The Ultimate Forgiveness:

From Violence to Healing & Reconciliation

10 pm Reception

10:30 pm Selichot Service

Mary Johnson-Roy and Oshea Israel

Mary Johnson-Roy is the mother of a

murdered child, and the founder of “From

Death to Life”, an organization dedicated to

ending violence through facilitating healing

and reconciliation between families on both

sides of the tragedy of homicide. Through

participation in the restorative justice process, Mary transformed

the anger and hatred she had for Oshea Israel, the 16-year-old

boy who took her only son’s life, into forgiveness and love.

When Oshea was released from prison in 2010, after having

served 17 years, Mary welcomed him home with open arms. She

now considers him her “spiritual son” and together they share

their powerful story of healing and reconciliation in forums

around the country.

Phone it in. Rinse and repeat. Go through the motions.

These are not phrases we wish to associate with spiritual life! But inevita-

bly and without attention, the spirit can become stale and stagnant. The

High Holy Days are an invitation, each one with its own feel, to make

sure our spiritual lives are not inevitable. That we pay attention. To not

phone it in. To not rinse and repeat. To not go through the motions.

Katharine Rhodes Henderson, in God’s Troublemakers: How Women of

Faith Are Changing the World writes,

Rituals become rituals because they are capable of carrying the numinous; as

symbols of a host of meanings and associations, some of which we may only

partially grasp, they have the power to reconnect us with what we hold sacred.

But without regular practice, meditation upon their mysteries and nurture in a

community of faith, all rituals—including hymns, images and sacred stories—lose

their numinous charge and become merely hollow forms…[Rituals are] the root

system of spiritual food for a lifetime.

The rituals of the High Holy Days allow us to create the root system that will feed us

beyond the sounds of the shofar, the bread we throw at tashlikh and the bagels we eat at

break fast. These are rituals that return year after year and require us to explore new

meanings and associations. They ask us to reconnect with what we hold sacred. But in order

to not become hollow forms, the rituals need our full participation. As we prepare for the

High Holy Days, I invite you to take one ritual (a prayer, a practice or perhaps a family tradi-

tion) to become more curious about. Where in its recitation or its doing are you becoming aware

of yourself, those around you and God? What might you do the same or differently with it this year?

How might its recitation or its doing help you become the truest and kindest version of yourself?

As we turn to the formal liturgy of the Mahzor and the informal liturgy of these questions, I

hope we enter 5780 with deeper intention. That we not phone it in, rinse and repeat or go

through the motions. But truly arrive. May 5780 find you, as you seek it, with an ever-

growing spiritual life and the blessings of health and peace.

WORD FROM OUR BOARD

Military Families

Adath has a special interest havurah

(group) for families that have a loved one

who is active in the military. If you’d like

to learn more, contact Mark Greenstein

at 612.619.1329.

Drivers Needed

Adath’s Outreach Caring Community:

Yad Sima Tova has a need to have more

drivers help provide rides for transporta-

tion of Adath members to services,

minyan, or Adath functions. Call the

Transportation Hotline with a message

offering your help at 952.215.3937.

Congregants and community members participated in a unique service

to dedicate a new area at the Adath Chesed Shel Emes Cemetery. This

area of our cemetery is the first Jewish green burial option in the Twin

Cities and eighth in the US, providing Adath Jeshurun members and all

that are associated with the Jewish community an option for minimal

environmental impact while respecting the traditions of Jewish burial.

The dedication ceremony on June 23 was led by Rabbi Kravitz and

Hazzan Dulkin with assistance from Rabbi Stewart Kelman, Emeritus Rabbi of Netivot

Shalom in Berkley, California and Dean of the Gamliel Institute*. Rabbi Kelman was our

scholar-in-residence for the weekend, and also met with the Chevra Kavod Hamet and

the Cemetery Committee for discussions and learning on the spiritual and practical

aspects of Jewish end of life practices.

The dedication ceremony included the singing of Psalms (Ketuvim) 104 as the procession

walked the perimeter of the new burial section to recognize the sacredness of this land.

