100 Blessings a Day Rabbi John Franken

“The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour”) and their civil rights (through the “Reich Citizenship Law”).

Someday--soon, let us hope-- “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and DOMA will come to be considered as morally objectionable across the nation as the Jim Crow and Nuremberg laws are to us now. It is for us, however, to hasten the coming of that day. We, who came out of slavery and centuries of bigotry, ought to be particularly impassioned about this issue. Our tradition teaches that every human being possesses an intrinsic divinity. It teaches us to love our neighbor. And it teaches us to practice equality. As we did with one civil rights movement already, let us help show the way in this civil rights struggle for dignity and equality.

This Rosh Hashanah, may you be inscribed in the Book of Life for a year of goodness, tikkun olam, happiness, wellness and peace. B’ahava (with love), Rabbi John A. Franken

In 2004, in the wake of the Goodridge v. Dept. of Public Health decision here in Massachusetts, a torrent of state constitutional amendments were proposed to the limit right of marriage to opposite-sex couples. The first such referendum took place in Missouri that August, and I spent much of the summer fighting it as Chair of the religious coalition “Missouri People of Faith Against Amendment 2.” We placed newspaper ads and wrote op-ed columns. We gave sermons and authored bulletin articles. We held a press conference and a rally.

To no avail. We lost in a landslide at the polls. Other states promptly followed suit, many of them by even more lopsided margins than Missouri’s 71-29 one to define marriage as between a man and a woman. Now, almost exactly six years later, a Federal judge in California has issued a ruling that, if upheld by the Supreme Court, would render all those state amendments unconstitutional. What is more, a majority of Californians now seem to believe that marriage ought to be available to any couple—gay or straight--that wishes to so solemnize its relationship. Evidently more of them have noticed that the San Andreas Fault didn’t open up when 18,000 same-sex couples wed in California a few years ago.

Yet the 136-page opinion by a single Federal judge will hardly be the last word on the matter of GLBT equality. Almost at the same time Judge Vaughn Walker announced his decision, it was reported that an Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, just shy of his 20 year pension, stands to become one of the highest-ranking officers to be discharged under the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy of the U.S. Defense Department.

Once upon a time, governments across this country marginalized and diminished an entire category of people based on their skin color. Among the many disadvantages, their freedom to marry was restricted by many states and their eligibility to serve in the armed forces was circumscribed by the Navy and War Departments. It is said that these so-called Jim Crow laws inspired the German Reichstag in 1935 to strip German Jews of their civil rights and freedoms as well. Among these were the freedom to marry (through

Join us at our new Intergenerational Rosh Hashanah Evening Service! Please join us for a new intergenerational service for adults and kids alike this Rosh Hashanah evening, September 8 at 7:30pm. The service will feature a story instead of a formal sermon and will offer a blend of both classical and popular “Judaism in Motion” style music. As both our choir and our Judaism in Motion band will be participating, it promises to be a particularly rich and moving way to usher in the New Year!

A Message From the Cantor

Jews United! Israel. Summer of 2010. While we, American, Reform Jews, are quite aware of Israel’s relationship with Palestinians and with the Arab world in general, we often overlook other pressing issues within Israel. This past summer, for reasons having nothing to do with the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, Hamas or Hezbollah, the State of Israel continued to challenge not only our support of the Jewish homeland, but even our very identity as Jews. Member of Knesset David Rotem presented a

bill which would grant sole authority over matters of conversion to the Ultra-Orthodox rabbinate in Israel. So how would this bill affect us, living thousands of miles away? Thousands of Jews by choice who converted under the auspices of Reform, Conservative, and even some Orthodox clergy would not be considered Jewish, according to the Jewish State. Further, Reform, Conservative and even some Orthodox Rabbis and Cantors would be disenfranchised: our roles as leaders of the Jewish people delegitimized. By association, it would even call into question the “Jewishness” of any Jews who do not choose to follow the traditional observance of the ultra-orthodox in Israel. In a similar affront to our Jewish values of inclusiveness and acceptance, Anat Hoffman, a woman, was arrested for publicly carrying a Torah scroll at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. In the wake of her arrest and the attempted passage of the Rotem conversion bill, Rabbi David Ellenson, President of Hebrew Union College, writes, “I feel a sense of great sadness. As a lifelong Zionist devoted to the State of Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people, I am filled with sorrow regarding recent developments that threaten to undermine both the liberal and democratic ethos of its founding leaders and the relationship between American Jews and Israel.” Indeed these events create in many of us feelings of sorrow, anger, frustration and bitterness. But these events did not just serve to alienate us and divide the Jewish people. A majority of Jews worldwide responded with conviction and purpose. We discussed the issues in our synagogue. We signed petitions. We wrote articles and letters. And in response, the Rotem bill did not come to a vote, but was sidelined—for now. Every year during the month of Elul, in preparation for the High Holy Days, we sing “Hashiveinu: Cause us to turn to you, God, and we will return. Renew our days, as of old.” We look to the year that has past, we examine our shortcomings and we try to better ourselves. We look both to the past and to the future at the same time. Despite the affront on our Jewishness from authorities in Israel, we have responded not by disengagement, but by letting our voices be heard in Israel and throughout the world. We have observed the mitzvah of Hashiveinu; we have renewed our commitment to the Jewish homeland, as of old. L’shanah tovah u’mtukah. A good and sweet new year,

