A Message from our President, Josh Gordon<br />

As this will be my last <strong>GATEWAYS</strong> article, I wanted to start with a thank you. Thank you<br />

to each individual in the community for your support, for your action, for your<br />

volunteerism, for your concern, and for your care for Shaarey Tikvah. I have learned<br />

much. Gratefully, I think that I have grown in many ways as well. There are decisions<br />

of which I am proud, and some that I wish were made differently. I can say without<br />

reservation that they were all made with the best of intentions for the community as a<br />

whole. We have tried to facilitate connection through virtual programming, streaming<br />

services, zoom services, in-person worship, outdoor gatherings. We have made<br />

cocktails, tasted chocolate, provided learning opportunities on a wide range of social<br />

issues, learned from Jewish scholars from across this country, and have thus far led<br />

the way to a return to in-person services.<br />

And still, I know that the many challenges of these past two years have left many<br />

feeling disconnected. I was recently inspired by the words of Rabbi David Wolpe who<br />

pointed out that our history can be neatly summarized by a single word…. Return.<br />

Throughout our history we return from plagues, from oppression, from exile. It is now<br />

time to return. It is time to return to the warm embrace of each other’s company. It is<br />

time to return to the healing power of prayer. It is time to return to the inspiration of<br />

study. I recognize that process will look different for different people. Whether through<br />

your computer screen, at an outdoor gathering, or in our holy sanctuary, please know<br />

that the community will try to meet you wherever possible to try to return.<br />

In service and peace,<br />

Josh<br />

HaZak Lunch brought some friends back together!<br />

Special thanks to John Siff and Rabbi Roland for<br />

organizing. Join us again June 24!<br />

A Message from Martha Sivertson, Executive Director<br />

Hello Sports Fans!<br />

I was going to write about something more mundane this month but, in honor of Father’s Day and<br />

because I had the pleasure of visiting the Cleveland Area Soap Box Derby (CASBD) grounds this past<br />

weekend, I thought I’d let you know what is really on my mind.<br />

For a few years now, I have thought about our CST driveway as having the perfect slope to have soap box<br />

cars meander down. Well, it is not, but that’s okay because the perfect slope is still right here in Cleveland!<br />

With a shot-in-the-dark e-mail through the CASBD website, Joe Mendise invited me to attend a<br />

“rally” on a Saturday morning.<br />

Of course, I missed the exit off of Route 2 going west but that led me on the back roads to Wendy Park<br />

where 20-30 people were on various bird-watching walks. I saw a deerkill and a seagull myself but that<br />

was not what I came for so, with a little re-working, I got back on Rte. 2, rounded my way through Gordon<br />

Square, made at least one illegal turn and found the entrance. Had I taken the correct exit to begin with, I<br />

would have been right there, no problem<br />

Anyway, it was cold and windy with a threat of rain but that did not dampen<br />

the spirits of the drivers and parents present. Joe was the perfect host,<br />

showing me around the pits (though they do call them that) and giving me<br />

some history. Kind of like Shaarey Tikvah starting above the Tasty Shop<br />

Bakery, the CASBD started on some sloped streets in Cleveland neighborhoods.<br />

It wasn’t until Mayor Michael White officially dedicated the land that<br />

they got their home alongside the Westbound lane of the Shoreway on<br />

Whiskey Island.<br />

Participation in Soap Box competitions can get a little steep with car kits running from $300 to thousands<br />

of dollars. Boys and girls are so into both the competition and the camaraderie though, that parents<br />

seem to take it in stride. Joe, himself, has two daughters that aged out (18) of Soap Box but he maintains<br />

a seat on the CASBD Board and his wife and daughters were running the schedules and minding the<br />

track while I was there. A real Family Affair!<br />

The CASBD has invited Shaarey Tikvah to attend a rally or competition anytime. However, the better<br />

suggestion from Joe was to make a CST Family Day out of it. The CASBD is always looking for more drivers<br />

and even has cars our kids can try out. Stay tuned for a fun summer Sunday afternoon soon.<br />

