Charlottesville: Our Response
Dear Temple Emanu-El, like staring at the Solar Eclipse, this week we are still dealing with the psychological effects of Charlottesville, and the trouble that is to follow. This week’s Kesher Quick writing is the sermon that I gave this past Friday night in synagogue. May this Shabbat be one of peace for us, and for all America. Shabbat shalom Anderson/Re’eh/8-18-17/ Av 26, 5777/ Temple Emanu-El of Atlanta Tough week this week… Shortly after services last Fri night, 1,000 Neo-Nazi White Supremacists marched past the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. They were armed, (for VA is an open carry state), they were prepared for violence with clubs and shields. And they carried torches. Officially, they were there to protest against the removal of a statue of Robert E Lee, but their real goal was to show that they were not just an internet movement, but also rather a physical force that was ready to show strength and garner support. The torches, of course, were meant … [Read more...]
World Zionist Congress Elections are Coming!
The World Zionist Congress Elections are coming soon, and our congregation’s votes are critical to maintaining a large Reform presence! The election (which happens every five years) is our chance to have the Reform Movement’s voice and priorities heard in Israel. This is our chance to combat the discrimination the Reform Movement faces in Israel. Together we can grow our Reform Movement and work towards making progress on the issues we care about: religious freedom, equality, and many more. This process is critically important to the allocation of funds toward progressive causes in Israel. Did you know that the Israeli government pays the salaries of hundreds of rabbis, but only 9 are Reform? Or, that while only 20% of the Israeli population is comprised of Orthodox Jews, 100% of Jewish marriages in Israel are controlled by the Orthodox Chief Rabbinate? A vote for ARZA is a vote to make changes to these types of discrimination. We often sit from the comfort of our American homes and … [Read more...]

Consecration
Consecration generally takes place at the beginning of kindergarten, or whenever a child begins his or her Jewish education. This is a lovely and meaningful ceremony for children and families alike. A large talit (prayer shawl) may be held over the students while they sing a song or recite the Sh'ma (the declaration of Jewish faith). The children are blessed by the clergy and are often given a certificate and a miniature Torah. How wonderful to being a child's Jewish education with a celebration. You shall love the Eternal your God with all your mind, with all your strength, with all your being. Set these words, which I command you this day, upon your heart. Teach them faithfully to your children; speak of them in your home and on your way, when you lie down and when you rise up. (Deuteronomy 6:5-9) These words, which form the beginning of the Ve'ahavta prayer, teach us that love of God and learning are closely related. The education of a Jewish child is a joint venture, shared … [Read more...]
