Mt. Zion’s memorable and enjoyable Centennial Celebration succeeded because of the efforts of many people. Almost every member of Mt. Zion’s Congregation participated in one or many of our weekend events and the results were astounding. The pictures, posters, meals were wonderful and exceeded all expectations. Thank you all for attending and supporting Mt. Zion in this time of celebration. And thank you for doing so much more than attending. A few people deserve special mention for their help in planning our events as well as for their meaningful participation. Our terrific Champagne Oneg would not have occurred without the fine efforts of our Oneg Committee, chaired by Marty Davidsohn. She was aided by her committee consisting of Juliette Weinstein, Matilda Oppenheimer and Carin Rosinsky. Matilda also originated the idea for a game night on Saturday evening and effectively coordinated that evening’s activities. Jacob and Tovia Forstein oversaw the recording of our Shabbat service. Thank you Jan Forstein for ensuring that Torah Study could accommodate so many additional participants. Jen Dreiske coordinated Saturday’s wonderful lunch. Furthermore, Stephen Rosenthal helped secure the official governmental proclamations recognizing Mt. Zion’s century of Jewish presence and practice. The Sunday Open House was headed by the dynamic duo of Royce Hansman and Raleigh Hansman Woodworth and they were aided and abetted by Richard Klein, DaNiel Wood and Jan Forstein. Our events were publicized by an amazing Marketing Committee chaired by Sara Crosby and included social media whizzes Steph Wood and Carol Rosenthal (and who knew that Steph led a secret life as a professional photographer). Carol also led us in a meaningful Havdalah service Saturday evening for which we are grateful. Finally, Robert Hurwitz also deserves a special measure of thanks, both for suggesting and then for his willingness to lead our memorial service on Sunday morning. To each of you, thank you. And to anyone we may not have mentioned specifically, and therefore inadvertently left out, apologies and thank you as well. All of you who participated made a positive difference and each one of you made our wonderful weekend both possible and meaningful. Gratefully, Bernice and Peter Schotten Thank you to Bernice and Peter Schotten for their leadership in creating the wonderful weekend commemorating Mt. Zion Congregation’s Centennial (1919 - 2019). Everyone who participated enjoyed every moment of the weekend because every moment from the earliest planning to the worship to the study to the games to the conversations to washing the last dish was motivated by respect for Mt. Zion Congregation’s history, love for this community and hope for our future. Thank you to Bernice and to Rabbi Max Weiss for planning out the beautiful Friday evening service that launched our celebration. It was perfect! For those of you who would like to relive some of the weekend’s special moments and for those of you who missed some of them and want to experience them, there are photographs and a video of Friday evening services available for your viewing pleasure on the MZ100 Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/mz100.org/ We welcome your comments on our Facebook page.

From Student Rabbi Jonathan Falco

In this month of October 2019, we enter into the Hebrew month of Tishri. Tishri is a time of refl ection, penitence, and renewal as we usher into the High Holiday season. One of the most well-known of all piyyutim (liturgical poems) that occurs during the High Holy Days is Un’taneh Tokef, which is recited on Rosh Hashanah. The poem is laden with signifi cance and has a rich history. As such, I would like to spotlight a few aspects of the piece in honor of this introspective period.

Un’taneh Tokef was written in the Land of Israel in the Byzantine period sometime between the 4th and 6th centuries, though the precise date remains unknown. The piyyut depicts a mythic picture of Rosh Hashanah as Day of Judgment. From both a literary and performative perspective, this is a very vivid and highly dramatic poem. It begins by invoking the awesome nature of the day and God seated on throne of judgment, bearing witness: writing, sealing, and counting. The Book of Judgment (a record of all deeds) is opened and everyone’s deeds are sealed in the Book.

By all means, this is a frightening text – it says that God judges us. The Truth judges us, but since that Truth is God, we can believe the judgment will be done with love. Rabbi Richard

N. Levy writes about the poem that, “if we do the month-long self-refl ective work in Elul [the month leading up to the High Holidays], this poem comes alive, allowing us to go in with a sense of confi dence, fear, and ‘rushing adrenaline’ similar to the rushing angels,” alluded to in the poem’s second stanza.

The piyyut also describes a litany of ways in which a person may live or die in the coming year. The text leaves us with a sense that God brings on these conditions as part of God’s judgment. While some may fi nd this theology disconcerting, the text pushes us to see that God is present during both the struggles in life as well as the points of rest.

