From the Rabbi
Welcome to a new and exciting year in
our Temple family's life! I hope the summer gave you opportunities
for rest and refreshment and that you return to us with new energy,
enthusiasm and ideas.
The new year will offer us several crucial
opportunities to think together about our future. In coming
months, we'll discuss exciting questions about who Beth El Temple
Center should be as it enters the 21st century. These discussions
will challenge us to sustain and nurture the best of Beth El's
past even as we consider how our congregation can best respond
to the vastly changed realities of American Jewish life.
Most of you already know that we will
jump right into that process during the Days of Awe. As an experiment,
the liturgy for our Yom Kippur morning service will come from
the Reform movement's newly revised machzor, Gates of Repentance.
All other services will continue to be conducted from the Conservative
movement's machzor (as in recent years). After we've worshipped
from both prayerbooks, we'll solicit your feedback about whether
to retain our present machzor or change to Gates of Repentance.
On one level, this is a simple discussion
about which prayerbook we use for the High Holy Days. However,
I suspect the dialogue will touch deeper, more sensitive questions
in the life history of Beth El Temple Center. In some sense,
this prayerbook discussion continues a 40 year old debate about
what it means for Beth El to be a Reform congregation. Now as
then, the conversation will be both challenging and critical.
For as we talk about prayerbooks, the dialogue also offers us
a chance to think about how we can make Beth El a comfortable
spiritual home both for those who prefer a more traditional style
of worship and for those who prefer a more liberal style.
May our conversations, whatever their
outcome and regardless of our disagreements, be fruitful and constructive.
May we work together to choose a future which will continue to
make of this place a House worthy of God and a congregation which
is a holy community.

President's Message
The pace was more leisurely, but the Temple was active
during the summer. Services were held every Friday and Saturday,
most led by Rabbi Kraus but some conducted by our fellow members
while the Rabbi enjoyed a well-deserved vacation. The Building
Committee met a number of times with architects to explore renovations.
The Committee should be ready to share some possibilities with
us early in the Fall. Other committees met to plan the year. Their
activities will keep us busy throughout the year.
Next year, the number of B'nai Mitzvah at the Temple
will more than double to 17. Mazel Tov to the B'nai Mitzvah and
their parents. Also next year we shall welcome a group of adult
B'nai Mitzvah to our congregation. Mazel Tov especially to these
friends and neighbors who have been full members of our Temple
but who will be formally inducted to Judaism through the ancient
rites of our tradition.
Now it is time to wish you all 'Shanah Tovah'. May
5757 be a year of fulfillment for everyone of us individually,
and may it see the continuation of growth in activity, in spirit,
and, yes, in membership at the Temple. All of us have contributed
to this growth, and all of us will have opportunity to enjoy
its fruits through our participation.

From the Director of Education
Have you ever been to a Chinese restaurant
with a placemat that tells you what animal you are represented
by according to the year you were born? According to the chart,
you could be in the year of the dog, pig, or rat.
This year, in the Beth El Temple Center
Religious School, it will be The Year of the Mensch.
What is a mensch? In The Joys of Yiddish, Leo Rostein
defines a mensch as "an upright, honorable, decent person."
He also describes a mensch as "someone of consequence; someone
to admire and emulate; someone of noble character." Danny
Siegel is a major proponent of teaching about and doing tzedakah.
He publishes a yearly newsletter of people who have had an impact
on others through their continuing acts of mitzvot and tzedakah.
He describes a mensch as "an upright responsible, decent,
caring, compassionate person."
However you define it, seeing our students
act like menschen (plural of mensch) is a source of pride
for us and them. This year, "The Year of the Mensch"
we will be helping students to become more aware of the value
of menschlichkeit (mensch-like behavior) and we will applaud
their menschlich actions.
Look for our monthly mensch bulletin
boards in the upstairs hallway of the school. In the coming months
I will be providing some family mensch activities. Most of all,
catch your children acting like menschen and compliment
them with the title of mensch. Take note of other people who are
menschen and explain their actions to your children. Model being
a mensch to your children.
The news is full of acts that are not
menschlichkeit. It is easy to feel that there is nothing we can
do. However, this summer I have been receiving thank you letters
from all of the organizations that have been impacted by our student's
tzedakah contributions. Be sure to look at the bulletin board
to see the letters of appreciation from as far away as Israel.
These acts truly make a difference.
Let us approach the new year of 5757
with a spirit that will build a community of menschen -- who knows
how much we can accomplish!
Wishing you and yours a shanah tovah,
a good year.

