J u ly 1 6 -Au g u s t 31, 20 16 Vo l 132 ● I ss u e 1 0 24 Iyar 577 6 132nd Annual Meeting Tuesday, June 21, 2016 Shem Tov Award Cindy Dubansky received the Shem Tov award at the 2016 Annual Meeting. Shem Tov, meaning “good name,” is given to a volunteer who demonstrates a depth, breadth and diversity of service that sets an example others can aspire to. AVINU MALKEINU (Our Father, Our King) NAMING GOD A Pre-High Holy Day Conversation Rabbi Barry Cytron, Adath Senior Scholar September 17, 24 and October 1 9:15-10:15 AM Barbra Streisand, at the request of Israel’s illustrious Shimon Peres, sang this famous prayer at his retirement celebration. Every Rosh Hashanah, we joyously stand and sing its mighty refrain. But most of us no longer relate positively to images of royalty; victims of parental abuse note the problem of assuming a benevolent father; and feminists have long objected to masculine language for God. Cindy meets that high threshold through her extraordinary service to the Congregation. Her fellow congregants describe her as “caring,” and “always willing to listen.” Others have said, “her word is her bond,” and she is “willing to help when others will not.” Cindy has volunteered in Adult Education, as a Shabbat Morning usher and with the Congregational Nurse Program, but her most significant contribution comes as co-administrator of the Chevra Kavod Hamet, Adath’s Society to Honor the Deceased. Cindy has sat with fellow congregants at their time of greatest need, when a loved one has passed away. She is a passionate advocate for the important work the Chevra does, recruiting new volunteers by sharing her personal stories of providing service and comfort. Additionally, Cindy has handled many administrative Chevra tasks, including updating Chevra documents and compiling them into a complete, easy-to-use resource. Recently, Cindy added sewing the tachrichim (a traditional white burial shroud) to her list of volunteer projects. In her spare time, Cindy works with the Jewish Singles Group, holds a leadership role in Hadassah, is active in professional medical social work groups and loves to garden. Mazal Tov Cindy on this well-deserved honor. Join us for three Shabbat morning discussions as we explore the questions raised by this powerful and central theme of our Machzor. Rabbi Lawrence Hoffman’s latest volume in the Prayers of Awe series will serve as our main resource. There is no charge and everyone is welcome. www.adathjeshurun.org WORD FROM OUR CLERGY WHO’S WHO What's in a song? A reflection on the worship experience and its music. Traditional prayers, English translations, and poetic interpretations of the prayers all make up a liturgical service. The rabbis or I may provide divrei tefilla (explanations and interpretations of the prayers). We may also provide Kavanot which are intentions we set for ourselves and the congregation to bring meaning and personal connection to a prayer. For instance, before reciting the prayer Modim Anachnu Lach, which speaks of miracles that are with us daily, we may ask everyone to reflect on daily miracles in their lives, or to visualize something they are deeply grateful for. In this way we bring the Modim prayer to life and bring meaning and a spiritual connection to our worship. All of these ways of reflecting on and bringing meaning to prayer are helpful, but the medium that I believe has the greatest power to uplift and connect is the music of the service. This is why it's so important to select music that is beautiful, accessible and reflects the particular mood of the prayer in question, whether celebratory or somber. Music may reflect the mood on a given Shabbat or reflect current events in the community or in the world. Each Jewish holiday may also dictate the choice of music. There are upbeat, rousing melodies for the Hallel service for festivals (filled with Psalms of praise) and somber, reflective music for Yizkor services when we remember loved ones. Beyond the general tone of a prayer, and the appropriate music to convey that tone, there is also a musical concept that can be described as word painting. This is where the skill and training of a Hazzan especially comes into play. As an example, those of you who may have been present during the early part of a Shabbat service have on occasion heard me pause dramatically during the Kedusha of the Shacharit Amida. This pause comes after the word "mechakim" – which describes how we wait for God's presence to be with us, expressing the longing for peace, comfort and love in Zion and in the world. It also represents an intimate level of waiting for God in our own lives. I in turn pause and wait to literally paint the text of this prayer. If you pay close attention to the words of prayer you may notice other times when a Hazzan raises his or her voice or lingers on a particular note or passage to paint the words of prayer with a musical paint brush. This is the art of the cantor to choose carefully among the various types of music, to balance a service and express the ebbs and flows of the liturgy and the moods of the congregation. We choose a variety of melodies for connection and community singing as well as more complex music for cantor and perhaps choir and accompaniment. Music, the universal language, is the perfect vehicle for expressing the many moods and devotions of the heart. Soon we will begin a new Jewish year. May it be filled with melodies to inspire and uplift the soul, allowing us to connect through song and feel the presence of God and gratitude for the miracles that are with us daily. There is no better way to express that gratitude than through song. Bivracha (with blessing), Rabbi Harold J.

