Rabbi Anthony Fratello

We had just barely finished the service last, and

were just beginning to dig into bagels and lox when

the first questions were posed to me, “Rabbi… when

are we going to do this again?” “Rabbi, I too want to

become an Adult B’nei Mitzvah!”

A little background: On May 20th of this year, we

celebrated as 10 Adults from our congregation

ascended the Bema to celebrate becoming B’nei

Mitzvah. They were of different ages, came from

different backgrounds, each motivated by their own

desires and goals. And, yet, on that glorious morning

in May, they all came together and took their rightful

places. Not just on the Bema of their own

congregation, but as Adult Jews in our Community.

I know many of you shared with us on that day; I

know many of you felt as moved as I.

I cannot tell you with certainty when the concept of

Adult B’nei Mitzvah first came about. I can tell you

it was more than 46 years ago! I know that for

certain as my mother was in the First Adult B’nei

Mitzvah Class at Temple Beth David, the synagogue

I grew up in in Southern California, and that was a

year or two before I was born. To this day you can

ask my mother about the experience, and she will tell

you how moving and powerful it was. Many of us—

dare I say most of us—go through this process at

12/13. Some of us do it by choice, still others out of

obligation. For Adults, however, becoming B’nei

Mitzvah themselves, on their own terms, is

something indescribable. It is a moment of

transcendent power.

So here and now I can answer that question posed to

me; “Rabbi... when are we going to do this again?”

Well, we’ve already begun. Our next Adult B’nei

Mitzvah Cohort will start this Fall. The program will

work as it has in the last two iterations; our wonder-

ful Miriam Schaffer will teach the first part of the

class, with guest appearances by myself and Cantor

Ovadia. During that time students will have an

opportunity to learn some Hebrew, to discover more

about our history and tradition, and to gain deeper

insights into our traditions and texts. During the

second phase I will direct our study towards our

group celebration in the Spring of 2020.

For those of you who might want to participate, we

will be having an informational meeting on

Wednesday, September 26, at 7:00 PM. If you have

questions before that time feel free to contact me. I

look forward to seeing you and guiding you on the

next step of your Jewish Journey.

Cantor Judith Borden Ovadia

Rabbi and I were discussing how strange it feels that

we are practicing the Rosh Hashanah and

Yom Kippur liturgy again already. Seriously, wasn’t

it just a few weeks ago that we broke the fast after

Neilah? Despite the fact that we are excitedly

anticipating Rosh Hashanah, I want to tell you about

a few events that will occur after the holidays are in

our rear-view mirror.

First of all, so many of you have come up to me in

the past year to express a desire to spend some time

together. I think it’s about time for “Coffee With The

Cantor,” an opportunity to meet and get to know each

other, and just visit for a little while. I will provide

the refreshments; you provide the company. Join me

at the Temple on Thursday, October 11, at 10:30 am.

Our delightful Adult Volunteer Choir, “Kol Simcha,”

will resume rehearsals on Tuesday, October 30, at

7pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to sing, learn

some new music, and get to know fellow congre-

gants. We rehearse almost every Tuesday night

(check the temple calendar) from November through

April and we sing during services at the third Friday

night of the month during that season. There is no

audition, and no particular musical talent necessary.

We only ask that you commit to rehearsal and

service attendance.

During the High Holidays, congregants of all ages

will be coming up to the Torah to leyn or chant the

Torah portion. Others will recite the blessings before

and after the Torah or Haftarah readings. If you

would like to learn how to do this, or you already

know and would like the honor of leyning during

services, please contact me via email

(cantor@templeshaareishalom.com) and let me know.

We invite congregants to take part in our worship

and Torah reading throughout the entire year.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any

questions or would like further information about

any of the above. I look forward to sharing a

meaningful High Holy Day season with you all.

May you be inscribed for blessing in the New

Year!

Lisa Cuthbertson

I cannot believe that it’s been a year since I stood up and said, “I am that Jew”; and I asked everyone to be that

“building a Temple for tomorrow, ensuring our children’s children have a place to call home Jew”. So, now

it’s a year later and so much has been accomplished; and at the same time, I’m excited for what 5779 will

bring.

Most of you know that this year has been filled with its fair share of sadness for my family, but also so much

joy; and I know I’m not alone in that statement. But maybe that’s my point – I was never alone; and I have the

community that I adore to thank for that fact. I couldn’t let this year end without letting you know how grateful

I am for all of the tremendous support and love that you have shown and continue to show my family – every

single day.

