He thought for a moment and then replied, V "Jerusalem," He paused yet another moment, and added when I'm not there.. Micki, Melissa and I have just returned from Jerusalem and from tour-ing the greater part of IsraeL We were with a small group of friends who chose to make this Pilgrimage with us. We were few in number, but to-gether, we comprised a most unique minyon (quorum), if by minyon you mean a group of individuals who have bonded because of a common ex-perience ? the kind of experience that can influence your life forever. Our sincere gratitude goes out to the local travel agency Micki repre-sents ? Carlson Wagonlit-Five Star Travel; and most particularly, to IS-RAM Tours of IsraeL By the time of travel we had lost a third of our original group; but ISRAM still provided us with our own bus, driver, guide and an overall "private" package usually granted only to much larger groups. We have made a commitment to alternate pilgrimages to Israel and to tours of Jewish Heritage in Europe, annually. It was an 11-day tour. And yet, when we returned, we felt as if we had never left. It became a surrealistic dream, a vision that came to us through the grace of G-d! Perhaps, that's what Elie Weisel meant when he talked about the gift of memory elevating an experience beyond the reality of it. No matter how many times you go, Jerusalem becomes an idealized ex-perience, which is better longed for or remembered than actually lived "If I forget thee O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget it's cunning; let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not," pro-claimed a poet of our people as he sat and wept by the rivers of Babylon. Jerusalem ? Israel ? is an aspiration of the Jew of the Golah (exile). It represents our fondest dreams, our greatest longing to become physically and spiritualty whole again, very much as we imagined it to be in the be- ginning. A look at history reminds us that the City of David never lived up to our dreams or our memories of it. It has always been "Something More" than it actu-ally was. Rather than our idealized picture, Jerusalem has remained a place of strife, intrigue, factionalism, misplaced priority and of war. And it doesn't matter whether you're referring to just Jews or to the various World Religions and Peoples who have laid both Spiritual and Political claim to Jerusalem at one time or another. It may be that the very ideas and aspirations that Jerusalem represents is the very cause of her woes: we speak in terms of Peace and Harmony in our words. All great religions aspire to it We speak of love, un-derstanding and tolerance. All religions affirm i t Yet, we fail to understand that no one religion or people or nation possesses the Whole Truth by itself. G-d had made many covenants knowing that the gift of Free Will mandates multiple expressions of the same basic truths. These individual truths are all part of the same puzzle, part of an all encompassing Divine Plan. They are not meant to be at odds with one another, but to be in sync with each other. In reality, however, lip service is paid to these reve-lations, leaving them suspended in Limbo, creating a vast chasm between the Dream and its Realization. Each religion or people or nation or denominations zealously guards its own definition of Truth; each de-sires to be the Sole Guardian of the Holy spaces, the only Definer of truths. So instead of love, there is hatred; instead of under-standing, there is prejudice; instead of Peace, there is accusation and confrontation. But Humanity cannot survive without its dreams. And Jerusalem represents the dream of a perfected world. It is both the Blessing and the Curse; it is Eden Restored and Armageddon Realized. Out of Jerusalem will go forth the Law along with the Word of G-d; for if we finally bring peace to "House of the People" TEMPLE BETH AM 3 Jerusalem we will ultimately discover the way to bring peace to the rest of the world. As a Jew, I firmly be-lieve that Jerusalem is the key to world peace. The words of the prophet Isaiah tell us that Jerusalem is meant to be a "place for all peoples," not just for the Jew. We have served as its conqueror and its guardian. But so have other peoples; the Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Muslim, Crusader, Turk, British...and the Israeli Now perhaps in the not too distant future, the Palestinian will share in that guardianship as well. Jerusalem ? idealized ? belongs to the world. It should be established as an International Spiritual City, belonging to no one particular religion or people. Let the Israeli and the Palestinian serve as joint care-takers on behalf of the rest of the world. Let them jointly administer the city and call it their respective