R6 FOOD & FRIENDS FOR THE BODY & SOUL

Over the last few years, over 100 people have participated in “Food and Friends for the Body and Soul.” It has been a tremendous success and those involved provide very positive feedback. We enjoyed the company of families and individuals in our homes and we hope that even more of you will take part in the fourth round coming up this fall.

The program consists of five (5) monthly potluck meetings. Most groups meet for dinner, some meet for brunch, or some choose to meet for a mix of brunch and dinner times. Meetings are hosted in a rotating fashion at participants’ homes. Participants study a variety of topics using texts provided by the organizers, as a foundation for conversation while sharing a meal. Groups are formed with a goal of individuals and families getting to know other congregants better and building bonds across neighborhoods within our CBS community.

Reviews from previous participants include: “...the community building aspect was the best for us. We met, ate, and conversed with people we didn’t know other than by sight for some of them and others I hadn’t even seen…” “Very congenial, well-matched group which really wanted to get better acquainted.” “Our group was wonderful! Great food, people, and conversation.” “My Shabbat table conversation will be enriched by this experience. I am motivated to include more study to deepen our conversation.” “It was interesting to discuss with other people how they live Jewishly and what diverse Jewish backgrounds they have.” I hope that many Beth Shalom congregants will choose to participate. I know that the experience enriched my life with wonderful conversation, fresh ideas, and new bonds with fellow congregants. And, the food was terrific! I think you will enjoy it. - Karin Madwed

2017-18 Curriculum—Healing and Holiness We are often taught that Judaism places a premium on preserving life (which is true), but the Jewish tradition's take on healing, medicine, and healthcare is actually much more complicated than that. Together, we'll learn about how rabbis and scholars across Jewish history thought about healing, and bound it up with theological questions, vision of a just society, and concerns about self-differentiation. We'll also explore how their approaches can inform our own takes on the current healthcare discussions.

Please indicate your group preferences. All groups are scheduled to meet on the same Sundays each month, and all groups study the same materials in a given month. Please complete both sides of this form.

R9 CBS @ 50 A Page from Our History

In celebration of Beth Shalom’s 50th Anniversary, we are looking at how far we’ve come, and also learning that some things never change. In September 1970, we dedicated our new building, which still stands as our current Social Hall. High Holidays were late that year, and our president, Jerry Becker, z”l, wrote an inspirational holiday message about rewards of volunteerism, and especially of building a synagogue. As Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote: “Every individual is a pillar on which the future of Judaism rests.”

Susan Sparks, Rabbi Sherre Hirsch, Rabbi David Wolpe among others, is inspired by the centuries-old Jewish tradition of the ethical will, and can serve as your companion on a journey of self-discovery and deepening relationships during this High Holiday season.

HH 7 HIGH HOLIDAY UPDATES

Kever Avot at Beit Shalom Cemetery Sunday, September 24th

from 11:00-Noon

It is traditional to visit the cemetery the Sunday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur; called Kever Avot, the literal translation is “graves of the fathers.” That particular date we honor our loved ones who now sleep with their elders. At the Beit Shalom cemetery section of Abbey View Cemetery, we will have a brief ceremony led by Sharon Greenberg, from 11:00am-Noon.

Included will be time to visit a specific gravesite or especially a grave of someone whose relatives are many miles away. Come and join your fellow congregants.

Selichot Opening the Door to Forgiveness: Let Go of The Injustices You Carry and Move Toward Healing with Rabbi Elana Zaiman

September 16, 2017 at 9:00pm Dessert and book signing at 10:00pm Selichot Service with Carl Sayres begins at 10:30pm

Please join us for Havdalah and inspiration from our own Rabbi Elana Zaiman, connected to her new book being published this September, to guide us into Selichot and prepare us for the High Holidays. Time for personal reflection with an interlude by flutist Trudy Antolin follows.

Elana’s book, The Forever Letter: Writing What We Believe for Those We Love, will be available for purchase and signing during dessert.

Elana Zaiman is the first woman rabbi from a family spanning six generations of rabbis. She serves as a chaplain in Seattle’s elder Jewish community and is a prolific writer. Elana travels throughout the US and Canada as a scholar-in-residence, speaker, and workshop facilitator. She has received rave reviews for her keynotes and workshops in synagogues, churches, interfaith-gatherings, social service agencies, geriatric residencies, law firms, women’s organizations, private salons, and elder-law and financial and estate-planning conferences.

Her book, The Forever Letter, released on September 8th, and endorsed by Parker J. Palmer, Jack Canfield, Michael Josephson, Rabbi Rachel Cowan, Rev. Susan Sparks, Rabbi Sherre Hirsch, Rabbi David Wolpe among others, is inspired by the centuries-old Jewish tradition of the ethical will, and can serve as your companion on a journey of self-discovery and deepening relationships during this High Holiday season.
