From Rabbi Holtz’s Study
Two big changes are coming for the High Holydays! One involves the timing of Reform services, and the other is about the Reform prayerbook. Read on.
While the High Holydays are primarily about the worship service, they also have a strong family component. Many of you are trying to attend
Rosh Hashanah services and also get to lunch at a loved one’s house at a reasonable hour. Or you’re attending on Yom Kippur but also need to feed your children. To accomplish either of those, you really need to leave Temple between 12:00-12:30. One of the trickiest things about leading High Holyday services is achieving the balance between providing a full experience on the one hand, and making the service too long on the other. I feel very strongly that we should not shortchange the congregation by skipping prayers we only get to say once a year, and at the same time I am mindful that it’s hard to run a marathon if you haven’t been in training for it. Over the past few years, we’ve been working to tighten up the Reform morning services on both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We feel that we’ve done just about all we can to shorten the service, and we’re still ending later than we’d like. So, this year, we will be starting the Reform morning services at 9:30am, rather than at 10:00. It’s important to note that the service itself will be the same, so if you arrive at your “regular” time, you will miss a half-hour of the prayers you usually hear. Of course, I’m hoping that you’ll all be in your seats at 9:30am!
The other change relates to the High Holyday prayer book, the machzor. On the first day of Rosh Hashanah, and on Yom Kippur, we will still be using the familiar Gates of Repentance. However, on 2nd day Rosh Hashanah, we will be using the Reform movement’s new machzor, Mishkan haNefesh. This is in anticipation of switching completely next year, assuming that the reviews are positive. It’s a wonderful prayerbook, and there are some significant changes in it. So, if you’d like to get a sense of what it’s like, and be able to offer an opinion on making the switch next year, I encourage you to join us on 2nd day Rosh Hashanah at 9:30am.
Ultimately, what makes the High Holydays work for each of us is neither the prayerbook nor the service time. Rather it is what each of us personally brings to the season in general, and to the synagogue in particular. I hope that you are able to be fully present, and that you will find the Holydays meaningful and fulfilling.
Renée, Yoni, Avi, and Shira join me in wishing you and yours a sweet, healthy, and peaceful New Year. Peace and blessings,
Rabbi David Holtz
Dear Friends,
Important Reminder: Reform morning services for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur will begin at 9:30am!

Notes from Cantor Margot E.B. Goldberg
Music is a powerful tool. Music stirs emotions, it sets the scene for everything from a romantic dinner to a horror movie. Music ignites memory, from Pomp and Circumstance, to the national anthem, to hearing the song you danced to at your bar/bat mitzvah, prom, or wedding. Music makes us feel.
Nusach is the word that describes the use of music during worship to tell us what time of day and year it is. Even if you haven’t been steeped in nusach you know how this works. It’s like walking into a mall in December and knowing just what time of year it is by the music that is playing. Nusach can also evoke emotion. Think about how you feel every time you hear Hava Nagila. What about the sound of a traditional service and the memory of sitting with your grandfather and playing with his tzitzit? For me, it is the memory of the woman in the choir loft who sang the same short line in English at the end of the Kaddish prayer each week. Her kol d’mamah dakah, still clear voice, moved me every time.
How often you went to services, what kind of synagogue you attended, and if you went to a Jewish camp were all factors that determined the nusach that you grew up with. Did you grow up in a traditional or more progressive setting? Did you grow up with Katchko and Alter or Debbie Friedman and Klepper/Freedlander? No matter what you remember from your childhood, the nusach, the soundtrack of your Judaism was influenced by the popular music of the time.
Last year during Rosh Hashanah, the women of the quartet and I sang the Wailin’ Jennys’ song One Voice as a Sermon Anthem. I was excited and nervous. Excited to sing this beautiful music with these talented women, yet nervous that this popular song performed in a worship setting might not go over well. And yet incorporating popular music into nusach is typical. All of our worship music throughout the ages has been influenced by the music of the time and the community.
This year the choir, quartet, and I will share another piece of popular music during Rosh Hashanah services. The second day of Rosh Hashanah falls on September 11 this year, a difficult day in our American lives. We will share the song, Prayer from the Broadway musical, Come From Away. The musical tells the story of the passen-gers from the planes grounded in Gander, Newfoundland on September 11, 2001. This song shares how their religion helped them through that horrible day. The song Prayer begins with a “plane person” recalling and then singing a song from his childhood, an anonymous text typically called the Prayer of Saint Francis, a widely known Christian prayer for peace. As he begins to sing, he is joined by a “Gander-ite,” who on that fateful day reveals he was born Jewish and during WWII was sent to Canada as a small child with instructions never to reveal his heritage. The “Gran-derite” beautifully layers in Oseh Shalom to the music. Then a Hindu prayer is also added, creating beautiful harmonies of music and faith.
Once again I am excited. Excited to share this beautiful piece of music, excited for the hard work of our volunteers coming to fruition, and excited to add this beautiful piece to the musical tradition of Temple Beth Abraham. But once again, I am also nervous. Nervous that the congregation will not understand that the inclusion of this piece is Jewish music, that this is yet another way to worship, and that this is how our nusach has evolved throughout time, bringing us to this rich musical heritage.
As always Barry, Tamir and I want to wish you a Shanah Tovah u’m’tukah, a Happy, Healthy and Sweet New Year.
L’shalom, Cantor Margot E.B. Goldberg
Dear Friends, Shalom!

