Sin and Forgiveness in the 21st Century: A Reform Perspective By Andrue Kahn and Rabbi April Peters Abstracted from Introduction to Mishkan HaNefesh: Machzor for the Days of Awe, An Adult Education Curriculum. Central Conference of American Rabbis (2015) Mishkan HaNefesh, the new Reform machzor, was compiled with great care to meet the needs of the contemporary Reform Jewish community, and reflects the many changes that have occurred over the past decades. Confession [The] long communal confession, each petition beginning al cheit shechatanu, for the sin we have sinned, presents challenges for a modern, liberal prayerbook. The first is in the issue of translation. [The] long communal Does the contemporary understanding of the word sin fit the confession, each petition liturgy? While the word cheit means sin, the note [in the Yom Kippur liturgy] beginning al cheit says: shechatanu, for the sin we The Hebrew word cheit, often translated as sin, is from a root have sinned, presents meaning to miss the mark, as in archery or stone-throwing. For example, we find a reference to soldiers in Judges 20:16 who could challenges for a modern, sling a stone at a hair and not miss (v lo yachati). Many liberal prayerbook. commentators have drawn important implications from the etymology of cheit: As with a stone thrower or archer, our intent is to aim true and to do the right thing; wrongdoing does not cause an ineradicable stain. With practice and attention, we can improve our aim and do better in the future. Forgiveness The confession of Al Cheit ends in S lichot, a prayer for forgiveness. At the heart of that prayer is the repetition of the thirteen attributes of God: Adonai, Adonai, God, compassionate, gracious, endlessly patient, loving, and true showing mercy to the thousandth generation; forgiving evil, defiance, and wrongdoing; granting pardon. We call on God s compassionate and forgiving nature to pardon us from the wrongs (or sins) we have committed. The editors [of the Machzor] have worked with the meaning of the word cheit to expand our concept of sin or missing the mark. [U]sing additional readings, they help us reexamine our notion of forgiveness and a God who pardons. What the Editors Say Rabbis Janet Marder and Sheldon Marder, editors of Mishkan HaNefesh write: In all our work on the Machzor, we remember the tremendous variety of people who will be in our congregations, and the misdeeds they will be remembering. Those engaged in vidui and t shuvah may include sexual compulsives who have betrayed their spouses thousands of times, wife beaters, serial rapists, soldiers who have engaged in torture, embezzlers, addicts, and child abusers but also 13 year olds who have been rude to their parents, teased another child on the playground, made snide remarks behind a teacher s back or cheated on a test, as well as adults who have inflated their resumes, been inattentive to an elderly aunt, received multiple speeding tickets, pilfered office supplies, neglected a friend with cancer, been ill-tempered with their spouse, failed to get to the gym often enough or paid less than their fair share of temple dues. These are certainly not admirable acts, but we hope you would agree that to describe the full range of human misdeeds by the word sin simply empties the word of its meaning. We hope, in fact, to restore some sense of power to the simple English word wrong. There is a difference between right and wrong, and the Machzor wants us to remember that. So do we.

What is this child to me who refused to stay and raise him? What is the broken covenant, this yoke? III Tashlikh By a small stream as is customary we cast into the water with its drift of leaves our quarrels like stones our envies and resentments O Lord You do not maintain anger but delight in forgiveness IV Aleinu You take me down to the nursery to see Joseph in his little cap of many colors with his jaundice and his brisk efficient keepers Will you be kind? Cleanse my mind of wickedness Teach me to attain a heart of wisdom In the synagogue the families praise all fruitbearing trees and cedars all wild beasts and cattle I watch a woman and her teenage daughter confer lean into each other They hold the mahzor between them their mouths shape the beautiful Hebrew I do not know how to read except in transliteration (continued) Pathways Vol. II, Quarter 3 July September 2017 Page 3

XI Selihot The days of women and men are as grass. They flourish as flowers in the field. The wind passes over them and is gone, and no one can recognize where they grew. XII Amidah Inscribe for me a childless life O lift me to the Book of Many Forms that I might find another way to honor my father and mother their agony of bereavement Let me understand the girl child I was beloved as Joseph in his coat of many colors, favored by his father hated by his brothers and by his brothers thrown into the pit Then to live among strangers in Egypt far from family Bind me to these friends and to this child that I may learn my true relation to the people of this story Sanctify difference and refusal bless the lesbians the child with two mothers Amen Pathways Vol. II, Quarter 3 July September 2017 Page 5

URJ President Rabbi Rick Jacobs on Israeli Government's Reversal On Egalitarian Prayer Space At The Kotel In Jerusalem URJ Press Release, June 25, 2017 Jerusalem June 25, 2017 Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) President Rabbi Rick Jacobs issued the following statement today about the Israeli government's reversal of their agreement to provide an egalitarian prayer space at the Western Wall in Jerusalem: Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to say 'no' to his previous 'yes' is an unconscionable insult to the majority of world Jewry. We are assessing all next steps. The Israeli Supreme Court will rule, but even in waiting for the court we will not be still or silent. The stranglehold that the Chief Rabbinate and the ultra-orthodox parties have on Israel and the enfranchisement of the majority of Jews in Israel and the world must and will be ended. Meet a Temple Member: Vicki Feldman Vicki Feldman arrived in Syracuse in 1969 to attend Syracuse University. She never intended to stay, yet here she is: an active member not only of Temple Concord but also of the wider Syracuse community. Her husband, Bob, and his family had a long-standing relationship with Temple Concord, and the Feldmans have been Temple members since 1998. The family includes daughter Jessica, who lives in Syracuse and is a Concord member, and son Adam, who lives in Kansas City, as well as six grandchildren. For Vicki, who grew up a Jewish kid, Temple membership has never been a question. Vicki notes that she needs to belong not only because of Temple s importance to family but also because of the community fostered by Concord. I believe both in the future of Concord and in its traditions in a commitment to sustaining our congregation, says Vicki. Vicki s own commitment is evident. She serves on the Temple Board of Trustees, almost single-handedly manages the annual Goldenberg Series of musical performances, and was a volunteer-choir member over a period of 10 or more years. Moreover, Vicki is the person responsible for having brought Itzhak Perlman to Syracuse in 2015 to benefit Concord, for orchestrating the annual Mensch-of-the-Year events, and right now for leading the committee gearing up for this November s Concord Cares gala at the Hotel Syracuse. Vicki, a freelance graphic designer, confesses that she gives away a lot of her time and talent pro bono. (And not just at Concord: Her past involvement with the Syracuse Symphony the forerunner to Symphoria included serving as president of the Syracuse Symphony Association.) Vicki has a life-long passion for singing, which has included singing not only in Concord s volunteer choir but also in school choirs and with The Syracuse Pops Chorus and no kidding! being part of the Goon Squad at SU and performing in its infamous Goon Show. Concord is the better for Vicki s time, talents, and most importantly commitment. Not everyone can handle the demanding tasks involved with event planning and fundraising, but Vicki has proven over and over that she can, with perseverance and grace.
