100 Blessings a Day Rabbi John Franken

diversity. It makes us a richer, stronger, and, not least, a more interesting community. I particularly wish to invite you to celebrate with our entire community at Shabbat services on November 13 as we welcome Emily Fuchs into the Jewish people and (formally) into our congregation. Emily is one of several conversion students with whom I am working, and anyone interested in doing the same is most welcome to contact me!

The President of the Union Reform

Judaism, Rabbi Eric Yoffie, once said: “If there is anything at all that Reform Jews do, it is to create an inclusive spiritual home for all those who seek the solace of our sanctuaries. And if this Movement does not extend support to all . . . then we have no right to call ourselves Reform Jews.” For all of us equally are entitled to recite the blessing: Baruch Ata Adonai Eloheinu Melech Ha’Olam She’asani b’Tzalmo. Praised are You O Eternal our God, Master of the Universe, Who has made me in Your image.”

The American Jewish family is no longer invariably white, Ashkenazi, and married with two or three kids and a stay-at-home mom. Within just one or two generations, the sociology of American Jewry has been transformed to the point that today we see working mothers, biracial couples, b’nai mitzvah of African, Hispanic or Asian ancestry, gay and lesbian couples, intermarried couples, and many Jews by choice.

This is as it should be. Diversity among us is

almost as old a phenomenon as uniformity. The Torah teaches that even when we left Egypt, we did so as an “erev rav – a mixed multitude” which consisted of different races, cultures and nationalities marching together. Moses himself was married to a dark-skinned, Cushite woman. The acceptance into Jewish life of those who come from backgrounds different from our own is therefore, I would suggest, nothing less than a religious obligation.

Even so, it is all too easy to fall into the trap of judging others according to old stereotypes and subjective standards. All too easily we can forget that many of our opinions merely reflect tastes and conditioning which we acquired over time. We forget that those attitudes can fool us into treating them as objective truths. Sometimes the results are innocuous. Other times they can cause pain.

Once Rabbi Elazar set off on a journey and came upon a man who greeted him. The rabbi replied, “How ugly you are! Is everyone in this town as ugly as you?” The man thought for a moment and answered, “I do not know, but go and tell the Craftsman who created me.” Deeply ashamed, the rabbi got off his donkey and bowed low seeking forgiveness. (Talmud, Ta’anit 20a-b.)

Rabbi Elazar’s example should be a lesson for all of us, individually and as a community. Even as we at Temple Ohabei Shalom take justifiable pride in being an open, warm, inclusive and welcoming community, so let us always embrace each other and celebrate our

Progressive in attitude yet traditional in practice, Temple Ohabei Shalom is an inclusive Reform Jewish community committed to nurturing, sustaining, and touching Jewish lives through joyful worship, life

long-learning, and repair of the world in word and deed.

Worship

Cantor Randall Schloss

One of the most beautiful aspects of Judaism for me is its wealth of tradition. Despite the oft-heard request to sing the “traditional” tune for a given piece of liturgy, there is no such thing. Due to the worldwide, thousands-of-years-old Jewish experience, our ritual traditions are rich and varied. And in no synagogue is this diversity more evident than here at Temple Ohabei Shalom. Our newly adopted mission statement reads: Progressive in attitude yet traditional in practice, Temple Ohabei Shalom is an inclusive Reform Jewish community committed to nurturing, sustaining, and touching Jewish lives through joyful worship, life long learning, and repair of the world in word and deed. How better to express the apparent paradox of “progressive” and “traditional” than through contemporary experiences that draw on myriad traditions.

And our liturgy and rituals are themselves drawn from combinations of experiences. The Jewish year moves from liturgical remnants of Temple sacrifice, to festivals recognizing the natural world in which we live and its agricultural bounty, to services of repentance and reflection. None of these modes of worship is more particularly “traditional” or authentic than another. Similarly, when I present music for worship, I try to incorporate many versions of what might be termed “traditional” as well as “progressive” elements. I mix the meditative with the celebratory and the inspirational, the new with the old, and the East with the West. Musical selections during a worship service can be a little bit like what people say about the weather here in Boston: Wait five minutes… it will change.

I encourage all of you, in this New Year 5770, to try to broaden your Jewish experience. If you are one who comes to services as an observer or a more passive participant, try singing along and join in the creation of our community experience. If you are one who loves to sing along, try simply listening every now and then; our ears and brains can be as powerful as our voices. If you are primarily involved in our community through committees or volunteerism, try adding worship services or educational opportunities to your Synagogue experience. Or if you are mostly a regular service attendee, join a committee or volunteer. Your synagogue needs you in many ways.

