YOUNG OF HOLLYWOOD-FT. LAUDERDALE SEPTEMBER 2020 PAGE 3 WEINSTOCK’S MESSAGE “THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE” WHEN ROSH HASHANA FALLS ON SHABBAT

If all the are assembled on the Day of Judgement, and the Rosh Hashana), Rosh Hashana is called “Yom Teruah – a day of does not sound, is it really Rosh Hashana? The shofar’s shofar blowing.” However, in Parshat Emor the day is described blast is symbolic of so many things and seems integral to our as “Zichron Teruah,” which is understood as a time of Rosh Hashana experience. And yet this year, we will not sound remembering the shofar through the recitation of shofar-themed the shofar on Day One of Rosh Hashana. How do we understand prayers. The explains that Rosh Hashana is a “Zichron the absence of the shofar when Rosh Hashana falls on Shabbat? Teruah” when it falls on Shabbat. One could suggest that shofar is incompatible with Shabbat Zichron Teruah plays center stage. We identifiy Rosh on Halachik grounds. However, this is not the case. The Mishna Hashana as Zichron Teruah in the Kiddush we will recite on teaches that in the Beit Hamikdash, the shofar was indeed blown Shabbat Rosh Hashana. We call the holiday Zichron Teruah on Shabbat. Even after the destruction of the Temple, Rabbi during each of the four Shemoneh Esrei’s that we recite over Yochanan Ben Zakkai wanted to perpetuate this practice in Shabbat. The fact that Zichron Teruah is utilized so often as a commemoration of the Temple. There is a dispute as to its exact description for the holiday indicates that this title is more than parameters, but Rabbi Yochanan instituted that under certain just a reference to the absence of shofar. Rather Zichron Teruah conditions, the shofar should be sounded on Rosh Hashana that hints at a fundamental aspect of Rosh Hashana. occurred on Shabbat. The concept of Remembrance is one of the three themes In fact, in 1881 Rabbi Akiva Yosef Schlesinger convened a highlighted in the Rosh Hashana . The Talmud states: private in which they blew shofar on Shabbat in the Old “Hashem stated: ‘Recite before Me on Rosh Hashana verses of City of . Rabbi Schlesinger, a prominent Rabbi at the Kingship, Remembrance and Shofar. Kingship verses to declare time, has a detailed Halakhic analysis why blowing shofar on Me King over you. Remembrance verses- so that the Shabbat is permissible in Jerusalem. Most authorities, although remembrance of you will come before me for good.’ And agreeing to his logic, strongly disagreed with Rabbi through what? Through the shofar.” Schlesinger’s actions. Rabbi Shmuel Salant instructed his In Malchuyot we coronate God as King of the Universe. community not to blow shofar, but he also said not to hold it This is an idea oft-repeated in our prayers. The shofar is the against those who would follow Rabbi Schlesinger’s view. Rav instrument by which we remind ourselves of so many facets of Kook’s father-in-law, the Aderet, was quoted as saying that if he the holiday. But it is easy for Zichronot to get lost in the shuffle. had another chance, he would go and stand outside of the shul to Out of the three themes, Zichronot is the least defined and the hear the shofar on Shabbat. least spoken of. From the Mishna and these stories we see that shofar IS an On Shabbat we are challenged to use our minds and hear appropriate and powerful symbol even when Rosh Hashana the shofar without it being sounded. To understand what it is we occurs on Shabbat. If we are going to look to the shofar for are listening for, it behooves us to focus on Zichronot- the aspect meaning as we do every Rosh Hashana, then we must try to hear of Rosh Hashana that focuses on memory. the shofar’s sound of silence. Human memory is the least defined and understood of our Have you ever heard a song on the radio and realized later faculties. Our memories can play tricks on us.

