Shabbat – Our Weekly Sacred Pause

• In talking about birdsong, Wallace Stevens has, I believe uncovered the essence of Shabbat. Although we hear and appreciate the many sounds and ‘inflections’ of a bird’s call, that beauty is incomplete without the silence, the ‘just after,’ that follows it. Without that pause, we cannot fully appreciate the music.
• Just as a bird’s song needs the silence that follows it, so too we need Shabbat. The word “shabbat” means “pause,” a sacred cessation. We spend six days of the week busy with work, chores, activities - these make up the notes and melodies of our lives. Yet to truly hear our own music, to allow that music to resonate, we need the sacred pause that is Shabbat.
• Jewish teaching suggests several practices for Shabbat that help us create this pause in our lives. They include lighting candles, refraining from work, not carrying money, not lighting a fire (once the Shabbat candles have been lit,) and many others. These practices can help us hear the music of our own lives. However, we do not need to follow the letter of the law to embrace its spirit. We can develop our own traditions and practices that help us create our own sacred pause.
• Here are a few suggestions that you might try: Make Friday Dinner Special - Shabbat dinner is a sacred time in my household. Whether we are eating a fine homecooked meal or takeout pizza, we eat in our dining room. We begin with blessings to set the tone. We have intentional conversation…we make sure that everyone has a chance to speak, and we make an extra effort to really listen to one another. Even when our time is rushed before and after the meal, we do our best to slow down the pace of the meal itself, so that we can luxuriate in one another’s company and feel how blessed we are. • Do Less - The most traditional observance of Shabbat includes refraining from working altogether. However, even if that goal is out of reach for you, you can bring more spaciousness into your day by simply doing less than you do on other days. Before you turn to a given task - be it homework, shopping, responding to emails or doing the laundry, ask yourself, “Do I really need to do this now?” If it can wait, let it go. • Take an Electronics Break - We are so accustomed to constantly checking our phones for mail and messages, we do not realize how overstimulated we are. To truly hear our own thoughts and connect with our spiritual selves, we need to eliminate some of the outside noise. While it may be a challenge to completely unplug for an entire day, it can be immensely liberating to limit your use of electronics for a period of time. Try letting go of the need to check social media every few minutes. Try letting voicemail answer the phone and respond only to the urgent messages. • Connect to What Nourishes You - Shabbat is not only about refraining from doing things. It is also about bringing into your life that which nourishes your spirit, that which often gets overlooked in the hectic pace of the everyday. There are many different ways we can nourish our spirits - no one size fits all. Attending Shabbat Services, studying Torah for its own sake, spending time in conversation with a friend, reading a book, taking a walk, listening to uplifting music - these and many more are activities that can help us connect with the deeper meaning of life rather than be caught up in its busyness.
• Achad Ha’Am has said, “More than the Jewish people have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jewish people.” Shabbat, like other disciplines, takes practice and experimentation to perfect. Therefore, the rewards of the practice are great. Try incorporating a little bit more of Shabbat into your life this year.

May the sacred pause enable you to hear your own music more clearly, and may its harmony resonate throughout your days.

Our Faith Will Enable Us to Prevail

• I started writing this speech several weeks ago…thinking about all that I wanted to say to everyone. And then - Hurricane Ida hit and the Temple was under water. That speech went in the garbage.
• So many of us have been affected by storms in some way or another. Whether it has been directly, indirectly, in the past or from Ida herself. We have lost things we loved, and we have had to restore and rebuild our homes or our businesses.
• Now, our House of Worship that Feels Like Home has been devastated! Our classrooms were under 4 feet of water. The hallways, ballroom, and cocktail area were flooded. Our sanctuary…where we feel closest to our spiritual selves was under water as well. In addition, our prayer books fell to the floor and the bottom step of the bimah has been left peeling away. However, our Torahs, our sacred Torahs were protected and continue to be protected (amen.)

• It is sad. It is devastating. Yet we will prevail! We will prevail, because of the love and the support of all of you - our community…our family.
• I have been thinking a lot about what I want to say, what I want to ask for, and what we actually need.
• We have always come together as a family and as a community to support one another in good times and in bad. When I was touring the classes in the building last week, I saw the bulletin boards ready to greet the kids; and in the center of the hallway where our children walk weekly to learn about our Jewish heritage, this bulletin board hit home…it says it all, “Connecting to God and to Each Other.”
• We do not know what our exact next steps are going to be. We do not yet precisely know the extent of the damage. Nor do we know specifically what we will need to fix it and how long it will take. However, what we do know is that whatever steps we do take to restore our home it is going to take your emotional and financial support.
• Traditionally, the job of the President and the purpose of the Kol Nidre Appeal is to ask our Congregation for additional funds to keep our Temple running and operating smoothly. But tonight, and going forward for the foreseeable future it is different. I am appealing to everyone, my family…to help rebuild our home.

