The Theory of

Everything, a movie

whose topic is the life

of Professor Steven

Hawking has been

shown on cable

television over the past

few days. The movie is

at times both sad and

uplifting. Sad because

of the physical

disabilities and pain

that Hawking has had to endure during his lifetime

and uplifting for how much he has accomplished

and the positive attitude with which he continues to

live his life. His positivity in the face of almost

insurmountable obstacles should serve as a life

lesson for all of us.

Hawking is known for having a tremendous sense

of humor and once said, “In my school, the

brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright

did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did

biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my

father made me do chemistry because he thought

there would be no jobs for mathe-

maticians.” (Steven Hawking copyright 2013

@NPR).

Mathematics at times seems diametrically opposed

to the philosophical and theological nature of

religion, however in many ways mathematics and

religion go hand in hand, the only difference being

that in Judaism we call these formulas: gematria.

Gematria is actually an Assyro-Babylonian

System of Numerology later adopted by Judaism,

but for all intents and purposes, today it serves as

a guide to understanding some of the

complexities of Hebrew words. For example the

number 18 which is meaningful in Judaism

equates to the word Chai (life), and the word

Chesed (loving-kindness) equates to the number

72 (4 x 18). In short these two words teach us

that we are loved and can find kindness when we

surround ourselves in all four cardinal directions

with positivity, warmth and love. In terms of

Judaism, we surround ourselves on all four

corners with the Tzizit (representing God’s

commandments) on our tallis for some of these

same reasons.

I believe that Prof. Hawking accomplished

surrounding himself with positivity and this is

how he was able to succeed. He let his positive

energy overcome the obstacles in front of him

and thus found life (Chai) and loving-kindness

(Chesed) from all directions, and today we know

more about life because of his attitude and

genius. In the end, after watching the movie, I

was able to learn not only about the life of this

extraordinary man, but I also was able to learn a

little more about the mathematics of life and how

they are relevant to us all.

It is now my hope and prayer that we will

together find the right formula to carry out the

613 mitzvoth of God.

B’shalom and friendship,

Rabbi Andrew Bloom

AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.


This past month, I had the privilege of

spending some time with my sister in

Wilmington, Delaware. I am always

eager to plan my visits so that I can

experience the breathtaking autumn

foliage each year, as it is truly one of

my greatest pleasures in life to witness

the wonders of this beautiful season. It just so happened that my

visit was during what I would consider to be the height of the

incredible foliage. While the entire season is incredibly beautiful

back east, there seems to be a very narrow window each fall

during which the trees put on a spectacular show that is beyond

words. The trees were transforming right before my eyes, the

leaves changing from vibrant greens to bright yellows and burnt

oranges and fiery reds and deep purples. And, as the cool crisp

fall breeze would blow, the leaves would begin to fall from the

trees, elegantly dancing with the breezes and landing on lawns

and cars. Majestic and divine are two words that radiated through

my mind as I took leisurely walks with my sister in what I would

consider to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever been,

one of God's beautiful gems. I couldn't help but think of the

famous words of our forefather Jacob when he awoke from his

dream, "God is surely in this place and I didn't even know it."

One of the days during my visit to Delaware, I happened to walk

into a seasonal store that sold all kinds of items. My sister and I

have made visits to this particular store a tradition when I come

to see her. The first item that caught my eye was a simple

welcome mat, the kind most people set just outside the front door

of their homes for guests to wipe their shoes on upon entering the

home. The welcome mat was brown with no real decorations on

it. But what was written on it struck me in a way that still has me

thinking about it. In big capital letters, the mat said "thankful."

I'm pretty sure I stared at this mat for a moment or two, and if I

hadn't been concerned about airline baggage weight restrictions,

I'm pretty sure I would have purchased it.

Surrounded in the magnificent beauty of the autumn foliage and

having read the word "thankful" on that simple mat, I began

thinking about all of the incredible gifts that I am thankful for in

my life. It made me recall the words "Gratitude is my attitude"

which a wise person once shared with me in a difficult time. Each

year during this season, we come together with our families to

enjoy Thanksgiving and celebrate the abundance we have been

blessed with. And while this beautiful and festive holiday is but

one day each year, I am reminded that in Judaism, we express our

thanks to God each day. In the morning prayers, we sing of our

gratitude to God for waking us up each day and for allowing our

complicated bodies to function as they should. In the Amidah we

bow and say "modim," once again saying thanks to God. Before

we eat, we acknowledge God as the creator of the food we are

about to enjoy, and after we have done so, we thank God for

filling our bellies and allowing us to sustain ourselves with

proper nutrition. The simple mat is a very real

From Our Cantor and Educational Director

reminder to me of the gratitude I feel for the beauty of life, the

miracles, and wonders that we experience in our lives...be it

healing from illness, a memorable walk at sunset, a hug from a

loved one, a rejuvenating breath of fresh air, or a life lesson

learned.

As Thanksgiving approaches, may this be a good reminder to take

a step back and reflect on all that we are thankful for in our lives.

May we all continue to be blessed with health, happiness and all

that is good.

FROM OUR

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Soothsayer, Fortune Teller, Prognos-

ticator, Diviner, Oracle, Stargazer or

Prophet. These are some of the names

of those that claim to foresee the future.

I unfortunately am not one of those, nor

have I recently been in contact with such

an individual. However, I have been in

conversation with some individuals who have heard comments,

or rather misheard comments that have been made around and

about the synagogue. To put some of those comments to rest: we

have not sold the shul, nor have we sold the land, and we have

not purchased any property. To do so, requires approval of you,

our membership.

