ROSH HASHANAH
5752
No matter how often I see the words "Rosh Hashanah" these two words
convey to me a unique sense of inner excitement. The days just prior to
Roth Hashanah are filled with a sense of expectation that we are heading
toward a unique experience. I feel this every year as we approach the Days
of Awe, even as I feel a great responsibility to enable you to experience the
power and beauty of this Holy Day.
Hope springs eternal in a Rabbi's heart that this will be the year when we
may kindle and rekindle in our peoples' being the flame of Jewish idealism,
and a new commitment to our heritage to bring more light to our lives, our
homes, and our suffering world. What is our New Year for if not for
another chance to sense a new beginning as a person, as a family, as a
people? We need the vitality of a spiritual rebirth to face the future.
This past year unleashed events of great importance for the Jewish people;
the dramatic rescue of Ethiopian Jewry, the continuing exodus of Soviet
Jewry from danger to freedom and the forthcoming Peace Conference on
the Middle East. All of these will impact greatly on the future of our
people. To meet these challenges we need to know who we are and what
is the enduring source of our strength.
On Rosh Hashanah we understand and experience in a new light that our
caring, our reverence for life, our solidarity with our brothers and sisters,
our timeless faith, all come together in our being, moving us to a new
resolve to live significantly, to make a difference.
May this Rosh Hashanah usher in a year of spiritual rebirth for our people,
a year of peace for Israel and its neighbors, a year when the last tyrant is
vanquished and the liberated rejoice in the sweetness of freedom.
Judy joins me in wishing our beloved Rodef Shalom family Shanah Tovah.
Rabbi Laszlo Berkowits

FROM THE EDUCATOR'S CORNER- Religious School Reminders:
Teach Them To Swim..."
As we prepare for the opening of school I am
reminded of a section of Talmud which outlines
parents responsibilities to their children. One
specific responsibility is that we teach our children
to swim! Unbeknownst to most of us moderns, we
have taken this particular part of our heritage
seriously. Who would think of overlooking this
important skill? If we are unable to do it ourselves
we surely engage instructors to do the job and, of
course, we encourage our offspring to practice
learned water skills in pools, lakes and oceans.
Often we join in and swim with them.
So it is with Torah! It is our parental
responsibility to teach our children and, because we
want to do a thorough job, we turn to the Temple
to provide a Jewish education for our children. The
Temple creates classes for the student body which
numbers well over five hundred youngsters, hires a
fine staff, provides books and supplies and plans
special events such as field trips and retreats.
All the components are in place but, just as
with swimming, parents must provide many
opportunities to practice the Jewish life skills,
traditions and values taught in class.
Put another way, Shabbat prayers learned
but unused, holiday knowledge not transformed into
family traditions, and Jewish values which are taught
but not lived, are quickly put aside and forgotten.
We are wonderful at providing opportunities for our
youngsters to swim. Now, as we approach the new
school year and a new Jewish year, we at the
Temple enlist your support and urge you to swim in
the Jewish stream of life and provide many practice
opportunities for your young students.
Shana Tova,
Judy Seiff, RJE
Director of Education

Families with children in first grade and those
in grades two or three who have not been
consecrated will receive information about this
years ceremony (September 29 at 7:00 p.m.) in the
Religious School class information packet.
Consecration marks a child's formal introduction to
the study of Torah. It takes place at Simchat Torah
when Jews the world over celebrate the annual cycle
of the reading of Torah. Each participating child
receives a certificate and a small Torah to mark the
occasion. Reservations for participation are a must
so that appropriate preparations can be made. Call
the school office (532-2207) prior to September 20
to provide us with necessary information if you have
not already mailed in your form.

Due to the High Holy Days, our opening meeting of
the 1991-1992 season will be THURSDAY,
SEPTEMBER 26, 10:00 AM at the home of Ruth
Sachs, 8340 Greensboro Drive, Apt. 926, McLean.
Roz Aniss will lead the discussion of Because it is
My Heart by Joyce Carol Oates. It is an excellent
book and is available at the libraries under fiction.
This is a very important meeting and your
attendance is truly needed. Bring your suggestions
and information about the availability of books you
would like to have included in the coming year's
selections.
Our hostesses graciously offer their homes for our
"get togethers" so would you please call Ruth at
790-0455 if you plan to attend.
We wish you and all of our people a year of love,
peace, and good health.
Shalom

Co-Chairmen
It is with great sadness that we note the
recent death
of
Norma Helen Dektor.
She was a truly dedicated member
of
Sisterhood, our Temple librarian, and a
friend to all who knew her. She will
surely be missed.
Being so far away from my family
in Israel, you, as my Temple family with
your cards, calls, and contributions at
the time of my mother's death gave me
a great deal of support and comfort.
My heartfelt thanks for being what
you are, a real family.
Ziva Zysman
Summer is over and you're feeling the
blahs. Never fear - Sisterhood is here!
Once again we are gearing up for a great
year filled with food for thought, friends for
the soul, and fun for the spirit.
We are excited that our September
program features MIRIAM KLEIMAN, a
research analyst with AIPAC (American
Israel Public Affairs Committee). With
Jewish political power at a crossroads and
U.S. - Israeli relations in a state of daily
flux, this is a program too important to
miss. Miss Kleiman will be bringing us an
up to the minute briefing on the Middle
East peace talks, and the hostage
situation, the aftermath of Desert Storm
and answer any questions that you may
have. Our previous AIPAC program was
fantastic, so don't be left saying "I should
have attended." Join us September 11 at
10:00 a.m. in the Social Hall for a
fascinating program plus coffee, cake and
schmoozing with old and new friends.
Many other exciting events are
planned for the coming year so keep an
eye out for your membership packet.

designed for families with young children.
It will take place on the third Friday of each
month. During the winter months Tot
Shabbat will be held on Saturday morning.
This special Shabbat service will feature
songs and prayers with the pre-schooler in

opportunity for parents and their youngsters
to worship together. We hope the children
will develop an early desire to attend
Shabbat Services. The Oneg will feature
refreshments the children will especially
enjoy. The monthly family service, which is
held on the first Friday night of each month,
will continue.
We hope you will join us on Friday,
