membership about tensions that arose within our shul

community during Israel's war with Gaza, based on the

nature of the shul's response to the conflict. Our shul

membership has a wide range of views on Israel,

though I believe all are rooted in the love for Israel that

is one of our core principles. As I explained then, our

Board was working to develop a set of guidelines so

that members of our community across the spectrum

would feel that their views could be openly

expressed and were welcome at the

Narayever. In the late summer and fall the

Board discussed that question at length.

We have now developed a set of guidelines

which acknowledge and take into account

the diversity of opinions about Israel

among our membership. Members will

have to accept that from time to time

there may be programs that represent a

different point of view from their own. We

will strive for a range of viewpoints on Israel from

speakers and teachers at our shul, but we will not host

speakers who would delegitimize the State of Israel or

otherwise oppose its existence, or who advocate racial

incitement or violence. We hope these new guidelines

will make it possible for our members on all sides to feel

that their views are welcome and represented at the

shul.

A second item of business is our longstanding concern

about accessibility and space. We will shortly be

embarking on a process of consultation with the entire

membership about the future of our physical space.

Over the next few months we will ask members of the

shul community to examine a series of options and to

think about which building option they would support.

At the end of the process, we hope to have consensus

around a preferred option so that we can move

forward, finally, towards a rebuilt, renewed and

accessible physical space.

Dear Friends,

I hope each of you had a fulfilling and meaningful

festival season. With the High Holy Days and the

chagim concluded, we are now well into another busy

and hardworking fall and winter.

We are nearing the conclusion of our Centennial year

and I have been especially proud of the

variety of programming and projects we

undertook and completed during this

special year. I hope you had a chance to

visit the historical exhibit that was on

display at the Miles Nadal JCC for the

month of October. A tremendous amount

of work and original research went into the

development of the exhibit. It told a

remarkable story of transition and

transformation. Thanks to Sharoni Sibony,

Micky Fraterman, Janet Horowitz, and the

many others who turned the idea of the exhibit into

reality.

Those who missed the exhibit will be able to read the

companion historical account of our shul that will

appear in our Centennial commemorative book. It's a

great read, and every member household will receive a

copy. In addition to the history, the book includes

moving testimonials from several Narayever members

about what the shul has meant to them. There are also

greetings from dignitaries and many others. It will be a

lasting memento of our Centennial. Thanks to Lili Little

for her management of this remarkable project, and to

everyone else who contributed to its production.

If you're reading this message before November 9th,

don't miss our Shulabration, the big party for the whole

family that is the culmination of the Centennial year.

Of course, as I mentioned, there is always hard work

underway at the Narayever and I want to inform you

briefly about two important matters.

Many will recall that some time back I wrote to the

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

NOVEMBER, DECEMBER 2014 HESHVAN, KISLEV, TEVET 5775

This is my final newsletter column of our Centennial

Year. It has been quite a wonderful yearlong celebration,

with volunteer involvement and support from so many

people. I feel very proud to be the rabbi of such a

thriving and dynamic community as it celebrates this

important milestone. I am very excited about the

c u l m i n a t i n g c e l e b r a t i o n , o u r

“shulabration” on November 9, and look

forward to seeing lots of you there.

This year has offered us an opportunity to

look back. In the process of working on the

Centennial history exhibit and preparing

our Centennial book, we’ve learned a great

deal about our shul’s history. We've

learned that in many ways, the course of

our history as one small synagogue

community in Toronto exemplifies some of the most

significant trends in the North American Jewish

community of the last 100 years.

The Centennial has also been a time to think about and

celebrate our present. We've grown from a handful of

men from the same area of Galicia to become a

community of 680 diverse members. Our diversity

includes Jews of varying geographic and socioeconomic

backgrounds. It includes Jews by choice and Jews by

birth, and Jews of various sexual orientations. It includes

Jews who are quite observant of Jewish tradition in their

own lives, and Jews who are just dipping their toes in.

We are politically diverse as well, with a range of views

both on Israel and domestic issues. We are serving Jews

of all ages, married folks and singles.

