Thank you to our volunteers and staff

for an AMAZING Back-to-Shul barbe-

cue, with about 70 Beth Shalom mem-

bers and potential members coming!

Thank you to the Edmonton Jewish

Community Charitable Foundation for

providing Beth Shalom Congregation

with a Grant for

the Back to Shul BBQ Program.

Jewish tradition teaches that each year can have both blessings and curses, but one as-

pect of Rosh Hashanah is that whatever curses there were in the past year should come

to an end, as reported in the Talmud's tractate Megillah. Earlier this summer, it looked

like that could have been the case, as vaccinations quickly brought down the numbers

of infections and, even more importantly, of serious cases.

Now the world is dealing with a new variant, and this has led to the numbers increasing rapidly so that, once

again, we are taking measures to protect our members: only people who are fully vaccinated (at least two

weeks after their second dose) can come to services, and everyone who does come must wear a mask, except

for those speaking or chanting from the bimah, and any children too young to wear a mask.

So it may feel like we are still dealing with the same curse for the second Rosh Hashanah in a row. Yet we

also should recognize the blessing that human beings were able to create multiple safe and effective vaccines

against the virus within record time, and that Israeli health officials are reporting that a third dose is already

beginning to show its effectiveness against the delta variant.

We human beings face challenges - call them curses - and enjoy blessings in every year. Some of this is not in

our human control, and we turn to God especially on Rosh Hashanah to ask for blessings. And we also do

our best to create blessings - in our lives, in our families, in our synagogue, in our community, in Israel, and

in the world. This partnership with God in continuing the work of creation is what being human is all about,

and we are blessed to be allowed and commanded to take part.

Join us in person or on the livestream as we gather together in prayers for a sweet and healthy new year!

Shanah tovah,

Rabbi Steven Schwarzman

As we look back on 5781, the one thing that was normal was that there was never a

point in time where the normal we knew prior to COVID was our normal. We went

through a long period of time when the synagogue was closed for in-person ser-

vices, we stayed close to home, and for too long we have maintained distance from

family and friends. A few months ago, at Beth Shalom, we began to take our first

steps on the path to full reopening, recognizing that the pandemic is still with us

and that variants will continue to impact us for a long time. For the moment, we

strongly urge service attendees to wear masks while in the sanctuary, and we urge those members

who are not yet fully vaccinated or are unable to be vaccinated to join us on our livestream:

https://www.edmontonbethshalom.org/livestream.html.

It has been a difficult year of suffering and loss, of isolation and fatigue, and of adaptation and change. Yet,

we also see possibility and hope on the horizon. Vaccines have been available for some time, allowing us to

step, carefully and slowly, out into the world, again. A couple of weeks ago we hosted a Back to Shul BBQ

with just under 70 attendees. For many of those present it was the first time in 18 months that they had sat at

the same table with people from beyond their own bubble. I want to thank Boris & Michelle Belkin for plan-

ning this event and thank you to the Edmonton Jewish Community Charitable Foundation (EJCCF) for a

generous grant that helped make this event possible.

This past month we awarded the Max & Helene Sussman Scholarship to Eden Rosenblum, who will be attend-

ing a 10-month program in Israel. The Sussman Scholarship was set up to support younger members of our

community, from ages 13 -25, who enroll in a Jewish camp, a Jewish educational program, or Israel experi-

ence. While the fund is held by EJCCF, it is Beth Shalom that promotes it and considers applications. We will

be promoting this scholarship, again, following High Holidays.

Recently, Rabbi Schwarzman and I met with the leadership team visiting from Beth Tzedec, in Calgary. It was

an opportunity to begin to talk about the kinds of programming we might do, together, including a future

Israel trip. We had a very good conversation, and we are looking forward to further dialogue.

As always, I am grateful for the time and commitment from our volunteers doing Torah reading and daven-

ing for this year’s High Holidays. And thank you, too, and yasher koach to all our volunteers who are daven-

ing or reading Torah and Haftarot on Shabbat, and thank you to those who daven for our daily morning min-

yans on Zoom throughout the year. Thank you, as well, to our volunteers, our staff, our donors, and our com-

munity organizations who help us to maintain Beth Shalom. May the coming year be a much brighter one for

all of us. On behalf of my family and the Board of Directors at Beth Shalom, I wish everyone a happy,

healthy, and sweet new year!

Beth Shalom M. Yedlin Memorial Library New Acqusitions

“Never Alone” is the result of a three-year writing partnership between

Natan Sharansky and the American historian Gil Troy, who lives in Israel. …

it sums up what (Sharansky) learned from nine years of imprisonment in a

Soviet Gulag during the 1970s and 80s, his political life following his release

and his nine years as head of The Jewish Agency for Israel, which ended last

year..

AJT: You’ve written about the importance of identity. How concerned are

you about Jewish identity in the world today? Or are we moving toward a

better acceptance of our identity?

Sharansky: Well, we write a lot about this problem. The connection between liberalism and identity is the

central theme, in a way, of this book. There is a movement in the world by those who want to restore national

pride by destroying liberalism and we Jews are trying to keep these two things together. We want to be a

Jewish people and we want to live in a liberal society, and we have to keep these things together.

Troy: Part of the motivation for writing this book, frankly, is it’s almost like a Valentine. It’s a love story

about our connection and especially Natan’s connection with the Jewish people. It’s knowing that we’re nev-

er alone when we’re part of this amazing network. The real audience is the next generation. It’s a challenge

also to the parents and the grandparents saying to them: “Tell the story, tell how American Jews helped save

the Soviet Jews. Tell how we’ve passed on the torch from generation to generation.” But it’s also a challenge

to them and an invitation to the next generation to say: “Find your identity. You can find your way of doing

tikkun olam, helping the world, contributing to the world, being a good person through this amazing frame-

work that we Jews have created.” We say let’s continue the conversation. Let’s learn who we are, who we can

be and who we’ve been.

