The BuzZ at BZ News From B’nai Zion Congregation in Shreveport, LA From Rabbi Jana When you see someone yawn, how likely are you to need to yawn too? Research shows that about half of adults yawn after someone else yawns due to a universal phenomenon called “contagious yawning.” Being tired is a primary reason that people will spontaneously yawn, but it may not matter that you are not even tired – if you see someone yawn, you may be next. Sometimes even just looking at a picture of someone yawning – or maybe just reading this paragraph is enough for you to “catch” the need to yawn. Contagious Judaism There seems to be a similar contagious condition when it comes to laughing or giggling. You have no doubt seen situations when just seeing or hearing someone laugh will make others around them laugh – even when they have no idea what was so funny that got the first person going. There are devices that take advantage of how contagious laughter is – like Giggle Sticks, and boxes with buttons that produce a variety of guffaws and giggles that are irresistible, and cause most people of any age to laugh along. In Jewish tradition there is a saying: Mitzvah goreret mitzvah; Aveirah goreret aveirah. Doing a Mitzvah leads to doing mitzvot; Transgressions leads to other transgressions. While yawns and giggles are mostly contagious between different people, mitzvot and aveirot can be “contagious” for each individual - or they can spread to other people. For example, if someone does something they should not do, usually the next thing is having to tell lies to cover it up. Spending time with people who do bad things makes it easier to choose to do bad things. More important is that mitzvot lead to mitzvot. We come to High Holy Day services, and something in the service really inspires us. We get motivated to do all kinds of good things: stay in touch with friends more, learn or practice Hebrew, sing more, really find ways to improve yourself and the world around you. I love that right after we experience the solemnity and the fasting – and the mitzvot – of Yom Kippur, we immediately enjoy Sukkot. It gives us an official opportunity to be thankful (it is the holiday that American Thanksgiving is based on). It is also a wonderful time of the year to be sitting outside for a while each day – listening to the sounds around us, smelling the air – it makes the food taste better, and the company more precious when we have someone to share in the mitzvah. This month we seem to have no time for yawning, since the holy days are one after another. The last one is the one filled with laughter, dancing, and celebrating – with the Torah at Simchat Torah. We don’t want contagious colds or viruses, but like a contagious sneeze, mitzvot can be really effective “God Bless You” moments. Keep them coming. L’shanah Tovah Tikateivu v’tichateimu: May you be inscribed and sealed for a great new year. Rabbi Dr. Jana L. De Benedetti B’nai Zio n Page 1 October 2014/T is hr i~Ches hvan 5775 From our President, Donald Posner Once again, the Board of B’nai Zion and I would like to wish you a happy and healthy new year as we prepare to observe Yom Kippur. I hope that these days of atonement are a meaningful time of self-reflection. It was great to see all of our regulars at services as well as those who regularly attend the High Holy Days. Many thanks to Rabbi Jana for her preparations. Her efforts make our services so special and expressive. I trust our morning Rosh Hashanah service in the new sanctuary was especially meaningful to all of us present. Our building is over 50 years old and is feeling its age. Not a week goes by without problems or issues with the air, plumbing, electricity or the grounds. Please thank Gary Abrams and Brett Lake who head up your building and grounds committee. Their job is so thankless. Many thanks to all of you have responded to the most recent letter regarding the renovation of the sanctuary and donor wall. It is still not too late! Final pledges and donor wall plaque requests are due by Yom Kippur. We have several important events in the near future including Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Please share their importance to our young people by attending these events. B’nai Zion Board of Trustees As always read your bulletin and/or check 2014-2015 online to see what’s happening at B’nai Zion.

