They are: honoring one’s father and mother, engaging in deeds of compassion, arriving early for study morningShalom and evening, dealing graciously with guests, visiting the sick, providing for the wedding couple, accompanying the dead for burial, being devoted in prayer, and making peace among people. But theTemple study of Torah encompasses them all.

The word OcVLB kibud, honor, has as its root OFS]B kaveid — heavy; it can be a burden to honor another. In honoring those who have given us life orUse sustenance, we honor the Source of Life.

WE NEED Jewish men and women to become a Jewishly inspired and informed leadership — not only rabbinical but also lay. We need Jews more conversant with the thought and teachings of Judaism, to whom Judaism is no cold remote theology and Hebrew learning a matter of Shalommystical ignorance, and to whom Jewish culture is no proxied culture. We need a reassertion of faith and a reawakening of interest in a cultural heritage that is all too rapidly being relegated to the exclusive possession of graduates of rabbinical seminaries. . . . We desperately need such lay leaders today with vision and fortitude. Paula Ackerman Temple In

When the commandment For of God awakes in humanity, freedom also opens its eyes; and where freedom commences, history begins. Leo Baeck How can we exercise our humanity in the direction of goodness?

STUDY TEXTS Tzitzit Mah Tovu Asher Yatzar AS SOON AS, in accordance with Jewish teaching, your lives have been touched by Elohai N’shamah aspiration, all your windows are thrown open and the light of infinite hope enters. Then the community as a whole demands your help and you dare not say, “Why Nisim B’chol Yom bother?” . . . Let us consider well, in the light of religion, what are the things worth Laasok bothering about. Perhaps we shall find ourselves bothering about mere trivialities — Only V’haarev Na indulging in fears which have no foundation now and never will have any reality. Eilu D’varim Perhaps we are wasting our opportunities altogether or using them in a futile way. Let Kaddish us pray for guidance, and as we pray let us remember that when all the rubbish is D’Rabanan pushed to one side, there are many things which we shall have to bother about, which concern us immensely because they concern the wellbeing of the community as a whole. . . . In spite of our absurd inadequacy, in spite of all our weaknesses, [we can] affect by our lives, the life of humanity in its progress towards God.Services Lily Montagu

PRAYER GIVES US the guidance we need. It opens the mind to the illumination of God. The prophets made their whole life an act ofVirtual prayer — so they received the inspiration of God. Our humbler minds, standing much below the heights in which they stood, receiving for the most part only a reflected illumination, may now and then by climbing a little higher catch a glimpse of the direct light. Through prayer, we can receive the guidance of God to strengthen our hold on truth, goodness, righteousness and purity which are the laws for humanity emanating from the nature of God. Shalom Israel I. Mattuck

WHY FIXED PRAYERS? To learn what we should value, what we should pray for. To be at one with our people, the household of Israel. To ensure that the ideals painfully learned and purified, and for which many have lived and died, shall not perish fromTemple the community, and shall have a saving influence upon the individual.

Its highest teaching is love and kindness. What is hateful to you, do not do to any person.

That is theTemple whole Torah; all the rest is commentary. Go and learn it. ThoseIn who study Torah are the true guardians of civilization. Honoring one another, doing acts of kindness, and making peace: these are our highest duties. UseBut the study of Torah is equal to them all, because it leads to them all.

If you banish the yoke from your midst, the menacing hand, the evil speech; if you offer compassion to the hungry and satisfy the famished creature — then your light shall shine in darkness.Shalom

O GUARDIAN of life and liberty, may our nation always merit Your protection. Teach us to give thanks for what we have by sharing it with those who are in need. Keep ourTemple eyes open to the wonders of creation, and alert to the care of the earth. MayIn we never be lazy in the work of peace; may we honor those who have died in defense of our ideals. Grant our leaders wisdom and forebearance. May they govern with justice and compassion Use Help us all to appreciate one another, and to respect the many ways that we may serve You. May our homes be safe from affliction and strife, For and our country be sound in body and spirit. Amen.

S’firat HaOmer, the Counting of the Omer: And from the day on which you bring the omer offering —Use the day after the day of rest — you shall count off seven weeks. They must be complete. Leviticus 23:15 Pesach and Shavuot are respectively the times of harvesting barley and wheat. Torah therefore For called for sacrifices of thanksgiving for the seven weeks in between. “Omer” denoted the measure of grain being offered. The Rabbis designed a ritual of counting the days, a practice that has been interpreted as bringing to consciousness our people’s movement from slavery to Sinai. The purpose of freedom is not simply freedom from servitude, but freedom to devote ourselves to God’s purposes. 570 Taking Up the Lulav

Yizkor MY MOTHER’S MOTHER died in the spring of her days. And her daughter did not remember her face. Her portrait, engraved upon my grandfather’s heart, was erased from the world of images after his death.

Only her mirror remained in the home, sunken with age into the silver frame. And I, her pale granddaughter, who does not resemble her, look into it today as into a pool which conceals its treasures beneath the waters. Only

Very deep, behind my face, I see a young woman pink-cheeked, smiling and a wig on her head. She puts an elongated earring on her earlobe, threading it through a tiny hole in the dainty flesh of her ear. Very deep, behind my face, Services the bright goldness of her eyes sends out rays, and the mirror carries on the tradition of the family: that she was very beautiful. Virtual

Aleinu, one of our oldest prayers, was composed to introduce the sound of the shofar on Rosh HaShanah, announcing God’s ultimate and universal rule.