Cantor Randall Schloss

Message from our President It has been fewer than 90 days since I’ve had the blessing of taking office as your President on June 1. In between summer vacations and board meetings, our Clergy, staff, board and many congregants have been hard at work preparing for our High Holy Days and the year ahead as well as addressing the daily challenges that are ever present. Staffing Let me begin by welcoming new staff members as well as congratulating those who have been promoted. First, please join me in welcoming Juliane McLellan as the Diane Trust Center Early Education Program Administrator. Juliane earned a BS in Child Development from the University of Maine in Orono and a MS in Early Childhood Education from Wheelock College in Boston. She has been an independent consultant since 2002 and is currently teaching a course in Early Education as an adjunct faculty member at Andover College. In addition to her consulting, Juliane was an accreditation consultant for the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, a health care teacher, an assessor for the National Association for the Education of Young Children and an Education Specialist for the Mid-Coast Resource Development Center. As we evaluated ARS and TCEE during our search process, the need to integrate these two fine schools and consolidate resources became evident and the opportunity to effect change timely. As a result, I am very happy to report that Shari Churwin’s role as Director of Education has been expanded to include oversight of not only ARS, but the early education center as well. This fits in beautifully with our short and long range plans and will be a key to our success. I am also very pleased to congratulate David Brody on officially becoming our Executive Director. David has a law degree from Suffolk University Law School and recently passed his bar exam. He also has a BA in Political Science from George Washington University with a minor in Religion. David has been with us for almost two years, most recently as the Acting Director. As reported in our last Tidings, please join with me in welcoming our new Pararabbinic Fellow, Philip Bressler. Phil has a BA in Jewish, Islamic and Near Eastern Studies from Washington University in St. Louis. As a Fellow, Phil will be providing administrative support to our clergy, teaching, leading services and organizing additional programs for TOS. Membership and High Holy Day Preparation It brings me such great joy to be able to again offer, on behalf of the entire board, free High Holy tickets for your guests. Tickets to outside guests will be raised from $18 to $36. I am very thankful that we once again have a capable and hard working set of co-chairs leading the Circle of Giving annual appeal and your participation at any level is critically important. Programming We have planned for an exciting year ahead. This year we will be expanding our Shabbat programming on Saturday mornings with Shabbat B’Yachad. The second Saturday of each month will have a morning of programming for the whole family including: Mindfulness and Meditation (led by Rabbi Franken and Donna Rubenoff), Torah Study, Youth Education, Family and Traditional Services, with a Community Kiddush to conclude. On the first Friday of each month, Shabbat Rishon is already attracting great speakers including Susan Helfgott Whitman who is scheduled for November 5th. And thanks to Phil Bressler and David Brody, our young professionals group, haverim, has grown with expanded programming. We are also proud to welcome back our now 8 person strong volunteer band who makes our Judaism in Motion Services so engaging. With Cantor Schloss and David Sparr they do credit to a long tradition of innovative and stirring musical worship at Temple Ohabei Shalom. With the holidays upon us, this is the perfect time to thank Daniel Krueger, our Recording Secretary and Ritual Committee Chair for all of his hard work in making these services seemless. From coordinating honors to overseeing Ushers, Dan has done it all. We are lucky to have such a dedicated leader in our congregation. Dan, thank you. Project for Our Future I am so delighted to report on the Project for Our Future, which is due to be complete within the next month. This will be followed by a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, September 21st. Shortly thereafter, on November 4, an inaugural gala, L’Dor VaDor – From Generation to Generation will take place to support the Diane K. Trust Center for Early Education and to honor its lead benefactors Diane K. and Martin Trust. With headliner, Jerry Stiller and his daughter Amy offering their humorous thoughts on intergenerational interactions, this night is certain to be a success. Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to serve you and our community. I would very much like to hear from you and encourage your comments and feedback. I may be contacted at president@ohabei.org. As the Talmud teaches us: An individual Jew is an oxymoron. To be a Jew means to be in community. I am proud to have you all as members of our community. Michael Weintraub

