RABBI’S REFLECTIONSMy, how fast the time has flown.

Twelve years ago, I wrote the following words in the Shaar bulletin:

“Aviya Scheier, the newest member of the Shaar Hashomayim community, has been received in our family and community with great warmth and excitement. I am certain that the foundation of ahava that has been established will serve her well for many years to come…”

Now, as we prepare to celebrate Aviya’s Bat Mitzvah, I reflect on the excitement of that moment in our family’s life twelve years ago, marvel how quickly the time has passed, and reflect on how substantially our lives have evolved in that time.

I am also brought back to words of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel that I quoted in that article, from his beautiful piece, “I Am a Father”:

“I am a father. I have a daughter and I love her dearly. I would like my daughter to obey the commandments of the Torah; I would like her to revere me as her father. And so I ask myself the question over and over again: “What is there about me that deserves the reverence of my daughter?”

Those reflective ambitions borne by the birth of my newborn have deepened over the years. The passage of time allows for some truths to be absorbed, and for ideas and understandings to develop.

This is the approach of the Kotzker Rebbe (19th Century, Poland), in his comment on the words of the Shema (Dt 11:18): “You shall place these words of Mine upon your heart…” The Rebbe asked, why “upon your heart”? Should the verse read, “in your heart.”

He answered that this choice of language reflects the challenge of an educator or a parent. Sometimes, the heart of a child or student is not ready to absorb a lesson. The Torah’s advice, then, is to place the words upon the heart. Keep presenting the vision, continue to express the values. Eventually, the heart will absorb those words.

Thoughtfulness often takes time. What one understands about life twelve years ago might very well differ from one’s understandings today.

This idea is also beautifully articulated by the scholar Adam Grant, as he argues in favour of procrastination. Grant claims that reflective time allows for deeper understanding. He makes this argument as it pertains to procrastination. The more one procrastinates, the more original and creative thinking can be produced. He discusses a study in which “a professor at the University of Wisconsin designed some experiments. She asked people to come up with new business ideas. Some were randomly assigned to start right away. Others were given five minutes to first play Minesweeper or Solitaire. Everyone submitted their ideas, and independent raters rated how original they were. The procrastinators’ ideas were 28 percent more creative.” (New York Times, January 16, 2016, “Why I Taught Myself to Procrastinate”)

This is not to promote the value of video games; rather, it emphasizes that the passage of time can allow ideas to develop; creativity and great ideals are rarely formed from a momentary revelation.

In that bulletin article in which I welcome our eldest daughter, I also referenced the upcoming birth of something else entirely: a new adult education program. I wrote, “We are planning an exciting new Adult Education initiative for this coming fall, on Tuesday evenings. I hope the entire congregation will partake in the great classes and educational resources of Congregation Shaar Hashomayim.” This program, of course, became Tuesday Night Learning, one of the great successes of our congregation’s programming cycle.

On a communal note, it is similarly remarkable to observe the journey of this congregation over the past number of years. We have climbed great heights, and we’ll continue to climb. It would have been impossible for us to get here overnight, but with patience, mazal, and hard work we take pride in where we are, and gain momentum to gain greater heights in the months and years ahead.

And, while looking back and thinking forward, let us not forget to enjoy the moment. That appreciation for “now” is what I’ll try to experience on the day of my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, even as I wonder how we arrived here so fast and anticipate the blessings the future will bring.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE As I write this message, we find ourselves still in

the very cold months of winter, yet the warmth one finds at the Shaar is palpable at every turn.

On any given day, there are a multitude of activities and programs in session for every age group - from Foundation School children learning their colours “en français” as they walk through our corridors viewing the art on the walls, to our seniors enjoying the Open Gate social program and attending weekly without fail, despite the

harsh weather. The camaraderie and sense of purpose that emanates from the laughter that one hears as the volunteers and committees prepare for the Mishloach Manot Purim baskets and special Shabbatot is truly inspiring. Peer into the various social halls and one can find everything from Torah learning to Meals-on-Wheels preparation to the ever-popular weekly Bridge game that consistently attracts a multitude of players. Wednesday evenings are filled with the excitement and energy of the NCSY teen programming, the beautiful sounds of our Cantor and choir rehearsing, all going on simultaneously and seamlessly. What is less visible to the naked eye is the hard work and dedication of clergy, professional staff and lay leaders whose energy and devotion to our shul is inspiring, as they continue to reach out to the community at large which allows us to solidify our membership and encourage others to become part of the growing Shaar family.

Nous pouvons nous estimer très chanceux d'avoir une équipe du clergé tellement dévouée et talentueuse qui continue de mettre en œuvre de nouvelles approches novatrices pour rendre notre synagogue si chaleureuse et si accueillante. Nous pouvons aussi toujours compter sur notre groupe de gestion pour son dévouement et son engagement envers notre vision et notre succès.

