Richmond Beth-El Cemetery Company, Inc.

Cemetery ServicesSunday, October 6, 2019 | 10:30 amParellel services at 2 locations:Richmond Beth-El Cemetery at Forest Lawn B’nai Shalom Cemetery at Greenwood Memorial Gar-densEach year the Richmond Beth-El Cemetery Company, Inc. has a Cem-etery Service the Sunday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Throughout our lives the example our loved ones modeled for us, good or bad, simple or complex, shape our lives forever. Even when they are no longer on this earthly plane, the need to connect, remember, and honor them lives on. One of the many ways we can express that need is through participation in Kever Avot services.

Kever Avot v’lmahot (literally, the Graves of our patri-arch and matriarch) is a service honoring our departed loved ones and their memories. Historically, Kever Avot was a superstitious occasion when Jews would take ad-vantage of the auspicious timing before Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, when the Book of Life was open and God’s judgment was open to argument, to ask their de-parted loved ones to intercede on their behalf and make sure that their names were recorded for another year of life.

In our time, Kever Avot is not so much about soliciting heavenly intervention as about reconnecting with our person-al history and honoring those who shaped it. As we look to the future, we should acknowledge the past and our debt to it, especially to those special people who helped mold our lives; who helped make us who we are.

We invite you to join us as we pray together, support one another, and honor the memory of those who have passed at our Kever Avot Memorial Services. Our services are open to all members of the community. Whether your loved ones are buried with us or far away, all are welcome.

Questions? Contact Bette Rose Webne at [email protected].

Share Your Good Fortune Please bring your non-perishable donations to the marked boxes at the Temple and school until the end of Sukkot.

Talmud: MOST Tuesdays (except Jewish & secular holidays)Led by Rabbi Emeritus Creditor 12:15 - 1:15 pm, Grove Ave. Kiddush Room, first class September 3

Talmud Class celebrates 25 Years! In 1994, Rabbi Gary Creditor offered a class in Talmud, the vast repository of Jewish knowledge and tradition created by the Bab-ylonian Jewish community. No previous experience in Rabbinic texts was necessary. The class used a vowelized edition along with an excellent English translation. Twenty people attended and the class has continued ever since. The first tractate (section) studies was Berachot, Blessings, which focuses on the creation of Jewish liturgy and its rituals. The next tractate was Megillah, The Scroll of Esther, including a commentary on the text, rituals of reading it and the observance of Purim, but also the reading of Torah and issues concerning the synagogue. The current tractate is Ta’anit, Fasts, which discusses the nexus between the moral and natural worlds, the various types of fasts and their rituals. Throughout the years every possible tangent was explored: background on the Talmud, its creation and personalities, the connection between the Talmudic text and our own times. Every question is honored and encouraged. The Talmud is not written in a linear style, thus opening many subjects, allowing insight into the Rabbinic minds that created the foundation for modern Judaism. It has been a most fascinating journey for every participant.

The class is free and open to the community, but everyone needs to acquire a book (the office assists). There is great comaraderie among the class. Everyone is warmly welcomed.

For other details or questions, please contact Rabbi Creditor through the Temple Beth-El office. We look forward to your joining our most extraordinary journey!

Chesed: KindnessThis year’s Women’s League Torah Fund pin theme of Chesed (kindness) and is circular. It features the word Chesed in Hebrew next to a small heart enclosed by three increasingly large circles in gold-plate. This design symbolizes the heart of kindness, which Jews enact in ever-widening realms of generosity: from family, to community, to the larger world; or from here to Israel. As we read in Psalm 89, may we build a world of kindness.

You can help build a world of kindness by providing financial support to the five-degree-granting seminaries of the Conserva-tive/Masorti movement, all over the world through the Torah Fund Campaign:

The Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City, New YorkThe Zeigler School of Rabbinic Studies at American Jewish University in Los Ange-les, CaliforniaSchechter Institutes for Jewish Studies in Jerusalem, IsraelSeminario Rabinico Latino Americano in Buenos Aires, ArgentinaZacharias Frankel College in Potsdam, GermanyThese institutions help preserve Jewish tradition, comprised of learning, worship and acts of kindness, made real in the world. Torah Fund doesn’t buy Torahs ever. It is a source of scholarship and programming.

Please give what you can: every gift is valued! The pin is a thank you for donations of $180+. Thank you for your generosity! Contact Marian Winer at 804-270-7898.

Family of Milton Rubin Asks Community to Donate to Fundat Temple Beth-El for Preservation of the Synagogue’s Torah Scrolls

NEW: Milton & Sarah Rubin Torah Restoration Fund For more than two decades, Milton Rubin was the gabbai at Temple Beth-El who greeted those called to the bimah for aliyot and other honors. He alerted readers, through a tap on the table, when their portion was ending, and informed the congregation of the page where each reading could be found. Milton died on August 30 at the age of 98, leaving behind his wife of 69 years, Sarah, three children, seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Judging by the crowd at his funeral and those who attended shiva, he was beloved by the community. There is now an opportunity to demonstrate that affection in a manner that would make Milton proud. “I spoke to the family, and we decided that donations to the synagogue in his honor be designated for a fund to maintain Beth-El’s seventeen Torah scrolls,” says Joel Rubin, who grew up at Beth-El but now lives in Virginia Beach, and is past president of Temple Israel in Norfolk. “Besides being the gabbai and a good friend and advisor to Rabbi Creditor, my father served on the ritual and cemetery committees. He took Talmud classes in retirement, so he really cared about Judaism and Beth-El.” “I cannot think of a better way to honor Milton's memory and Sarah than through this fund,” says Rabbi Michael Knopf. “She is a former Beth-El religious school teacher, he was our gabbai, and they both were regular attendees at Shabbat and daily minyan services. I know we will put the money to good use in assuring we have kosher Torahs for years to come.”To donate, go to bethelrichmond.org/rubinfund or call Norma at 804-355-3564 ext. 100.