students and families with school age children, our plans for the coming year include a robust selection of experiential offerings (Shabbat services, retreats, shul-ins, mitzvah projects, youth group events, etc.) to complement our ARS classroom learning time. These additional Jewish experiences are an integral part of our program, offering choice, variety and living-Judaism to our families. Our new hands-on ARS curriculum is based on the three pillars of Jewish life – Torah, Avodah (prayer) and G’milut Chasadim (deeds of loving kindness). Torah is the totality of Jewish tradition – Jewish learning through our stories, heritage, literature values and ethics. Avodah is the heart of Jewish life, helping us connect to our people, our God and our community. Prayer is also central to our life-cycle events and holiday observance; it is the cornerstone of our daily lives as Jews. G’milut Chasadim is the actualization of Jewish values – the way we interact with the world and those around us. These values guide us to be better, do better, live better and to influence those around us to do the same. There are so many ways to express yourself and participate in the Ohabei Shalom Community. All will be grateful for having shared the journey with us. The chart below illustrates how the entire Ohabei Shalom community views the ARS classroom learning as just one part of parents’ involvement in the TOS community. Families are encouraged to join the congregation for weekly Shabbat services and holiday celebrations, as well as participate in the many programs that are offered to the congregation. I am confident that our future together will be exciting and fulfilling and look forward to being your partner as our congregation, you and your family take the next steps along the path of our collective Jewish journey.

During the hot summer months I have been

working with the clergy on shaping and articulating a vision of the future of education at Temple Ohabei Shalom. We are continually

striving to create an atmosphere where children of all ages can learn to embrace and love Judaism. Offering unique experiences in a nurturing environment that enables students to feel connected to their home at Ohabei Shalom and the greater the Jewish community and grow up embracing a life rich with Jewish values, self-esteem and humanity. As the Trust Center for Early Education (TCEE) prepares to open its doors for its second year, we are working hard to fulfill our dreams of creating a seamless educational program for children of all ages making sure that our many educational programs share common goals and objectives. One way to make this a reality is for both programs to share key staff and teachers which will further our mission in new and bold ways. As they say, it takes a shtetl to raise children these days. We have reconfigured the overall structure of the education program staff to help us make our vision a reality. We are blessed that our synagogue staff is growing. I am pleased to welcome Juliane McLellan, Trust Center Program Administrator, Stacy Weinberg, Youth Educator, and Micah Shapiro, Education Programs Coordinator, to the team. (More information can be found on page 18). Please help us welcome them all to the TOS family. The pilot year of the new ARS 2.0 program was a success in many ways and we have learned much to carry us forward into the new year. A religious school education in isolation neither excites the mind nor infuses life with meaning. For our

Eva Freya Rosenberg Fine Daughter of Alan Fine and Carol Rosenberg September 25, 2010 17 Tishrei 5771 Chol Hamoed Sukkot My mitzvah project, unlike most, was not focused on helping one specific group or on helping to correct an environmental problem. Instead, I volunteered at a non-profit organization, People Making a Difference (PMD), which organizes one-day activities that anyone can sign up to be part of. These activities include making warm fleece blankets for underprivileged children, helping out at a local carnival by painting young childrens' faces, or serving dinner to elderly people who may have trouble walking. I chose to volunteer at PMD because of the varied activities they offer; I wanted to divide up my time and interest helping disparate groups of people. Not only did I bring home a feeling of accomplishment after participating in these projects, I now want to go back again in my own free time.

The center is located in Mumbai, and it is totally awesome. Children who have problems like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and autism are diagnosed and treated by a team of specialists. I will be raising money to sponsor families who can't afford to go to this clinic so they can get help for their child. Please let me know if you wish to donate!

Sisters will bring dairy and pareve dishes and the Brothers will provide drinks, dessert and popcorn. The movie will be A Stranger Among Us starring Melanie Griffith as a New York police officer who solves a crime in the Hasidic Jewish community.

We have a number of active small groups and welcome suggestions for others. Please contact Amy Hozid 617-566-1939 or ahozid@gmail.com about the Book Group.

