Rabbi Anthony Fratello

During our recent Meditation Walk, I brought for the

participants copies of the Personal Prayer of Mar, son

of Ravina. Most of you will not recognize that name,

or know what this is, but each of you has heard the

words before. “May the words of my mouth and the

meditations of my heart be acceptable to you, O God,

my rock and my redeemer.” Those words, which

Cantor frequently chants at the end of our Silent

Meditation, are from the Personal Prayer of Mar, son

of Ravina.

It turns out that there are many similar prayers, all of

which can be found in the Talmud. Why Mar’s was

chosen over any other I cannot say, perhaps because

it speaks to us of many things. Our commitments to

God as well as God’s promise to us. The needs we

have to fulfill what we are commanded to do, and the

desire that others should treat us fairly and equitably.

The prayer begins by asking that our “Tongue be

kept from evil and our lips from deceitful speech,”

and it ends with a supplication for peace.

I chose these texts to study because it fascinated me

that the sages of old composed words that they would

use over and over again—every time that they ended

their prayer. "How quaint,” I thought. I wonder why

we do not do the same thing today. And then it hit

me; we do. Maybe we aren’t as formal as the sages

of old, taking time to write out long hand what we

might say to God, but surely we use similar words,

thoughts, and ideas when we pray. And here I am

not talking about what is written in the prayer book. I

am talking about what pours out of our souls when

we are in need, in doubt, when our hearts are filled

with sadness or with joy. In thinking about my own

prayer I can tell you that there are certain things I say

to God all the time. Most of my words are similar to

yours, and then again, some of them are surely

unique to me.

Prayer is for us, or should be, an active process. We

are supposed to practice and be engaged in our

prayer. We are supposed to think about the words

we are saying and what they mean. Admittedly, this

is a lofty goal, sometimes we can realize it, and

sometimes we cannot.

I will give to you the exercise I gave to the group on

our last walk. Take some time, pause, and think:

what is YOUR Personal Prayer? What words do you

say to God? What needs, longings, desires do you

express? And, having asked that, now pause and ask

yourself, "What you are doing to make them real?"

Living in Palm Beach County, we are very fortunate

to part of a vibrant Jewish Community. As the

education director, I participate in the Educator’s

Council at the Friedman Commission of Jewish

Education. This affords me the opportunity to meet

with the other Directors of the various synagogue

schools throughout the county. We study together,

share best practices, and sometimes collaborate on

educational opportunities, so that we can offer

exciting programs.

This year, our 6th graders are fortunate to be the

beneficiaries of this collaboration. They are

participating in a program called, We See Palm

Beach: Gazing Through Our Lens. Yaara Levy, our

new Israeli emissary at the Federation of Palm Beach,

is spearheading this program. It is modeled after Hu-

mans of Tel Aviv, a project by Israeli photojournalist

Erez Kaganovitz that illustrates the cultural diversity

of Tel Aviv through images of different people. We

are especially excited because this exhibit is coming

to our community this year, and Mr. Kaganovitz will

also be visiting with us in February.

The goal of this project is for the 6th graders to

explore their own identities and then to create a

similar exhibit. They are working with the 6th graders

from B'Yachad, the Community Religious School for

Temple Torat Emet and Temple Beth Tikvah. This

project is being done simultaneously by 6th graders

throughout the county and will culminate in an

exhibit for family and friends sometime in the spring.

During January, we will celebrate the holiday of Tu

B’Shevat - which is often referred to as the birthday

of Trees. Although most of the USA will be in the

middle of winter, in Israel you can see the Almond

Trees, the earliest bloomers, begin to flower.

Learning about Tu B’shevat is a wonderful way for

our students to learn about the land of Israel. Some of

our students, the 5th grade and the Tichon/HS class,

are also involved in twinning projects with students

from our partnership region, Tzahar, located in the

north of Israel. Throughout the year, they exchange

letters and work together remotely on projects. This

allows them to develop personal relationships with

Israelis and helps to broaden their understanding of

Israel.

We will return to Religious School on Sunday,

January 6th after the winter break. Our 6th graders

will be heading to the Loxahatchee Nature Reserve

for the B’nai Mitzvah Retreat. Please join us on

Friday, January 11, when the Fourth Grade will lead

in is the Intergenerational Shabbat Worship. Remind-

er to 7th graders that we have a trip to the Holocaust

Memorial on Sunday, 1/27/19.

Wishing you all a Wonderful 2019!

My project was with Operation Gratitude. Operation

Gratitude sends care packages to Veterans, First

Responders, New Recruits, Wounded Heroes, their Care

Givers, and to individually named U.S. service members

deployed overseas and their families waiting at home. I

was able to write letters to soldiers and veterans thanking

them for their services and sacrifices. I also have

additional care packages planned to send with requested

necessities. Being a part of this made me feel good and

helpful. I feel that it is important to share our

appreciation for all that they do and have done to keep us

safe.

We know that for Judaism to be whole, to be holy, it requires each of its pillars: Torah, Avodah, and Gemilut Chasadim (loving

kindness). But what exactly is Avodah?

Avodah is the Hebrew word for work AND it is the same word that is used for prayer. To me, Avodah connotes service (It is also

the word for slavery, which is involuntary service). Work is not only a necessary part of life, it is a form of service to the world, to

the rest of humanity, and to God. So often we think of worship as something we do on Friday nights or Saturday morning, and work

as something we do during the weekdays. This dichotomy does not have to exist if we keep in mind that both work and worship

have the same foundation, the same root. In fact, the various usages of this Hebrew word found first in Genesis 2:15 tell us that

God’s original plan was that our work and our worship would be a seamless way of living. In other words, Avodah suggests that

our work can be a form of worship where we honor God and serve others.

Throughout history, wise men and women agree that the purpose of life is to serve others. Martin Luther King, Jr. once declared,

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others?” Mahatma Gandhi opined, “The best way to find

yourself is to lose yourself in service to others.” Rabbi Tar'fon (first century), when discussing the world’s problems, commented,

“The work is not upon you to complete, but neither are you exempt from trying.”

Serving people through community service shows others that there is someone who does care for them and has respect for their

needs without any selfishness. This can empower individuals, strengthen communities, bridge barriers, and create solutions to

social problems. But, volunteering isn't always fun -- there is usually time, energy and even money involved -- but it is always

meaningful and gratifying.

What will you do in 2019 to serve others? How will you integrate work and worship into a meaningful blend? Perhaps you will

register to volunteer at one of the many service opportunities throughout the community on January 21 for MLK Day of Service;

Maybe you will join the TSS team on January 26 at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure; Possibly you will mentor a child or visit

the infirmed. Need some more ideas? Contact me, Holly Bromer at Socialaction@tempeshaareishalom.com.

Who do you think you are?

Did you ever watch this TV show?

Has it made you curious about your family history, roots or your

Jewish identity?

Do you eat latkes with applesauce or sour cream? Do you realize

from in the olde country?

Were you aware that the JGSPBCI has a presence at TSS?
