I am reminded that it is not the chairs, but the people who sit in t h em The evening before Rosh Hashanah and t h e m o r n i n g f o l l o w i n g Yom Kippur those people u n f o l d e d and f o l d e d , u n s t a c k e d and s t a c k e d the w h i t e chairs, t o o k down t h e bima and y e l l ow c h a i r s and put back the bima and y e l l ow chairs and unpacked and r e p a c k e d the books in under one hour. The people who sit in t h o s e chairs are t h e same people who are r e s p o n s i b l e for making sure the h o l i d a y s were t h e most b e a u t i f u l for t h e e n t i r e c o n g r e g a t i o n . They are t h e members who shared s e r v i c e s together, who answered the early pledge call and who p a r t i c i p a t e d in p l e d g i n g on Kol Nidre n i g h t . There are t h o s e who a c c e p t e d honors and t h o s e who d e c l i n e d honors so that o t h e r s c o u l d have them. There are members who prepared Torah r e a d i n g s and those who led parts of t h e s e r v i c e . Some of t h e chair s i t t e r s w r i t e notes of a p p r e c i a t i o n . Some send notes of c o n c e r n and want t o point out a p r o b l em or offer a s o l u t i o n . The people who sit in t h e chairs are a t a l e n t e d and w i l l i n g congregation! And what a month it has been for others who sit in our chairs. Seven f a m i l i e s have s u f f e r e d a l o s s of a f a m i l y member; o t h e r s have been ill or have had surgery. Many s t e p p e d f o r w a r d to f i l l in f o r t h o s e who had c o m m i t t e d to help but were faced w i t h personal emergencies d u r i n g t h e past month. Many j o i n e d t o g e t h e r to offer s t r e n g t h to t h o s e who needed it most. They sit in t h e chairs t o o . I was most pleased f o r f i n d that some of the c h a i r s had been moved t o provide an a i s l e for s t r o l l e r s . Those c h i l d r e n w i l l need a chair in t h e years t o come. And t h e n there were t h o s e who never sat in a c h a i r . . . n o t for any of t h e holidays. A s p e c i a l thank you t o Isabel Goldberg and her committee, t o Steven Eisen and t h e ushers (all of who received s p e c i a l i n s t r u c t i o n s on t h e i m p o r t a n c e of ushering) and t o Mark G o l d s t e i n , Janet Stein, Alan Roselinsky, Ira Goldberg and Andy Eisen.

But as we c o n t i n u e to grow as a congregation, the unfortunate reality is that we will lose some of our members and their family. One of the greatest mitzvot that we can p e r f o rm is called kevod hamet, honoring the dead. Honoring the dead is a hesed shel emet, an eternal act of kindness, because it is one that can never be repaid. Most Jewish communities have a hevrah kadishah, a Jewish burial society (literally, a holy society), whose sole purpose is to bring honor to the dead by t a k i n g proper care of the body until burial. Generally, the hevrah kadishah is a group of anonymous, volunteer Jewish laypeople who have been t r a i n e d in the Jewish laws of burial. Women attend to the bodies of women, and men a t t e n d to the bodies of men. The hevrah kadishah is responsible for tahara, which l i t e r a l l y means " p u r i f i c a t i o n . " Tahara usually c o n s i s t s of a ceremonial washing of the body, dressing the deceased in tachrichim (shrouds), and placing the body in the c o f f i n . The r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s of the hevrah kadishah can also include providing shomrim, guarding of the body until the funeral, usually by r e c i t i n g psalms. Some hevrah kadishah also extend themselves to the g r i e v i n g family, by making sure shiva arrangements are taken care of such as providing f o o d and a minyan for prayer services. Recently, a Midbar Kodesh member requested a tahara for a family member, and we were unable to provide this final mitzvah for her. We did not have a hevrah kadishah in place to take of women who had passed away. As a result, we have a pressing need in the community. In Las Vegas, the Orthodox community has a small group of people who attend to Jewish burial needs. Our Conservative f r i e n d s , the members of Temple Beth Sholom, have now begun a hevrah kadishah of their own. Rabbi Goodman and I would like our congregations to work together in f o r m i n g a u n i f i ed Conservative hevrah kadishah in Las Vegas. While this beautiful mitzvah is not for everyone, those who have p a r t i c i p a t e d in a hevrah kadishah have said that it is one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of their lives. I strongly believe it is time for Midbar Kodesh to help f o rm a vibrant hevrah kadishah for our community. If you are i n t e r e s t e d or possibly i n t e r e s t e d in any aspect of the hevrah kadishah, please speak with me privately. Once we have formed a v i a b l e group, we will have a study and t r a i n i n g session for all p a r t i c i p a n t s . Creating a hevrah kadishah is the u l t i m a t e mitzvah of love--and we need your help. ~ Rabbi Jeremy Wiederhorn 0 ' ? " y * * R j s h o n le- A - r . q ? e r t # ^ JUDEA' ??/ k'K/' {Jetlfniting.
