1 The Voice of Peace September 2017 ellul-tishrei 5777//78 From the Rabbi s Desk WHY IS THIS NEW YEAR DIFFERENT? When we assemble in the Sanctuary on Wednesday evening, September 20th, naturally we shall do so synchronously with 13 million of our fellow Jews in Israel, North America and around the Diaspora. But, what is true horizontally for the Hebrew new year is also true vertically in our own congregation of Rodef Sholom. According to the best of the available record-keeping, the Reform Jews of Waco have gathered to hear the shofar and begin turning in repentance since the temple s founding in In the chronology of the American Jewish community, that date places the start of our congregation at a point before the migration of East European Jews to the United States. It would also precede by at least four years the initial ordination class of the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati (my alma mater). So, that, during the 138 years that Temple Rodef Sholom has operated a living Jewish congregation in McLennan County, countless and momentous changes have taken place in the life of American Jewry. Since the close of the 19th century, millions of Jewish souls migrated through ports such as New York and Galveston to establish families and businesses in the cities and towns of the Lone Star State. In the following generations, the descendants of immigrants entered the state s universities, the US armed services and various walks-of-life, ranging from agriculture to the space program, from journalism to politics to the professions and government service. And the persistence of Jewry into the fourth and fifth generations speaks well for the determination and loyalty of the Jews who chose to make Texas their home. From Ambassador Robert Strauss to entertainer Kinky Friedman, Jewish Texans have earned the esteem of their neighbors. The new Jewish year 5778 will nonetheless usher in a new era of uncertainty for our people wherever Jewish communities thrive. In the Jewish State we can shep nachess (derive consolation) from Israel s material and technological achievements, which are both impressive and legion. Yet, in the past year---and especially during the past few weeks---the ability of Israeli society to furnish religious freedom to liberal Jews has been called into question because of the reluctance of the government to honor its agreement to provide an egalitarian space at the kotel ma aravi (the Western Wall). In central and Eastern Europe, the re-emergence of new Jewish communities which had lain dormant since the war, constitutes an exciting development which betokens a time of Jewish renewal in the birthplace of Ashkenazic Judaism. Nonetheless, the political instability which has infected countries such as France, Hungary and Poland in recent years does not augur well for a bright Jewish future on the European continent. Finally, in the most important corner of the Diaspora, here in the United States, many Jewish communities are entering a sunset phase, while major Jewish organizations (including the URJ) have registered shrinkage in numbers and activity since the beginning of the 21st century. Specifically, I note that many of my rabbinical colleagues in the Reform movement lament the decline in day school enrollment and diminishing cultivation of the Hebrew language, a skill which connects Jews outside of Israel to the Jewish state and to the sacred texts of Jewry. (continued next page)
2 (continued from front page) The festival which most Jews recognize as the new year on the Hebrew calendar is, in fact, only one of four days called by the Rabbis, Rosh HaShanah. What we observe in the fall is the solar new year. In the Talmud, the Sages also indicate new years for fruit trees and the tithing of cattle. In the spring, two weeks prior to Passover, the Mishnah calls for a lunar new year on the first of nissan to mark the beginning of the pilgrimage festivals, months and the reigns of Israel s kings. So, in the language of the Passover Haggadah, we could borrow from the Four Questions and ask, Why is this new year different than all other Jewish new years? Perhaps because, at all previous new years on the Hebrew calendar, the Jewish people faced a different set of challenges than those we shall confront in May this season of preparation make us ready to construct a more vibrant Jewish future for Israel and humanity. Or, as the High Holy Day prayer book expresses the annual sentiment, The old year and its sorrows has ended. May the new year and its blessings commence. l shanah tovah ni kateiv ve nei chateim, May we all be written up for a year of goodness, life, health, prosperity and peace. Rabbi Jeffrey N. Ronald Food for Families Drive benefiting Caritas is in need of several items for their food pantry and as our High Holy Days Mitzvah, I am asking that you please help us with this worthwhile project!

Names of members will be read if they passed away during the previous year. Loved ones names will be read if they have a plaque on our lighted memorial board. Additional names may be read for a donation of $5.00 per name. Please contact Mike in the Temple office either by phone, or in writing to arrange for additional names to be added to the Yizkor list. The deadline for submitting names is Monday, September 25 th.
