In 15:10, there is a purportedly unnecessary phrase: "You will surely give to him person in need] and you should not PART I [the feel bad in your heart when giving him, because on account of this word/thing (hadavar hazeh), Adonai, your God will bless you in all your deeds and in every mission of your hand." Talmudists get very excited about hadavar hazeh and a lot of ink is spilled to explain what exactly the word/thing is that will bring us so much blessing. More on that fascinating etymological and spiritual journey next time! They end up talking about how important it is for us to greet/receive each other (kabbalat panim) intentionally. "One should greet every human with a friendly countecontinued on Page 9 nance... if a person gives to his/her I Reminding One Another n his classic work, The Path of the Just, Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzato begins by declaring, I did not compose this treatise to teach people that which they do not know, but rather to remind them of what they already know. I reflect upon this passage every year during this time. This season of which we are currently in the midst, culminating in Yom Kippur, is one of remembering. In fact, an alternative name for Rosh Hashanah is Yom Ha-zikaron: A Day of Remembrance. Rather than striving to become someone new, we instead can utilize these weeks to remind ourselves of who we truly are. Certainly, as we reflect on our lives, examining where we have hurt others and considering how we can refine ourselves, we learn new things. But in my experience, the most critical learning we do is that of remembering who we most genuinely aspire to be. And collectively, now perhaps more than ever in most of our lifetimes, we are asked to remember the world we aspire to co-create. What a time to begin this journey together, Havurah and its new rabbi. And while there will be much that is new on both of our ends, the new will be animated and sanctified by its alignment with that which is primary and essential within each of us. Certainly for me, as I begin this new chapter, I find myself reflecting on what sent me down the rabbinic path in the first place. As I started out, I would frequently ask myself: How can my service help alleviate suffering in this world? Now more than ever, this question resonates. Teshuvah, the foundational exercise of this season, means literally, returning. While often translated as repentance, at its heart it involves a reawakening to how we intend to live and treat others, and a reorientation of our compass in that direction. Remembering who we are is no easy task. It demands honesty, compassion, and a sincere dedication to change. And when violence and narrowness are emboldened in the world, we must Continued on Page 6

We raised money among our friends to give those kids the supplies they needed and a boost to start the school year. PHFS makes a profound difference in the lives of families experiencing homelessness. It helps over 180 families each year, with more than 50 of those families living in the shelter for some period of time. Over 90% of the families move into stable housing, and over 90% of those families are still in housing one year later. The staff treats the families with an incredible amount of respect and dignity, using the latest techniques in trauma informed care. They have an extremely well-run program for volunteers. But that s a bunch of statistics. Let me finish with a story. The last time I worked at the shelter, I saw that one parent needed a 4:00 am wake up call. I thought she needed to wake up to care for her young child, but I was wrong. She needed to wake up at 4:00 am to make it to work. She is just one example of the families being served by PHFS. If you are intrigued, contact Gloria Halper (losninos6@gmail.com) for more information. She can explain the orientation process and put you in touch with the folks at PHFS. John Devlin Book Discussion 7:00pm I started volunteering at Portland Homeless Family Solutions just over a year ago. Once a month, a group from Havurah staffs the PHFS night shelter preparing a meal, playing with the kids, and converting a church gym into a sleeping area for eight families. I had seen the display about PHFS at High Holidays and read about the work of the Havurah volunteers in HaKol. I was intrigued, but I never took the leap too busy, they seem to have enough help, etc. I suspect some of you have had the same thoughts. Last spring, I decided to give it a try. I can still remember my first night at the shelter. The volunteers didn t serve a meal to the families they sat down and ate a meal with the families. The kids were just like any other kids they wanted to run and jump and laugh. Two little girls made some funny pictures of me. I brought them home to my daughter, as my first effort to have her see that there are kids in our community who are not as lucky as her -- my first effort to have her understand her moral duty to help people in her community. I was hooked. I started attending the Havurah night whenever I could, and I started volunteering on other nights as well. Last August, my wife, Rachel, and I learned that the kids living in the shelter would not have any 24 (4 Tishrei) Fast of Gedalia High Holidays Cemetery Gathering Hooked on Helping at the Hollow

