How often I hear the phrase, "I am spiritual, but not religious." I
must confess that I have never understood the meaning of this quote.
What is spirituality, if not religion, and what is religion, if not the
quest for spirituality? It is sometimes suggested that Judaism is a
. religion oflaw, that its dramatic mitzvah system presents a behaviorist
view of the world. Judaism's preeminent value ofTikkun Olam clearly
advocates a partnership with human beings and God, and advocates our responsibility to
complete the process of creation.
However, to imply that our activism in the physical world means that we have no
interest in the world of the spirit is completely without warrant. Our tradition is replete
with powerful and meaningful attempts to connect with God. Jewish mysticism expressed
in the many works of Kabbalah, began in the first century of the Common Era, and
continues until this day. There have been periods when a more rational approach held
sway, but there have been and continue to be wide swaths of the Jewish world that express
their Jewish life through the spiritual. It is important to note that even those who engage in
most mystical aspects of spiritual life have never abandoned the Mitzvot or the noble goal
to repair the world. Indeed, mystical tradition has reinforced the performance ofMitzvot
with the inclusion of a cosmic importance. Not only do we see a personal and global
impact from our behavior, but there might also be an unseen, unknown, yet very real,
cascading effect to Jewish ritual. What I do matters, not only to my immediate neighbors,
and me, but it effects the cosmos in untold ways. Therefore, spiritual Jews perform even
the most mundane Mitzvot with great fervor.
Though I may not recognize or realize the impact of this behavior, it does not mean that
there isn't some effect. In truth, the mystical tradition is profoundly behaviorist, because it
acknowledges the power inherent in actions even when they are not readily visible. Thus,
truly spiritual people do not dwell only in the world of the self, but rely on the self to effect
creation and climb the physical world's ladder toward the divine. Our religious tradition
places responsibility on each of us not merely to feel good and obtain inner peace, but to
bring the world closer to heavenly perfection.
As we approach Rosh Chodesh Elul, the month before the Holy Days, it is our tradition
to sound the shofar daily. It calls us, awakens us, and invokes us, not merely to attend
High Holiday services, but also and more importantly to accept the spiritual imperative to
elevate our souls toward the divine within and without, and accept our ancient call to
repair our world. As the Holy Days of Awe draw near, let us examine our hearts and souls,
and recommit ourselves to being God's partners in spirit and deed.
Susan, I and our family wish you and yours a Shana Tova Umetukah, a sweet and good
New Year, filled with the pleasant peace of spiritual joy and imbued with the fulfillment
that comes from doing God's work.

This past summer was a very
special one for me. You aU know about
the most important event that occurred
for Dmitri and me - the birth of our
son Michael Gideon (MotI Moshe)
may he live 120 years, I was thrilled that our congregants
welcomed him into the world with open arms and I am
immensely grateful to you for sharing our happiness and for
all the love and support you showed us in so many ways,
Summertime, when Hebrew school is on vacation and most children
are away, is the best time for study, professional development and
sharing experience with other cantors. Though getting used to the
huge change in my life and this new overwhelming responsibility
that little Motele brought into my life, I was able to attend only one
seminar on Jewish music this summer that proved a profound
experience for me. I spent four days in the Catskills studying with my
most distinguished colleagues at the first annual Rozhinke retreat.
Rozhinke is a new seminar organized in an effort to preserve and
continue the great cantorial art tradition of yesteryear.
The music that we hear in the synagogue today is various and
eclectic, derived from different times and traditions, and changing
from place to place according to the taste and average age of the
~~~~~~~~~~~ congregants. But when one thinks
of hazzanut, as an art form, the
particular style that has its roots
in the eastern European shtetl
comes to mind. Yossele
Rosenblatt, the Kousevitsky
brothers and other renowned
cantors of the first half of the
twentieth century, a period now

was so intrinsically Jewish, so
passionate, so filled with pathos and sweetness, that it is described
by the term "Rozhinke" (a raisin). We admire the cantors of the
Golden Age not just for the beauty of their voices and amazing
vocal technique, but for being real zoggers (speakers) who prayed
with kavanah (understanding), expressing longings and aspirations
of a human soul and conveying a liturgical message to their listeners.
It was both challenge and fun to spend four days working on all
those little krechtz and kveck sounds, polishing dreydelach and runs
that, unfortunately, are very rarely heard on the bimah nowadays.
Should this part of our heritage be left only to a concert stage where
it becomes the showcase ofthe cantor's voice, or can it be a part of
the worship service and awaken the same spiritual and emotional
response that it did from our parents and grandparents? I strongly
believe that it can. This year which is the Year of the Siddur in our
congregation, I would like to dedicate the sermons in song to the
renditions ofliturgy from different times and styles, and to see which
of them would resonate with us so that we might incorporate them
into the service. I look forward to sharing more wonderful music
with you and your thoughtful insights that always enhance my
interpretation ofthe words of the prayers.

