Vol. 90 • No. 3 November 1, 2014 8 Heshvan 5775 Aaronion The TEMPLE OF AARON’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER 616 S. Mississippi River Blvd St. Paul, MN 55116-1099 (651) 698-8874 • www.TempleofAaron.org From the Rabbi’s Desk . . . Shir Chadash Continues All Year Long Sometimes it is the voice of the cantor. Sometimes it is the rhythm of the service. And sometimes it is the music that touches our heart. Every one of us finds a different connection to prayer and maybe some of us have not found it at all. I know on Day 1 of Rosh Hashanah, when Nicholas David took the bimah, I felt the power of prayer. His soulful rendition of “Hallelujah” and our community’s participation in “Lean on Me,” set a tone for our new theme Shir Chadash, a New Song. Despite the lack of a full-time cantor, the Temple of Aaron staff felt strongly about using the open 8pm Friday Night service to welcome different voices to help us explore our spirituality. In October, Elijah Aaron Palnik will be our first Musician-inResidence of 5775. Eli is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston. Besides creating and performing his own music he also teaches at The Ohio State University. Eli and I met at Camp Ramah in Wisconsin many years ago and I am excited for Temple of Aaron to experience the different sound he will share with our community. Continuing every month we will welcome new musicians to the bimah. In November, Ariella Fornstein, who played for us two years ago, will deliver a fresh take on tefillah while allowing us to explore our own instrument use. We will welcome two Cantors: Randy Herman and Nancy Abramson. Both will lead Friday night and Saturday morning services and teach throughout the weekend. Cantor Abramson will also discuss the state of the Cantorate. Amanda and Berek Awend just released a short album of Jewish Americana music. They will lead a sing-along style Friday night service in March 2015. In April, for our Artist-in-Residence, we will welcome Naomi Less. Naomi is a tremendous name in the global Jewish community. She is always on tour and collaborating. She will not only lead services, but be with us for several days for workshops and concerts. Finally, in January we will have a traditional choir service directed by Tom Bartsch. As we move forward with new music, it is important to celebrate the classics we have in our own repertoire. Please check your Aaronians, Weekly Emails, and Annual Program Guide for more information on dates and times. I want to encourage everyone to attend these very special Friday night services. This year we will find what resonates with each of you and how music can greater impact your personal prayer experience. Musicians push us to feel more during our time in synagogue. Temple of Aaron strives to enrich each member’s life with a current and inspiring range of spiritual opportunities. Oh yeah… and I cannot wait to see you November 2nd at our 2nd annual fundraiser honoring Martin and Esther Capp with special guest Mel Brooks!

This community-wide event is sponsored by Federation as we partner with Mount Zion, JCC, Beth Jacob, and Talmud Torah of St. Paul. Joshua Fineblum Director of Education & Community Life [email protected] 651-698-8874 ext. 103 On November 16th we would love you to join us here at Temple of Aaron throughout the morning and learn about some worthwhile charities that our Teens and Social Justice committee have chosen and learned about. Members will be able to donate tzedakah through USY’s Tikun Olam program to these great causes. Look for more details about this program coming soon. Throughout the month we are also gathering things for the community B’yachad project in conjunction with Jewish Family Services of St. Paul and other partner organizations. Donations can be dropped in the bins at Temple of Aaron or you can contact me for more information. I look forward to seeing everyone at these events and helping out in any way you can to these great causes! Toda Raba! Midat Hachodesh: Tzedakah The value of tzedakah, giving charity, is a very important concept in Judaism. The word itself is derived from the Hebrew root Tzaddik-DaletKoof which means justice (doing the right thing), and refers to those who give money for the benefit of others. The root itself is the word Tzaddik, a righteous person who puts value in the needs of others. This value of giving tzedakah helps us define who we are as people and reminds us of Rabbi Hillel’s quote in Pirkei Avot, Chapter1:14: “If I am only for myself, what am I? But if I am not for myself. Who will be for me?” It is this important value and Mitzvah, commandment, that we do as a community here at Temple of Aaron through the B’yachad project and through this month’s Kinyon tzedakah as well. Please give to one of our worthy causes this month by donating money and items to those in need in our community. Have you given to a worthy cause this year here at Temple of Aaron?

Mazel Tov! 5 Adult Education: Fundamentals of Judaism Beginning at 6:30 PM on Wednesday November 5, Temple of Aaron will present its sensational 15-session adult learning series: Fundamentals of Judaism. In our Fundamentals course you learn about the basics, and are granted the space to ask anything you ever wished to know about Jewish t e a c h i n g s , traditions, and history. Questions are at the root of a vital Jewish life. We do not necessarily seek ultimate answers, rather it is often how to better ask a question. Can a modern J e w i s h person cling to P r a d a, Apple, and Whole Foods, and still remain religiously observant? What does a Jew believe? How does a Jew think? Is there spirituality in Judaism? Does Judaism reckon an afterlife? Civics, ethics, and politics aren’t exempted. Need I affiliate as Republican, Democrat, or Libertarian to be a conscientious Jew? Is it a tradition of community or do we prize the individual? Can I argue with the actions of the Israeli government and still be a lover of the State of Israel? These are all great questions, and not one of them can be fairly addressed with a simple answer. Jews do not subscribe to a singular creed, and that means the Jewish faith cannot be summed up through one unqualified statement. Sure, people have tried to distill the basic ideas set forth by Judaism. For instance, a Jew believes in the one God of creation, the God of the Exodus, the God of Abraham, Sarah, Jacob and Leah. However being a Jew in the modern world doesn’t stop there. The m e d i e v a l philosopher Maimonides believed it most accurate to use deductive reasoning. That is to say we can infer certain truths about prophecy, and the nature of eternity. For example, “never has a prophet arisen in Israel whose intimacy with God was so unique as Moses,” or “God has no physical body.” In Jewish tradition, like many great religions, often it is a hint of something more splendid—that delicious mystery— which intrigues us, engages our soul and prompts our hunger for knowledge and experience. Together we learn, we share in lifecycles, and worship in delight and trials. To join Temple of Aaron’s Fundamentals of Judaism course, please RSVP with Susan Tervola at: (651)698-8874 ext 107, or pop her an email at: [email protected]. 6 Rabbi Chaim Singer-Frankes 651-698-8874 ext. 111 Email: [email protected] Twitter: @Chaimster More: http://chaim86.wix.com/rebchaim Oh sure, there’s the story about the two ancient rabbinic sages: Hillel the tolerant and liberal, and Shammai the exacting and inflexible “strict constructionist.” A gentile provokes them with the demand to be taught the whole Torah while standing on one leg. Shammai’s outrage is kindled and gives the man an angry whack with a measuring rod. Hillel replies, “That which is hateful to you, do not unto another: This is the whole Torah. The rest is commentary — [and now] go study.” At Temple of Aaron’s Fundamentals of Judaism course, nobody will ever flog you, nor will they turn you away with pithy epigrams. There are wonderful, and engaging puzzles in Jewish life. An espoused Jew can live on the border between the surreal and the practical, the vhaunting and the self-reliant. So often the political is the personal, and yet matters of custom are rooted in logic.