One approach is that there were always different There are a myriad of explanations for the mitzvah of groups that blew according to their interpretation since these blowing shofar. Rav Saadia Gaon2 offered ten rationales for why doubts are based on how one interprets specific verses. Rosh6, we blow the shofar on Rosh Hashanah. He begins with the fact therefore, explains the requirement to hear the shofar according that Rosh Hashanah is the day of the Creation of the universe. to all the different interpretations as an attempt at unity amongst On this day, God declared kingship over all. The commencement all the Jewish people, as we perform a similar of a new reign of any king, especially in biblical and medieval mitzvah of shofar on Rosh Hashanah. times, would bring with it the blowing of trumpets. Therefore, While we will have to explain another time the reason for all we coronate God in the same manner. 100 shofar blasts, and how long this custom has existed, that is The shofar serves as our spiritual alarm clock, Rav Saadia current practice when in shul. There, the blasts are grouped into suggests. Rosh Hashanah begins the Aseret Yamai Teshuva, the two categories.

If so, why do we blow shofar before we can to ensure everyone in our community can and will have a begin the amidah?

For those of Finally, it is fascinating to note that while Rosh Hashanah is us coming to shul, despite the fact that the experience will be referred to as a "Day of Blowing", as we noted above, the radically different than in years past (socially distanced seating, actual mitzvah is to listen to the shofar sounds9.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS : HIGH HOLIDAYS DURING COVID

Q: Can I perform Hatarat Nedarim via zoom? A: Hatarat Nedarim (Annulment of Vows) must be done in front of three people who could serve as Halachic judges. Those three people need to be present together. This year these three judges will sit distanced from one another. While normally those who approach the judges to annul their vows stand in front of the judges, Rav Herschel Schachter has paskened that if the three judges are physically present together, then those seeking Hatarat Nedarim can make their declaration to the judges via zoom.

Similarly, at Kol Nidrei the Chazan is flanked by two men holding . Kol Nidrei is also a sort of Annulment of Vows, and therefore the custom is to have three people. Just like Hatarat Nedarim, one can participate in Kol Nidrei via zoom, so long as the Chazzan is reciting it in the presence of two other people. This year we will be offering a 6:00pm Kol Nidrei that people will be able to access via zoom.

Q: I do not plan on attending shul over the High Holidays. What should I say at home? A: When davening at home you should daven at the same time as they are davening in shul. In this way, an individual is able to connect his/her prayers to the congregation’s. At home, you omit those parts of davening that require a minyan, such as , Kedusha, the 13 Midot Harachamim and the blessings before and after the Haftorah. You do not say the Repetition of the Amidah, however you are able to say the piyutim (poems) that are part of Chazarat HaShatz. At shul this year we will be saying fewer piyutim than usual, due to the limitations imposed upon us due to Covid. A list of what we will be saying/ skipping in shul will be provided in advance of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. At home, you can either say what we will be saying in shul or say all of the piyutim as usual. We will arrange a system for people to pick up a machzor from shul if they do not have a machzor at home.

On the second day of Rosh Hashanah we will blow shofar. The obligation to hear shofar applies whether a person is in shul or not. Although technically women are exempt from this time-bound mitzvah, it is a long-standing tradition throughout most Jewish communities that women do their utmost to fulfill the mitzvah to hear shofar on Rosh Hashanah. One can blow shofar for him/herself. Whereas in shul we normally blow 100 blasts, the mitzvah is fulfilled by hearing 30 shofar blows. We plan to host a shofar blowing service outside at shul on Rosh Hashanah afternoon. We are also fortunate to have a cadre of volunteers willing to blow shofar on your block or outside your home.

Q: I noticed that in one of the High Holidays seating packages that the shul offered, I would daven Kol Nidrei before the fast begins and Neilah well before the fast ends. Is this allowed? A: Although we normally begin our Yom Kippur experience in shul with Kol Nidrei, the truth is that Kol Nidrei is a pre- Yom Kippur prayer. This year due to Covid limitations, one shift at shul will say Kol Nidrei at 6:00pm, an hour before the fast begins. Those who attend this Kol Nidrei will be able to drive to shul/ Club and drive back home after Kol Nidrei (they should declare that they are not accepting the fast until later- ie candle lighting). After the brief Kol Nidrei service (chazzan says that paragraph three times) this shift will go home. They can then finish eating/ drinking and preparing for the fast and then accept Yom Kippur by reciting the Shehechayanu blessing as part of candle lighting. Men should also recite Shehechayanu at this time. This shift will then daven Maariv at shul or Club (along with the familiar post Amidah piyutim) at 8:30pm.

