HOW HAVE WE CHANGED

OURSELVES ON THIS NIGHT?

Don’t let the title mislead you, this is

the column for September 2018, not

April of 2019. But I was thinking about

the High Holidays and what a difference each

service can make in our lives. Starting with S’lichot

on September first at 7:30 PM to Sukkoth which

ends on Sunday the 30th, we have a great variety

of prayer motifs to choose from. There will be

singing and speaking and standing and sitting and

marching and dancing all as we try to get closer to

G-D and each other. But, let’s be honest, there is

a certain measure of routine to our High Holiday

services, most begin at the same time, 8 PM at

night and 10 AM in the morning. They do end

differently depending upon how much I want to

speak. Some say too long, some say too short and

some say just right, it’s the Three Bears of

Judaism.

That’s the kernel of the beauty of Judaism, not

one size fits all. Some of our congregants prefer

the Choir, some the poetry of the Mahzor (Prayer

book), some, I am proud to say, my drashes. Don’t

worry, some don’t like my drashes and are not shy

about telling me.

Boxes for Rosh Hashanah.

RABBI’S COLUMN, CONTINUED

We cannot and should not try to please everyone. What each of us has to do is to please ourselves. We

come to the High Holy Days from many different places, physically, emotionally and spiritually. The trials

of life have taken a toll on each of us. Therefore, we need and must have our own unique experience

when celebrating the High Holy Days. We start early with S’lichot so that we have enough time to review

the last year and where we have done the same old boring stuff and accomplished the same old mitzvoth

and committed the same old sins. It is time for new sins!

Just kidding, kinda! It is time for new adventures. Try new things, go to new places or, if that is

impossible, go to the same old places but look at them with different eyes. A simple exercise is driving to

work. One day pick a different route to your place of employ. Try to go before or after rush hour so you

can see the wonders of your route with endangering yourself. Next pick an activity you have been

meaning to do but keep putting off. DO IT, don’t wait. Who knows what is will befall you!

Last month, a sweet, lovely, friendly woman who works in one of the National Council of Jewish Women

Thrift Shops, discovered she had lung cancer and three weeks later she died. What are we waiting to

accomplish?

On the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, we are 10 days into apologizing for our poor behavior for the past

year, surely we have spent a good deal of time coming clean. However, if you view the word

ATONEMENT, a bit differently, it could be read as’ AT ONE MENT’. Who should we be one with? God, of

Course. And what was G-d’s first activity Vis a Vis, us?

Creating US. So, if you want to be AT ONE with God, Create new experiences, new attitudes, make

yourself a new person, ‘created in’ the image of G-d. Create for yourself a New World. It does not have to

be that complicated only that Creative.

When my students at Sherman Oaks Center would ask me about my life, I would tell them the truth, I

have changed career direction at least 4 times from the time I was 18, 50 years ago.

How can the rest of you do any different? Not Radical change, but biblical Change, The Hebrew says,

‘Hadesh Yamenu K’Kedem’ (Make our days New like they were long ago)! How could something from

long ago, be NEW ? Because long ago we were children, and anyone who knows anything about

children knows that children always discover the ’newness’ of doing things. So, bring to us the child in

you! Bring the exuberance, the laughter, the joy, the Amazement. Let us share the wonders of ‘youth’

with you whether it is the first youth or the second.

Remember on Rosh Hashanah when we begin reading and dreaming about how G-d created us, Act in

Imitatio Dei and Re-create a new you!

B’Ahava and Shanah Tova,

Rabbi Mark

President’s Message

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – September 2018

At the High Holidays, we see many people we have not seen in a while and we meet

newcomers. Perhaps they are drawn to synagogue by the pull of distant memories or

the awakening of dormant Jewish self-identity. Coinciding with the beginning of the

secular school year, this month is also the time of year when parents of young children

begin to think that maybe it is time to begin their children’s preparation for Bar or Bat

Mitzvah.

This is a time of year when Jews who have drifted away from active participation in the Jewish

community, at least for a time, return to their Jewish roots. In fact, the Shabbat between Rosh Hashanah

and Yom Kippur is known as Shabbat Shuvah, the “Shabbat of return.” The irony is that attendance at

services on Shabbat Shuvah is generally low. People have just spend an evening and morning at Rosh

Hashanah services and are facing an even longer set of services at Yom Kippur.

