September 2012—5772
Dear Friends,
I get up early in the morning and come home
late at night. That’s when I feel it the most. I can
tell the High Holy Days are coming, by the air…
and the spiders. True, we don’t have much of a
change of seasons here in West LA/Santa Monica,
but it’s enough. Still, around this time of the year,
despite the possibility that there might be another
heat spell, I can feel it. There’s a bit more moisture
in the early morning and late night air that takes a
little longer to dissipate at a day’s beginning and is
felt earlier in the evening. For me, becoming aware
of these growing changes and inevitable progressions is comforting and anxiety provoking – mostly the latter. More so than any reminders I can put
on my calendar, the changes in the air inform me
how on time or late (usually late) I am writing my
High Holy Day sermons (I’m never ahead of
schedule).
Strangely, I find some comfort in receiving and
absorbing these subtle indicators. Like any of us, I
try to stay aware of how much a part I am of Everything and how much Everything is a part of me –
and that connectedness, more often than not, is often shoved down the priority of life because of the
appointments, meetings, concerns and commitments with which my days are overfilled. Then, a
slight edge of coolness in the morning or the night
tells me that there is another calendar and schedule
with which I am intrinsically and eternally intertwined – and I feel grateful, even though I still
have too much to write! And aren’t we all supposed to be writing, in the Book of Life, at this
time of the year?
Then, there are the spiders. I gotta tell you, spiders are among my least favorite components of
the Everything. They make me “utsy.” I know
that’s not fair to the spiders, who are serving as
very organic exterminators for flying insects (also
not on my favorite list). They seem to be everywhere at this time of year casting huge webs across
outdoor doorways, sidewalks and other paths. I
usually see the webs spread between doorways be-
fore I walk into them since
they are often
where there is
a light so that
the spider can
take advantage
of the insects
that will be
attracted to the
glow (they’re
not dumb). It’s
the ones they
weave across
sidewalks that
Rabbi Neil
take me by
surprise. It’s
not infrequent that I walk into them at night. Deep
down inside I know that it’s much more upsetting
to the to the spider than to me (after all I destroyed
its tedious, patiently woven, and, yes, I’ll admit it,
beautiful web that enables it to survive.) Even
though I never feel that way at the instant of contact and in the immediate aftermath of entanglement, still, I know the spiders are as vital as the
changes in the air. Once again, I am grateful.
Our very Southern California fall is here and
with it comes a bit more coolness, a bit more moisture in the air, spiders and our High Holy Days.
May we all know and appreciate that we are all
small but important pieces within a web of creation
that moves in cycles of inevitability. In that strong
and delicate orb, in which so much happens intrinsically, we write our pages in the Book of Life. We
take and make this annual opportunity to weave
our hopes and dreams for our lives in the year to
come, knowing full well that we cannot anticipate
all the obstacles and changes in the weather that
will come our way. And we are grateful.

Presidents’ Message
Mark Litvack
As we approach the Jewish New
Year, I feel committed, as I am sure
every President at every Temple in
America does, to turn my monthly
newsletter column to “Newness”. But before one turns to new, I
feel I must look back one more time
– and then I will leave it behind.
First, as the summer turns to a
close, I want to say thanks to Marsha, Cynthia and especially Raymond and his summer staff for running another successful summer program. If anyone is ever interested in
seeing pure joy simply run through
our Temple and through the Gan, for
10 minutes at the Summer amp. To
see scores of children, many, if not
most, knee high running and having
fun is surely an enjoyable way to
view our community.
Second, as the final look in the
rearview mirror, I want to thank all
of you who joined in our Summer
Shabbats in the Gan. The open air
nature of these services truly enhance the “Oneness” of all and helps
make our Temple a special place.
