At Shabbat services on Friday, November 2, our community will install Randall Schloss as our new cantor. In this ceremony, we will officially welcome Cantor Schloss as a permanent member of the Temple Ohabei Shalom clergy. Many rabbis and cantors feel a bit uncomfortable with the term “installation.” It makes us feel like appliances. And, indeed, the concept of an installation is one that has come into the Jewish world from our secular and Christian neighbors. In Eastern Europe, there was no special ceremony. A cantor would be presented with a ktav chazzanut, a Cantorial contract signed by all the leaders of the community. Yet, even if the roots of installation are not deeply Jewish, there is a reason this ceremony has caught hold with synagogues today. It is appropriate to mark with ritual the arrival at this Temple of a new cantor, and to see how we can help him fulfill his various roles; how we can all sign his virtual ktav chazzanut. A cantor is called by various terms in Jewish tradition. He is known as chazzan, a term which literally means “overseer.” It comes from the Hebrew word meaning “vision.” Cantor Schloss has a vision for this congregation, and it behooves us to work with him, to add our own vision to his, to further our community. A cantor is also known as shaliakh tzibbur, the representative of the community. Although, as Cantor Schloss explains elsewhere in

these pages, some of the technical requirements that this title entails have changed over time, the ultimate validity of the title remains. A cantor must listen to and stand for what is best in his community. Sometimes, that will mean that he will have to push the community to stand for what it can be at its best, not what it wants to be at the moment. On those occasions, especially, it is important for the community to give him its most serious attention. Cantors, like a rabbis, are also referred to as klei kodesh, holy vessels. Our cantor’s work is not only with this community, with the community of Jews and the larger world community – his work is with God. This congregation can help him by supporting him not only in his actions with this synagogue, but in his spiritual quest. This, in turn, will help him support you in yours. I am pleased and honored to welcome Cantor Schloss as a colleague. I hope that you will join us on November 2 to welcome him, officially, as your Cantor.

One of the most memorable pieces of High Holiday liturgy is Sh’ma Koleinu. Not only do we pray fervently over matters of life and death, but we preface these prayers with statements such as Sh’ma Koleinu. If we are to earnestly examine our own shortcomings, confess our sins and pray for renewal in the year to come, we plead that God will hear these prayers: Sh’ma Koleinu. Hear our voice, Adonai our God; have compassion on us, and with that compassion accept our prayer. Historically, it was the Cantor’s duty to speak, or sing, on behalf of the community. It might seem strange that an individual would say, “Hear our voice,” but this is the traditional role of the Cantor. Through beautiful music and a higher level of vocal expression, the Cantor’s voice might be better suited to reaching the ears of God. However this is not always the case in modern Judaism. The Cantor ought to be able to express what an individual member of the community

Sh’ma Koleinu: Hear Our Voice. Cantor Randall Schloss

AN INVITATION TO REGULAR SHABBAT TORAH STUDY

In Pirkei Avot, “Chapters of Our Ancestors,” Shammai teaches, “Make your study of Torah a fixed duty.” What he means is that we should study the Torah at regular periods. Here at Temple Ohabei Shalom, we have been listening to Shammai. We have decided to set a time for Torah study so that you know, week in and week out, that it will be there waiting for you, if you would like to pursue it.

We now hold Torah study each Saturday morning at 9:00, each and every week, at least through the end of June. Please come join us !

can not, but the opposite is also true. The Cantor can not express what the community can express themselves. In the modern synagogue, and certainly in our synagogue, the voice of the Cantor and the voices of our community both have equally important roles to play. But the task raising our voices does not end with the final shofar blast on Yom Kippur. My task continues into the weeks and months to come and yours does as well. In all of our worship, it is of the utmost importance that the congregation not see themselves as an “audience.” There are times when Cantor or choir will be singing and hopefully engaging the congregation in active prayer. But there are also times when we need to hear literally all of our voices. Please sing! Another way to ensure that God and the community hear our voice is by joining one of our choirs. You may have heard the sweet voices of our children as Mahkelah enriched our services for Kol Nidrei. Or if you attended S’likhot, you heard our beautiful adult choir, sixteen voices strong. While making beautiful music is a top priority for me, to do so with the voices of our community is especially meaningful. Both of these groups will participate in worship services and other events throughout the year. Whether you join one of our choirs, sing aloud in the congregation, or express your own thoughts and prayers through the music that you hear, I pray Sh’ma Koleinu: Hear our voice.

