“NO ADMITTANCE”
A story is told about the High Holy Days entitled “No Admittance.”
One Yom Kippur, a ticket-taker at a Brooklyn house of worship was
confronted by a Jewish man with no ticket who pleaded to be
allowed to enter.
“No ticket, no admission,” the guard said, firmly.
“But I’ve got to see my partner, Sherman, in the fourth row,” insisted the man.
“It’s urgent.”
“For the last time,” said the guard, “I’m telling you, no ticket, no admission to
this synagogue!”
“But it’s a business matter,” persisted the man. “I’ll just be a minute I swear to
you…just a minute.”
“Well, if it’s a business matter,” said the guard, finally weakening, “I’ll let you in
for a minute…But remember---NO PRAYING!”
As I look back on this past year, I had absolutely no idea that I would become
President of B’nai Zion; an honor I take seriously for the rich history of our synagogue
is truly inspirational. While new to B’nai Zion, its past is something I wish to honor
during my tenure. It is a pleasure being associated with the many talented and
dedicated people at BZ, from Rabbi Tendler, Jason Cathcart, the industrious staff and
volunteers, the Board of Directors, to all of you who work diligently to provide for the
spiritual and educational experiences that are cherished by the members of B’nai
Zion.
As we are keenly aware, that privilege, however, comes with a commitment and
obligation. Since B’nai Zion does not make a Kol Nidre appeal, as many synagogues
do, I would be remiss if I did not ask you to consider how you can best contribute to
the continued growth and ensure the future of our warm and welcoming synagogue.
The synagogue has many needs, but with your continued financial support and spirit
of volunteerism, we will all continue to enjoy the many religious services, programs,
and educational opportunities the years ahead promise to offer. So, on behalf of
B’nai Zion, I welcome everyone to come, participate and enjoy all that awaits you at
BZ.
And unlike the “No Admittance” ticket-taker above, BZ’s High Holy Days
greeters will be there to warmly welcome you and your guests to our services. It is my
hope that during the High Holy Days you have a memorable, religious, and spiritual
experience, filled with prayer and personal reflection.
L'shanah tovah tikatev v'taihatemt, “may you be inscribed and sealed for a
good year.” �

