A Guide to the 2013 High Holy Days
High Holy Days 5774
A Message from Rabbi David Gelfand
Dear Friends,
In his great legal code, the Mishneh Torah, Maimonides teaches that the sound of the shofar serves as an alarm clock, announcing, "Sleepers, arouse yourselves from your slumber!" Why do we blow the ram's horn? What does this strange, primal, yet mystical and foundational, ritual have to do with any one of us. For whom does the shofar blow...?
Stop right here, even if just for a moment, and think: "Would it be Rosh Hashanah if I didn't hear the shofar?" "Would I feel fulfilled if the synagogue I joined told me 'We just don't do that archaic ram's horn thing anymore'? " "Would it make any difference if we never showed, or blew or taught our young children about the shofar?"
The shofar is one of the world's oldest wind instruments. Not be be confused with the negative role that the golden calf played in undermining the Jewish people's faith at Sinai, never have we used horns from a cow or an ox. And a shofar was never to be straight; customarily curved it symbolizes the human heart bent in humility and in the act of teshuvah, repentance. Shofar literally means "horn" or "trumpet" and one of the names of Rosh Hashanah is "Yom Teruah," the Day of Blowing the Shofar.
The shofar's origin and import are shrouded in history and legend, all leading to create a sense of kedushah, of profound holiness, for the purpose of reinforcing primary Jewish values and affirming the covenant between God and every Jew from Abraham and Isaac on Mt. Moriah to all of us in the 21st Century. The call of the shofar touches the innermost corners of our hearts, our minds and our souls - whether we see ourselves as seriously engaged in Judaism or whether we stand on the periphery of Jewish life; it is a primary Jewish symbol.
"And God said, 'Take your son, your favored one, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains...'" As we recount each Rosh Hashanah, God spared Isaac and in his stead, a ram was caught in the nearby thicket by his horn, our ram's horn. So it all began and the ram's horn would then speak of Abraham's deep love of God and his willingness to share that which he loved so dearly. The call of the shofar was then to be an abiding bond to the covenant with God and as a sign of humility by each human being.
The shofar was blown across the centuries as if a prayer without words to help each generation unto today recall Abraham's abiding fidelity to his belief in a God who demanded nothing less than a total commitment to ethical monotheism. So it was that when Moses went to Mount Sinai the second time to receive the Ten Commandments, there was sounded the awesome blast of the ram's horn to remind the children of Israel that they were not to fall victim to any form of idolatry. And when Joshua stood before the ancient walled city of Jericho some 3,000 years ago it was the sound of the ram's horn that spoke to God and caused the walls to crumble and allow Israel to triumph.
During times of greats processions when the young King David marched with the ark of the covenant and the Ten Commandments through the streets of a new born city, the ram's horn was heard so that God would be with the children of Israel in this nascent city of peace which they called Yerushalayim, Jerusalem. And when David called upon his son Solomon to become King of Israel, the ram's horn was blown and only then was he anointed.
In ancient Israel, across the centuries of the great Temple standing in Jerusalem for nearly a thousand years, Shabbat was welcomed as dusk descended by the ram's horn, from the corners of the Temple Mount, so that all Israel would be mindful of the Sabbath and the day of rest and celebration of creation, thereby affirming family, community and faith, was at hand. And when it was time for the Jubilee Year, every 50th year, on the 10th day of the 7th month, on Yom HaKippur, the Day of Atonement, there was to be a blowing of the ram's horn to proclaim liberty throughout the land, as inscribed on one of our most precious American symbols, the Liberty Bell. In more modern times, as the Six Day War was concluding and Jerusalem was unified once again, Rabbi Shlomo Goren blew the ram's horn at the Wailing Wall, thus reclaiming it as the Western Wall of The Temple, proclaiming victory for Israel against those who sought her destruction.
May we at Temple Israel hear the shofar blow for us and our loved ones welcoming in the New Year of 5773 - to once again affirm our faith in God, in ourselves and in our community. May it help us have courageous faith to right the wrongs about us and to find ways to make the year ahead better than the year which we will be concluding. May the call of the ancient shofar, so much a part of the Jewish mystique, call on the messiah to create a world of peace for us and those who will come after us. And if he/she does not come, may we live as if she/he has, and may those shofar blasts give us an awareness of the preciousness of life and the sweetness of God's love that can be found in the dawn of each new day and as the dusk serenely fades to night , in the beauty of each frail flower and every baby's smile, in the love we receive and share with those closest to us, and in every astonishing beat of our heart .
For whom does the shofar blow?
God willing - for each of us who is privileged to hear its call in another new year!
"L'shana tova tikateivu...
May you & your loved ones be inscribed for a good year!"
Rabbi David J. Gelfand
Preparing for the High Holy Days
MONTH OF ELUL
Join us as we prepare for the High Holy Days through study, music, and worship to reawaken your spirit. The journey begins during the Hebrew month of Elul, this year beginning in mid-august. Traditionally, Elul is a month of preparation where we, as Jews, make teshuvah (repentance or turning), turning inward for self-evaluation, turning and reflecting upon our deeds of the previous year, and returning to God.
SELICHOT
Reawaken your spirit for the High Holy Days with a program and service that will elevate your soul, bring you closer to God, and set the tone for renewal for the coming year. This year, we will hold a sweets & treats event in the Hamptons and a special program at Temple Israel. This evening is open to the entire community. Join us for a Selichot program and Service of Reflection & Forgiveness.
Selichot is the name of the prayers of forgiveness we say during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Selichot is also the name of the service recited on the Saturday night before the start of Rosh Hashanah. In both the prayers and the service, we ask God’s forgiveness, much as the overture to an opera which introduces the themes that will be developed in greater depth throughout the Holy Days. All are welcome.
High Holy Day Services - Explained
Each Service is meaningful and spiritually moving. Tickets are required for members and guests for all Services, except for afternoon Kidz Services, Tashlich, Rosh HashanahLIVE (2nd Day) and Yom Kippur Afternoon/Yizkor Memorial/Neilah Service.
Worship in the Sanctuary and the Ballroom
Our Rabbis’ and Cantors’ inspirational and eloquent presence is infused with the warmth and drama of the beautiful music of the Holy Days. We invite all of our families to join us for worship in either the Sanctuary or the Ballroom. Sanctuary worship includes the majestic sounds of our professional choir and musicians while Ballroom worship incorporates contemporary, participatory music with professional musicians.
Worship in the Ballroom is held on Rosh Hashanah Morning, Kol Nidre (Yom Kippur Eve) and Yom Kippur Morning. On Erev Rosh Hashanah we invite the entire congregation to welcome the New Year together in our Sanctuary, at 6pm or families with children Grades 2-6 in the Ballroom for a more informal service. On Kol Nidre, the family service will be held at 6:00 pm and the congregational services will be held in either the Sanctuary or Ballroom at 8:00pm. For Yom Kippur Afternoon/Yizkor/Neilah, we again worship all together in the Sanctuary 3:00-6:15 pm.
Rosh HashanahLIVE (Second Day Service)
Join us for a lively, contemporary, dynamic and fresh take on the experience of prayer at Temple Israel. Using the High Holy Day liturgy, Rosh HashanahLIVE brings the second day of Rosh Hashanah to another level with spiritually uplifting music and inspiring remarks by several congregants. The totally musical service is an inspirational combination of new and much loved sounds of the season. A full band helps bring it all to life as we pray in the spirit of our beloved ShabbatLIVE services here at Temple Israel. It is like no other High Holy Day service you have been to and a very unique way to pray and sing in the New Year.
For our younger ones (PreK-Grade 1), we simultaneously offer in the Ballroom an interactive program and exciting Rosh Hashanah Concert for Kidz performed by “Shira & Friends”!
An informal New Year's Lunch for all (including kid friendly food) follows at 11:30AM. RSVP requested. To RSVP click here, call us 212-249-500, or email us admin@tinyc.org
H2D Project: Interactive • Dynamic • Inspiring
Grades K-8. Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur Mornings.
Age-appropriate and celebratory programming for children while parents attend adult Services. In separate groups, children and teens in Grades K-8 join in discussions, create artwork, games and programs that help them delve into the themes of the season. In addition, they participate in a half-hour children’s age-appropriate service within their individual grades led by Rabbis Melissa Buyer and Sara Sapadin. We involve Religious School teachers for this program to ensure both quality and a feeling of comfort for all.
Tashlich
Tashlich means to cast or throw metaphorically discarding sins by tossing crumbs of food into a moving body of water. We have prepared a brief, 15 minute, beautiful service for this moving ritual. Attendees often say that this is the most moving ritual of the Holy Days! We meet at Carl Schurz Park @ 86th Street on Rosh Hashanah Day afternoon.
Healing Service
For all seeking comfort of body, mind and spirit for themselves and/or loved ones. If you are ill or a caretaker of a loved one, if you are yet pained over the loss of a loved one or trauma, if you live with a broken heart or shattered soul, our special Healing Service is for you.