Our congregational home is entering the next phase of renovations with the emphasis on accessibility and functionality of our facility for all members. As we reflect on the current needs and planning for the next generation, our core objective is to guarantee that the physical upgrades and revitalization to the building will be carried out in a manner which will ensure that we preserve and maintain the majesty and history of a building that we are all so proud of. The design concept for the daily Chapel and upper main lobby are currently in progress and many focus groups have already met to provide their insights. As we move towards the design development phase, the Congregation at large will be invited to share in the vision in the months to come.

These are exciting times for our beloved Shaar Hashomayim. Our foundation is solid as a result of the vision of many generations of leadership that we have been so fortunate to have guiding our shul. It is our responsibility to continue to build not only the physical, but also to enrich the spiritual growth that will resonate with future generations of members and enhance Jewish life for our community for years to come.

May the warmth of the spring season allow us to appreciate how far we have come as a congregation and inspire us to engage the resources of our synagogue to continue to make our Shaar Hashomayim the epicenter of Jewish life for our members and for all who want to become part of our family.

Claire Berger Fagen

THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERSThank you to the many volunteers who are dedicated to making the Shaar a wonderful place. Your time, energy, input, creativity, expertise, and many other contributions are invaluable. Whether you greet congregants on Shabbat, usher on the High Holy Days, serve on leadership, sit on a

committee, or help organize a program or event, you are part of a team that brings vitality, joy and meaning to synagogue life.

One of the most astounding teachings about the Passover Seder is offered with regards to the Mah Nishtanah, the Four Questions. We may think of the Mah Nishtanah as a chance to engage young children in the retelling of the Passover story. These are the questions that help us convey the lessons of the Exodus to the future generations. However, the Talmud (Pesachim 116a) insists that even if no children are present at the table, the Four Questions are still asked by a spouse or

another adult. And, says the Talmud, if there is no one else who can recite the Mah Nishtana, than an individual must ask the questions of himself or herself.

Questions lie at the core of the Passover ritual. Questions are what take

the narrative of our people and turn it into a conversation. To ask a question is to show ownership of the material being discussed, and to demonstrate a sense of concern. To pose a question is to turn from a passive observer into an active participant.

Questions are not just for kids. If we take this lesson about the Four Questions quite literally, it is a reminder that we must all be asking questions of ourselves. What are the questions you ponder in your own heart, when nobody else is around to hear? What explorations might each of us make into our own internal sense of Judaism?

We can begin, perhaps, by asking ourselves some fundamental Jewish questions: What Jewish practice is most meaningful to me? Why is Judaism important in my life? What does Judaism call on me to do? What relationship most pushes me to be a better person?

In the season of Mah Nishtanah, let’s ask the questions that only we

can ask of ourselves. Let’s turn from passive consumers of Judaism to active creators of our own Jewish journeys. Sometimes, it is the questions that are more important than the answers.

TORAH CLASSES

My family and I would like to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, all the colleagues, friends and relatives who made the arrival of our new son, Raphaël Paul, such a wonderful and joyous occasion. We are truly blessed.It’s been an active return from the Choir’s well-deserved winter break, and we took advantage of the season, while services were in the Chapel, to prepare for some exciting performances.

Back on November 6, the Choir was privileged and honoured to perform two songs at the Bell Centre for the star-studded concert Tower of Song: a Memorial Tribute to Leonard Cohen. The thrill of performing at such an important event, televised across Canada (and via the internet to the entire world) was something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. On January 27, we had a magnificent Shabbat Shirah, with Musaf enhanced by the debuts of several new pieces by a favourite composer of the congregation, Cantor Meir Finkelstein. We have just returned from New York where we paid a much-anticipated Shabbat visit to The Jewish Center and our great and talented friend, Cantor Chaim-Dovid Berson, who had been longing for a visit from us for quite some time. The Choir, Cantor Zelermyer and Cantor Berson sang at both Kabbalat Shabbat and Shabbat morning services, and provided

a fine example of the quality of music which Shaar congregants enjoy every week. The overflowing crowd at The Jewish Center was enthralled at hearing such a high caliber of choral performance.We will be paying a return visit to NYC in mid-March to perform at a gala dinner honouring Rabba Abby and Rabbi Adam Scheier by his alma mater, Yeshivat Chovevei Torah. We are very excited and thankful to be participating at this important tribute, and honoured that they asked Cantor Zelermyer and the Choir to take part in at such an auspicious occasion. The music department is in a constant state of growth. We are never satisfied with the status quo, always progressing, adding new repertoire, striving to improve, setting our goals higher. We believe that prayer should be a joyous and meaningful event, and we believe music helps achieve that end. It is to these goals that the Shaar music Department is dedicated.2018 promises to be another great year. Stay tuned for news of the exciting musical events to come!

