During the period of the High Holy Days we perform “teshuva,”

repentance, (Hebrew: which literally means "return"), a way of

atoning for sin. Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) is the day of

fasting during which judgment for the year is sealed. Therefore, we

try our hardest to make certain that we have performed teshuva before the end of the

day on Yom Kippur.

As a small boy I attended services at Congregation Sons of Israel in Lakewood,

New Jersey. The original Orthodox synagogue, located at 4th and Park Avenue, is still

standing and active, although a newer building was constructed many, many years

ago. As is the Orthodox tradition, the men sat downstairs in the sanctuary and the

women sat in the upper balcony, overlooking the sanctuary. Sitting on the long,

hard, wooden benches with no cushions caused many to become restless. During the

long service it would not be unusual for ‘kibbitzing’ to break out. When it got out of

hand the Rabbi would shoot a scowling look around the sanctuary. If need be, he

would clap his hand on his well-used siddur to quiet the congregation. There was no

air conditioning; not even a fan to move the heavy air around the sanctuary. I recall

a man who carried a bottle of smelling salts. If someone had the audacity to drift off,

as often happened during the service, they were rudely awakened by their first sniff of

the pungent odor.

I remember my uncles donning their robes and ascended the bimah where they

joined the other members of the all-male synagogue choir. Their chanting of the

Jewish liturgy for the High Holy Days, I admitted years later, was moving and

inspirational, not to mention very good. There was only one shofar blower, but the

sound of the shofar’s notes reverberated throughout the old building. It was an awe-

inspiring moment for everyone in attendance. I was always impatient for services to

end because I knew there was a slice of homemade honey cake, challah with raisins,

and teiglach (Yiddish: a traditional Lithuanian sweet) waiting to be enjoyed. I

recall that during the services there was one constant refrain, teshuva. This

recollection of celebrating holidays with my extended family, the special holiday

foods, which always seemed to taste, well, better during the holidays, are cherished

memories.

Time does not stand still, however, and there are new memories to be made. So,

I invite you to join me and your fellow congregants at B’nai Zion where you, too, can

create memories, reflect on the past year, and perform your own rite of Teshuva.

And, not to worry, you will not be rudely awakened by someone with a bottle of

smelling salts. Rabbi Tendler and Cantor Buhr are preparing an inspirational and

spiritually rewarding service that will keep everyone fully engaged, and Jason Cathcart

has a well-trained cadre of shofar blowers.

On behalf of B’nai Zion’s Board of Trustees, I wish you a Chag Sameach (Happy

Holiday). L'Shanah Tovah Tikatevu: May you be inscribed (in the Book of Life) for a

good year. �

Sukkot is the festival in which we celebrate our joy! As funny as that sounds, it is true—we are obligated

to be happy during this weeklong festival of Thanksgiving. On Passover it is our liberation and freedom,

on Shavuot we celebrate the giving of the Torah and on Sukkot—joy! During temple times an elaborate

water drawing rite occurred each day of Sukkot known as Simchat Beit Hashoavah in the priests went to

the pool of Siloah near Jerusalem to fill a golden flask. Based on Isaiah's promise "With joy shall you

draw water out of the wells of salvation" (12:3), Shofar blasts and merriment greeted their arrival at the

Temple's Water Gate. They then ascended and poured the water so that it flowed over the altar

simultaneously with wine from another bowl.

The Talmud recorded that "one who had never witnessed the Rejoicing at the Place of the Water

Drawing had never seen true joy in his life.” In fact the mention of the mechitza—the “traditional”

separation between men and women comes from this discussion. It seems that the days were so exciting

perhaps like Mardi Gras or Carnival in which things might have often gotten out of hand you might say,

and so the Talmud says the separate section was created to retain some amount of decorum—it just is not

clear if this was only for the Festival of Sukkot due to the heightened frolicking or for all times.

This month I was struck as I learned that Whiskey comes from the Gaelic word “Uisge Beatha,” which

means “water of life.” That phonetically became “usky,” and eventually was pronounced as “whiskey.”

Combining all of these waters of life (after all we have mayiim chayim (living waters necessary to fill the

mikvah, the ritual bath for transitions), Simchat Beit Hashoavah, the festive ceremony of water, and water of

life!

I was taken by the idea of celebrating the festival in which we rejoice at the Torah (responsibly) with water of life.

Join me on Thursday, October 17th in the Sukkah, 5-6pm, for a l’chayim, rejoicing together as we say “L’Chayim! To life with

the waters of life!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. Approximately

200,000 women each year in the United States alone are diagnosed with breast cancer, and 1 in 9 American women will develop

breast cancer in her lifetime. In 1994, the first gene associated with breast cancer — BRCA1 (for BReast CAncer1) was identified on

chromosome 17. A year later, a second gene associated with breast cancer — BRCA2 — was discovered on chromosome 13. Children

of parents with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation have a 50 percent chance of inheriting the gene mutation. In 1995 and 1996, studies

of DNA samples revealed that Ashkenazi Jews are 10 times more likely to have mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA 2 genes than the

general population in other words About 1 in 40 people of Ashkenazi Jewish decent have a

BRCA mutation.