Book of Remembrance 5774
IMPORTANT CHANGE
We invite you to honor the memory of your loved ones by listing their names in our annual Book of Remembrance.
The Temple has installed a new database system this year, so we request that you provide us with the names that you wish to be included – even if they have been listed in the past – as we will print only names that are resubmitted.
The Book of Remembrance also includes The Perpetual Yahrzeit List, which memorializes those whose names are consecrated on Memorial Plaques, Seats, Windows, and our congregation's ritual items. Additionally, there are readings for comfort throughout the year and Yizkor prayers.
We will distribute The Book of Remembrance at our Yizkor Memorial Service on Yom Kippur afternoon.
We encourage all to engage in this act of thoughtful, generous tzedakah as a sacred way to honor loved ones, so their goodness will bless the lives of others.
Please contact: Valerie Trawinski at vtrawinski@tinyc.org or 646-292-9465 by Friday, August 12 to insure that your listing is included.
Greeters
If you wish to be a greeter at High Holy Days, please contact Bob Waldman at Waldmanbob@yahoo.com
It’s always the right time to help others but with the High Holy Days we think more conscientiously about extending ourselves to those in need.
Bring non-perishable foods to Temple (including household, paper goods, soup & toothpaste etc.) Other items needed are: peanut butter, canned fish, pasta/rice, canned fruit, canned vegetables, baby food, powdered milk & canned soups.
Our High Holy Day Food Drive begins on Rosh Hashanah and continues through Thanksgiving. Bring your food & other non-perishable items with you to every service. Our Social Action Committee will provide sturdy bags. Collection bins are in the lobby. Our drive helps meet real needs including the need for each of us to perform again and again the mitzvah of tzedakah.
Please bring your Tzedakah Box from Mitzvah Day or any Tzedakah Box and empty it in the TI Lobby from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur. (Box collections will also occur at Chanukah and Purim, as well as TI Mitzvah Day.)
The monies go to the TI Tzedakah Fund to help the hungry and the needy in our community, administered by our Social Action Committee and our Clergy.
For Families

I have tickets to the Ballroom Service on Erev Rosh Hashanah. I see a worship service in the Ballroom scheduled. Can I use that ticket for the Sanctuary?

Everyone attending High Holy Day Services, other than the Kidz Services, H2D Project, Tashlich, & Rosh Hashanah Second Day/Rosh HashanahLIVE will need a High Holy Day ticket.