From the Director of Education4Rabbi Allison Berlinger
Learning B’yachad!
Welcome back and Shana Tovah! I hope that the summer has been rejuvenating and relaxing for everyone. Here at the Religious School we have been quite busy preparing for an amazing 2018-2019 school year. The summer months were spent finalizing the plans for our new Hebrew High School program. After many months of meetings, research, discussions, and years of observations we are excited to share our new program HaMakom – The Place: A Place of Jewish learning, living, and exploration for all 7th-12th graders at Temple Beth Abraham.
Over the years we have tried many different models and structures. Some have worked better than others. So last Winter, we began a series of conversations with different members of the congregation to find out their thoughts on Hebrew High. Here is a summary of what was shared:
From our teens we learned that they have tough and competing schedules, they want to be with their friends, they want to learn and they want to have some choice, they need to have some down time, their school year in the Spring semes-ter becomes very difficult with their Hebrew school commitment.
From our parents we learned that parents want their teens to remain connected to the Religious School post Bar/Bat Mitzvah, they want their teens to enjoy their experience, they understand the importance of their teens having a social circle in Hebrew High, they want post Bar/Bat Mitzvah education to be relevant to their teen’s needs.
From our faculty we learned that they want students who come to class with regularity, they want students who are interested in learning, they want students who are interested in connecting and building relationships with other teens, they want to share their passion for Jewish education with your teens.
As a result of these many conversations and research of successful teen programs around the country we are proud to introduce HaMakom – The Place.
In this new program, we strive to create a sacred space – a makom – where all our high school students in grades 7-12 are welcome to gather, explore, learn and work together in Jewish study, dialogue, and social action.
Through grade-specific core classes, electives, trips and alternate day opportunities for engagement, we hope to nurture the next generation of learners and leaders in our Jewish community.
Many of our teens have been at Temple Beth Abraham since they were little. We have taught them that they count, that their voice matters and that our community values their involvement.
At this age, they are in between so many transitions - from middle school to high school, high school to college – where they are told to make choices, make decisions, tell us what they want to learn and do.
Dear Friends, Shalom!

In our Hebrew High program, we want to provide them with that space. A place that is for them, where they can choose and design what they want to learn, where they can be nurtured and mentored in making those choices and decisions.
Our new model for Monday nights at TBA, was developed with the following goals in mind:
• Build community
• Provide high quality curricular content in an informal, engaging environment
• Afford students the ability to make choices for their own learning.
• Select curriculum that is relevant, age appropriate and interesting to students
• Increase post B’nei Mitzvah retention
Each student will have two classes: one core class and one course of their choosing that will change throughout the year. In addition to Monday nights, there will be a travel component for each core curriculum

Friday, September 14 at 10:00am Letters to My Palestinian Neighbors by Yossi Klein Halevi. How does Israel make peace with a neighbor who refuses to acknowl-edge its national existence? Who portrays Jews as monsters responsible for 9/11, as collaborators with the Nazis in a Holocaust that never ex-isted, who kills Palestinians to harvest their organs, who secretly rules the world. Halevi uses his Letters to try to explain who are the Jewish people and what are their beliefs. In so doing, he hopes Palestinians will come to better understand their Jewish neighbors. He wants to tell the Jewish story, but will Palestinians read the letters translated into Arabic and offered free on line? The TBA Book Club will!
Tuesday, September 25 at 7:00pmNine Folds Make a Paper Swan by Ruth GilliganAt the start of the twentieth century, a young girl and her family emigrate from Lithuania in search of a better life in America, only to land on the Emerald Isle instead. In 1958, a mute Jewish boy locked away in a mental institution outside of Dublin forms an unlikely friendship with a man consumed by the story of the love he lost nearly two decades earlier. And in present-day London, an Irish journalist is forced to confront her conflicting notions of identity and family when her Jewish boyfriend asks her to make a true leap of faith. These three arcs, which span generations and intertwine in revelatory ways, come together to tell the haunting story of Ireland’s all-but-forgotten Jewish community.

