Ayeka/Where
Are You?
W
hen Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, their
eyes were opened, they became aware of their nakedness,
and they hid from God among the trees of the Garden.
God called to Adam, saying “Ayeka/Where are you?” And, Adam
responded: “ I heard your voice in the Garden and I was afraid,
so I hid.”
Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiators, Secretary of State Kerry said
that history is not made by the timid, but by men and women of
courage and vision. That’s good advice for all of us. Rosh Hashanah
is a time to remember the great men and women of our past who
overcame their own hesitations to lead the world in bold new
directions. May we be inspired by their courage and when God
asks us “Ayeka?” may we respond “Hineni”/I am ready to create the
world and myself anew this year.
Janine, David and Miri, Shani and I wish all of our friends at HNT a
happy, healthy and sweet New Year.
Shalom,
Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum
The obvious question is: “Why did God ask Adam where he was?
Doesn’t God know it all?” Abraham Joshua Heschel answered
that God’s question was not about Adam’s location but his
spiritual condition. God wanted to know not where Adam was
geographically, but where he was at as a human being.
In fact, said Heschel, Ayeka is the question God asks each and every
one of us in each generation: “Where are you at?” Especially during
this High Holiday season, it’s a good question to ask ourselves.
Where are we at---in our relationships, in our careers, in our
connection to Judaism and the Jewish people? Rosh Hashanah is a
moment to pause and review our lives. What has changed for us in
the past year? What have we learned? How have we grown? How
have we healed? What were our moments of celebration? When did
we show courage? What would we like to take with us into the new
year and what would we like to lay to rest?
Aryeh Ben David is a Jewish educator who created an organization
called “Ayeka.” His goal is to create opportunities for us to connect
to Judaism in a way that impacts our personal lives. “Ayeka” will be
our congregational theme this year, and we will be using some of
Aryeh Ben David’s educational materials. He suggests a follow up
question to “Ayeka/Where are you?” God’s question was directed at
Adam and Eve hiding in the trees. Ben David asks: What trees are
we hiding behind?
C
hanging ourselves and the world can be difficult, and
sometimes we’d rather escape that responsibility. Jonah did
not want to save the city of Ninveh, so he hid from God in
the hold of a ship. Each of us has our own escape strategies, ways we
avert our eyes from responsibilities and truths we’d rather not face.
For some of us work can be a way to avoid our relationships. Others
of us escape into the world of technology.
Or, perhaps, like Moses, we hide from God’s call behind a feeling
of unworthiness. “Who am I,” said Moses “to go before Pharoah?”
Overwhelmed with the challenge of leadership, Moses went into
hiding in the land of Midian. But, he did not stay there forever. Nor
should we. In speaking of the daunting obstacles facing the

Personal
Reflections
To all of our staff, our congregants and my friends - if I have done
anything this year to hurt or offend you, I ask your forgiveness.
To all of you, I wish you shana tovah and g’mar chatima tova. May
you be inscribed for a good year.
A
t our Scholar in Residence retreat last spring, Nigel Savage
recounted to us how often Rosh Hashanah will fall just
after Labor Day and Chanukah just before Thanksgiving. I
believe the answer was something like every 73,000 years. So, at no
other time will any of us get to say, “the holidays have never been so
early!” My husband’s response was that Rosh Hashanah falls on the
1st of Tishri every year. Whether we find our rhythm in life through
the secular or the Jewish calendar is an interesting dilemma. I think
the New Year is the single time in the calendar that my rhythm and
schedule are determined primarily by our Jewish calendar.
At this time of year everything revolves around “the holidays.”
Usually there is much more space between the lazy days of summer,
the crazy beginnings of the school year and the traditional activities
our Jewish holidays bring.
O
ur family rituals around the holidays are predictable. They
are filled with tradition, feel familiar and are beloved.
Whether it’s preparing for a huge Rosh Hashana lunch
we host each year, rushing to the Kol Nidre “dash” as the pre-Yom
Kippur dinner is called among our circle of friends, breaking the
fast with chocolate cheesecake or making comfort food to serve in
our sukkah, our traditions are warm and familiar and make me love
this time of year. For the 10 days of repentance through Sukkot
and Simchat Torah, our lives really do revolve around the Jewish
calendar, rather than the secular calendar. It is a time full of shul,
family, food, friends and reflection.
As I reflect on the past year as your synagogue President, my time in
service has brought some challenges, but much satisfaction as well.
I have had the opportunity to get to know many congregants in a
unique way, as part of a spiritual community. I have been warmly
welcomed by the morning minyan contingent this year. The Friday
night regulars are such a part of my weekly routine that when I
travel, I truly miss my hour of Shabbat at HNT. I’ve enjoyed many a
coffee date or lunch with congregants I never knew well.
I
have spent many Shabbat mornings sitting on the bimah,
sharing simchas with our synagogue community. This summer
brought our first celebration of a gay marriage, a milestone for
our congregation, and I was proud to be on the bimah to share
this occasion.
As Yom Kippur approaches, we ask forgiveness not only from God
for our transgressions, but from friends, family and community
whom we may have hurt during the past year.
Shalom,
Julie Ellenhorn

