From The President
What a wonderful time of year! Our
entire congregation plus many guests
spent another year together during Yom
Kippur and Rosh Hashanah at our “home
away from home”…The Hyatt.
Under
the direction of the Men’s Club, we built
our sukkah at TBA and enjoyed a Sukkot
service on Shabbat. We also enjoyed the
Rabbi’s sukkah for several social opportunities. Last but not
least, we celebrated and danced as we unrolled and
re-rolled our Torahs on Simchat Torah.
As we return to the beginning of the Torah, I’m reminded of
some very important lessons that we learn in first few
chapters of Genesis. In the Adam and Eve story, we all
know that Eve is tempted by the serpent and both Adam and
Eve, eventually, eat an apple from the Tree of Life. And
we’re led to believe that G-d becomes angry because of
their disobedience.
However, I question whether this is the real message of the
story. Think about it. G-d puts the Tree of Life in the middle
of the Garden of Eden and says this is one thing they may
not touch or enjoy. Does G-d really think they will not be
tempted to disobey at some point?
Later, Adam hides in the bushes and G-d asks, “Where are you?”
Does G-d really not know where Adam is hiding? Does G-d really
not know what Adam has done, when asking, “What have you
done?” Finally, when confronted by G-d, Adam points the finger
at Eve saying that it was her fault and Eve blames the serpent.
I believe the real reason G-d is angry has nothing to do with
disobedience. It’s about taking responsibility for one’s own
actions. Yes, there are reasons we do certain things. Yes, we
sometimes make bad choices that can be explained by
unfortunate circumstances or were motivated by the actions of
another. However, at the end of the day, we do make our own
choices and it’s on us to own up and take responsibility for those
choices . . . good or bad.
While you’re pondering the message of my article, please also
take a look at the upcoming calendar of events at TBA. There’s
something for everyone! I look forward to seeing you at Movie
Night, Bowling, Softball, the Mystery Dinner, Family
Promise, Torah Study, or Shabbat services. Remember that
Temple Beth Ami is the place to be!

TBA Golf Classic V - March 8, 2015 at the Elkins Ranch Golf Club
Golf Tournament important update!!!
Due to low numbers we wanted to inform you that the golf tournament has been moved to March 8, 2015. Since this is one of
the most enjoyed fundraisers for the temple each year we wanted to have enough time to organize this wonderful event and we
feel that we need more time to make it successful.
I hope this did not disrupt anyone’s plans and if it did I’m sorry. I hope that you will be able to play in March.
We will be organizing a committee very soon.
Thank you for your understanding.