Martha<br />

A Message from Rabbi Scott Roland<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

With Shavuot behind us and a taste of the first hot days of the season, it is only a matter of time<br />

before we start focusing on the work of the High Holy Day season. But first, SUMMER! In the UK,<br />

summer break is referred to as “The Long Vacation.” Following suit, Israeli’s have “The Big<br />

Vacation,” or Ha-hofesh Ha-gadol. As a brief aside, I’ve read that some parents refer to summer<br />

break as, Ha-onesh Ha-gadol, or “The Big Punishment” as they struggle with the responsibility of filling<br />

all of their children’s time in absence of school.<br />

However, I think there is much more to learn from<br />

Ha-hofesh Ha-gadol. At its root, het/peh/shin<br />

means freedom or liberty. As summer begins,<br />

whether real or perceived, there is a sense of<br />

freedom. Perhaps it means the freedom to<br />

transform ourselves as the spring has transformed<br />

the world around us. The sudden abundance of<br />

daylight hours gives us the sense of having more<br />

time. In my family, that means leisurely dinners on<br />

the back patio, camping adventures, and patiently<br />

waiting for our garden to grow.<br />

What would it mean to give greater intention to this free feeling? This question seems more relevant<br />

as we slowly creep back toward “normal” at this point in the pandemic. What if we take pause<br />

before jumping back into our old routines and allow ourselves to imagine living in alignment with the<br />

priorities of our hearts and souls? I am reminded of the words of Psalm 16, “Teach me the path of<br />

life. In Your presence is perfect joy; delights are ever in Your right hand.”<br />

Not at all etymologically related to hofesh is the root het/peh/sin. By moving one little dot over the<br />

last letter of the root, freedom takes on the meaning of seeking or disguising. I have long considered<br />

that a meaningful spiritual life is a bit of a game of hide and seek with the Holy One. This image not<br />

only delights me as I imagine a playful God, but also brings me back to games of flashlight tag with<br />

neighborhood friends on summer nights. We can find so much joy when it feels like time is on our<br />

side.<br />

I wish you a summer of long days and peaceful nights. I pray that you embrace the sense of freedom<br />

and use your time wisely. I hope that you find what it is that you are seeking. Who knows? Maybe I’ll<br />

even find you in shul!?<br />

With much love and blessing,<br />

Rabbi Scott B. Roland<br />

A Message from Rabbi Rachel Brown, Director of Congregational Learning<br />

Summer is just about upon us! In my mind, summer is the time for a sabbatical of sorts. The Torah tells<br />

us what is supposed to happen during a sabbatical. The sabbatical that comes once a week – Shabbat<br />

– invites us to rest, to pray, to study, to eat well, and to be with people we love. The sabbatical that<br />

comes once every seven years – shmita – is a sabbatical for the land. It is a time for the land to have a<br />

break from intense farming. By extension, it is a time for farmers to take a break from tilling, planting<br />

and sowing, weeding, and harvesting – in other words, a break from intense farming.<br />

It is easy to imagine that the break that is a sabbatical is a time of dormancy – on the surface, nothing<br />

is happening. But as a Jewish educator who has taught in classrooms during the school-year and at<br />

summer camp, I can tell you that during break time is when a lot of intense learning happens. By<br />

taking a break from figuring out how to get through the day – how to finish a task, or pass a test, or<br />

squeeze all the chores in after working all day – there is time to ruminate, to wonder, to daydream, to<br />

just be. During those times one can learn, or be reminded about their own true essence, or figure out<br />

what is really important to live a satisfying life, or even simply find out what it’s like to feel rested.<br />

I hope that you are able to take some time this summer to rest, to take a break, to have some sort of<br />

sabbatical from the stress of this past year, to learn something new about yourself. And I look forward<br />

to being together again (hopefully in person) later this summer – to learn and to celebrate together<br />

again.<br />

Rabbi Rachel Brown<br />

Special Thanks to all who organized and attended this year’s Shabbaton<br />