3 Donate to the Tikkun Olam Tzedakah Project at High Holidays Over this past year, Havurahniks have volunteered countless hours of direct service with two local organizations helping families get settled in new homes. Portland Homeless Family Solutions (PHFS) supports homeless families at the Goose Hollow Family Shelter transition to new homes, and Catholic Charities supports new refugees arriving in Portland. To further support this work, this year's Havurah High Holiday Tikkun Olam Tzedakah Project will be, as it was last year, to collect household items that will be used by PHFS and Catholic Charities in creating Welcome Baskets for the families each organization helps. Oregon s homeless and refugee families have already faced tremendous challenges, but our collective support offers needed supplies as these families start their new lives. This High Holiday season you can help by bringing some of the specific new and unused household items from the Welcome Baskets list below. Containers to put all donated items in will be set up on the fourth floor of the Tiffany Center. Tikkun Olam Committee members will be coordinating the delivery of your generously donated items to the PHFS/Goose Hollow Shelter and to Catholic Charities. Tikkun Olam Learn more about the Sanctuary Committee The Sanctuary Committee has two active subgroups: Community Engagement and Political Action. Activities include: Working with a group of immigrant women through the Clara Vista program, regular support actions at ICE offices, 4 trips to the prison in The Dalles to protest inappropriate detention of immigrants, legal observer work with ACLU, accompanying immigrants to legal appointments, and active participation with IMIrJ (the Interfaith Movement for Immigrant Justice).

Equity Committee to set goals & priorities at upcoming meeting EQUITY Meeting date: Wednesday, September 13 at 7 pm We recognize that we need to do more to address equity issues so a group of Havurah members met last winter and early spring, in a two-part series of classes to help us crystalize our concerns and priorities regarding Equity and Privilege. Class members, joined by other congregants, are continuing to meet to concretize plans for moving this work forward. The next planning meeting is September 13 at 7 pm at Havurah. Please join us! Please let us know of your interest, or if you have questions, by contacting Susan Rosenthal (sarosenthall@msn.com). 3

The group will vote on the suggestions during the Oct. 24 meeting. Maavar New Workshops for End of Life Matters The Ma'avar Committee will again lead a workshop dedicated to helping people talk about end-of-life issues and wishes. A 2-session workshop is planned for October 29 and November 12, from 10 am to noon at Havurah. The workshop is based on The Conversation Project, a national campaign dedicated to helping people talk to their loved ones about their wishes for end-of-life care. While we know no single conversation will cover all the decisions that may need to be made, the workshop can help provide a shared understanding of what matters most to you and your loved ones. This can make it easier to make decisions when the time comes. If you want more information, The Conversation Project has a website ( that provides a wealth of information and may help you decide if this is something you want to pursue further. If you are interested in participating, please contact Teri in the Havurah office. 4 Having the Conversation: Workshops to Discuss What Quality Means at the End of Life Sunday, October 29 and Sunday, November 12 10:00-Noon At Havurah From the Education Director The Importance of Receiving Each Others Faces Continued from Page 1 friend all the gifts in the world, but their face is sullen, it is like they gave nothing. But one who greets his/her fellow with a friendly countenance, even if s/he gives no gifts, it is like s/he gives all the best gifts in the world" (Avot d Rebbi Nosson, Ch. 13; gender language adapted). The Sifsei Chaim explains that what people want more than anything is for others to show an interest in and care about them. A gift is an indication that the giver thought about the needs of another. (Moadim, 3rd Chelek, p. 275). Thus, on a fundamental level, when we make eye contact or greet somebody, we are noticing their existence, giving the gift of recognizing their humanity. We often don t even realize that we are giving or receiving this care until it doesn t happen when we come to a Havurah service and nobody says hello to us or acknowledges us, for example. Stay tuned for Part II, in which we hazard some guesses about why Kabbalat Panim is sometimes tricky in Havurah and what we can do about it! B nai Mitzvah Project Supplies for the Homeless For my B nai Mitzvah Project I am collecting items to give to those who are living on the streets. My mom and I created Ari's B nai Mitzvah Project Wish List on Amazon of items that we thought folks might need, such as water, nutrition bars, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sanitary pads, hand wipes, etc. We have already received a lot of donations. My mom and I have filled up our car with these items a couple of times and delivered to folks we encountered living on the streets. It has been a great experience and something I hope you can help me continue to do. You can donate something from the wish list and it will be mailed directly to my house. If you do that please make sure you send a gift note with your purchase so I can be sure to thank you! You are also welcome to bring items directly to Havurah on the day of my Bar Mitzvah on 10/28. Thanks for your support! Ari Mesulam Photo courtesy Julia Lager-Mesulam Deborah Eisenbach-Budner 9

