RABBINIC REFLECTIONS
Parallel But Different
As we have just concluded the
celebration of Rosh Hashanah
and begin a New Year, it is interesting to note that according
to the Mishna, there are four
New Year’s days that are celebrated. For us, the most prominent is the first of Tishrei which
begins the calendar year as we
know it. The second best known New Year ’s Day is
the first of Nisan. According to the biblical calendar,
Nisan is the first month of the year and all biblical
dates are counted from the month of Nisan, hence
Passover in the Book of Exodus is observed on the
15th month. Interestingly, the day we know as Rosh
Hashanah, in our Torah is called the first day of the
seventh month.
when we are told that this month of Nisan is the
first month of the year, we have an association with
the redemption of the Jewish people, our ancestors
from Egypt.
Tishrei is different. The first of Tishrei marks, according to our tradition, the birth of the world. It’s
not a uniquely Jewish celebration, but one that
bonds all humanity. Our traditions teach us that in
this season the entire world and all humanity is
judged, not just the Jewish people. This universal
spirit continues through the holiday of Sukkot.
As much as we celebrate God’s care for the people
of Israel in the desert on Sukkot, we also celebrate
God who cares for the entire world. It is on Sukkot
according to the Prophet Zechariah that the final
redemption will occur and all nations will come to
Jerusalem to celebrate the holiday of Sukkot.
At this time of year many are keenly aware of their
Jewishness, and the holidays help us feel a deeper
connection to our Jewish roots. We also make a
greater attempt to return to Synagogue and in many
ways our prayers are offered with greater fervor. All
that is good, but our tradition also reminds us that
we are not in this alone. As we ready ourselves for
the holiday of Sukkot, we should be mindful that
when we pray for rain, it’s not just rain for the Jewish people but for the entire world, and when we
ask for salvation, it’s not a particular salvation but a
universal one. Though Sukkot is still solely a Jewish
holiday, it is a poignant time for us to remember the
needs of the entire community and our place as a
part of the larger world.
All this can lead to a bit of confusion, when we talk
about a new year. When we count the months, we
are counting according to our current calendar year
which begins on the first day of the month of
Tishrei. Still this parallel calendar offers us a unique
insight into the nature of our Jewish holidays and
the Jewish year. Both the first of Tishrei and the first
of Nisan are known as New Year’s days. On the
tenth of each month is a significant day, the tenth
of Tishrei is Yom Kippur and the tenth of Nisan was
the first day the Passover lamb could be set aside
for the Passover sacrifice. The 15th of Sukkot and
the 15th to parallel each other, there is a unique
difference in the nature of the holidays and the
Rabbi Joshua S. Finkelstein
character of each calendar.
Passover marks our redemption from Egypt. It is a
particular Jewish holiday, which is nearly universally
observed in some form by every Jewish household.
Beginning with Chapter 12 in the Book of Exodus

We held our Congregational Meeting on Saturday, September 20th
at 8:30 PM. Over 120 members
attended to ratify our new slate of officers, approve
our 2014/2015 budget, choose the nominating
committee as required by our constitution, and to
hear about the current state of our finances. I’d like
to speak with you today about some of the points
that I covered in my financial presentation and to
talk a little about some changes we are making to
this year’s Yom Kippur appeal lead by Anne and
Adrian Kroll.
Long term we will need to make some tough decisions, with the help of congregational focus groups
and the Board of Directors we need to consider
sweeping strategies to ensure our viability. Everything needs to be on the table to be discussed, debated, and to be decided upon. Choices we will
consider among others, include selling a portion of
the campus, including our houses on Ryders Lane,
enough to manage a smaller debt, develop our
land, merge with another Shul in the area, share
our Shul with another Shul, or open our building up
to the full spectrum of conservative Judaism to grow
our membership. I know that some of these options
are daunting, but all of these options need to be
considered to keep up with a long term viable plan;
however, I promise you that no radical decision will
be made without the input of our members with the
only goal being that EBJC is around for generations
to come.

(Excerpts from Back to School)
Shana tova, and welcome to the year
5775. For those of you non-math
people, the number 5775 is a palindrome - it is the same forward and
backward, the same coming and going. During my
two months of getting to know the community, I
have been reflecting on the meaning of this journey
we embark on together. It struck me that one goal
is for the experience of Hebrew School to NOT be a
palindrome. You should NOT be the same coming
and going. What happens here should be transformative, in some way.
reviewing their Hebrew reading and tefillot. We welcome several families new to the shul and school!
Each class is looking forward to creating decorations for and spending time in the EBJC sukkah. The
new Young Adult Program is underway, with 19
teens in attendance for the opening class. This
course will explore several Mitzvah Modules
throughout the year with a focus on hands-on social
action activities.

In order to raise this money, I asked

Matan Omansky is a student at Solomon Schechter Day School in Marlboro. Matan loves reading and for
his Bar Mitzvah he is donating English books to schools in Israel
through The Jade Bar Shalom Books
for Israel Project. This is an international grassroots effort to bring gently used good quality English books
to school libraries in Israel. The
"Books for Israel" project connects
donors directly to schools, teachers
and the students so that both the
donor and recipient communities
can develop close, friendly relations. Matan expects to donate
about 500 of his own books and
from the community. Matan looks
forward to traveling to Israel soon
with his family and visiting the
school in Rishon LeZion where he is
donating the books.

Dr. Steve Schonfeld, a work on the essence of humans and space, opening for the High Holy Days