will be at Mercerwood Shore Club: 4150 E. Mercer Way.
T
his year’s High Holidays begin on Wednesday, September
4 with Erev Rosh Hashanah. Due to this unusually early
date, High Holiday preparations below must be done
earlier as well. You should have already received your
High Holiday packet in the mail. In the packet you will find tickets
for all adult family members in your household and HNT’s Guide
to the High Holidays, with our Annual Appeal, service times and
important Q&A. If you have not received your packet, please
contact Nicole at 206-232-8555 x204.
Huge thanks to Aileen Okrent, Scott Perry, Florence Burstein,
Lana Finegold, Alex Sytman, Peter Michel, Mitchell Silverstein,
Mark Gaponoff, and Robin Parsons for summer planting of
donated annuals, weeding, pruning, watering and more. Removing
blackberry vines has proved challenging but our workers are
relentless.
Please note there are no youth tickets this year (through age 23).
Please remember to dress in layers for High Holiday services. Your
“too hot” may be someone else’s “too cold,” so the easiest way to “fix”
the temperature in the Sanctuary is with a sweater! Thank you.
We Need Greeters and Ushers!
We know you value making HNT a friendly, inviting place to
experience the High Holidays. You can help by spending a little time
welcoming people at our doors on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

‫ּוכְל א‬, ‫הָנְּנַרְנ‬
‫הָעיִרָנ ;הָוהיַל‬,
‫ּונֵעְׁשִי רּוצְל‬. Psalm 95:1
1. O come, let
us sing unto the
LORD; let us shout
for joy to the Rock
of our salvation.
It is too quiet at HNT in the summer time. I miss the sound of
children in the hallways, parents coming in and out, and hearing
prayers and music echoing from the classroom. As the psalm above
reminds us, we are meant to serve God and the community in a
spirit of joyful noise. Children are supposed to be asking questions,
Jewish learning is meant to be active, and kids learn best when they
are integrating their knowledge through art, movement, or music.
I am so looking forward to seeing everyone back for the Frankel
Religious School, at our Shabbat and Holiday celebrations, and/
or during Shabbat for Kids on Shabbat morning. Join me as we
“shout for joy” on our opening day of Religious School, Sunday,
September 29th. Please remember that this day follows two days of
chag and then Shabbat. Therefore, it is important that all registration
materials are received prior to September 25th.
Also, do not forget to sign up for our opening day BBQ on the 29th
at 12:15 PM. It is a wonderful way to get to know other families,
meet your child’s teacher and to begin the school year with a tone of
celebration. I hope to see you there!

Please use the updates below to keep your HNT
Congregational Directory current.
October 16: Watermarks - A 2004 Israeli
documentary with English Subtitles
Watermarks is the story of the Jewish
swimming champions who defied Hitler.
It is an uplifting tale of survival and
friendship of seven young girls, now in
their 80s, faithfully recounting a historical
period where prejudice and violence forced
these champion women swimmers of
the legendary Vienna Jewish sports club
Hakoah into exile.

November 20: Wondrous Oblivion – A
2003 European drama/comedy
Wondrous Oblivion is story of a young boy
from a traditional Jewish family dreaming
to be a cricket star despite lacking the
skills. When a lively and big hearted
Jamaican family become new neighbors
in the racial and cultural turbulence of
the 1960’s South London, his family is
forced to choose between aligning with
the prejudices of the neighborhood or
standing up for what is right.
December 18: The Yankles – A 2010
American comedy
The Yankles is the humorous story of an
ex-baseball player who needs to meet his
community service hours as a coach for
an inept and obscure orthodox yeshiva
baseball team. A match made in heaven, as
the team rises to unexpected triumphs and
entrance to the college world series. With
the championship in reach, the Yankles
might just need a miracle for that ultimate
grand slam victory.

POLACK ADULT DAY CENTER:
For the Young at Heart
Herzl Memorial Park
165th and Dayton Avenue North, Shoreline, WA
Thirty four years ago, The POLACK ADULT DAY CENTER
opened its doors to the senior Jewish community in the
greater Seattle area. Housed at the Caroline Kline Galland
Home, the Day Center offers an opportunity for seniors
living at home or in retirement settings to meet, develop
friendships and share common experiences in a Jewish
environment.
While visiting on any Monday through Thursday,
participants can join in a variety of programs including
exercise and movement groups, art classes and appreciation,
entertainment, current events and discussion groups,
outings, and Jewish cultural celebrations and activities. The
participants also enjoy a hot, nutritional kosher lunch from
the Kline Galland dietary department.
The atmosphere is warm and friendly. Caring friendships
are formed and a family-like atmosphere develops.
Services include limited transportation; health monitoring
by a registered nurse; family support and counseling.
The Day Center also provides needed respite for caregivers
and introduces participants and their families to the greater
network of services the Kline Galland Center offers.
For more information about the program, please call Joanne
Angel at (206) 725-8800.
Come join our family!

HNT High Holidays JFS Food
Collection Challenge
September 1 - September 29
Join your Herzl-Ner Tamid family and friends in the challenge of
the year! We are collecting canned food (i.e. tuna, peanut butter,
beans, vegetables, etc.) for the Jewish Family Service Polack Food
Bank. Our goal this year is to collect 5,000 lbs. of food for JFS.
Please bring one bag of canned food each time you come to HNT in
September. Bins for donations are located in the upper and lower
foyers. Please remember we cannot accept glass jars or previously
opened items. Dean & Gwenn Polik and Valerie Polack are again
generously contributing a matching gift for every item we collect.
By working together, we will help fill up those who are hungry in the
Seattle community!
Volunteers Needed!
JFS Food Sort
Sunday, September 15 • 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Collecting food during the High Holidays is only half the fun! First
we’ll meet at HNT for morning minyan. At 9:45 AM we will sort and
pack the collected food, then transport it to JFS. To volunteer, email
Rachel Blum ([email protected]) or call 206-653-6709 for
more information.