As you’ll soon be hearing, the 2016 L’Chaim Campaign is kicking into high gear to achieve our $300,000 goal. Thanks to the leadership of L’Chaim Campaign Chair Debra Altschuler and dozens of volunteers, we know it’s possible and hope everyone will do their part to achieve this goal. When you hear from one of these dedicated L’Chaim callers, please give generously! The other exciting news, as you’ll see later in this issue of the Clarion, is the incredible benefit being planned for May 11, 2017, with the very talented Potash Twins. Adeev and Ezra Potash are rising stars in the jazz world and are beloved by many of our own Adath youth, who know the “Twin Horns of Joy” from Herzl Camp and USY. A committee chaired by Scot, Julie, and Emily Ziessman is putting together an evening to remember for all ages. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details! As you can see, the foundation laid by my predecessors is bearing fruit, and I consider myself and Adath to be so fortunate to have Evan Stern, our wise-beyond-his-years new Development Director, doing the great work he’s already done. As we start to think of the Yamim Nora’im ahead, we look forward to your generous support of Adath’s mission. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your summer. Understand the Words of the Prayerbook! If you can read Hebrew phonetically, this class is for you!

Yad Sima Tova was formed in 2003 to provide a community approach to strengthening health and wellness and spirituality to members of Adath Jeshurun Congregation. As Adath’s outreach caring community, Yad Sima Tova reaches out to the congregation’s members and families who need assistance in times of need. While many devote their time and energy to Adath’s outreach caring community, others in our congregation support Yad Sima Tova with financial resources. The Congregational Nurse who is part of Yad Sima Tova has been generously funded by Marc and Julie Kozberg. Yad Sima Tova also receives support from the Susan Himmelman Shapiro Fund of the Jewish Community Foundation. And two permanent funds of the Adath Jeshurun Foundation also support Yad Sima Tova: The Helen and Mike Sandler Fund and the Gisell and Richie Wien Family Fund. Yad Sima Tova’s wide-ranging activities include meals on wheels, transportation on Shabbat and holidays for those congregants who no longer drive, visits and companionship, healing services, bank and bill management, spiritual and religious outreach, reminder calls for upcoming yahrzeits, and bereavement comfort. In its bereavement comfort capacity, each fall Yad Sima Tova partners with the Adath Jeshurun Foundation to send yahrzeit candles and soothing notes to those who have lost loved ones over the previous year. Yad Sima Tova and the Adath Jeshurun Foundation strive to make the High Holidays a little less difficult for the recently bereaved. “Thank you for the thoughtfulness you have shown me at this time of loss in my family,” wrote one recipient of Yad Sima Tova’s High Holiday mailing. “I received in the mail the yahrzeit candle and note. Our synagogue shows caring and support in many directions to many people for many different reasons. It is helpful to know that we can and do reach out to one another.” And reach out to one another we do – the overwhelming majority of Yad Sima Tova’s activities are carried out by volunteers, ave the Date Permanent funds of the Adath Jeshurun Foundation are more than a beautiful lasting legacy; they become philanthropic focal points for the moments in our lives when we are inspired to give. Since Gisell Wien’s retirement in 2013, Gisell and her husband Richie have made numerous donations to their family fund. To support the sacred work of Yad Sima Tova, consider creating a permanent fund of the Adath Jeshurun Foundation, or make a gift of any amount to the Sandler or Wien Funds. Yad Sima Tova has many volunteer needs. To get involved, please contact Sue Kane at 763.546.7135, Sari Lederman at 612.508.8259 or Rabbis’ Associate Jim Sherman at 952.215.3909. Questions about the Adath Jeshurun Foundation or the creation of a permanent fund? Contact Development Director Evan Stern at 952.215.3916 or [email protected]. Double Your Impact with Employer Gift Matching Debbie Spencer has two jobs. She’s the Adath president and she’s a Vice President and Relationship Manager in the Institutional Trust division at U.S. Bank. Just as she doubles up on work, she also doubles her contributions to Adath through the U.S. Bank Employee Matching Gift Program. “U.S. Bank matches my charitable contributions because they believe in partnering with causes that their employees value,” says Debbie. Get Jazzed for the Potash Twins! In concert at Adath May 11, 2017 Many employers provide this philanthropic service for their employees, retirees and/or employees’ spouses. Check with your employer to see if they match monetary gifts or even volunteer hours! If you have further questions, contact Evan Stern, Development Director at [email protected] or 952.215.3916.
