As you may know, Kislev means support – for those who Thanksgiving this year. I call it “Thanks taking.” Let me explain. The have fallen, or are struggling, or just need a boost.

Many of you were skeptical at first to celebrate with The mitzvah of giving is possible only if there are those willing to only Rabbi Bergman and Hazzan Gross at Adat Shalom, but the clergy receive help. If you need help, you should think of yourself as helping had a plan - a plan that included many moving parts of participation: someone else do a mitzvah, which is in itself a mitzvah. There is you had an Aliyah, you read from the Torah; you blew the Shofar; you nothing to be embarrassed about. sang solos; and one of you even made an appeal to the congregation. Sometimes in our lives we are going to be the givers, and other times Continued on page 4 the takers. Life changes. What does not change is our commitment to each other, whatever our role is at the time. FROM HAZZAN DANIEL GROSS There are so many places in the Jewish world waiting to help. Let LIKE A ROCK them help, and when you are back on your feet, you will do the same To many of us, the three words, “Like a for others. Rock,” are synonymous with both Bob Seger and We all need each other. We are all responsible for each other.

We had so many parts which needed patience and and time put forth by many congregants, our clergy, and staff. We are perseverance to lay out in the correct manner, piece by piece, edge most appreciative of all those who helped to make this year’s High to edge and top to bottom. It was a work in progress from Rosh Holy Days both enriching and memorable. Hashanah to Yom Kippur, and it was improved by incorporating your suggestions, such as adding Michael Wolf reading aloud with the Special thanks to: congregation’s responses to the Rabbi’s prayers. This resulted in very Zoom co-host/ushers: Gary Graff and Alan Gallatin; Jay Levinson and special interactive and connected services. We couldn’t have done it Elliot Solomon for davening Birkhot HaShachar & P’sukei D’zimrah; without your help and input. Thank you.

Although we were not physically seated together in the Braun-Levine, Cantor Pamela Schiffer, Bobby Schostak and Zara sanctuary, we could hear Hazzan Gross’ magnificent voice and Teicher for blowing the Shofar; Coordinating Shofar Blowing at Home: familiar melodies fill our Adat Shalom sanctuary and our homes. We Alan Gallatin and Paul Magy could view in awe when the plaques were lit in memory of all those who once had been, and see the beauty of our loaned Sefer Torah. Elul morning shofar blowers: Grandchildren could ask questions without hearing “shhhh,” and we Dr. Leo Eisenberg, Alan Gallatin, Joe Salzman, Michael Wolf could all absorb the sermon in our own way.

Rabbi Bergman spoke with words of wisdom to which we could all High Holiday Torah readers: relate. His sermon on Yom Kippur spoke of the uniqueness of each Elyssa Biederman, Ethan Biederman, Erin Biederman, Rachel of us, bound together by one common thread – the Torah. He asked Freedland, Shayla Mostyn, Emma Salle, Eliana Reiter, Daniel each of us what letter from the Torah we would choose to be. Bradford, Josh Chynoweth, Rachel Chynoweth, Rebecca Chynoweth, Because my Hebrew name is Chana Malka, I chose the letter Mem, Rose Gallatin, Max Gross, Adam State, Talya Rotberg, Alli Feldman, which has many meanings, including “the flowing stream, the source Emily Feldman, Samatha Fleeter, Josh Pollak of wisdom.” Rabbi Bergman’s sermon provided me an opportunity to

connect to our Torah, admiring it’s wisdom and beauty. The Torah is High Holiday Ashrei readers: our unifying thread, and its wisdom is the water that nourishes us in Isabel Eisenscher, Jack Soble, Ariana Schwartz our daily life. Through his question, I learned so much. Please take

a few moments and decide which letter you would choose to be. I Soloists in the Musaf service: encourage you to connect to the Torah; to connect to Adat Shalom; Paul Chute, Alan Gallatin, Kochavah Latham, Jeffrey Maisels, Stuart to connect to each other; and more important, to connect to yourself.

7 Men’s Club

As we move from fall to winter, from Sukkot to Chanukah, the Men's Club is here to warm the colder months with meaningful opportunities for men to connect both socially and spiritually. At our recent Sukkot event, we helped Alan Gallatin perform the mitzvah of inviting us, virtually, into his Sukkah. He showed us decorations from years past and talked to us about what makes his Sukkah special to him. After sharing Sukkot prayers we welcomed Alan Yost who spoke to us about the monumental efforts the synagogue staff and clergy have made to keep us connected while remaining physically distant. A shout out to Alan and Alan for making this event a success and to Joey Lebovic for making our Zoom programming run smoothly. We restarted our Thoughtful Thursday program with Rabbi Bergman in October. Each time we meet we discuss engaging and thought provoking topics. At past sessions we've discussed the role of men in modern Judaism and why the conservative movement plays a pivotal role in the Jewish world. Please plan to join us for additional Thoughtful Thursday programs scheduled through December. On November 11, we offer an opportunity to schmooze with the Rabbi and Hazzan at our Chill'n with the Clergy social event. This year a new outdoor experience - a bonfire at Adat Shalom that will keep your outside warm, and with S'mores (and Schnapps) to keep your inside warm. Please see the flyers on the attached pages for more information and watch the website and mailings for more details. May the Chanukah candles bring light to you and yours during this joyous holiday season. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions, comments, or information.

Shalom,

Lon Zaback, President 248.794.0708 Social Action

SOCIAL ACTION IN ACTION HOPE HOSPITALITY AND WARNING CENTER In the past, we have always provided meals for the participants at the Hope Hospitality and Warming Center in Pontiac for four nights beginning on December 25. In the past, this was only an overnight place to stay. In an effort to keep everyone safe and well during this COVID-19 pandemic, the Center is currently a 24/7 program. Social distancing and an isolation shelter have helped to keep the shelter virus-free. However, volunteer groups are not coming in and making dinners and lunches. They hope to resume the normal rotation when it is safe. Of course, they continue to have significant needs to meet the needs of their clients. Their wish list includes bleach, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and Kleenex. Additional information and items needed are available on their website hopewarmingpontiac.org. If you would like to donate any items, I would be happy to pick them up from your home and deliver to Hope. Alternately, you could make a donation to the Maisel Housing the Homeless Fund at Adat Shalom. Designate that it is for Hope and I could arrange to purchase some of those items. When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people. ― Abraham Joshua Heschel Evva Hepner [email protected] | 248.798.7673

9 FROM SAMMI SHAPIRO Assistant Director of Education & Youth Engagement [email protected]

Chanukah is a time to think about rededication. This is the perfect time of year to think about what we have picked up and forgotten. Have you been learning a new skill but stopped practicing? Had you been studying daily but somehow fell out of the habit? Maybe you were in a great exercise routine but let a few days slide? Now is a great chance to pick it back up and rededicate yourself to this task. I always feel really good when I return to a hobby or habit that I once enjoyed. For me, that is playing my oboe. I started when I was in 5th grade and played through college. I still have my oboe, music stand, music, and reeds but I rarely play anymore. Now that I am exploring music with my child I wonder how he would enjoy hearing me play and maybe, eventually, pick up music as a skill or hobby. Here is an easy activity that you can do as a family or as individuals about rededicating ourselves to a hobby: Write a short book about this hobby. In this book write and draw about what responsibility is involved (do you need to practice, how much time do you need, etc), what do you need, how you feel when you stay committed/dedicated to a goal, what advice can you share with someone else, etc. Don’t forget-- all books have a dedication page. Dedicate this one to yourself for being strong and willing to pick up something that lay forgotten.

Chanukah Sameah!
