The Rabbi’s Corner
Sounding the Shofar is not listening to it.
Rabbi Arturo Kalfus
tense.
This year, Rosh HaShanah falls at the
beginning of October. By the time it
arrives, the school year will have begun,
we will have returned from vacations to
our regular routines and we may be full
of “projects” to accomplish and deadlines that we must keep. I am sure that by
the beginning of October, many of us are
going to feel pressured, exhausted and
It is within this context in our Jewish calendar that we set
apart some days to break this routine and dedicate ourselves
to improve ourselves and ask for forgiveness. We have learned
to value these High Holy Days, in part, because to improve
ourselves is no easy task and the presence of community, the
liturgy, the music, the sanctuary setting, all facilitate our personal reflections and the process of turning if we have veered
off our path.
Authors Annette and Eugene Labovitz remind us that this process begins with the listening to the shofar. They write that the
Torah describes the rituals of Rosh HaShanah, the New Year
with the verses, “And in the seventh month, on the first day of
the month…it shall be a day of introspection”…and “it shall
be a day of sounding of the Shofar”.
The sounding of the shofar is not necessarily the most important task. It is the listening (lishmoah kol shofar) that is crucial. The Rabbis explained: each and every person should hear
its message, for “lishmoah”, to listen, means not only to listen,
but to make a conscious effort to hear, to take advice, to give
heed. The shofar blower sounds the shofar, but the congregation may or may not hear. The message of the shofar may or
may not penetrate the hearts of the worshippers.
The word “lishmoah”, to listen, leads us to an internal act. To
listen means to understand the significance, to act on the message, to internalize the action: to heed the cry of the suffering,
to raise up the downtrodden, to look back for the purpose of
self-improvement.
Simply sounding the shofar (external) adds to the beauty of
the prayer service, but listening (internal) demands that we
change our actions in conformity with its message.
May each one of you start this High Holy Days season having “listened” to our internal voices and having struggled to
overcome our faults.
From my heart to yours,

Music Happenings at Temple
Unetaneh Tokef literally means, “we give power” On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur we give
the prayer power, and the day power, when we realize what is at stake. What gives Yom Kippur
its awesome authority? The recognition of its central message that we are mortal, we will not
live forever. Therefore we must repent now, and repair now the broken relationships of your life.
“The great shofar is sounded and a still, small voice is heard” The call to prayer is the shofar, whose piercing, plaintive notes grab our attention. But on the heels of the shofar is the soft
voice. The message of prayer is in the stillness and silence. God does not speak in thunderous
pronouncements, but in a small, insistent tone. God will not take away our choice by forcing us
to listen. On Yom Kippur we attune our ears and our hearts to really listen to God’s call, so easily ignored, but so overwhelming once we attend to it.
“Who shall live and who shall die?” asks the Unetaneh Tokef each year on Yom Kippur, as we
look around, and notice the absences, of those who are gone. The question becomes real, and its
truth begins to strike us: we do not know who will live and who will die.
Kelly Onickel, Cantorial Soloist
“Who shall die by fire and who by water, who by sword and who by wild beast; who by famine and who by thirst, who by
strangling and who by stoning . . .” Gradually the message begins to force itself upon us. Every stratagem of poetry and ritual
is employed to teach us something we already know, that we will die. But although we know it, we do not feel it. We hide behind
power and position and title in this world. But when we face our own deaths, we are only I, the essence of each individual soul.
Death brings us face-to-face with who we are. The Unetaneh Tokef urges us to feel it now, confront our mortality, see ourselves,
and face God.
“But repentance, prayer and tzedakah avert the severity of the decree.” The decree comes to all, great and small, rich or
poor. But a life of closeness, of teshuvah, of kindness, envelops us in a loving community, and a relationship to God that is close.
“Our origin is dust and our end is dust. At the hazard of our life we earn our bread. We are like a fragile vessel, like the
grass that withers, the flower that fades, the shadow that passes, the cloud vanishes, the wind that blows, the dust that disperses, the dream that flies away.” Finally we come to understand our fragility. The prayer has beaten down our resistance and
we understand. Alone, mortal, we are nothing. What are we to do with the inevitability of death?
“But You, Sovereign of all, are the Living and Everlasting God ... We therefore pray that our name be linked with Yours.”
We are fading, but God is forever. If we recognize our plight, we find in ourselves the need for God, and the path to God. Then
we have joined the only thing in the world that does not fade away. Above the clamor of the everyday, and the din of history,
the message of Unetaneh Tokef shines: There is so little time. When the shofar blows, let the shudder of mortality awaken your
soul. Come out of hiding, and seek the eternity promised by our covenant with God. (Synopsis of Rabbi David Wolpe’s Unetaneh
Tokef)
Although the Unetaneh Tokef prayer speaks about
death it is really about living. Perhaps as we sing this
prayer this High Holiday season you will reflect on
how those who have gone before us lived their lives
and maybe remember what they taught. Perhaps we
will reflect on how we have chosen to live our lives
and is it worthy of being linked to God? As The
Unetaneh Tokef prayer tells us we will die, but if we
live a life of teshuvah, of kindness, and as a loving
community then we will be connected to God the one
thing that does not die.

