Physically Separate. Farewell Rabbi Ross
MAY 1 - JUNE 30, 20207 IYAR - 8 TAMMUZ 5780Physically Separate.Always Together.If someone asked us to plan a virtual synagogue, wewould form a committee, spend months studying thequestion, wring our hands worrying if people would showup, and test various digital platforms to find the right one.Instead, we were thrown headlong into the new world ofvirtual synagogue life and had days – not months – tomove from our physical space into the online world. Andit has been great!Thank you for joining us online for services, programs,our seder, education, and coffee schmoozes. Emanu-Elis online and stronger than ever!As circumstances evolve, we will continue to announceupcoming programs in our Monday email This Week withEmanu-El and our Wednesday Emanumails.Passover Service: We Came TogetherAs A CommunityThe first night of Passover this year was certainly a nightdifferent from all others! As a community, we cametogether in a whole new way. We blessed and celebratedthe bitter and the sweet together with an online Haggadah,songs, questions and so many familiar faces.Farewell Rabbi RossJade Ross - a teacher, a mentor, apastor, a leader, a manager, anorganizer, a lifelong learner, aworship leader, a friend - a rabbi. Atthe end of June, we will saygoodbye to this extraordinary womanwho began with us as a student rabbifour years ago and leaves us as an accomplished rabbiand educator. Rabbi Ross has, time and again, helpedkeep us true to our vision, ensuring that the decisionswe make are in line with our highest and best valuesand consistent with the Jewish tradition that we holddear. In our school she has put in place curricula,processes, and programs that lay a strong foundationfor Naomi Fabes as she takes the helm on July 1st.And, Rabbi Ross has been there for us in times ofsadness and in times of joy, in moments of intellectualgrowth and moments of quiet meditation. She hasbrought so many blessings to us and we can only wishher joy and success, fulfillment and blessing in all herfuture endeavors.

RABBI GOLDSMITH’S MESSAGEYou Inspire MeYou inspire me. Since the first daysof this pandemic our congregationhas inspired me with its curiosity,its spirituality, its willingness toexperiment and to fail, and to tryagain and to succeed. You inspireme because you are there for oneanother through the challenges,pain, and grief and through the small joys, littletriumphs, and new discoveries that have marked theseweeks. Through our computers and through thephone, through letters mailed and contributions youhave made, our congregation has stood together anddemonstrated a depth of community, of Jewish spirit,of care and concern – a depth of faith. And, in turn,you have given me faith, faith that CongregationEmanu-El of Westchester – the people and thecommunity and the institution – will not only survivethis pandemic, but will be a source of strength thatenables us to each make meaning from this challengethat we face.You inspire me every Friday night when nearly onehundred congregants and friends join together forShabbat on Zoom and Facebook and our webpage.You have been patient with us as we learn to use thetechnology, adjust our background images, work withour microphones, figure out when to show prayersand when to show faces. You listen to our guestmusicians and speakers. You accept the honor oflighting the candles or saying kiddush or receiving ablessing or reading a prayer. And through it all, thebest part is when we first log on and right before wesign off. When we call across the ones and zeros ofcyberspace with “hello” and “how are you” and“what’s the painting in the background” and “did youget a haircut” and “I miss being with you” and “I loveseeing you”. Each is really a call of “I love you”.You inspire me with the deep learning that we havedone together. Explorations of Torah and AmericanJewish history and Israel and theology in the time ofcoronavirus. Beit Midrash and Single Malt Torah andour Women’s Study Group and Confirmation Classhave not only met, they have grown. And, with theregular distractions of life somewhat muted, we reallydig into the meaning of it all. How the vagaries ofJewish history or law or custom relate to our verymodern lives, our “coronalives”, our American lives.The stunning relevance of our ancient ideas in fulldisplay on our screens and coming to life in our4homes and on our walks and when we speak withfriends or family.You inspire me in your joy and your grief and yourmarking of life and time. B’nei mitzvah and babynamings celebrated together from Westchester andFlorida and California and Illinois and Boston. Belovedfamily and friends surprised by the immediacy of ourdigital tools to gather and convene and convey traditionfrom one generation to the next – computers turnedinto sacred vessels. And we use those vessels, too, toconsole and to grieve. Not “virtual funeral,” not “zoommemorial service,” not “online shiva” but "funeral" and"memorial service" and "shiva" – real ritual and realfeeling and real consolation that turn tech into Torahthat eases, soothes, relieves the pain of loss to bringconsolation and love.You inspire