High Holy Days
N’shamah. Nefesh.
Ruach. Soul. Spirit.
Living Breath.
Cantor Randall Schloss
I was able to leave Brookline twice this summer
for two very different, but equally invigorating,
Jewish experiences. The first was a trip to
Chicago for the annual American Conference of Cantors convention. I
had never been to Chicago before: although I didn’t get the chance to
explore extensively, it is a beautiful and vibrant city. The convention
schedule is filled with workshops, seminars, concerts, and business
meetings: the stuff of the cantorate. Although the convention ran
from Sunday through Thursday (cantors serving congregations are not
always available on Shabbat!), worship was also a central element. We
participated in services morning and evening, before and after the
day’s other programs. The worship services were also instructional:
each was thematic in a different way. One morning there was a jazz
service. Another featured significant congregational input in an
improvisational way (e.g. during the morning blessings, we were
invited to add, out loud, our own daily miracles). However there was
one common theme amongst almost all of the services (and many of
the concerts and workshops as well): N’shamah. Nefesh. Ruach. Soul.
Spirit. Living Breath. These cantors - clergy, professional service
leaders - were excited to be together in a Jewish environment. We
were excited to share music, prayer, ideas and concerns. We lead
services all the time, and yet not always this way as a member of our
own community. In Chicago, we had the opportunity to be members
of congregation Beth Israel - Ohabei Shirah: House of Israel, Lovers
of Song.
In August, I took a second trip out of town with my family to Camp
Micah in Maine. Camp Micah has an idyllic setting: on a slope,
overlooking a lake with a backdrop of forested hills. My kids had a
wonderful time, particularly enjoying the company of many of our staff
and congregants who either work at Camp Micah or attend as
campers, and participating in myriad activities: boating, swimming,
climbing, dancing, etc. The campers all seem to love it as well,
happily running, yelling, laughing, and singing from one activity to the
next. But then Friday evening came. In the center of the slope,
overlooking the lake, is Micah’s outdoor chapel. The campers and
staff, adults and children of all ages gathered together, all wearing
white shirts, to welcome Shabbat. I led services with counselors,
campers, and staff members (Shari Churwin, Kate Mikesh and David
Sumberg among others). Together we truly celebrated Shabbat. We
sang, danced, talked, laughed as the kids had done throughout the
week, but now it was evident that this was a Jewish camp. The central
activity and highlight of the week was this Shabbat service. Rather
than serve as a break from the rest of the week, I got the impression
that the joy and spirit exhibited throughout the week was derived from
this Shabbat celebration.
This year, at Ohabei Shalom, we strive to create these kinds of
experiences for our entire congregation. Our services will often

feature lively, festive music with greater congregational participation
in our musical ensembles. Our Ansin Religious School programs and
adult education programs will have a stronger connection to Shabbat
as well as we strive to create and sustain the kinds of experiences
described above: N’shamah. Nefesh. Ruach. Soul. Spirit. Living
President’s Message
Jesse Cochin
Dear Congregants:
It is with great enthusiasm that I announce an
exciting new policy that will be implemented for
the upcoming High Holy Days. In an effort to fill
our beautiful Sanctuary and give potential
members the opportunity to observe our
services, we encourage you to invite your friends and family to this
year’s High Holiday Services at no cost – that is correct – NO
COST. In these difficult economic times, this is our way of saying
thank you for your support, while at the same time helping to create
more community participation and interest in Temple Ohabei
Shalom.
Our clergy and Board have enthusiastically embraced this idea as I
am sure you will as well. In fact, we would like to use these holidays
and services in lieu of our traditional open house for prospective
members and as a source of a new infusion of supporters. We need
your help: think about your neighbors, colleagues, friends, and family
who just might appreciate coming to our services – and please invite
them!
In order to participate, a downloadable registration form is set up on
our website at www.ohabei.org and is also printed in this Tidings.
Thank you for making this program successful and if you have any
questions about the process, please contact Steven Davis, Executive
Director, at 617-277-6610 x22.

Ansin Religious School
Shari Churwin
Director of Education
The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate
time rather than space. Six days a week we live
under the tyranny of things of space; on the
Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness
in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what
is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the
mystery of creation; from the world of creation to the creation of
the world.
Abraham Joshua Heshel
aware that this may be a difficult transition year
for some families. Please call or email me in the
school office (617-739-9200,

new program. We are deeply committed to keeping our school the
warm, nurturing, wonderful experience it has always been. I am
confident that the new programs, initiatives and schedule for the
coming year will move us closer to our vision of being a fountain of
living and joyful Judaism.

Last spring, the Avi Chai foundation released a report entitled

“Schools That Work: What We Can Learn from Good Jewish Important ARS Dates:
Supplementary Schools.” This study confirms that weekly religious
school education can be successful. Perhaps more importantly, the Mark Your Calendars!
study identifies the elements that help define "success" in schools,
offering suggestions for replicating the excellence that the research
team found. The study presents six "noteworthy characteristics of Yom Rishon – First Day of school
good schools." Good schools (1) work on building friendships and
community, (2) go beyond teaching facts to allow students to work Prek - Grade 2
on meaning, (3) use experiential education, (4) actualize a clear September 12, 2009, 9:30 – 11:30 am or Tuesday,

these elements and brings us closer to achieving our goal of Grades 3 – 6
reinvigorating our school by aligning it with the traditional cycle of Tuesday, September 8, 3:30 pm – 5:45 pm (note new

We are proud to announce that Louis Goldman, Co-President of our
Brotherhood, has been elected to the Board of the Jewish
Chautauqua Society (JCS), which has for over 115 years provided

Reform Judaism.

Sisterhood News
Betsy Gould
On Sunday, September 13th at 11:30 a.m., our book club will
discuss Six of One. It is “a rousing tale of two sisters told by
Rita Mae Brown in her unapologetic, eccentric Southern style.
She introduces us to Julia & Louise Hunsenmeir, fondly known
as Juts & Wheezie, an indomitable pair of quarreling sisters
born around the turn-of-the-century in Runnymede, MD.
Spanning almost a century, we watch the mad cap life of Juts
and Wheezie.” If this whets your appetite, please read the book,
and come prepared to join in our discussion.
Our wonderful Sisterhood community will welcome new
members, as well as our long-time devoted, to an opening
Dessert & Coffee. Featured guest speaker will be Karen
Glansberg, our director of TOS’ new early childhood center.
Our own Estelle Katz will provide the musical entertainment as
only she can. An opportunity to make new friends, enjoy
interesting activities while helping Ohabei Shalom and the
greater Jewish community, is Sisterhood at its best! Please join
us on Monday, September 14th at 7 p.m. Sisterhood is a life-
changing experience.
Sunday, October 25th at 3 p.m., pianist Julie Boris along with
Cantor and Leah Schloss, as well as David Sparr, will perform
an outstanding concert. Look for more infomation in the