BZ Voice September 2014 3
Recently I have found myself thinking about time. Proudly,
I have just embarked upon the beginning of my third year as
your rabbi. But more noticeably I realize that I literally have
been looking up to many of our young teens who were, I am
certain, a good bit shorter than I when I first arrived in
town. Where does the time go and how does it all move so
quickly I ponder?
As I write this, I am in my grandparent’s apartment in Florida—I grew up
coming here annually and by college more often. By the time I was pregnant with
Hannah Sofia, I visited every 3 months. At sunset Ross and I walked along the
beach just around the way, behind my Aunt Sophie’s (for whom Hannah Sofia
received her middle name), the moon was robust and full, with the smiling face of
the man in the moon gracing the evening sky. We paused to admire its beauty and
realized that indeed today (the 15th of Av) is “love day” on the Jewish calendar—a
week after the lowest point in our year. Here the moon is bright, promising, full of
potential. The Hebrew word for month slipped into my consciousness—“hodesh”
which connotes newness and renewal as well as time.
It is not in the Hebrew month of Av alone that we have the ups and downs like
the waxing and waning of the moon. Throughout our long history, our people have
continuously encountered glorious heights followed by devastating lows and again,
been raised up. Indeed, the Jewish people have been through it all and the moon
serves as our beacon in the sky-- constant reminder that there is always renewal, that
the future will indeed be brighter than the present and even the past. As it says in
the blessings for the new moon, Kiddush levanah “…Those [the Jewish people] who
are destined to renew themselves like it [the moon]. . ." When the world seems to be
against us and everything goes wrong, as a people and as individuals, rather than lose
faith, we bolster ourselves acknowledging that it is part of life, knowing we must find
the strength from within to change/transform these lows into highs, the bad into
good, finding new potential within.
And the years just like the months, not only mark time, but share with us a
deeper meaning underlying our people’s understanding of the world and the way it
works. For a year--shanah, which binds together our collective new experiences,
reminds us to review them as a collection of 11 (Hebrew months) or 12 (Gregorian
calendar months) and realize the very potential within each and everyone of us for
change inherent in the Hebrew word. You see, “shanah” not only means “year” but
“repeat” and “change” as if to confirm that we should change year after year and
throughout the year. As the months and the years pass us by, as individuals and as a
people we innately seek to transform our journeys of time to opportunities for
growth and renewal. Rather than let time pass us by, to utilize these benchmarks as
vehicles for recognizing our accomplishments and simultaneously giving us faith for
the future.
With the high holidays upon us the message of the moon could not be more
clear. As we sit in services, I pray that you will be open to transformation, to a new
message, to a renewed faith and optimism open, to enabling your inner most essence
to shine brightly the way the moon illumines the vast, dark sky.
Wishing you and your families a renewed and transformative, radiant year full
of good health, fond memories, and the promise of both peace and potential!
Shanah tova (happy new year)! �
Message from Our Rabbi by Rabbi Susan Tendler
Devin Alexander Kodsi will be called to
the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah at B'nai
Zion on September 13th. Devin is the
son of Matthew and Angela Kodsi and
brother to Jessica Kodsi. He is the
grandson of Joseph and Marilee Kodsi
of Signal Mountain and Jimmy and
Alice Benson of Clayton, NC. Devin is
a seventh grader at Signal Mountain
Middle School, where he has received
awards in Band and Science and is on
the Cross Country Team. Devin is
never satisfied with anything less than
his best. This is reflected in his grades
at school as well as in the quality of his
work on Boy Scout projects and with
the Chattanooga Boys Choir. Devin
has completed more than half the Boy
Scout ranks required to become an
Eagle Scout. He has sung in the
Chattanooga Boys Choir since 2010.
He toured with the Choir in North
Carolina this Summer and looks
forward to visiting the Kentucky Derby,
Indianapolis 500, and Chicago on tour
next year. Devin attended Camp
Ramah for two years, where he was able
to strengthen both his understanding
of what it means to be Jewish and his
ability to read and to chant Hebrew.
Like his father, Devin loves going to
Walt Disney World where he spends
most of his time looking for "hidden
Mickeys". For his Bar Mitzvah project,
Devin is planning to share his love of
music with students throughout
Hamilton county by taking donations
to purchase music equipment for
Hamilton County Schools.
The Kodsi family looks forward to
sharing the joy of Devin's Bar Mitzvah
with family and friends, with a kiddush
luncheon to follow. �

Message from Our Director of Congregational Learning by Jason Cathcart
The Tastes of Rosh HaShanah
As the High Holy Days draw near every year, there is
one question that must always be asked: What should
we eat? It seems like a trivial question, but it is rooted
deep in our Jewish roots. Food is tied so closely to all of
our holiday observances: the Pesach Seder, cheesecake
during Shavuot, latkes for Chanukah, hamentaschen at
Purim, the list could go on and on. Some of my fondest
childhood memories are gathering with friends and
family to bring in the new year. My mom is well known
for her chopped liver and it doesn’t feel like Rosh
HaShanah unless those flavors have graced my mouth.
However, there are wonderful, more traditional foods
that are mainstays at our holiday tables.
We dip apples in honey and wish each other a sweet
new year. This year, after you make the bracha, invite
anyone around your table to share a wish that would
help to deliver that sweet new year. You also could
share some of the sweet things that have happened in
the year that has just ended.
Our round challah that we eat helps us remember that
the year goes around in a circle. It’s never ending, we
simply flow back into the cycle of our lives and continue
celebrating. After blessing the challah would be an
perfect time to share some of your favorite times of the
year. It could be holidays, celebrations, family events,
even something as simple as seeing the first blooms of
the crepe myrtles.
The pomegranate is not always found on our holiday
table, but is an excellent one to include. The
pomegranate is said to have 613 seeds that reminds us of
the 613 mitzvot (commandments) in the Torah. As you
eat the seeds of the pomegranate this year, think and
share what mitzvot you might be interested fulfilling in
your lives this year? How can you make Torah personal
for your lives?
By connecting actions to our eating rituals, we change
the way we think about Judaism and our personal
relationship with our faith. I wish you and your families
a Shana Tova u’Metuka, a happy and sweet New Year!

NEILAH - We will continue the
custom of having individual and
family time to pray before the open
ark during the cantor’s repetition of
the Amidah. If you are interested in
this opportunity to approach the ark
please plan to arrive before services
on Saturday evening and after the
kedushah we will invite individuals
and families to approach from the
rabbis’ side of the bimah. We pray
this ritual will be incredibly powerful.