So, as we are bringing 5778 to a close, I am personally reflecting on what Jew I really was this past year. Was

I good wife and mother? Was I a good friend? Was I a good leader? A good follower? Ultimately, I ask was I a

good Jew – was I what I was supposed to be? At the end of day, that’s all that really matters. But more so, just

because we’re at the end of a year, doesn’t mean we stop trying to be the Jew we’re supposed to be.

I can’t wait to see you and your family at the High Holy Days. I can’t wait to tell you what a tremendous year

we had at Temple Shaarei Shalom; but I also can’t wait to tell you what our focus areas will be for this coming

year.

On behalf of Garry, Mike, and myself – we wish all of you and your families a happy, healthy and sweet new

year.

Joshua Ackman MAJE

This time of year is where some people discuss “new be-

ginnings,” since, after all, Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish

New Year. Others will discuss that this is a time to reflect

on the people we were and work towards being a better

person next year. I would like to take this time to discuss

the concept of Teshuvah, typically translated as

“repentance,” but more

accurately, “return.”

To me, the best aspect of Judaism is its unwavering

acceptance of imperfections and change. While there may

be different interpretations of ritual practice in Judaism,

we all agree on this one principal- we are all still Jews.

Plain and simple, a Jew is a Jew. If my path leads me

astray for a while, I can always return. To paraphrase a

line from “Shrek,” Judaism is like an Onion- layer upon

layer upon layer. Losing one layer, doesn’t discount

everything, it only leads to the opportunity to find another.

If we treated other people with the same kind of

unconditional love and acceptance as Judaism, the world

would be a much better place. During the High Holiday

season, we put a lot of emphasis on the apology- the

righting of past wrongs. Even our prayers discuss the

transgressions we have made this year.

Judaism believes that repairing a mistake or apologizing

for behavior is always an option, no matter the situation.

The responsibility lies in our hands; the work of repair

requires effort but is not impossible and has a value in and

of itself. While focusing on the apology is a very

important aspect, I think we do a disservice by not

focusing on the flip side- the forgiving. Our thoughts

during this holiday season is asking for the ability to right

our wrongs, which can only be accepted by the person

who receives our apology. Judaism teaches that each

person is made in the image of God, a concept known as

B’tzelem Elohim. If we are made B’tzelem Elohim then

we all possess the ability to forgive. Take this time to, not

just think about the missteps you may have taken, but re-

flect on the opportunities you might have missed where

someone else tried to atone.

With the school year starting as well, our students do not

just recite prayers, recognize Hebrew letters, and find

Israel on a map. Our students are raised on Jewish values

and ethics. They make informed decisions about their

lives and conduct themselves as a mensch. Your child, as

a student in our program will grow to be a young adult

who has confirmed his or herself to living the Jewish life

that flourishes in his or her heart from the wonderful

experiences and connections they made while at Temple

Shaarei Shalom.

Having said that, we are taking our school-wide monthly

middot (Jewish value) and working towards finding ways

to involve all aspects of our Temple family in Social

Action projects and value programs. With the help of our

amazing new Social Action chair, Holly Bromer, we are

excited to roll out some great programs and activities

throughout the year, beginning with our Annual Food

Drive for the High Holidays, which ends with our Family

Sukkot Program on Sept. 23rd. Please see the flyer for

more details.

I look forward to everything we can accomplish together

this year and I thank you for choosing to provide your

children with a Jewish education here at Temple Shaarei

Shalom.

From myself, my wife, and all the staff and clergy-

Shanah Tovah and we wish you nothing but a Happy,

Sweet, Healthy, (insert a million other positive wishes)

New Year!

Live Like Jake is an organization that is dedicated to bringing

awareness to the public about Drowning Prevention. The

organization was founded by Palm Beach County native Keri

Morrison after her 3 year old son died of an accidental drown-

ing. One of the Foundations main missions is to promote water

safety through the swim technique of ISR, "Infant Swim Re-

source". In addition to raising money, I will be donating a

portion of any money I receive from Bar Mitzvah gifts to Live

Like Jake. To those interested in learning more about this

program and/or donating to this very worthwhile cause, please

As a beach and ocean lover, I thought that a meaningful

mitzvah project would be to help clean our beaches and

ocean. The recent news reports of red tide outbreaks and high

bacteria content in our waterways is something that affects the

ocean and all of its marine life. I decided to make a difference

by addressing the pollution in the ocean and at the beach. I

scheduled multiple beach clean-ups and with my family I

collected trash on the beach and in the water. Pollution is

everyone’s concern. I intend to continue to clean beaches and

encourage others to help keep our oceans clean.