the e-mail: "My son, a Marine lieutenant, called last Thursday from
AI Hillah, Iraq! It was the third phone call since they deployed in
January. The call was short due to the enormous cost and, therefore,
rather a frantic check list - are you ok, how is your stomach feeling,
do you have enough food? But he chose Thursday because it was his
father 's tenth yahrzeit and he wanted to make the family connection
that only a voice can do. It was wonderful for both of us to be
"together." The Army son of the Rabbi's assistant at the reform shul
in Atlanta was among the team that took Uday and Qusai. The
generals came to congratulate them and then brought the news
that their deployment would be extended to Marc~

As we approach the High Holy Days, let uS share our good fortune
with those far from home and their loved ones. Please send your
calling cards to the Temple office or have your child bring them on
the first day of Sunday school.
Sincerely,

YOUTH GROUP NEWS
NURSERY & RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
This year Youth Group will see many changes
that I am very excited about. Our 7th and 8th Grade
Youth group is undergoing another transformation!
It will now be known as the Mitzvah Corps. The
Mitzvah Corps will give our children the chance
to perform Mitzvoth (commandments) on a
monthly basis. This will present a great opportunity
for our youth to volunteer their services to organizations throughout
our community. We will provide attention to the elderly, the
homeless, adults in group homes, the homebound and many more.
Among other things, we will be cooking, serving meals, planting
flowers and playing bingo.
Our senior Youth Group will continue to be known as BITY (Beth
Israel Temple Youth). We have a new board in place and I encourage any
students in high school who would like to be involved to contact me.
Our 41h through 6th graders will now be known as Ity-Bity and
will still feature the same fun-filled monthly activities.
Though Youth Group is focused on our youth; the more important
emphasis should be on parents. Without parental support we could
not have successful events. Please encourage your child(ren) to not
only become members of Youth Group, but to become active
members. Youth Group gives our children the opportunity to grow
into young adults and as Jews in an informal setting. In addition to
our work in Tikkun Olam, repairing the world, we offer fun and
exciting events that bring our kids together with our Jewish kids
locally and throughout the region. So when the Youth Group
registration arrives for your child, please fill it out, send it back to
Beth Israel and stay involved.
I heard a rumor that summer was here ... but I'm
not really sure. I suppose there were some very hot
days, but Mr. Sunshine rarely showed his face and
my days at the beach were numbered. However,
not one to complain, I'll just say 'thank you, God'
for those Fridays off. They certainly felt great!
September brings much excitement to our
school building. Nursery school ran a very
successful camp program this summer for our
youngest children. It was great fun and a pure delight to watch all
those bathing beauties in and out of our small pools. A warm
thanks to Ms. Ina who really made it all happen.
Our fall nursery programs are in place and there are still a few
spots available. This year we have both a morning and afternoon
kindergarten enrichment program. These classes are designed to
reinforce kindergarten skills in an active leaming environment
with a project approach curriculum. Thanks to Lisa Stein, our staB
had the opportunity to learn about the Reggio Emila program of
Italy. This approach allows children to construct their own
learning in an open, flexible manner. Teachers are there to
facilitate the process and guide their discoveries . .
There are many new things happening in our Sunday and
Hebrew School. We will continue to use the Chai curriculum in
second, third, and now fourth grade. The Chai curriculum was
designed by the UARC and focuses on Torah, Avodah and
G'milut Chasadim. Each grade level studies a specific book of the
Torah. We will continue to use the same Hebrew series for
instruction but will individualize and supplement our studies with
materials from the new Mitkadem program.
This year there will be many scheduled Tefillah (worship)
sessions both during the week and on Sundays. The Rabbi and
Cantor put together a prayer book specifically to be used for our
school Tefillah sessions. It is our goal to make our children as
proficient and comfortable as possible with the worship service
through ongoing programming. We are, after all, in the business of
helping to educate the future generation of Jewish adults. We take
this responsibility very seriously.
As the year closes and we look toward a new year hopefully filled
with peace for all, my family and I wish everyone a sweet New Year.

Attention All Music Covers!
Everybody who went raved about our last Opera Trip! Well, we're going to do it again!
Cantor Averbakh has planned another Metropolitan Opera adventure on
Saturday, Dec. 13, to see and hear "La Juive" (The Jewess) by famous 19 th
century French composer, Jacques Halevy.
This trip promises to be an exciting Shabbat experience. We will leave our
Temple grounds at approximately 8 a.m., and head for Temple Beth EI in Jersey
City where we will first enjoy a Shabbat service, followed by lunch at the
synagogue. Then on to New York City and the opera which will feature
Metropolitan star, Neil Shicoff, the son of a famous cantor, and Soile Isokoski,
in the title roles. While enroute to New York, Cantor Averbakh will acquaint us with the opera's story.
After the opera we will have dinner before proceeding home.
If you are interested, please call our Temple office and reserve your place. The price has been
estimated to be approximately $150 per person, which includes bus transportation, lunch, bus driver
gratuity, opera ticket and dinner. The number to call is 641-3600.
We are announcing this trip now so that you can plan ahead - we are sure it will be a SELLOUT!
Get on board early!