Roï AzoulayMusic Director

By the time this publication reaches your homes, pitchers and catchers will have reported to spring training (sadly, there won’t be any playoff hockey downtown this year). Hopefully the climate will follow suit and as the days get longer and temperatures get warmer, our thoughts will turn to the vernal holiday of Pesach.

The Haggadah’s formula for the story of Passover mirrors the seasonal progression from winter to

spring: “From slavery to freedom, from sorrow to joy, from mourning to a festival, from darkness to great light, and from servitude to redemption.” After months of little daylight, oppressive weather, and conditions conducive to seasonal depression, we enter a period of rebirth, light, colour and warmth.The liturgy that marks the seasonal transitions echoes these feelings as well. T’filat Geshem, the Prayer for Rain that is said on Sh’mini Atzeret, is quite a foreboding text. Rain was of paramount importance to our ancestors’ agrarian society, and the prospect of its paucity brought

spiritual grey clouds. “Turn to us, for troubles engulf our souls like water,” implores T’filat Geshem.Contrast this with the buoyant optimism of T’filat Tal, the Prayer for Dew, that we sing on the first day of Chag ha’Aviv, the Spring Holiday, Passover: “Sweetly we will raise our voices and sing with dew.” The change of season raises our spirits, and our thermometers.Musically, our repertoire perfectly reflects these leitmotifs. Geshem’s pleading for healthy rains to refresh the land gives way to the celebration of springtime that is Tal. And the seasonal transition is marked by a haunting melody for Kaddish that is only sung when these prayers are recited.So this year, on the first day of Passover (Saturday, March 31), try to rouse yourself from your post-Seder stupor and straggle into the Shaar by 11:00 AM to hear T’filat Tal and the special twice-per-year Kaddish that precedes it. Let our music help you Spring ahead!

AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO...

Last week we started reading the second book of the Torah, Sefer Shemot. Sefer Shemot, literally meaning The Book of Names, opens with a genealogical recount of the household of Jacob.

Those that spend the better part of the winter in Montreal, and especially after enduring the brutal cold of the past few weeks, are certainly counting down the days when spring and warmer days return. Snowbirds also count the days when they

head back to the comfort of their home and bask in the glorious warm months of Montreal.

The act of counting plays a major role in our calendar and in our lives. It more than just gives us something to do, it anchors us and gives us an indication of where we are situated calendrically. It perhaps gives us a hope, as we yearn in anticipation for something to arrive.

From Pessach, we are commanded to count seven full weeks until we reach the Holiday of Shavuot. This period of counting the Omer acts as a bridge connecting time points. All the while, we are reminded that something great is coming up.

However, the act of counting is just that, an act, unless we make it count. Each day is an important gift that we are given, and must make the most of it. To count without making it count is a wasted opportunity. At the Shaar, we continue to build upon the services and broaden the scope of our programming to enrich the experience for those that partake in them.

Part of making it count requires you to get involved in some aspect and leave your footprint on The Shaar and by extension, the community.

We are all working hard every day to make the Daily Minyanim grow. Every person who attends brings their own spark and personal touch, to help make the "fire" inside them grow. We would love to continue to celebrate milestones and special occasions with you and your family. The buzz of activities energizes us, encourages us, and reinforces the notion that we are building something great here.

So I urge you to be a partner. Do your part and make sure you decide to make today count!

THE RITE STUFF

Dear Friends,

I invite you to participate in one of our tradition’s wonderful opportunities to help others. A number of times on the Jewish calendar our tradition calls upon us to offer support and help to those in financial need. Each year, I am reminded of this need, as individuals and organizations approach our synagogue for support. The complex life stories, the unfortunate turns in mazal, and the need for legitimate Jewish chesed are parts of the everyday experiences of many in our community.In this vein, please consider donating to the Congregation Shaar Hashomayim Passover Fund. With your participation, we are able to help many in our own community experience the warmth, the spirit, and the fulfillment that every Jew deserves, regardless of their financial standing. Best wishes for a chag kasher v’samei'ach.

Sincerely, Rabbi Adam Scheier

Fundamental to Foundation School’s mission and philosophy of education is that all children are good, all children are smart and all children have a valuable contribution to make to the community. Our partnership – a community of home, school and synagogue working together- ensures that each child receives the best possible preschool experience. This partnership is based on the mutual respect of all partners and supports each child as he or she grows emotionally, socially, cognitively and physically. Because of this, each child is confident to learn about his or her world through play, experimentation and creativity in his or her own way and time. And, of course, a big dose of love never hurts!
