A V I E W F R O M T H E B I M A H

My summer reading this year includes a fascinating new book, Putting God Second: How to Save Religion from Itself by Rabbi Donniel Hartman.

Before I comment on the book, just a word about the author: Donniel Hartman heads an institute based in Jerusalem called the Shalom Hartman Institute, founded by his late father, Rabbi David Hartman. Both are Orthodox rabbis, students of the late Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, who combined personal observance with a warm outreach throughout the Jewish world.

The Hartman Institute is a unique resource in Jewish life – to my knowledge the only academic forum that brings together Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist and Orthodox rabbis from throughout the world to learn together, teach each other and discuss how to apply the wisdom in Jewish texts to contemporary issues. Their mission statement is a fine summary: “The Shalom Hartman Institute is a pluralistic center of research and education deepening and elevating the quality of Jewish life in Israel and around the world. Through our

work, we are redefining the conversation about Judaism in modernity, religious pluralism, Israeli democracy, Israel and world Jewry, and the relationship with other faith communities.”

Hundreds of rabbis have participated in Hartman programs in Israel and satellite programs in the US and other countries, and their offerings have now expanded to provide leadership institutes and community forums, along with a growing list of publications. The Shalom Hartman institute, as a unique bridge across denominational lines, is literally creating a new post-denominational Judaism – one of the most exciting developments in Jewish life in our time. I encourage you to look them up and learn more about them on the Internet.

Donniel Hartman’s book raises this troubling question: “Why is it,” he asks, “that there is an intrinsic association between the wars we fight and the will of God? He notes that the countless denominations and affiliations of Judaism, Christianity and Islam have a distinct take on how life with the one God should be lived – and that as each entered the world stage, alongside their charge to love God and love humanity, they began to wage war with those who

preceded or followed them. As he puts it, “Wherever monotheism developed, it was accompanied by the belief that the one God could be truly represented or correctly understood by only one faith community. Love of God [he writes] was perceived to be a zero-sum game – the more one was loved, the less another could be.”

What is so frightening in our time, and the realization that led Hartman to write his book, is how religion seems increasingly to be allied with the forces of extremism in the world, including in his home country Israel.

Many books have been written about what religion gives to people. Hartman asks what religion does to people. Religion can fill our life with joy, awe and love; connect us to God’s power and grace, guidance and forgiveness. Yet religion fails when, in his words, it “emboldens individuals and governments to murder, maim, harm and control others in the service of ‘their’ God.” And Hartman, wondering that a life with God does not seem consistently to make people better, concludes that religion seems to have an “autoimmune” disease.

This intriguing volume, much worth reading, argues against a “pious humility” that can lead to moral blindness. It argues that a belief that only we are loved by God is arrogance – and leads to the antithesis of a life of faith. We learn that chosenness does not been receiving entitlements, but responsibility.

President’s Message

Saturday, September 17 Shabbat Morning Service

Saturday morning, September 17, Rabbi Stevens will lead a Shabbat morning service. Service will run

from 9:30 – 11:15 a.m. and include Torah study and a light brunch.

Change is often defined as the act or instance of making or becoming different. Twenty–two years ago, in 1994, Temple Beth Or was certainly experiencing change. For the first time in decades, we had a new Rabbi in Glen Jacobs following the retirement of David Baylinson and we had a new president in me. Following my tenure (and the brief time with Rabbi Jacobs), we have seen even more change at the Temple, including 5 women serving as president of the congregation for the first time in its history. We have had three Rabbis since then and are excited about Elliot Stevens beginning his 10th year as our spiritual leader. We have experienced the introduction of a new Sabbath prayer book and this year, during the High Holy Days, we will introduce new prayer books especially created for these most important rituals. We have had a cantorial student for the first time and now have congregational members singing from our bimah, contributing to our services with beautiful music.

But what else has changed? Today our congregation is about half the size it was 20 plus years ago. Our demographics are changing and the age of our congregants is rapidly rising. We have explored the possibility of merging the Temple with the synagogue and while those conversations have somewhat stalled, they are far from over.

There is one element that hasn’t changed and remains consistent today. Shabbat comes every week and I encourage all of you to come to services, even if just once a month. The strength of our community comes from our support for our Temple, and that comes not just from financial support, but more importantly from physical support. As our new congregational year begins, let us all take a moment to consider what we can do to make Temple Beth Or even the slightest bit stronger and more vibrant, and I believe our presence within our house of light will accomplish this goal.

L’CHAIM LEAGUE TO HOST BOOK DISCUSSION WITH RABBI STEVENS

Save the date: On Tuesday, September 13 Rabbi Stevens will lead a program on a fascinating, provocative new book, The Bible Doesn’t Say That: Biblical Mistranslations, Misconceptions, and Other Misunderstandings by author Joel Hoffman. The book has just been published.

Dr. Hoffman, a biblical scholar and prolific author [including many elegant translations in our own prayer book Mishkan T’filah], presents dozens of intriguing examples in his book, showing that many of our assumptions about biblical teachings are often based on misunderstanding.

