HOW TO MAKE A THANKSGIVING CHALLAH

Make your dough. Divide into 8 sections. Set aside 2 parts—1 for the body, 1 for the head.

Take remaining 6 sections and divide each section into 3 parts. Braid each of those. Assemble the turkey: Form the body and the head, add the feathers. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds,

almonds, or other toppings if desired. Brush with egg wash (2 egg yolks + 1 teaspoon of water). Add candy eyes. Bake 25-27 minutes at 350 degrees. Add candy corn nose. Nosh!

BOARD MEMBER FOCUS SHIRLEY EDELMAN

Shirley has been a member of our congregation since 1975. She joined because her twin sister, Florence Marsh, and Florence’s husband, Henry z”l, were members. They convinced her to become part of our kehillah. She was honored on Simchat Torah this year as the Kallah Bereshit, or ‘bride of the beginning’ (of the Torah). She was chosen for this special honor because of her many years of devotion and volunteerism to the synagogue. There are not many 93 year olds who regularly reach out to our congregants by phone and by email—and yet she does it all the time—and all on her iPhone! Shirley is the Sisterhood representative to the Board of Trustees, a floor gabbai, member of the worship and membership committees, and a regular attendee at ALL synagogue services. She assigns Torah and haftarah readers and Shabbat hosts, prepares the monthly Gateways for mailing, and is in charge

of the volunteers for our booth at the annual GSDS Rib Burn Off. A few of the more memorable past activities that Shirley was involved in include Sisterhood co-president, chair of two Ethiopian programs and chair of the 50th anniversary year-long celebration. We hope that she will continue to be an integral part of our kehillah for many years to come!

A LESSON FROM RABBI SCOTT ROLAND

NOV 2016/TISHREI/CHESHVAN 5777 PAGE 4

Ask the Birds and They Will Tell You Our celebration of yamim hanoraim, The High Holy Days, at Shaarey Tikvah, was a highlight of my time here thus far. It was so good to see so many of your faces so frequently. Now we are thrust into the Hebrew month of Marheshvan, called “Mar” or “bitter” as it contains no holidays. Without holidays it might seem that we lack the constant reminder that we are but creations of God, relying upon the Holy Blessed One for our very existence. According to the Book of Job, it should be obvious that we depend on God for sustenance and survival. How so? “Ask an animal and it will teach you; the bird of the heavens and it will tell you…Who cannot know from all these things that the hand of God made this? That in God’s hand is the soul of every living thing and the spirit of all mankind?” (Job 12:7&9) Without festive worship to keep us in line, Job tells us that we should simply look at the natural world and be reminded of God’s role in our fate. As the leaves turn and the weather changes, we have obvious reminders of the beauty of the created world. Yet, to be a religious person is to witness the more obscure sanctities that surround us. It just so happens that we currently have an opportunity to do just that with Fall Migration! Many of you know that my family enjoys birding*. This hobby provides us with the opportunity to be out in the world and to notice things that go unnoticed by many others. As author Jonathan Rosen wrote in his book, “Life of the Skies,”

“Try to be one of the people,” said Henry James, “on whom nothing is lost.” As a writer I considered myself observant, but how much was lost on me! Birds may be everywhere, but they also—lucky for them—inhabit an alternate universe, invisible to most of us until we learn to look in a new way.”

In the Spring and Fall, our hobby moves from the static to the dynamic. There are wonders to be seen if we open ourselves up to them. There are treasures to be found if we search for them. One of the reasons this hobby has become so beloved by me is that it is easily made into a metaphor for adding meaning to ones religious life. We must strive to see what others are not seeing. We must act where others are not acting. We must highlight the hidden blessings and beauty of our world. May this task occupy us through the quiet months of our calendar. Bivracha, Rabbi Scott B. Roland

*Birding is the preferred nomenclature for what many refer to as “Bird Watching.” It is considered to be a more active hobby. Bird Watching is sitting in a patio chair and looking at a feeder. Birders are more active seekers.

NOTE: Our new bird feeders outside the Atrium are attracting all kinds of birds but especially the black-capped Chicadee.