>9KB?M 'ETemple5#M Tikkun olam (literally, “repairing the world”) originally (second-third century) referred to rabbinic legislation to remedy specific social ills or legal injustices. In the E7L@+K9? Aleinu, composedIn about the same time, it represents acts by God to replace this imperfect world with the legal and moral perfection of divine rule. Sixteenth-century kabbalistic thought applied the term to human action, shifting the responsibility for perfecting the world onto us. UseThe oneness of God is declared in the ?IGA= Sh’ma. Yet that oneness is not apparent in the world. Human action can bring oneness and peace to all. Elyse D. Frishman The Jewish idea of redemption compels us to imagine a perfect world, a world that has reached its For full potential. Poetry asks the same of its language; poetry at its best imagines a perfect language, which can impart all the nuances, meanings, and music that it never quite achieves in our everyday speech. When understood well, poetry and redemption can help us remake our world: a brilliant line of poetry can place a new link in the chain of our thought and language; and the idea of redemption helps us to look beyond our lives towards a world of possibility.

1. WHEN I DIE give what’s left of me away Services to children and old men that wait to die. And if you need to cry, cry for your brother walking the street beside you. And when you need me, put your arms around anyone and give them what you need to give me. Virtual I want to leave you something, something better than words or sounds. Look for me in the people I’ve known or loved, and if you cannot give me away, at least let me live in your eyes and notShalom in your mind. You can love me best by letting hands touch hands, by letting bodies touch bodies, and by letting go of children that need to be free. Love doesn’t die, people do.

The Kaddish is a of praise to God For and a prayer for the speedy establishment of God’s sovereignty on earth, recited at the conclusion of rabbinic study and exposition of Scripture. In its essence it is not a mourner’s prayer, and various forms of the Kaddish are used to mark the conclusion of each part of the service. The custom of reciting Kaddish for a year (or eleven months) after the death of a parent and on the anniversary of that death (Yahrzeit) originated in the Rhineland during the Crusades (eleventh century). 592 Aleinu and Mourner’s Kaddish

2. Mourner’s Kaddish IN NATURE’S EBB AND FLOW, God’s eternal law abides. When tears dim our vision or grief clouds our understanding, we often lose sight of God’s eternal plan. Yet we know that growth and decay, life and death, all reveal a divine purpose. God who is our support in the struggles of life, is also our hope in death. Only We have set God before us and shall not despair. In God’s hands are the souls of all the living and the spirits of all flesh. Under God’s protection we abide, and by God’s love are we comforted. O Life of our life, Soul of our soul, cause Your light to shine into our hearts, and fill our spirits with abiding trust in You. Services

THE LIGHT OF LIFE is a finite flame. Like the Shabbat candles, Virtual life is kindled, it burns, it glows, it is radiant with warmth and beauty. But soon it fades, its substance is consumed, and it is no more.

In light we see; Shalom in light we are seen. The flames dance and our lives are full. But as night follows day, the candle of our life burns down and gutters. There is an end to the flames. We see noTemple more andIn are no more seen, yet we do not despair, for we are more than a memory slowly fading into the darkness. UseWith our lives we give life. Something of us can never die: we move in the eternal cycle For of darkness and death, of light and life.

4.  WHY should I wish to see God better than this day?

6. Mourner’s Kaddish IT IS HARD to sing of oneness when the world is not complete, when those who once brought wholeness to our life have gone, and naught but memory can fill the emptiness their passing leaves behind.

But memory can tell us only what we were, in company with those we loved; it cannot help us find what each of us, alone, must now become. Only Yet no one is really alone: those who live no more, echo still within our thoughts and words, and what they did is part of what we have become.

We do best homage to our dead when we live our lives more fully, even in the shadow of our loss. For each of our lives is worth the life of the whole world; Services in each one is the breath of the Ultimate One. In affirming the One, we affirm the worth of each one whose life, now ended, brought us closer to the Source of life, in whose unity no one is alone and every life findsVirtual purpose.

8.  WHEN CHERISHED TIES are broken, and the chain of love is shattered, only trust and the strength of faith can lighten the heaviness of the heart. At times, the pain of separation seems more than we can bear, but if we dwell too long on our loss, we embitter our hearts and harm ourselves and those about us. The Psalmist said that in his affliction, he learned the law of God. And in truth, grief is a Only great teacher, when it sends us back to serve and bless the living. We learn how to counsel and comfort those who, like ourselves, are bowed with sorrow. We learn when to keep silent in their presence, and when a word will assure them of our love and concern.

Thus, even when they are gone, the departed are with us, moving us to live as, in their higher moments, they themselves wished to live. We remember them now; they live in our hearts; they are an abiding blessing. Services

9. WE HAVE LIVED in numberless towns and villages; andVirtual in too many of them we have endured cruel suffering. Some we have forgotten; others are sealed in our memory, a wound that does not heal. A hundred generation of victims and martyrs; still their blood cries out from the earth. And so many, so many at Dachau, at Buchenwald, at Babi Yar . . .

What can we say? What can we do? How bear the unbearable, or accept what life has brought to our people? All who are bornShalom must die, but how shall we compare the slow passage of time with the callous slaughter of the innocent, cut off before their time?

They lived with faith. Not all but many. And, surely, many died, with faith in God, in life, in the goodness that even flames cannot destroy. May we find a way to the strength of that faith, that trust, that sure sense that life and soul endure beyond this body’s death.
