A MESSAGE FROM RABBI ROSENB AUM
Unexpected
Gifts
Annual Appeal
HNT relies on your additional generosity
when you contribute to the Annual Appeal.
It helps bridge the gap between the dues and
Yesterday, I was on the phone, when I casually looked out my
window and saw the most amazing sight. A buck, a doe, and their
child were having a family picnic in my backyard. It took my breath
away. We have had deer in our yard before, but never a whole family.
The male with his antlers was especially impressive. And, there was
something endearing about how gentle he was with the doe and
their little one. Not wanting to startle the deer into running away,
I moved carefully to get Janine, and I started snapping photos with
my iPhone like crazy to send to my kids.
What was it that moved me so? There was the sheer beauty of
these magnificent creatures. And, I was also touched by this family
scene. How wonderful it is that at the most basic level of nature,
the tenderness of family members towards each other is so deeply
ingrained. It was not a coincidence that my instinctive response was
to want to reach out and share this scene with my own family.
But, perhaps most of all, I was touched by the suddenness of this
unexpected gift. I was having a pretty ordinary day, and suddenly
my heart was opened to this remarkable scene. I am a planner by
nature and my lists have lists. When I can move a project from start
to finish, I feel a sense of accomplishment.
Yet, so often, the moments of my life that move me the most are the
ones that I didn’t plan for. At the core of our Tradition is the belief
that within the fabric of life, there are unexpected surprises waiting
to delight us. Boaz awakens in the middle of the night to discover
the beautiful Ruth at his feet. Moses discovers a fire inside of him
that will not be quenched.
Life is not ruled by the iron clad laws of necessity. We experience
things that exceed our expectations. It could be the moment we fall
in love. It could be something clever our grandchild says that makes
us laugh. It could be an act of kindness that lifted our spirits.
Every morning we recite in our prayers, ha’ mechadesh b’tuvo b’chol
yom tamid ma’aseh b’reshit/We are grateful to the God who renews
Creation each day. To be a Jew is to be open to the new. May each
of us be touched by unexpected gifts in the year to come. May
the world surprise us in inspiring ways. And, may we discover
unexpected beauty, courage and strength in ourselves and in
each other.
Janine, David and Miri, Shani and I wish all of our friends at HNT a
shana tova u’metukah, a happy, sweet and fulfilling New Year.

really want to do, but we’re trying to overcome that natural fear of
potential failure that keeps us from moving forward.
Personal
Reflections
I hope you all had a wonderful summer
and enjoyed some of the most beautiful
weather in Seattle!
Summer always seems to go just a little
too fast, and it’s hard to believe that we
are coming up on the High Holidays soon. So, that means it is time
to get ready for Rosh Hashanah, when you are supposed to review
your actions and work on a plan to change your negative behaviors.
I always try to focus even more on how I can do more positive
behaviors; primarily, what am I going to do next year to impact
others in a positive way, stretch myself, and get out of my
comfort zone.
It seems that we all just naturally seek that comfort zone; it’s just
easier – it’s the path of least resistance. However to really grow as
individuals and lead more meaningful lives, we often need to take
the plunge and stretch ourselves to do something that we may
Everyone
My mom, Eileen Mintz z”l, has always been my role model in
getting out of that comfort zone – that is how she lived her life. She
knew that if she was to inspire others and accomplish all that she
wanted, she would have to stretch herself, and besides, it made life a
lot more exciting for her!
I have to admit that I left my comfort zone when I became president
of HNT. I was quite content being the co-chair of the Membership
Committee and doing a lot behind the scenes. However, I made the
decision to serve our congregation as president because I care so
much about HNT, and I wanted to help impact our synagogue in
new ways. Besides, we’re going in such a positive direction that I’m
excited to be even more involved!
I will be out of my ‘zone’ this Rosh Hashanah as I address the entire
congregation to ask for your contribution to our Annual Appeal.
When I do ask for your support, please remember that getting out of
that comfort zone also applies to giving. As Jews, we want to be sure
to give until it’s uncomfortable…and then give some more.
All the best, and L’Shana Tova!
Dan Mintz

TORAHTHON 8
The response to Bob’s passing has
been overwhelming. The stories, the
visits, the phone calls, the food, the
invitations for Shabbat, the beautiful
cards, the notes and letters, and the
donations have been mind blowing.
We all knew that Bob was well-loved and respected, but
this was something else! Please know that my children and
their spouses, my six grandsons, and my sisters-in-law truly
appreciate the community wide outpouring of love
and support.
We love hearing “Bob” stories so please continue to send
them to us. It’s important, especially, for my grandsons to
know about their grandfather from those who knew him.
They give my children a different view of their father and
father-in-law. They also give my sisters-in-law a unique view
of their big brother.

