In 2018, or 5779, I led the High Holiday services at the University of Texas Hillel. It was my first time being the “Rabbi” of a community on the High Holidays and it was a great experience. On my way home the day after Yom Kippur got into a shared car at the airport, and to my surprise the person who was there with me was also coming back from spending the High Holidays in Austin. His mother lived there and he would go down every year to help the Reform Temple there with their services.
We got to talking a bit and the conversation turned to the differences between life in Texas and in New York City. Specifically, we commiserated about the pace of life in New York. How fast it was, how we felt as though every-one—including ourselves!—were always in a rush to somewhere or from somewhere. We both shared how everything seemed to move just a bit slower in Austin, in Ann Arbor where I grew up, in Little Rock, pretty much anywhere else.
This conversation got me thinking about the importance of not being in a rush, of slowing down. I believe that when I’m in a rush I’m not the best version of myself and that’s likely true of others as well. And even though New York City might be the capital of rushing, in the 21st century it’s nearly impossible not to be in a rush no matter where you live. With email, social media, cell phones, and the immediacy of both our work life and our social life, we are hard pressed to find the time when we can slow down at all. When we do allow ourselves the luxury of slowing down, we affect three different relationships, we affect our relationship with others, our relationship with ourselves, and our relationship with God.
In the course of our conversation, the gentleman from the car ride shared with me a study that was done at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1973. Researchers John Darley and Daniel Batson recruited 40 seminary students for the experiment which was performed on the campus of the school, which trains Protestant Christian clergy. Darley and Batson brought the seminary students to one building for the beginning of what they believed was a study in “religious education.” They were told to prepare a lesson or lecture on a topic and that they would then go to a different building where they would teach or deliver the lecture.
On the way to the second building, they would pass a man—an actor—slumped over in an alleyway asking for help. The goal of the study was to see how the students would react to the man and what—if anything—might change the way they behaved.. There were two primary variables in experiment: one was the subject the student would be teaching. Students were given a variety of subjects including that of the parable of the Good Samaritan, where the moral of the story is the importance of helping strangers along the road.
Darley and Batson found that the subject had a negligible effect on whether the students would stop to help the actor. Even if they were lecturing on the parable of the Good Samaritan there was not a significant difference in whether they would stop!
The second variable was how much of rush they were in. For some students, the researchers told them they had a lengthy period of time to reach the other location, while for others they would say they were in a big hurry and already late to lead the other lesson. In low hurry situations, 63% stopped to help the person. In high hurry situations, just 10%. In high-hurry situations, on several occasions, a seminary student going to give his talk on the parable of the Good Samaritan literally stepped over the victim as he hurried on his way!
Now, this is not to say that any of these students are bad people. As Darley and Batson themselves noted, It is often true of people in a hurry that they are hurrying because somebody depends on their being somewhere. “Conflict, rather than callousness,” the authors wrote. “can explain their failure to stop.” They concluded that “Ethics becomes a luxury as the speed of our daily lives increases.”
By slowing down, we allow ourselves the time to see others in need and respond to that need. It also allows us to be more in touch with ourselves and our own throughs and feelings. The early 20th century Lithuanian scholar Eliahu Eliezer Dessler wrote:
אין הזמן עובר על אדם אלא שהאדם נוסע בתוך הזמןIt is not time that passes by us, but rather we travel through time. How can we make that journey more intentional? How do we make ourselves more aware of the way time
shapes our lives and how do we make sure that we’re not letting time simply pass us by? Author Michael Gelb wrote in How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, that he asked thousands of people, “Where are you when you get your best ideas?” The most common answers he got included “in the shower” and “walking in nature.” “Almost no one,” Gelb writes, “claims to get their best ideas at work.” In his Treatise on Painting, Davinci wrote, “ A very good plan every now and then to go away and have a little relaxation...When you come back to the work your judgment will be surer…”
When we take the time to slow down and not simply let time pass us by, we become more in tune with our inner selves. We also have the opportunity to connect more deeply to God and our experience as Jews. Beth Kander Dauphin, the communications director for the Institute for Southern Jewish Life pointed out that at this time of year: “The air gets a little cooler, the days get a little shorter, and while weeks are no less busy, they are interrupted and overtaken by celebrations, reflection, and reminders both seasonal and sacred that it’s time to hit the pause button.” The air certainly got cooler in Little Rock between Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur, and this is indeed a time of year that we are better at slowing down. We are more willing to say “work can wait.” We are more open to the idea of put-ting ourselves and our relationship with God first. But this does not have to be limited to a few weeks in the fall.

Rabbi’s Message Cont…
My mentor at the Conservative Synagogue in Riverdale Rabbi Barry Katz wrote, “the emotional intensity of the high holidays is possible only once a year. But once a week, our tradition offers us the chance to remove the obstacle that keeps us
from gaining perspective- our engagement with the work of building a life.” The Zionist philosopher Echad Ha’Am similarly noted, “more than the Jews have kept shabbat, it is shabbat that has kept the Jews.” Shabbat is this weekly reminder that we can slow down. That we can slow down not merely for the sake of slowing down, but slowing down with the goal of celebrating creation and connect-ing to our community and to the divine. Abraham Joshua Heschel reminds us that The Sabbath is not for the sake of the weekdays; the weekdays are for the sake of Sabbath. It is not an interlude but the climax of living.” Slowing down allows us to connect differently and allows us to be the best versions of ourselves.
This year, I want us to embrace shabbat as a community as a way to slow down, as a palace in time that we can build together. We are going to work to make our palace in time a palace that is more friendly for everyone in our community, including the whole family. We will be developing new programming for kids so that they and their parents can be full members of our shabbat experience. Additionally, every time I come to town I will be teaching a class about some aspect on shabbat. We will explore texts and ideas related to shabbat that can help our community come to a greater appreciation of this amazing day that we are gifted with every week. I look forward to spending time together learning halacha (law), midrash (legend), as well poetry and song that can make this day more special every time we celebrate it together.
Or, as another sage, the great Ferris Bueller once put it, “Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
Shanah Tovah,
Student Rabbi Ben Freed