A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT RICK KODISH

High Holidays Musings and Thanks

Twenty four hours ago as the sun set in Cleveland, the Cavaliers raised the championship banner, the Indians threw out the first pitch of the World Series, and we concluded the celebration of Simchat Torah. Our High Holiday marathon has finally come to an end, and each year it leaves me both exhausted and exhilarated. I often wonder why G-d chose to string so many Jewish holidays together in such a short period of time, but then I begin to feel irreverent and just try to be grateful. So let me reflect for a moment: what a beautiful and spiritual community we have! There are so many to thank for helping to make our Yamim Noraim so special. Rabbi Roland and Cantor Paller, the High Holy Day Choir, service participants, all of our ushers, the security team, Martha and our wonderful synagogue staff, and so many others who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring together a meaningful yontif. And speaking of meaningful, I was especially appreciative for the opportunity to share my very short story/reflective writing piece on Kol Nidre. Several of you have requested that I publish the piece in Gateways, so here you go:

——————————————————————————

The Fisherman

Eric David Kodish

The sun created ripples at the junction of sand and surf. As I walked on the beach along the Mediterranean Sea north of Tel Aviv, I spotted a fisherman standing on the shore with his line cast forward. He began to reel in a catch and was soon dangling a very small fish wiggling on the hook. I wondered what he would do. The fish seemed too tiny to keep. Sure enough, he released the creature and immediately tossed it back into the water. But the fisherman did not hoist his catch far enough. Along the ripples the little fish wiggled and stopped. When the surf came in the fish was resuscitated, and when the surf went out the dryness brought him near death. Over and over with a hypnotic rhythmicity the pattern continued for several minutes. I thought about going down to the water to deliver the fish to moisture and to life, but decided instead to watch the fisherman. I began to see the symbolic power and reflected on the spiritual implications. After what felt like a very long time to me, (and probably felt even longer to the fish!), the man glanced over and noticed the flip flopping that had fixated my gaze. He reached down and grabbed his prey, and hurled him sailing to water and to life renewed. My heart and soul hope that the Kadosh Barchu will do the same for us.

A NOTE FROM CANTOR GARY

NOV 2016/TISHREI/CHESHVAN 5777 PAGE 8

A New Year of Happiness and Love It is the Sunday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and the November bulletin article is due. I feel as if I am in a state of limbo; trapped near the inner circle of thought; suspended somewhere between the ten days of repentance and the gates of forgiveness. The weeks leading up to the High Holy Days, the awesome days themselves, and the festival of Sukkot which follows are all-consuming. For a cantor, this period requires a laser-like focus almost to the exclusion of all else. One comes out the other side totally drained, but hopefully with a feeling of accomplishment. I am grateful to be healthy, and happy that Rosh Hashanah services went so well. I recall a special I once watched on CNN entitled “Happiness and Your Health.” I was so impressed by it that I took notes. Much of what was presented made good sense. The key to happiness was described as “not what you get, but what you become.” Rather than one burst of good fortune, happiness was defined as the little things that give us pleasure, such as a walk in the park with a good friend, listening to beautiful music, watching a glorious sunset, or enjoying a hot fudge sundae. I agree! But I found the most meaning in the words of Philadelphia clinical psychologist and radio talk show host Dan Gottlieb, who equated happiness with love and gratitude for family and friends. Gottlieb is paralyzed from the chest down as a result of a freak accident. A truck tire bouncing across a highway crushed his car and his spine. Since the accident, he has weathered a divorce and the losses of his sister, who was his best friend, as well as his mother and his father. Yet he says he is happier now than before the accident. Says Gottlieb, “All things go. We lose everything, including our youth, our health, our loved ones. Things go. But if we can hold on to what’s most precious – and that’s emotions – like love and gratitude and awe, they can’t be taken away.” Gottlieb challenges us to “love who we love, only do it better. Know how their eyes look when they’re happy; know how they hold their shoulders when they’re tired. Love them better. And then, tomorrow, love one more person that much. The more people we love that much, the more secure, the happier, the more grateful we’ll be.” He went on to say that there is much in our lives over which we have no control. “But we do have control over who we love and how we love them.” I’m reminded of the song “Happiness” from the musical “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Here is how it ends:

“Happiness is singing together when day is through And happiness is those who sing with you.

