We have come together in person and on Zoom, in mixed presence, for Shabbat services. We have gathered together in mixed presence in the TI garden for Shabbat and we have plans for mixed presence for the High Holy Days. We are slowly learning what the next normal will look like. It has felt so good to shake a hand, to hug, and to hear beautiful music in person. Some of us may feel uncomfortable being onsite, therefore programming and connection will continue virtually as well. Laurence Bailen Our ongoing goal is to ensure that all who come through our doors, physically or virtually, feel Board President at home and feel like they belong. We will strive to continue to be a community where anyone can feel they can live Judaism together through discovery, dynamic spirituality, and righteous impact. This year we will continue to welcome you back onsite to Temple Israel and at the same time strengthen our technology to ensure a seamless online presence. We will build on our efforts over the past year on racial equity, diversity, and inclusion by continuing to aim to be a place where everyone feels welcome. Our Inventing our Future task force will work with our Board and Leadership Council to make certain that Temple Israel adapts and innovates on future challenges. We will innovate, not just in programming, but also in our physical and virtual spaces to transform and elevate how people experience their Judaism and Temple Israel. In order for Temple Israel of Boston to continue to succeed and grow in the future we need all of you to be with us in whatever ways feel most comfortable to you. If you have not had the opportunity to renew your membership, we invite you to do so now. Your ongoing involvement is key to our success as a community. I wish you, your families, and loved ones a safe, healthy, and happy 5782. Shanah Tovah! As we transition into summer, we're also transitioning into a new phase of the pandemic. Incredibly, we are able to carefully open our doors for you to join us, but everyone who is 12 and over and eligible for the vaccine must be fully vaccinated. After spending the last year and a half working out of a mostly empty building – a building that was designed to cultivate community and connection – it's been such a joy to begin to see you return! Our staff is working hard to create a safe and inviting space for you to join us for our Grand Homecoming. There is an electric energy filling the space as we reunite physically onsite. When you're ready – we cannot wait for you to Dan Deutsch join us, and to lend your voice to our harmony. When you do return, please continue to provide Executive Director feedback and let us know about your experience of reentering our physical space. Looking to the fall, our High Holy Day planning is well underway and we will be ready to embrace our journey through the holidays. You should have recently received our mailing with all of the important details for the High Holy Days; hopefully it answers any questions you may have. You can also explore our plans and register for various classes and opportunities at our newly redesigned website: www.tisrael.org. I also wanted to officially welcome Rabbi Andrew Oberstein as he returns to Temple Israel to start his rabbinate. Please save the date for Rabbi Oberstein’s installation on Friday October 15th. It will be a night of celebration and joy. We can’t wait to see you onsite back at Temple Israel, but please know that we're here for you no matter what, either onsite or online. 4 Living Judaism together through discovery, dynamic spirituality, and righteous impact. FROM THE SENIOR RABBI A High Holy Day Message from Rabbi Elaine Zecher: The Jonah Story Prevails “Out of my distress, I called to the Eternal.” (Jonah 2:3) The Biblical reluctant prophet uttered these words in the great fish that caught him in its Rabbi Elaine Zecher mouth. For three days and nights, Jonah fell silent in his fear. Who could blame him? In that Senior Rabbi moment, he was caught between life and death, trapped inside a very dark place. God had called him to Nineveh and instead Jonah ran the other way and ended in the depths of despair. What a fabulous tale the Bible offers us. Why canonize a story that seems impossible to be true? Thomas Paine called it a “tale of unrestrained imagination.” Commentators twisted themselves into knots to authenticate such a bizarre narrative with explanations of the whale as a ship or even an inn! The author, Erica Brown, cautions us not to be confined to the literal meaning but instead to view the story as a “fear inducing tool of self-confrontation…representing the in between, liminal space that trapped Jonah for three days and nights.”1 But, what if it really could happen? This summer, we delighted in the successful outcome of the lobster fisherman, Michael Packard, who found himself in the jaws of a whale off the coast of Provincetown, though far from Nineveh. “I got down to about 45 feet of water and all of a sudden I just felt this huge bump and everything went dark,” he said. “I could sense that I was moving and I was like, ‘Oh my God, did I just get bit by a shark?’ and then I felt around and I realized there was no teeth, and I had felt really no great pain and then I realized, ‘Oh my God, I’m in a whale’s mouth. I’m in a whale’s mouth, and he’s trying to swallow me.’”2 In that moment, he, too, confronted his mortality and immediately felt the pang of what mattered to him: his wife and two sons. In that place of darkness, he had to figure out his own path toward his salvation as he tried to move and dislodge himself. Like the Biblical story, the whale breached to the surface and spewed out its mistaken prey. Phew! Though it was called a rare accident by the experts, it happened nonetheless. The message of the event prevails as well. The Jonah story is part of what we share on Yom Kippur. His whale of a tale transports us to a place of “unrestrained imagination” to confront our own experience of life. Though we might not see ourselves held by the tongue of a monstrous fish or deep in its belly, these holidays challenge us to consider our lives and the path to our redemption. We are vulnerable. Will we allow ourselves to be swallowed up by it or insist it release us back to life? Can we use these moments to transform us and to consider the way we can live a full life of kindness and righteousness? We enter this holiday season bruised by some of the experiences of this past year and yet, we can emerge into the loving embrace of the prayerful encounter offered by these days. On behalf of Cantor Alicia Stillman, Rabbis Suzie Jacobson, Dan Slipakoff, Andrew Oberstein, as well as Rabbis Ronne Friedman, Bernard Mehlman, and Cantor Roy Einhorn, I wish you a healthy, blessed, and sweet new year. 1 Page 58, The Reluctant Prophet, Erica Brown 2017 2 The Boston Globe, "A Lobster Diver Says He was Caught in the Mouth of a Humpback Whale," June 11, 2021 www.tisrael.org/insight | 617-566-3960 5 Welcome home!

  • 2005 Alumni Newsletter(PDF)
    Summer 2005 Dear FOOT Leaders Alums, Greetings and I hope I find all of you well. This was a long winter and spring in the east—a bitter cold winter followed by a cool and wet spring—the coolest May on record for a very long time. Maybe summer has finally burst upon us—I hope so. I got the FOOT listserv up and running again—please don’t be too timid to use it! Remember if you want to be taken off, just let me know and the same goes for if you want to be on it. I mentioned something about retiring soon and all of a sudden people starting sending in retirement notes—I just meant it is down the road in the near future, but not tomorrow! You are still stuck with me for a few years. Welcome to the Class of 2005 who have now joined our ranks—that means about 600 of you! But some news of semi-retirement is that of Betty Trachtenberg who is retiring from the freshman year duties in January 2006. I still do not know who the new dean for the freshman year will be. I’m sure Betty would love to hear from any of you that remember she was the administrator who totally supported FOOT from the beginning: [email protected]. The FOOT reunion last summer in Vermont was great fun. We started the event in the rain and yet everyone’s spirits was high. In fact, some leaders mentioned that it wouldn’t truly be a FOOT experience without some rain! We had a total of 43 people counting all the FOOT kids—and they were wonderful.

  • 619 the Constant, the Variable, and the Bad Wolf in Lost and Doctor
    PREVIOUSLY ON The Constant, the Variable, and the Bad Wolf in Lost and Doctor Who Kristine Larsen Today’s science fiction television audience comprehends the basic science behind time travel and parallel universes thanks to the popular writings (and television documentaries) of scientists such as Stephen Hawking, Brian Greene, and Michio Kaku. In response, the writers of such series as Doctor Who and Lost use this science in a fairly consistent way, keeping their time travel as “realistic” as possible while at the same time entertaining their loyal yet discriminating audiences. The two series certainly differ in what defines consistency in time travel, and what liberties may be taken with these rules within the canon of the series. However, each series has a human wildcard, a character who appears to bend or supersede the rules: Rose Tyler (companion to the Ninth and Tenth Doctors) and Desmond David Hume (named for the 18th century philosopher) respectively. While these variables are able to move between timelines and even parallel universes with an ease inaccessible to fellow characters, they must rely upon constants (in the form of other characters, items, and actions) in order to remain grounded within the dizzying world of time travel. This essay will explore the intersections between science and science fiction in the respective travels of Desmond, Rose, and their accompanying characters, focusing on the skillful navigation of the series writers and viewers through the various paradoxes scientists warn are inherent in any attempt to change the past within the confines of a single universe. The basis for our current scientific understanding of time travel is the work of Albert Einstein, whose 1915 General Theory of Relativity demonstrated that what we experience as the force of gravity is actually the warping of four-dimensional space-time by mass and energy.
