RABBI'S MESSAGE

It is no secret that we are approaching the High Holiday season, which is referred to in Hebrew as Yamim Noraim, the days of amazement. These days, as with all the Jewish holidays, are best experienced if one first does preparation to be ready for the day. This preparation, of course, includes physical preparation. We prepare special foods like round challah and honey and apples. Many people break out their good dishes and special family recipes. Some may even buy new clothes for the occasion.

In addition to the physical preparations, there is spiritual and emotional preparation that helps one find more meaning in the days. To prepare for Rosh Hashanah we are expected to evaluate our behaviors from the past year and make amends to others whom we have harmed. This step is seen as integral to the process of change and needs to be carried out before we seek forgiveness from God.

Even though our services on the Yamim Noraim are longer than normal, the preparations can, and should, take more time than the rituals themselves. This is made clear with the ritual of Tashlich. I often compare Tashlich to an archer shooting a bow and arrow. She pulls back the bow, steadies her arm, takes aim and then, when she releases the bow, the arrow quickly, almost instantaneously, hits the target. Tashlich is like this as well. We spend a good amount of time thinking about what we want to “cast away” and then when we finally engage in the act, at the edge of the water, it is a quick second and done. That act, however, would not have the significance it carries without the initial preparation.

Tashlich, the symbolic casting away of our transgressions, misdeeds, and aspects of ourselves we wish to discard, has taken on various forms over the generations. Early on, there was a belief that the best way to win favor from evil spirits living in the water were to give them gifts. In the Babylonian tradition, people sent “sin‑filled” containers out into the water. Sometimes before Rosh Hashanah, people would grow beans or peas in a woven basket for each child in a family. Then, the basket, representing the child, was swung around the head seven times and flung into the water. Kurdistani Jews even threw themselves into the water and swam around to be cleansed of their transgressions. While some rabbinic opinions suggest not using bread, there is a prevalent custom to toss bread crumbs into a body of water to carry out this ritual. It is normally done on the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashanah but can be done any time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

This year, please join us at Siesta Key Beach on Sunday, October 6 at 6:00 pm for Tashlich. Bring a picnic dinner and some beach chairs (and of course some bread crumbs). We will do our preparations for the ritual and then head to the water’s edge to cast away our transgressions. We will also have the opportunity to enjoy the sunset and the Siesta Key Drum Circle. For our younger participants, this will coincide with a PJ Library event which will include crafts, some snacks, and PJ Library story time. We hope you and your families will join us.

As you all go through your preparations for the Yamim Noraim, my family and I wish you all a Shanah Tovah u’Metukah, a sweet and good New Year.

Shanah Tovah! Rabbi Michael Werbow

Page 7 LIFE & LEGACY SPOTLIGHT

Sandi Kligman After spending a couple of winters locally, and selling a business in New Jersey, Sandi Kligman and her late husband Mel moved to Sarasota full- time in 1990. They were attracted by the weather, cultural offerings, and growing Jewish community. By 1992, they joined Temple Beth Sholom. Although they were more traditional than religious, both had always belonged to “Conservadox” synagogues and were comfortable with the Hebrew prayer and services at TBS. Even though they did not attend weekly, they were both raised to feel a strong obligation to support a temple for those who do. Sandi grew up in the Weequahic section of Newark and then West Orange, New Jersey. Her four grandparents and Mel's parents all immigrated to the United States. Today, Sandi has family in Israel and England. As a lifelong Zionist, she’s been fortunate to make 34 extended visits to Israel over more than 50 years... She and Mel started dating on an Israel Bonds New Leadership Mission in 1980.

From youth group BBG Regional President at 16 to Vice-President of their congregation in New Jersey, Sandi held many leadership positions in Jewish organizations. When she moved to Sarasota, she promised to “stop raising her hand”. At the start of the Second Intifada, she was president of their Homeowner's Association and president of the Gulf Coast Women's Golf Association when she realized she needed to change gears. Having always been part of a Hadassah family, she joined the SaBra Chapter. She also served as Fundraising VP for the Florida Region and on the Development Council for Southeast Hadassah.