Return to who you are. Return to what you are. So goes the song composed by Rabbi Shlomo Carlbach z l expressing the essence of the High Holy Day cycle, teshuva, translated as repentance or turning inward to G-d. As we prepare to enter Rosh HaShanah, the head of the year, we turn our attention to what lies before us both individually and collectively. With our hot summer fading away and school already under way for most, it s time to take stock of ourselves, make amends and pledge to do better in the coming year. Although we engage in this ritual every year, this time feels especially new. Members of Havurah Shalom have entered a new chapter in welcoming Rabbi Benjamin Barnett into our midst. We ve just begun to explore this new relationship and beginning for all of us. I m looking forward to the storming and norming process of discovering how we will proceed together as a community accompanied by a new-to-us spiritual leader. When we gather at the Tiffany Center for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, this year s aliyot will honor those movers and shakers from the past year. The Havurah co-presidents and vice presidents chose to honor groups of people who worked hard to make things happen at Havurah last year. You ll see committee chairs, endowment fundraisers, the L hitraot Joey celebration helpers and many others take to the bima to be honored with an aliyah. You can also look forward to seeing the newly minted b nai mitzvah come up for aliyot at the youth-led afternoon Torah service on Yom Kippur. We are living through difficult, challenging times. What gives me hope is that we are experiencing these trying events bolstered by each other. I think of Havurah Shalom as a comforting and welcoming haven from the stormy world surrounding us. Let us look to each other to find support and connection as we face a hostile environment at times marred by intolerance and bigotry. (I write this shortly after the tragedy in Charlottesville.) On Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, the Musaf service contains the emotional prayer Unatanetokef, where all the ways to die are listed in detail. But at the conclusion of the prayer, we are reminded of the alleviating effects of teshuva, tefillah and tzedakah (repentance, prayer and righteous action) to lessen the decree. In that spirit, let s celebrate our wonderful Havurah community as we return again, refreshed and rejuvenated to do the work that lies before us. L shanah tova! Susan Brenner Avodah Lead, Steering Two High Holidays Gatherings Our responses to the immigrant/refugee crisis Reminisce at the Cemetery Please join us and Rabbi Benjamin for our annual gathering at the Cemetery on the Sunday between the High Holidays. We'll meet on September 24th at 10:00 am to remember those no longer with us. It is always a wonderful and meaningful time to get together and reminisce. If you have any questions, please me at dave3082@aol.com Dave Weil Yom Kippur Afternoon Tikkun Olam Discussion September 20, 2 pm, 4th Floor Tiffany Center How can we use our history and our experiences to respond as a community to the needs of immigrants and refugees in our midst? We all are either descendants of a colonized society, or the descendants of immigrants and refugees in this country. Join us during the afternoon break on Yom Kippur to discuss how our family experiences might help us relate to what is happening to others around us right now. This will be an interactive and participatory discussion and integrate the work we are doing as a Sanctuary Congregation. 5

6 From the Rabbi Reminding One Another Havurah Sponsored Event Schedule of Services Continued from Page 1 remind each other of what we can be together. That is clearly a challenging mission. But friends, that is the moment in which we find ourselves. I am here at Havurah because this sacred work of remembering the world we aspire to realize is central to our mission. We are human, and so inevitably we forget. But we are here to remind one another. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel taught, Faith is not the clinging to a shrine but the endless, tameless pilgrimage of hearts. This moment feels like one of pilgrimage: this season in Jewish time, in which we return to the home of our lives with renewed commitment; and this moment in the life of our country and world, in which we are being asked to journey back to, and draw from, the wells of righteousness and compassion. The pilgrimage is indeed endless, but so are the forces of healing and transformation that are activated if we go with sincerity and devotion. May we strengthen one another on these journeys, and support each other s resilience in the face of all that might impede our return. It is an honor to be traveling this path with each of you. As we hear the shofar this season, may we be reawakened to who we are and to the world we aspire to create. And may our journey together for years to come serve as a vessel for light in this world. May we each be inscribed for a good year Le-shanah tovah tikateivu, Rabbi Benjamin High Holidays 5778/2017 Selichot Saturday, September 16 8:00 pm Selichot (at Havurah Shalom, with Rabbi Benjamin) Rosh Hashanah Photo by David Newman It Takes a Village: A Benefit Concert for Tanzania Come dance to the spicy-hot Date: Saturday, September rhythms of Portland s own Pa lante! 16th, 6-10 pm Latin Jazz Quintet, led by Nick Gefroh Tickets ($30) are on sale at: and Francisco Marmolejo!