Wiener will be leading a series of Jewish Studies seminars on six Thursdays at TOS beginning on October 7. We are also hoping to organize a number of "field trips" to places of interest in and around Boston. One of these trips will be attendance at Limmud Boston, a celebration of Jewish culture and identity that will include Havdalah, study sessions, entertainment, dance, exhibitor sales and more on Saturday evening October 30 and Sunday October 31. The event will take place at Temple Israel and will cost $36 per participant. Please visit www.LimmudBoston.org for more information. I will post further notices in the November/December Tidings and in the TOS e-mail bulletin.

Dear Fellow Congregant, We are writing you to consider getting involved with our Brotherhood, the Men’s Club at Temple Ohabei Shalom. Brotherhood has monthly meetings, our guest speakers are outstanding, dinner is always served, and there is time to schmooze. Many members have been involved for years and it has enriched our lives and our connection to our Temple. Many of us now know people that we did not know before and just as importantly, they know us. We enjoy our meetings, get to see old friends and meet new ones, and we don’t have to impress anyone with our job titles or business success. We just get to relate to people that we truly enjoy spending time with. Involvement with our membership, programs, and Tikkun committees will further enrich your experience. 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, most of which we contribute back to the Temple. Give us a chance this coming year and see if your participation enhances your life as it has ours. Become part of our active Brotherhood and make our programs even better! Our programs this year include discussions and presentations designed to enrich your lives and stimulate your minds. Some of the topics include 50 Years of the New England Patriots (bring the kids), Computer Security and Integrity, Men's Health, and The 1st Amendment - What it Really Means. Attached is the Brotherhood’s Membership & Partnership Form, us well as our 2010 – 2011 Schedule of events. Please consider also contributing to the Ben Adler Memorial Fund, created to sponsor Health & Well-Being Programs in memory of Ben Adler, like the Annual Blood Drive and Men’s Health programs; as well as making a donation to the Brotherhood’s Penn Trust, which has supported the Ansin Religious School by providing scholarships, and co-sponsored events and projects that benefit the greater Ohabei Shalom Community. Regards, The 2010 – 2011 Brotherhood Officers: Louis B. Goldman President Howard Koor Vice President of Membership Alan Shepro Vice President of Programs Ed Kahn Treasurer Jerry Kravitz Secretary Please contact Howard Koor at 617-257-3868 or at brotherhood@ohabei.org for more information.

Welcome Stacy Weinberg!! Stacy Weinberg is originally from Chicago, Illinois where she lived until college. In 2006 she gradu-ated from Cornell College with a degree in English Literature. After taking a year off where she lived in Atlanta and worked for Congrega-tion B’Nai Torah, she moved to New York to start graduate school

at the Jewish Theological Seminary. While in New York she worked at Sutton Place Synagogue teaching religious school for children from pre-school through middle school. She also served as a Program Coordinator for the Interfaith Community, and as an intern at the Teva Learning Center where she worked on curriculum devel-opment and learned to combine her passion for the out-doors with Jewish learning. She graduated with a Mas-ters in Informal and Communal Jewish education in May and after spending her second summer at Camp Micah, she is thrilled to be joining the team at Ohabei Shalom!

Welcome Micah Shapiro!! Micah Shapiro is an educator, musician, performer, and administrator who holds a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from McGill University. This past year, Micah was a song leader and music teacher at both Gun Hill Child Care in the Bronx, NY and Public School 145 in Harlem, NY. Prior to those positions, he served as Executive Assistant to the Executive Director of The Jewish Early Childhood Education Initiative in Manhattan and supported a range of staff as the Administrative Coordinator at Tufts University’s Hillel Center. As a child, Micah attended the day school Cohen Hillel Academy and was very active at the Jewish Community Center. Micah’s teenage years at Camp Yavneh had an even more pronounced influence on his Jewish identity. He credits the camp’s pluralistic, informal, energy-filled atmosphere for facilitating his realization that Judaism could be cool. After his time as a camper there, Micah went on to serve as the tennis coach and counselor for the teenage groups. In addition to his Jewish school and camp experiences, Micah has been to Israel fourteen times, remaining close with the many family members he has in that country. At Marblehead High School, Micah was captain of the varsity basketball team, and a key member of the musical productions and varsity tennis team. At McGill University, Micah’s liberal arts studies were matched by his ambitious performance life. Micah won three awards for best vocal percussionist at the regional acappella competition, toured the country with the popular acoustic rock band Throwback, was co-founder of a popular funk band, and took part in One Foot Productions musical, “Cabaret”. He is currently performing with his music comedy duo at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.