Social Action Committee

Hi! I’m Holly Bromer, Temple Shaarei Shalom’s new Social Action Chair. My husband and I have been Temple Members since

2013. We have two sons, ages 13 & 10. I look forward to working with our congregation to create a more meaningful experience

for all members and have a positive impact on our local community.

The New Year is fast approaching! What resolutions will you be making come Rosh Hashanah? The Jewish New Year is a time to

resolve that the upcoming year will be even better than the last. Unlike our secular new year resolutions made in December, the

commitments we make during this period tend to relate to family, friends and community. The new year is an opportunity to

reaffirm the Jewish tradition’s longstanding commitment to “tikkun olam.”

The phrase tikkun olam is understood to mean “repairing the world.” For Reform Jews, the importance of working individually and

collectively towards a better and redeemed world is vital to our understanding of what being active Jews means. The Jewish path

relies heavily on community. So many of the mitzvot are impossible to do alone. If we want to help the poor, clothe the naked,

house the homeless, heal the sick, and pursue justice, we need to join with others and to act in a coordinated way to turn the values

of the Torah into action.

Sometimes, the idea of repairing the world can seem overwhelming, but that is when we should remember a quote often attributed to

Martin Luther King, Jr.: “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.”

Tiny gestures like voting, volunteering, or making a small donation to cause can go a long way to fulfilling your spiritual resolu-

tions. Just because an act of service or outreach is small doesn’t mean it’s not quality. So, please get involved in your local commu-

nity. You can start right here by donating nonperishable foods (no glass please) to our annual Food Drive. Throughout the month of

September, our congregation will partner with Alpert Jewish Family & Children Services (AJFCS) and Community Caring Center of

Greater Boynton Beach (CCCGB) to turn hunger in to hope. In addition, you can visit our “voting booth” on September 23 to regis-

ter to vote or learn more information about the 2018 mid-term election.

Lastly, you can email Socialaction@templeshaareishalom.com to learn ways to volunteer, participate, and stay engaged.

L’shana Tovah! May the new year bring you hope, peace & joy!

ISRAEL COMMITTEE The Israel Committee has been meeting over the summer, and we are planning a number of events. A number of members of the

committee and many of our friends are off on October 10 for two weeks in Israel with Rabbi Fratello. The Committee is

sponsoring an event on October 29 at 7pm at the Temple as an opportunity to hear the impressions of and adventures in Israel from

people on the trip. We will be showing some travel pictures of our trip as well. This is a free event and light refreshments will be

served. However, we would appreciate an RSVP by October 26 so we can have enough seats and food.

Please contact the office at 561-364-9054 and let them know if you will be attending.

We are also well along planning for the May 7, 2019 Y om Ha’Atzmaut celebration of Israel at 71. We will also be co-sponsoring a

program next year with the Brotherhood. We have a great committee and would love to have you join us.

Participation on the Israel Committee is a good way to participate at TSS without an excessive commitment of time. Please contact

Rich Rosentein at 617-595-1850 if you want further information. Our next meeting will be on October 2 at 7pm.

Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur for the Jewish Soul By the Jewish Jewel

Rosh Hashanah is a two-day celebration, beginning on the first day of Tishrei - the first month of the Jewish

civil year, but the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year.

According to Judaism, Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the year because it is held on the traditional an-

niversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman according to the Hebrew Bible, and their

inauguration of humanity's role in God's world.

Rosh Hashanah customs include sounding the shofar (a hollowed-out ram's horn), as prescribed in the Torah,

following the prescription of the Hebrew Bible to "raise a noise" on Yom Teruah; and among its rabbinical

customs is attending synagogue services and reciting special liturgy about teshuva, as also enjoying festive

meals. Eating symbolic foods such as apples dipped in honey is now a tradition, hoping thereby to evoke a

"sweet new year.”

According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year into a book, the Book of

Life, on Rosh Hashanah, and waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict. During the Days of Awe, a Jew tries

to amend his or her behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against God and against other human be-

ings. The evening and day of Yom Kippur are set aside for public and private petitions and confessions of guilt

(Vidui). At the end of Yom Kippur, one hopes that they have been forgiven by God.