Although we usually say Neilah right before the end of the fast, the truth is that Neilah is a unique 5th prayer service of Yom Kippur, whose proper place is between Mincha and Maariv. Though normally paired with Maariv, this year the first shift will pair Neilah with an early Mincha. After Neilah, the fast will not be over. Rather, those people will walk home and when the fast ends they can say “Baruch Hamavdil” and eat something. This shift will daven Maariv at shul/ Club at 8:30pm, at which point they can drive to shul since Yom Kippur is over.

The shofar that we normally hear at the end of Yom Kippur is a custom and not a requirement. However if one has a shofar at home, they can blow one Tekiah at the end of the fast in fulfillment of this minhag and then daven Maariv at 8:30pm back at shul.

Although these options are not what we normally offer, they are fully consistent with Halacha. We look forward to a time when social distancing does not require us to create multiple shifts for services, and we thank you for your understanding and partnership in making this year’s High Holidays services both safe and meaningful.

YOUNG ISRAEL OF HOLLYWOOD-FT. LAUDERDALE SEPTEMBER 2020 PAGE 14 HIGH HOLY DAY LAWS & CUSTOMS

EREV ROSH HASHANAH 1. We do not blow Shofar on Erev Rosh HaShanah, separating the optional Shofar blasts of the month of Elul from the Mitzvah (obligatory) Shofar blasts of Rosh HaShanah. 2. DUE TO COVID, OUR WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO MEN BEFORE ROSH HASHANAH OR YOM KIPPUR. 3. Men and women annul their vows - If the annulment is not performed it should be done as soon as possible even after Yom Kippur. The formula is found in many Siddurim (p. 762 in the ArtScroll .) We normally annul our vows immediately after davening on Erev Rosh HaShanah. 4. The (penitential prayers) of Erev Rosh HaShanah are lengthy. 5. The Shofar is not blown on the first day of Rosh HaShanah because it is Shabbat this year.

ROSH HASHANAH 1. It is customary to have round Challah on this holiday, and to dip the Challah in honey before eating. This is also done with the apple right after eating the Challah. One says the Hamotzi for the Challah. One must also say a Borei Pri Ha'etz on the apple. After eating the apple one says:

Yehi ratzon shetchadesh shanah tovah u'metukah--May it be His will that this year be good and sweet. 2. Some have additional customs of: a. eating only sweet things and abstaining from bitter foods like horseradish b. not eating nuts because of its numerical connection in Hebrew to the word sin ( and ) c. eating pomegranates (may Hashem multiply our Zchuyot (privileges) as He has multiplied the seeds of the pomegranate)

d. eating dates (saying: May it be Your will that our enemies shall be silenced)

e. eating squash (saying: May it be Your will that the evil decree shall be torn and our merits shall be read before You) , , f. eating carrots (tzimmis) or blackeyed peas (saying: May it be Your will that our merits be multiplied)

g. eating leeks (saying: May it be Your will that our enemies be restrained)

h. eating marigold, spinach, or beets (saying: May it be Your will that evil shall vanish)

i. eating fish (saying: May it be Your will that we should multiply and be plentiful as fish)

j. eating the head of a fish or (saying: May Klal Yisrael be at the head and not at the bottom (tail))

