I like to think this is because we need new beginnings more than once every twelve months. As I write this, I am feeling that need for a new beginning. You’ll be reading this right around our secular New Year, January 1st, but I’m writing at the very end of October, just after the horrific synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh. It is a sad and disheartening time, and the only comfort is to be found in the solidarity of the Jewish community as we come together, and in the support that is being extended to us from our neighbours of different faiths – including our Syrian families, who were among the first to reach out with their condolences. In difficult times, it is easy to feel powerless. But I am inspired by everyone who continues to show up at Temple and at synagogues around the world for Shabbat, classes, and events; who will not be scared away from their synagogue homes. Because the fact is, synagogues wouldn’t exist without Jews and the people who love them. We wouldn’t be here if you didn’t show up, if you didn’t make this community your own. So we need you. But not just to show up. We need volunteers, people who can help spread the spirit of Temple that has kept us strong for 136 years. Whatever your interests or abilities may be, we have a place and a need for you. Maybe you’d like to bake for our celebrations after services. Maybe you want to visit sick people in hospital, or homebound seniors at home - especially in these long winter months. Maybe you want to lead (or learn how to lead) shiva minyans to comfort mourners, or help organize our spring Mitzvah Morning; to be an usher or greeter at services; or welcome people for classes and events, and sign them in with a smile. Maybe you want to call new members or invite a Jew-by-choice to sit with you at services, or eat at your Shabbat table. Maybe you love stories, and are willing to interview some of our “super seniors,” as we collect their oral histories. Maybe you want to be a docent at the museum or for the educational tour groups that come to Temple, or to volunteer at our gift shop. It’s even not too late to help with our Purim shpiel for those who are dramatically inclined, or our Purim carnival, for those who have always wanted to learn to operate a cotton- candy machine! There are countless ways you can make a real difference in the life of the synagogue, our members, and our community beyond the Temple’s walls. It would be an honour for me, Rabbi Greenspan, Sari Roston (our Director of Community Engagement), or any member of the Temple team to sit down with you for a conversation, and to help you find the right place to get involved. In this new year of 2019, it could be a whole new beginning. The synagogue which was attacked in Pittsburgh is called Tree of Life – etzchayim. The name comes from the line in our Torah service: “[Torah] is a tree of life to those who hold on to it.” As the days stay short and we feel the darkness, I encourage you to add life and light. B’shalom, Rabbi Lisa J. Grushcow. D. Phil [email protected] www.templemontreal.ca Dedicated. Dynamic. Diverse. 3 En provenance du bureau d’études du otre calendrier juif contient quatre différentes journées consacrées au Nouvel An : NrabbinRosh Hashanah est bien entendu celle à laquelle nous pensons d’abord, mais il y en a trois autres. Une dédiée aux bétails, une autre aux arbres et enfin une dernière aux impôts. J’aime à penser que c’est parce que nous avons besoin de renouveaux, et ce, plus d’une fois tous les douze mois. En écrivant ces lignes, je ressens le besoin d’un nouveau départ. Lorsque vous lirez ceci, ce sera autour du 1er janvier, le Nouvel An séculier. Or, je rédige ces lignes à la toute fin du mois d’octobre à la suite de la terrible fusillade qui a eu lieu dans une synagogue de Pittsburgh. L’époque dans laquelle nous vivons est triste et désolante, notre seul réconfort réside dans la création de liens de solidarité entre les différentes communautés juives ainsi qu’avec le soutien offert par nos voisins provenant de différentes croyances et appartenances. Parmi ceux-ci, je souligne que nos familles syriennes ont été parmi les premières à nous transmettre leurs condoléances. En période difficile, il nous arrive de nous sentir impuissants et dépassés. Mais les gens, qui continuent à venir célébrer Shabbat, à suivre des cours et à participer à différents événements que ce soit à notre Temple ou dans d’autres synagogues autour du monde, m’inspirent et me motivent, car la peur ne les empêche pas de fréquenter leurs synagogues. Car le fait est que sans la présence des Juifs et des gens qui les aiment, les synagogues n’existeraient tout simplement pas. Nous n’aurions pas de raison d’être sans votre présence et sans votre