notes from the hazzan 

DAVID B. SISLEN 

More so than at any time of year, the High Holidays are a time when 

the nusach, the system of melodies which is used in our tradition to 

chant specific pieces of the liturgy, truly defines the texts of the service, 

lifting them off the page in a way that gives the words added 

meaning and depth. The changes are first evident on Selichot night, 

when many of the unique sounds of the service are reintroduced, 

only to be echoed throughout the entire Yamim Noraim period. It 

makes perfect sense that the music of the Rosh Hashanah and Yom 

Kippur services is unique to these holidays; since the liturgy itself is 

different in both text and quality, it is fitting that the melodies should be, as well. In 

some cases, such as the pleading Kaddish of the Neila service, we use melodies that are 

only heard once a year, befitting the singularity of these texts in our annual cycle. But 

in many cases, the subtleties of the complex musical structure of the services rushes by, 

being felt by the congregation in terms of changes of mood or style, but not lasting long 

enough for a thorough analysis. As we head into Yamim Noraim 5772, I thought I 

would take a few moments to give a taste of what’s going on behind the scenes of our 

rich High Holiday liturgy. 

THE MA’ARIV (EVENING) SERVICE — Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur eves are the 

only time in our tradition that the Ma’ariv service is chanted in a Major key (in our 

familiar Lithuanian tradition). The familiar refrains of these services, introduced by the 

“Ay ay ay….” melody before Barchu sets a grand, celebratory, and one-of-a-kind tone 

for the entire Holiday period. 

MALCHUYOT, ZICHRONOT, AND SHOFAROT — The three sections of the Rosh 

Hashanah Musaf service deal with the themes of God’s Sovereignty, Memory, and the 

Shofar, respectively. The way each is introduced is unique to the themes of the section. 

Malchuyot (Sovereignty) is introduced with the Great Aleinu, a majestic melody which 

is shared with the beginning section of the Amida itself. After setting this mood for the 

Malchuyot verses, the Zichronot (Memory) section opens in a more introspective 

Minor, reflecting the warmth of memory, and the prayerful hope that we will be remembered 

for Good. Finally, Shofarot begins back in Major, and in most settings of the opening 

paragraph, it is not unusual to hear, appropriately, the sound of the Shofar being 

echoed subtly in the music. 

KOL NIDRE — The keynote text which introduces the Yom Kippur evening service has 

become an annual focal point for Yamim Noraim services, in a way which belies its 

actual role in the service, which is to nullify vows made carelessly or under duress 

which would be otherwise unbreakable. Its role in this most dramatic service has made 

it synonymous with the official start of the atonement process. The familiar melody that 

we use, while not universal (a quick web search can give you a taste of how Kol Nidre 

sounds in other traditions), reflects the entire process of Teshuvah, repentance. It 

begins in the Ahavah Rabah mode, a mode that is used to set a mood of pleading,

HAKOL

From the Rabbi’s Study 

RABBI ANDREW WARMFLASH 

The Book of Numbers is largely concerned with the 40 years our 

ancestors wondered in the Sinai wilderness after they received the 

Torah and before entering the Promised Land. It begins with a physical 

description of the Israelite camp. Explaining that each time the 

people encamped, the Levites erected the portable tabernacle in their 

midst and all the other tribes arrayed themselves around it. In the 

center of everything was the Ark containing the Torah that Moses 

brought down from the mountain. 

The symbolism is clear: The Torah is meant to be at the center 

of Jewish life. It is the beating heart of the Jewish people, pumping out the spiritual 

energy that sustains us and renews us. 

Yet for many contemporary Jews, the Torah is something of a closed book—an 

ancient text we respect, but don’t engage very much, if at all. 

This year, we want to change that in our Jewish community. We have declared the 

New Year of 5772 to be: HERJC’s Year of Torah and have planned an unprecedented 

number of programs, classes, and experiences which will engage our entire congregation 

in Torah. 

The centerpiece of this effort will be the writing of a new Torah scroll that we will 

use for generations to come. This Sefer Torah is largely being written for us by a scribe 

in Israel, but all of us, and our children and grandchildren will have an opportunity to 

actually physically participate in the writing. 

In this issue of Hakol, you can see just a few of the many Torah centered programs 

that will be coming up at HERJC in the next couple of months. They include: our 

Selichot program which considers the story of Cain and Abel from the perspective of 

law and order in contemporary America; our Scholar in Residence weekend of Torah 

Study with Rabbi Eliezer Diamond of JTS, our Sukkot Torah Fair for the whole family 

and lots more. 