AJT: One of the major changes that has occurred

since you wrote this book is the agreements be-

tween Israel and the United Arab Emirates and

Bahrain. You were very critical about the Oslo

Accords and the withdrawal from Gaza. What is

your view of these new agreements?

Sharansky: My criticism, over the Oslo Accords,

was because I felt they were trying to find a dicta-

tor like Yasser Arafat who will rule Palestinians

for us and will bring us peace by controlling Pales-

tinians. What happened in Bahrain, of course, and

Abu Dhabi is very different. The people there are

standing in lines to have businesses with Israel, to

visit Israel, to learn Hebrew. I think this normali-

zation can be a turning point.

I hope that this new cooperation will also include

Palestinian businessmen and Palestinian culture

exchanges. And as a result, there will be more

ground for a real civil society, a real civil dialog

between Israel and the Arabs.

AJT: At a time when many feel isolated because

of the pandemic, the title of your book, “Never

Alone,” seems ironic. What advice would you give

us at this challenging time?

Sharansky: I would advise Jews to never forget

that you are part of a great people who have

sometimes felt very separate, and in very lonely

places, but who have always felt themselves con-

nected. We had our own network long before we

had the internet and that has been a great force.

And that’s exactly what this book is about. It’s

what helps us to be optimistic, in spite of all our

challenges.

A guide to the Observance of Mourning . (This is a general guide only.

For details, please consult Rabbi Schwarzman).

Who is a mourner? We are obliged to mourn for a father, mother, son, daugh-

ter, brother, sister (including half-brother and half-sister), husband or wife.

Males from the age of thirteen years and females from the age of twelve years

should observe the laws of mourning. While one is permitted to observe mourn-

ing rites for others, those who wish to do so should consult their rabbi.

Between death and burial. During the period between death and burial the

mourner is known as an onen. The onen is obligated to arrange for the funeral

and burial of the dead. In recognition of this obligation and of the mourner’s

fragile state of mind at this time, the onen is exempt from fulfilling certain oth-

er religious duties, such as reciting prayers or putting on tefillin, and is not

called to the Torah. On Shabbat or a Festival, however, an onen may attend

services.

Mourner’s Kaddish. The Kaddish is generally thought of as a prayer for the

dead, but it does not mention death or the dead. Reciting the Mourner’s Kaddish

is an act of faith, expressing hope in the presence of grief. We praise God with

the words of the Kaddish, accepting God’s sovereignty and affirming life in this

world. In Jewish tradition, this takes place in public assembly. Thus the Kad-

dish is recited only in the presence of a minyan. The Mourner’s Kaddish is recited for one’s parents for eleven months

(in some communities for twelve months), counting First and Second Adar, in a leap year, as two separate months.

Some count these eleven months from the date of death; others from the date of the funeral. It is recited for thirty days

by the other relatives. In many communities it is customary to extend the period of saying Kaddish for other relatives,

as well, to eleven months. The Mourner’s Kaddish is also recited on each anniversary of the death (yahrzeit), and

commonly, at Yizkor services on Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Pesah, and Shavuot.

The Board of Directors and Congregation offer their deepest condolences to the following families:

To Ida Katz on the loss of her husband, Barry Katz.

To Daryl & Renee Katz & family on the loss of Daryl’s father, Barry Katz.

To Shelley & Michael Bobroff & family on the loss of Shelley’s father, Barry Katz.

To Alyssa Katz & family on the loss of Alyssa’s father, Barry Katz.

May his memory his memory be a blessing.

Ensuring School Security for our

Talmud Torah Students

We hope this email finds you and your family well and enjoying the last

weeks of summer.

Will you join so many others like you in making a gift to ensure every

child attending Talmud Torah can do so knowing the security of the

school is paramount?

From our first outreach to you, Talmud Torah has received an outpouring of support for our special

campaign to support the unexpected additional security costs of $15,000 committed by the Society for the

period May – August. With our fiscal year coming to a close August 31st, your donation to this special

campaign helps offset this expense.

To date we have raised 70% of our goal. Support from donors near and far have reinforced our belief that

there's still a connection to Talmud Torah for so many of you who value the

education and friendships that have been forged.

Your gift to our special security campaign will help us meet our financial

obligations without risking the day-to-day operational support the

Society provides to the school.

We are proud to say that 100% of our Board of Directors have already

stepped forward to support this important initiative. Will you join us in

ensuring that the costs of our unexpected security needs will not compro-

mise the education of our students? Your contribution to this special

campaign will make an impact each and every day.

Now, more than ever, we need supporters like you to give our students and

families the security they deserve.

On behalf of the Talmud Torah Society board, we thank you.

Important Kehila Reminders

Accuracy of Information: We do our best to ensure

the accuracy of all the information in the Bulletin, but

despite our best efforts, sometimes an error appears.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any errors.

Please let us know so that we can correct them as soon

as possible or update our records where necessary.

Mishebeirah—prayer for the sick: If you would like us

to include the name of someone who is not well during the

Mishebeirach prayer when services begin again on Shabbat

morning, please either call 780.488-6333/301 or email

[email protected], with their Hebrew or English name/s.

Traditionally we include the person's Hebrew name(s) and

their mother's Hebrew name(s), for example, “Moshe ben

D'vorah” or “D’vorah bat Miriam” (ben or bat means son or

daughter of). If, however, you do not have a Hebrew name for

this person or they are not Jewish then an English name will

do. If a name on the list should no longer be listed, can you

kindly let us know so we can remove the individual from our

list?

Due to the Canadian privacy of information laws we

require that congregants get permission from the ill

person(s) to have their name(s) read aloud from the Bimah

on Shabbat.
