Time to Rejoice

by Rabbi Rick Schechter

We made it! The intense, introspective, and profound Days of Awe? our time of deep spiritual reflection and practice during Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur? has led us to a renewal of life and a rededication to meaningful ways of being. Judaism now asks us to immediately integrate the spiritual with the physical, bringing those High Holy Day lessons learned into our everyday lives.

So immediately after Yom Kippur, traditionally one rolls up the sleeve and gets to work making the spiritual lesson physical by hammering in the first nail of the sukkah. We don?t waste any time. A mere four nights later it?s time to celebrate Sukkot? full moon of Tishrei and fullness of our joy. Sukkot is called Z?man Simchateinu, Season of our Joy. We are joyful for another year of life, joyful for the abundant blessings in our lives, and joyful for the bounty of nature (particularly nature?s fall harvest).

Thirteen years ago, my Sukkot celebration was especially blessed, joyful, and filled with gratitude. How do I remember this particular Sukkot? Easily: my son, Evan, was born during the festival that year. In fact, a sukkah stood beneath April?s hospital room in the courtyard of Cedars-Sinai hospital where Evan was born. I vividly recall spending time in that hospital sukkah? saying a blessing, so deeply grateful for Evan?s entrance into the world. And to think: this month, Evan becomes a bar mitzvah.

Our family is so delighted to share this joyous occasion with our beloved temple community, just a few weeks after Sukkot.

Several years ago, April and I wrote a poem for Sukkot:

Its ceiling open to the eyes of God, A temporary structure in which all rejoice, Decorated with the foods of the bountiful harvest, Surrounded by the smells of the four species. A sukkah, a home for our thanksgiving.

We are thankful for the joyous home of family and the joyous home of Temple Sinai.

Chag sameach,

Sisterhood Matters by Ruth Lambert

Shalom! And now it?s October!! I hope that everyone had a joyous Rosh HaShanah and soulful Yom Kippur. I hope that many of you were able to attend our annual Sisterhood Membership brunch. Shelly Freedenthal had so much great information, didn?t she?

So? let?s talk (again) about what Sisterhood does for you. Sisterhood has its little fingers in everything around Temple Sinai.

We are in charge of the kitchen (thank you Elinor Peters), we run the Onegs every Friday night (thank you Flo Cohen).

Sisterhood feeds everyone at the Family Night Shabbat dinners (thank you Lorna Simon).

We help with b?nai mitzvah (thank you Susie Ribnik) and we sell you Hanukkah candles, tallitot and other Jewish related items (thank you Suzy Lenkowsky). We are also in charge of the b?nai mitzvah menorahs (thank you Jessica Bodaken).

Sisterhood manages Campership (thank you Marc Goldstein and Valerie Kameya and all of the Campership families), we organize and run the Rosh HaShanah lunch, the Hanukkah party, the Purim carnival, and the Passover seder (thank you to whoever decides to take any of those things on!).

We handle the bimah Sisterhood representatives and bimah flowers (thank you Deb Johnson and Elaine Edelman).

We assist the Caring Committee when there is a death or emergency in our temple community.

We present gifts to the confirmation kids and graduating seniors.

In other words, we are here for you, our temple community. But we need your help. We need members so please, please join Sisterhood. We?ll still do all of the things that I?ve listed whether you join or not but still, the more the merrier, right? Please go online today and join the Temple Sinai Sisterhood ? you?ll be glad that you did. Happy October to you all.

Ruth Bar Mitzvah Profile Evan Schechter

The first bar mitzvah celebration of the Jewish year 5778 will be that of Evan Schechter, a 7th grade student at Luther Burbank Middle School, who will be called to the Torah on Friday night, October 27th. And that?s not the only ?first? for Evan and his family, since his bar mitzvah will mark the first time in modern Temple Sinai history that our sitting Rabbi gets to officiate at his own child?s coming-of-age ceremony! Yes, Evan is Bar Mitzvah Date ?that? Schechter?the son of Rabbi Rick and April and big brother to Nina. October 27

Evan is a kind, responsible, and loving young man who has a mega-kilowatt smile. His passion is Legos, and he would love to be a Lego Torah Portion designer when he grows up. ?I?ve been building since I was five,? said Lech L'cha Evan. ?I?ve put a lot of time and effort into it, and I?ve built over 400 Genesis 12:1-17:27 different sets.? After Legos, he loves soccer and running track most of all. ?What I enjoy most about soccer is the style and strategy of the game. I also like being part of a team,? he remarked. When asked who he would School love to attend his bar mitzvah if he could choose anyone, living or dead, Luther Burbank his response was Lionel Messi. ?He?s a phenomenal soccer player, an Middle School athlete and a real inspiration to me!? Evan explained. Running is an important part of Evan?s life. He said that he loves ?the feeling of going fast and jogging for long distances.? His ability to run ? or perhaps even walk ? was threatened a few years ago when Evan was struck by a car while riding his bike. It was a very scary time for the whole family, but with terrific doctors, time, effort, and God?s grace, Evan has made a remarkable recovery. No wonder his parents describe him as brave.