Let us renew ourselves for the year ahead...Let us honor the precious legacy that is ours. (from “Prayer for Our Congregation – Our Members,” Rosh HaShanah Services - 9/21)

Unity, Hospitality & Commitment

• Although we have been unable to use our building for religious school, our religious school family is resilient. The weather cooperated and we were able to hold our first two Sunday sessions outdoors.
• On September 26th we returned to a sense of normality as we moved to our temporary location at Shelter Rock Jewish Center. We thank Shelter Rock profusely for working with us and allowing us to use their space as we remediate the damage to our building!

• Every year we welcome new families and new children. Some are the siblings of our students, some took a break and returned, and some are brand new. We will be consecrating 14 children this year. A big welcome to the following students: Grade 1 - Sarah Escobar; Grade 3 - Harrison Gries, Benjamin Podber, Emmy Adrian, and Ava Shonsky; Grade 4 – Valerie Ford, Alex Lefkof (returning), and Sebastian Lefkof (returning); Grade 5 - Yaira Nislow and Julia Adrian; Grade 6 - Abigail Podber and Yaira Nislow; and Grade 7 - Quincy Ford and Ian Nislow
• We are also grateful to Temple Judea for opening their sanctuary to us for our B’nai Mitzvah Services and other events! Congratulations to the Levy Family on the upcoming Bat Mitzvah of their daughter, Clara on October 23rd.
• We have great neighbors, and it is wonderful to see how our local Jewish community is standing by us. Our parents and children remain strong and connected. I know we will return to our building at 3315 Hillside Avenue in the future. However, for now…our home and our school are wherever we are together.

Again, Shanah Tova to All!

TIKVAH TOTS

TRACY CHIREL & NICOLE TAYLOR

What Does Shabbat Mean to You?

• The answers are many, however their common link is that Shabbat means that, together with all the Jews of the world…be they orthodox, conservative or reform - once a week we stop what we are doing to rest and to say thank you God for what You have given us. Yet what about our Tikvah Tots? For them, it is just as important; for it is the first step on the path of leading to where Judaism plays a significant role.
• The cliché that you do not get a second chance to make a first impression applies here. Therefore, it is crucial to instill the importance and the blessing of Shabbat into the hearts and minds of our children at an early age. If each week they look forward to Friday night, then as they grow older, the likelihood that they will continue to observe Shabbat increases. So, the question now becomes - how do we make Shabbat a joyous occasion?
• The answer may be food, music, and reading. Let Friday nights be pizza night or dinner from McDonald’s or from some other place that serves food that tots enjoy (If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, it might work for children, as well.) When they get older, they can transition to matzo ball soup, chicken, and kugel. Next, have the tots associate the Sabbath with singing and dancing (Just a song or two and some jumping around with their parents will make every Friday night memorable.) Finally, a bedtime story with a Jewish theme will put a lovely end to a tot’s celebration of Shabbat. If you have not signed up for PJ Library Books, just click on the LINK below to sign-up. Every month a wonderful and free age-appropriate story will arrive at your door. These stories will help your child connect to Shabbat and their Jewishness.

• By making Shabbat a joyous occasion, we as parents will make it a meaningful experience for our children and grandchildren. In addition, of course we will be helping to make Judaism a part of their lives for their lifetimes.

Take a moment to slow down and be together, and revel in the sights, sounds, and tastes that make Friday night so special... onetable.org

L'Shanah Tovah!

• The Tikvah Times’ Theme for October is: What Does Shabbat Mean to You? This question means a myriad of things to each of us, as well as the traditions each of us shares with our children. We at Temple Tikvah pride ourselves on our approach to educate our students and instill our faith into their minds and hearts, their core values, beliefs, and lifestyles.
• They know that Shabbat - Hebrew for Sabbath, begins at sundown on Friday and concludes at sundown on Saturday; and that Havdallah is a religious ceremony or formal prayer marking the end of Shabbat. I would also like to share with you seven reasons why these traditions can be incredibly meaningful: “To Connect with Others; To Experience Personal Renewal; To Connect to the Natural World; To Stop Feeling Like a Slave to Your Work; To Stop Searching for Life’s Purpose; Because It’s Challenging; and Because It’s Commanded." See a more detailed explanation by clicking on the LINK below.

