R ABBI’ S M ESSAGE - F ROM R ABBI A DAM R UBIN
Perhaps because of our son, Elior’s loving embrace of his
new baby sister (most of the time), or the remarkably warm
and caring welcome we’ve received upon our arrival to
Seattle, I’ve been thinking a lot about love lately. Thoughts
of romance are appropriate this time of year, given the
jarring shift in the Jewish calendar from the fasting and
sorrow of Tisha B’Av to Tu B’Av - the fifteenth of Av - a
minor holiday devoted to matters of the heart. Called chag
ha-ahavah (the holiday of love) in contemporary Israel, Tu
B’Av has its earliest origins in the Mishnah, from which we
learn that “the daughters of Jerusalem” would dance in the
vineyards dressed in white on the fifteenth of Av (and on
Yom Kippur as well!), saying to their male suitors, “Young
man, lift up your eyes and see what you choose for
yourself…” (Ta’anit 4:8).
It is telling that this teaching, along with a more elaborate
discussion of the holiday in the Babylonian Talmud, is not
part of some separate section on romance or marriage, but
rather is embedded in a somber discussion of the meaning
and ritual practices surrounding Tisha B’Av. Unlike ancient
Greek philosophy - which later played a key role in
influencing Christianity - the Jewish tradition does not create
distinct categories for romantic love and religious passion;
there is no fixed boundary between Eros, passionate
physical love, and Agape, which implies love in the spiritual
sense. Indeed, Maimonides understands the second verse
from the Shemah (“You shall love Ha-Shem your God with
all your heart, soul, and might…”) as requiring a feeling for
God that can only be described as romantic:
What is the proper [degree] of love? It is when one
loves God with an exceedingly great love, until one’s
soul is bound up with the love of God. Thus will one be
always intoxicated with this love, as though sick with
love. For a lovesick person’s mind is never free of love
for one’s beloved, forever drunk with the thought of the
other -- when one sits down, gets up, eats and drinks.
Even greater than that should be the love for God in the
minds and hearts of those who love God, intoxicated
with it at all times, as we are commanded (Deut. 6:5) ".
. . with all your heart and with all soul. . . ." (Hilkhot
Teshuvah 10:3)
Lovesick? Intoxicated? The Rambam is clearly comfortable
extending feelings of romantic passion to our spiritual life, to
our relationship with the Holy Blessed One. But how can we
cultivate such an attachment to God? And perhaps even
more difficult, how can it be maintained over time?
The sages of the Talmud concede that like human
relationships, our connection to the Divine has ups and
downs, and the fires of first love can cool considerably over
time. This applies not only to our feelings for God, but the
reverse – God’s relationship with the people Israel:
It used to be said: “When love was strong, we could
have made our bed on the blade of a sword. Now that
our love is weak, a bed of ninety feet isn’t wide enough
for us.”
R. Huna said, “The same is hinted at in Torah. At the
beginning, it says, ‘And I will meet with you and speak

President’s Message
LEGACY
Over the last few months my life has been full of complex,
trying, beautiful and sometimes sad moments of transition.
Over a 6 week period starting in mid-May, whilst preparing
my Mom’s home for sale in Massachusetts, I was called to
Arizona to say good-bye to my Father-in-law who had gone
onto hospice. In the weeks following, a dear young friend
succumbed to his battle with cancer, my mother moved to
Seattle, and my dear friend and Beth Shalom member Tony
Moore went into the hospital at my insistence.

worships God out of love engages in Torah and
commandments.” In other words, the devotion and love we
invest into visiting those who are ill, inviting guests into our
homes, and praying and studying as a community (to take
just a few examples), are capable not only of expressing our
love for God, but of sustaining it.
While “love at first sight” might generate passionate
intensity for a while, time erodes even the most ardent love,
and even the Creator of the Universe isn’t immune from this
process!
Our relationship with God, just as with people, must be
carefully cultivated and nurtured over time to keep the fires
burning. Fortunately, Judaism provides a powerfully effective
“aphrodisiac.” Rambam puts it very simply: “A person who

can be just as traumatic. The members of the SAC try to do

High Holiday Liturgy as Inspira#on for T’Shuvah (Repentance)
Tuesdays, September 2nd, 9th, and 16th, 7:00—8:30 pm with Beth Huppin
This 8me of year we are expected to take stock of our lives as individuals as well as members of the Jewish people. Every year we
face these holidays, hoping for a fresh start with difficult rela8onships and with ourselves. But, true inner change is exceedingly difficult and, for some of us, the High Holiday liturgy can be experienced as a further barrier to change. It can feel judgmental and severe. How can the liturgy help us learn to be kinder to others and to ourselves? In this class we will look closely at selected recurring
prayers from the High Holiday liturgy. The Shofar blasts, the 13 a?ributes and the al het (communal confession list) will be explored.
Viewed in new ways, the liturgy can be a source of encouragement and strength. *Free Course*

Jewish Educator, Beth Huppin, and JFS Addic8ons Counselor, Laura Kramer, for a discussion of the High Holiday texts as they relate to
struggles of addic8on and suffering. Together, we’ll explore how Judaism allows for our missteps, as well as what it can teach us
about connec8on, community, and healing. This course is open to anyone touched by addic8on. *Free Course*
