Throughout the High Holy Days we are beckoned to look at o world through the framework of these three spheres. The Self: Do we have clarified goals for our lives? What have we do during the past year to get closer to those aspirations? Part of being happy a fulfilled comes from seeing ourselves working towards purposeful goals. Pir Avot 2:21 teaches. “You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither a you free to desist from it.” What really matters is moving forward and maki progress. Are we taking care of our health? The adage, “If you have your health you have ever thing, without it you have nothing” holds a powerful truth. The High Holy Days are also a time assess how well we have taken care of our bodies, for no matter how strong our spirits, we need t vessel of the body to get the work of our spirits accomplished. The Family: When we create children, we bequeath a great part of ourselves to the next gener tion of humanity. Part of our genetics, our characters and our values system are transmitted to o children so much so, that often the traits of the grandparent are still obvious in the grandchild. O children are our greatest investment and should also be our greatest joy. This is a time of year enjoy the blessing of family and to work towards making our families even more blessed. We mu search for ways to strengthen our families, for what in our lives has comparable worth? The People: Being Jewish is a blessing. We are both the recipients of Torah and participants a great nation with 3700 years of history. As such, we are obligated to learn Torah and to transm Torah. The Torah is the tree of life, bearing the fruit of sustenance for the People Israel. We al are obligated to help build the State of Israel and strengthen the solidarity of the People of Isra Our responsibility as the current link in the chain that began with Abraham and Sarah and that mu continue forever is only accomplished through participation and donation. At this time of ye when each of us reviews our motivations and our actions, we must ask ourselves if we have do enough to assure the future of our People. Throughout the upcoming Days of Awe, may God help us to find the words that spark the dee that bring us closer to fulfillment of self, nearer to our loved ones and which engender uni amongst the People of Israel. Sh’ma Koleynu Hashem Elokeynu hus v’rahem aleynu v’kabel b’r hamim uv’ratzon et t’filateynu. Hear our voices Lord our God and have compassion on us, accep ing our fervent prayers. On behalf of my family and myself, I wish you a good and sweet New Year. Shannah Tovah Um’tukah, Rabbi Steven M. Graber Page 2 PRESIDENT’S ARTICLE Welcome back from summer vacation. I hope that everyone had the opportunity to take some time to relax and have some fun. September and October usher in the Jewish holidays, and the Temple Hillel staff is working hard to ensure that we will all be ready when the shofar blows. Our volunteers make certain that everyone gets their proper seats in the sanctuary and that you and your family receive the appropriate aliyot and honors, amongst the many other things that need to get done. I want to thank everyone for their efforts on the congregation’s behalf. We have rules to follow over the High Holidays so that all of our congregants, visitors, and guests can feel safe and secure in our building. Remember to bring your tickets with you and be prepared to show them to the security staff upon entering the building. Please be prepared to listen to the ushers and the people on the bimah for any and all instructions. Carriages and strollers will not be allowed past the first floor and cannot, under any circumstances, be allowed in the sanctuary or on the second floor. The parking lot will be CLOSED over the holidays, I am sorry for any nconvenience this may cause. During the month of September, you will receive a phone call from your fellow congregants to ask for you donation for our annual Kol Nidre Appeal. I know I can count on all of you to treat these members with respect, as they ask for your help. Dues are not enough to assist us in carrying on with the excellen programming and activities we enjoy at Temple Hillel. Our building is almost 60 years old, and we must spend the money for its upkeep and maintenance. This summer, we were required by Nassau County to nstall a grease trap and we are continuing with the installation of our new fire alarm system. Both of these projects are extremely expensive, and we look to you, our membership for the extra help you can give to us, as our membership declines, due to demographic changes. So please give whatever it is that you can ,we appreciate all of your help. Our annual Simchat Torah honorees will be Victor Spetalnick, who is our Chatan Torah, Leonard Tannenbaum, who is our Chatan Bereshit and Dr. Lawrence Cohen, who is our Chatan Maftir. Our Arbah Malchot, our two queens are, Beatrice Bratt and Naomi Rivlin. Mazel Tov to our Honorees! look forward to greeting everyone in the congregation as we gather in the sanctuary to welcome in the New Year. David, Nicole, Scott and I wish all of you L’Shana Tova Tikatevu. May you all be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life for a sweet, happy and healthy year.

Through this ritual, we express not only our desire to be free from sin but our continuing hope that we will be forgiven for past misdeeds. On the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashanah - it is customary to go to a flowing body of water and to recite prayers while “casting” our sins (represented by bread crumbs) into the water. As we read in Micah: “You will cast challah in the shape of a ladder. There are two (tashlikh) all your sins into the depths of the explanation for this: sea” (7:19). Yom Kippur itself is marked by physical abstinence. This is regarded ambivalently. Some say that the abstinence is for the sake of physical mortification and purgation; others say that on Yom Kippur man is so close to God he can forget about his body (or vice versa through forgetting the body, man can concentrate on the spiritual all the more intensely and gloriously.) 1) We are reminded of the ladder of Jacob’s By performing tashlikh, we signify our hope dream, which connected heaven and earth that God will overlook our failings during the (Genesis 28:10-22) - a link-up which is hopefully past year and grant us favor in the year to come. reestablished during this period.

