From Rabbi Amv Schwartzman A congregation for all people ... all of the time!!! . We all know the phrase You cant be everything to everyone all of the time. I know there is a great deal of truth to this adage but we, here on the temple staff, are trying more and more to prove this saying false. We are trying to make Rodef Shalom a place for all people as much of the time as possible. This month, as you look through this bulletin, I ask you to keep our efforts to meet the needs of the many in mind. Further, I invite you to find the place where you can envision yourself - where your needs, hopes and desires will be met through our programs. Consider this: we used to have two types of worship services available to the membership, family services and regular adult services. Now we have five: family, regular adult, tot, Junior Congregation and the Shabbat morning minyan. Three different youth services are taking place as well as two very distinct adult opportunities. We hope every temple member can feel at home in at least one of these services. Further, in our efforts to strengthen our sacred community, we are striving to be more supportive of those in need. We now reach out through support groups and special programs to intermarried couples, widows and widowers, adult care givers, and our newest group, JACS (Jewish Alcoholics and Chemical dependents and Significant others). Certainly, there are many needs among our membership and we hope to continue to reach out and offer support to as many groups as possible. Another example of our ever-expanding program is the many levels of adult education that we are now offering. Once we only had one level of Hebrew literacy available; now we have three adult Hebrew reading classes and one conversational Hebrew class. Finally, all skill levels are being met. As we strive to do more to meet the needs of our membership, to be more "user friendly," please feel free to contact us about an idea or need or dream you might have about what you have always wanted your temple to be for you. Please help us to be no less than many things to most people much of the time. Community Thanksgiving College Shabbat Service Friday, November 26 at 8:15 pm Sunday, November 21 at 7:30 pm College students home for the holiday Chesterbrook Presbyterian Church are invited to attend and participate in (our neighbors on Westmoreland Street) our annual College Shabbat service.

WHAT creative, exciting new program and worship developments can we look forward to as we proceed through this year????? WHEN will we begin to see the shape of our beautiful new building emerge from the bulldozed rubble that ate the back of our social hall????? WHERE is the hamentaschen? (Whoops! Its too early for the Purim Carnival ... just a test to see if you are still reading.) HOW do we best utilize our resources - including YOU, our congregational family - to build and transmit to future generations the "sacred community" that is Temple Rodef Shalom? The answers to these questions - and many more - will be found at the fall congregational meeting. Please attend!!! The highlight of the morning will be a congregational dialog facilitated by Rabbi Schwartzman on the Central Conference of American Rabbis recently endorsed "Statement of Principles for Reform Judaism" - the much-discussed "Pittsburgh Platform" that you may have heard about. Together, we will discuss the potential impact of these principles on ritual practices in our temple, and how our own individual interpretations of these principles might guide our personal spiritual development. In other discussions, you will have the chance to add your voice to those of your TRS friends and family who are helping to guide decision making important to the temples future. Learn how you can participate in our activities and receive our heartfelt thanks for the key role that YOU play in our success. Get updated on TRS news, events and activities ... and meet and greet new and continuing friends who share temple life with you. We look forward to welcoming you, and to hearing YOUR thoughts and ideas on a range of issues of current and future interest to all members of the TRS community.

Tzadik is also the root of the word tzedakah ('charity', literally 'righteousness'). The term tzadik "righteous", and its associated meanings, developed in Rabbinic thought from its Talmudic contrast with hasid ("pious" honorific), to its exploration in Ethical literature, and its esoteric spiritualisation in Kabbalah. Since the late 17th century, in Hasidic Judaism, the institution of the mystical tzadik as a divine channel assumed central importance, combining popularization of (hands- on) Jewish mysticism with social movement for the first time.[1] Adapting former Kabbalistic theosophical terminology, Hasidic thought internalised mystical Joseph interprets Pharaoh's Dream experience, emphasising deveikut attachment to its Rebbe leadership, who embody (Genesis 41:15–41).

Confronting allosemitism in Europe : the case of Belgian Jews / by Eliezer Ben-Rafael. pages cm. — (Jewish identities in a changing world, ISSN 1570-7997 ; volume 21) Includes bibliographical references. Summary: “Only a few decades after the Holocaust, Belgian Jews, like most European Jewries, are under the attack of forces stemming from a variety of sources. How do they confront and stand these new hardships? Research done all over Europe from 2012 through 2013 tried to answer this question. Among the cases investigated, the Belgian Jewry is one of the most interesting. It is both versatile and representative, revealing essential components of the general experience of European Jews today. Conceptual considerations pave the way to the study of their plight that has been, by any criterion, anything but “usual”. Belgian Jews, it appears, are “like” many other Jewries in Europe but “a little more”. They highlight the question: is allosemitism at all surmountable?”—Provided by publisher.