Sandi said, “I'm very proud of and grateful to all the TBS members who helped Hadassah in Sarasota literally raise millions for the Emergency Center and Davidson Tower at the Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem and whose names are engraved on the walls.”

More recently, Sandi served on the Boards of both Temple Beth Sholom and Sisterhood. She said she knows first-hand how fortunate we are to have so many members (and our amazing staff) put in enormous amounts of time and talent to make TBS the vibrant and welcoming home we all enjoy.

She further said that “simchas and holidays aside, I can't emphasize enough how important being part of the Temple Beth Sholom family is when you need their support and services. Certainly it was moving and comforting to me when Mel passed away suddenly and Rabbi Werbow reached out to me in Spain. Knowing that the TBS Cemetery is such a peaceful and lovingly maintained resting place also truly eased my heart. We often use the phrase ‘give until it hurts’ but my work with Hadassah taught me the joy of helping people find a way to fund a meaningful gift, one that is comfortably within their means and makes the donor happy!”

When asked why she is now a participant in the Life and Legacy Program, she said “the Life & Legacy Program is such a wonderful opportunity for every congregant to help insure the future and enhanced continuity of Temple Beth Sholom… Everyone's circumstances are different: outright gifts are easier for some and estate gifts better suited to others. There is great flexibility and different vehicles in the Life & Legacy program, and expert, individual advice available through the TBS Committee. I think there's a misconception that Life & Legacy is just for the wealthy: so if you've ever sat in synagogue, heard the program mentioned and thought I'd love to do something for TBS but this is beyond me, I encourage you to please seek out personalized, confidential details. It can feel good to give!”

JUDAICA SHOP

As I am writing this, we are just a few days from having completely removed all traces of the Judaica Shop, lights out, and keys turned over to Malcolm Schwartz as he takes on the assignment of Chairman of the Temple Judaica Museum.

This is not to say that all merchandise has been sold. We have in our Judaica Shop closet boxes of various items which you may see at the appropriate time as part of a pop-up shop. While we will not be ordering any new merchandise, if there is something you need, I may be able to arrange for you to purchase it from one of the other shops with whom I correspond or direct you to the proper website.

Again, thank you for supporting the shop in the past – your patronage provided over $100,000 to Sisterhood which used the funds for the benefit of Temple Beth Sholom. I cannot thank all the volunteers sufficiently for their dedication to this congregation. However, Shabbat candles and yahrzeit candles will continue to be available through the office. The cost of the Shabbat candles is $9 and the Yahrzeit candles are $.75 cents each. Thank you Nancy and Jaci for continuing this tradition.

L’Shana Tovah!

During the many years that my family and I lived in New York I always liked it when Rosh Hashanah came late in September. The weather usually became a little more fall-like and it also gave me the chance to settle my children into a new school year. Since I worked for many years as an Educational Director for a synagogue, this gave my staff the opportunity to teach the fall holidays. If Rosh Hashanah came early in the month, my teachers would bemoan the fact that they Sheryl Glickman barely had any time to teach the students about Rosh Hashanah, Yom Sisterhood President Kippur, and Sukkot.

This year Rosh Hashanah does come in late September. I doubt that the Sarasota weather will be any cooler. I don’t have to worry about settling my own children into a new school year and Religious School teachers will have ample time to give all the attention required to teaching all the history and traditions of the chaggim. It is also likely that my husband and I will be spending this Rosh Hashanah in Greensboro, North Carolina with our daughter, son-in-law, and three grandchildren, as we await the birth of grandchild number four.

To me, Rosh Hashanah is a time for new beginnings. We welcome a new year and have the opportunity to look back on the prior year. The word teshuvah means to turn and it is a central theme of the holiday. As we weigh our actions from the past year, we have the chance to correct and improve what we find lacking in our lives. This process begins on Rosh Hashanah and concludes on Yom Kippur.