Evelyn Berkowitz Page 9 MAZEL TOV TO OUR B’NAI MITZVAH BEN PERETZ Ben is an 8th grade high honor roll student at Woodmere Middle School, and is celebrating his Bar Mitzvah on October 27th. Ben loves to be active, and enjoys basketball, swimming and pingpong. He is also interested in music, and plays trumpet, piano, and guitar-hero. But Ben spends most of his time on the soccer field, as a member of the NY Cosmos '99 Academy team, currently ranked first in the nation for 13-year-old boys. Ben's parents, Tracey and Rami Peretz, and 16-year-old sister Shira, are incredibly proud of Ben as he reaches this important milestone. Ben's grandparents, Joan and Henry Ston of Oceanside, Alice and Albert Mizrahi of Fort Lauderdale, and Dani and Albert Peretz o Israel, are all thrilled to celebrate Ben's Bar Mitzvah with him and his family. “Calling all Brandeis Students” We would appreciate all parents of children attending the Brandeis School to let us know who your children are so that we may include them in issuing new Bar/ Bat Mitzvah dates or invite them to join us at Temple Hillel for any other event. We don’t know who your children are unless you let us know! Call the Temple Office at 791-6344 or email rmarkowitz@templehillel.org. Page 10 Sisterhood As the summer came to a close, we started thinking of all of our activities over the past year and are oking forward to what we have planned for the new year ahead. We started off the year with Irene Perl and her night of "Fun with Phyllo. We learned a lot about Phyllo dough and enjoyed tasting the many items Irene prepared. We thank Irene for starting us off this year wi "Cooking for the Holidays". The food she prepared was delicious. She made it seem so easy that I'm sure many of us added these dishes to our own holiday table. We would like to thank everyone again for making last year's fashion show such a success.. This year th fashion show will take place on October 24th. Come join us to see the latest fashions from Joy of How ard Beach, enjoy a wonderful dinner catered by Temple Hillel caterers and win fabulous prizes.

Since we had such a good time last year at our "Sing a Long," with Ruth Shuster , we have scheduled a repeat performance for November 28th. Last June we transformed the lower ballroom into a night club and held our first Cabaret Night. It was a huge success and we are planning to have another one in June.

Our Hebrew Ulpan led by Malka Hirsch will be starting again after the Holidays. A separate e-mail will be sent to you so that you will be able to sign up.

The Torah commands us to ive in booths for seven days as a way of remembering our ancestors who ived in huts during forty years they wandered in the deserts after their deliverance from Egyptian slavery. The succah, because of its frail construction and exposure reminds us of God’s constant care and protection. All the Torah scrolls are taken out on Hakafot. The Hazan “Great and mighty, help us! Kind and merciful, help us!” Everyon behind the Hazan, repeating the chant. Children march waving flags one kisses the scrolls as the pass by. Upon reaching the starting p front of the Ark, everyone sings and dances. This is repeated until e has had a chance to carry a scroll. The Succoth Festival concludes with Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, the Day of Rejoicing over the Law. Another Torah ceremony takes place during the morning service ing the last chapter of the Torah and then the first chapter. LULAV & ESROG The ceremony of the Esrog (citron) and the Lulav (palm branch), the Hadaisim (myrtle leaves) and the Aravot (willows of the brooks) bound SIMCHAT TORAH together with the Lulav, each distinctively different in beauty and fragrance symbolizes the cooperation and unity of all classes of society. The last day of Sukkot is the happiest. Originally, it was the secon Shemini Atzeret, but eventually it became a new festival, a Torah Each morning we recite the blessing “Al N’tilat Lulav,” The Lulav is not which is what Simchat Torah means. It is one of the two Torah fea other is Shavuot, when Jews celebrate the time when the Hebrews used on the Sabbath. the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai). The reading of the Tor When recting the blessing, the Lulav is held in the right hand and the cludes on Simchat Torah and immediately afterwards it is started agai Esrog is in the left, stem is down, and clasping the Lulav and Esrog together with both hands, the Lulav is waved in all directions to show that God, the Torah reading has been part of the synagogue worship on the Sab source of all blessings, is to be found everywhere. the holidays, and on Mondays and Thursdays since ancient times. SHEMINI ATZERT Shemini Atzeret is in the nature of a separate festival. A more serious mood prevails in the synagogue due mainly to the memorial service before Musaf. The morning service includes an important prayer for rain called Geshem (Rain). According to one tradition, it is on this day that the amount of rain that will fall on the world for the coming year is determined. Jews all over the world pray for rain in Israel at this time. SUKKOT IS COMING - October 1, 2012 ORDER YOUR LULAV AND ESROG The lulav and esrog are lovely symbols of the holiday and it would be a major reminder of Sukkot if every family acquired these articles and used them home during the days of Sukkot, and brought them to the Synagogue to participate together with their children in the Lulav pr ecession.
