Progressive in attitude yet traditional in practice, Temple Ohabei Shalom is an inclusive Reform Jewish
community committed to nurturing, sustaining, and touching Jewish lives through joyful worship, life
long-learning, and repair of the world in word and deed.
Worship
Cantor Randall Schloss
One of the most beautiful aspects of
Judaism for me is its wealth of tradition.
Despite the oft-heard request to sing the
“traditional” tune for a given piece of
liturgy, there is no such thing. Due to the
worldwide, thousands-of-years-old Jewish
experience, our ritual traditions are rich and
varied. And in no synagogue is this diversity more evident than
here at Temple Ohabei Shalom. Our newly adopted mission
statement reads: Progressive in attitude yet traditional in
practice, Temple Ohabei Shalom is an inclusive Reform Jewish
community committed to nurturing, sustaining, and touching
Jewish lives through joyful worship, life long learning, and repair
of the world in word and deed. How better to express the
apparent paradox of “progressive” and “traditional” than
through contemporary experiences that draw on myriad
traditions.
And our liturgy and rituals are themselves drawn from
combinations of experiences. The Jewish year moves from
liturgical remnants of Temple sacrifice, to festivals recognizing
the natural world in which we live and its agricultural bounty, to
services of repentance and reflection. None of these modes of
worship is more particularly “traditional” or authentic than
another. Similarly, when I present music for worship, I try to
incorporate many versions of what might be termed
“traditional” as well as “progressive” elements. I mix the
meditative with the celebratory and the inspirational, the new
with the old, and the East with the West. Musical selections
during a worship service can be a little bit like what people say
about the weather here in Boston: Wait five minutes… it will
change.
I encourage all of you, in this New Year 5770, to try to
broaden your Jewish experience. If you are one who comes to
services as an observer or a more passive participant, try
singing along and join in the creation of our community
experience. If you are one who loves to sing along, try simply
listening every now and then; our ears and brains can be as
powerful as our voices. If you are primarily involved in our
community through committees or volunteerism, try adding
worship services or educational opportunities to your
Synagogue experience. Or if you are mostly a regular service
attendee, join a committee or volunteer. Your synagogue needs
you in many ways.
In this New Year, may we all enjoy and be fulfilled by the
tapestry of experiences that our traditions and our synagogue
can offer.

2010 slate of officers. Please add to your calendar on Thursday,
October 15th at 6:30 pm, when John Shalett, newly elected North
American President of Men of Reform Judaism (MRJ), will preside
over the installation activities. He will bring greetings from the MRJ
National Board and discuss the significance and impact of the Jewish
Chautauqua Society and its educational programs. This program is
open to the entire community however reservations are required to
attend the dinner reception which will immediately follow the
Installation Ceremony. Please RSVP by Thursday, October 8, 2009,
by either calling Jerry at 617-731-5736, or by emailing
brotherhood@ohabei.org.
Our November event will take place on Tuesday, November 17,
2009, at 6:30 PM. This is a Annual Sisterhood Pot Luck Supper
and Movie Night with Brotherhood. The Sisterhood will bring main
courses. The Brotherhood will bring dessert and popcorn. The
movie is titled Arranged, and concerns arranged marriages. This
movie should prove to be an enjoyable event with the Sisterhood and
will also prove to be informative. Please RSVP by either calling Jerry
at 617-731-5736 or by emailing brotherhood@ohabei.org.
The following is an open letter to all the Men of the Congregation,
our current and past brothers and the Jewish men of the Greater
Boston Community from Howard Koor, VP of Membership:
I am writing you to consider getting involved with our Brotherhood,
which is the Men’s Club at Temple Ohabei Shalom.
We have monthly meetings, usually with a guest speaker, dinner is
served and there is time to schmooze. I have been in the
Brotherhood about 10 years and it has enriched my life and
connection to our Temple immensely. I know people that I did not
know before and just as importantly, they know me.
I enjoy our meetings. I get to see old friends and meet new ones. I
don't have to impress anyone with my job title or business success.
I just get to relate to people that I truly enjoy spending time with.
In addition to an increased connection to our Temple, being in the
Brotherhood helps serve the greater good of Ohabei Shalom. Our
annual Breakfast with the Brothers is a big hit and raises funds we
contribute back to the Temple.
I know many of you are involved with various Ohabei Shalom
activities now, but I encourage you to give us a chance this year
and see if your participation enhances your life as it has mine.
Please feel free to call Howard at 617-257-3868 for more
information.
As always, the Brotherhood wishes to thank everyone who has
remembered to bring in or mail in there stamped Butcherie receipts.
Please continue to support this vital program.

Sisterhood News
Zita Samuels
It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of our beloved
sister and past president Betsy Gould. Her achievements and
dedication went far beyond Sisterhood to the entire synagogue
community of Ohabei Shalom. As a Sisterhood president Betsy led
us for four years with wisdom and dedication, spending countless
hours organizing events and programming, always thinking of the
greater good of the Sisterhood and the temple. After her presidency
she continued to sit on the Sisterhood Board as an active participant,
helped with our events, and wrote the monthly article for Tidings.
She also served on the TOS Board of Trustees.
For the past twelve years Betsy chaired the Mitzvah Committee. In
that role she organized mitzvah visits to temple shut-ins – bringing
them gifts and cheer. She sent Chanukah and Pesach packages to
college students away from home to enable them to celebrate these
important Jewish holidays. In addition she spearheaded the annual
toy drive that brought gifts and vitamins to children who are patients
at the Boston Medical Center Grow Clinic.
We plan to dedicate our Sisterhood Concert to Betsy. It will take
place on Sunday, October 25 at 3 PM. We will be entertained by
our own mistress of song, Estelle Katz, who will present an exciting
program that will include American standards as well as Hebrew and
Yiddish favorites. Please come; help us raise funds for synagogue
activities and Sisterhood programs; and especially to hear Estelle and
honor Betsy. Tickets in advance are $15 ($5 for children under 12);
they will be $18 at the door. Please make checks for concert tickets
payable to Sisterhood, mark concert in the memo and mail to
TOS. Indicate how many tickets you are ordering for adults and
children. Advance tickets will be held at the door.
We have established the Betsy Gould Mitzvah Fund through the
Sisterhood to honor Betsy and to fund the continuation of her work
on Mitzvah Projects (twice yearly mitzvah visits to shut-ins; Pesach
and Chanukah packages to college students; and the Toy Drive for
the Grow Clinic). Please mail any donations c/o Sisterhood, TOS,
1187 Beacon St. Brookline, MA 02446. Make checks payable to
Sisterhood and mark Betsy Gould Mitzvah Fund in the memo.
For your advance calendar, there will be a Sisterhood-Brotherhood
Pot Luck Supper and Movie Night on Tuesday, November 17, 6:30
PM. We plan to show the movie Arranged, an engaging film about
two young teachers in Brooklyn, an Orthodox Jew and a Muslim, who
discover they have a shared expectation of entering into arranged
marriages.
Finally, please remember to send in your Sisterhood dues payment if
you have not yet done so. If you did not receive the mailing, please
let me know and I will send you another (617-277-3653 or
zitasam@aol.com). Many thanks for your support of Sisterhood.