Happiness is morning and evening

Daytime and nighttime too For happiness is anyone, and anything, at all

That’s loved by you.” As we move forward into this new year, may we strive to hold on to each and every precious moment of joy, and may we not miss an opportunity to love one another better. L’shalom, Cantor Gary

NEWS FROM FACE TO FACE DIRECTOR LOUISE FREILICH

Please join us at Shabbat services on Saturday November 12th as CST holds

its annual Kristallnacht Commemoration. Our synagogue has been remembering “The Night of Broken Glass” for a very long time. In fact, after Gates of Hope – Shaarey Tikvah was officially founded at a meeting on October 20,1940, the new synagogue held their first official Friday night service on November 8, 1940 and the events of Kristallnacht were freshly remembered at that time. This year we will remember the tragic night, perhaps more reflectively than our founding members did in 1940, with a dramatic reading entitled Poetry for a Kristallnacht Commemoration. Kristallnacht – The Night of Broken Glass occurred on November 9, 1940. On that night and the following day, Nazis went on an organized violent rampage throughout Germany, Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia. They burned, destroyed, vandalized or looted synagogues in more than 1200 cities and towns. They broke the storefront windows of 7,500 Jewish-owned stores, hence the name for the day. The Nazis also destroyed Jewish homes and arrested 30,000 men and put them in concentration camps such as Dachau and Buchenwald. This was reported in the world press and then the world stood silent. People have occasionally asked me why we need a separate Kristallnacht commemoration in November when the entire Jewish community remembers the Holocaust on Yom HaShoah in the spring. I think that specifically remembering the Night of Broken Glass is critically important.

When we remember Kristallnacht we honor our founding members, many of whom subsequently lost relatives in the Holocaust. Only a few of our congregants who actually experienced Kristallnacht are still alive to share their memories. We must do that for them. The Gates of Hope founders provided the base from which we built the synagogue that is CST today.

When we remember Kristallnacht we are forced to think about how history might have been different if people in Germany and around the world had chosen to act differently. History is not inevitable; what happens occurs because people choose to act or not act.

Kristallnacht reminds us that small hatreds can become very large if we are not on guard.

Kristallnacht reminds us that words are actions; that words can lead to actions.

Kristallnacht reminds us not to be silent in the face of hatred. Rabbi Joachim Prinz, a rabbi in Nazi Germany said “When I was the rabbi of the Jewish community of Berlin under the Hitler regime, I learned many things. The most important thing I learned under those tragic circumstances was that bigotry and hatred are not the most urgent problem. The most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful and the most tragic problem is silence.”

In Germany, Kristallnacht is now called Pogromnacht to reflect that much more than glass was broken on that night. Join us on November 12 to remember all that was broken and lost at that time.

FROM THE DESK OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

MARTHA SIVERTSON

This is NOT a political article… or is it?