And while those who are officially members are our core

community, we know that we are having an impact on

the wider community as well through our High Holy Day

services at the MNjcc, and on the many visitors who

attend our services and other programs throughout the

year. Our relationship with our non-Jewish neighbours is

also very important. All this diversity makes communal

life and communal decision-making challenging at

times, but it is also extraordinarily interesting and rich.

NARAYEVER NEWS

RABBI’S MESSAGE

Rabbi Ed [email protected]


Held at the Cecil Street Community Centre on November 9, our entire community has been invited to join together in celebration.

The Shulabration celebrates the Narayever – from past to present to future. From 4 until 7pm our community will sing, dance, enjoy our special 100th-year celebration video, receive our fantastic commemorative book, and enjoy the company of our amazing community members. A silent auction in support of our shul features both valuable artifacts and invaluable services including in-house concerts, gourmet dinners and countless other gifts.

Whether you are young or old, our Shulabration will remind you that we have a great deal to celebrate.

WE ARE GEARING UP FOR OUR

As the Centennial year winds down, we are also thinking

about the shul's future. We know that our founders

would probably be pretty dumfounded if they could see

the present incarnation of the Narayever, and we

similarly are limited in our ability to imagine the future

trajectory of our community.

We know that there continues to be a great deal of

assimilatory pressure in our society, yet we

also know that our shul is still growing -- and

we are delighted to welcome new members

all the time, with all the energy and new

ideas that they bring. Where the leaders of

tomorrow will take us in our second century

remains to be seen. I for one hope that the

conversation between traditionalism and

egalitarianism remains at the core of who

we are as a community. There are, of

course, many directions that that

conversation can take. That uncertainty of direction may

be a bit frightening – but that's the thing about the

future, it is by definition unknown. We have to trust that

with God's help, our beloved Narayever community will

continue to thrive over the next 100 years.

Happy Birthday Narayever!

Dear Friends,

On the 6th night of Chanukah, Sunday, December 21,

2014, come to light the menorah, sing, dance, spin the

dreidel, eat, drink and share in the joy of light with the

Narayever community!

Bring the entire family to revel in the joy of the Chanukah

lights as the First Narayever celebrates Chanukah as a

community on Sunday, December 21, 2014 from 5:30 -

7:30 pm.

Do you think that you're an expert at making your dreidel

spin longer than any one else? Come out to compete for

the top prize in our Spin the Dreidel Contest. Want to

know what the prize is? You’ll have to come to the

Chanukah party and spin your dreidel to find out!

delicious, rich, white hot chocolate with brilliant blue

sprinkles, sufganiyot and other seasonal snacks for

noshing.

Also, if you wish to edge out the competition in our spin

Tradition and Transition:

100 Years of the First Narayever Congregation

Post Kiddush, Shabbat November 1, 1:30 pm

With Sharoni Sibony

A lively history of our shul, from our humble

beginnings as an immigrant landsmanschaft

(hometown association) to our pivotal role in the

renewal of downtown Jewish life today. Sharoni Sibony

shares the findings of the research we have conducted

regarding our shul's history. Jump in and join the fun of

historical sleuthing: help Sharoni interpret these

pieces of our past!

Sharoni Sibony is the Manager of the Jewish Life

Department at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community

Centre. In her volunteer time, she sits on the Board of

Limmud Toronto, serves as a tour guide for the Ontario

Jewish Archives' Sense of Spadina tours, and has

helped produce an exhibition on the history of the First

Narayever Congregation. She has also been a part-

time potter for over 15 years and loves getting dirty

with clay.

The Tribes of Israel

This year, Rabbi Elkin will be teaching a course entitled

“The Tribes of Israel: A Shared Homeland for a Divided

People”. The series, designed by the Shalom Hartman

Institute in Jerusalem, will discuss the challenge of

creating a Jewish and democratic public space in the

modern State of Israel – a shared common space for a

people divided along “tribal” affiliations: religious,

ideological, national, and geographic. How does a

people divided along these lines build a shared

society?

The course will consist of 5 sessions in the fall, and 5

sessions in the spring. Participants may sign up for

either the fall or the spring series, or both.