OK. Now the look ahead. The
High Holy Days are coming up. I
know for many of you, it is the reminder event to “re-join and recommit” to our community. Once
again we return to Barnum Hall at
Santa Monica High. As most of you
know, as President I will address the
community during these Services. Hopefully, for those of you –
that is most of you – who do not
know me, please come up and simp-
ly introduce yourselves to me. I
welcome the opportunity to meet
all of you – and am
MORE than willing to listen to any
ideas, comments, thoughts, complaints about our Temple.
Our ECC and Religious School
will be going full speed ahead
soon. Each of these are fundamental
pillars of our Beth Shir Shalom community and I invite you to keep these
in mind as they start again. The collective of people who bring their
hearts and souls to these most special programs are too many to name
- but their leaders – including Helen
Nightengale who is our Temple’s
VP of Education (and will join again
with her husband Lynn to make our
Kol Nidre so special) will all be at
our High Holy Day Services and
please feel free to stop any of them
and chat with them as well.
It is my intention to introduce
more of our Temple’s officers to you
during these High Holy Day Services – and I promise you it is a
group who all welcome your
thoughts and suggestions.
Well, time for me to start to write
my comments for the High Holy
Days. If any of you want to contribute to them please feel free to send
any ideas (or even complete talks) to
me at:
[email protected].
High Holy Days at Beth Shir Shalom are for the Whole Family!
We will again offer a special Youth Service/Program for children grades K-6 th
that will run concurrently with the morning services on Rosh Hashana and Yom
Kippur. These morning programs will include age appropriate activities and services that your children can participate in while the main service is in progress.
Child care will be provided for 2-6 year olds. Pre-paid reservations are required (See your HH packets for fees and registration information or check out the
High Holy Day forms on our website.)

A note from Cantor Diane
Ladies!
Yes, you. I’m talking to you. This article is
especially for you.
Men!
Don’t stop reading. If you love a woman, it’s
important you read this too.
Cantor Diane Ladies, I want to talk to you about kippot. Yes,
kippot. You know... a yarmulke! Have you
noticed any of my many kippot? I love them. They are beautiful,
and with more and more female clergy and more and more interested community members, there is a wide variety of styles, colors, and materials to fit (not only) everyone’s taste but hairstyle! I
usually wear beaded kippot because they sit on my curly hair easily. I have one with blue beads, one with rainbow beads, one with
pink beads, and a new gorgeous copper and blue one that was
made by a member of the Beth Shir Shalom family! When I reach
for a kippah, I enjoy thinking about my mood and how I can reflect that mood with the kippah I choose.
An orthodox man would wear his kippah full time. Others
choose to wear one every time he/she enters a synagogue. Since
there are no rules or even traditions as to when a woman should
wear a kippah (and because as a Reform Jew it is my responsibility to think before I act), I very consciously choose when I do and
do not wear one. I make sure it is meaningful when I do. I don’t
wear one during rehearsals or staff meetings or when I’m on the
computer answering emails. I wear a kippah when it is time to let
go of the “day to day” activities and transform into a new cognitive space. Placing a kippah on my head is a signal to myself that
the experience that now lies ahead is one for sharing, contemplating, relating, feeling, knowing. I place it on my head before Shabbat begins. I place it on my head when I’m attending a life-cycle
event. I place it on my head every time I am with a student and
we open the ark to take out the Torah.
I appreciate the fact that because it is traditional for men to
wear a kippah, many men who come to celebrate Shabbat with us
simply pop one on their heads all the time. I admire their desire to
be a part of the spiritual experience in that traditional and transformative way. I also appreciate that it is difficult for women to
do the same because it is not part of our history. I understand the
concern that the fabric ones readily available might ruin a good
hair day, don’t fit correctly, and just feel plainly foreign to a female head. However, I really want to invite the women out there
to try it out. The next time you walk into a Shabbat celebration,
consider taking this transformative journey with me. Consciously
decide to leave your day behind, and enter a new space both mentally and physically as you cross the threshold. Consider placing a
kippah on your head as a symbol to yourself and to those around
you that your transition has begun. I know it may feel awkward at
first, but allow yourself to enjoy it. If you are the only
woman with a kippah on, that’s okay! You and I can
start a trend together.
