"What's news and 'nu' in the Beth David community"
From The RabbiRabbi Adler

Most Americans are profoundly saddened by the perpetual and partisan gridlock that hampers virtually any sense of progress on Capitol Hill. I wonder what Alexis de Tocqueville would write about this country today if he were visiting in the twenty-first century instead of when the nation was young. The sadness is exasperated by the fact that the country is just five weeks from mid-term elections and, in my opinion, not enough attention is being given to the inability of Congress to confront difficult issues in a constructive manner. Where are the candidates who are prepared to pledge to discourse without discord? Most candidates seek election based on platforms. Maybe the time has come to look beyond platforms and better to examine the foundations that support those platforms.  In its own distinct way, this is the advice and guidance of the Torah.


In Leviticus/Vayikra (19:17) we are taught, "hochayach tochiyach et amitecha - you shall surely rebuke your comrade (or your kindred or compatriot)". Our Sages offered an important comment on this verse; that is, it is immeasurably easier to rebuke, or critically engage, a person with whom there is a relationship rather than waiting until the relationship might be damaged or broken. For our Sages, the operative word is "amitecha - your comrade". The root of the word is "am" as in peoplehood or nation. It is essential to maintain and protect the fibers that weave and link people into a society. As long as there are connections, discourse without discord (or at least short-lived and minimal discord) is possible; however, the more that discord is allowed to foment the less is constructive discourse possible. This is why the teachings of Mussar always encourage addressing problems when they are young and conquerable rather than waiting. The more pain that is suffered the more difficult it becomes to find the way back to equilibrium and fraternity.

 

It is probably a coincidence that Yom Kippur always comes a few weeks before elections; but because Judaism values lessons more than it strives to identify coincidences, we try to find the lesson waiting to be extracted from this and similar convergences. Yom Kippur is more about foundations than it is about platforms.  It is more about core values and attitudes than it is concerned about what we profess. This reason is one among many why tradition admonishes every Jew to remediate and heal interpersonal problems and tensions before addressing our trespasses against Divine law and wisdom. We are not ready to pledge our fealty to God until we are first ready to stand as one with our neighbors and our community.


Former Speaker of the House, Massachusetts Representative Tip O'Neill made famous the quote, "all politics is local". Maybe, the best way to achieve a change in Washington is to embrace change at the place where all politics and politicians start, at the grass roots. It is time for every community, including our own, to rededicate itself to the 'unity' that lives within comm'unity'. The work might be hard in some cases, but hard work is always better than the consequences of ambivalence.

 

A related convergence, that I believe is a robust and meaningful observation more than it is a coincidence, is the popularity of the song "Am Yisroel Chai" (The People of Israel Lives). This song is ubiquitous to Jewish celebrations. It is sung at almost every gathering, social and religious, where dancing and singing are included. Why do we all enjoy this song? It may be because of our embedded acceptance of the understanding that we are weakened, diminished and vulnerable if we are not a united people. Our viability, our vibrancy and our survivability are inseparably linked to our sense of oneness and peoplehood. More than anything else, we are an "am", we are a people.

 

This season of important holy days, not just holidays, culminates with the joyous celebrations of Simchat Torah; and undoubtedly, we will dance more than once to the words "Am Yisroel Chai". Let us share and unite in the goal of revalidating and recommitting ourselves to the spirit of community that makes us an "am". With Yom Kippur in just a few days, we are in the precisely right place to invest our best efforts.

Succah Hop
succah
"Succah Hop" is an annual Beth David event. To make this wonderful social opportunity open to as large a group as possible, this year's "Hop" will take place on the Sunday of Chol HaMoed, October 12, 2:00-4:00pm. We are seeking home that will want to be hosts. Please contact the shul office (Click Here) or Judy Brenner to volunteer your succah. Someone will be in touch before Yom Tov to confirm what time (about) the "hop" will be getting to your succah!
Honorable Mention
Thank you to Rabbi Jay Lapidus for his scholarship and time in preparing amazing classes and teaching the Shabbat afternoon classes this past year.

Lulav and Etrog

Please be reminded that The Judaica Store in Bishops Corner sells lulav-and-etrog sets of fine quality at fair prices. When possible, we encourage every adult family member to have an individual set so that everyone may participate in the sanctuary rituals of the holiday. Lulav-and-Etrog are used twice during Succot prayers, first during the recitation of Hallel at the conclusion of Shacharit and again at Hoshanot at the conclusion of Musaf. In anticipation of men and women both having their own sets, we will have concurrent Hoshanot at the end of Musaf. Men and women will have equal Hoshanot in respective sanctuary locations.