TBA Builds for THE FUTUREIt is very exciting to announce that Temple Beth Abraham has entered into an Agreement for the design and construction of our Phase I building enhancement. Our chosen architectural firm is Levin/Brown. They are the leading architects for synagogues in the United States. Over 150 synagogues have been built or remodeled under their guidance. Phase I will consist of a complete remodeling and expansion of the existing lobby, and the construction of a new lobby entrance on the parking lot level. This lower lobby will feature an elevator to accommodate our members and guests. The Bridges Building Task Force is now engaged with Levin/Brown in the development of the design. We hope to have plans for all to see in the next few months.
Thanks to those members who generously contributed to our Bridges campaign. Those who did not yet contribute or wish to increase their contribution are invited to do so. You can learn more about the campaign or make a pledge by visiting tba-ny.org/bridges/
BEGINNING ANEW: Rosh Hashanah Service Re-inventedSeptember 10, 10:00-11:30am at the Shames JCC
The High Holidays come at a time of transition, the end of summer, the start of the school year, the end of the Torah and the beginning of it, too. This year we will examine the role of change in our lives and how Judaism and its traditions help us along. Also, we’ll take on Isaac’s role in the story. What in the world was he thinking? What did he do, and, importantly, what would you do in his place? As before, our service will be interactive, inclusive, and provocative. Group discussions, examination of the traditions, poems, prayers, and songs will all be a part of it. The program will be geared for adults and children over 10 (who must be accompanied by their parents). We regret that babysitting is not available for this program.
Did you know your synagogue has its own SOCIAL WORKER?Thanks to a generous grant from UJA Federation of New York, and adminis-tered by Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS), the Partners in Caring (PIC) social worker is available to meet the mental health needs of employees, congregants and members. Your PIC social worker is Jennifer Convissor, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with extensive experience in individual counseling and group-work with every age group from preschoolers to senior citizens. She is based out of the Shames JCC on the Hudson, but can travel to your synagogue or another convenient location.
Please contact Jennifer for counseling, crisis intervention, or community referrals. The PIC grant allows for up to three confidential sessions free of cost. Please also consider reaching out to Jennifer to help develop therapeutic groups of any kind, including psycho-educational, wellness related, or specific lifestyle-related support groups. If Jennifer cannot directly meet your needs, she will make appropriate referrals through WJCS. Contact her via phone or email. She will respond within 24 hours, every weekday.

This July marks my 8th year working at the Temple. It seems like every other job I ever had has led me to work here.
I have enjoyed working here. I have met so many of you and shared your milestones. I have helped some of you with different activities, have worked very hard keeping the Temple running because after all…”mi casa es su casa,” and always, always welcomed you into my home.
Most of all, I have enjoyed the friendship that has been offered to me and my family and have been overwhelmed by the love and support that you all have showered me with in my time of need. I hope that someday I can repay all the kindness that has been given to me.
Muchas Gracias, Thank you, תודה –JAIME

IN MEMORIAMEarlier this year we lost two dear friends, Rebecca Greenfeld and a couple of months later, her husband of more than 70 years, Nathan Greenfeld. With Natey’s passing at the ripe old age of 102, the book closed on a group of seven men, who along with their wives, shared a very special and unique lifelong friendship that began in the 1920’s when the men were young boys
living in Borough Park, Brooklyn.
Through thick and thin, in good times and bad, these men supported each other with incredible humor, camaraderie, and loyalty. Their combined 19 children and bunches of grandchildren
remember all seven with tremendous fondness. They were affectionately known as:
THE NON-COUSINS
Milton Charles Harold Deitchman Robert Levine Arnold Rubin Charles Schwartz Herbert “Babe” Smolowe Nathan Greenfeld

Child or Grandchild in College?
Join our “Away@School” Program The Away@School program is our way of reminding our students that though they are out of sight, they are
still in our thoughts and an important part of our congregational family. By joining Away@School your
student(s) will receive fun packages, cards for the Jewish holidays, and messages during the year from Cantor
Goldberg, Rabbi Holtz, Rabbi Allison, and the Away@School Committee. It is easy to enroll your student on-
line, just go to the TBA website – and under Education, click on the Away@School link, or just fill out the form
below and send it to the TBA office with your check for $36.00/per student, payable to TBA with Away@School
in the memo line. You can also call the TBA office to pay by credit card. Be sure to sign up soon so your child
receives the next package for Chanukah. If you enrolled your child last year, this is a gentle reminder that you
must enroll in the Away@School program each new school year. So please re-enroll them now to continue
to receive fun packages from their TBA family! For more information about the program or to volunteer on
the committee, please contact the A@SCommittee ([email protected]).
The Away@School Committee is always in need of volunteers to assist with shopping,
Assembly, and the mailing of the packages. Please let us know which holiday(s) you are able to
help out.
