Rosh Hodesha new month

Heshvan Rosh Hodesh, the start of each Hebrew month when the new crescent moon appears in the sky, is a time for celebration and reflection, bringing with it hope, light and promise, growth and fulfillment, not only for the moon but for us. Rosh Hodesh Heshvan, the start of the new month, is SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5th, so look for the new crescent moon on Friday October 4th! Heshvan is often called Mar Heshvan, Bitter Cheshvan, because it is the only month in the entire Jewish year that does not have a holiday celebration. This means it is up to us – in our celebrations of Shabbat, personal life cycles, and communal gatherings – to learn and do acts of social justice to bring sweetness and celebration into our world, to create opportunities to join with others, to share meals and conversation even without a holiday to bring us together!

The Temple Beth-El Shofar is dedicated by the Chase Family Foundation.

Dr. Fred Lazin was born in the United States and moved to Israel in the 1970s to teach at Ben Gurion University. The author of numerous books and articles, Lazin is internationally recognized for his insights on the evolution of the American Jewish community, Soviet Jewry, the role of religion in Israel and the complexities of the Israeli political scene.

We sit quietly, becoming fully present with ourselves and to those around us; we sing some simple prayers and offer some simple wishes for healing. You don’t need to be ill to come, nor to be praying for anyone in particular. The healing service is based on the assumption that human beings are always in a state of becoming whole, that we are imperfect in our bodies and in our spirits and always in need of support to become our best selves. The Minyan Kaddish list will be read.

BROTHERHOOD IS BACK!

Become a fan on Facebook

FALL is here, and so is the Brotherhood of Temple Beth El. We’re stationed at our old stomping grounds… at the Bagel Café, each week that religious school takes place. We were behind the hot grills at last Summer’s Shabbat Under the Stars, and we helped sponsor the celebrations during the High Holidays.

We’re behind the scenes; we’re in the front row, wherever and whenever the members of Beth-El need anything (within reason), we’re there to help.

You can’t really welcome Fall without a traditional Brotherhood Breakfast, so here we go. We’re kicking things off on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20th at 9AM with a Temple Beth-El member who has a fascinating story. Get ready to meet our own Art Solomon. Art Solomon is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the DSF Group, the company that owns five minor league baseball teams, including the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, a Double-A Toronto Blue Jays affiliate, and the Bowling Green Hot Rods, a Single-A Tampa Bay Rays affiliate. You’ll hear all about what it’s like to own not one, but five baseball

Next, we’re looking to entertain you like never before! We’re bringing one of Las Vegas’ top acts right to Beth-El on NOVEMBER16th. You must see the Edwards Twins live in the meeting hall. They will amaze and astound you as they become Elton John, Cher, Billy Joel, Bette Midler, and hundreds more. They look like them, they move like them, they sound like them. You’ll think you’re watching the real stars.

This is Brotherhood’s major fundraiser of the year, and it’s one you’ll thank us for bringing you. Tickets are just $35 each, (about half of what you’ll pay locally, and a fraction of what you’ll pay in Vegas or Atlantic City). So PLEASE join us, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16th right in the Meeting Hall. Snacks and drinks will be available.

Temple Beth-El CemeteryOUR HISTORY & EVOLUTION

Our synagogue’s history and evolution can be traced through visits to the cemetery, where you can study the earliest grave markers from the 1850s, walk past mausoleums built in the early 1900s, and note the markers and monuments of the 21st century. A brief summary of how we came to have this cemetery space provides some historical perspective.

On September 10, 1849, approximately one acre of land on the New London Turnpike, now Reservoir Avenue, was conveyed to Solomon Pareira, Leonard Gavitts and Morris Steinberg, to whom the land was assessed at $100. Five years later – in 1854 – the Congregation Sons of Israel and David was founded. In 1857, Mr. Pareira, the congregation’s first president, deeded the cemetery land “as and for a cemetery for the burial of the members of said Congregation Sons of Israel and David and no other purpose.” In 1870, a fence along Reservoir Avenue was constructed and that fence still stands today. Since 1870, the cemetery has grown from one acre to more than five, and in

the mid-1980s, given growing concerns about space constraints, the area was reconfigured to create 700 new grave sites.Temple Beth-El sells cemetery plots to our members and their families. We have plots for sale at Congregation Sons of Israel and David Cemetery on Reservoir Avenue in Cranston. We

do this as a service to our members and to encourage them to plan ahead as a gift to their loved ones.

Contact Judy Moseley,

Executive Director, 401-331-6070 or jmoseley@temple-beth-el.org, for information about the cost of plots and the exact location. Judy will show you the plots and answer your questions.

Pre-Need Arrangements:

Judy is also able to answer questions and provide information about the services and products offered by the cemeteries and the mortuaries. Arrangements can be made to set money aside or to purchase these services at today’s prices. Again, contact Judy at 401-331- 6070 or jmoseley@temple-beth-el.org.

I’m becoming a part of the Jewish community and I will continue to pass on the Jewish traditions.” For her Mitzvah Mania Project, Hannah will be helping with a ballet class at Everett Dance Theatre. This class is a storybook ballet class which means the student dancers get to make up their own ballet. It is for kids ages 6 -9. Also, no one is turned down.

ROBERT GIBBS ARI FLEISCHERFull Court Press: Inside the Bush

& Obama White Houses

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23rd

Why are we so often surprised when underdogs win? Do Goliaths make mistakes in spite of their strength~or because of it? Why are the childhoods of people at the top of so many professions marked by deprivation? Malcolm Gladwell, uncovers the hidden rules that shape the balance between the weak and the mighty.

Malcolm Gladwell has been a staff writer with The New Yorker magazine since 1996. He is the author of several books including, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Make a Big Difference, (2000), Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (2005), and Outliers: The Story of Success (2008).

You know that Alan Dershowitz, the preeminent defense lawyer in America today, has had an impact on the lives of storied clients like O. J. Simpson, Claus von Bülow, Bill Clinton, Julian Assange, Jeffrey MacDonald, Patty Hearst, Mike Tyson, and many more. But who has affected Dershowitz himself?

Professor Alan M. Dershowitz is a Brooklyn native who has been called “the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer” and one of its “most distinguished defenders of individual rights,” “the best-known criminal lawyer in the world,” “the top lawyer of last resort,” “America’s most public Jewish defender” and “Israel’s single most visible defender – the Jewish state’s lead attorney in the court of public opinion.”

Go inside the West Wing with two men who gave voice to America’s last two presidents~Robert Gibbs and Ari Fleischer, the first White House press secretaries for President Obama and President George W. Bush. A lively night of stories and candid reflection about the nation’s leadership, moderated by former chief White House correspondent Ben Feller,who covered both presidents for The Associated Press.