I know what some of you are going to say next... I
don’t have a feminine kippah. Good news! Ten gorgeous kippot from www.byadokippot.com will be at the
synagogue for anyone to use by the time this article is
published. If you are interested in purchasing one of
your own, this is a fantastic website to check out. The
designer even offers instructions for you to make your
own! Those instructions follow for those of you who are
crafty.
Okay, men. Here is the message that is just for
you. If one of the women you love is interested in trying
a kippah, please encourage her. Allow her the opportunity to get the nourishment from putting it on that you
do. Support her in her search for meaning and support her desire
for an equal presence in Jewish practice.
The High Holy Days are right around the corner. As I write
this, I am busily preparing for those days and am truly looking
forward to the transformative experience of participating in those
services. I look forward to the moment when I take a deep breath,
put my kippah on, and walk forward into what is always an intense journey. And so, women of Beth Shir Shalom, I invite you
to consider transforming with me by placing a kippah on YOUR
head as we share the Holy Days together. I’ll make sure our new
ones are there!
B’shalom,
Cantor Diane
Items needed for creating your own kippah:
1. 22 or 24 gauge wire (copper) available coated with various
colors, silver or gold (be sure to check that your wire will go
through bead holes).
2. pliers and cutters available with beading supplies
3. assorted beads and/or charms (amount will vary with size
and amount you want to use).
Manufactured glass beads are available at craft stores.
Handmade and semi-precious beads are available at bead
stores or on the internet.
wire or plastic hair comb
Work with approximately 24 - 36 inch lengths of wire at a
time. Rub the wire between your fingers before weaving as it will
make it softer and easier to shape. Start at the center, create a circle – with one or more beads or some type of charm--- depending
on the size and the look you want to achieve. I do one or two
rounds of plain wire before I start adding beads. Add beads as you
like.
Wrap end of wire 3-4 times around the wire to stabilize the
center. By creating loops, begin working in concentric circles.
Weave the wire end under the end of the loop, to move onto the
next loop. I usually start with 6 loops and then increase as needed
for kippah to become larger and lie fairly flat. (For example: on
row 3-increase by 3 loops by doing 2 loops in one to total 9; on
row 6 increase 3 loops to total 12. ) The total number of increases
will depend on the size of your loops, your desired finished size
and personal preferences.
You might want to sketch out a plan ahead of time for the
placement of beads. Make sure you wrap ending wire 3-4 times.
Fasten new pieces of wire by wrapping 3-4 times. Use beading
pliers and wire cutters to tighten ends and cut them close to the
kippah.
Cut 3 - 4 inch pieces of wire and attach the comb just above the
middle of the kippah in 3 places. Be sure to clip wire ends close.
Can you name these Kipah-ed curls?

Mitzvah of the Month
Say the Shema Morning and Night
As you may know, the commandment to say the Shema twice daily
comes from what is often referred to as
the Shema’s “second paragraph”, the
V’ahavta (both of which are lifted from
chapter 6 of the book of Deuteronomy).
In the V’ahavta it says:
“Speak of them…when you lie down
and when you rise up.”
The Shema becomes a pair of spiritual bookends for our waking hours.
Despite all the many ways in which
things seem to get sliced and diced during our day, no matter how much we try
to compartmentalize our living, no matter how separate we see ourselves from
nature, no matter how much we live and
form our perspectives in the little bubbles of our experience, the Shema is an
opportunity for us to acknowledge the
interconnectedness of every moment,
every one and every thing.
Try on these customs:
To concentrate on the Oneness, say
the Shema with eyes closed.
You can cover your eyes with your
hand or a tallit if you’re wearing one.
You can furrow your brow to increase a sense of centering
If you read the Shema in Hebrew or
transliteration, there’s a custom to try to
emphasize the Oneness by accentuating
or “elongating” the letter Daled (the
“D” sound) at the end of the word Echad (not easy to do since we produce
that sound with an “explosive” movement of our tongue off the roofs of our
mouths). Sounds a bit funny – but try it!