me with your dedication tomaking it all work.You inspire me when your children and their teachersgather around iPads and Chromebooks and Androidsfor praying and learning with dedicated clergy andteachers. Their earnest answers to our questions, thelaughter of distracted siblings, the shenanigans in thechat box – all of it flooding the screen with the life andjoy and energy of children. These children gaze at theirscreen and see that Judaism can master any medium,that our wisdom can be passed by word of mouth orparchment scroll or hand sown manuscript or printedpage or internet glowing with joyous song and funnyvideos and words of Torah made sweet by smiles ofchildren.You inspire me with your dedication to making it allwork. Volunteers who in the midst of telecommutingand homeschooling get on calls with temple staff andone another to plan the next program, work on ourbudget, figure out fundraising, work on security, thinkabout membership recruitment, manage our building –all of the hundreds of tasks that you do to make ourcongregation tick. And those volunteers who call to askhow they can help the community – where to donate,where to give food, where to give time. You have notstopped caring passionately about our world andrepairing our world through the temple and throughdozens of community organizations – through thoseefforts you are, indeed, changing the world.(continued on pg. 7)
CANTOR STONE’S MESSAGEGod Bless My BissellI love my Bissell! My husbandsays that I have Vacuumania, andI suppose he is right: there itstands at the ready, my cordlesswonder, for a quick living-roomtidy-up or a thorough apartmentonce-over, depending on mymood and tolerance for dust. I’msensitive to a host of allergens, so regular vacuumingserves an important purpose. But the truth is that I lovethe immediate gratification of vacuuming: it makes mefeel in control. If I’m helpless against the unpredictabletumult of the world, at least I can maintain a little orderand beauty in the sanctuary of home.These days, our world feels out of control in so manyways. At the time of this writing, in April, we are stillsheltered at home, deeply into the quarantine broughton by the coronavirus pandemic. We have no ideawhen our “normal” lives will resume. Humbled, weface the fact that we are not as in control of our lives aswe once thought we were.Still, our strange circumstances havebrought us together in so many ways.Nevertheless, we have been learning how to navigateour extraordinary circumstances: how to workremotely, how to use technology to connect, how todeal with terrible and sudden loss. Each of us has facedindividual hardship, and still we will move forward,forever changed and bound together in community.We don’t know what comes next, though some havespeculated. A few years ago, Rabbi Goldsmith and Iattended a series of seminars envisioning the futureof Judaism. Could we imagine a congregation withouta building? What seemed incomprehensible then hasbecome our new reality. It is indeed possible to havea vibrant congregation without a building, but clearlynothing can substitute for sitting together in ourown sanctuary.Still, our strange circumstances have brought ustogether in so many ways. Our Zoom Shabbat servicesare heavily attended. Each week, we interact with ourstudents in virtual Hebrew-school services and withcongregants in informal online coffee and cocktailZooms. Our virtual beit midrash sessions continue toenrich the experience of a lively group of adult learners,and our online Passover seder and Women’s StudyGroup Passover event allowed us to celebrate theholiday together. We have even had the first of ourvirtual b’nei mitzvah ceremonies.We do not know what the future will bring. But we doknow that our temple remains strong because of thepeople that make it up. Our congregation will beresilient, flexible, and vital! Let us continue to beanchored and heartened by our connection to oneanother. From the shelter of our homes, we controlwhat we can, and surrender to the rest.Meredith Stone, CantorWe do not know how these changes will affect our livesafter the pandemic or how our congregation mightevolve as a result. But we do know that Jews have beenadaptable throughout history. The ancient Temple inJerusalem was destroyed in 586 BCE, then rebuilt anddestroyed again in 70 CE. That could have been theend of us, but we persisted in new ways.We continued to evolve in the modern era. In the 1950sand 60s, American Judaism was all about our buildings:Build it and they shall come! In later decades, the focusbecame programs, speakers, specially themed services,and a host of activities. In recent years, the Reformmovement has shifted toward “relational Judaism,”asking how services and programs can leavecongregants feeling more connected to one another andto our community.5