Welcome
A M e ssag e from R a bbi Ya r k i n
I’m sure you can relate to this strange phenomenon: that feeling you get when something major happens
that you have anticipated, planned, and thought about for so long that when it finally arrives, it just does
not feel real. The mental space used to imagine every aspect of this event suddenly morphs into a physical
place, and your mind has to shift from potentiality to actuality. It could be your impending bat mitzvah day,
graduation, a wedding day, or your longed-for summer vacation. We dream about our significant events so
long before we ever experience them that we become used to them living inside our minds where we can
control them. It is often a jolt, albeit an exciting one, to find yourself actually living in it.
For six years, I was in Rabbinical School. I knew that at some point that would lead to the event of becoming
a rabbi, and having the privilege of serving a real congregation, but that was a long time away! My reality was that I was a full time
student, who went to classes, absorbed texts, developed skills, acquired for myself teachers, and taught on the side. There was this far
off time, though, where I would be transformed into this “Rabbi” and would be unleashed onto the world! And then, in May 2014, it
happened, and here I am. Slightly in shock, pinching myself to check that this is really happening.
But, here’s the thing about reality. It never happens to just one person. We are not islands (well, technically, at Herzl Ner Tamid, we
are on one!). The moment we launch into a new stage of life, and experience a shift in our identity, we share it with the people around
us. Others witness our transformation and respond to us anew. We help each other grow into our new roles when we share in our
emotions and assure one another that, indeed, a transition occurred. Already I feel embraced by this community. I am beginning the
amazing process of getting to know you, hear your stories, learn your hopes and dreams, and absorb the culture here. I am a rabbi
because you allow it; when you ask questions of me, you permit me to be your teacher. When you come to me for support, advice,
or for a friendly hug, you are embracing me as your spiritual leader. All transitions, once they touch the ground, no matter how
personal they may feel, are also communal. I look forward so much to embarking upon the Jewish New Year 5775 with you and being
an integral part of your important moments and transitions. This very moment calls for a blessing: a shehechianu, an outpouring of
gratitude for enabling us to reach this season.

High Holidays 5775
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL FAMILY PROGRAMS WILL BE AT HNT
L’Shanah Tova!
New High Holiday Ticket Policy: Welcome Policy From Ticket Holders to Stakeholders
We are so proud to be a part of Herzl-Ner Tamid. We are a
warm inclusive community with spiritual, educational and
social opportunities for all phases of our individual and
family lives. We embrace and express our traditions within
the tenets of Conservative Judaism AND we are also on
the cutting edge of finding new forms of expression and
unexplored pathways to spiritual growth. Whether it’s a
Purim Shpiel or Torahthon, Daytimers or Day of Service,
Mitzvah Corps or Halleluyah chorus, our congregational
community provides many doors for each of us to enter.
We celebrate together during s’machot and draw strength
from a minyan when we grieve, and we always know that
Herzl-Ner Tamid is here for you, for us.
Now we are opening our arms wider yet by initiating a new
and more welcoming policy of not requiring tickets for
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur for our HNT members.
We don’t ask for a ticket other times and we strive to be
as welcoming on the High Holidays as we are on Shabbat
and other festivals. We’re evolving from ticket holders
to stakeholders as evidenced by many of you who have
stepped up to get involved in very meaningful ways.
From the Development Committee to the Dream Team to
the Shabbat Dinner Circle to the Minyanaire’s Brunch, so
many of you demonstrate with your deeds and your resources
that HNT is a home you nurture like your own. We are stake
holders - we need only to give of ourselves, each according to
our individual abilities, for the greater good.
To do this requires that all of us remember that to be
a welcoming home, one that is as comfortable as it is
inspiring, each of us must do our own individual part
to insure that we are strong, secure and sustainable.
This means that we must pay our annual commitment increase it if you can - contribute to the Annual Appeal
if you can and bring your Service Schedule card with
you to all services to help us with the enhanced security
precautions that will be in place. And because we are
stake holders— Please bring your Annual Appeal Pledge
Card to services on Rosh Hashanah.
We are opening the doors to our synagogue a bit wider for
our community. We hope you will see this, as we do, as
another way to join together in prayer with our families,
friends and community in the spirit of communal harmony
and responsibility. This year all programs and services are
being held in our synagogue home — Herzl-Ner Tamid.
As we usher in another year, may we at Herzl-Ner Tamid
8
be examples to our children and to the greater Jewish
community. We contribute to our synagogue community
because Herzl-Ner Tamid is our Jewish home - a warm,
welcoming and inclusive sanctuary.
We at Herzl-Ner Tamid are stakeholders,
not ticket holders.