Sukkot in the month of October, along with a beautiful and roomy outdoor Sukkah, makes sharing a meal in the sukkah so inviting. I hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to invite family and friends to picnic with you from October 8-15. We can even leave tables and chairs accessible to you, especially if you tell us which night you are coming. The sukkah is also a great place for an after-school snack! Please join us to decorate the sukkah on Sunday afternoon, October 5 at 5:00 p.m. We need older students to put the pine branches on and younger students to put up decorations. There will be NO Religious School in the morning (it’s the day after Yom Kippur), but this late afternoon event counts as a day of Religious School. Please come – and bring grocery bags filled with non-perishable food items for the Northwest LA Food Bank. Our fall holidays remind us that we have entered into a new season and a new year, with fresh opportunities for personal and congregational growth. Jewish memories are made at celebrations like Simchat Torah, so please plan to be with us Friday evening, October 17 as we read the last chapter of Devarim (Deuteronomy) and the opening chapter of Beresheet (Genesis). As we do every year, we will link ourselves to our rich heritage by consecrating the children in our K-5 Religious School class. What could be more beautiful than watching them stand beneath a tallit held by their parents as they recite the Shema together? All the children who are there will get to march around the sanctuary, singing and sharing the honor of carrying the Torah scrolls. By the way, you can always access our bulletins online at www.bnaizioncongregation.org. Rabbi Jana has worked hard to give us a website that is both informative and fun to explore. If you haven’t looked at it lately, do it now. In addition, Alison Bath is the energetic and creative administrator of the Religious School Facebook page. If you aren’t yet a fan, please join us and check the page often. Alison posts news, links to resources, and yes, wonderful photos of your kids. We share your concerns about safety on the internet, so we post the pictures without names. On Sunday, October 26 we will have our very popular Blessing of the Animals. It always corresponds with the Torah portion, Noach (the story of Noah and the Flood – and the Ark and the animals). Students come to Religious School at 9:30 without their pets, and parents return with the animals at 11:30. The Religious School year is off to an excellent start. I am grateful to the faculty for the joy, enthusiasm and creativity they bring to our school. I am grateful to the parents who always say yes when I call for help. We are a small school, but large numbers are not as important as a large commitment. Here is my challenge for the fall holiday season: Let us all take one concrete step toward becoming more involved in our community embracing our Judaism through study and worship and acts of lovingkindness.

If your birthday or anniversary is in October we will celebrate and honor you October 10, 2014 during services. We will have a special Oneg Shabbat following services. Note the date change because the first Shabbat of the month is Yom Kippur this year. If your birthday or anniversary is in November your Simcha Shabbat will be the second week in October: November 7, 2014 (not Yom Kippur). It is a mitzvah for us to celebrate together. Please make sure that the office knows your birthday and anniversary dates. If you are not on our birthday and anniversary list in the bulletin, it means we do not have your information. North Louisiana Jewish Federation The Federation office will be open from 9:30 a.m. – noon on the Sundays religious school is in session. Please stop by and visit. The Executive Director is also in the office during the week. If you need to see or speak with Kathy during the week please call in advance to arrange a time. The Federation telephone number is 868-1200. Children’s High Holy Day Services We have High Holy Days Children's Services for pre-readers led by Rabbi Jana beginning 12:15 PM following adult services. We hope that offering these services helps to satisfy the spiritual needs of our children during the High Holy Days. Babysitting will be available for children during adult services, but children are always welcome at the regular services. It is very helpful if you let us know at least three days in advance that you plan to use the babysitting services, and tell us how many children and their ages, so that we can be properly prepared. , L’Shanah Tovah T’kateivu! May Y’all Be Inscribed for a Good Year!! October 2014/T is hr i~Ches hvan 5775 Page 4 B’nai Zio n Blessing of Animals The day after we read in the Torah about gathering animals in Noah’s Ark, the Rabbi will bless our animals, during Religious School, Sunday, October 