It’s traditional for parents to say the
Shema (or sing it) with their young children at bedtime.
Notice that the letter Ayin (a letter
with no sound of its own without a
vowel) at the beginning and the letter
Daled at the end are larger and bolder
than all the other letters. This imitates
the way the Shema is written in the Torah. Two explanations:
The letters Ayin and Daled together
spell the word “eyd” which means witness, i.e., no one can say the Shema for
us. We must each “bear witness” to the
unity and oneness of All.
Were the Ayin to be replaced by Hebrew’s other silent letter, Aleph, and the
5
Daled by the letter it most resembles,
Reysh, the meaning of the Shema would
be completely transformed into:
“Perhaps, Israel, the Eternal our God,
the Eternal is another!”
Here are the Hebrew, transliteration
and two English translations (the conventional translation and the one we use
at Beth Shir Shalom):
Shema Yis-ra-eyl, A-do-nai E-lo-hey
-nu A-do-nai e-chad.
Hear, O Israel, the Lord (Eternal)
our God, the Lord (Eternal) is One.
Hear, this Israel, the Unity-of-All is
God; Everything is One.
Ba-ruch sheym k’vod mal-chu-to l’o
-lam va-ed.
Blessed be the name of His glorious
kingdom forever and ever.
There is blessing in the Honored
Name within Everything for all time.

The Blowing of The Shofar: priceless
Granddaughter saying ”Hi Savta” at
Shabbat: melts my heart!
To this day, I still get excited about September. I
love new beginnings, the excitement of the first day of
school and the sweetness of the Jewish New Year. The
traditions my family had at this time of year brings back
warm memories. It warms my heart to see my children
and their families continue these traditions and create
new ones. Now is the time for you to be creating your
family’s traditions. What better time to begin coming to
Family Shabbat Services? On Friday September 7th, we
will be having a Family Shabbat Service at 6:00 PM,
preceded by “Shabbat as a Picnic” at 5:00 PM. This service is geared to the young child and their family. It is
held the 1st Friday of each month. I strongly recommend
you make this part of your family time each month. I
promise you will get that “Shabbat Feeling deep in your
heart.”
Be sure to make reservations early for childcare during the High Holiday services. It is available for children ages 2-6 by pre-paid, pre-registration only. Space is
limited. This year, as always, the Early Childhood Center’s teachers are
supervising the
High Holiday
childcare program.
Beth Shir
Shalom’s Children’s Services are
unique. Rabbi Neil
and Cantor Diane
go to great lengths
to make these services very special.
All the children
have an opportunity to blow a shofar! Join our community for Rosh Hashanah Children’s Service on Monday,
September 17th at 1:30 pm. Tashlich at the beach follows at 3:00 PM. where we had a drum circle last year.
Yom Kippur’s Children Service is Wednesday, September 26th at 2:00 PM.
You have taken the time to select our wonderful preschool and synagogue for your child and family. For the
New Year 5773 make it your resolution to become more
involved with the synagogue and its wonderful programs
for your young family. Memories, traditions and lifelong
friendships start now.
In my family we will be celebrating many simchas
early in the new year. From baby showers and bridal
showers, the upcoming birth of our second grandchild
(due on Rosh Hashana!) for Josh and Freya, a Bris, a
Shabbat Rehearsal Dinner, and the Wedding of our
daughter, Rachel to her fiancé Mark, right after Simcha
Torah! Our plate is full of blessings. We will, of course,
be celebrating these lifecycle events with our large, extended family. But when I look over the guest lists, I
realize that so many of our friends who will share these
with us had their beginnings at the synagogue during our
children’s early years and continued to grow. It is because of this I say to you:
MEMBERBHIP AND INVOLVEMENT IN YOUR
SYNAGOGUE: PRICELESS!
Wishing you a Sweet New Year,
Marsha
