Tish’ah B’Av July 31st 8:15 PM
Jewish civilization is generally hopeful. Nonetheless, we don’t forget that we’ve suffered more than our share of tragedies. Indeed, it’s sometimes useful, if we want to look up, to note how far down we’ve fallen. It helps us orient. Therefore, we gather on the evening of the 9th of Av (Tish’ah B’Av) to remember an event that our tradition has come to see as symbolic of the brokenness of the world and the hiddenness of the Loving Divine, the destruction of the ancient Temple that symbolized God’s presence in the world for our ancestors. In our brief service, we read the ancient lament of the book of Eichah interspersed with readings and songs that remind
Tu B’Av, the Festival of Love: Dancing and Donations Sunday, August 6th, 7 PM
Tu B’Av (15th of Av) is a little-known holiday on the Jewish calendar associated with dancing, love, and wed-dings. (To learn more, come to Bagels and Bible on August 5th.) Let’s celebrate with easy Israeli dancing, both circle dances and couple dances, taught by Merle and Rav Jeremy - come alone or with a partner. In honor of the origin of the holiday as a wedding-promotion day and in fulfillment of the mitzvah of helping brides (hahnasat kalah), we’ll collect donations in any amount for Brides Across America, which provides wedding dresses for military brides and first responders. Rav Jeremy and Merle will provide the bottle of wine, you provide the thou.

Judy
Summer! How we wait for this season during winter’s short days and long periods of dark. Now the days are marvelously long and light. Kids can play outside after dinner and chase fireflies. It still seems magical.
Our Shabbat prayer talks about the Force that rolls day into night and night into day. In summer we see the awe of that Force rolling white & brown into green & gold - pink and red and purple. And peonies … Peonies always get me. They appear annually from nothing, to vertical twigs, to leafy green bushes with bursts of pink - in just 8 weeks. And then back to ground in just 10 more.
Jim and I hope the summer will bring you and yours together to enjoy some of the light and lightness of this slightly less frenetic season. And we hope to spend some of it with you. Join us for a Shabbat, a service, or program. Participate in building our community and our long-term vision. Welcome in 5778 by helping us design the High Holidays. If you'd like to participate, but you're not sure how or in what way, give us or Rav Jeremy a call and we'll find a good match.
We hope you all have a wonderful summer. Be well and have some fun!
A MESSAGE FROM JUDY STEIN, VICE PRESIDENT
MISSION STATEMENT
Temple Bnai Israel is a welcoming Jewish community which offers a spiritual, religious, and social home for all Jews. We cherish a belief in one God, the Torah, prayer and the music and beauty of our Jewish culture. We are commanded and committed to passing these blessings on to all future generations.
We observe and celebrate Jewish traditions and laws, while remaining open to change which meets the needs of our time, and which will stand the test of time.
We intend to be a force for good and comfort as individuals and as a whole. We seek to offer justice, tolerance, and charity within the Temple Bnai Israel community, the larger Jewish community, and the non-Jewish worlds within which we live.
Our synagogue recognizes the equality of all Jews. Jewish men and women, including those Jews in interfaith marriages, are entitled to participate equally in all religious rites, and all secular and religious leadership positions. Our congregation also reaches out to all who welcome Judaism into their lives.
We believe in the ancient teaching:
RABBINIC REFLECTIONS - an excerpt from Rav Jeremy’s Yom Hashoah Talk
4
Vigilance Against Fascism
In my Yom Hashoah talk, I asked whether it honors or diminishes the memory of the six million to speak of contemporary events. Certainly, one should be cautious in doing so. But what if there’s even a small chance that “it could happen here”? And history shows that although our country’s democratic institutions are very strong, thinking “it could never happen here” is a mistake. With that in mind, I shared some things that worry me, and that I think patriotic Americans of any, or no, party affiliation should be wary of:
Scapegoating and extreme polarizing language. When immigrants, Muslims, Jews, liberals, conservatives or others are spoken of in wholly negative terms or in terms that are meant to terrify or imply their inhumanity, we should all speak out. No matter your ideas about the best approach to immigration policy or your thoughts on how to combat the terrorist wing of Islam, you should also know that dehumanizing generalizations about groups of people are dangerous, and end up creating a society in which no one is safe.
Both major parties love gerrymandering. But, we must be vigilant about any aspirations or moves toward one-party rule, whether through gerrymandering, vote suppression, or any other tools. Figuring out ways to improve the fairness of redistricting, and to encourage voting by as many legitimate voters as possible should be important to any patriotic, anti-fascist American.
Attacks on the essential institutions that provide the checks and balances of our democratic/republican system, such as the free press and the independent judiciary. Disagreeing with legitimate news outlets and individual judicial rulings is to be expected in our system. Belittling the free press and attacking the independent judiciary undermines our system. We need to support these institutions. Subscribe to a newspaper that has on-the-beat, investigative reporters. Listen to/watch/read media that both ask hard questions and listen to the answers.
Normalization/acceptance of fascists. There is a video of Deputy Assistant to the President Sebastian Gorka expressing support for the neo-fascist Magyar Garda, a later-outlawed Hungarian paramilitary group. The Jewish Forward has documented other likely connections to Hungarian fascists. As far as I’m concerned, his fascist connections should result in his immediate dismissal. It’s important that the President hear especially from Republicans and people who voted for him about this. You didn’t vote Republican/Trump to support fascists.
Undermining of verifiable truth (as well as reasonably very probably truth). This is a fundamental tactic of fascists. They repeat false statements and half-truths over and over. They promote the idea that everyone has their own opinions/fake news/philosophies, so no one knows the truth, (and you might as well listen to them.) Truth is the ground on which struggles for human rights are fought and human progress is gained. As George Orwell wrote in “1984,” “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” Don’t shrug off repeated false statements or the undermining of truth. These are dangers to the republic.
I see bits of all of these dangers in our social discourse and politics today. Nonetheless, I’m optimistic. I tend to think it’s not going to happen here. Our institutions are holding. President Trump isn’t an ideological fascist, (although it worries me that he seems unaware of, or unconcerned about, the dangers above). But I write this column because our history demands that we be vigilant; I worry that a serious terrorist attack, for example, could turn things the wrong way.
I’ve mentioned some ways of being good, patriotic Republican/Democratic/neither-of-the-above citizens. Several others can be found in the clear and hard-hitting book “Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century” by Timothy Snyder. (The book is also clearly partisan, but I think the vast majority of the book would be appreciated, enlightening and useful for patriotic, anti-fascist members of any party.)