k. not to sleep during the day. The late Sephardi of Israel, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, noted that sitting around, doing nothing and wasting time on Rosh Hashanah is like sleeping (RYW: and talking Lashon Harah on Rosh Hashanah is worse than sleeping!) The idea behind this custom is that we should optimize every moment of Rosh HaShanah. Rav Yosef said that it is better to go to sleep than to spend Rosh HaShanah in these unproductive ways. 3. It is customary to recite Tashlich near a body of water on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. This year Tashlich is said on the second day because the first is Shabbat. If one is not able on the Yom Tov, one may recite Tashlich until Yom Kippur. Some say Tashlich can be recited until Hoshana Rabba. 4. We should end our services before midday on Rosh HaShanah since it is not a fast day. 5. On the first night we wish one another L'Shanah tovah teekatev v'taychatem--May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year. 6. On the second night, one should have a new fruit available in order to make a Shehechiyanu on it after Kiddush. If no new fruit or clothing is available, Shehechiyanu is still recited. 7. Instead of - in Shemoneh Esrei, we recite during the entire Days of Awe. If one errs, and does not correct himself before starting the next Brachah, one must start the Amidah again from the beginning.

YOUNG ISRAEL OF HOLLYWOOD-FT. LAUDERDALE SEPTEMBER 2020 PAGE 15

8. The other changes in davening the Amidah are: a. instead of

b. the inclusion of: ...... and .... in their designated places. If mistakes are made in a. or b., one need not repeat the Amidah. 9. The minimum number of Shofar blasts necessary to fulfill the Mitzvah is 30 (i.e. three times Tekiah Shvarim-Truah Tekiah, three times Tekiah Shvarim Tekiah, three times Tekiah Truah Tekiah.) 10. The day after Rosh HaShanah is Tzom Gedaliah, the fast of Gedaliah. Gedaliah, Governor of Judea, was assassinated, and with his death all hope of preserving national freedom faded. This occurred when the wicked King Nebuchadnezer had issued harsh decrees upon the Jews. He had destroyed the first Holy Temple in 586 B.C.E. and exiled the Jews to Babylonia for 70 years.

YOM KIPPUR 1. It is a Mitzvah to eat heartily on Erev Yom Kippur. 2. We daven Minchah prior to the final meal--Se'udah--and include Viduy-- of our sins--in Minchah. 3. Before lighting the candles, the women say the Brachah: -- Lehadlik ner shel Yom Hakipurim. The Shehechiyanu may be recited then also, but only if one is accepting Yom Tov at that time. If the woman plans to ride to shul for Kol Nidre, she should have in mind and say at candle lighting time that she is not accepting the Yom Tov then, and she should not recite the Shehechiyanu at candle lighting, but rather after Kol Nidre with the Chazzan. 4. Prohibited on Yom Kippur are: a. eating and drinking, b. washing, c. smearing ointment (e.g. hair tonic, deodorant, perfume), d. wearing leather shoes, e. marital relations, f. all the prohibitions of Shabbat. 5. For Havdallah after Yom Kippur, we say the Brachah over the wine, the candle (lit from a fire burning during Yom Kippur) and Hamavdil. Yitzchak, “that if we sin Hashem will get angry and punish us. RABBI WEINSTOCK’S I am a serious sinner, yet I am wealthy and happy!” Rav Levi Yitzchak lovingly replied, “My son, for you to know this, you MESSAGE Continued from page 3 must have read the Shema.

ON EREV YOM KIPPUR May it be the will of our Father who is in heaven to place His love and fear in your heart.

May He give you sons and daughters who are righteous and engage in the study of the Torah and in keeping the commandments all their days. May God allow you to find an honest livelihood, beneath His broad hand, and not through the gift of flesh and blood. May your livelihood be one which will set you free for the service of God: and may you be inscribed and sealed for a good life and a long life in the midst of all the righteous of Israel. Amen.”

LAWS OF BUILDING THE 1. A rectangular sukkah must have at least two complete walls and at least part of a third wall.

2. The walls must be strong enough to withstand a normal wind.

3. The walls may be a permanent structure.

4. The covering of the sukkah, the (s'chach), must be of vegetable origin and detached from the ground. Branches, pine, bamboo poles, or wooden slats are appropriate. If branches are used, one should use a type which will not dry out before Sukkot ends. If bamboo is used, make sure it is not split.

