RABBI’S MESSAGE Coming Home or Coming It is powerful when we gather together as a Together I recently came across a community in another house of worship on the Sunday picture of a synagogue in the midst evening before Thanksgiving.

And it is a statement of noted that the reconstruction and holiness and friendship when we help support mourners building will be completed by the in their times of need. It is inspiring when I walk into High Holidays this year, in order to a shivah home and recognize almost all of the faces, be in the building for the upcoming because it is our community out in full force supporting holidays. our own. It is moving when I hear about our members As I looked at the picture and thought about the walking together for the Crop Walk and when I hear caption, I wondered about the target goal. I wondered if about our community staffing the shelter through Family the importance of being back in the sanctuary for the Promise for families in need. And it is of course always High Holidays was of ultimate priority. fun to see pictures of our community after a trip to the This year will mark the thirty-seventh year on the hill theater or after a sight-seeing adventure. and our eighty-ninth year as a community.

We will be under one roof, celebrating the march from Westwood to Woodcliff Lake and marveling High Holidays. We know we are blessed to be together at the synagogue building. As we talk about the past, we in our synagogue building. But, in truth, the essence is sometimes forget that a lot more than the march has not where we are, but that we are together –all together – happened in the eighty-nine year history of the praying together and reconnecting with God and one synagogue.

CANTOR’S NOTES This, then, is the task of preparing for Rosh Hashanah: A student once went to the head discovering the right questions to ask as we look-over of his Yeshiva Day School and asked ourselves. And then, when we come to shul – alone, or permission to leave the school and go with our family and friends – we bring the questions home early. ― “I am a hazzan, he with us. Somewhere within the machzor, in the music, in explained, and I need to back home the company of daveners, perhaps even in the words of a and look over the Machzor.” The sermon, we find the strength to find the answers. And principal replied, “The Machzor has somewhere, from within, from around us, we find the not changed since last year, but you strength to direct our lives, to renew our days as of old. have. Better you go home and look This ultimately is the gift of Rosh Hashanah. Each year over yourself!” we are reminded to ask these questions. And each year There are two tasks that each of us must do as we we are given the opportunity to change. We don’t have to prepare for the High Holidays. One is to look over the wait until the final stages of life before we look back on Machzor and prepare carefully the words we will use. our entire 120 years and find ourselves disappointed in This year at TEPV, we are most fortunate to be using a the way our lives have turned out. We don’t have to live, new Machzor for our High Holiday worship, Machzor Lev or die, with regrets. And this is a beautiful thing. Shalem.

There is another, more difficult and more important task that we must do to prepare for Rosh Hashanah and High Holiday Security Reminder

Yom Kippur. We must look inside ourselves to see how Temple Emanuel regularly receives notifications from state and we have changed since this time last year.

The answers to these questions, and more, are known and knowable by each of us. Once having asked the High Holiday Security Reminder question, the answer usually presents itself. Temple Emanuel regularly receives notifications from state and 3 national Jewish organizations regarding security alerts. Jewish institutions are at an increased risk at the High Holidays and therefore at a heightened state of alert, even though no specific threats exist of which we are aware. In our ongoing effort to remain vigilant and provide a safe and secure worship

They have a right to be treated by adults with tenderness and respect, as equals. They should be allowed to grow into whoever they were meant to be - The unknown person inside each of them is the hope for the future.” I look forward to a wonderful year! Jessica Friedman