RABBI ROSS’S MESSAGEKedoshim t’hiyu - You Shall Be HolyFollowing the miraculous exodusfrom Egypt, the next book in theTorah, Leviticus, can be a toughread. Leviticus contains more than athird of the 613 commandments,many of them related to priestlyprocedures and ancient animalsacrifices. With so manycommandments and laws and so little narrative, it ishard to find meaning and personal connection in theseTorah chapters. This year however, more than in anyother year, we can see ourselves in our biblicalancestor’s shoes. We, like our ancestors, are wanderingin an unknown wilderness. Like the Israelites of theTorah, we too have been living in a modern-dayLeviticus—a new reality.As our biblical ancestors experienced, learning to live ina new reality can be extremely challenging. However,the book of Leviticus has one main lesson for us as welearn to adapt to our new circumstances: “Kedoshimt’hiyu—You shall be holy, for Adonai, your God is holy.”Throughout our wandering in an unknown wilderness, we can bemore keenly aware of the holiness of every moment and the needto continually build sacred community.Together, our Congregation Emanu-El community hasshared in so many holy moments this year. We openedreligious school, began a new curriculum, shared theHigh Holy Days, built a community sukkah, sang withShira Klein and made art with Michael Albert, made adifference in our community, state, nation and worldthrough social action and social justice, celebrated oursimchas and rejoiced together during the holidaysfrom Chanukah to Purim. And the holy momentsthis year have not all been celebratory times, we alsofound holiness in the ways that we held each otherup, gathered together to mourn terrible losses, createdcards to bring comfort, supported our neighborsthrough dark times, prayed for the healing of ourown loved ones and of people across the country andthe world.Since March, both beginning the book of Leviticusand moving into a new wilderness of social distancing,I have been inspired by the ways we have continued tocome together, build community and share in so manymore holy moments. We have continued to supporteach other in mourning, grief, loneliness and loss. Wehave celebrated b’nai mitzvah on Zoom, named babies,and shared Passover seders that brought together tensor hundreds of guests from every time zone. We haveeven continued to build our synagogue community6moving our committee meetings online and continuingto impact our local community through Mitzvah Shabbatand weekly social action projects. We have made calls,sent cards, delivered supplies, shopped for others, sentmeals and more. Simple interactions that we might havetaken for granted before have become holy at this time ofisolation. We have called our neighbors, family membersand reconnected with friends near and far. We haveshared coffee, baked challah, prayed, sung, attendedconcerts and learned with incredible teachers and experts,all online. We have found holiness, like our biblicalancestors, even in the wilderness.We, like our ancestors, are wandering inan unknown wilderness.Over the past four years, I have come to understand thatfinding holiness everywhere is one of CongregationEmanu-El’s strengths. From creating a welcomingcommunity that truly meets each and every individualwhere they are, to supporting learners and communitymembers with many varied interests and at every stage oflife, you recognize holiness in every individual and inevery moment. Though the beautiful building at 2125Westchester Avenue with its garden, gallery and repairedroof is important and we cannot wait to fill the halls onceagain, these last couple of months navigating thewilderness of COVID-19 have proven that what definesCongregation Emanu-El is not the roof, the walls, theclassrooms or anything physical. Rather, what defines thisspecial community is the way that your equanimity, grace,dedication and love radiates beyond the walls, throughthe roof and into our world. I am so grateful to have hadthe opportunity to learn from and with you. Thank youfor bringing me into your sacred community.When we finish a book of the Torah, or mark amilestone in our learning, we say “Chazak! Chazak!v’nitchazek!—Be strong! Be strong! And may we strengthen oneanother!” As we finish the book of Leviticus and as Ifinish my last months as your Assistant Rabbi, I wish youchazak, chazak v’nitchazek—May you, CongregationEmanu-El of Westchester, go from strength to strength.May you continue to strengthen one another in everywilderness and at all moments of holiness and may yoube blessed with community, love and peace.Jade Ross, Assistant Rabbi
JANE DUBRO’S MESSAGESTEP-UP & GIVE BACKChazak, chazak, v'nitchazeikBe strong, be strong, and we willstrengthen one anotherChazak – Be strong. The COVID-19virus has created communal challengesbeyond our wildest imagination. Ourefforts to remain safe and healthy haveforced us to stay home and distanceourselves physically from our friends,family and community members. Yet we remain strong,chazak. In spite of the physical barriers, our inspiredand inspiring Emanu-El leadership has implementedopportunities for us to connect with and support eachother and those around us who are in need. Whether wesocialize during Zoom coffee get-togethers, participate inlearning sessions, or engage in Mitzvah of the Weekprojects, we are connecting and we are strong.The Zoom learning opportunities reach all members ofour entire community, including our youth. The offeringsare