5. The (s'chach) cannot be stolen; consequently one must secure permission from the landowner before cutting.

6. The (s'chach) must shade the majority of the area of the sukkah. It should not be able to offer shelter from the rain.

7. The sukkah cannot be built under any projection (e.g. ledge, overhang or trees.)

8. The s'chach may not rest directly upon something which is susceptible to ritual impurity.

9. The sukkah should be decorated. The decorations are (muktzah) (not permitted to be touched on Shabbat and Yom Tov) and are prohibited for any use until after Simchat Torah.

10. For further elaboration, consult the Rabbis. They make “house” calls.

THE MITZVAH OF SUKKAH 1. The mitzvah of sukkah is to make it your residence (e.g. eating, sleeping, socializing.) If the weather causes discomfort, one is exempt from the mitzvah.

2. Ideally, all food should be consumed only in a sukkah. Before eating, one makes the (brachah) over the food and the brachah of (leishev ba-sukkah.) YOUNG ISRAEL OF HOLLYWOOD-FT. LAUDERDALE SEPTEMBER 2020 PAGE 17

3. One eats in the sukkah on Shemini Atzeret but without the brachah of (leishev ba-sukkah.)

4. On the first two nights, one must say Kiddush after nightfall and eat bread in the sukkah, even if it means waiting for rain to stop, until midnight.

5. In Kiddush on the first night, the Shehechiyanu is after the leishev ba-sukkah, for the Shehechiyanu applies to the mitzvah of sukkah and its construction. After the first night, the leishev ba-sukkah is after the Shehechiyanu because the Shehechiyanu applies only to the holiday and not the sukkah. (Some have the custom to keep the order of the blessings on the second night just like the first night.)

6. Women are exempt from eating in the sukkah, but fulfill the mitzvah by observing it and making a brachah.

THE 1. The mitzvah is that each man hold a (palm), (citron), 3 hadasim (myrtle branches) and 2 aravot (willow branches) together on Sukkot, during the daytime.

2. Although not obligated to perform the mitzvah, women fulfill the mitzvah and make the brachah.

3. One holds the lulav, with the spine facing him, the myrtle on the right, willow on the left, all with the right hand. Hold the etrog, upside down, in the left hand. Left-handed Ashkenazim hold the lulav in the left hand and the etrog in the right. Make the brachah (al netilat lulav) (on the first time, add Shehechiyanu.) Turn the etrog upright, hold all four species together and shake them 3 times in the following directions, in this order: east, south, west, north, up, and down (symbolic of Hashem's total dominion over the universe.)

4. One must own the 4 species legally for the performance of the mitzvah. If a friend does not own a set, give him yours for the mitzvah and then ask for it in return. A loan arrangement is not good enough.

5. If () are worn on Chol HaMoed, one should remove them before taking the lulav and etrog (i.e. before .)

6. The 4 species are not used on Shabbat Sukkot, and, except for the etrog, are muktzah (forbidden to be handled.)

ETROG 1. The etrog should not be dried up or punctured.

2. Its (pitum--a protuberance at the opposite end from the point of detachment from the tree) has to be attached. If the etrog never had a pitum, it is still kosher.

HADASIM 1. The myrtle must be 11 inches long. (3 )

2. For the majority of its length, the leaves must grow in clusters of 3 from the same point on the stem; and in its entirety, the leaves must cover the stem.

LULAV

1. It is not kosher if its tip is broken or its central spine is split the majority of its length.

2. The lulav must be at least 16 inches in length (4 )

ARAVOT

1. The willow must be of the species whose leaves turn red when mature.

2. The edges of the leaves must either be smooth or obtusely serrated, not actually serrated.

3. The minimum length of a willow branch is 11 inches. (3 )

4. If the leaves fall off at the touch of a fingernail, the aravot are not acceptable and must be replaced.

TREATMENT Wrap the lulav with myrtle and willow in a wet towel or in plastic which contains a wet sponge or wet cloth. After the holiday, the 4 species should not be thrown away. One may eat the etrog. The hadasim can be allowed to dry, and then may be crushed to be used as (spices) for havdallah. The willow and lulav should be burned with the chometz before Pesach.