As we move through the start of Tishri – the refl ective fi rst-month of the new year 5780 – may we be comforted by taking part in the liturgical recitations of our ancestors viewed through our own modern lens, as we understand the words today.

L’shana tova u’metukah – to a good and sweet new year!

From the Congregation President...DaNiel Wood

Shalom,

I’ll jump straight in and say that I hope many of you attended and enjoyed our Centennial Celebration. It was the culmination of dedication, time and hard work of many individuals who made it possible. We are a volunteer organization and the only rewards people get are the personal satisfaction of having helped, and a few kind words of thanks – so please remember to thank those who were involved. We should also acknowledge the support from the Masons of several Sioux Falls Lodges, who once again assisted us by providing a welcome to guests at our doors, and peace of mind knowing they were standing guard as security.

We are quickly approaching the High Holy Days beginning with the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah and culminating in our holiest of days, Yom Kippur. Our entire schedule is listed in this edition of the Tidings, and I sincerely hope you will join us. The week after Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot begins. We will also be having our annual Sukkot service, which is typically a lighter and more festive event.

This month we are fi lled with signifi cant Jewish holidays and celebrations. From the light-hearted Rosh Hashanah, to the deeply spiritual and meaningful Yom Kippur, and the festive week of Sukkot. Please join us for any or all of these events. We welcome your presence and fellowship!

Shalom berakhah ve-tovah,DaNielAri’el Sfarád

Thank you to all who have so promptly sent their Sisterhood Dues and or Uniongram subscription payments! We appreciate your support!

Sisterhood dues are divided among the National Women of Reform Judaism offi ce, the Midwest District Women of Reform Judaism offi ce and our local Sisterhood chapter. Locally, Sisterhood maintains the Temple’s kitchen, assists with Onegs and Seders, operates the Gift Shop and runs the Uniongram program. Sisterhood members assist the Congregation with programming as well as provide fi nancial support to the community. Annual dues are $25.00 per year and new members are always welcome. If you wish to join Sisterhood, please contact Matilda Oppenheimer (332-8404).

UNIONGRAMSA long-standing and lovely tradition in our community is for the Sisterhood to issue a Uniongram commemorating major life events (for example, celebration of Bat/Bar Mitzvah; milestone birthdays and anniversaries; weddings) and to express condolences upon the loss of a loved one. We try very hard to track these events and ensure that the certifi cates are issued in a timely manner. Please HELP US by contacting Margo or Matilda when you are aware of a Uniongram-worthy signifi cant event. We would prefer to be informed multiple times about such an occasion than overlook one because we were not made aware of it! We appreciate your input!!!

Uniongram subscriptions are $18.00 per year per household (one payment covers all signers from same household). Sisterhood membership is not required to participate in this program. As a subscriber, your name(s) will be included on the list of signatories when a Uniongram is sent to a member of the community. If you wish to add your name to our list, please contact Margo Olson (371-2020).

GIFT SHOPWe have Kiddush cups, candlesticks, greeting cards, jewelry, prayer books and so much more! We will soon be stocking up for CHANUKAH. Please try to give us any special order requests by October 20th. The fi rst candle of Chanukah will be lit on Sunday, December 22nd. We will publicize our Chanukah sale hours in the November issue of the Tidings.

Please call us for an appointment to browse and/or to make a purchase! We also welcome special requests.

Gift Shop Co-Chairs: Judy Lampert (339-3170) and Matilda Oppenheimer (332-8404)

South Dakotans Publish BooksAbout the Jewish Experience in SD

Eric Steven Zimmer’s The Question is “Why?” tells Stanford Adelstein’s story of family, faith, business, politics, and philanthropy. It provides new perspectives on recent American and world history and on the lives of Jewish people in rural places. And, arriving when many Americans are questioning our democracy’s durability, it inspires all who hope to improve their communities, their country, and the world.

Deadwood’s Jewish Pioneers; A Gold Rush Odysseyby Anne Stanton, based on original research, takes an extensive look at the background, and presents some of the Jewish personalities who helped stabilize and develop this frontier. Framed as an historical journey, with much original material drawn from newspaper accounts, and illuminated by historical photographs, this book is fi lled with absorbing stories that bring the pioneering Jews of the Black Hills Gold Rush to life. Their stories should not be allowed to vanish into the ether.

Sympathy Wishes to the

Oppenheimer family - Mark,

Matilda, Erika, and Josh and

Elizabeth - on the passing of

their mother and grandmother,

Ann Oppenheimer. May Ann’s

memory be forever a blessing.
