FALL/WINTER PROGRAM GUIDE

2015-2016/5775-5776

Dear Community Members,

As we approach the New Year, we are pleased to present our first fall/
winter program guide! We encourage you to check out our slate of upcoming
courses, lectures and gatherings. Offering innovative and exciting programs
to enrich and support Jewish life in Southern Maine is a critical aspect of our
mission.
In partnership with several other organizations, we provide unique content
and the opportunity for you and your family to meet new friends and explore
ideas both new and familiar. Our programs are open to all, regardless of
religious affiliation. Some are tuition-based, and others are offered for free;
where a fee is charged, weve noted that clearly in the guide.
As always, we welcome your feedback and involvement there are many
ways for you to participate, and we hope you will join us as we embark on
another year of learning and sharing in community!

I used to think. . .
I used to think growing up meant
I would have the answers to most
questions.
I used to think I knew the answers
to most questions.
I used to think that I could plan
and it would happen.
I used to think I was self sufficient.
I used to think that bad things do
not happen to good people.
I used to think the bumps in
my road could be completely
overcome.
I used that think my children
would lead the charmed lives I
dreamt for them.
I used to think my grandchildren

I used to think I would grow old

I used to think everything would

come from within me.

Award-winning Intentional Legacy
Pilot Project, Summer 2013

Becoming a Sage: Embracing

Wisdom
Wisdom without action is like a
tree without fruit.-Rashi.
A Sage is a person who is reclaiming
the Honored Elders rightful place
in the life cycle. Elders have been
honored as wisdom-keepers for
thousands of years, but their
position has been weakened by
Western societys obsession with
work and youthfulness. The role of
Honored Elder is now resurfacing
through such movements as Sageing and Conscious Aging. This course
explores basic components of the
journey to Sage: Sage-ing versus
Age-ing, Life Review & Life Repair,
Forgiveness, Facing Mortality and
Creating Intentional Legacy. No
writing is required. Text: From Ageing to Sage-ing: A Revolutionary

My Mother Dances at Weddings
Out of the Whirlwind - my mothers feet.
out of the dust - my mothers dance.
One bourbon, thats all it takes
to get her to move, her
hips to shake.
She leads the ring around the floor.
Dance for herself and so many more.
The bride
The groom
A bar mitzvah boy
She exhales her blessings
Inhales their joy.
There is no burying any part of grief
so she steals these moments
a happiness thief.
She taught me life is precious.
She showed me the world is open.
She practiced human dignity
and preached a classless regard.
She walked with power
but rejected its meanness.
Seen by all as a will of iron
some photos might show
her gentler and more fragile soul.
My mother dances at weddings.
Kicks up her cracked and ancient heels
Forgets the aching in her joints
Loses the tightness in her chest
and casts off the shortness of her breath.
Where the road does fork and we must choose;
she follows the bridal train - and not the
graveside path.

Holocaust Studies Course
This 15-week course offers a
broad and interdisciplinary
overview of the Holocaust,
its antecedents, complex
context, and nexus of factors
that exploded into the most
destructive chapter in human
history. We will employ primary
and secondary sources as well
as creative products (poetry,
literature, art, film, etc) to explore
major themes, events, legacies
and applications of painfully
essential knowledge garnered
from decades of scholarly
research and discovery. The intent
of this course is to help ensure
the enduring significance of the
Shoahs most dense and unique
counsel for humanitys journey,
with the goals of cultivating
tikkun olam (repairing the world)
and what Jewish metaphysician,
Martin Buber, spoke of as I and
Thou and the authentic We.
Most materials will be presented
in class, but on occasion brief
readings will be assigned in
advance.

The October 4th fall festival occurs at the end of Sukkot (Festival of Tabernacles),
and just prior to Shemini Atzeret (Eighth Day of Assembly) and Simchat Torah
(rejoicing with the Torah).

Simchat Torah

Simchat Torah is the last celebration of the Jewish High Holiday season.
Created in Babylonia during the early middle ages, it is a holiday that
marks the end of the yearly cycle of reading the Torah with end of
Deuteronomy and then beginning the new cycle of reading with Genesis
1 once more. . . .
. . .One of my favorite reminders of the coming of fall is a Japanese
maple in our front yard. The leaves turn in the fall from a dark green to a
glorious blazing red a final burst of light before they fall off and the tree
sleeps in the winter.
Like Scheherazade we tell stories to keep ourselves alive-- truly alive to
the rhythms of Creation of which we are so intimately part of. So I will
celebrate Simchat Torah and hear again the chanting of the Creation,
look at our tree and pray that the world will come to be what it should be.

Creation One More Time, Huffington Post, October 19, 2011.

Charity - Tzedakah
Although the Hebrew word tzedakah
is often understood and translated
as charity, this translation does not
convey all that tzedakah implies. The
word is derived from the biblical word
tzedek, meaning righteousness or
justice. Thus in Jewish thinking,
tzedakah is not only a matter of
Philanthropic sentiment, but an act of
justice. Jews are obligated to give not
because helping others is a kind thing
to do, but because righteous giving
helps to eliminate injustice in the world.
