A MESSAGE FROM RABBI JOSHUA FRANKLIN / MAZEL TOV

  The Attitude of Gratitude
                            The Talmud, the great compendium of Jewish legal thought and wisdom,
                            makes the following distinctions between good and bad dinner guests.
                            “What does a good guest say,” asks the sage Ben Zoma? “My hosts have done
                            so much on my behalf. They have served a fine meal with wine, meat and
                            bread. They have done so much for me!” Bad dinner guests, on the other
                            hand, what do they say? “My hosts didn’t do all that much. After all, I only
                            ate one piece of meat, one piece of bread, and drank only one cup of wine.”
                            Such a guest concludes that, “my hosts cooked mainly for themselves and
                            their family, but not so much for me.” The good dinner guest and the bad
                            dinner guest eat the same meal, have the same experience, and yet come
                            to radically different conclusions. The difference between the two guests,
                            the sages point out, is the virtue of gratitude.

  Gratitude is not being thankful when we have abundance, it’s being satisfied with whatever it is
  that we have. Gratitude is less a feeling, and more of a state of mind that we practice. The Hebrew
  term for gratitude is “‫ הכרת הטוב‬hakarat hatov,” which literally translates into, “recognizing the good
  in things.” The implication is that the good is already there, yet practicing gratitude is merely about
  uncovering it and being able to see it. Rabbi Bachya ibn Pakuda, an 11th Century Jewish philosopher
  and ethicist, teaches that there isn’t a person alive who hasn’t been given gifts, if only the gifts of
  life and hope. But we tend to suffer a kind of blindness that keeps us from seeing and appreciating
  what we have. If you find yourself in such a place where you can’t seem to see anything for which
  you might be grateful, it is taught that one should say: “‫ מודים אנחנו לך ה’ אלהינו על שאנו מודים לך‬We give
  thanks to you God, for the mere ability to offer you thanks.”

  Practicing gratitude isn’t easy, but it’s surely worth it. “Who is rich?” asks the rabbinic sage Ben Azzai,
  “The person who has joy in what they have.” There is no better time than a crisis or a pandemic to be
  reminded that there is still blessing and good in so many places in this world. We just have to work
  on being able to see it.

  Want to cultivate an attitude of gratitude? Try these 3 practices:

  1.   Before you go to bed, vocalize out loud one thing for which you are grateful, and try to say
       something new and different each and every night.

  2. Take a photo each day of something that you are grateful for. Put the photos in an album and
     review them each Shabbat.

  3. Judaism prescribes saying the words “Modeh (m) /Modah (f) ani l’fanecha (I give thanks before
     you) each morning when you wake up. There are many melodies to this prayer that composers
     have written. Try downloading the app “Flavors of Gratefulness” from the Apple App Store,
     which offers 36 different Jewish melodies for singing these words.

A MESSAGE FROM RABBI DEBRA STEIN, CANTOR

                           My life has changed forever. I have been blessed with a miracle, the birth
                           of a grandchild. When my daughter told me that she was pregnant, my joy
                           overflowed for her. I had little to no idea how this would change me. Many who
                           became grandparents before me said those wise, sage words, “Wait, you’ll see.”
                           I couldn’t ever have imagined what they were talking about.

                           I was lucky to have my daughter and her husband with me during most of the
                           pregnancy, and I began to count blessings during a pandemic.

                           Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech Ha’Olam…

                           Who has allowed me to spend time with my son-in-law and see all that my
  daughter fell in love with

  Who has blessed my daughter and her husband with fertility and the ability to conceive

  Who has allowed me to experience the months of pregnancy through the eyes of my daughter

  Who has given me a home where I can find space for my children to live

  Who brought a kitten into our lives

  Who gave my dog patience to learn how to live with this new kitten

  And the blessings just kept making me aware of how even through a pandemic, having faith in a power
  greater than me could allow me to see the smallest gifts as blessings.

  We have all lived through so much. So much isolation and so much fear. So much confusion and so
  much uncertainty. Now we are seeing the possibility of the silver lining. Now we are able to see family
  and friends without tremendous fears. Yes, I still have my reservations, but I don’t live in constant fear.
  I’m still very cautious, but again, I don’t live in constant fear.

  I digress, let me go back to my blessing. It was the second night Seder, when I received a call that my
  daughter had gone into labor. The arrangement was that I would go immediately to their house so
  that I could take care of the aforementioned kitten. My intention was to take part in the JCOH Zoom
  second night Seder from their apartment. However, my brain could not wrap itself around anything
  other than my daughter and everything she and her husband were going through.

  So, I packed up everything I needed, and drove to their home. Much of everything after that was a
  blur of emotions, expectations, anxiety and hope, as I waited for news that the baby had been born.
  I told very few people because I didn’t want to be inundated with emails and calls and texts asking
  what was happening, since I had no idea. I only knew that they were in the hospital receiving the best
  care possible. I found out on Monday, the 28th that I had a grandson. A few days later, when they came
  home, I got to see this newborn miracle and that is when my heart melted. Wait, you’ll see!

  Let me say this. My heart if filled with Love as it has never been before. To see my child with her child
  in her arms is pure joy. To be able to love him and see him has been the miracle I always prayed for. To
  you, my congregational family, I thank you for all of your well wishes, all of your calls and your gifts.

  Our JCOH family has grown by one more. Chazak Chazak V’nitchazek... may we be strong and
  strengthen one another.

  To all of you who tried to tell me about the joys of being a grandmother, I will admit, you were all right.

  Nes Gadol Haya Po…A Great Miracle Happened Here.

TIKKUN LEIL SHAVUOT / SHAVUOT MORNING SERVICE WITH YIZKOR

                                    SHAVUOT
 It’s time to receive Torah! Shavuot is the celebration of the moment when the Torah
     was given to Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. Each year, we reenact the
  moment by reading the 10 commandments, studying all night long (our community
   study won’t go that long), and eating dairy food, like cheese cake. Because Israel is
 called the “land of milk and honey,” we nosh on dairy food. Perhaps, it’s not as ritually
distinct as eating latkes or matzah, but who doesn’t like good cheesecake and blintzes?

  WITH RABBI JOSHUA FRANKLIN
  MONDAYS | 5:00pm | EXTENDED THROUGH MAY 17!

  describes a movement of self betterment through the development of holy Jewish virtues. Come

  (anavah), wisdom (chochmah), generosity (n’divut), compassion (rachamim), and trust (bitachon).
  Mussar is not Jewish self-help. Its purpose rather is to elevate holiness in each individual.

  This event will be held on Zoom. Please visit jcoh.org/mussar to join.

  We will continue to find ways to connect
  with our community and to connect you
  to each other.

 ZOOM SHABBAT
  FRIDAYS | 6:00pm
  SATURDAYS | 10:00am
  Connect with your JCOH
  community, wherever
  you may be, by joining us
  for Zoom Shabbat. Zoom
  allows us to see each other
  virtually as we pray, creating
  community even when
  we may be at a distance.
  Together, we will light
  Shabbat candles, sing and
  pray in community.

 TORAH STUDY
  SATURDAYS | 12:00pm
  Dive deep into the weekly
  Torah portion with Rabbi
  Joshua Franklin. Come for just
  one or come for every one.

  Each week we begin anew in
  our study of Torah through
  an array of perspective,
  commentaries, and opinion.
