It was great to see so many of you, and I hope that the joy of hagim resounds throughout the coming year. As we say goodbye to Tishre, we say hello to the Rabbi William Siemers month of Cheshvan, or Mar Cheshvan. It is the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and it is distinguished from the other months of the year in that there are absolutely no holidays – major or minor – to be found within. The long form of the name is from the Akkadian warch sheman, which would be yareach shemini in Hebrew, and means simply the eighth month. But we didn’t as a people always have Akkadian diction(Continued on page 2) Beginning on November 11, Shabbat Services will return to 5:30 PM, to be followed by a Shabbat dinner. Anyone wishing to contribute toward or sponsor this meal, please contact Jaime or Richard. Temple Israel of Riverhead 1 November 2011 (Rabbi—continued from page 1) holiday. I particularly like the idea of “Mr. Cheshvan,” and I think it is useful as a reminder that the rhythms of daily Jewish life, apart from the holidays, are a significant source of meaning and strength. Our endless task of expanding the boundaries of holiness is not less urgent on a cloudy November morning than it is at Kol Nidre. Empty boxes on the calendar are a blessing when they remind us that time and space are for us to fill. Welcome, Mr. Cheshvan. aries at our fingertips, so several folketymologies have been passed down. Some say that it is the lack of holidays, as well as the memory of unpleasant things that fell during Cheshvan (such as the flood), which accounts for the adjective mar which connotes bitterness (think of the seder). On a more positive note, the full name of Mar Cheshvan, when heard through the lens of modern Hebrew, sounds like “Mr. Cheshvan”, as though the month was in some manner more formal than the eleven months which we seem to know on a first-name basis. Cheshvan receives the honorific as compensation for being the one month of the year without a B’Shalom Rabbi Siemers Our Website Has a New Look It’s time to visit us at www.TempleisraelRiverhead.org.

Temple Israel of Riverhead 5 November 2011 Thoughts from a Congregant By Bruce Kagan A clear voice resounded in the bright sunlight filtering through the stained glass windows of our newly-refurbished sanctuary. Rabbi Siemers joined in harmony, balancing the higher cantorial notes of Cantress Wagner. I was taken back to my youth, when I listened to the cantor chant with European accent and inflection. He would lift up his hands and plead to the Lord for our repentance and salvation for another year. I have mixed feelings about my aging. I am uncomfortable about becoming somewhat “germ-phobic” and not wanting to shake people’s hands. On the other hand, I am able to see certain things more clearly and appreciate the work that others are doing for me. I would like to reflect on our recent High Holy Days celebration at Temple Israel of Riverhead. There are many people who have worked very hard “behind the scenes” to make our holiday observances meaningful and seamless. I am unable to name them all, but I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. I would like to thank Rabbi Siemers and Cantress Wagner for what seemed like a superhuman effort of dovining for so many hours, most of which were done standing! They chanted clearly with emotion, and smiles on their faces. Their singing reflected a true labor of love. I am very thankful to Harley Abrams, Lisa Israel, and Andrew Gordon, for their Haftorah chanting. We are very fortunate to have members who are knowledgeable and willing to take up this challenge. They do it graciously and masterfully. Thanks go to Annette Grubman and Karen Sulitzer for reading the Yiskor names, and to Annette for her work on the service in general. Thanks go out to the congregants who joined in with oral readings and other “honors.” I want to extend a special thank you to Lisa Israel, Barbara Smith, and Jaime Siegel for adding a youthful, positive, “can-do” personality to our synagogue. I must say that, after praying for almost 3 hours on a Sabbath, I barely have enough strength to make it down to the fine kiddush which Jaime has overseen. Thanks again, Jamie, for making sure we are all well-fed. Barbara Smith spoke about our “Temple Family.” This tied in with the Rabbi’s sermon about coming to the synagogue as a direct expression of being Jewish. I have (Continued on next page) Temple Israel of Riverhead 6 November 2011 (Continued from previous page) belonged to Temple Israel since 1980, and I feel fortunate to have known many of the “old timers.” However, until the past 15 years or so, I have always felt I was “just a congregant,” but not really a family member. This is not so any longer. This feeling comes with showing up and “being counted” as a functioning member of the synagogue. I now feel that I truly am a “family member,” and am accepted with my interests and eccentricities. It is a wonderful feeling to know that you “have a home here.” These High Holy Days had added meaning for me in that I held my departed brother Lenny in my hands as I prayed! Figuratively, Lenny was with me over the many hours, because his name was inscribed on the nameplate of the new prayer book which I held. This was a very special event for me. The High Holy Day Service concluded on an unusual and awe-inspiring note with the chanting of Havdalah by colorful glowstick light! Very cool, and very different! Just the way my Rabbi Bill Siemers likes it to be. Many thanks again to all for a wonderful High Holidays and for making our temple a family! Footnote: Jaime, Steve Rosmarin, and I were talking to Cantress Wagner at the Tashlich service, raving about a PBS program which we had seen spotlighting a worldfamous cantor from N.Y.C., named Mendelson. He is a large man, much like Rabbi Gerlitz, who lives and breathes cantoring. His passion is contagious. Cantress Wagner said that she knows this all too well, since he was her teacher for two years when she was in training! His expression and passion for cantoring has carried forth in her song. Cantress Wagner is a very special person. Many congregants I have spoken with feel we should secure her services for next year as soon as possible, before she takes a job elsewhere and we miss out.