Topics to be covered in the fall will include:

The format of the class will include watching clips of

videos provided by the Shalom Hartman Institute's top

scholars on the various topics and discussion led by

Rabbi Elkin.

The fall dates are on Wednesday nights: November 5,

12, December 3, 10, 17, from 7 - 9 pm. There will be a

$40 charge that includes the class sourcebook. While

discussion may refer to material covered in previous

sessions, each class will have its own topic and people

may sign up even if they know they can't make all the

sessions.

To register, please contact the shul office –

[email protected] or 416.927.0546.

This class is cosponsored by the shul’s Adult Education

and Israel and Wider Community committees.

Jews and Money

Sunday November 16, 7:30 pm

This moderated panel discussion will focus on

narratives from the Jewish community's survival of the

Holocaust and the First Nations community's survival

of the residential school system. The panel will bring

together the two communities with histories of

persecution for the purpose of communication,

cooperation, and dialogue.

By sharing personal narratives of survival, engage

survivors and their descendants to explore how each

generation has been empowered to share their stories

and explore ways to work together and advocate for

each other. The panel will be followed by an audience

Q&A. This program is organized by Ve’ahavta: The

Canadian Jewish Humanitarian Relief Committee.

Jews and money is a contentious subject. The Jewish

predominance in finance is often used to slander

them, such as the scurrilous stories spread by 9/11

deniers. As a people, Jews have been extremely

generous, civic-minded and philanthropic, yet the

stereotypes endure.

“There's a tacit taboo on talking about the

relationships connecting Jews and wealth, power and

influence. It pushes buttons for some and generally is

not mentioned in polite society,” said the Jewish

Community Center of San Francisco, which hosted a

series of recent events to bring it into the open (see

).

Theodor Herzl:

Man of Letters and Modern-Day Prophet


With Derek Penslar

is a Toronto Star journalist, author,

blogger and University of Toronto instructor, working

to help people understand their personal finances. She

will look at the image of Jews and money in history and

popular culture, trying to set the record straight. She

will also give tips on mastering money in your own life.

From the destruction of the Second Temple until the

1800s, virtually all great Jewish leaders were rabbis

whose authority rested in religious learning. In

modern times, as Jews became more secular, so did

their leaders. Yet even in a secular environment a great

Jewish leader still evoked myths and symbols from the

Jews' religious tradition. This talk will focus on one

great modern Jewish leader, Theodor Herzl, who was

admired by Jews for his achievements as an Austrian

man of letters but was also venerated as a latter-day

Hebrew prophet.

Derek Penslar is the Samuel Zacks Professor of

European Jewish History at University of Toronto and

the Stanley Lewis Professor of Israel Studies at Oxford.

His most recent book is Jews and the Military: A

History, which was published in 2013 by Princeton

University Press. He is currently writing a biography of

Theodor Herzl for Yale University Press’ “Jewish Lives”

series.

History Walk with Dr. Lipinsky

SHUL MATTERS

The weather was absolutely beautiful when about 35

people gathered in front of the shul on October 12 to

go on a Jewish historical stroll through the

neighbourhood. Historian Dr. Jack Lipinsky was our

knowledgeable and passionate guide. He holds a

doctorate in History from the University of Toronto

and he has written and lectured extensively about

Toronto Jewish History.

Dr. Lipinsky was

h e l p e d b y

residents of the

neighbourhood

who added their

personal stories

about their youth

and their Jewish

neighbours. They also added their memories of living

in Victorian houses with many people under primitive

circumstances. As we walked, we learned about the

various prominent Jewish institutions on Brunswick

Avenue.

We were wondering what considerations our founders

might have debated when they thought of buying the

Mennonite Church at 187 Brunswick to house the First

Narayever in 1943 while the war was raging in Europe.

Dr. Lipinsky explained that during the war, property

prices were depressed and it was a good time to buy a

property. The Congregation bought our building for

$6,000 (the equivalent of approximately $82,200

today).

Back at the shul a lovely lunch was awaiting us in the

sukkah set up by Rachel Zilberg and Reuven Shlozberg.

A wonderful conclusion to an interesting walk.