PRAYERS

1. (Ya'aleh V'yavo) is added to Shmoneh Esreh and to grace after meals.

2. Hallel is recited and the 4 species are taken and pointed during the 4 lines of ' and the 2 lines of ' and 2 lines of ' at the end.

3. (Hoshanot) are added each day with a lengthy service of Hoshanot on (Hoshanah Rabbah.)

4. (Prayer for Rain) is added on (Shemini Atzeret) in Musaf and thereafter we begin saying 5. If one forgot he must repeat the tefillah from the beginning. If one is in doubt whether he said it, he must repeat the tefillah if it is within 30 days of Shemini Atzeret.

Hilary Rephun

I moved to the Grandview in February. I lived in Brooklyn for 31 years although I grew up on Miami Beach and attended the Hebrew Academy, University of Miami and Florida International University receiving my MBA. I am happy to be back in Florida as I enjoy swimming, bike riding and being outdoors although not when it’s 100 degrees. Then I like watching professional sports and movies. I have heard wonderful things about the Hollywood Community and I am looking forward to being an active member of the community.

Harry & Haviva Peters Haviva and Harry recently moved to their new home here in Hollywood (3951 N. 50th Avenue), from Hillcrest (Queens), NY. They have two sons who have blessed them with three grandchildren.

They are both retired. Haviva was the Head Librarian at the Ramaz Lower School located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and prior to that she was a Vice President at a bank involved in international finance. Harry was a Supervising Attorney for the New York City Police Department (NYPD) working out of Police Headquarters, and prior to that he was an Assistant District Attorney in the Queens County DA's Office involved in the prosecution of major offenses.

"We look forward to a time very soon, iy'H, where we can more fully integrate into our new community and establish new friendships, as well as to reconnect with old friends."

If you recently joined the shul and would like to be featured in next month's bulletin, please contact Elaine Braun at [email protected] Natalio and Monica Ghitelman We are both from Venezuela. We were married there and had our 3 children there as well. We came to the U.S. in 2003 after making the difficult decision to leave our country and more importantly our families, but we felt the future in Venezuela was very much in doubt and the rest, as they say, is history. As I wrote, we have 3 children, a boy and 2 girls. Jaime is 29 years old, a Structural Engineer, Alexandra is 26 years old, a Psychologist with a masters in Occupational Therapy and Aileen is 22 and pretty much trying to figure out her life. Alexandra is married to her wonderful husband Daniel Frieder and recently gave birth to our first grandchild, baby girl Emmy. I have a degree in Business and have been a business executive for the past 35 years in optical wholesale. Monica is a Speech Therapist but decided to become a full time mom early on. We've been married for 31 years. We most enjoy spending time with our families who for the most part have thankfully immigrated to the U.S. I've had 2 major events in my life recently, the birth of Emmy and unfortunately the passing of my father Moises Ghitelman Z'L, so I'm grateful that I'm able to say Kaddish for him. I also belong to Skylake Synagogue but it is currently closed due to the Covid-19 situation as a lot of Shuls are. We live in Hollywood Oaks.

Carey & Eve Franco We moved from Brooklyn, NY to the Grandview at Emerald Hills in December of 2019. We chose this area for a number of reasons including the warm, welcoming spiritual community, friends and family nearby and the close proximity to a number of Israeli folk dance sessions – a large part of our life and how we met!

We left 4 children (Carey’s son and daughter and Eve’s 2 daughters) and our 5 grandchildren – ages 10, 8, 7, 5 and 9 months in the Northeast including Brooklyn, Albany, NY and Brookline, MA

Our family is a Sephardic/Ashkenazi blend with Carey’s grandparents originating in Rhodes, Greece and in Turkey while Eve’s family roots are in /Russia.

