The binding of Isaac. Jacob’s ladder. Moses and the burning bush. The giving of the Torah. Actually, I would phrase the question a little differently: why do so many of our peoples’ encounters with God take place out in nature, rather than in cities, towns, or villages? It certainly isn’t because we believe that God is not present in our own communities. Indeed, we are at great pains to insist that God is everywhere. So why does it seem that, historically at least, God only speaks to folks out in the wilderness? What is different about God out there in nature, in the deserts or the forests? I would suggest that what’s different is not God, but rather ourselves. I truly do believe that God is available everywhere. I believe that there are signs of God’s presence in everyday life. I just think that it’s much harder for us to see or hear them, to even notice them, surrounded by the distractions and the background noise of our day-to-day routines. I’m sure that if Moses had come upon the burning bush while hurrying to his next appointment in downtown Cairo he would have walked right past it! Out in the wilderness, accompanied only by a few sheep, he was able to notice the miracle. Perhaps this is true of all of us. Perhaps we’ve all missed a few burning bushes in our lives. There are just so many distractions. And yet many people say that they feel most “spiritual” out in the forest or on top of a mountain or camping in a desert. Somehow being out in nature quiets the static and the background noise. Our receptors may not be as finely tuned as Moses’, but still, this is where so many find it easier to truly feel that there is something greater than themselves at work in the world. In order to take advantage of this, this past year a few of us have been enjoying periodic spiritual walks in the wilderness. Part gentle hike, part discussion, part meditation, I have been surprised at how profoundly moving these 90-minute excursions have been for all of us. On September 28, the Sunday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we will hold our next walk, with a focus on teshuvah. It’s open to all and I would especially encourage you to attend if you are one of those who struggle to find meaning in the prayerbook, or who find it hard to find God in the sanctuary. It promises to be a beautiful addition to our High Holy Day season. Renée, Yoni, Avi and Shira join me in wishing you all a New Year filled with growth, blessings, and peace. L’shalom, Rabbi David Holtz Temple Beth Abraham 25 Leroy Avenue Tarrytown, NY 10591 Tel: 631-1770 Fax: 631-7872 www.tba-ny.org Notes from Cantor Margot E.B.

AgdernDavid Beryln Ruth Biloon Dr. Stephen Gertsman Robert Harris Michael Karnes David Kaufmann Farron Roboff Pearl Ann Schwartz Dr. Richard Weiner Robert Zinman Shalom! One of my favorite musicals is “Dreamgirls” and I love the refrain from the song “Family”: We are a family like a giant tree branching out of the sky We are a family, we are so much more than just you and I We are a family like a giant tree Growing stronger, growing wiser, we are growing free We need you, we are a family In Jewish thought, the tree is symbolic of the Torah and of the future. We call the Torah, etz chayim, the tree of life as it holds the stories, values, and laws we need to understand in order to live our lives. The following story about an old man planting a carob tree is attributed to Honi ha-M’agel, Honi the Circle Maker. Honi knew that the man would not live long enough to eat the fruit of the tree and asked why the old man would bother. The man replied “When I was born into this world, I found many carob trees planted by my father and grandfather. Just as they planted trees for me, I am planting trees for my children and grandchildren so they will be able to eat the fruit of these trees.” I consider TBA to be a family and love the image of us being a tree that is reaching to the sky, growing stronger, growing wiser and building a future. As the song says, “We are so much more than just you and I,” and yet we wouldn’t exist without you. Former members of TBA often join us for services to observe a yahrtzeit or for a lifecycle event of friends, and I happily greet them with a heartfelt “welcome home.” I say “welcome home” because I believe that once you are a member of TBA you are part of the family for life. Recently I received an email from a family informing me that they will be returning to TBA as members; and, in part, it is because of this greeting. They had joined us at services for a lifecycle event and were struck by my words and how they have always felt at home at TBA and have not found that feeling at the synagogue they currently belong to. They feel a part of the family. People leave TBA for all sorts of reasons; I hope that they know that if they want to return, we are here waiting with our doors wide open. I would like to say “welcome home” to all of you too! I hope that you have enjoyed your summer and that you will be returning home to TBA for the Holy Days and another year filled with worship, lifecycle events, adult education, Religious School, social events, friends, family, and a feeling that TBA is truly your home and extended family. We are so grateful that you have chosen to belong to TBA and look forward to celebrating, remembering, learning, and worshiping with you. We have spent the summer planning events that we think you will enjoy and would love to hear from you about what you might be looking for at TBA in the future. From my family to yours, Barry, Tamir and I would like to wish you a shanah tova u’mitukah, a good and sweet New Year. May it be filled with health and happiness. L’shalom, Cantor Margot E.B. Goldberg 4 PAGE 2 From the Director of Education 4 Rabbi Allison Berlinger “Kids don’t remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are.” — Jim Henson, It’s Not Easy Being Green: And Other Things to Consider It is true I don’t remember all of my teachers but I do remember some very specific ones. Those teachers who changed me, changed my life, those are the ones I remember. I became a rabbi because it is my vocation. It chose me first and then when I was ready, I chose it. I guess you might say that I followed my calling but in truth that sounds too simple. You see, I was very lucky as a child. My parents, or more aptly, my mother’s desire for her children to receive a strong Jewish education provided me with an excellent Jewish academic education. Along the way in my schooling, I had lots of great teachers, some brilliant and inspiring, some more brilliant than inspiring. Then I met my Rebbe, Reb Zalman Schachter Shlomi z”l. Reb Zalman is my Rebbe because he is the teacher at whose feet I sat learning and literally felt my heart opening again to Judaism or perhaps more honestly, my heart was reopening to God. Reb Zalman lit a fire that had grown dim deep inside me. He ignited a spark that allowed my love for Judaism and God flow. He helped me to reconnect with my inner core and be the person I am still evolving to be. In Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers) 1:6, Rabbi Joshua teaches: “select a masterteacher for yourself; and acquire a colleague for study.” So what does this mean? It means that at some point each of us arrives at a place where we need a masterteacher. Someone we allow in so that we can grow. And through this relationship you find a partner in learning. My Rebbe died on July 3, 2014, at the age of 89. I have thought more about Reb Zalman over these past weeks since his passing. I have been appreciating the gifts he gave me and learning of the gifts he gave to so many others. I don’t think I ever truly understood the teaching above from Pirkei Avot until Reb Zalman’s passing. Reb Zalman blessed me on the day I was given smicha (rabbinic ordination); he blessed me before I became pregnant with my daughter, Sophia; he blessed me every time I saw him. Every night when I put my girls to bed before we say the Shema, we sing a short song calling the angels Michael, Gavriel, Raphael, and Uriel and God’s divine presence to watch over my girls as they sleep. Each of these nights I can see Reb Zalman’s face smiling. I first heard this prayer song sung by Reb Zalman, and I believe that hearing my girls sing it with me now each night is a blessing of gratitude we offer him daily. I chose to be a Jewish teacher - a rabbi- because I want to inspire my students. I want to share my love of Judaism with my students. Through all of my conversations with the Temple Beth Abraham-religious school (TBA-RS) faculty we share in our hope that our students continue to build deep and lasting relationships with us. The TBA Religious School faculty is comprised of an amazing group of talented, gifted, and dedicated educators, individuals and spiritual nurturers. Their commitment to their students is strong and steadfast. They are truly a blessed group with continued on page 6 4 PAGE 3 The Temple office and building will be closed Monday, September 1 in observance of Labor Day The Office will be closed on Thursday, September 25 and Friday September 26 in observance of Rosh Hashanah.
