Karen Brean, President [email protected] ∧ (412) 621–6566 n the days leading up to the Rodef Shalom Annual Meeting and my installation as President of the Board, I found myself wondering, “How did I get here?” I think the route to leadership for me started almost 20 years Iago, when our daughter, Molly, started religious school. Up until that time, my husband, Rich, and I had nomination to become a board member. I felt that it been members but not extremely engaged. As Molly was time to step up and help, so I agreed. was preparing to attend Religious School, she was hesitant. I happened to read in the bulletin that When I walked into that first meeting, I knew very few the Religious School needed substitute teachers. I of the women around the table. Within a few short suggested going on Sunday mornings with Molly and, months, I was taken under their wing. I found them while she went to her class, I’d go to whatever class smart, involved, accomplished, and warmer and more needed a substitute. I was curious about what the welcoming than I ever expected. Again, my circle got students were learning on Sundays and how they were bigger and the connections grew deeper. progressing with Hebrew studies during the week. Finally, a few years ago, I was approached by the One of the themes that emerged was that, in many Temple Board’s Nominating Committee to consider cases, their parents had never learned Hebrew and being nominated for the position of Executive Vice were eager to learn as well. I proposed a pilot program President. Again, I thought, “Time to step up.” But I to the Religious School Director—to try teaching also thought, “Wait a minute; I’m not a leader!” And parents and children together. then I started hearing from the Temple community —board members, our rabbis, congregants, staff Each year, as the families coalesced, I found myself members—who had become part of my growing circle becoming part of that extended family.

Henry [email protected] ∧ (412) 621–6566 x126 or many of us, the purpose of the High Holy Days is to examine the ways in which we are living our lives. That we pray for another year requires, I would suggest, a notion of how we will spend the year. We remind Fourselves that teshuvah (repentance), tefillah (prayer), and tzedakah (giving) are at the heart of our Jewish practice because each of these components can help us live with more purpose, more intention, more gratitude, and ultimately…more joy. In the spirit of “taking one step” toward incorporating these three practices into our daily lives, I offer these thoughts: Teshuvah can be understood as an essential Tefillahis about our relationship with God. It is element in our relationships with ourselves. Teshuvah easy to understand that we “talk” to God during prayer, means not only “repentance” but also “returning.” For but it is just as important to consider that listening some, this means a return to our Jewish roots—our can also be prayer. When we are quiet we just might faith, history, traditions, and values—establishing hear what’s in our hearts—what do we really want to a closer link to those who stood at Sinai so many do and be? Who needs to be forgiven? Where would generations ago. Teshuvah asks us: did we grow in the more compassion be most helpful? past year or did we stand still? Take one step: Make a list of ways to connect Take one step: Set aside 5 minutes a day for “prayer,” more deeply with Judaism and then choose ONE to with or without a prayer book.

Throughout the year we will be looking for ways to share our steps with one another. It’s exciting to imagine just how much we can learn, just how much we can grow, and just how much we can explore—one step at a time. 4 rodefshalom.org A Look at Liturgy: Avinu Malkeinu Molly May Cantorial Soloist [email protected] (412) 621–6566 This petition prayer’s origin story is that Rabbi Eliezer, known for his party tricks such as moving a planted carob tree yards away, or making a river flow upstream, was praying for rain during a drought. He was unsuccessful. Suddenly Rabbi Akiva jumped up and started to pray: “Avinu Malkeinu, there is no other sovereign but you; Avinu Malkeinu, do with us for your name’s sake,” and the rain fell. The last line of the prayer, which we sing in lovely unison each year on the High Holy Days, states: “Our Father, Our King—pardon us, answer us, though we have no worthy deeds within us. Grant us justice and kindness, Tzedakah is about our relationship with and save us.” Are we saying that nothing is other people, the good we do for others. Rabbi Lord ever good enough, so we should wallow in Jonathan Sacks teaches a lesson about tzedakah imperfection? Or are we saying, we may be from the life of Sir Moses Montefiore, one of the great imperfect, but God is perfect, so God will be figures of Victorian Jewry.

  • A Biographical Sketch POPULAR Imagination Often Creates Legends
    CYRUS ADLER A Biographical Sketch By ABRAHAM A. NEUMAN I POPULAR imagination often creates legends about the lives of great personalities. These legends are not whimsical fancies. They are the language of folk psychology. They reveal the traits of character in the heroes which fascinated the popular mind. In Jewish literature the legends usually cluster around the birth of its great characters. Strange omens or miracles are associated with the time or place of the hero's birth that seem to forecast the destiny of the life that follows. At times, Fate anticipates legend. It operates with true facts to produce the effect of legendary symbolism. Such is the impression created by the simple record that Cyrus Adler was born in Van Buren, Arkansas, on September 13, 1863. A small town in a border-line state between the North and the South, Van Buren, Adler's birthplace, may be said to have typified a normal American community. During the Civil War, it formed a battleground for the opposing armies. It experienced in full measure the tragic sacrifices of the struggle which was destined to end in a new cove- nant of union and freedom in America. The time and place were ideally propitious for the rise of a character to whom patriotism and freedom were the essence of religion, to whom the ideal of union had a profoundly mystic appeal, whether it was political union to preserve the republic or religious unity to preserve the faith into which he was born. A restless spirit and a mood of adventure impelled Samuel Adler, the father of Cyrus, as a young immigrant lad from Mannheim, Germany, to strike out for far-off Van Buren in Arkansas.

  • The New Reform Temple of Berlin: Christian Music and Jewish Identity During the Haskalah
    THE NEW REFORM TEMPLE OF BERLIN: CHRISTIAN MUSIC AND JEWISH IDENTITY DURING THE HASKALAH Samuel Teeple A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2018 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2018 Samuel Teeple All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor During the first decades of the nineteenth century, Israel Jacobson (1768-1828) created a radically new service that drew upon forms of worship most commonly associated with the Protestant faith. After finding inspiration as a student in the ideas of the Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment, Jacobson became committed to revitalizing and modernizing Judaism. Musically, Jacobson’s service was characterized by its use of songs modeled after Lutheran chorales that were sung by the congregation, organ accompaniment, choral singing, and the elimination of the traditional music of the synagogue, a custom that had developed over more than a millennium. The music of the service worked in conjunction with Protestant-style sermons, the use of both German and Hebrew, and the church- and salon-like environments in which Jacobson’s services were held. The music, liturgy, and ceremonial of this new mode of worship demonstrated an affinity with German Protestantism and bourgeois cultural values while also maintaining Judaism’s core beliefs and morals. In this thesis, I argue that Jacobson’s musical agenda enabled a new realization of German-Jewish identity among wealthy, acculturated Jews. Drawing upon contemporary reports, letters, musical collections, and similar sources, I place the music of Reform within its wider historical, political, and social context within the well-documented services at the Jacobstempel in Seesen and the New Reform Temple in Berlin.
