TISHA B’AV Tisha B’Av, the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av, is a day that commemorates a number of different calamities in Jewish history. Among these sad events is the destruction of both Temples in Jerusalem, the first by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E., the second by the Romans in 70 C.E. According to tradition, both events took place on the Ninth of Av. In addition, the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain occurred on this date.

The day is observed as a fast. Also, the Book of Lamentations (Eicha) is chanted in a mournful tune. This book, one of the Megillot, is a description of the tragic events surrounding the ruin of the First Temple. Tradition ascribes its authorship to the prophet Jeremiah. Tisha B’Av is the only day when Tefillin are not worn at the morning service. This is connected with the fact that in the morning the sadness of the day is too much with us to wear the Tallit and Tefillin, symbols of joy. All in all, Tisha B’Av is a sad day of national mourning by Jewish people; we must actively recollect the past to insure the future.

In addition to the reading of Lamentations on Monday evening, August 4, the service will be enhanced with dramatic and poetic readings, describing different periods of persecution from ancient times until today. Tuesday morning’s service will also include a selection from the Book of Eicha.

Thank You Dear Friends, I could never have imagined the outpouring of love I actually experienced during my retirement weekend. It was a gratifying and overwhelming event knowing that so many people worked so hard to make this very special weekend the success that it was. Thank you to all for your participation on my retirement weekend. No matter how big or small the gesture, I was touched and greatly appreciate your kindness.

HIGH HOLIDAY HONORS

As our synagogue has grown much larger, it has become more challenging and important to be inclusive and personal. We realize that some families have been members for many years and have never had a High Holiday honor. In this spirit, we would like to invite any adult member of Congregation Beth Shalom who has never received a High Holiday honor to let us know if you would like one. Don’t worry if you can’t read Hebrew, it will be a non-speaking honor.

We realize that the size of the response will determine when your turn will come.

We shall continue with those who have been members the longest. Please remember that honors will also continue to be given to those who serve the congregation in various capacities.

Therefore, we ask your patience. In time your opportunity to come to the Bima will come. We look forward to the day when we can say that all who wish to be honored have been honored.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Please fill out the attached form and return it to the synagogue, or e-mail it back to the attention of the High Holiday Committee.

Sincerely, Carl Wolkin, Senior Rabbi

Glen Roter, President

BECOME A DOCENT AT THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM

NEWS FROM THE KETER MINYAN

By Harold Schwartz

The Tallit is one of the most authentic Jewish garments and its use one of the most iconic of all Mitzvot. The history of the use of the Tallit comes from the Book of Numbers when God told Moses to speak to the people and tell them to wear “fringes” on the four corners of their clothes. These “fringes”, known as “Tzizit”, are tied in a very specific and highly symbolic fashion.

Beginning with the knot closest to the material edge of the Tallit, the tzitzit are tied as follows: 2 knots,7 coils, 2knots, 8 coils, 2 knots, 11 coils, 2knots, 13 coils and finally 2 knots. The symbolism for these numbers is central to the entire symbolism of the Tallit. Seven plus eight equals fifteen which in “gematria”, numerology, is equal to the value of yud and heh, the first two letters of God’s name. Eleven is equivalent to vav and heh, the last two letters of God’s name (yud heh vav heh).Thirteen is equivalent to Echad (aleph ched dalet) which means One; thus when one looks at the tzizit they remember that God is One. The word “tzizit” in gemartia is equivalent to the number 600. If one adds the eight strands and five knots (the four strands on each corner is doubled prior to tying) that equals 13 so together we have the number 613, the exact number of Mitzvot in the Torah. What a fantastic symbol to be wearing during prayer! To gaze at the fringes and remember that God is One and we must recall all of his Mitzvot.

We now know the origins of the Mitzvah of the Tzizit and how symbolic it is in our everyday Jewish tradition. As history shows, the tzizit were placed on garments other than the Tallit.

Avoiding the obvious Jewish symbol in areas of the world hostile to Jews, the tzizit were placed on inner garments rather than the outer garment, the Tallit. The inner garment called the Arbah Kanfot, or Four Corners was rectangular in shape, approximately three by five feet with a hole in the center for the head to go through. Observant Jews, to this day, use this garment beneath their clothing to always be surrounded by a reminder to observe the 613 Mizvot.