• Our Junior Congregation and Family Services in September for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur were wonderful! So many of our religious school families were in attendance.
• The Selichot Program (Jewish penitential poems and prayers, especially those said in the period leading up to the High Holidays) which was done at the end of our first day of religious school was a great way for both parent and child to learn to ask for forgiveness prior to the start of the new year. We enjoyed seeing so many generations at our Temple and spending time together.
• We are looking forward to resuming our Monthly Youth Events, Family Havdallah Programs, and Junior Congregation Services soon.

sisterhood

Thank God It’s Friday!

• Everyone needs a break from the work week. Our ancestors knew this long ago. It is part of our heritage. While growing up, my grandmother who lived with us always prepared double meals on Friday, so she did not have to cook on the Sabbath. We were not strictly Shomer Shabbos, yet we just did not do hard work on Shabbat.
• How is Shabbat observed in my Reform Jewish life? I do recognize Shabbat as different from my usual weekdays. I attend Friday night services and for many years my Saturday has started with Torah Study. After that I choose to do things that I enjoy without abstaining from driving, writing, shopping or gardening. As a Reform Jewish woman, I can design the day as I choose. I had an observant neighbor who chose to do family activities on the Sabbath. It was a special time to enjoy the closeness of parents and children. That was an idea that is worth considering. Therefore, in these ways I find my Reform observance of Shabbat not limiting, but actually enriching my life with family and enjoyable activities.
• Sisterhood is trying to plan interesting activities. Our first one was a Virtual Event that was on Thursday, September 23rd. We listened to and were given much food for thought from Sarah Hurwitz, a political speech writer who shared with us her journey to her faith. If you were unable to join us you may like to read her book, Here All Along – Finding Meaning, Spirituality, and a Deeper Connection to Life – In Judaism (After Finally Choosing to Look There.) We are also planning to participate in the Breast Cancer Walk at Jones Beach Making Strides of Long Island on October 17th. Look for more information in the upcoming Weekly Updates.

Sisterhood has had to revise some of our hopes and plans for this year; however, we are continuing to work to find interesting worthwhile activities. Please do not forget to send in your Membership Dues.

Brotherhood

Our Weekly 25-Hour Observance of Physical and Spiritual Delights…myjewishlearning.com

• I have been asked to tell what Shabbat means to me? However, this being a Brotherhood Article, I have decided to reach out to my “brothers” as to what Shabbat means to them.
• Here are a few of their responses along with mine, of course…”Shabbat is a break with the week, the mundane • A step back from the commotion of the week • A time for reflection • The end of the everyday week and a time to rest • Rest comes on Friday, and this also gives us a chance to see our friends. Maybe having dinner at our special restaurants • Sunday starts the new week, but Shabbat is just around the corner • Shabbat brings our community together • Whatever my mood is prior to Shabbat, I always feel better on Shabbat • I connect with my friends on Shabbat - even if it’s on ZOOM • Lighting candles, sipping a glass of wine, singing songs and oh yes, challah is my kind of Shabbat.”
• As for Brotherhood and our happenings - Our scheduled Defensive Driving Course which was planned for Sunday, September 19th was postponed due to the ongoing repairs at Temple. A new date will hopefully soon be planned. We are planning to host a Fundraiser at Ben’s Delicatessen in Bay Terrace on Tuesday, November 9th. Look for details in the upcoming Temple Weekly Updates.

Until next month…Marccc

Shabbat is Not a Holiday That Comes Upon Us, It is One That We Make Happen

• Last year at this time The Caring Community wrote an article about the meaning and practice of tikkun olam, the Jewish concept defined by acts of kindness performed to repair the world. For this year’s October Theme, we have been asked to write about what Shabbat means to us. After doing a bit of reading and research I feel a strong connection between the observance of Shabbat and repairing the world.
• Although Reform Jews do not abstain from the 39 categories of work (which include not lighting a fire, writing, and spending money) we do spend time with our community praying and singing. Many of our prayers and Shabbat Torah readings are not said or read alone, they are recited in a quorum of our choosing. Our Shabbat meals are enjoyed with friends and family. This experience strengthens the larger community, bringing us together on a regular basis.
• People who observe Shabbat, in any form have often reported that it helps them to become better people, that it makes room for more creative thinking, and that it is an opportunity to feel refreshed before starting another week. In addition to joyful singing, Shabbat becomes an opportunity to taste a better life. Shabbat can inspire the individual to work to make the world a better place.
• As Rabbi Arthur Waskow put it, Shabbat is “a time to live in harmony rather than achieve dominion over nature." After all, if God was impressed by creation, how much more so should we be awed by it?
• I feel strongly that observing the Sabbath in my personal way, has hopefully made me a better person, and strengthened my ties to the Community at large. Volunteer work and supporting several organizations has enriched my life, and I thank the experiences and knowledge that Temple Tikvah has exposed me to.
• REMINDERS: The Evening Book Club will next be reviewing The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedictand Victoria Christopher Murray (The remarkable story of J. P. Morgan’s personal librarian, Belle da Costa Greene, the Black American woman who was forced to hide her true identity and pass as white to leave a lasting legacy that enriched our nation, from New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict, and acclaimed author Victoria Christopher Murray…https://www.authormariebenedict.com/the-personal-librarian.html) at 7:30pm on Monday, October 11th. • The Afternoon Book Club will next be reviewing The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugoni (Sam Hell always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered, buoyed by his mother’s devout faith, his father’s practical wisdom, and his two other misfit friends… https://www.robertdugonibooks.com/sam-hell) at 1:00pm on Thursday, October 14th. • The Creative Writing Club will next meet on Tuesday, October 5th at 7:30pm and Tuesday, October 19th at 7:30pm.