The coming High Holidays are a time for renewal and rededication. This year may 

we all renew our people’s ancient historic commitment to putting the Torah in the center 

of our lives, and rededicate ourselves to living joyous meaningful lives guided by its 

teachings. 

From my family to yours, Shanah Tovah.

Shalom friends! Summer is over and the new congregational year is 

about to begin. As I begin my 22nd year here at HERJC, I would like 

to take a few moments to recall some summer events: a hearty yasher 

koach to all those individuals who gave inspirational d’vrai Torah 

and recited haftarot. To all those who attended our Shabbat afternoon 

services and seuda shlisheit, not only did they enjoy good 

company, good food, and good conversation, they also helped make 

sure there was always a minyan on a late Saturday evening. 

Incidentally, there were on average, at least 20 people, each week. 

On July 4th, we held our annual Bagel Barbeque Breakfast. The weather was perfect 

and our garden provided a lovely setting. Thirty five people came and we all enjoyed 

patriotic music, good company, and of course patriotic themed food, catered by my wife 

Hannah, who was assisted by Carol Rubinstein and Rhona Tanenbaum. 

Thank you to all those who helped Hazzan Sislen make sure there was always a minyan 

while I was away on vacation, in particular Norman Doctor, and Mike Frank. 

I wish to take this opportunity to thank many people who have in their own way, 

helped me in my work during the past year: Rabbi Warmflash and Hazzan Sislen, for 

their continued support; Helaine, Betsy, Eva and Nancy—thanks for putting up with 

me for another year; Cheryl Karp, David Woolfe, and Todd Hausman for being great 

colleagues; James and the maintenance staff for all your willing help; President Dan 

Gerstman, thank you for having confidence in me; and our Ritual Committee for all 

your encouragement and support. 

A special thank you to the minyannaires, that wonderful group of individuals who 

attend morning minyan throughout the year. And finally, to the most important people 

of all: you, the members of our congregation. Thank you for allowing me to serve you 

in any way I can. To those of you who celebrated a simcha, mazal tov, and to those of 

you who sadly suffered a bereavement, I wish you chaim aruchim (long life). 

Hannah, Ariel, Avital and I thank you for continuing to make us feel part of the 

HERJC Family. Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year.

DAN GERSTMAN 

From the President 

I have always been intrigued by the concept of “a beginners mind.” 

By that, I mean the ability to experience life as-it-is. To live in the 

moment, with a fresh perspective no matter how many times one 

repeats an action or event, is fascinating. For me, a beginner’s mind 

experiences life like a small child, full of enthusiastic curiosity, wonder, 

and amazement. 

As we join together for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and follow 

with Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, I prefer to do 

so with “a beginners mind.” The Jewish New Year offers a new beginning 

filled with so much hope and spirit to each of us! We gather as a community family 

for individual reflection and self-examination, knowing we are a continuing part of 

the greater Jewish people. This year, we will experience the holidays in HERJC’s welcoming 

tradition, led by Rabbi Warmflash who has new inspiring directives for us individually 

and collectively. And of course, with Hazzan Sislen, coming off an outstanding 

rookie year, who will lead us in prayer and song from our marvelous and (nearly new) 

Holiday Prayerbooks! As we embark on this New Year of 5772 together, we face exciting 

opportunities and challenges. My hope and goal is that HERJC will thrive as the 

place where we are supportive of each other (through good and bad), the place where 

we can express our spiritual yearnings, and the place where we connect to our Jewish 

traditions and maintain our support of Israel. 

And speaking of Israel, led by Rabbi Warmflash and an enthusiastic group of volunteers, 

under our HERJC Cares umbrella, we have an Israel Action Group who will “create 

a climate that leads to advocacy for Israel via a program of education and awareness”. 

It has been quite wonderful to watch as we gain momentum with our support of 

Israel during a time when it is obvious that our beloved Israel has never needed us 

more! Also, we continue to add enthusiastic participants to our HERJC Cares committee 

as we comfort those in need right here in our community, visiting congregants who 

would like companionship and driving congregants in need to medical appointments. 

We also plan to take the wraps off a brand new program this year called Mitzvah 613! 

There are so many unbelievably talented individuals already preparing a very meaningful 

year that will fill our lives with opportunities to connect to Torah. For the vast 

majority of us, this will be the first opportunity to fulfill the 613th commandment 

which is to write a Torah. It also allows us to educate, dedicate, and contribute in so 

many ways that will become apparent as the New Year rolls out. I urge everyone to be 

a part of Mitzvah 613 as it will bring great joy to you and your family and will allow us 

to come together as a community with great meaning! 

