzvah “to remember.”

Rabbi Michele Brand Medwin, D.Min.

18 Voices Sing Kol Nidre:The Secrets of a Sacred Chant

From Those Who Have Been Touched By It

!

How did the Kol Nidre become a Jewish anthem and an object of intense interest for non-Jews?

We find out when 18 voices sing Kol Nidre, when 18 storytellers share their tales, their anecdotes, about the prayer. Some are top experts on the chant, some are just those who have been changed by chanting it. Each tells his or her story with the help of unique visuals and a unique musical setting for the haunting melody.

The 18 voices—18 storytellers—include a Hassidic rabbi who tells the tale of a stable boy who is illiterate and can’t read the Kol Nidre prayer, an African-American author Julius Lester, a convert to Judaism as an adult, a legal scholar who goes back to the Middle Ages to paint the scene, a film critic who shows how the prayer burst onto the general pop scene with the first talking film, “The Jazz Singer” in 1927, and a composer who demonstrates how the chant has reached beyond Jewish circles.

In short, we learn the secrets of a sacred chant from those who have been touched by it.

HONORING  OUR  TEMPLE  MEMBERS  ON  THE  HIGH  HOLY  DAYS  -­‐5777

A  synagogue  is  much  more  than  the  bricks  and  mortar  used  to  construct  the  building.    It  is  the  people  who  are  members  of  the  synagogue  who  make   the   congregation   what   it   is.   Each   year  during  High  Holy  Day  services  we  like  to  take  a  moment   to   thank   all   of   those  members   of   the  Temple  who   have   been  active   in  various  ways  to  make  Temple  Sholom   the  special   place  it   is.    We   will   be   calling   the   following   groups   of  people   up   to   the   Bima   for   a   special   blessing  during  the  following  services:

We   hope   you  will   be   present   so   we   can   offer  you   a   special   blessing   for  your   involvement   in  the  Temple.

At Temple Sholom we have a wonderful opportunity three times a year to send Holiday Greetings to our temple

friends and family through our newsletter, The Harbinger. Here is an opportunity to do this in advance