Many years ago, a Temple Board member found a study indicating that more American Jews observed

Hanukkah than the High Holidays, and that synagogues should thus focus their “recruiting” efforts at that

time of the year. In practice, however, it seems that the increase in Jewish observance gets packed

away along with the Hanukkiyah and the left-over candles. The High Holidays remain the time when

people feel the greatest personal need to be part of the Jewish Community, as well as the time they feel

the greatest obligation to support the Jewish Community.

It is the best time of the year for each of us to commit ourselves to greater involvement to and support of

Temple Beth Emet, the best time of the year to invite others to visit us and find their spiritual home, and

the best time for us to welcome those returning to Temple Beth Emet and those finding us for the first

time.

The High Holiday season begins the evening of Saturday, September 1 with Selichot services at 7:30

PM. At this service, our Torahs don their white covers, and prayers of penitence are recited to prepare

ourselves spiritually of the remainder of the season. Think of it as the beginning of a concert when the all

of the orchestra members tune their instrument to “A.”

A week later, on Sunday, September 9, our new Religious School year starts at 9:00 AM, and Rosh

Hashanah services begin that evening at 8:00 PM. What a great way to start the New Year! A new year

of learning begins in the morning, a new year of possibilities begins that evening.

The High Holiday season is full of joy and hope for the clergy, staff, and lay leadership at Temple Beth

Emet. It can also be hectic and stressful, with all sorts of details to attend to and issues to solve.

Sometimes the tension gets the better of us and we momentarily forget to acknowledge the rest of our

Temple community. So I take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support, encouragement, and

love over the past year. I apologize for any hurt or shortcoming any of us have given. And on behalf of

myself, my family, and those of us who strive to serve at Temple Beth Emet we wish all of the Temple

Beth Emet family tovah tikatevu," may it be a good and sweet year for all of

TEMPLE BETH EMET - HELP US KEEP GROWING

Help Us Keep Growing

This year marks the 60th Year Anniversary of Temple Beth Emet of Burbank! As we prepare for our upcoming anniversary celebration, we are busy with both improving and updating the Temple. While attendance for both our Religious School and newly opened Preschool have been thriving, we find ourselves having to deal with many building maintenance issues, due to heavy winds and rain of this past season. In order to keep up with the growth of our schools, we truly need more funding to complete our learning environments in a way that accommodates and welcomes our surrounding community. The following projects are currently in the works but we need your help to complete them. Projects in process: - The building & stocking of our third classroom - Refurbishing Blum Hall, our main gathering center - Water fountains for our children - Additional play equipment for the schools - Repaving of our parking lot - New ceiling tiles throughout due to water damage. Our goal is to raise $18,000 to achieve all of the improvements necessary to continue to provide a safe, quality, positive learning environment for our children, as well as our members of our congregation. The children are what makes this Temple special and it is our hope to provide them with the most positive experience possible. We chose the figure $18,000 to represent "Chai" which is the Hebrew word for "Life." Donations can be made via check or by going to our Temple Beth Emet – Face Book page & clicking on the link below: https://www.gofundme.com/kb8yn5-help-us-keep-growing?sharetype=teams&member=207948&rcid=r01-153012839128-2a9ac4812a174539&pc=ot_co_campmgmt_w

We thank you in advance for your help and look forward to seeing you at our 60th Year Celebration later this year! Shalom, Temple Beth Emet of Burbank President, Rabbi, Board of Directors & All Our Staff

Do You Have a Son and/or Daughter In College?

Temple Beth Emet has started a program to connect with our students attending a College. We would like to help

them to continue their Jewish way of life and offer them additional support. This way, they will always have an

open line of communication with our Rabbi, should they have questions or need direction; and we will remind them

of their link to Israel and to keep connected to the Jewish Community. After college, we hope to have them join

our Temple, as an adult.

Please send an e-mail and give me the following information:

The name of the Student;

Class Level;

Address;

Name of the University, and;

If the Student is a member of any organization or club on campus.

The Temple will send a care-package for each holiday, as a gift to the Student with a calendar of events at the

Temple for each month. The Student will be invited to all events sponsored by the Temple. We would like to

encourage the Student to return to the Temple as often as they wish; as the Temple would like to offer itself as a

second home and place of Jewish learning. I look forward hearing from you!
