Song does not explain, it expresses; it gives witness to the
trans-literal . . . Song is one of two ways (silence is the other)
of giving witness to the transcendent. — Eugene Peterson In an interview, Terry Riley, a contemporary
minimalist composer said, “If there is no
seduction, there is no music.” To seduce means
to persuade someone to do something; to entice;
to lure. Music has the ability to entice, distract
and lure people to something else, something
different than what they’ve been doing. It is
immediate, affecting the full range of human
emotion. The combinations of pitches, rhythms,
timbres, durations and dynamics can, in the
words of musicologist Nicholas Cook, “unlock
Cantor Jessica Roskin
the most hidden contents of [one's] spiritual
Temple Emanu-El
and emotional being.”
That moment — that emotional transformation — is what
cantors aspire to, with one major caveat. We create that emotional
transformation and move it into the sacred - into a religious experience.
We have to entice, lure, and yes, seduce people towards holiness, to
elevate spirits and emotions; emulate and recall that moment when
Jacob said, “Achein yeish Adonai bamakom hazeh, v’anochi lo yadati.”
“Truly God is in this place, but I did not know it.”
Even when people don’t resonate with the message of a prayer,
or are distracted from worship by worldly concerns, music can disarm
the rational mind and embrace the sacred moment. We can intensify
it by connecting to the text. Past president of the URJ, Eric Yoffie
wrote, “Our mission in worship is to sanctify the ordinary and uplift
the everyday.” This vision cannot be achieved only by the music on
the page. It is essential that we on the pulpit make the music a part of
ourselves; become absorbed in it, conveying the deeper meaning of
the text and the sacred passion of the music.
Music reaches deep into our psyche; music symbolizes.
Sacred music performs a sacred function - not because of what it is,
but because of what it does. Sacred music seeks elevation, both from
the text it sets and the musical plan with which it realizes that setting.
Music helps us connect to the text. Years ago my colleague, Cantor
William Sharlin said, “The sacred itself is not wholly independent; it is
the end result of the transformation of the ordinary into an elevated
state.” The content is not as important as the attitude imposed upon it.
As your cantor, it is my challenge to bring you to an emotional
place that is different from where you were before you walked into the
sanctuary. I hope the music takes you to that elevated state, when
you are able to forget, for even a little while, the distractions in your
daily life. That is what Shabbat is all about.

Our Endowment Funds At Work
We greatly appreciate the enhancements provided by the following funds of the
Grafman Endowment Fund enriching our congregation over the past few months:
Mary K. Brodnax Music Fund and the Ziff Cultural Arts Fund for underwriting the wonderful
“Worship Band” and equipment for performances at our monthly “Food Theme Friday”
Shabbat services in January and February.
Gail & Jeffrey Bayer Family Fund for Religious Education and the Ives Family Religious School Fund
for enabling Rabbi Haas and one of our lead Discovery School teachers to attend the intensive Reggio Training
Conference in Italy during the first week in March along with 50 educators who teach in Jewish preschools.
“OurTemple” Worship Anywhere Fund for covering the annual services fees to support our webcast of
Shabbat services and special events. This is a wonderful service to connect those spiritually to
our congregation, even if they are not able to be physically in attendance.
Hermione & Edward Friend Community Fund for providing the materials for our Sisterhood’s
Tikkun Olam event – helping volunteers make fleece hats, activity kits and get well cards for
children receiving treatment at Children’s of Alabama.

Buggy Bucks: The Perfect Gift!
Please give Buggy Bucks gift cards to your friends,
family, and employees for any celebration or occasion.
It works like this: You purchase the Buggy Bucks gift cards for Publix or Piggly Wiggly. They work just
like any gift card, but these stores give us a discount on the total amount and those proceeds go directly to the temple General Fund.
We take cash, checks, and can even transfer money directly from your bank! We can mail the Buggy Bucks directly to you or we can mail them directly to the recipient with your personalized card.
Now, what could be easier than that? Contact Loretta Newfield at 205-933-8037,
to order yours today!
