The Busy Month of September: Starting
the New Year with Havurat Tikvah
September not only marks the
beginning of the New Year, but
also marks our entrance into a
busy schedule of Havurat Tikvah
events and activities.
As always, we invite those
looking for a place to celebrate the
High Holy Days to be part of our
member-led services. First time
attendees and college students are
welcome to join us at no cost.
We start the season with
Selichot services at 8 PM on
Saturday, September 4. The
reflective and penitential nature of
the service sets the perfect tone
for entering the Days of Awe.
Rosh Hashanah services begin
at 10 AM on Thursday, September
9 and Friday, September 10.
Services are followed by a festive
potluck luncheon. We reconvene
on Thursday afternoon for
Tashlich (location to be
announced during Rosh Hashanah
services).
Our Yom Kippur journey starts
with Kol Nidre on Friday evening,
September 17 (come early and
plan to be seated by 7 PM).
Services start again on Saturday at
10 AM, with Yizkor and Healing
Services scheduled for the early
afternoon. An afternoon break will
be followed by a late afternoon
program that leads into our con
cluding Neilah service at 7 PM.
We end the holiday with a com
munity pot-luck break fast.
Unless otherwise specified,
services will be held at 2201
Springdale Avenue (at Magnolia)
in Charlotte’s Dilworth neighbor
hood. If you’d like to join us, we
invite you to call the number
below so that we can plan ade
quate seating and arrange baby
sitting for young children.
In addition to our high holiday
activities, September also signals
the start of a new semester at our
weekly Religious School.
Classes, for children of
Havurat Tikvah families,
officially start on Sunday
September 5 and promise
to be filled with an excit
ing and fun curriculum of
Judaic learning.
Planning is still under
way for our annual
Sukkot celebration. As in the past,
we’re planning to celebrate the
harvest, wave the lulav and etrog,
and enjoy a casual meal in the
company of old friends and new
A
acquaintances. Please call the
number below for details.
You can also call the number
below for the latest information
on our ongoing mitzvah efforts
with the Dilworth Soup Kitchen
and for this month’s “Project
Linus” meeting day and time.
Havurat Tikvah is an affiliate of
the Jewish Reconstructionist
Federation, providing a comfort
able, family atmosphere where all
Jews can feel welcome. We
encourage participation in the
community and in our services.
For those who are interested, we
invite you to visit, get to know us,
and to become part of our growing
congregation of nearly 60

New JLI Course on Medicine and Morals
is CME and CLE Approved
The Jewish Learning Institute
of Charlotte is pleased to
announce its upcoming fall course
on Medical ethics. Although the
course is open to everyone in the
Jewish community, this course
should be of particular interest to
local physicians and attorneys as
this course had been approved for
CME credits and by the North
Carolina bar for CLE credits.
As medicine advances and life
expectancy increases, almost all
of us will at some point encounter
an ethical dilemma in dealing with
our own health or the health of a
loved one.
How is one’s Jewish status
determined in the case of surro
gate motherhood?
Is it permissible, or perhaps
even obligatory, to donate a kid
ney to save the life of a loved one?
May one pursue a dangerous
experimental treatment that has
the risk of shortening life? Should
children and teens have the auton
omy to refuse potentially lifesav-
ing treatment because of its ardu
ous side effects, even when their
parents disagree with their deci
sion?
Modem medicine creates many
new quandaries as it continually
pushes the boundaries of what is
possible. But Jewish law creative
ly draws analogies with ancient
paradigms to provide guidance
through the maze of medical deci
sion making.
In this engaging course, we will
examine some contemporary case
studies, comparing secular and
Jewish approaches as a means of
developing ethical understanding.
The JLI course will begin on
Tuesday October 26, 7:30 PM for
six consecutive Tuesdays for the
evening classes and on
Wednesday October 27, 11 AM
for six consecutive Wednesdays.
The evening class will be taught
by Rabbi Yossi Groner and the
morning class by Rabbi Shlomo
Cohen. Fee for registration is $85
or $150 per couple. To register,
please visit www.myjli.com or
call our office at 704-366-3984.
Save the date: Sunday,
December 5. We will celebrating
the 30th anniversary of Lubavitch
in Charlotte with major event in

When I kept silent, my substance wasted

So I acknowledged my sin to You. and
didnl liide my guiit saying. “I liereliy confess
my transgressions to tlie Eternal."
And You took away tlie guilt for my sin.