If we accept a (Google) definition of politics as “the practice and theory of influencing other people” (to change a behavior), then there is absolutely NO escape from living in a political world. Whether we want to admit it or not, we couldn’t get by without at least trying to influence people every waking minute of our lives. Who knows? Maybe even in our dreams! Let me give you just a few recent examples: 1) While in Portland earlier this month (October), I had a little accident with my rental car. I bumped a little Mazda with my little Chrysler 200 backing out of a little parking space. The Mazda driver jumped out, rubbed off his bumper with his shirt cuff and drove off. I did squeeze in a quick apology. (I know. I know. Insurance companies don’t want their clients to admit to anything.) Back at the rental agency, I told them what had happened and they said “You apologized?” “Yes”, I said. “I wanted the Mazda driver to know I cared about him”…actually, I wanted to influence the Mazda driver to not hit me back. 2) My husband and I bought one of your semi-typical brick homes in Shaker Heights almost 25 years ago. It had been owned by a family who had had it built for themselves in 1940 and never saw the need to update it. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” could certainly have been their family motto and, to tell you the truth, was ours as well. After visiting many of your homes for one reason or another and seeing some absolutely gorgeous kitchens, I went to Lowe’s, brought the equivalent of a “showroom” of samples home and influenced my husband to finally make a decision on colors and textures. It isn’t done yet by any means, but your unintentional influences lead to my being able to take action. 3) Several of you may have heard me tell the not-so-interesting story of how I thought I had Polish roots that were actually Lithuanian. Growing up, my mom’s maiden name was Bardzilowski. I was filling out some paperwork for a college application one day when she told me it was Bardziliauskas. Her family changed it because there were no Lithuanian Catholic Churches in Harrison, New Jersey, so they had to join a Polish Church. Many years later visiting Asheville, North Carolina, a friend and I realized we were in the wrong hotel (same name, different location). We were exhausted from our travels and just asked if there was a room available. The man behind the counter said “no”. I noticed he had an interesting name on his badge so I asked him what nationality it was. He said “Lithuanian”. I told him my not-so-interesting story. My friend and I not only got a room there but a room with what is now known (between us) as a “Lithuanian Discount”. My inquiry turned influential. Silly thing is, though, had I really had a true awareness of being Lithuanian, I would have known the name on his badge was Lithuanian. G-d knows what we would have gotten had I been able to speak Lithuanian! Free in-room movies, perhaps? Moral of the story? There is never a NON-political season. Let’s just all hope (and pray) that both what we influence and what we are all influenced by are for the common good.

UPDATE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF

EDUCATIONAL ENGAGEMENT JULIE KAUFMAN

Strategies

Although there really isn’t a competitive bone in my body, I love to think about strategies and try them out. I don’t focus on strategies to win exactly, it’s more about experimentation. Sometimes I get a little adrenaline rush from seeing what will happen in any given situation when I use a new technique. Here are some instances of what I mean. What happens if, despite wanting to tell him exactly what to do and how to do it, I leave my 5th grader to figure out for himself how to best accomplish a long-term project? If I invite my kindergartener to make dinner with me, will he be more likely to eat and enjoy the meal? If I plan to enhance my exercise routine, will getting out of bed first thing in the morning work, or is it more realistic to factor in some time between dinner and evening chores? If my husband and I set aside weekly meetings to talk about schedules, bills, and other “housekeeping” will we feel that our lives are more manageable or structured like a business? My silent motto when it comes to employing these strategies is, “Just try it and see what happens.” It may be unusual, but I like the positive reinforcement I tend to discover when thinking about worst case scenarios. Such as, if we move our family to Cleveland and it doesn’t “go well”, what’s the worst that could happen? I play it out with possible outcomes: we move back to Boston, we move somewhere else, we figure out what isn’t going well and try to change it, etc. Or, for example, what if I accept a job offer and it turns out not to be the “right” thing? What’s the worst that could happen? I could get fired, I could quit, I could do it for a year and then re-evaluate, I could talk to my boss about the issues and try to make things better, I could chalk it up to a learning experience, etc. Or, any of the following: What if I start something and don’t finish it? Or try something, and I’m not good at it? Or, attempt a strategy and find that it isn’t working? Or speak up and regret it? Or don’t speak up and regret it? Usually I find that even my worst case scenario (with the exception of such possibilities as either myself or others could get seriously injured or die) isn’t reason not to attempt a new strategy. Now that I’m about three months in on the job as Director of Educational Engagement (isn’t three months when they say a newborn baby usually starts to “wake up” and really show his/her personality?) I’m thinking about all the strategies I’ve employed since jumping onboard the CST ship in an interim capacity last spring. I’m thinking about all the worst case scenarios I’ve allowed to run through my mind and all the decisions that have, for better or worse, been made. There have been numerous experiments in terms of the educational programming. Perach Kodish enhances the Shabbat morning experiences for our students with Hebrew (through a physically engaging method called Total Physical Response). Brynna Fish leads tefillah and singing for the youngest learners in Shabbat Clubhouse and for the school-age students. Kids had a rotation of seven stations on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to keep them physically and mentally invigorated throughout the high holidays including yoga, origami, story walks, healthy snack-making, team-building exercises, tefillah, and time to socialize. Babysitters have been carefully selected to enhance the children’s experiences and to give them a sense of warmth and consistency from week to week. Students have been asked to weigh-in and make choices about certain class structures and activities. Partnerships with organizations such as the Shaker Nature Center are being explored. Kids are collecting beads to wear on personalized necklaces that indicate particular learning they have mastered or programs they have participated in. Students, even those who aren’t frequent flyers in our programs, are always invited to participate in what the group is doing. At this point, the idea of what we once called (and may continue to call) The Open Door Academy (TODA) is quite literally an open door for all students and families to experiment with what learning suits them. And the list of strategies to see what works and what doesn’t for us goes on and on. As Rabbi Scott and I, the Va’ad, parents, kids, and any interested congregants weigh in and participate in upcoming conversations about the vision and goals we have for our education program, we will need to put my motto to use: “Try it and see what happens.” The bottom line is, I don’t have my strategies neatly organized. I don’t know the best way to structure Shabbat mornings or the way to ensure that every learner (from the youngest child in our congregation to the senior in high school...and beyond) gets what he/she needs. But I know that taking risks, inquiring and experimenting with strategies, while putting my “worst case scenario” questions to the test, will continue to be part of the process. And please, share your strategies with me. What’s the worst that could happen?

