Each Shabbat as I work my way through the seven psalms of the morning Pesukei D zimra service I try to recall my week where I was who I was with how I felt what I did Hillel Konigsburg Assistant Rabbi But in general I find it difficult to recall my actions of the previous week Consider for yourself where you were this time last week How were you feeling What did you have for breakfast We often go through life jumping from one thing to the next and we sometimes forget to reflect and remember where we once were If recalling our past week is a daunting task we can imagine the difficulty at recalling everything that happened to us in the past year In the liturgy for Rosh Hashanah we dedicate an entire section of one of our central prayers the musaf amida to Remembrances In this section we say to God Nothing is forgotten in Your awe inspiring presence nothing concealed from your gaze You remember every deed and nothing in creation can be hidden from You It is actually a remarkable theological idea that God not only sees everything but also never forgets anything For a human being who can t remember what he did last week let alone last year it is truly awe inspiring to consider a reality where everything is remembered Knowing that we can t remember everything and that what we do remember comes in little bits and pieces if given enough time the Jewish tradition provides us ample time to reflect on our past year and actions For the entire Jewish month of Elul the month leading up to the High Holidays we sound the shofar each morning and spend time remembering where we have been and what we have done When we give ourselves the time and space to reflect on the past we discover that different memories come back to us at different times Our tradition knows that we can t remember an entire year in a day rather we need to spend the time to allow our memories to resurface While it is indeed humbling to stand before a God who knows and remembers all our deeds I think our liturgy can also serve to inspire us Perhaps the liturgist isn t just trying to scare us into being more perfect in our actions but maybe the liturgist is trying to inspire us to recognize the power of remembering all the deeds of our past There is a certain power to history of not repeating the same missteps and learning from our mistakes There is insight from seeing the trajectory of our pasts and projecting them into the future Maybe as we acknowledge the Divine s ability to know all of the past it is a call for us to do the best we can to remember the past as well As we prepare for the High Holiday season this year we should slow down and give ourselves the time and space to reflect on all the events of our past year It might be helpful for us to go through old to do lists receipts emails or photographs We can look at where we ve been and the experiences we ve had Let us take the opportunity to look back and gain that perspective to show us how far we have come how much we have grown and all the things we have accomplished And then let us project that into the future to figure out where we have yet to go how we need to grow and what remains unfinished 4 B n ai To day Newsl etter I Au g Sep Oct 2017 Natalie Sarnat Executive Director It is hard to believe we are already preparing for another High Holiday season It is true what they say whoever they are the days are long but the years are short As I look to this new year of 5778 there are quite a few things I am excited about for our congregation We have expanded our youth programming for children of all ages Club 345 for 3rd 5th graders will have another fun year of social programming as we build strong comradery and Jewish identity among them The 5th grade will have the opportunity to participate in our Mitzvah Brigade a special social action program The 6th grade will work together to prepare for their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs whether it is making tallit together or learning how to give a sermon Kadima had their epic adventure to Disney World for Yom Disney which was a huge success and will return for more fun and I am happy that we will be offering a confirmation program for 8th and 9th graders The confirmation program has been long requested by our congregants These are the highlights of our upcoming youth programs for the next generation those that will hopefully continue the traditions we so closely hold onto today No pressure As we consider the year before us I would be remiss if I did not mention a hope or a wish I have for each of our congregants For me it is simple I hope that every congregant can enjoy and revel in peace I am not so crazy to hope for Peace on Earth as Sandra Bullock so eloquently noted in Miss Congeniality Mine is a wish that I hope each congregant will interpret and receive as they need Peace in your choices peace in your home peace in your personal relationships I hope that every congregant can enjoy and revel in peace I am very excited about a new group which started at the end of last year Boomers This group which was formed by congregants coming to us and asking for more social programming specifically for them Congregants born in 1963 and earlier represent a large contingent in our community Boomers has a full fall schedule from Bingo Bourbon Babka to many classes and fun social get togethers B n a i Tod a y N e w s l e tte r I A u g S