Dr. Hoffman — who also authored In the Beginning and And God Said, is also the lead translator for the series My People’s Prayer Book, winner of the National Jewish Book Award. He will be speaking at Temple Beth Or on November 17 — making this L’Chaim League program a great introduction to his work.

The Bible Doesn’t Say That is available on Amazon for well under $20, even less on Kindle. Rabbi Stevens encourages (though doesn’t require!) those attending on September 13 to read the book in advance. The program will start with lunch at 11:30; Rabbi Stevens will speak at about noon.

Becky Taylor, Choir Director

In addition to her work at Temple Beth Or, Rebecca Barrineau Taylor (Becky) is the Director Music Ministries at Church of the Ascension, an Episcopal congregation with close ties to Temple Beth Or. In 2000, she earned a Master of Music Degree in Organ Performance and Choral Conducting at the University of Alabama, studying with Warren Hutton and Sandra Willetts. Her undergraduate degree is in Music Education from Florida State University.

Becky served as accompanist and, beginning in 2002, as the Artistic Director/Conductor of the Montgomery Chorale, retiring in 2014. Other musical and artistic involvement has been with numerous local arts and civic organizations. Becky is married to baritone Bill Taylor, who is a vital member of both the Temple Choir and the Ascension Choir, and she has a son, Patrick Padgett, who is a musician living in Denver, Colorado.

Nathan McKinney's Bar Mitzvah Project  

 

Nathan chose to help the Montgomery humane society as his mitzvah project. Since he was a small boy, Nathan has always loved animals. A few years ago, when our family adopted a cat from the shelter, Nathan was very troubled by the lack of warm blankets for some of the animals there.  

When we contacted the shelter, blankets and towels were high on their list of things needed. Nathan asks if you have any used blankets, towels or laundry detergent, that you would consider dona ng them in the box outside the office. Dona ons are also accepted and checks can be made out to the Montgomery Humane Society and le  in the dona on box 

Thank you.

THE FOUNDERS

RABBI’S SUMMER SERMON SERIES ON THE FOUNDERS OF JUDAISM

One could argue that a source of Judaism’s vitality is the extraordinarily broad spectrum of beliefs and practices through which Judaism expresses itself. These expressions – sometimes called “denominations” – might have emerged over time, yet each is identified with a particular visionary leader who encapsulated historic trends or staked out new territory, often with great courage and controversy. This year’s Summer Sermon Series will explore these leaders, how their work led to the formation of today’s Judaism, and the sustaining spiritual insights we can learn from each movement.

REPLENISHING OUR SPECIAL FUNDS

A Note from Rabbi Stevens

During my years at Temple Beth Or I have been proud of the many programs and services we have been able to offer – on a scale more commonly seen at congregations two and three times our size. We have been able to offer outstanding music, the latest liturgical materials, an ongoing program of visiting authors and occasional concerts and recitals, and a library that I am convinced is unequalled anywhere among smaller American Jewish congregations. We support kids going to Jewish camps – one of the very best ways of ensuring their Jewish pride and identity – and maintain reserve funds to maintain our building when the roof needs repair, the bathrooms need refurbishing or the a/c system needs replacement. We also have special funds for community outreach and support, especially in the areas of social action and social services.

Our membership pledges, nominal compared with many congregations, do not cover such expenses. Indeed, our operating budget is almost entirely devoted to maintaining our physical plant, our rabbi and our small support staff . Moreover Temple Beth Or does not ask new members for pledges to a Building Fund, nor have a public High Holy Day appeal. Our only real fund-raiser during the year is our annual Food Festival.

What we do have, however, is a great list of special funds. Most of these were created many years ago, secured through large donations. Thus the Rothschild-Blachschleger Library Fund maintains our fine Library including librarian services, and the Rothschild-Blachschleger Lecture and Culture Fund enables us to provide visiting authors and cultural events. The Blanche Winter Memorial Fund supports our religious school (including teacher training) while the Lucien Loeb Fund provides programming for seniors through the L’Chaim League.

Many of these funds have received only very minimal donations in recent years. Several are so depleted as to be close to dissolution. It has been years since any new endowed fund has been created.

In addition to what we hope will be our members’ ongoing support of our general TBO Endowment Fund, therefore, we invite and encourage our members to review our special funds and make a generous contribution. Contributions will (unless anonymous) by acknowledged in the Bulletin, including gifts to honor or memorialize someone.

This year, before the High Holy Days, we will be circulating pledge/gift envelopes by mail. A list of funds will be included. Please do be generous.

If you would like to discuss funding a particular program or service of your Temple, or arranging a bequest, or perhaps creating a new, named Fund for a special purpose, please call me, or our president John Ives, to get the ball rolling.

Many thanks in advance.

If you have accumulated unused Temple Beth Or

donation envelopes please feel free to drop them off at the Temple office so they may be

reused.

We would like to know. Please call the temple office when a family member is in the hospital or ailing. Too often we find out about illnesses, crises and hospitalizations long after they occur. This is a missed opportunity for the calls and visits the rabbi would like to share. Please let the temple know if there is a

concern in your family or another congregation family (with their permission). We need your help in order to offer ours.