SISTERHOOD NEWS

Shalom. We hope that everyone had a very meaningful fast and that all of your holidays were filled with spirituality, joy and love of family and friends. I am writing this article before Yom Kippur which is a bit early so I know that I will have more to share in my next article! Please mark your calendars for Short Story Night on Monday, November 14

th, at 7:30pm at the Billowitz’s

home. Please see the flyer on page 15 for more information. We are so excited for our events coming up at the end of October. We had more than 25 women attend the Sukkot luncheon. Sisterhood Shabbat on October 29th has over 40 women signed up for parts in the service! We are so excited to be honoring Lois Novikoff and Nina Rosner as Sisterhood’s Women of the Year for their dedication to Sisterhood and the Synagogue. I would like to thank Ruth Hatchuel for organizing the morning, and her committee for engaging so many women of CST in this wonderful Shabbat. We know there are a couple of things that you keep hearing from us over and over again and we must apologize for being repetitive, but they are really important. We are still looking for 2 or 3 brave women to take Sisterhood forward at Shaarey Tikvah. We would be happy to mentor new leadership for this important auxiliary of the Shul. I (Roberta) stepped in 14 years ago to recreate Sisterhood at CST and to keep it viable, when the auxiliary was going to fold. I felt that our synagogue needed a Sisterhood. We have been blessed with an active, multigenerational Sisterhood since then. We are stepping down as Co-Presidents and we need one or more of you to step up. Please contact me at 216-765-8328 or rkkaplan@yahoo.com for more conversation about this opportunity to give back to our community. You get back a lot more than you give!! We will conclude by reminding you again that we still have items in the gift shop for sale, now at 70% off of their original price due to the need to close the gift shop. We are selling these items below cost. Please take a minute to look in the gift shop and see if there is something there that you might like to purchase for a gift or for yourself. Any monies we collect from the sale of these items come back as donations from Sisterhood to the shul. We do not have a final date yet for closing of the gift shop. Please look at future communication for more information. Thank you for reading this far! May we continue to go from strength to strength, Roberta and Ruth Sisterhood Co-Presidents

Three-Way Street: Jews, Germans, and the Transnational edited by Jay Geller and Leslie Morris As German Jews emigrated in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and as exiles from Nazi Germany, they carried the traditions, culture, and particular prejudices of their home with them. At the same time, Germany—and Berlin in particular—attracted both secular and religious Jewish scholars from eastern Europe. They engaged in vital intellectual exchange with German Jewry, although their cultural and religious practices differed greatly, and they absorbed many cultural practices that they brought back to Warsaw or took with them to New York and Tel Aviv. After the Holocaust, German Jews and non-German Jews educated in Germany were forced to reevaluate their essential relationship with Germany and Germanness as well as their notions of Jewish life outside of Germany. This interdisciplinary collection spans the fields of history, literature, film, theater, architecture, philosophy, and theology as it examines the lives of significant emigrants. The book is available now from the publisher's website, University of Michigan Press.