participation à la création de notre communauté. Alors, nous avons besoin de vous. Non seulement de votre présence, mais aussi, et sinon plus, de votre engagement. Nous avons besoin de bénévoles, de gens prêts à faire rayonner et à diffuser l’esprit qui nous renforce depuis les 137 années d’existence du Temple. Peu importe vos champs d’intérêts et vos habiletés, nous avons une place pour vous et nous avons besoin de vous. Peut-être avez-vous envie de préparer de petites douceurs qui agrémenteront nos célébrations se tenant après les services ? Peut-être que visiter des personnes malades et esseulées dans les hôpitaux ou dans les centres de soins de longue durée pour personnes âgées vous rejoint davantage, spécialement durant les longs mois d’hiver à venir ? Aimeriez-vous guider ou apprendre à guider un Shiva minyans afin de réconforter les personnes endeuillées ? Donner un coup de main à l’organisation et au bon fonctionnement de nos Mitzvah Matin au printemps ? Ou encore accueillir et placer dans les gens durant les services ? Accueillir les visiteurs participant à nos cours et à nos événements est une belle occasion d’ouvrir nos portes avec un large sourire. Et ce n’est pas tout ! Vous pouvez également demander à un nouveau membre ou à un nouveau Juif-par-choix de s’asseoir à vos côtés durant le service ou de manger à votre table de Shabbat.

    Yoni Rechter Teev Events Inc. 16501 Ventura Blvd, Encino, CA 91436 Tel (818) 483-8818, Fax (818) 482-2708 www.teev.com Biography Composer, pianist, singer and arranger, Yoni Rechter has made a major contribution to Israeli music in a career spanning more than 40 years, and is considered among Israel’s most important musicians. In the dozens of songs that Yoni composed, he created a wide variety of styles, incorporating numerous influences, from Sixties pop (mostly Beatles) to Jazz, Israeli to classical, east and west, into a fascinating personal statement. Rechter always composes with originality, great sensitivity to text, and for the best performers. He is considered the mark of quality and integrity in Israeli music. Yoni’s music is sophisticated and ever unexpected, constantly shifts tones and beats, and his classical piano training is evident. Many of his compositions have become staples of Israeli music, and one has on several occasions been voted the most popular Israeli song of all times. Yoni has worked closely with many of Israel’s top artists, including Arik Einstein, Gidi Gov, and Yehudit Ravitz. Perhaps his two most well-known collaborations are the legendary Kaveret group (a.k.a. Poogy), and Hakeves Ha-16 (The 16th Sheep), released in 1978 and still Israel’s most-popular album of children’s songs. A sought-after musical director, producer and arranger, Yoni has worked on numerous musicals, films, dance and albums. Rechter has also written classical music, and the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra performed a concert dedicated to his songs and compositions. Hebrew University, Honoris causa Born in Tel Aviv, Yoni started playing piano at the age of 7, and decided to be a musician at age 12 when he discovered the Beatles.

    Ex panding Our Dialogue Colleagues of Other Faiths “House of Israel” in Ghana Spiritual Searchers in Northern California Also: RRC Launches Mission, Vision, Values Statement 2008 Annual Report A Message From the President By Rabbi Dan Ehrenkrantz uring the time I served as the rabbi for Bnai Keshet in Montclair, NJ, a local Baptist church closed its doors. Our synagogue had just put up a new building, and the church decided to donate some of their cash assets to us. I remember thinking at the time how astounded my ancestors would have D been. I had grown up with family stories of pogroms, with Christian symbols used to incite violence. And now, not so many years later, my synagogue was receiving a large cash gift from, of all places, a church. Yet now, for Reconstructionist Jews, that turn of events may seem fairly natural. In the movement’s foundational years, Mordecai M. Kaplan shaped the ideological basis for a changed relationship with other peoples and other religions: Judaism is not God’s chosen religion, and Jews are not the chosen people. Because we don’t have a monopoly on truth, we should seek to learn from diverse religious traditions and communities. Our special obligations toward the Jewish community should inspire us to work for the betterment of others. And so we actively seek to bring our message—a message of religious tolerance combined with religious passion—to others. We seek to be emissaries for peaceful, creative and engaged coexistence among peoples and religions. And we seek to bring cultural change to the Jewish community by sharing our unique approach to Jewish life.
