CONGREGATION NEVEH SHALOM HIGH HOLY DAYS 5779 A Special Note About This Year’s Rosh Hashanah Day 1 Services
On Rosh Hashanah, we come together as a community to reflect on the year that was and celebrate the possibilities ahead. To enhance both that sense of togetherness and also the energy and ruach of our services, this year we will be having a combined Shacharit service on the first day of Rosh Hashanah.
We will gather in the main sanctuary at 8:30am as our teens lead us in communal prayer.
At 9:45am, we’ll have a coffee and honey cake break. We hope this will allow everyone some precious moments to reconnect with friends and family.
At 10:00am sharp, the Torah service and Musaf will begin in two locations, the Main Sanctuary and Birnbach Hall.
We are always looking for ways to enhance social opportunities and the quality of our communal prayer. We look forward to hearing how you experience this new opportunity and wish you a sweet and happy year.

“Sound the Shofar at the New Moon; At the concealed time for our festival day.” -Psalm 81
Most of our Jewish holidays take place beneath a lunar sky. There’s a subtle beauty to a sukkah bathed in soft light. Our other pilgrimage festivals also occur when the moon is full or close to it. The exception to this is Rosh Hashanah. This is made explicit in the eighty-first psalm where we are instructed to blow the shofar when the moon is new and the time is concealed or covered. This is a literal description, for in an age before artificial illumination, the night sky was dark and lit only by star points.
Eliyahu Kitov, author of The Book of Our Heritage, draws from midrashic imagination to explain this practice. On Rosh Hashanah, everything is concealed. The Jewish people, who are compared to the moon, diminish our light before this day of judgement. Similarly, God “covers” or conceals our faults and errors so that we can be forgiven.
There’s another place in our midrash that speaks of concealment—namely that none of us know the day of our death. If we did, the argument goes, we wouldn’t bother to build a house or plant a vineyard. Why work so hard for something we won’t get to enjoy?
Hiddenness is an essential part of discovery and change. Often, it drives our curiosity. The television show,The Price is Right, banked on this drive to find out what was behind curtain number one. In a similar way, we tend to place a higher value on that which is rare and out of sight. Many people when dating carefully consider when and how to reveal secrets and private matters of the heart.
According to the first midrash, the ability to forget (cover our sins) also allows us a new lease on life. If we pay too much attention to what was—especially in areas of life where we didn’t live out our best selves—we can get stuck and unable to find our way forward. Renewal and the belief that we can change certainly require us to assess our actions. It also requires we turn a blind eye to our habits so that we can head in a new direction. New discoveries also require that we relinquish past conceptions. In the darkness of a new year, we are encouraged to seek the light.
This year, I’d like to invite you to participate in a new class or program at Neveh Shalom. Improve your Hebrew or synagogue skills; engage in young family activities, or, for those later in life, participate in our Wondering Jews series. Take part in acts of kindness and tikkun olam. Come to my “God for Grown-Ups” course where we will “cover up” our outdated notions of God so we can find the God we can believe in as sophisticated adults. Or attend our new series on Science and Spirituality.
May this be a year of new discoveries for you. Shanah tovah u’metukah,
Page 3 President Greeting
Dear Friends,
As I write this letter in anticipation of the Yamim Noraim, I begin to think how this is a time to celebrate our accomplish- ments of the past year, and also a time to reflect and assess the things we should have done but did not get a chance to do. And while there are things that we all regret, Judaism provides us with a path to use mistakes to grow forward. As the saying goes, it is Elul - be happy! And, when we hear the shofar blasts, let it awaken you. Cantor Ellen Dreskin once wrote “The shofar is narrow at the beginning and wide at the end. May we remember to begin with ourselves, and then open our hearts and our ears and our eyes to understand that we too can be bigger – we can be wider – and our smallest actions can make a huge difference in the world.”