frequent, interesting and varied. In addition toclergy-led sessions, we are fortunate to have congregantswho lend their expertise to the mix. For instance,Debra Cohen has been leading Challah workshops fromher kitchen and Janelle Berger leads meditative practicefrom her home.I am especially proud of our Mitzvah of the Weekprojects. To date we have delivered car loads of cereal toHope Community Food Pantry, sent virtual cards to TheOsborn in Rye and the New Jewish Home SarahNewman, cleaned out our closets for Kids’ Kloset, madecards and wrote letters of gratitude to first responders,and delivered snacks to nurses temporarily housed atDoral Arrowwood.Chazak – We are strong. Our families and ourcommunity are a source of strength. From our livingrooms we attend beautiful weekly Zoom ShabbatServices, meaningful Passover Seders (women’s andcommunal), Beit Midrash learning and Hebrew SchoolTefillah Services. So while we cannot enter our templebuilding, our success and source of strength is that wehave brought the temple into our homes and our lives.V’nitchazek – We must strengthen each other. I knowfirst-hand how special our community is and how ourmembers reach out to support one another. And thecurrent situation is no exception. Members reach out toone another just to check in or to ask if help is needed.Yes, we are facing significant challenges, but I am filledwith pride to be part of this community, a communitywhose members share their strengths and cometogether, even if virtually, to support one another.We must strengthen each other.Soon, God willing, we will, once again, resumecommunal life in person. Our experiences during thiscrisis will make us stronger than ever, and we will beable to rely on our collective strengths to persevere,lead, and form new meaningful connections.We are “Am Yisrael Chai,” which translates to “thenation of Israel lives.” We are strong, we overcomeadversity with determination and confidence and withthe knowledge that we will be able to meet anychallenges the future may bring.May we continue to go from strength to strength!Jane Dubro, Youth Activities & Program Director(continued from pg. 4)I am not the first to say that we are in extraordinarytimes. It is no surprise that we have met these times inextraordinary ways. We've pulled together to supportone another intellectually, communally, and spiritually.This will not only ensure Emanu-El’s ability to sustainitself, it will ensure that we can help one anotheracross this narrow bridge, through this split sea,around this desert and into the promise of better daysahead.Thank you for all you do for each other and thiscongregation. Thank you for inspiring me.Howard J. Goldsmith, Rabbi7
RITUAL CORNERMarking Time with a Place in TimeThese days it is harder thanever to distinguish one dayfrom the next. Work-lifeboundaries have completelyfallen to the wayside. Ritualsof dress and commuting andschool and social life haveceased. This uninterrupted flow can be disorienting, evenanxiety producing. Luckily, Judaism has a cure for this.About Shabbat, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote:“The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate time ratherthan space. Six days a week we live under the tyranny ofthings of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attunedto holiness in time. It is a day on which we are calledupon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn fromthe results of creation to the mystery of creation, fromthe world of creation to the creation of the world.”Help to mark time by declaring the holiness ofShabbat. How? When a student posed this question toHeschel he said, “Start by lighting candles.” We canbring the spirit of Shabbat into our homes by lightingcandles on Friday evening. Do it with us on Zoomor do it on your own. Either way, use this ancientritual to add texture, joy and holiness to your weeks,to your time.STEP-UP & GIVE BACKIt is more important than ever that we continue withour acts of tikkun olam (repairing the world) in ourcommunties. With social distancing as our new norm,volunteering looks a lot different than it did even twomonths ago, but there is no shortage of opportunities tohelp those in need of support at this time.DOROT Westchester: Caring Calls toHomebound SeniorsRideConnect: Recruiting Volunteers to doGrocery & Medication Delivery for SeniorsRideConnect, a not-for-profit programof Family Services of Westchester, isdedicated to providing transportationresources for older adults, and it ismobilizing quickly to meet the newdemand for delivery services to seniors.RideConnect’s vast database of seniors in Westchesterand Southern Putnam Counties allows them to quicklymatch volunteers with isolated seniors in need.To volunteer or to inquire about receiving grocery ormedication deliveries, email Karen Ganis atkganis@fsw.org for details.More than 300 New Yorkbased volunteers and seniorshave been paired to date forCaring Calls, DOROT’s newprogram bringing warmth,conversation and socialconnection to older adults inisolation due to COVID-19.Volunteers are matched with DOROT elders for phonevisits once or twice a week over a four-week period.