The audit for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 has

been completed and I am pleased to report that our

membership fee revenue increased by 5% over the

previous year, and donations increased by almost 7%.

After providing $25,700 for the depreciation of our

building and furnishings, the shul's financial reserves

have shown modest increase year-over-year.

Our financial goal is to limit membership fee increases

to reflect the Cost of Living Index (CSI). All synagogues

face the same reality: increasing costs can only be met

by the congregation’s awareness of the need to make

donations towards the shul's operations.

We have done well in this regard over the past year

with generous responses to special fundraising drives

for the pew seat cushions, the new mahzorim to

celebrate Rabbi Ed's bar mitzvah year with the shul,

the new gates and improved landscaping work that is

underway at the Bathurst Lawn cemetery, and the

ShinShinim program.

We are off to a very good start this year with our new

Rosh Hashanah Appeal and Membership Subsidy

Fund, and the greetings and ads in the Centennial

Commemorative Book to be published shortly.

All of these donations are vital to the continued sound

financial operation of the shul, and the Board of

Governors thanks everyone who has contributed.

As we write this column, we have just turned the

corner with the High Holy Days now behind us. Due to

the devotion and energy on the part of our teen and

adult leaders, our parent volunteers, and the logistics

support from the MNjcc staff, our High Holy Day

programs for children and youth were another success

for kids of all ages.

We can also not thank Marsha and Ariella, our shul

office, enough for all of the hours of behind the scenes

work that make the rest of us look good! The feedback

on our High Holy Day youth programming has been

quite positive so far, but we know there are things we

can do to improve.

We welcome your input regarding our High Holy Day

programs and our year-round programs. And, of

course, there are many ways that adults can get

involved to make our programming even more positive

for Narayever kids!

We would love to see some new faces around the table

at our Youth Committee meetings. As your little ones

grow and attend the elementary school age groups,

and then the tween and teen years, their needs, and so

in turn your perspectives, change.

The best way for our children and youth leaders to

meet those needs is to hear your voices in the

discussions when we reflect and plan. The committee

meets three times every school year. But maybe you

are feeling too busy and stressed out to be on the

committee… not to worry! There are other ways for

parents to be involved. You might consider:

◆ leading programs such as B’yachad on a Shabbat

morning (we can help with materials & training)

◆ serving as Ushers in the children’s areas on

Shabbat mornings

◆ planning children's activities for chagim

◆

◆

And on that note, we

invite you to join us for a

meeting to brainstorm

p r o g r a m m i n g f o r

B ’ y a c h a d ( S h a b b a t

morning program for tots

- grade one) and our programming for kids in the post-

B’yachad age groups. Mark your calendars for: Sunday

Nov. 23, from 3 - 4:30 pm at the shul. Babysitting and

snacks provided.

Our teens are looking forward to the 2nd Annual

Chalutzim Great Cottage Getaway! We will be

heading once again to the Kawarthas for a post-

Havdallah 24 hour retreat, from Saturday evening

November 15 to Sunday night November 16.

Our Va’ad (teen board) and ShinShinim will be leading

lots of fun and thought provoking activities, with time

to spare for chilling and lots of food! Cost for the

retreat will be $75 per participant.

Please contact the shul office at 416.927.0546 to

register. Please feel free at any time to be in touch with

one of us if you have questions or input about any of

our children's or youth programming.

If there is one time a year that members of our shul really

pull together, it is the High Holy Days. There is so much to

do and every year so many people make time in their

schedules to do it. Please, when you see someone who

helped out this year (and there are many), please thank

them for their generosity of spirit and dedication to the

shul. Everything that they have done is appreciated by all

of us.

First and foremost, thank you to those who prepared and

led services, chanted Torah and haftarah, and blew

shofar. These were your services; you led us. This was

the centre without which there is nothing.

Thank you to those who prepared the sanctuaries both at

the shul and at the MNjcc. To our office staff and the

MNjcc staff; to those who came in and helped out at the

shul office; to our accessibility committee that designed

the new layout at the Mnjcc, purchased new chairs for

the bimah, and created large-print machzorim.