 

Might this be your first year fulfilling this mitzvah and owning a Lulav-and-Etrog set? Be sure to be on time to Yom Tov services on the first day of Succot (Thursday, October 9). Rabbi Adler will review the rituals of how to properly practice this mitzvah.

An Overview of Yom Kippur and Succot

(collected from various sources)

 

Yom Kippur, the tenth day of Tishrei, is both a somber and celebratory time. These may sound contradictory, but the themes combine gracefully on Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur marks the end of the Ten Days of Repentance, and calls upon us to believe in the power of prayer and our ability to earn blessing for ourselves. Our God is a merciful and forgiving God and sincere repentance is always rewarded with forgiveness. Atonement is the final stage in the process of repentance. The essence of atonement is the effort to correct the damage caused by sin. While it is never possible to take back our words and deeds entirely, it is usually possible to apologize and reverse some of the ill effects of what we have said and done. Implicit in this effort is reconciliation, both with those whom we may have offended and with God, who is offended by every sin. When all efforts to atone and reconcile have been made, Yom Kippur reaches its zenith of meaning.

 

Adults are obligated to fast on Yom Kippur. This means a complete abstention of all food and drink from sunset on the eve of Yom Kippur until three stars appear in the sky at the end of Yom Kippur and Havdallah (the ceremony of separation from holy time) is recited. Children are not permitted to fast because it might be dangerous to their health, but older children approaching age 13 are trained to fast by skipping one meal or snacks during the day. Those whose health depends upon medicine which must be taken with food, and elderly people who are weak, or anyone who is sick and needs food to maintain their health, are forbidden from fasting and are required to eat. Rabbi Adler is available for consultation regarding specific needs and circumstances.

 

The prayer services of Yom Kippur are many and long. The prayer book is a called a Machzor. They feature confessional prayers of both a private and communal nature. The prayers begin with Kol Nidre, which is actually recited prior to Yom Kippur, before the sun sets. It is chanted dramatically and movingly before a Beit Din (court) of three, at least one of whom is holding a scroll of Torah. Technically, it is a legal procedure by which the members of the congregation are released from unfulfilled vows which will be made during the coming year, the assumption being that these are vows made under duress. It derives from a period in our history when forced conversions were common and many Jews continued to maintain their religious heritage in secret. Kol Nidre released them from the vows they had might made in duress against their will.

 

The Vidui (confessional) prayers are recited in every Yom Kippur service. They are couched in the plural ("we have sinned...") and list more sins than any one person is likely to have committed in the past year, prompting commentators to ask: Why do we confess to sins we didn't commit? The answer most often given is that we stand before God as a community and confess as a people. As a community, we each bear some responsibility for the sins of each other; and as a community, we pray for each other. The closing service of the day is Neilah (literally, the closing). As the gates of Heaven symbolically close with the setting of the sun, the congregation shares in a final, heartfelt service of song and introspection. The shofar is blown but once for Yom Kippur - one long blast (Tekiah Gedolah) at the very end of the holiday, signifying that it is over and bespeaking the future blast of the shofar when the ultimate Day of Judgment will dawn, the Messianic Age.

 

It is traditional to wear white clothing on Yom Kippur because white is the color associated with purity. Yom Kippur is a time when we consider deeply the meaning of life. It is also proper to abstain from wearing leather shoes and bathing on Yom Kippur, as required by tradition.

 

Succot Succot begins on Tishrei 15 and continues for a week. It marks the autumn harvest time. It is a festival devoted to thanksgiving for the abundance of life. It is the final of the year's three pilgrimage holidays. Jewish tradition teaches that the earth and everything in it belongs to God. We humans are not the owners; God owns the planet. We are the caretakers and as such, we are privileged to enjoy the bounty of the earth. On Succot we give thanks to God, the source of our sustenance. Additional names of the holiday include Zman Simchateinu (the time of our joy) and Chag HaKatzir (the festival of the [fall] harvest).