Join the Band!
Calling all musicians: this year, on Simchat
Torah (Friday night, October 4th on the Reform calendar), we'd
like to try something new! A "pick-up" band composed
of Temple members will provide the music for the Simchat Torah
dancing and celebration with the Torah. We will have one rehearsal
to go over several pieces of simple, appropriate music. The ability
to improvise is not required but will be helpful. If you're interested,
please contact Rabbi Kraus through the Temple office.

Reform Movement Responds to Church Burnings
Over the summer, the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations (UAHC) announced a grassroots initiative to show
moral and financial support for the nearly 40 churches which have
been destroyed or damaged by fire over the past 18 months. The
project, entitled: "Rebuilding Faith in America: A Jewish
Response to Church Burnings," is being coordinated jointly
by the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington
and our regional office in Needham. If you've not yet offered
your tangible and moral support to our Christian brothers and
sisters in their time of loss, please consider making a check
out to "Rebuilding Faith/UAHC." Please send your tzedakah
checks to the regional office [UAHC Northeast Council; 75 Second
Avenue (Suite 550); Needham 02194].
PS-If all goes well, our congregation also
will send some used school furniture to a congregation whose church
was destroyed in Knoxville, Tennessee! We'll keep you posted.

Rosh Hodesh
On Tuesday, September 17 at 7:30 p.m. the first meeting
of the Sisterhood Rosh Hodesh group will meet at the home of Sheila
Doctoroff, 8 Lorimer Road, Belmont.
We will discuss Teshuvah or repentance -- the emotional
cycle from joy to solemnity and back to joy. This process is a
gradual cleansing of the soul which takes place as we enter the
Days of Awe.
We will read blessings for the new moon and discuss
plans for future Rosh Hodesh meetings.
Please join us for an informational meeting as we
enjoy some foods of the season and explore various themes for
the month of Tishre. Please call Sheila Doctoroff (after
September 3) if you would like to join us!

Prepare for the Days of Awe
On Saturday night, September 7th, our congregation
will observe the ancient tradition of reciting special Selichot
(penitential) prayers in preparation for the Days of Awe. Since
we gather after the summer break, we begin by renewing our friendships
and our community with a small pot-luck dessert at 9:00 p.m.
At 10:00 p.m., we move into the sanctuary for a beautiful service
of reflection and prayer. This service combines both traditional
and contemporary selichot readings and songs. Please plan to
join us as we usher in the Days of Awe and prepare ourselves for
the work of teshuvah (repentance).

Update on the North American
Coalition to Advance Religious Pluralism in Israel
In May of 1996, in anticipation of the
Israeli elections, a history-making coalition was formed between
6 Reform organizations, 8 Conservative agencies, one Reconstructionist
group, the American Jewish Congress, Labor Zionist Alliance, NA'AMAT
USA, and the New Israel Fund. These 19 representatives of over
3,000,000 North American Jews stated in a joint letter, sent to
both candidates, that they cannot emphasize enough the
damage that may result from making political concessions that
would perpetuate and even exacerbate these denials of religious
rights and opportunities for our people in Israel. ARZA
is an organizer of this new North American Coalition to Advance
Religious Pluralism in Israel. Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch, ARZA Executive
Director, is one of the founding co-chairs of the coalition.
After the elections and before the government
was formed, the coalition sent a second letter to Prime Minister
Netanyahu expressing concern about the concessions that may be
made to the Orthodox parties at the expense of religious freedom:
"Specifically, we view with alarm the prospect of legislation
that would overturn recent High Court of Justice rulings in the
matters of conversion and non-Orthodox participation in religious
councils."
The Prime Minister has promised the
Orthodox parties that Reform and Conservative representatives
will be prohibited from sitting on municipal religious councils
and that they (the Orthodox) will have sole authority over conversions.
In light of such agreements, your support of ARZA is more important
now than ever before!
For more information about the North
American Coalition to Advance Religious Pluralism in Israel or
any of ARZA's programs, please contact the ARZA office
at 212-650-4280.