To reduce the long-term maintenance, a short-grass prairie and native wild flowers now

cover this area. Replacing the use of individual monuments, a shared monument has

been installed at the entrance to list the names of loved ones. Concrete grave liners will

not be used, and the choice of caskets is limited to biodegradable materials. The new

area is located in the southeast corner of the cemetery.

For answers to your questions about green

burial section or other options of the Adath

Chesed Shel Emes Cemetery, please contact

the Adath Jeshurun office to be referred to a

member of the Cemetery Committee.

*The Gamliel Institute educates, guides and

trains community leaders on Chevrah

Kadisha and related funeral, burial and

mourning traditions.

HEALTH NEWS

It Takes a Village to Teach Community

Over the course of the school year, I often hear parents express

a variety of reasons why they send their children to Talmud

Torah. Many focus on the specific areas of study in which we

immerse our students—Hebrew, Israel, Jewish Living, Holidays,

History, Tanach, and Music—all of the tools for potentially living

an intentional Jewish life. But at the core of each of these

conversations is that parents want to create a sense of

COMMUNITY for their children and for their extended families.

They want the shared knowledge, skills, and experiences that

come with the supplemental Jewish education that we provide to

be the primary catalyst for their children to connect with EACH

OTHER in addition to learning and living their traditions.

From our earliest biblical and rabbinic teachings, the education of

our children has been an integral part of the fabric that builds

and sustains Jewish communities. “And these words, which I

command you this day, shall be upon your heart; and you shall

teach them diligently to your children…” [Deut. 6:6-7]. Here,

the Torah challenges us to not only receive God’s mandates, but

to make sure they are passed along to our children as a

communal legacy. Our responsibilities are expanded through the

rabbinic tradition, as noted in Maimonides’ 12

th

-century law

code, the Mishneh Torah: “Just as a person is obligated to teach

one’s child, so too they are obligated to teach their grandchild,

as it says, ‘…and make them known to your children, and to

your children's children…’ [Deut 4:9]. And not just their child

and their grandchild: rather, there is a command upon each and

every wise person in Israel to teach all students, even though

they are not their children [MT, Talmud Torah, 1:2].” The

mandate to build community through education expands as we

assume the responsibility to educate each and every child.

In The Observant Life: The Wisdom of Conservative Judaism for

Contemporary Jews, Rabbi Eliezer Diamond reminds us that “the

obligation to provide a Jewish education is COMMUNAL as well

as parental. The Talmud [BT, Bava Batra, 21a] attributes an

ordinance to Joshua ben Gamla, one of the last High Priests of

the Second Temple period, requiring each community to provide

for the religious education of all its children from the age of six

or seven. Jewish communities throughout the ages have taken on

the responsibility, providing Jewish education to their youth.

Consequently, federations and other communal institutions

should make it their top priority is to increase the availability and

affordability of Jewish education for all Jewish children. After all,

it is Jewish education that is the most important guarantor of

Jewish continuity; more crucially, it is only through education

that we can create a Jewish COMMUNITY worth perpetuating.”

Registration for the 2019-2020 academic year for new and

continuing students is open and will continue through September

8 at www.talmudtorahmpls.org/registration.Together, let’s build

and nurture our COMMUNITY!!

YOUTH: GRADES 4-12

OMEN OF ADATH

Notes from the Presidents

Yesterday is history; Tomorrow is a mystery; Today is a gift.

Anonymous

The Women of Adath have had 100 years of yesterdays, so one

might say our history is well written.

Will we have another 100 years of tomorrows? We certainly

hope so, but that truly is a mystery!

But, we do have the gift of Today!

We start to open our gift by untying the ribbon—symbolic—we

untie ourselves from the ordinary way of thinking and move our

minds “outside the box”.

The next step involves the removal of the tissue paper—

symbolic—each piece of tissue paper reminds us that as Women

of Adath we are here to connect with women of all generations,

commit to support the synagogue, contribute to the greater

Jewish community, and strengthen our ties to Israel.

Finally, here is our gift of Today! It tells us that, as Women of

Adath, we have committed ourselves to maintaining the changes

and growth we have seen over the years. It reminds us to be

thankful for each woman who takes the time to volunteer at a

community outreach project. We use this “gift” to come

together, knowing all that we can accomplish together.