GENEROUS BEQUEST FOR THE FRANKEL RELIGIOUS SCHOOL FROM JOHN WERNER FRIEDMANN Z”L
The Herzl-Ner Tamid congregational community gratefully
acknowledges a very generous bequest of $25,000 received from
the estate of beloved longtime member, Holocaust survivor,
community activist, and ardent Zionist John Friedmann z”l,
who passed away in October. In leaving this substantial gift, his
memory will be perpetuated in projects that will become possible
due to his foresight and commitment to Jewish life.
on Mercer Island. He was a leader in the Seattle Holocaust
Association and chaired the establishment of the local Holocaust
Memorial, ever mindful of honoring the memory of those who
did not survive. Though he felt the responsibility of educating the
next generation about the horrors of the Shoah, he also instilled
in his family a love of Judaism and the need to belong and
commit to a Jewish home, in Israel and here.
John became a longtime friend of Cantor Joseph Frankel z”l, for
whom our school is named, after meeting during WWll. Their
friendship lasted the rest of their lives. They shared a story all
too recognizable of the times. Having watched as his father
and brother were taken away on Kristalnacht, after which they
perished on a transport to Auschwitz, John was eventually able to
emigrate to England. There he was taken in by a Quaker family
and learned to be a draftsman. He joined a corps of young men
who rescued those trapped in bombed buildings and eventually
proudly gained English citizenship. In 1947 he immigrated
to the US and together with his new wife made a home in the
Pacific Northwest.
He was part of a small group who helped orchestrate the
merger of Herzl with Ner Tamid and its move to the Eastside.
His children reflect benchmarks of that very journey; Peter
celebrated becoming Bar Mitzvah at Herzl in Seattle, Danny at
Ner Tamid and eventually Judy (Benami) right here on
Mercer Island.
John had a long and successful career at what is now known
as PACCAR, was active in Democratic politics, and was
instrumental in the building of the beautiful pedestrian paths
Judaica shop
And it’s right here on this little island that John’s gift, which
will help educate Jewish children, will be a testament to the
spirit of the Jewish People, a model and an inspiration not only
to his children and grandchildren (Joey, Ben, Josh and Jessie
Friedmann and Tomer and Adi Benami), but to each of us. It is a
reminder that we are individually and collectively responsible for
the welfare of our community and of the Jewish People.

HNT High Holidays JFS Food
Collection Challenge
September 2 - October 5
What’s in your cart? Put it in ours too!
On average, 1,800 people per month need the Jewish Family
Service Polack Food Bank. Instead of giving what you don’t use,
why not give what you do use?
The food you donate isn’t just going to sit on a shelf somewhere,
it’s going to a real person! What do you like to eat? Help feed
someone who’d like the same thing! Dean & Gwenn Polik and
Valerie Polack are once again generously contributing a matching
gift for every item we collect, so give big and they will too!
Don’t forget, the food bank cares about expiration dates just like
you do. Check the date before you donate! We also cannot accept
previously opened items, glass jars or perishables.
Donate in the marked cart/bins in the Upper & Lower Foyers
Volunteers Needed!
JFS Food Sort
Sunday, October 5 • 9:45 AM - 1:00 PM