 

On Succot, we build small temporary dwellings called succot (succah in the singular). A succah has at least three sides and the roof is an open lattice work covered with cut branches from trees through which the stars can be viewed at night. The Torah commands (Leviticus 23:42-3) , "You shall live in huts seven days; all citizens of Israel shall live in huts, in order that future generations may know that I made the Israelite people live in huts when I brought them out of the Land of Egypt, I the Lord your God." Tradition holds that one "lives" in the succah during the week of Succot, which means that people eat as many meals as possible there and also socialize, tell stories, and sing songs there. Some people sleep in their sukkot if weather permits. A succah may be made of wood, metal, or even PVC piping, and is decorated with symbols of the season. The tradition of Ushpizin is a charming custom by which families symbolically invite the patriarchs who were shepherds to visit their succot each day of the festival as honored guests. It is also traditional to invite friends and relatives to share meals in the succah.

 

The Torah Lulav instructs us to take up four species in hand to celebrate Succot, these four species are called the Arbah Minim. The mitzvah is based on the verse (Leviticus 23:40), "On the first day you shall take the product of the goodly trees, branches of palm trees, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days". The first three (willow, palm, and myrtle) are bound together and collectively called a lulav. The fourth is the etrog (citron), a sweet smelling citrus fruit grown in Israel. The lulav and etrog are brought to the synagogue where they are used during specific parts of the holiday services. During the time when the Temple stood in Jerusalem, the four species were used daily in the Temple during Succot. After the Destruction of the Second Temple, the four species were used as part of the synagogue ritual, waved during Hallel (specifically, while reciting Psalm 118), only on the first day by biblical ordinance, but the rabbis decreed that it should be brought to the synagogue every day during Sukkot with the exception of Shabbat, when the prohibition against carrying takes precedence.

 

The book of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) is traditionally read during the festival of Succot on Shabbat Chol Ha-Moed (the intermediary Shabbat of Succot). The theme of Kohelet, a biblical book ascribed to King Solomon, is that physical possessions and pleasures are transitory and therefore of limited meaning, while living properly and serving God has ultimate value. The unsubstantial sukkah reminds us of our vulnerability and this reminds us of the transitory nature of physical life on earth.

 

Spending time in a succah intensifies our awareness of just how fragile life is and that our lives are inextricably interwoven the rest of nature. Without a solid edifice to protect us from the elements, and exposed to the immensity of the universe, we are sensitive to our connection to the universe. Sukkot is an ideal festival because among all the Jewish festivals, it goes the farthest to emphasize our connection to nature.

 

The Torah instructs us to keep the eighth day after Succot as a holy day. It is called Shemini Atzeret (the eighth day of gathering) but there are few specific rituals associated with it other than the cessation of work. The Torah declares (Numbers 29:35) "On the eighth day you shall hold a solemn gathering; you shall not work at your occupations." Some rabbis suggested that Shemini Atzeret is the official conclusion to the fall holiday "season" in much the same way that Shavuot is the conclusion to the Pesach season in the spring.

 

The day after Shemini Atzeret is celebrated as Simchat Torah Simchat TorahSimchat Torah, which means "Rejoicing in the Torah", is a celebration of the renewal of the yearly cycle of reading. The Torah is divided into 54 portions, one assigned to each week, except when a festival falls on Shabbat. On Simchat Torah we finish the reading cycle of the previous year and then immediately start anew, reading from the first parshah of Genesis, signifying that for us Torah study never ends.

 

Torah is the constitution and backbone of Judaism. While there are other texts we hold sacred and which inform our rituals and values on a day-to-day basis, it is the Torah which serves as the foundation and binding force bringing Jews together. Our commitment to the Covenant of the Torah makes us one people. Torah is the source of our life as a people, and hence the cycle of reading, which brings us together as a community of learners and worshipers, is cause for great celebration.It is customary to dance and sing with the Torah on Simchat Torah. Hakafot (circlings in the synagogue with the Torah) are joyous celebrations of the meaning of Torah in our lives. We sing and dance, and the community gives thanks for the blessing of the Torah. There are seven hakafot prior to the reading of the final verses, each accompanied by songs chosen by the community to sing. Then two scrolls are brought to the bima and the closing passages of Deuteronomy are read, followed by the opening passage of Genesis.

 

After almost a month of intense holidays, with much preparation and anticipation, Simchat Torah is a poignant conclusion. The festivities of the day are rooted in the hope that we have achieved most, if not all, of what we anticipated when we started our holiday planning late in the summer.
