Boca Raton SynagogueValuing Diversity • Celebrating Unity

FROM THE RABBI’S DESK Imagine the following scene playing out on C-SPAN: On a specific day of the year, the Supreme Court justices together with the members of Congress take copies of the United States Constitution and dance around the floor of the House of Representatives while singing, clapping and lifting the law books high in the air. With each circuit of those carrying the Constitution, the others lean in to affectionately kiss the books as they pass by. This entire scenario seems impossible and the very suggestion of this scene is ludicrous. And yet, this is exactly what we do on Simchas Torah in Shuls around the world. We collect all the Torahs from around the shul, sing and dance in a spirited fashion and kiss each Torah as it passes us by. What explains our seemingly bizarre behavior, especially in contrast with the attitude and approach every other legal system and religion brings to their law books? Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks writes so beautifully:“A Torah scroll is the nearest thing Judaism has to a holy object. Still written today as it was thousands of years ago — on parchment, using a quill, by a master-scribe — it is our most cherished possession. We stand in its presence as if it were a king. We dance with it as if it were a bride. We kiss it as if it were a friend. If, God forbid, one is damaged beyond repair, we mourn it as if it were a member of the family. The Koran calls Jews a “people of the book,” but this is an understatement. We are a people only because of the

book. It is our constitution as a holy nation under the sovereignty of God. It is God’s love letter to the children of Israel. We study it incessantly. We read it in the synagogue each week, completing it in a year. During the long centuries of Jewish exile, it was our ancestors’ memory of the past and hope for the future. It was, said the German poet Heinrich Heine, the “portable homeland” of the Jew. Some Christians have found it hard to understand the Jewish love of law. To them it sometimes seems like an obsession with detail, the “letter” rather than the ‘spirit.’”

We live in a world of great darkness in which people are desperately searching for meaning, purpose, happiness, joy, direction, fulfillment, family values, and more. While so much of the world struggles, we are amazingly blessed, fortunate and privileged to be charged by the ideals, values and laws of the Torah that truly provides a prescription for a meaningful life. It is not ours alone and we have no monopoly on its message. Etz chaim hi, lamachazikim bah, it is a tree of life for all those who hold on to it. As we close in on seven long and intensive weeks that began with the first of Elul and concludes with Simchas Torah, many of us feel burnt out, tired, and sick of cooking, eating, long davening and yes, even preparing and listening to sermons and classes. It is no coincidence that exactly when we begin to feel Jewish holidays and observant life are burdensome and difficult that we observe Simchas Torah and remember how fortunate and blessed we are to have Torah and the true simcha it brings. Rabbi Sacks writes elsewhere:

“If you want to understand Jews and Judaism, think of Simchat Torah. It’s the only festival that is the pure creation of the Jewish People. All the others were either written in the Torah or came about through historical events, like Purim and Hanukkah. Not so Simchat Torah, which isn’t mentioned in the Torah, not even in the Talmud. It appeared for the first time in the early middle ages. Now you might have thought that with all their dispersion and persecution Jews would have created a fast, but they didn’t. They created a day of pure joy. And joy in what? In the Torah, a book of law…If you want to understand Jews and Judaism, think of Simchat Torah and we realise that Judaism is really a love story: the story of the love of a people for a book, the book with which we dance with on Simchat Torah as if it were a bride.”

Next week, when Simchas Torah ends, let’s not put our bride away in a closet or Ark. Let’s continue to get to know her, to fall in love with her, to celebrate our relationship with her and to dance with her throughout the year. Now is the time to renew our commitment to study and celebrate Torah. There is no shortage of opportunities at BRS. Please consider taking advantage of the following from among the many we offer. For more information on any of them, please contact the Shul office.• Adult Education Program – our brand new brochure is in the mail and will be arriving at your homes shortly. There is a

comprehensive calendar of classes, programs, events and learning opportunities for beginners, intermediate and advanced. A tremendous thank you is due to Rabbi Moskowitz for this tireless work in organizing this amazing brochure.

• People of the Book, Part II – The highlight of our learning program again this year is a weekly class on Tuesday nights called “The People of the Book.” Join the BRS Rabbis as we examine the major books of the Jewish People throughout the ages and delve into different periods of Jewish History and key Jewish personalities.

• Daily Minyanim – Make this your year to attend daily morning minyan. You wake up early – we have a daily minyan at 6:15/6:25. You like to sleep in – we now have a daily 8:30am minyan. Need something in between – try the 7:00 or 7:45.

• Tuesday Morning with the Rabbis – Please consider joining me for my weekly Parsha class at 9:30 am on Tuesday morning. Stay

“ Keep Dancing All Year Long”


In the spirit of our mission “Valuing Diversity and Celebrating Unity,” we believe that a community is built on the collective engagement of individuals representing differing perspectives, whether religious, political, or social. As Boca Raton Synagogue is an environment where all of its members and visitors need to feel valued and welcomed, members are required to comport themselves in a manner which reflects mutual respect and a sense of inclusiveness. In our Synagogue, we value debate about pressing issues. This is consistent with the American democratic tradition. Our sages saw the value of arguments conducted l”shem shamayim“ for the sake of heaven,” believing that great minds who engage in respectful debate, will arrive at better solutions. They valued and welcomed alternate views, as do we. “Derech Eretz,” good and proper conduct, and mutually respectful dialogue are core values of the Synagogue community. These create a “safe place” for inspiration and spiritual growth, the central purpose of the Synagogue. It is a violation of Jewish law and ethics to use harsh language (vitriol) to demonize or to marginalize people with whom one may disagree. Uncivil expression reflects negatively on our Synagogue as well as on the individuals who engage in such behavior. Boca Raton Synagogue expects its members to act and to speak with kindness and sensitivity to others. It is only in this fashion that a strong, vibrant, and harmonious community can be created and maintained. Adherence to this policy is a requirement for membership in good standing at the Boca Raton Synagogue.

HALACHIC QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK

Aba Chonah ben Hava Chana - Alan GrossAmerican Jew Alan Gross has been wrongly held in a Cuban prison since December 2009. Since that time, Alan’s physical and emotional state has deteriorated. He has lost over one hundred pounds and has suffered partial paralysis. Join us to call upon the Cuban government and the international community for the immediate release of Alan on humanitarian grounds. For more information and to get involved, visit www.jcouncil.org

Yehonatan ben Malka - Jonathan PollardJonathan Pollard has been imprisoned in the United States since 1987. While working as an American civilian intelligence analyst, Pollard has admitted to passing classified information to Israel. Although even his most ardent supporters agree that he was in the wrong and guilty, the nature and length of his imprisonment is disproportionate and unparalleled. Join a multitude of prominent politicians, officials from the national intelligence world, and the legal world who have called for Pollard’s sentence to be commuted. For more information and to sign a petition, visit www.jonathanpollard.org.
