Scroll Vol 34 No. 2 There are stories that I tell and read again and again. They intrigue me, challenge me and inspire me and, I hope as I share them, do all of that and more to you. Every so often, one of the stories that I tell, either to get myself focused for spiritual work or to offer an illustration for connection and understanding to a community in prayer, actually plays out in the real world.
Walking in the mountains
When the Ba’al Shem Tov was young, he lived in the mountains of southern Russia. From time to time he would walk to the top of a mountain and lose himself in thought. Lost to the world, lost to himself, but found to G!d. Deep in this lostness and this foundness, he once began to walk where there was not ground to walk on. As he put his foot down, he was stepping into an abyss. But before he could hurtle downward, a nearby mountain moved, and closed the gap. The Ba’al Shem Tov, all unknowing, continued on firm ground: lost to the world, lost to himself, but found to G!d. (from Day by Day by Chaim Stern) On Simchat Torah, standing before our virtual community, with video being recorded, I found myself too close to this experience. I wasn't lost in the moment or deep spiritual connection, but certainly not fully present in the physical task or maybe too sure of my past performance. There I was, lifting the Torah scroll after reading the end of Deuteronomy, right after laying Moses to rest and preparing for a new year and new cycle with a fresh start at Bereshit - the very beginning - in Genesis. As the Torah went up, I lost my balance and lost control of the Tree of Life handles of the Scroll and started to topple over. I, the Torah Scroll and our congregation, who would have joined me in the sadness of fallen Torah and subsequent fasting of restoration and atonement, were headed for an abyss, just like the Baal Shem Tov. As the Torah fell, the very walls of the Sanctuary Building rose to the rescue, catching the Torah and me and holding us steady until the Cantor could arrive to get me on my feet and the Torah fully into our arms. I was mortified and upset. I spent that Shabbat mad at myself, "How could I let the Torah almost fall and hit the wall of the Sanctuary?" Then I remembered this story from the Ba'al Shem Tov. It is a vital part of Jewish life - from the splitting of the Reeds to the Burning Bush to the Ba'al Shem Tov - G!d's presence runs throughout all creation, certainly through the wall of our Sanctuary, saturated with generations of prayer. Of course, that wall was in the right place at the right time in that way to support me (and us) in my moment of need. I share this with you not just to acknowledge what happened on Simchat Torah, but because I feel like we are balanced very precariously as a country and a world in this month of November. At the beginning of November, we will have Election day and its aftermath. I can only pray that after the election all of the negative political and social energy and polarization that has ensued in these last months will dissipate and we will find a space of civility to solve the challenges of our times together once again. However, as Gates of Prayer (Gender sensitive edition page 75) declared… “prayer cannot bring water a parched field, nor mend a broken bridge nor rebuild a ruined city.” Just as the mountains rose up to catch the Ba’al Shem Tov, and the walls of our Sanctuary stood up to catch me and our Torah Scroll, can we envision, as individuals and as a congregation, standing up to lift our community and country out of this precarious place we are in? To approach this action mindfully we have to reflect: Where do we reach to offer healthy support? What fear, anger and darkness about the past do we have to set aside? Can we see that we are part of one shared American and human experience, strive beyond political affiliation or demographic group to create a more perfect Union? We can’t just reflect or post on social media or holler at the TV or internet. The mountains moved, the walls supported. As our country wobbles so precariously, pushed and pulled by a lot of negativity and angst, we must find ways, big and little, everyday and once in a lifetime, to bring forward positive life affirming, steadying energy through action.

