From Our Rabbi
HIGH HOLIDAY SERMON “RE-CAP”
By Rabbi Robert S. Pilavin
osh HaShanah #1. I spoke about the heartfelt
reactions of one of our young adults (“Yonina”) to
my 2011 Rosh Hashanah sermon on Israel. She felt that
High Holiday sermons should focus on selfimprovement – not the ongoing conflict in the Middle
East. She also felt that a narrow
focus on Israel distracts us from
our larger mission of being citizens
of the world. She also felt that I
was too harsh on Israel’s
neighbors.
I opined that Yonina and
like-minded peers might find such
concerns addressed by the life of
Menachem Begin. I cited a new
biography by Daniel Gordis:
Menachem Begin: The Battle for
Israel’s Soul. The late Israeli Prime
Minister - often derided as a racist,
militant and demagogue - proved
to be quite the opposite. He
rescued Vietnamese boat people
and the black Jews of Ethiopia
(hardly a racist). He brokered the
only peace treaty with an Arab
neighbor – Egypt (hardly a militant). He risked his own
life on behalf of both the democratic process and to
avoid civil war (hardly a demagogue).
I respectfully disagreed with Yonina. The legacy
of Begin (particularly if viewed through Gordis’
nuanced account) shows that Israel is an appropriate
topic for Rosh Hashanah. In supporting Israel, we are
engaged in self-improvement and we simultaneously
make the world a better place. (I then ended with our
annual Israel Bond Appeal).
osh Hashanah #2. I noted another new book:
Joseph Telushklin’s Rebbe: The Life and Teachings
of Menachem M. Schneerson. I remarked: “I am not a
Lubavitcher in either belief or in practice....but after
examining Rabbi Telushkin’s book, I am quite open to
his claim that the Rebbe was – and is – the most
influential Rabbi in modern history.”
I then speculated on what the Rebbe would have
R
R
said about the recent landmark study of U.S. Jews by the
Pew Research Center – and offered an answer from his
writings.
I also noted that the Rebbe instituted ten mitzvah
campaigns: tefillin for males and Shabbat candles for
females, Torah educatioin for children
and Torah study for adults, giving
tzedakah (charity) and loving your
neighbor as yourself, mezuzahs on our
doorposts and kosher food in our
kitchens, the use of the mikveh as part
of married life, and acquiring a basic
Jewish library at home. I suggested ten
mitzvah
campaigns
for
our
congregation.
The Rebbe connected with
individuals. I indicated a desire to
meet one-on-one with you. We’d
replace the annual “physical” with an
annual “spiritual!”
Based on a quote of the Rebbe I
suggested the formation of a “Bywhat-right-do-you-retire?” committee
for prayer, study, and social action.
I noted the Rebbe’s warm
connections to many (Jews and gentiles) with whom he
had strong religious differences. I asked if this is true of
us.
I mentioned stories of non-Lubavitchers who
were touched by the Rebbe. One of them was Howard
Feinstein, of blessed memory, a 30+ year member of our
shul.
The Rebbe had great influence on political
leaders, including Presidents, Prime Ministers,
Governors, Senators, Congressmen and Mayors. He
didn’t make appointments with them. They made
appointments with him.
When asked how he had the stamina to attend to
so many Jews, he said: “every soul is a diamond. Can
one grow tired of counting diamonds?”
I concluded: “And that’s the part of his legacy I
hope you’ll take with you. [He] was remarkable for
more than his scholarship, activism, or advice. He taught

ol Nidre. I noted the imminent 50th anniversary of
the Broadway premier of “Fiddler on the Roof.” I
gave background on this beloved musical based on a new
book by Alisa Solomon: Wonder of Wonders: A Cultural
History of Fiddler on the Roof. I noted that the 50th
anniversary was but a pretext for exploring Yom Kippur
themes:
When Tevye speaks of Tradition, he means the
real deal. At the library last week I saw a display of 16
books on Rosh Hashanah. 13 were cookbooks. Tradition
is more than menus. And while we’re on the topic, what
are we serving our guests next week for Sukkot and
Shemini Atzeret? Tradition is not a condiment. It’s the
main course. It’s about balance.
Tevye had a vision of Jewish life that he’d pursue
if he were a rich man. We are infinitely wealthier than
he. Have our Jewish goals kept pace?
We say the most important thing is to be a
K
mensch, but how? Is our untrained intuition better than
the Torah? Perchik is a cautionary tale.
The Jewish family is in distress. Our young
people are struggling to find appropriate partners.
Anatevka reminds us that the community could help.
Even with our best efforts, however, Chava will
sometimes meet a Fyedka.
The creators of Fiddler worried that it was “too
Jewish.” They feared that it would close after the last
Hadassah group had seen it. But the inner life of the
shtetl stirred the hearts of people throughout the world ...
perhaps we do a better business when we don’t water
down our product. L’Chayim!
izkor – We noted that the theological basis for
Yizkor on Yom Kippur is the belief that the dead, no
less than the living, are in need of atonement. Since they
are no longer physically with us, we cannot pay them
back. It is still possible, however, to pay forward. By
performing mitzvot in their honor and in their memory,
we extend their legacy by “padding” their resume.