Evan?s Torah portion is Lech L?cha, Genesis 12:1-9. In it, God asks Abraham and Sarah, the first two Jewish people, to leave their native country and go to a land that God will show them, and to be a blessing to the world. Evan thinks this parashah still has meaning for us today. ?I think God wants each of us to be a blessing to the world, too,? he said. ?There are so many things every person can do to make the world a good and better place.? With that in mind, for his Mitzvah project, Evan collected food, drinks, and other items for people who are poor and homeless. He organized those items into ?Care? packages and distributed them to needy people he saw in parks and in front of stores in his neighborhood.

It will probably come as no surprise that Evan is very family oriented. His favorite Jewish holiday is Passover because he ?loves being with [his] family and everyone at the temple for seders,? and one of his favorite parts of the seder is searching for the afikoman! When asked to name his personal hero, he said that his parents were his heroes ?because they take such good care of me and my sister, Nina.? We at Temple Sinai want to wish Evan and his entire family a hearty Mazel Tov! on his bar mitzvah. We are so blessed to have such a remarkable young man as part of our temple family, and we are overjoyed to be sharing this special simchah with our Rabbi.

Ascencia Thanks

Here's Deb Johnson's report on their experience at Ascencia, the Glendale homeless shelter, in September:

We had a great group doing the cooking and serving, including the Johnsons (Deb, Doug, Julia, Nathan), the Coopers (Ken, Sarah, Noah, Sam), Karen & Lily Marx, and Cindy Cordes & Harry Ross. We made spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread, green salad, and then cookies & brownies for dessert. The kids especially enjoyed the serving, which they took very seriously and worked earnestly. It ended up being a smaller group of residents than anticipated (apparently some of them had gotten 'weekend passes' and had headed to the beach to escape the heat), but those who were there seemed to enjoy the meal and were very appreciative.

To participate in this wonderful mitzvah, contact Jan Freed [email protected] and get more information or sign up.

Yom Kippur SOVA drive We'll have a full report on the results of our SOVA drive in the next issue of The Scribe.

Thanks in advance for all those who participated by providing food and other items for the hundreds of people being served by SOVA, a project of Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles. The word means "eat and be satisfied," and they provide individuals and families not only with food, but also with the resources they need to regain self-sufficiency and independence, including free groceries, case management, counseling, and other supportive services, such as legal counseling and job search assistance.

Thanks to all who have already made donations to our two wonderful organizations, both of which work with refugees.

They are still doing that important work, but now with a wide range of beneficiaries! They are the only Jewish group that is certified by the federal government as a resettlement organization. See their website at hias.org for details about their work.

The San Fernando Valley Refugee Children Cent er reaches out to children fleeing violence and danger, primarily from Central America. This local organization provides these children with needed support:

Legal assistance (to help them with their applications for asylum) Fun gatherings, field trips, potlucks, etc. Clothes, blankets Personal hygiene items School supplies Toys Emotional and spiritual support Financial assistance for basic care and/ or referrals for medical, dental, vision needs.

More information is available on their website at: http://sfvrefugeechildrencenter.org/

It is not too late to send in your donation to the temple office, with check(s) made out to the organization(s). Donations of ANY AMOUNT are welcome, and needed. THANK YOU!

Maggie Freed [email protected] 323.527.7989 ?You chose us, with love??

More than any event since the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, the Holocaust put the notion of chosenness to the test. If the Jews are God?s chosen people, why have we repeatedly been the target of the worst excesses of human depravity?...

Some Jews, both religious and secular, have tried to make the point that the continuing survival of the Jewish people, even after the Holocaust, is proof of Jewish chosenness. For the Zionists, the miracle is the rebirth of the Jewish state after almost two thousand years of exile; for the Ultra-Orthodox, it is the recreation of the Shtetl way of life in various places in the new world; and for the semi-assimilated, it is the continuing importance of the Jew in Western culture. I dissent from all these ?explanations.? The chosenness of the Jews is a mystery. Only God knows the purpose of setting apart an obscure tribe to suffer and to achieve more than could be expected from so small a band on so stormy a journey. All that we Jews can know about ourselves is that after every tragedy we have always made new beginnings?

There is no quiet life for Jews anywhere, at least not for long. The only question is whether one lives among the tempests with purpose and dignity. We Jews know why we suffer. Society resents anyone who challenges its fundamental beliefs, behaviour and prejudices. The ruling class does not like to be told that morality overrules power. The claim to chosenness guarantees that Jews will live unquiet lives. I say it is far better to be the chosen people, the goad and irritant to much of humanity, than to live timidly and fearfully. Jews exist to be bold. We cannot hide from the task of making the world more just and decent. In a society without law, where brute power prevails, no one is safe, and most often the Jew is the least safe of all. Jews, therefore, must stand up for a society that is bound by human morality - and speak truth to power.

Inspired by Rabbi Schechter?s excellent sermon on Yom Kippur morning, I read this in the Machzor for the Days of Awe and decided that it may be timely to share it. It was written by Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg who lived from 1921 to 2006. Heather Ross. Scribe Editor OCTOBER BIRTHDAYS