To the individuals who set the Torahs and portered them

and polished the silver so that it looked fantastic; to those

who hung artwork at the MNjcc to turn it into a shul. To

the Building Committee that ensured that the shul

building was at its best.

To the dozens of volunteers, every one appreciated, who

helped put out chairs and seat covers and books; who put

them away in boxes after Rosh Hashanah - and then put

them all out again for Yom Kippur.

Thank you to those who made sure everything flowed

smoothly in the sanctuaries on those special days. To the

ushers and gabbais and honours-givers and page

announcers and shofar-blower-helpers and to everyone

in the congregation who made room for their neighbour

or helped someone find their place.

Thank you to those who arranged the children's

programming. To the Youth Committee, to our Family

and Youth Engagement Coordinator, to the youth leaders

and helpers and parent volunteers who made sure that

every child had the opportunity to enjoy a meaningful,

SHUL MATTERS

HIGH HOLY DAY THANK-YOUSeducational, and fun experience at all times while

services were going on.

Thank you to the Adult Education Committee and

everyone who arranged the chanting and the study

sessions; to those who delivered them and those who

participated in them. Thank you to members of the Food

Committee and everyone involved in providing apples

and honey on Rosh Hashanah and honey cake after Yom

Kippur. Thank you to our choir and its director.

Thank you to our childcare staff and our ticket takers,

including the one who took care of tidying things up after

Yom Kippur so we congregants could go to break our

fasts.

Thank you to the Fundraising Committee and the Social

Action Committee and all those who arranged the appeal

for the shul and the appeal not for the shul and the food

drive. Thank you to the Membership and Shul

Community Committee for putting together the tickets

and other materials and to the Communications

Committee for making sure people knew about the

services.

Thank you to the President and Vice-President and

Rabbis Elkin and Weiss for preparing announcements,

speeches, sermons, and study sessions, and to the

Executive and Board of Governors for their wise

oversight. And thank you to the amazing spouses and

family members who supported all the people who were

making all this happen.

Thank you for helping the First Narayever Congregation

start 5775 off right.

SHUL MATTERS

The weeks preceding the Yamin Tovim are the busiest

for the Membership Chair. There is a flurry of activity as

prospective members make enquiries and ultimately

submit their applications for membership in time to

join us for Rosh Hashanah.

It is so rewarding to receive each and every application,

as it is a reaffirmation that our little shul is truly a

special place. Individuals and families who have

‘shopped around’ and checked out the myriad of

synagogue options in the GTA have made their

decision and chosen us. It is truly a humbling and

rewarding experience for me - over and over again. I

hear phrases like “we love the Rabbi” and “the service

is so haymishe”. New members span the life cycle

spectrum as some are joining a shul for the first time in

anticipation of their marriage while others are joining

to be with grandchildren who are already members.

Although the final numbers aren’t in yet, I am

confident that this year will again be a year of growth in

our membership numbers. I would encourage long

time members to seek out new members each

Shabbat to personally welcome them to our

community.

As always Rabbi Elkin and Linda Lipsky will be

graciously hosting a light dinner and havdallah service

for new members in their home in early January. This

will be a great opportunity for new members to meet

each other and members of the Narayever Board.

This past year saw the inauguration of a new fund. In

the spring we introduced the “Membership Subsidy

Fund”.

Our longstanding policy is that nobody is denied

membership due to financial circumstances. Members

requesting a subsidy are dealt with in confidence and

with respect. Subsidizing memberships, a cornerstone

of our membership structure, puts great pressure on

our annual budget. I am pleased to report that the

Narayever community has embraced this new fund

beyond expectations. Many members added a special

donation to their shul dues - thank-you to those who

were able to contribute! We encourage members to

support this fund throughout the year.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our office

administration staff members, Marsha and Ariella, for

their incredible efforts in processing all the

membership applications and renewals. Their

professionalism and competence resulted in

everything running exceptionally smoothly this year. I

would also like to acknowledge and thank Mary Lou

Smith for coordinating our annual High Holy Day meal

match.

The Membership and Shul Community Committee is

looking for a few new members. Discussions at our bi-

monthly meetings are always lively and thought

provoking. If you are interested in joining or wish more