ASK THE RABBI
Rabbi,
I have a problem every Yom Kippur. Kol Nidre is at 6:15 PM. Candle lighting is 6:20pm, so I can't get there
on time because I light candles. Some of the women were discussing this as we arrived late for services. Every
year it's the same.
Thoughts?
B
Dear B –
The posted candle-lighting time is usually 18 minutes before sundown. That is the deadline for lighting
candles, not the precise moment to light them.
The solution is to light candles just before you want to leave for Kol Nidre.
For instance, the candles could have been lit at 5:45 or 6:00 PM on Friday.
(By the way, this happens routinely during spring and summer. Our Friday night services are uniformly at
6:30 PM from roughly May to September - even though sundown may be an hour away. The candles are lit
before going to services.)

isterhood:
A congenial relationship or
companionship among women; mutual female
esteem, concern, and support. And, if you joined us at
our paid up membership dinner on October 20th at the
synagogue you felt this very special relationship
around the room. Our Mishan Hall was filled with
laughter thanks to entertainment by Robin Fox, “Grand
Champion” of the Ladies Laughter Competition.
Complete with good eats the evening was a huge
success. The Sisterhood would like to thank our great
committee, and all of the “extra hands” for
orchestrating such a lovely event and for helping us to
gain new members with this wonderful launch to our
year.
Our next book chat is right around the corner.
Meet us in the synagogue library on November 12th at
7:15 p.m. as we discuss “The Invention of Wings” by
Sue Monk Kidd. If you think you are too late, think
again – everyone is welcome for this thought
provoking evening – even if you haven’t read the book
you will soon see that you have life experiences to
share right along with our book characters; you will
surely feel a special camaraderie in the room. The next
book will be “The Interestings”, by Meg Wolitzer.
(Mid-Winter, stay tuned for confirmed date).
Last year we began a unique event for our
synagogue in the establishment of the Woman of Valor
breakfast. This year, we have chosen to honor Michelle
Fields for her dedication and passion for Sisterhood
S
since 1991. All of those who know Michelle, or have
worked by her side know full well that she is the
embodiment of our mission: to promote the welfare of
the Jewish community, at home and globally through
social, financial and benevolent activities. Join us for
this heartwarming morning as our Sons of Israel
community comes out to honor Michelle Fields and
recognize her dedication to Daughters of Israel and our
congregation on Sunday, November 16th at 9:30 am.
Admission to this event is $10.00 per person. (RSVPs
are due by November 8th).
And as we look ahead, yes….we feel like
dancing….again. Speed Limit returns for a night of
Rock’n Roll on Saturday evening December 13th in
the Mishan Hall. Save the date, and bring your friends.
Anyone who was there last year will surely be on hand
to repeat a fun night with friends and community.
As the year evolves we will need many sets of
hands to expedite all of our commitments to
Congregation Sons of Israel. Even a “small bite” of
volunteering on any committee will add to our mutual
success. We look forward to seeing all of you as the
year progresses!
Together we can make a difference. Please

Torah Tots. We celebrated all of the Fall Holidays
lesson before Thanksgiving.
together: we made mini sukkahs, we ate in the
Synagogue Sukkah, and we paraded with our Torahs
for Simchat Torah. Now, we are working on Mitzvot,
May we all have much to be thankful for... We will talk
to you soon when we are getting all set for Chanukah:
cooking, parties, shows and gelt.

the VOICE • 8 CHESHVAN - 8 KISLEV 5775
Ritual News
By Steve Wertheim
s David Binder mentioned in his remarks at Neilah,
the amount of work required to get ready for the
Yom Tovim is extraordinary. The burden of getting the
seating done, assigning and reassigning the honors,
managing the honors during the holidays and all the
physical preparation, falls upon the shoulders of some
very dedicated people.
So thank you and yasher koach to the entire
Ritual Committee for the tremendous help in getting
ready for the High Holidays.
Our new Koren Siddurim are now in the pews
and fully operational. In last month’s notes, I indicated
that we had an anonymous donation of 100 Siddurim.
While the books are anonymous, the donation did not
need to be. So a big thank you to Mike Katz and the
entire Men’s Club, for their very generous gift to the
A
shul. The Men’s Club Siddurim will remain blank until
they’re dedicated by members of the shul at $36 per
book.
We received a great deal of positive feedback on
the new padded seats and we will be thrilled to increase
our number of padded rows for next year. If you are
interested in donating a block of chairs, please contact
me directly.
As we prepared for the holidays, we discovered
that several of our white Torah mantles are in need of
replacement and several of our Torah scrolls require
minor repair. For Simchat Torah, we asked honorees to
make donations in multiples of Chai to support those
improvements. If you are planning on making a
donation to the shul, for any reason, please consider
designating the monies for the “Torah Fund”.
The PTO of Sons of Israel is selling honors & memories!!
We now have a program in which you can purchase trees for Israel.
The cost will be $ 18 per tree