In this New Year, may we all enjoy and be fulfilled by the tapestry of experiences that our traditions and our synagogue can offer.

This program is open to the entire community however reservations are required to attend the dinner reception which will immediately follow the Installation Ceremony. Please RSVP by Thursday, October 8, 2009, by either calling Jerry at 617-731-5736, or by emailing brotherhood@ohabei.org.

Our November event will take place on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, at 6:30 PM. This is a Annual Sisterhood Pot Luck Supper and Movie Night with Brotherhood. The Sisterhood will bring main courses. The Brotherhood will bring dessert and popcorn. The movie is titled Arranged, and concerns arranged marriages.

The following is an open letter to all the Men of the Congregation, our current and past brothers and the Jewish men of the Greater Boston Community from Howard Koor, VP of Membership:

I am writing you to consider getting involved with our Brotherhood, which is the Men’s Club at Temple Ohabei Shalom.

We have monthly meetings, usually with a guest speaker, dinner is served and there is time to schmooze. I have been in the Brotherhood about 10 years and it has enriched my life and connection to our Temple immensely. I know people that I did not know before and just as importantly, they know me.

I enjoy our meetings. I get to see old friends and meet new ones. I don't have to impress anyone with my job title or business success. I just get to relate to people that I truly enjoy spending time with.

In addition to an increased connection to our Temple, being in the Brotherhood helps serve the greater good of Ohabei Shalom. Our annual Breakfast with the Brothers is a big hit and raises funds we contribute back to the Temple.

I know many of you are involved with various Ohabei Shalom activities now, but I encourage you to give us a chance this year and see if your participation enhances your life as it has mine.

Please feel free to call Howard at 617-257-3868 for more information.

As always, the Brotherhood wishes to thank everyone who has remembered to bring in or mail in there stamped Butcherie receipts. Please continue to support this vital program.

Sisterhood News

Auxiliaries

Brotherhood News Jonathan Atkins & Louis Goldman Zita Samuels

It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of our beloved sister and past president Betsy Gould. Her achievements and dedication went far beyond Sisterhood to the entire synagogue community of Ohabei Shalom. As a Sisterhood president Betsy led us for four years with wisdom and dedication, spending countless hours organizing events and programming, always thinking of the greater good of the Sisterhood and the temple. After her presidency she continued to sit on the Sisterhood Board as an active participant, helped with our events, and wrote the monthly article for Tidings. She also served on the TOS Board of Trustees.

For the past twelve years Betsy chaired the Mitzvah Committee. In that role she organized mitzvah visits to temple shut-ins – bringing them gifts and cheer. She sent Chanukah and Pesach packages to college students away from home to enable them to celebrate these important Jewish holidays. In addition she spearheaded the annual toy drive that brought gifts and vitamins to children who are patients at the Boston Medical Center Grow Clinic.

We plan to dedicate our Sisterhood Concert to Betsy. It will take place on Sunday, October 25 at 3 PM. We will be entertained by our own mistress of song, Estelle Katz, who will present an exciting program that will include American standards as well as Hebrew and Yiddish favorites. Please come; help us raise funds for synagogue activities and Sisterhood programs; and especially to hear Estelle and honor Betsy. Tickets in advance are $15 ($5 for children under 12); they will be $18 at the door. Please make checks for concert tickets payable to Sisterhood, mark concert in the memo and mail to TOS. Indicate how many tickets you are ordering for adults and children. Advance tickets will be held at the door.

We have established the Betsy Gould Mitzvah Fund through the Sisterhood to honor Betsy and to fund the continuation of her work on Mitzvah Projects (twice yearly mitzvah visits to shut-ins; Pesach and Chanukah packages to college students; and the Toy Drive for the Grow Clinic). Please mail any donations c/o Sisterhood, TOS, 1187 Beacon St. Brookline, MA 02446. Make checks payable to Sisterhood and mark Betsy Gould Mitzvah Fund in the memo.

For your advance calendar, there will be a Sisterhood-Brotherhood Pot Luck Supper and Movie Night on Tuesday, November 17, 6:30 PM. We plan to show the movie Arranged, an engaging film about two young teachers in Brooklyn, an Orthodox Jew and a Muslim, who discover they have a shared expectation of entering into arranged marriages.

Finally, please remember to send in your Sisterhood dues payment if you have not yet done so. If you did not receive the mailing, please let me know and I will send you another (617-277-3653 or zitasam@aol.com). Many thanks for your support of Sisterhood.