My dear friend Carin Simon (shown here with her father Eric), whose mother Joan is a breast

cancer survivor. In 2003 Carin tested positive for the BRCA1 genetic mutation running

through her father’s side. She wrote, “My decision to test for the gene came after my paternal

aunt, a breast cancer survivor, previously diagnosed at age 43, told my father about the newly

discovered BRCA genetic mutation. Their mother (my grandmother) had tragically lost her

battle to breast cancer at age 49 after fighting the disease for 4 years. My dad was 14 years old

at the time.

I remember sitting in the office of the genetics counselor with my husband Mike by my side.

The counselor explained what it means to have the BRCA genetic mutation. Most important to know is that those with the BRCA1

genetic mutation have an 85% - 90% chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer and 50% chance of getting ovarian cancer in

their lifetime.” Men with these mutations also have a greater risk of developing breast, prostate, and other cancers.

Please consider getting screened for this gene. There are resources within the Jewish community that can help!

Also, I know it is Fall Break for many, but please consider joining me and my family in

the Making Strides walk in Coolidge Park on Sunday, October 5th at 2 pm, as we pray with

our feet (in the words of Abraham Joshua Heschel) that each step brings us closer to a

cancer free world!

Message from Our Director of Congregational Learning by Jason Cathcart

Simchat Torah increases our Joy

When making a list of my favorite Jewish Holidays, I shared

before that Sukkot is at the top of my list. (Feel free to look

back to last years Sukkot-time B'nai Zion Voice). However,

another favorite of mine has always been Simchat

Torah. The festive atmosphere always multiplies my level of

happiness. I've always loved the singing, dancing and the

Hakafot. Every year when we dance with the sifrei Torah, I

feel the joy of the people around me. I've also always really

appreciated the timing of Simchat Torah. It is a joyous

celebration that comes at the very end of the Tishrei

Holidays. By the time we start Simchat Torah, our

spirituality has been charged and recharged by the new year,

a soul cleansing fast and a 7-day outdoor festival. With

Simchat Torah we get to let our hair down and just be

happy. Of course our recent BZ tradition of handing out

candies to children of all ages also helps to increase our

cheer. This year, Beit Sefer Ivri will move it's regular

Wednesday classes to Thursday night, October 16 in order

to get in on all the Simchat Torah fun. You can find all the

details at the bottom of this page. I look forward to seeing

everyone at our big B'nai Zion Simchat Torah party for some

big fun!

Jewish Gift Voucher Program

Beginning in September 2014, children enrolled at

Aleph Bet Children’s Center may be eligible for a gift

voucher of up to $1,200 per year. Parents with

young children will have access to a special initiative

that emphasizes the benefits of Jewish engagement

during the early childhood years. By offering a

financial gift to reduce the cost of attending a Jewish

preschool, the program encourages families to embrace

their Jewish heritage and integrate Jewish values and

experiences into the lives of their young children.

By design, the program is simple: families apply to

receive support to decrease tuition expenses. The

vouchers, available annually for families whose

accounts are in good standing, are $360 for a child enrolled two days

per week, $600 for three days per week, and $1,200 for children

enrolled daily throughout the year. The gift voucher is paid directly

to Aleph Bet each month. To qualify as eligible, a family must have a

child who is accepted and enrolled at Aleph Bet Children’s Center

and must have at least one parent or guardian identifying as

Jewish. Additionally, every family must complete an annual survey

and reapply each year to continue receiving the award. The program

has a lifetime maximum benefit of $5,000 per family.

The gift voucher program was established in Chattanooga by the

Lebovitz Family Charitable Trust to inspire the continuation of

strong, vibrant Jewish communities, the program highlights the

importance of connecting youngsters to their Jewish identity at an

early age. To learn more about the program or to apply for a gift

voucher, contact Vicki Cathcart, director of the Aleph Bet Children’s

Center at 423-893-5486.

If you are interested donating to this program, please contact

committee members Amy Snetman at 892-0036 or David Fairchild at

596-7215. We hope you will join the Lebovitz Family Charitable

Trust in supporting Jewish education in Chattanooga!

Dear Friends,

In January I am mounting an exhibit here at the

JCC, and I need your help!

The subject of the exhibit is - “Israel for me”.

How can you participate? I need people from our

community, all ages, to answer the question “What

is Israel to me?”.

Your answer can be reflected by photo / object /

words/creatively or any way that you think

expresses your feelings. Your contribution will be presented with a

photograph of you and a few words about your entry.

Do you want to join me and be part of this? Haven’t been to Israel but

have strong feelings about the country? Join in any way. Contact with

me!!

New Members B’nai Zion Welcomes You!

Tikkun Olam: Devin Kodsi’s

Mitzvah Project To create a Bar Mitzvah project that will improve my community and make the world a better place, I looked back

on the good things in my own life. I realized that music has played a large role in my personal growth. This started in Elementary School and then continued with the Chattanooga Boys Choir. In both of these, I have been fortunate enough to have talented directors, instruments, and sheet music to study. Due to funding limitations, many schools in our community are not so fortunate. I have chosen for my Bar Mitzvah Project to raise money that will be used to provide music supplies to these schools and therefore share the positive influence that music has had on my life. In place of a gift, I will be accepting donations for this cause. — Devin Kodsi, Address: PMB 354, 711 Signal Mountain Road, Chattanooga, TN 37405