Many customs have arisen over the centuries as to who is required to wear a Tallit, when it is required to be worn and even the size of the Tallit is subject to much interpretation.

Traditional customs provide that a “small Tallit” can be worn by boys from the time of Bar Mitzvah until marriage. At that time, one wears the “large Tallit” in hopes of accommodating future offspring (male, of course) under the father’s Tallit.

Conservative Jewry makes no distinction regarding size and both men and women are welcome to wear a Tallit. A Tallit is not worn by congregants during the afternoon service (except for Yom Kippur and Tisha Ba’Av) and at the evening service.

Only those leading the service, reading from or called to the Torah need put on the Tallit during afternoon and evening services. Hopefully, this brief discussion of the Tallit and Tzizit has clarified this central symbol in Judaism.

Joel Greenman has been a docent at the Holocaust Museum and recommends becoming a docent: One of the most rewarding things that I have gotten involved in since I retired from the active practice of Medicine has been the Illinois Holocaust Museum. Since Illinois was the first state to mandate the teaching of Holocaust studies in middle school, we get thousands of children coming through the museum everyday as part of their curriculum. As a Docent, I get to experience the “I didn’t know that” moment of so many of these kids most of whom are not Jewish and have just started to learn about this most important historical event. The Museum is starting a new training session for Docents starting in October of 2014. You can join the many other Beth Shalom volunteers who give of their time to this most important institution. You can find more information at holocaustmuseum.org or contact me at jbgreenman@comcast.net

Looking for High Holiday service leaders and song leaders from the CBS community If you are interested in helping out the community by leading an age-appropriate High Holiday program for children during the peak hour of High Holiday services, we need your help.

We are seeking adults (age 18 or older) who have some experience working with children of any age, and who can conduct services and activities. Must be enthusiastic and en njj o y w o r k i n g w i t h c h i l d r e n .

Desirable but not necessary would be skills playing the guitar and leading simple holiday songs.

Thanks to so many members at CBS, we have accomplished so much this year.

We have fed many people in and around our community by way of our High Holiday Food Drive, Holiday Candy Drive, You Can Make A Difference – Canned Food Drive and Northfield Food Pantry Holiday Food Bags.

The Israel Committee, led by Len and Sue Rubin, continues to grow and provide programming and opportunities for all of us to learn more about Israel.

CBS members gave holiday happiness by donating new toys to the Holiday Gift Drive. The toys were collected and delivered to JCFS and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago by Jill Olefsky.

I would like to thank Rabbi Wolkin, Rabbi Melman, Cantor Stoehr and Harvey Gold for all of their support and commitment to making social action at CBS a top priority. I would also like to thank David Barany and Matt Rissien for their continued commitment to social action by way of all the projects they do with our school-age CBS members.

Have a great summer!

Death of Esteemed Members: George Ekstein Dr. Stephen Brookstein Edith Rose

In Loving Memory

If you wish to honor the memory of a dear one, a most fitting, traditional and dignified remembrance is through a Memorial Plaque.

Each memorial plaque, bearing the name and yahrzeit date, is mounted on the tablet in the Moseson Memorial Alcove. It is lit on the Shabbat of the week of the yahrzeit, on the day of the yahrzeit and on the four festivals during the year when Yizkor is recited.

Call Maria (847-498-4100) for information or to order a plaque.

The following families have dedicated memorial plaques in the Moseson Memorial Alcove in memory of their loved ones.

In memory of ROLAND S. MEDANSKY

YIZKOR MEMORIAL BOOK

Every year prior to the High Holidays we request the names of departed family/friends be submitted for inclusion in the Yizkor Memorial Book. It is customary to make a nominal contribution when submitting names for the Yizkor Book. The money donated goes directly into the Gold Family Sabbath Fund which primarily supports the ARK. For those of you not familiar with the ARK, it provides free social and medical services to help distressed members of the Chicagoland Jewish community stabilize life situations and help them attain self-sufficiency with dignity and respect. The Gold Family Sabbath Fund also provides support to many of CBS’ Social Action programs such as supporting Troops overseas, Buffalo Grove PADS and grocery delivery to ARK families. Please give generously.