CARING COMMITTEE Caring for each other in times of need
Fran Jaffe Ellie Shane 860.228.2390 860.423.7418 [email protected] [email protected]
The Tikkun Olam Committee has been discussing our future projects, particularly as they relate to the Temple Visioning process. We have been, and are, involved with many activities and “tasks” that involve the local community. However, we are excited to become more engaged with others within our congregation and reach out to the larger community beyond Temple Bnai Israel. We hope to choose an issue (or two?) and engage, advocate and activate others to work with us. We envision working with all of the other committees at TBI and hope to have our voices heard.
We already have some
SAVE THE DATES FOR FALL! MARK YOUR CALENDARS…..
We are planning a September fundraiser for QCRR;
Quiet Corner Refugee Resettlement program, date/time details coming soon!
Our 4th annual Sukkot celebration on OCTOBER 8 at the No-Freeze Center in Willimantic.
Walk for Warmth on NOVEMBER 19, which this year WILL BE HOSTED AT TBI!
We will need lots of help, please sign up to volunteer at [email protected] as soon as you can!
Even though it’s the lazy days of summer we continue to make sandwiches on the 4th Sunday of each month at the Covenant Soup Kitchen, collect beans for those in need (you can leave your canned, boxed, or dried beans in the basket in our Temple’s lobby), and deliver bread and food to the Soup Kitchen.
Our next meeting is July 16 at TBI. All are welcome. Hope you can join us.

COMMITTEE NEWS
TIKKUN OLAM COMMITTEE, Anne Willenborg [email protected] 860.429.8725
Thanks to Sheila Amdur, Susan Meisler, and Carol Kraus, our e-leaders in June. Our leaders for July are Sheila and Susan (thanks for the double duty)!
We have no leaders signed up for August or September. If you think you may have some time to lend a
hand, and can help us respond should any of our members be in need during those months (or any other), we certainly can use you. We do have volunteers in October.
Our committee would truly welcome some additional members to help lighten the load of the existing members. Perhaps you know of someone who wants to get more involved in the Temple but doesn't want to make a huge commitment. Being on this Committee is pretty simple since we communicate through email – no monthly meetings - please join us!
If you or anyone you know needs some help, you can contact the monthly leaders, the committee co-chairs (Fran Jaffe and/or Ellie Shane) or Rav Jeremy.
Hope you’re having a great summer! Special note: The Daughters Of Abraham Book Club column will return in the September edition.
Happy summer!

RABBINIC REFLECTIONS - continued from Page 4
Snyder is a respected, if not uncontroversial, historian of the Holocaust at Yale, and much of his book seems to be good common sense as well as generally historically grounded. Among the “lessons” that form his short chapters, let me mention three that I haven’t discussed above. Chapter 12 is “Make eye contact and small talk.” Our strengthening of bonds of human friendship and trust, across boundaries of party, religion, ethnicity, etc., is extremely important in these polarized and polarizing times. My hope for our country’s future is partly based on the mutual love and respect I share with members of our congregation from a wide variety of political outlooks. Our human relationships within and outside the congregation will stand us in good stead as we try to make our country and world the best they can be, sometimes disagreeing vehemently about how to do that. Snyder concludes with “Be a patriot” and “Be as courageous as you can.” May we be so.
Please note that Rav Jeremy will be away