26, at 11:30 AM. Please be responsible for your pet: provide leashes, carriers, collars with ID tags, appropriate cleanup equipment, etc. You know what you need to keep it safe. The animals lived together in the Ark for many weeks — we can have ours get along for a brief service, blessing, and “Meet and Greet.” If you can’t bring your pet, bring a photo, and we can bless it anyway. In the Beginning: Take Time for Torah We read, discuss, and study the whole Torah portion by portion every year. We begin with the start of Genesis on October 18. This is a great opportunity to start at the beginning. You don’t have to come every week, but you will not be sorry if you do. Torah study is 9:45-11:00 AM on Saturday mornings. You don’t need to know Hebrew. You don’t have to have your own book (we have enough for everyone). You don’t have to study ahead of time. People who study with us say it is their favorite time of the week. And of course, we have refreshments. Jewish Trivia Question: What is the next Jewish holiday after Simchat Torah? Answer: Shabbat. The next Jewish holiday other than Shabbat is Chanukah, which begins December 16 this year. October is “Look for a Purim Costume Month” There seems to be an awfully large selection of Purim costumes in all the stores this month... Since Purim is one of the most fun holidays we celebrate, it is nice to plan ahead. Purim may be months away, but it seems like a good time to be thinking about what your costume will be. Or perhaps if you wait until just after October, you can get a bargain. Fasting and Feeding / Teshuvah and Tzedakah We CAN Make a Difference: Remember to bring the meals that you would have eaten for Yom Kippur as a donation for the Shreveport area food bank. Please bring non-perishable, non-expired food to place in the bins that will be at B’nai Zion from Yom Kippur through the end of Sukkot. On Yom Kippur as we fast for a day, we become more aware of the needs of those who never have enough food. On Sukkot we are aware of the harvest of good food that we enjoy, and we realize that we have a responsibility to help provide for those who are less fortunate. Start your new year with a mitzvah with simple act of tzedakah. Together, we CAN make a difference. B’nai Zio n Page 5 October 2014/T is hr i~Ches hvan 5775 Garrett Brainis Bar Mitzvah Please join us As we celebrate The occasion of Garrett Brainis Being called to The Torah As a Bar Mitzvah Friday evening, October 24, 2014 6 o’clock in the evening B’nai Zion Congregation Southfield Road, Shreveport Oneg Shabbat Dinner following service Amy and David Brainis Yom Kippur is The Holiest Day of the Year Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year--the day on which we are closest to God and to the quintessence of our own souls. It is the Day of Atonement--"For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before God" (Leviticus 16:30). For nearly twenty-six hours--from several minutes before sunset to after nightfall the next day -- we "afflict our souls": we abstain from food and drink, do not wash or anoint our bodies, do not wear leather footwear, and abstain from marital relations. By abstaining from food and drink, we exercise control over our bodies and do not give in to our most basic impulses. This provides a way to feel the "affliction" that the Torah mandates. The day is the most solemn of the year, yet an undertone of joy suffuses it: a joy that revels in the spirituality of the day and expresses the confidence that God will accept our repentance, forgive our sins, and seal our verdict for a year of life, health and happiness. The concluding service climaxes in the resounding cries of "Hear O Israel... God is one," followed by a single long blast of the shofar, followed by the proclamation, "Next year in Jerusalem." We then partake of a festive Break-Fast.

When we read Torah and we get to the end, we immediately start at the beginning again. We are so happy to have completed a year of reading the whole Torah, and so excited to be beginning reading it again, that we can’t help it — we have to dance! At B’nai Zion, we usually only see one or two Torah scrolls in our Ark during the year. At Simchat Torah, you will be amazed at how many Torah scrolls come out to dance. Everyone who wants to gets a chance to carry a Torah around the sanctuary — even children (although theirs are more huggable than the grown-up Torah scrolls). Some people march, some people really dance, some people clap and watch. Our youngest members see their parents carrying the scrolls and dancing. Our oldest members see how their efforts to pass down the Torah to the next generations are succeeding. Please join our joyous celebration Friday, October 17 beginning at 6:00 PM. After the serious Holy Days at the beginning of the month, it is wonderful to end the month of holidays with joy and music.
