2 November 2017 / 5778 Thanksgiving is perhaps the perfect intersection of two great religious traditions in Judaism and Christianity. Unlike Christmas vs. Chanukah or Easter vs. Passover, where there are clear theological conflicts and a myriad of real-life complications, Thanksgiving is conflict-free. Thanksgiving contains the best of what it means to be an American gratitude for abundance, inclusivity in our society and around our table, open hands, open arms, open hearts. Thanksgiving is, in many ways, the summation of the heart of both Judaism and Christianity faith, gratitude, peace and brotherly love. Sukkot our harvest festival might be the basis for Thanksgiving. The Pilgrims saw themselves as the New Israelites escaping religious persecution in England, their "Egypt," and creating a new home for themselves in America, their "Israel." Sukkot marks the time when the Israelites wandered in the desert on their way to Canaan after escaping slavery. The Pilgrims could have very well seen their story reflected in the holiday of Sukkot. When they achieved a successful harvest, they perhaps looked at their Bibles (Deuteronomy 16:13-15) and learned that Sukkot is a harvest festival. There should be no surprise in the way Jews gravitated toward Thanksgiving. Congregation Shearith Israel, the Spanish Portuguese Synagogue in New York and the first synagogue established in America in 1654 wanted to connect the experience of being Jewish and American. So when President George Washington called for an official day of thanksgiving in 1789, according to the synagogue's web site, the clergy decided to apply Jewish liturgy to Thanksgiving. They selected various sections from Hallel, prayers from Psalms recited on certain Jewish holidays. There are so many prayers in our traditions that bring to light these themes of gratitude and abundance, welcome and compassion. The Psalms, attributed to King David, express a soul s longing for God, gratitude for living, uncertainty about the future and the quest for faith, compassion and goodness. Psalm 118 Its themes are thanksgiving to God and reliance on God rather than on human strength. Psalm 100 A psalm of thanksgiving: Shout for joy to Adonai, all the earth! Serve Adonai with joyful songs. A Modern Thanksgiving Prayer By Rabbi Naomi Levy For the laughter of the children, For my own life breath, For the ones who prepared this sumptuous feast, For the roof over our heads, The clothes on our backs, For our health, And our wealth of blessings, For this opportunity to celebrate with family and friends, For the freedom to pray these words, Without fear, In any language, In any faith, In this great country, Whose landscape is as vast and beautiful as her inhabitants. Thank You, God, for giving us all these. Amen. Let us celebrate Thanksgiving with a mindfulness as to how this holiday can join us, and how perhaps, not surprisingly the common denominator, regardless of one s beliefs, is bountiful food and family around the table, to mark our gratitude and deep sense of blessing for freedom, prosperity and community. Happy Thanksgiving. B shalom Cantor Riselle Bain

3 Dear Friends and Family; NOVEMBER 2017 / 5778 Julia Ruden The thief that broke into our synagogue was caught A 17 year old run away confessed to police. I am so thankful he only took a couple of items from the gift shop and some petty cash. No major damage done except to the kitchen door. Rolph Rosenberg installed a locking mailbox and the mail slot in the kitchen door is sealed shut. Thank you Howard Salles, Rolph and Narola Rosenberg, and Cathy Blumenthal for always taking care of the never ending maintenance of our building - OY VEY! Thank you Bernice Snoll and Sara Rosenbaum for making our Temple Directory every year, it will be out soon. At the end of this month we will all celebrate Thanksgiving. Just having family and friends to sit down to dinner with is a blessing. Thanksgiving transcends religious and political differences, and that is a blessing too. So, this month take a moment to stop and look around you; maybe with paper and pencil in hand. Make a list of your blessings; you may be surprised to discover just how blessed you are and how much you have to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. Thank you everyone for your continued support of OUR Temple!!! Be thankful for everything, everyone, everyday I am! Wishing everyone a Safe Happy Thanksgiving! Thankxoxox you ALL for ALL you Dooooooo!! Love Julie