Mitzvah 613 will allow the children of our Early Childhood Center and Religious 

School to connect to Torah as well. This year we experience our first full year as a PJ 

Library Jewish Centre, which affords us the ability to send free books (monthly) to 

Jewish families with children ages 6 months to 6 years. With PJ Library and other bright 

new ideas, we create a vision that allows us to improve and sustain our schools and to

successfully launch new programs. Last year saw the wonderfully successful launch of 

Jewish Building Blocks for 4–6 year olds and our new inclusive education program. 

This year, we are launching a program for the older children as we begin a great new 

class for our high school students. 

So this year, whether you experience something new like Mitzvah 613 or participate 

in our revitalized efforts to support Israel, I pray that you can approach it with wonder, 

joy and amazement. I hope you agree that it is great to be a meaningful part of our 

beautiful traditions! Whether it be reading Torah (an area of great potential), taking a 

meaningful role as a volunteer on a synagogue group, participating in Sisterhood or 

Men’s Club, reaching a bit deeper to help HERJC financially, or giving back time with 

acts of loving-kindness, we will continue to create opportunities! 

As I begin my third and final year as your President, I want to thank each and every 

one of our volunteers who give so freely of their time, energy and talents. And we are 

always grateful to so many who contribute funds that are so vital to making our budget 

work. On behalf of our Board of Directors and our congregants, I thank our highly 

valued, dedicated staff who help us be the best synagogue possible! 

On behalf of my wife Pam, and my children Lauren, Charlie, Brooke and Gaby, the 

Gerstman family wishes you all a sweet, happy and healthy holiday season! May we all 

be inscribed in the Book of Life for the coming year!

Hazzan continued from page 4 

begging. In the middle of the text, the scale rises to Minor, where it adopts a gentle, but 

less mournful feel. And finally, it concludes in a triumphant Major. These three musical 

moves reflect the three steps of Teshuvah; mournful as we realize the substance of 

our misdeeds, gentle as we resolve to right the wrongs and affect change in our lives, 

and finally the joy at having been successful in our efforts, receiving the forgiveness and 

atonement we have, hopefully, earned. 

These few examples are but a few of the dozens of apt marriages of unique music to 

unique texts in the Machzor. My hope is as we daven together this Yamim Noraim and 

make the journey toward Teshuvah together once again, that you will be aware of how 

the special music of the High Holidays sets the stage for an annual unique and dramatic 

experience. May we all be inspired in our prayers to seek Teshuvah Shleimah, complete 

repentance, and may our prayers be heard so that we are granted a new year of 

happiness, prosperity, comfort, and peace. G’mar Chatimah Tovah. 

Searching For Singers 

Hazzan Sislen is looking to assemble a group of 4-6 singers who read music 

and are able to learn multi-part pieces on their own. In addition to presenting 

music periodically for various occasions, this group will form the core of a 

re-assembled choir in the future. If you have the skills and the time, please 

contact cantorsislen@herjc.org.

HERJC forms Israel action committee 

We have formed a committee to create a climate that leads to advocacy for Israel via programs of education and awareness. 

This is NOT about raising money, but rather finding a means for people to get involved in specific actions that 

will help us support Israel from here. Each program will have a component of information or entertainment and a 

component that embraces “so what can I do?” 

Our first program will be on September 15 at 7:45 pm at the synagogue. Our featured speaker will be David Ze’ev, 

diplomatic and political correspondent for Israel Radio. David’s topic will be “Stop Apologizing”, discussing Israel’s 

feeling of being under fire literally and figuratively and feeling that it has to defend itself. Coincidently, this program 

will take place during the same week the UN will be taking up the issue of Palestinian statehood. Following David’s 

presentation, a representative from APIAC will discuss how we as ordinary citizens can help promote the US-Israel 

relationship. 

Please join us for this important event. It will be a wonderful way to get an inside view of what is going on and a 

tangible way for us to show our support for Israel. 

Stop Apologizing 

Israel Under Fire Diplomatically and Fighting Back! 

Thursday, September 15 at 7:45 pm at HERJC 

Insight and analysis from the corridors of power in Israel, how decisions are made and 

the personalities of those who make them. ALSO: How can ordinary citizens influence

CHILDREN’S SERVICES 

Our Religious School students are invited to Services in the 

School Building. There are also special classrooms for chil - 

dren ages 2–4 which are supervised by Nursery School teachers. 

Children are admitted to regular Services only if accompanied 

by their parents. 

THE HERJC NEILAH 

TRADITION 

The last Service of Yom Kippur is 

called Neila, the “Service of the Clos - 

ing of the Gates.” As twilight fell on 

Biblical Jerusalem, the gates of the 

Temple were closed. Neila signals the 

end of the period of repentance and 

we are reminded to enter the Gates of 

Repentance before it is too late. Con - 

gre gants are invited to come up on 

the Bima while the Ark is open, for a 

short, personal prayer. The service 

ends with one mighty blast of the 

Shofar. Bring your Shofar and join us. 