Jewish Philosophy Study Group
The Jewish Philosophy Study Group will next meet on Wednesday,
September 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Temple. We will discuss the Kabballah
specifically in regard to dreams and music. There will be copies
of the readings in the Adult Education box at the Temple office.
Anyone can come and join the group and new members are always
welcome. You do not need to have any prior knowledge. If you have
any questions or concerns, please call me, Julian Harlowe.

Adult Education
This year, on Yom Kippur, Adult Education will be
offering a Study group, immediately following morning services.
Our leaders will be Toby Koritsky and Mike Wolfson. We will study
the Text of the Jonah story, and, we hope that
people will join us. Just to note that even though our more
"traditional"
afternoon services will not be taking place this year, we hope
this will still provide a way for our Temple family to pray together
on this holy day. (I would like to believe that our learning may
be prayerful.)
We are also looking forward to another year of collaboration
with the Outreach Committee. For more news concerning the first
of our co-sponsored workshops, please read Cindy Rubin's
Outreach column.
On Wednesday evening, September 11th The
Jewish Philosophy Study Group will have their monthly meeting.
This month's theme will be Music and Dreams in
the Kaballah. If you have any questions about this group,
please contact Julian Harlowe.
In October, we hope to start a Contemporary Conversational
Hebrew class. Our teacher will be Yehudit Shem-tov, who has been
a teacher in the Beth El Religious School. The class will plan
to meet for 8 or 10 consecutive Tuesdays evenings beginning October
1. Tuition will be about $80 per pupil, and we will need at least
10 students for it to happen. This would be a wonderful class
for anyone who is taking part in our Congregational trip to Israel
(or anyone else) and Yehudit will be a wonderful teacher. Please
contact me or the Temple office for more information. We will
need to know soon.
Torah Discussion ends, and begins, anew this month!
Each and every Saturday morning at 9:00 before services. And remember
Beth El Adult Education whenever you may want to study with your
congregational family. Please join us!

OUTREACH
L''Shana Tova! The Outreach Committee
is already meeting and planning its programs for the coming year.
This month we are pleased to be co-sponsoring with the Adult
Education Committee the following two programs:
The High Holiday Workshop on Sunday,
September 8 at 9:30 a.m. at the Temple.
Featuring the Liturgical highlights of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kipper,
a discussion of the spiritual challenges of the
holidays and a cooking session led by our own Jewish culinary
historian, Ruth Master, who will share with us and demonstrate
some of her favorite high holiday dishes. Babysitting will be
provided.
Sukkot Celebration on Sunday,
September 29 at 3:00 p.m. at a member's home
in Belmont.
Please join us as we decorate a sukkah and celebrate this very
festive holiday. We will have an informal service and enjoy a
sumptuous potluck supper inside the sukkah. All ages welcome.
To get more information, please call the temple office.
The Outreach Committee helps to make
a place in Jewish life for individuals and families who may feel
themselves on the periphery of the "traditional"
Jewish community. While many of our programs help everyone in
our community to make Jewish choices, we especially reach out
to welcome singles, interfaith families, Jews-by-choice, gay and
lesbian families, disabled individuals, multi-racial families
and others. We invite you to explore with us the beauty of living
a Jewish life. If you are interested in participating on our
committee or for more information, please call me.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
We are about to begin an exciting new
year. Toby Koritsky, our Director of Education, has been working
this summer to create an enriching experience for all of our students
and their families. New activities include the Grade 3 "Gesher"
(bridge) Family Education Program and the Grade 2 "Dov the

hallway bulletin boards. and several newly painted classrooms.
We appreciate the work our Temple staff has done to get the school
ready.
The Religious School Parent Orientation
is scheduled for September 11 at 7:30 P.M. This is an opportunity
for parents to meet the teachers and hear about their plans for
the year ahead, as well as an opportunity to see other parents.
The first day of Hebrew School will
be September 16, the first day of Sunday School will be September
29. Confirmation class will also begin September 29 for Grades
8,9 and 10.
The first School Committee meeting will
be Monday, September 9, at 7:30 P.M. at the Temple. Throughout
the year we will discuss policy issues, programming and any specific
issues of concern. We also will have outside speakers on subjects
of interest. We encourage parents to attend these meetings and
join the committee. If you have any questions, please call me.
We look forward to a rewarding year
of achievement through the involvement and commitment of our staff,