Dear All: The year 5776 is rapidly nearing its end. For
me and my family, it's been a very good year, but I
know that is not true for all. Some have been ill; some
have lost family or friends; some have had other worries I cannot even fathom.
Why do I mention this? It's because I want to do the
little I can to help ease your cares. And my formula is
Dennis Kayes
to remind you that, whatever your problems, Temple
Emanu-El is here to help. In fact, to me, helping in these situations
is one of the prime reasons we exist. Not only have our clergy been

we have the Caring Community, which is always here when needed.
Remember, we want to help you celebrate the joys in your lives--the

also want to help in the not-so-joyous times.
Please remember, we're here to help. My best to all,

September is here and as we embark on our new academic

School office. The shelves are tidy, the student packets are
ready and the teachers are prepped!
My family and I are about to begin our first school year in
Michigan, with Ben as a rising 6th Grader and Yael as a
madricha entering her senior year. We have spent the last
month exploring our new neighborhood and community and
New Education Director meeting as many people as possible.
Abi Taylor-Abt
One of the most important things we learn from the Torah
is how to treat strangers. We are told to remember that we ourselves were strangers in
Egypt and to have empathy and compassion for those people who are new. We learn
from Abraham and Sarah about hospitality and making people feel welcome.
Discovering what is needed to enable someone to feel comfortable and secure is
different depending on who you talk to. For a child, it could be the familiarity of a
favorite stuffed animal, or the bedtime routine that doesn’t change regardless of
where they are. For an adult, knowing what is expected, where things are, who to
speak to and how to fit in within the local societal norms.
Judaism is very specific about strangers and by its very definition, someone new is
a stranger. “You yourselves know how it feels to be a stranger, because you were
strangers in Egypt”.
We may be the newcomers in town, but we have already had a wonderful welcome to
the community. We are enjoying the excitement of meeting our families and friends
as time goes by.

many of them are not able to leave their facilities very often. She was right!
The seniors enjoyed the shows so much. They were singing and clapping
along. It was a true mitzvah!

The first day of school is often a concern for children, even if they are returning to a familiar environment. Be sure to acknowledge your child’s fears and anxiety when you
drop him/her off. Explain that you will be back to pick up following a
certain activity, such as after lunch or after nap. This is easier for children to understand rather than giving them a time of day. Helpful tips
from EarlychildhoodNews.com include the following:
Eileen Brand

Upcoming Dates:
Sat., Oct. 29, 2016 @ 9:30
• Prepare your child. Hang a calendar in your child’s room so that
they can mark off the days until school begins. This allows your
children to visually see how long it will be until school starts.
Fri., Nov. 18, 2016 @ 5:45

Sat Feb. 18, 2017 @ 9:30
• Back-to-school shopping. School shopping can prove to be fun
when your children take part in choosing their school supplies, new
clothes, lunch boxes, backpacks, etc.
• Discuss your children’s expectations. Ask your children what
they expect about returning to school. Read books about children
starting school, which are appropriate for their age/grade level. You
can address any feelings that your child might have about starting
school: new adventures, making new friends, separation anxiety,
etc. Make sure to ask them if they have any questions or concerns
about returning to school and address any possible fears that they
might have.
• Let your child know you care. Write your child a little note and
put it in their lunch/snack bag to remind them that you think of
them during the day

High Holy days Appeal
A Culture of Giving
NOW is the Time
When we as a community say, “this is
important to us,” we proudly prioritize
our faith in the community and the world.
The continuation of Judaism in our homes
and in our community is vital to our
existence. In Hebrew, Kulanu means
“all of us together.” Kulanu is our way of
thinking about sustaining our community
to ensure that our financial future is strong.
The Days of Awe are upon us. We
begin the new year with an overall
commitment to use our tools, talents
and resources to best benefit the
Temple Emanu-El community. We ask
for your support.
Thank You!
Join us Souper
Supper in the

We do not like to ask for money, and we know that many of you already give to
your best ability. We do ask, however, that each of you do your best and join us in
supporting our Temple Emanu-El community. The Torah does not give us a pass on
doing Tzedakah.
We do not accept monetary donations on Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur,
so please return the pledge card by mail or as you enter or exit our sanctuary.
May each of us be inscribed for a Good Year!

Maimonides $140 • New testament $210 • Psalms $140
Maimonides’ Guide for the Perplexed
8 weeks, 7:00 pm Mondays beginning October 31
Moses ben Maimon (1138-1204), known as Maimonides and Rambam, was an Aristotelian religious rationalist who did not
believe that God had direct contact with or influence in our world, which put him in conflict with the Jewish Biblical literalists
of his day. In his Guide for/of the Perplexed, he affirms that there can be no contradiction between the religious truths about
God and the findings of the human mind in science and philosophy. Maimonides was harshly criticized by Ashkenazi rabbinic
authorities and his Guide was banned. Rabbi Klein will discuss selected readings from the Guide. Exploring the Psalms
8 weeks, 7:00 pm Wednesdays beginning October 26
This course will closely examine selected Biblical psalms with a focus on their structure, word-play and literary sophistication.
The Psalms have become an important part of our Jewish liturgy and for the Christian community. The poetry and theology of
the Psalms transcend their almost 3000 year history. It is significant that the Psalter (the Book of Psalms) was a the first book
ever printed in the American colonies—The Bay Psalm Book. Though the Hebrew texts of the Psalms will be referenced,
Hebrew ability is not required. Students should bring their own Bible.
A Jewish Understanding of the New Testament
12 weeks, 9:30 am Wednesdays beginning September 21
The three “Synoptic Gospels” of Matthew, Mark and Luke, and the fourth unique Gospel of John separately tell the story of
Jesus, his mission and message to the Jews. Paul’s New Testament Epistles are the earliest record of the “Jesus Movement.”.
The gospels will be examined for their perspectives on Jews and Judaism and as windows into the development and evolution
of the early church. Paul’s letters will be read to understand how his theology, a blending of Hellenistic thought and Jewish
history, explains his “conversion” and impact on the community of Jesus-believers in the late 1st Century. Students should bring
a copy of the New Testament.