Special Thanks to: Ellen Mosner Marilyn Goldstein Edward and Marjorie Kahn

Important!

Please note the new Saturday morning Shabbat Service time: 10:30 a.m.

A congregant recently spoke with me about a feeling of being somewhat disconnected from our synagogue. I felt particularly well-suited to address the issue because, believe it or not, it was not too long ago that I had also felt a bit disconnected from our community. When we discussed the various options of involvement a bit, it soon became apparent that there were areas of activity at TOS that the congregant had not explored. The conversation was a positive one, and concluded with a connection that I helped foster and a commitment on the part of the congregant to check out some of the many activities that we offer here.

What struck me is that, while many of us are involved, there are many who have not become involved. For some, that is just fine. For others, there is a wish to become better connected. If you fall into the latter category, I think that I can help. First of all, we welcome involvement of our congregants in every aspect of synagogue life. And if we do not offer what you are looking for, we would be happy to discuss what you may be missing and see if it is something that we can address. Second, please take the time to look through the many offerings that we have. For some, our services are what attracts people most. For others, it is the school and its activities. We are proud to have an abundance of adult education opportunities, social action initiatives, community connections, brotherhood and sisterhood programs involving social opportunities and an assortment of other options. In short, there is something for just about everybody. And if you have something that you would like to see offered, but isn’t, please let us know.

Some of the responsibility for making opportunities for connection is ours, and some of it is yours. We are trying to make the connections within our community easier and stronger. Our congregants are some of the nicest people that I have ever met and gotten to know. Take the opportunity to get to know more of your fellow congregants and I’m sure that you will find this to be true.

The purpose of Fund for Lifelong Learning’s Schol-arship Program is to promote participation by Temple Oha-bei Shalom membership and staff of all ages in programs that foster Jewish education and involvement through financial awards from the funds established for such purposes. This summer several ARS students & graduates received both merit and financial need scholarships to attended summer programs in Israel. Here is some of what they had to say about their experiences:

“I enjoyed visiting the Western Wall and feeling the most Jewish I’ve ever felt in my entire life. When I saw every-thing in Hebrew and saw hundreds of Jewish people all around me when walking in the streets of Tel Aviv and Jeru-salem, it truly felt like it was like a home away from home. I would do it all over again if I could. Thank you for helping me have the greatest time of my life.”

“Thank you all very much for allowing me to experi-ence Israel. Very few people are fortunate enough to be able to visit such a historic and religiously significant place as Is-rael, so I am extremely thankful for being given the chance. Although we had to return home a little early, due to the conflict with Lebanon, this trip was easily the most amazing trip of my life. There is no way to fully describe not only the amazing things our group did during our time in Israel, but also what they have meant to me as a Jewish teenager living in 21st century America. This trip opened my eyes to many

different things and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

“There are an infinite number of amazing things I learned and experienced during my trip to Israel. I have re-turned home more knowledgeable about the Middle East, having seen and experienced Israel first hand, and most im-portantly with a better understanding and a new found love for the history of my religion. Since returning from Israel all I have been able to think about is when I can go back again.”

“When we had been in Haifa about a week and the first rockets hit there, we left the city late at night and went to Jerusalem. I was pretty scared when we found out what had happened, but then I realized that the Israelis in my group have to live with things like this happening all the time. That doesn’t make what happens any less sad or scary, but Israelis just take it as a fact that bad things happen in Israel. They call home to make sure everything is okay, and then go on living their lives. I truly saw this when we got to Jerusalem at three in the morning. When we got off the bus, all of the Israelis started singing a song about Jerusalem at the top of their lungs. A few hours later, we were standing at the Kotel, the Western Wall, a place where Jews from all over the world have been coming for thousands of years. I saw this as a sign of hope - that even though bad things happen in Israel, this place will always be here for Jews.”