Meet Hannah Zale Our New Youth Advisor Alan Smirin president Last May I had a list of personal projects that I wanted to make Sharon Graetz happen in my first year as Youth Family Education Director president My goal was to introduce new ideas that would bring our members into our beautiful synagogue and show that we are more than a house of worship We are a community where all Jews are welcome A teen led Shabbat morning service with Rabbi K and the Weber School was another first Followed by a cholent kiddush it was a beautiful morning to watch our young people lead service and enjoy cholent for many a first time The first idea was Coffee and Conversation a monthly series of speakers on hot topics including politics sports current news events the Jewish Film Festival and Atlanta Jewish history Coffee and Conversations will be back for a second season We had a Shabbat Club in Dunwoody There were over twenty two people in attendance with the purpose of sharing Friday night Shabbat in a member s home It was a beautiful evening and different Shabbat traditions were shared Next year we will have several more in other neighborhoods with different age groups We had our first Casino Night Our social hall was transformed into a Vegas Casino and over 300 congregants and friends attended It was a fun evening and we raised over 10 000 for our synagogue Casino Night will return in March 2018 and you won t want to miss it 6 A Shabbat morning tradition has been added We now invite congregants to join us in the procession or meet us at the bema as we escort the Torah back into the

Kol Nidre Appeal 5778 Congregation B nai Torah When visitors came to see the Chasidic Rabbi for a blessing it was to leave some dollar bills for charity Without even looking at them the Rebbe would stuff them in an old desk drawer One morning a man came desperately in need of a few hundred dollars which the Rebbe gladly agreed to give The Rebbe asked his gabbi to help him count the crumpled dollar bills as he took them out of the drawer The Rebbe began flattening pressing each bill trying to make them look new His gabbi asked why all the fuss The Rebbe explained When you do a mitzvah it must be done with grace and class Mitzvot must be done regally and joyfully Our tradition teaches that it is noble to give from a generous heart than solely out of obligation We make a good deed great when we perform it with a generous spirit rather than merely out of a sense of duty Help us live that lesson in our congregation this year by participating in our Kol Nidre Appeal The way you give to our synagogue is as important as the giving itself As most of you know dues have never covered the full operating costs to bring Jews closer to each other in our B nai Torah community and sanctify God s name This year we will be offering more programs classes events and services for people of all ages For the first time in many years we do not have an increase in dues From our award winning religious school our support of families at every stage of their life cycle our full calendar of outstanding activities to our kiddish lunch every Shabbat donations large and small are essential for the continued success of our vibrant synagogue 2017 Tashlich Sunday September 24 12 30 p m Morgan Falls Park Everyone is welcome to the Tashlich service at Morgan Falls Park Join Atlanta s Conservative Congregations for Community Selichot We make a good deed great when we perform it with a generous spirit rather than merely out of a sense of duty We hope you will seize the opportunity to do a mitzvah regally by participating in our Kol Nidre Appeal For those who gave last year please consider increasing your donation If you have not previously participated please consider giving 18 or more Everyone Is Welcome September 16 Our goal this year is for everyone in our B nai Torah community to participate from their heart and do it with joy The only amount that is too small to give is none at all Make your pledge by returning the envelope in the B nai Today donating on line or by returning your card on Kol Nidre eve 28 B n ai To day Newsl etter I Beth Shalom 5303 Winters Chapel Rd Atlanta GA 30360 Alan Smirin President Au g Sep Oct 2017 9 15 p m A Spiritual Havdalah an engaging program and the sacred Selichot service that begins the High Holiday Season As we begin this holiday season help us make this Jewish Year 5778 one that is marked by the mitzvah of giving with grace and from your heart It will bring you joy Joshua Heller Senior Rabbi I B n a i Tod a y N e w s l e tte r I A u g S e p O c t 2017 29