We are now entering the month of November. As this month on the secular calendar contains the holiday of Thanksgiving, it is traditional to spend some time reflecting on the things for which we are thankful. This year, it may be harder to find reasons to be thankful. A deadly pandemic has ravaged our world and our country. At the time of writing, 1.12 million people have died worldwide, 221,000 of them in our own country. Many of us have not been able to see loved ones in person for several months. Many people have lost their jobs and livelihoods as a result of the pandemic. It is completely normal and natural to feel a sense of loss and despair. Yet, we as humans cannot live on despair alone. If we sit only in darkness, we have difficulty functioning. We need that tiny spark of hope to keep us going day after day. Judaism gives us that spark by asking us to focus on our blessings, even when we are not sure what to bless. The Talmud (Menachot 43b) states, “A person is obligated to recite one hundred blessings every day.” Traditionally, a Jew prays three times a day, but there are not enough blessings within those services to reach 100. To make up for this, the Rabbis suggest we find ways to bless some of the smaller things in life, like sweet-smelling spices or tasty fruit. Jewish teaching is broad regarding what and how we should bless. The Talmud (Berachot 35a) teaches, “A general principle may be derived: . . . Any item from which one derives benefit requires a blessing.” This means that we are obligated to bless almost everything. For example, we are required to recite Motzi before every meal and Birkat Hamazon after. There are different blessings for various fruits, vegetables, and other snacks. When we see a rainbow, we are obligated to recite a blessing thanking G-d for G-d’s covenant. There are various blessings that we are supposed to recite when we see someone smart or beautiful. When we see an interesting animal, we recite a blessing thanking G-d for making interesting creatures. We are even supposed to recite a blessing for our bodies every time we use the restroom. (For a few interesting blessings, check out this article on My Jewish Learning: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/8-jewish-prayers-youvenever-heard-of/) Our Rabbis take the idea of finding blessings in the small things even further, encouraging us to find blessings in things that maybe are not so obvious. The Talmud (Ta’anit 8b) states, “A blessing is found only in an object that is hidden from the eye, not in an item visible to all, as public miracles are exceedingly rare.” This passage reminds us that even areas of our life that might not seem so important, are worthy of blessing. So, as we approach Thanksgiving, I encourage you all to count your blessings. That delicious meal you just made in the kitchen? The entertaining movie you just watched on Netflix? That cuddle you just shared with your pet? All blessings. I also encourage you to try reciting more blessings. Try reciting Motzi before every meal. Or, since we live in Florida, try reciting the blessings for rainbows or thunder. Using our Jewish traditions, we can find a spark of hope in the darkness.

With Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and Simcha Torah behind us, the next holiday on our religious calendar is Hannukah, which begins the evening of December 10th. But there is another holiday on our non-secular calendar, Thanksgiving, that has strong connections with Judaism. Yes, Thanksgiving. In 1620 a small ship called the Mayflower left Plymouth, England carrying an assortment of religious separatists who had left the Church of England in search for a place they could freely practice their faith. In November 1621, after their first corn harvest proved successful, they organized a celebratory feast and invited a group of Native Americans to join them. This was the America’s first Thanksgiving; however, it was not until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held. Many people believe that the Pilgrims modeled Thanksgiving after the holiday of Sukkot, as they are both harvest festivals that take place in the fall. While we typically don’t think of Thanksgiving as a particularly Jewish day, it has the potential to be the most Jewish of all secular holidays. With its focus on gathering as a community, giving thanks and being mindful, Thanksgiving is infused with central Jewish values. Whether we are invited to a meal or eat out with others, whether at home or serving the needy at a community center, Thanksgiving encourages us to form connections, find commonality, and experience the simple joy of breaking bread together. We welcome one another to the table – just like on Passover, when we welcome a guest to the Seder. During normal times we have a food drive during the High Holy Days and contribute what we collect to the Food Pantry of Indian River County. However, this year we did not collect food. Today the need for food in our community is great. In order to continue our tradition, we will be collecting nonperishable food that will be contributed through the Interfaith Community Group of the Treasure Coast. If you want to contribute, bring your non perishable food items or monetary donations to the office between November 2nd and November 14th. OR bring your donations in person in a drive through. (see below, event for Thanksgiving)
Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours. Paul B. Kanarek President, Temple Beth Shalom
INTERFAITH FOOD DRIVE
Pre Thanksgiving drive through: November 15th at 4:00pm at First Baptist Church (which hosts the Food Pantry of Indian River County) 2206 16th Ave, Vero Beach, FL 32960. Bring non perishable food items or a monetary (payable to Food Pantry IRC) donation and drive through to wave at Rabbi Birnholz and Cantor Kheel and their friends/colleagues from the Interfaith Community Group of the Treasure Coast. We didn't have our food drive for the High Holy Days, so we carry this act into this season. This is also our way of bringing some Thanksgiving energy to the wider community and seeing the collective spirit of so many congregations from so many faith traditions!
Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed our PJ’s and Pearls this past month. Those of you who were not able to join us, missed a fun time. Our knitting class this month, for those of us who do not knit, will be on November 11, at 2:00 pm. December 8, at 6:30 pm, we will be making oven fried latkes to get a jump on Chanukah without splattering up the stove top. We would love your input as to what you would like to see, or learn or discuss in the coming months. Is it easier to join us during the day or in the evening? Waiting to hear from you. Until we can get together in person, be safe. I wish you Shalom. Cookie Compton, President 3
TBS Religious School is meeting regularly on Zoom and classes are going well. We certainly look forward to the day when we can be together again in our large group assemblies and when we can all enjoy our temple playground and campus. Hopefully, we will begin to transition Hebrew tutoring sessions and small group classes to the campus this month. Morah Arlene’s PreK and Kindergarten class is learning about Jewish holidays and biblical superheroes this year. Morah Arlene has great crafts ready for her little learners including making miniature torah scrolls in arks for Simchat Torah and bible character puppets. Oh, to be four (or five) years old again! Bring on the play dough and crayons! Do not worry if your hands or table is covered in glue—it’s fun to peel off! We love seeing our parents on Zoom helping their children with the crafts while running the technology to make this all happen. Thanks for all your efforts. Sunday school is certainly not the “drop off” morning it used to be!
This past month Morah Adina’s class followed the Jewish Holiday Treasure Trail, Morah Rochelle’s class learned about gratitude (hakarat hatov) and the Bnai Mitzvah class made yads to keep their minds and eyes focused. All our classes are doing a great job of managing online activities and posting art creations on our Religious School FaceBook page. Keep up the good work! November brings us a full calendar of classes and preparations for Hanukah which begins on December 10 th this year. Classes meet on November 1, 15, and 22. Wednesday Hebrew meets November 4, 11, 18. Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. May your blessings be numerous, and your hearts be full of gratitude. B’shalom, Mindy Lessem Pollack

Sukkah Builders: Charlie Fox, Alan Edelstein, Michael Wood, River/Rebekah/Gage/Marc Jaffe, Ellen and Jean Deschatres, Steve Berlin Volunteers: Marlis Humphrey, Berl Herzenberg As your Treasurer, and on behalf of the entire Temple Beth Shalom Board, I would like to thank the Congregation for your continuing support of the Temple. We are dealing with a traumatic event with no precedent in anyone’s lifetime. I know that this has created difficulties and uncertainties for many congregants. I participated in several URJ webinars on budgeting in this Covid-19 environment where dire circumstances were predicted. At the same time, I was elated to inform the Board that pledges for this year are practically equal to those of the prior year. Through the beginning of our fiscal year and the High Holy Days, you, our congregants, have stepped up to financially support our congregation. This generous giving matched the participation in our virtual events, classes, and services. Challenges remain before us. We may have to postpone or cancel future fundraising events. With your support and the partnership of our congregants, volunteer leaders, and staff, we can and will overcome this too. When all is said and done, I know that our congregation is committed to our Temple and that should lift all of us, heart and soul. Sheldon Cantor, Treasurer 6

Trees on the beach/ Plants in the desert
For many years we have participated in the Jewish National Funds project of planting trees in Israel in memory of those who have died or in honor of those who have impacted our lives. As we build relationships with other organizations, we are shifting the project from Jewish National Fund in two ways. We are offering an opportunity to support local tree planting efforts through the TreesforLife Project, or we can send resources to a community in Israel as we support the actions and educations programs of Kibbutz Lotan and their Center for Creative Ecology. These donations happen in the same way as you contact our office, and we send a certificate to the designee and to the giver. Not only will we support these two amazing efforts, but your participation also supports our Garden projects, Caring Community acts, and more. 8
Although we can’t meet in person – until who knows when – Temple Beth Shalom would like to resume our Oneg Sponsorships with virtual hosting, and make it feel as if we are once again “noshing” together. How do you do this? Sign up for a Shabbat date that has special meaning to you or for a Shabbat date that has no special meaning at all. Donate the money to TBS, that you would have spent on cheese, crackers, veggies, hummus, fruit, cookies, and cake. You will be recognized during services and be invited to bless the candles, say the kiddush, or both. As in the olden days, we encourage shared sponsorships. The more the merrier. We suggest a $36 minimum donation Thank you for supporting our temple in this virtual Yummy way! Please call Trudie at TBS (569-4700) to reserve your special day.