Carey’s work life has revolved around food, especially cheese, for the last 44 years – what could be bad? He is a Senior Product Manager for a food importing company based in NJ with an office in Miami and is honored to be a member of the Guilde de Fromagere, awarded by The French Cheese Society.

Eve recently retired from The Yeshivah of Flatbush Elementary School in Brooklyn. Previously, she taught kindergarten and first grade at a small day school which is where she became hopelessly in love with teaching Israeli dance to children from pre-school through high school. This began over 25 years of teaching, performances, costumes and the joy of seeing her students connect to the land of Israel through dance and music. She directed the Israeli Dance Program in Albany, NY in- cluding an annual dance festival and added teaching adults as well.

We are happy to be here in Florida and glad to be a part of our new community! We especially look forward to meeting new friends and neighbors as soon as the current situation will allow.

BE A STAKEHOLDER AND NOT A CUSTOMER OF OUR SHULS AND YESHIVA DAY SCHOOLS some days of the week then I might as well save the money and send my child to public school.

While I understand that approach when it comes to supporting our shuls and schools, I think that it reflects a “customer” model which essentially asks what am I getting for my money from my shuls and schools and is what I am getting worth the money I’m paying. I don’t think that that is the ideal approach for shul members and yeshiva day school parents. I think that the ideal model is the stakeholder model. To my mind, shul members and yeshiva day school parents who adopt the stakeholder model ask at least two questions under these circumstances: (1) How can I best support my institution? (2) How can I best supplement my spiritual Rabbi Jonathan Muskat, growth which may have been curtailed due to lost synagogue or Yeshiva day school opportunities because Young Israel of Oceanside of COVID? What does this look like in practice? First, school and ur shul, like many other shuls, is currently trying to find shul communities should ensure that those who may have O lost income at this time can still afford to send their creative ways to accommodate as many people as children to schools and can still participate in all shul possible for the Yamim Noraim, for the High Holidays. Do activities. I was heartened after speaking to executive we have shortened minyanim in shul so that we can have directors from a few local Yeshiva day schools who are multiple minyanim in the same space on the same day? committed to continue educating children of parents who Do we have off-site minyanim? Do we have backyard may have lost jobs during this time. Those, however, who minyanim? I was speaking to a lay leader from another have not been adversely affected financially from this community who told me that she was concerned about not pandemic should not consider withholding their support being able to provide enough seats for her shul’s from the local Yeshiva day schools or shuls, even if at the membership which may result in many High Holiday end of the day they are receiving fewer services from backyard minyanim leading to a significant loss of income these institutions because we as a nation have thrived for the shul. over the years because of the strength of these communal I just read an article entitled, “Is COVID-19 the death of institutions. At the same time, we need to be creative and the synagogue?” which suggests that the synagogue discover new opportunities for these institutions to foster model will almost certainly collapse because many a sense of Jewish community and spiritual growth, even congregants are getting used to ad hoc prayer groups during this pandemic. unconnected to their to which they belong, COVID is only the death of synagogues and Yeshiva day especially because for many, attending a synagogue is schools, for that matter, if people view these institutions more about socializing than it is about prayer and if there as customers. But if these institutions can convey how is no kiddush and no socializing, then there is no reason shul and school communities have always been the to attend. The article states, “If synagogues hope to bedrock of Jewish life in all circumstances and how shul survive, they must answer three questions: Why should I members and Yeshiva day school parents are join? Why should I give you my hard-earned stakeholders, then it means that shuls and Yeshiva day money? What am I going to get in return?” schools are here to stay. We simply need to adapt and Similarly, some Yeshiva day schools may be facing work harder at this time within these institutions to similar questions. Even though teachers and Rabbis connect with God, our fellow Jews and ourselves. We’ve have been working just as hard if not harder zooming their done it for thousands of years, and we will do it now, as classes from home, the end result is that the teachers are well. less connected to the students and some parents may say that if my Yeshiva day school is not opening their classes (Reprinted from Rabbi Jonathan Muskat’s blog The next year and we will have to zoom classes at least for Times of Israel, August 7, 2020)