capitals. No one people should "own" Jerusalem or claim it only for themselves alone. The City of Peace is meant to belong to everyone, at least in a messianic sense. We Jews do have a unique claim to and relationship with Jerusalem! No one should deny this. But the pro-phetic claims for Jerusalem substantiate that it is to be a place for all new peoples. Perhaps the Messianic Dream is now within our grasp. Let it make it a place for all peoples. Let this newly created people, the Pal-estinians, become joint stewards of Jerusalem along with the Israelis. Let Esau Finally make peace with his brother Jacob; let Ishmael return to his father's house. Let there truly be a reconciliation that will reunite the House of Jacob, bringing peace to Jerusalem and to the rest of the world! B'Shalom, Rabbi Mel Hecht, MHL, DD 4 THESHOFAR September 2000 Religious School Events Religious School Begins Sunday September 10th Hebrew ( 1 0 year olds and up) 9 am to l o am K to Confirmation 10 am to noon Rosh Hashana Children's Service 12:30 pm in LDS Church Immediately following Adult Services Babysitting will be available at Temple Beth Am for all High Holiday Services. (Snacks & Crafts planned for children) Consecration for Kinder's Friday October 20th, 7:30 pm 28 days of Religious School Scheduled May 20, 2001 Final Ceremonies Friday May 25, 2001 Confirmation Religious School Wish List r% mWid you know that we have a Wish List? Here ^ ^ are some things we would like for our school this year. Maybe you can help! A Book and Video and Music Library Two VCR/TV Combos Donations can be made specifically to the Reli-gious School. A book, video and music library can be as easy as donating ones you and your family have outgrown. We need the VCR/TV combos for our classrooms. Our Religious School gladly accepts all monetary donations for these items as well. Any and all con-tributions will be proudly posted in each issue of The Shofar. Thank you so much! L 'Shana Tova Back to School 7here are several new things we will be adding to our school curriculum this year. One is a monthly Friday night class service. This actually won't begin until November. We have so many holiday projects to do before the chil-dren can brush up on their Baruchas'. We also are planning monthly after religious school activi-ties. This year we thought we would divide ac-tivities into age groups: K-l and 2 - 3 , and 4 - 5 and up. Planned activities will include bowling, roller skating, mini-grand prix and Scandia. There will be many more activities during the year. It's very important to have volunteers to help set up and break down. Everyone will be asked to help. I hope that each family will be able to help in at least 2 activities during the year. This will enable us to deliver a more cohesive and productive year for everyone. I would like to remind all of the parents and children of our dress code. We ask for no bare bellies, spaghetti straps, halter tops or holes in jeans. The older children set an example for the younger ones. Please be aware of this code and have your children dress appropriately. To teach more about Tzedakah this year, we ask that you bring in one or two cans or boxed for a month for the Jewish Families food drive that will be active all year. It's a reminder of how fortunate we are to have plenty to share. Also, if you forgot to bring in your Tzedakah can at the end of last year, you can still bring it in now. Teachers and Staff will be happy to accept it. We will hold a teacher meeting Sunday Sep-tember 24th at 12:15 pm. Teachers and Staff mark your calendars. If you have any questions I can be reached through the office at 254-5110.

Mr. Nitzami is the Jewish National Fund's Israel Emissary to the Western United States. He will bring our congregation up to date on the how Israel will meet the challenges of the 21st century. Chief among them is water. Critical water shortages will be ex-acerbated as Israel shares its limited natural water re-sources with its regional partners in peace. The relentless demand to provide more land for urban development, as the country continues its historic absorption of new immi-grants, will increasingly put pressure on the remaining green spaces. There are solutions. Come and enjoy a Shabbat of prayer and learning.

Whether you are a Jew who would like to know more about your own religion, a Non-Jew married to a Jew, a Christian desiring a better understanding of the origins of your own re-ligion, or someone who is thinking about conversion, this is the class for you. Adult Hebrew & B'Nai Mitzvah Class Why not come and learn to read (or reread) Hebrew? This class is especially tailored for the adult wishing to become Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
