(* Indicates a Charter Member since 1995)

I remember well the very first time

I made hospital visits as a newly

minted Rabbi. I was nervous…and

nervous about two things in

particular:

How could I walk into a stranger’s

hospital room – intrude on their

privacy (even if I asked from the

doorway up I might enter) – and introduce myself by

asserting, “Hi, I’m your Rabbi”? I sure didn’t feel like

I was their Rabbi, at least not one week into my tenure!

Even though I’ve never had that much chutzpah. I knew

I had to overcome my own reluctance and self-doubts,

and just do it.

And how would they react? With one exception (I later

came to know him as being grouchy even on a good

day), everyone received me warmly, was happy to meet

me, helped to put me at ease, and wanted to know about

me. I had to make an effort to direct the conversation

back to them!

The second thing that concerned me was whether I would

be able to bring them comfort and encouragement. I

discovered that the rabbinic adage about visiting the sick

alleviating 1/60 of the illness was not true: it alleviated

much more than that! I wasn’t there poking, prodding, or

evaluating; I was not there to do something to them; I

was there to do something for them—just by being there,

and they greatly appreciated that.

I think the same thing is true when we pay your shivah

call. We’re a bit nervous and uncomfortable; the whole

thing is awkward. But the good that we do far outweighs

any sense of personal discomfort that we may

experience.

When you overcome your own hesitations and concerns,

and pay a condolence call to members of our shul – even

though you have no idea who they are, you’re asserting

that we are all part of one community – and not just any

community, but a kehilla kedosha, a sacred community, a

fellowship whose bonds are strong and meaningful; we

share something important in common.

KEHILLA KEDOSHA, A SACRED COMMUNITY

I guarantee you that you will be welcomed warmly,

just as I was welcomed into every hospital room –

(well, almost…). When the people sitting shivah

realize that you may not know anyone else in the

room, they will make an extra effort to make you feel

comfortable and welcome. Your visit will be greatly

appreciated – all the more so because, aside from our

common membership in Gesher Shalom, you were

heretofore strangers. By making that visit you will

both discover the special blessing of belonging to a

synagogue, and come to realize that just by your

presence you have brought a measure of comfort.

Most of our congregation is comprised of 3-day-a-

year people, with an occasional yahrzeit thrown in.

And yet, come the high holidays, we expect to be

instantaneously transformed from solitary individuals

who rarely encounter one another, into a community.

I know coming to shul more often may not be your

thing (I nevertheless would urge you to come, and

most especially to linger after the service, because

that’s when and where the communal bonds are

formed), but allow me to encourage you to respond to

the next Bereavement Notification you receive by

paying that shivah call, even to someone whose name

and face you do not recognize.

It will give both you and the bereaved a greater sense

of belonging and community, and the next time Rosh

Hashannah and Yom Kippur roll around, you won’t

be praying with as many strangers around you. You’ll

be praying with your community.

A TIME TO PRAY

One of the liturgical highlights of our Rosh Hashanah

and Yom Kippur services, is the powerful

quintessential prayer for the Days of Awe—the

“Un’taneh Tokef.” It paints a picture of God’s

creatures passing before the divine throne on the

annual day of judgement.

“Who shall live and who shall die; who shall perish

by fire, and who by water, who by sword, and who by

wild beast, who by

earthquake and who by

plague… but repentance

(T’shuvah) prayer (t’fillah)

and acts of righteousness

(tz’dakah) can avert the

severity of the decree.”

I hope we will all sing

along on the holidays to the

well-known refrain “B’rosh

Hashanah.”

This coming High Holy

Days, we yearn and pray for the gathering of the

community. We say “Zochreinu L’chayim, “

remember us with life.

My family joins me in praying for happiness, well-

being and peace for you and your family the people

of Israel and the entire world.

SHANAH TOVAH!

It’s hard to imagine that

summer has come and gone,

and autumn is near as we

prepare for a new season. Rosh

Hashanah will ar r ive at the

very end of September. The

Jewish New Year is a time of

personal reflection, and

a time to

assess how we have been

successful, and where there is

room for improvement.

Over the years, no matter

where I have served, there

have been congregants who

would say to me how they’re

not so religious and don’t

really know the prayers. So

how can they pray? I would

tell them not to worry; the

only necessary thing is that

they are willing to “open their hearts.” The Hebrew

word “to pray” is “l’hitpallel” which means “to

render a verdict about yourself.” We long for God to

listen to our prayers, our hopes and dreams, and even

our pain.

This past spring and summer, I had the opportunity to

visit two different congregations where a liturgical

poem was sung by the Cantor and responded by the

congregation. The prayer is called “Anim Z’mirot.”

The first line reads: “I will weave songs because my

soul yearns for You…”

While still a student at Cantorial school at JTS, I had

the honor of meeting with the late great Theologian

Abraham Joshua Heschel in his pr ivate office and

study, where the two of us would randomly chant

different prayers. I vividly recall his comment on the

“Anim Z’mirot” rendition as something like:

“In order to pray, our spirit must have a

song that’s free to express one’s feelings.”

Prayer is not about the virtuosity of the

Cantor, the skill of the Rabbi, or the length or

brevity of the service.

LULAV AND ETROG

We encourage everyone to purchase their own

set of Lulav and Etrog for use in their Sukkah, at

home, or to be brought into the shul for Hallel

and to participate in the Hoshanot procession.

We hope that many will continue with their

observance of this tradition, and that others will

be inspired to either start or resume their

participation. Sets can be ordered through the

Synagogue office:

Regular set(s) at $40 each,

deluxe set(s) at $45 each.

Deadline is: October 4th. 2019
