Geese propel themselves southward, honking asthey go, while squirrels bury and munch, munch and bury, fattening themselves. Leaves turn yellow,orange, red, brown, and then fall thick on our lawns. And on farms, the harvest is hauled in.In early autumn, we experienced the great emptying of Yom Kippur, removing sin from our souls andfood from our bodies. We then hurtled into Sukkot, which celebrated not emptiness but fullness –hearts full of joy, storehouses full of grain. And finally, in America, we celebrate Thanksgiving, fillingtables with family and food.The John Keats ode, “To Autumn” (1819), captures this season’s abundance perfectly. It begins:Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,Close-bosomed friend of the maturing sun;Conspiring with him how to load and blessWith fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run.Such is autumn. But then, the natural world’s abundance recedes, giving way to yet more emptiness –winter: icy white by day, long darkness by night, with life-squelching cold.For some, winter is difficult. But it also presents an opportunity, for on Chanukah we fill that darkemptiness, manufacturing and increasing light for eight days.This is the Jewish way. Each day is an empty vessel, and we insist on filling it with goodness. Not onlyholidays, but every moment is an opportunity for sanctifying, for filling with holiness. Each step andhalf-step we take presents an opportunity to do a mitzvah, to do an act of kindness, to thank G-d forthe shocking pleasure and privilege of existence.May we fill our souls with this insight. May we fill each moment with joy and gratitude. And may oursynagogue be full of opportunities to pursue an abundance of good and holy pursuits.Shabbat Shalom,Rabbi Jeffrey Weill

GEMILUTH CHESED – LOTTE GRUEN FUNDIt is a mitzvah to bring loving-kindness into the world.Doing so is known as gemiluth chesed.Our Congregation is fortunate to have the GemiluthChesed -- Lotte Gruen Fund. Lotte was a special womanwho gave of herself to help others. And that is what thisfund is all about -- helping others, specifically EHNTmembers who are experiencing financial hardship.A committee of five meets several times a year to makedisbursements from the fund. The recipients’ names areknown only to members of the committee.The fund must continually be replenished. Pleaseconsider making a tax-deductible contribution to thefund. It will surely help a fellow congregant who is inneed.Moreover, if you are aware of someone in ourcongregation who might benefit from a disbursementfrom the fund, please ask them to contact me.Thank you,Rabbi Weill