Looking forward to the year ahead and praying that we will all work together to repair the world; as Anne Frank so profoundly wrote: HOW WONDERFUL IT IS THAT NOBODY NEED WAIT A SINGLE MOMENT BEFORE STARTING TO IMPROVE THE WORLD.

LifeLong Learning

Who Questions Much, Shall Learn Much, and Retain Much – Francis Bacon

• The first Lifelong Learning Event of the year will take place on October 9th 2021 at 11:00am. We will be screening the film Jaffa. Here is the blurb about the film: In the heart of the Israeli city of Jaffa, Reuven's garage is a family-run business. The garage workers consist of Reuven's beautiful daughter Mali, his aggressive and distant son Meir, as well as the young Palestinian man, Toufik. No one suspects that Mali and Toufik have been in love for years, and that Mali is pregnant with Toufik's child. As the two lovers secretly make their wedding arrangements, tension steadily builds between Toufik and Meir, who openly voices his disdain and prejudices about Arabs. As these relationships continue to intensify, emotions begin to boil, resulting in an astonishing conclusion. This film is an Official Selection at Cannes Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival.

• Jaffa is available on the video streaming service “Kanopy.” It runs for 102 minutes. It is in Hebrew with English subtitles. Feel free to watch it on your own in advance or join us at 11:00am for the screening, or around 12:45pm for a discussion following the film. The ZOOM LINK will be available in the Weekly Update. I hope to see you there.
• Torah Study continues every Saturday morning at 9:00am on ZOOM with Rabbi Sheinberg. With the start of October comes the beginning of the Torah cycle once again. Join us in reading the stories of our early ancestors and see how they remain relevant today. No experience necessary and all are welcome. Please see the Weekly Updates for the ZOOM LINK.

Once again…I wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe 5782!

Shabbat is a Day of Being, Not Doing…The Rest of the Week, We Jews are Exhorted to Improve the World, Better Ourselves, and Provide for Our Extended Families in Whatever Roles in Which We Find Ourselves - myjewishlearning.com -

• Shabbat is the Jewish holiday that occurs once every single week of the year! It carries rich traditional meanings as well as personal meanings for each of us. For the Social Action Committee, when we stop for a moment to reflect on the wonders around us, whether on Shabbat or at other times, we must ask ourselves how as a community we wish to respond to the climate crisis that now threatens the habitability of our earth and the future of mankind.
• The first Social Action Committee Meeting of the year was held on August 29th. We met to decide which issues we would like to address in the coming months. Of course, our collections for holiday giving and our commitment to charities such as the INN will continue, as will our connection to refugee and immigrant aid programs. However, we decided we especially need to be part of the solution in responding to the “red alert” that is the climate crisis. Our group decided to adopt the well-known slogan introduced over a hundred years ago by a Scottish conservationist: Think globally, act locally. What can we do at home, in our local communities, and on the state level that will make a difference and influence others to act as well?
• The Social Action Shabbat this Fall is scheduled for Friday, October 22nd. Climate is the theme. We are delighted to have a speaker from Grassroots Environmental Education, a local organization based in Port Washington. Save the date! You can check out their website by clicking on the LINK below. Thanks to Lynn Beber for making the contact.

• Other plans include a Spring Lunch and Learn around this theme and a possible joint meeting with Sisterhood to learn more about the ingredients in the products we use at home every day. Yet most importantly, we want to hear from all of you! Have you made changes at home or participated in political advocacy, because of environmental concerns? Do you have ideas for how we can share knowledge and experience to best serve our community?

Shanah Tovah to you and yours! We look forward to some lively discussions and meaningful action in this new year. Our next meeting is Sunday, October 3rd at 10:30am on ZOOM. Contact us at socialaction@templetikvah.org if you would like the link to the meeting.