We strive to create a safe, vibrant and inclusive kehillah in which members feel strongly connected to each other and to our heritage. We are blessed to have won- derful staff, clergy and lay leaders who are committed to making CNS a community of connection and encounter. Whether you are a new member or have been here for many years, please reach out to someone you don’t know and introduce yourself.
My one ask - “Help me” - by offering comments and suggestions on how our kehillah can best meet your needs as a member and as a Conservative Jew. If we are to celebrate our upcoming 150th anniversary along with surviving for another 150 years, we need your feedback and your participation.
Thanks for supporting Congregation Neveh Shalom - both spiritually, financially and with your time. I am proud and humbled to serve as your President and lead us as we embark on many wonderful journeys together. My family looks forward to spending time with each of you during these Days of Awe and throughout the year.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, the clergy and staff of CNS, along with my wife Allison and our daughters Eliana, Sarina and Adena - may you and your loved ones have a happy, healthy and fulfilling 5779.
L’Shana Tova Umetukah,

Special 2nd Day Rosh Hashanah Learning Experiences Tuesday, September 11
10:00am: Rav D’s High Holiday Guide Book to Startling Texts and Beloved Thoughts Rabbi David Kosak, Room 101 There are standard texts and key concepts to the high holidays. Teshuvah is the act of repentance, of making amends and committing to better living.Tze - dekah is our requirement to share our God-given bounty with those less fortu- nate. Tefillah, prayer, is the personal and collective manner in which we fulfill the requirement to make a space for our souls. In this session, we will look at some interesting and sometimes surprising takes on these classic ideas.
11:00am: Creating your Intentions for the New Year Amy Katz, Room 101 Rosh Hashanah gives us an opportunity to turn inward. The Rabbis call this in- trospection cheshbon nefesh, an accounting of the soul. The high-holiday sea- son can inspire our potential for transformation. On the secular New Year some make resolutions. This session will give us an opportunity to etch our intentions for the new year upon our hearts. Hebrew and English texts. All are welcome.
12:00pm: Accessing Meaning During Prayer Mel Berwin, Room 101 Some of us pray spontaneously at key moments of our lives. Others pray routinely. Whether we are accustomed to prayer or not, many have a hard time articulating what we believe prayer really does. We’ll delve into texts that open many possibilities for accessing a meaningful experience of prayer. Texts in Hebrew and English. All are welcome.
Special Yom Kippur Alternative Torah Experience Wednesday, September 19
10:00am: Entering the Holy of Holies: Storytelling and the High Priest Brian Rohr, Room 112 Jewish storyteller Brian Rohr shares a dramatic story about the High Priest who, on this day of Yom Kippur only, entered the Holy of Holies, to stand before YHVH on behalf of the people. Brian’s story, suitable for teens and adults, will set inten- tion as we enter our own individual “holy of holies” on this most sacred of days. Page 9 Family Services
Children are welcome in EVERY service at Neveh Shalom. You are also invited to these services specifically designed for children and families. v On Erev Rosh Hashanah and Second day, family services are led by Rabbi Eve Posen. v On 1st Day Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, family services are led by Morah Leah Conley (Foundation School Director), Mel Berwin (Director of Congregational Education) and ALIYAH teachers. v Attendees to any High Holy Day service must have a ticket to enter the building; including for family services, except for 2nd Day Rosh Hashanah where no ticket is needed. v Parents are expected to stay and participate with children in Family Services. We realize you may not be able to accompany each of your children to the age-appropriate service. We welcome younger or older siblings at every family service and we encourage you to attend the one that feels like the best fit for your family. v Family Services have been scheduled to allow parents to attend the Rabbis’ sermons in either of the main services. v Family services provide a wonderful opportunity for you to daven, pray, with your children but do not have to replace adult prayer time. Childcare is available for children ages five and younger and we have a game room for children in grades 1-5 at the end of family services.
We wish your family a Shanah Tovah — a very sweet and happy New Year!