HAVE SHOFAR, WILL TRAVEL

is encouraged to call the office, 599-2634, so that we can 

arrange for one of our Shofar Blowers to come to your home 

after Services. 

SPECIAL SEATING REQUESTS

SYNAGOGUE DECORUM 

Smoking is not permitted anywhere on HERJC property. 

Please do not bring electronic devices of any kind into

USHERING 

Our High Holiday Services are a time of both spiritual

have the important role of helping to create a welcoming 

atmosphere while insuring the security and decorum of 

services for nearly 2,000 people and we treat them with the 

utmost respect. If you would like to aid in this important 

task, please call 599-2634. 

SECURITY 

The safety of our Congregation is our first concern. Please 

be sure to keep your ticket with you at all times. Your ticket

Sisterhood News 

LAURIE STONE BROFSKY 

Are you thinking what I used to 

think? Well, think again—this is 

NOT your Bubbe’s Sisterhood! 

We’ll remain relevant to members of 

our congregation, young and not so 

young, as we transition through life 

as Jewish women in the 21st century. 

After all, so many of the things 

we’ll do are intergenerational— 

they cut across time and age and continue to bind us 

together. Like preparing for holidays. Reading and discussing 

books. Making head coverings. Knitting. And 

playing mah jongg, too. Isn’t it amazing how these 

oldies but goodies are on the popular pastime list for 

everyone now?! 

Our Sisterhood won’t confine ourselves to the things 

we were “allowed” to do or simply to the traditional 

things women used to do. This year, we will do what 

only WE can do—provide programming to educate and 

empower WOMEN, be that in financial planning or 

Torah study—with, of course, a women’s perspective! 

As far as we have gotten in society, women still have a 

long way to go, here and everywhere. We need to help 

each other get there, to realize our potential, our worth. 

Yes, Sisterhood is synonymous with women’s issues; 

we’ll bring programs and lectures toward this end. But 

remember, too, that women’s issues manifest themselves 

during book discussions, around the mah jongg 

tables, while creating head coverings, and in the course 

of collecting warm clothing and delivering necessities 

to the food pantry. And as we work and play together, 

we learn from each other. Sisterhood serves as the support 

for women as they transition from home to work 

to home again—daily or over a lifetime—providing 

intellectual stimulations as well as recreation. 

This is an exciting year for our Synagogue and an 

exciting time for Sisterhood as well. Look for our membership 

information in the mail and join us. Participate 

in any or all of our varied programs and activities 

designed with women in mind. Know that together we 

will grow with, learn from, play alongside and provide 

support for each other. 

L’Shanah Tovah. To a fantastic year! 

Don’t Let Your College Kids Miss Out on Hanukkah and Passover Packages!

our jewish future 

nursery school 

CHERYL KARP 

Welcome back! When my children 

were younger, I watched a TV show 

with them that they loved and I 

thought gave wonderful messages in 

appropriate and non-threatening 

ways. I would not have watched this 

show on my own; however it was 

great for kids and starred a huge, 

purple dinosaur. Some of my friends 

commented that I was letting my children watch a show 

that was too childish! Imagine that! 

This was bad enough until my oldest daughter came 

home from kindergarten crying. She loved Curious 

George, and one of the kids said Curious George was 

for babies. My heartbroken daughter almost gave up on 

George but finally realized it was okay to like something 

different than others. 

I was saddened by that child’s reaction and worried 

about a dangerous trend in our country: Children today 

are far more sophisticated than in the past. They are ex - 

posed to more sexual and violent images, and more news 

of terror and hate than any generation before them. 

Children today are also pushed harder academically. 

Recess is given away to more reading and writing classes, 

even though there is evidence that children who are 

forced into intellectual activities for which their brains 

are not ready, and denied outlets for free play, become 

adults who are insecure, lack imagination, and are not 

anymore successful in life than those who went through 

their childhoods in an age appropriate manner. A rather 

disturbing article appeared in the New York Times last 

May which discussed the inappropriateness of tutoring 

three-year-olds so they would “make” the proper city 

schools. We are causing stress among our children and 

insecurity among our parents. 

The Book of Genesis and Rashi, one of the greatest of 

Biblical commentators, have great insight into this 

dilemma. According to the story, when God created 

Adam and Eve, God put them in the Garden of Eden 

and told them they could eat anything they wanted in 

the garden except the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge 

of Good and Evil. They do eat the fruit and are expelled. 