So what are all these comments about? Many of us are concerned

about the future, and the perceived needs of our congregation.

The implications create a short list, and that list will come from

our members when we hold “parlor meetings”, small, informal

gatherings that hopefully will provide impetus to a study

committee. What are the wants and needs of our congregational

community? Can we remodel the existing structure to meet those

wants/needs? Do we need to ‘sell’ the existing structure and

build on the back 40? Do we need to ‘sell’ all the property and

relocate? Do we need to do anything?

Whatever it is that we do, or not do, will take some time, and no

one that I know can forecast that outcome. I have been involved

in a similar process, and have been involved with both new

construction and remodel. Processes that take time. There is so

very much to consider. Be ready with questions for the parlor

meetings and don’t expect immediate answers. Be willing to

voice your opinions, thoughts and ideas as we are a community,

we are a family.

And speaking of family, Pat and I had a chance for a road trip

and to spend a few days with our son and daughter. It was fun,

not long enough, and I should have learned by now, that more

than twelve hours in a vehicle can be tiring. But, it was nice to

spend time as a family and to spend some time with longtime

friends.

Join us on a Friday night or a Shabbat morning and spend time

with your friends and your extended family. Our Shabbat

Kiddush luncheons are a source of great enjoyment to the

community. We do ask those of you who have not hosted a

luncheon to take the opportunity to celebrate your birthday,

wedding anniversary or remember a loved one. It is a mitzvah,

and that is what we do, and that is what we teach.

Thursday, November 12 at 7:00 p.m. The Isadore Garsek Lodge #269

of B’nai B’rith will present

Gil Elan with his

Update on Israel and the Middle East. at CAS.

FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Update on Focus on Future

As I mentioned on my Rosh Hashana speech we are in the

process of focusing on our needs for the future of the

congregation and as the first step we have discussed the options

of:

1). Refurbishing the building completely.

2). Sell the building and build a new one on the back 40.

3). Sell the building and the land and build at another location

4). Do nothing

And like always let me emphasis that we have not made any

decision and we will not make decision without congregational

approval.

As the second step we are going to get an assessment of our

assets. We are putting together a comprehensive request to

engage a company to evaluate our assets.

Meanwhile, we’d like to hear your opinion on the needs of our

congregation for the next 5 to 10 and further in the future. In

order to do this we are going to have several parlor meetings to

gather the needed information. If you would like to host one of

these meetings please contact the shul office so we can make the

arrangements. Some of the things I’d like you to start thinking

about:

A). What do you want in a building?

B). How much space do you think we need?

C). Is there anything good about our existing building?

D). How important is the security?

E). Your vision of the shul’s future.

These are just a few of items we’d like to start with.

Please again do not listen to rumors and gossip and if you have

any question feel free to contact me any time.

“Herb and Dorothy” Sunday November 15, 2015

6:30 p.m.

He was a postal clerk. She was a librarian. With their modest

means, the couple managed to build one of the most important

contemporary art collections in history. Meet Herb and Dorothy

Vogel, whose shared passion and discipline have defied

stereotypes and redefined what it means to be an art collector.

You will love this film, and if you’ve seen it before, come see it

again—it’s that kind of film.

“Deterrence” Sunday January 10, 2016 6:30 p.m.

“Deterrence” begins after the Jewish President dies, and his

successor is on the campaign trail to be re-elected. During a

campaign stop in Colorado, he and his entourage are snowed-in

at a diner, and all hell breaks loose. Suspense takes over as the

new President learns that Iraq has invaded Kuwait and

slaughtered hundreds of American soldiers. You will be on the

edge of your seat with all the intrigue—it is very real. A great

movie.

“Women in Gold” Sunday February 21, 2016 6:30 p.m.

“Woman in Gold” is about a Jewish woman who sought to

regain a world famous painting of her aunt's that was plundered

by the Nazis during World War II. She did so not just to regain

what was rightfully hers, but also to obtain some measure of

justice for the death, destruction, and massive art theft

perpetrated by the Nazis. This film starts Helen Mirren and Ryan

Reynolds and received worldwide acclaim.

“The Last Mentsch” Sunday March 27, 2016 6:30 p.m.

This piece of historical fiction follows a man who has denied his

Jewish heritage all his life. After surviving the horrors of

Auschwitz, he sought to forget the trauma by creating a new

identity for himself in Germany, one without Jewish friends or

ties. Now faced with his own mortality, he suddenly decides he

wants to be buried in a Jewish cemetery. “The Last Mentsch” is

a powerful, emotional journey.

“Beneath the Helmet” Sunday May 1, 2016 6:30 p.m.

The sixth film, Beneath the Helmet, to be shown on Sunday,

May 1, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. is a coming-of-age story which follows

the journey of five Israeli high-school graduates who are drafted

into the army to defend their country. At the age of 18, awary

from their homes, families and friends, these young individuals

undergo a demanding, inspiring journey, revealing the core of

who they are and who they want to be. Brought to us by the

generosity of special donors, this film illustrates how theses

young soldiers are defending not only their homes, but also the

values of peace, equality, opportunity, democracy, religious

tolerance and women’s rights.

Partially funded by the

Jewish Federation of Fort Worth and Tarrant County

FOCUS ON THE FUTURE The Focus on the Future committee will be hosting a number of parlor meetings to give the Congregation an opportunity to provide input into the decision-making process. At least two of these meetings will be at CAS and two others (more if needed) will be in private homes. If you are interested in attending a parlor meeting, please call the Shul office and we will make sure you are included. Otherwise, notice will be provided by either email or “All-Call”. In the meantime, feel free to contact one of the members of the Executive Committee with questions.