It’s a new day, one where we can come together, regardless of

our interests and skills, to form a network of committed Jewish

women. Let’s use our gift to put our hearts and souls into

making this a kinder, gentler and more inclusive world.

L’Shana Tova—may the coming year bring love and kindness to

your lives.

FOUNDATION

Adath Jeshurun

Foundation proudly

announces the

newly established

Jeannie and

Steve Gilfix

Family Fund for

Teen

Engagement,

honoring

Jeannie’s mother

Chernie Levinson,

of blessed memory. This new permanent fund supports post

B'nai Mitzvah teen engagement and education at Adath, to

deepen the quality and diversity of those experiences and attract

more teens to rich Jewish experiences.

When Chernie died earlier this year, Jeannie and Steve knew

they wanted to do something to honor her memory. “We want-

ed to strengthen the roots that have been planted,” said Jeannie.

“Being Jewish was really important to my mom. She grew up in a

small town as one of the only Jewish families.” Growing up in

Perham, Minnesota, Chernie’s family always observed Shabbat

and made every effort to provide her with a Jewish education.

The family received lessons from Temple of Aaron’s clergy, so

Chernie could study from afar, while her father taught her the

aleph-bet. When she turned 16, her mother Pauline moved the

kids to the Twin Cities to get a Jewish education while her father

Philip remained in Perham running the family business—the

Braufman General Store.

“Our parents really sacrificed so we could get a Jewish

education,” said Chernie’s sister Betty Greenstein (z’l) in a 2013

feature in Perham Focus magazine. Years later, Philip sold the

store and joined the rest of the family in South Minneapolis,

near the old Adath building on 34

th

and Dupont.

“My mom was active at

Adath throughout her

adult life—in Women’s

League, attending

services, and was sure to

be there every time her

grandchildren, Zachary

and Hannah, or I lead

services or read from the

Torah. She loved to

observe the holidays and

often hosted Shabbat dinners and held amazing Passover Seders,”

said Jeannie.

Over the years Jeannie and Steve have given their time and com-

mitment to Adath and the broader Jewish community. Jeannie

has taught at Adath’s Shabbat Morning Program since her college

years, and served on the Board of Trustees in several educational

vice-presidential roles. Steve has served on various committees

at Adath and more recently has led Talmud Torah of Minneapolis

in several positions, including his current role as co-president.

With the creation of a new permanent fund of Adath Jeshurun

Foundation, Jeannie and Steve have done their part to ensure

future generations continue to be engaged and educated by our

Adath community in their formative years.

“We know that our

future relies on educating

the next generation,'' said

Steve. “Zachary and

Hannah are fourth-

generation Adath

members. As students,

they benefited from the

Jewish educational and

social opportunities in the

community. During their

teen years, they both developed leadership skills while

experiencing the gift of giving back by tutoring their younger

peers, and Hannah leading the Adath USY board”.

“We realize that education is such a central part of Judaism and

know that the opportunities for teens look different today. We

want to make sure teens continue to have the opportunity to

engage and learn beyond their B’nai Mitzvot. During adolescence,

teens define their values and identity, and have an increasing

capacity for deeper learning and critical thinking. Thus, the

importance of ensuring our teens are engaged and learning in

meaningful and innovative ways,” said Jeannie.

This year the Gilfix fund will help launch the TEN@Adath

program—our branch of the new community-wide Teen

Education Network. A replacement for its predecessor program

“Yachad,” TEN@Adath will allow Adath’s teens to continue

accessing opportunities for meaningful, age-appropriate Jewish

learning that inspires them to stay connected.

Jeannie and Steve encourage others to join them in making

permanent gifts to the Adath community. “Find what’s important

and meaningful for you and see how you can support and expand

upon that,” said Steve. Jeannie added, “It’s a blessing to feel

passionate about something and to be able to share that

excitement with others.”

Foundation’s endowment, contact Development Director Evan

Stern at 952.215.3916, [email protected], or Foundation