Was God setting them up for failure? According to 

Rashi, God did intend for them to eat of the tree but 

only when they were ready. Adam and Eve acquired 

knowledge of good and evil much too early in their 

development. While they learned there was good and 

evil in the world, they lacked the ability to determine 

which was good and which was evil. They had a lot of 

information but no way of processing it. 

We are seeing increases in levels of children with 

behavioral and learning issues. Perhaps it is because 

researchers are paying more attention to children in 

general. Or perhaps it is a result of not letting children 

be children. A child is not merely an unfinished adult. A 

child is a unique being with his or hers own needs 

which do not necessarily conform to adult expectations. 

Unfortunately, in our society, hundreds of children live 

in great poverty and have great difficulty keeping up in 

school. Even in wealthy families, children are left alone 

for hours with no adult supervision with predictable 

results. Media is filled with language that would make 

the average person blush. Schools stress academic 

achievement over imagination and slow and steady 

growth. People without children should be equally concerned. 

This is the generation that is going to lead us 

one day, or perhaps not, depending on what kind of 

adults they become. We need to find a way to celebrate 

childhood, not treat it like a liability. Every child 

deserves a real and safe childhood. It is a gift that if 

taken away, is gone forever. 

Thank you for entrusting your child to us. We look 

forward to a year in a safe, healthy environment where 

your children can enjoy their childhood and grow at 

their own pace.

Top Ten Reasons to Join 

the HERJC Youth Circus 

10. The 3 rings of our circus are USY, Kadima, and Pizza Plus! 

9. Just like the circus travels all over the country we offer a summer 

program that travels from the east to west coast 

8. Some circuses travel around the world –our circus can travel to 

Israel, and Eastern Europe 

7. Some circuses open the doors early so you can view the animals, 

try the trapeze, unicycles and juggle. Our doors are always open - come down anytime 

to try our great programs 

6. Just like the variety of circus acts, we offer a multitude of program to participate in, 

such as sports, arts and crafts, social action and tikun olam events, Israeli programs 

and just plain fun! 

5. Just like the animals have trainers to train them, the terrific youth leaders and staff 

will train you in leadership skills that are so needed in the future 

4. The circus is fun for all ages so come down and find the group that’s best for you 

3. Some circuses offer a side show - our side show would be our divisional kinnusim, 

dances, conventions and many other divisional and regional events 

2. Just as in the circus, you can find food and snacks at each event 

And the number 1 reason to join HERJC Youth Group . . .

DAVID WOOLFE 

Whew, that was one hot summer! I hope you and your family 

managed to enjoy a fun, healthy summer while not getting too overheated. 

Before the next Hakol, I’m sure we will all find ourselves 

bemoaning the cold weather and longing for next summer. But 

before we get too far ahead of ourselves . . . we are all excited to begin 

another year at our award-winning HERJC Religious School, welcoming 

students and families who are new to our school and synagogue—and 

students who know their way around like old pros! 

Our Building Blocks program continues to be an incredible success. 

Morah Robin, along with Morah Uli and Morah Nancy, look forward to another 

wonderful year with our youngest students. Our Alef class can look forward to a great 

year with Morah Gila. Morah Rebecca is already elbow-deep in her planning for a successful 

year with her students. Morah Nancy is conjuring new games to make learning 

fun and exciting for her students. 

Morah Hely and I are looking forward to another fantastic year with our Akiva 

students. 

Mr. Plotkin is honing his fantastic story-telling skills for his Vav students and so he 

can share with our students the weekly parashot and wonder of the Torah narrative. 

Speaking of the Torah, this year will be a singular one for our students and families 

at HERJC. This year is the “Year of Torah” at HERJC. The process of having a new Torah 

written for our synagogue will involve many learning opportunities for our students 

and their families. The Torah scribe will be with our students at various times during 

the year. In addition, the school will have a number of events and lessons to reinforce 

the power and lessons of the Torah. 

It is an incredible honor to be part of a congregation as it receives a new Torah. 

I urge all of you to actively participate in this exciting synagogue experience as much 

as possible—both in the school and synagogue itself. This is our Torah—in every sense. 

Let’s embrace it together! 

Finally, I am looking forward to a fantastic 8th grade program this year. I will be 

teaching a brilliant curriculum that is structured around the Shoah and Israel. I believe 

that this will be the year we establish a very successful post-Bar/Bat Mitzvah educational 

program that we will continue to build upon. 

From strength to strength. Shanah tovah to all. May we all be inscribed in the Book 

of Life for a year of health, happiness and community. 

I’m looking forward to enthusiastically shaloming all of you once again soon!
