Rabbi Joseph P. Klein
As my rst year at Temple Emanu-El
draws to a close, I thank you for welcom-
ing me into the community as your cantor.
It has been an honor to get to know somany of our adults, children, and teens – at life-cycle events and prayer services,over Share Shabbat dinners and in the
classroom.... I look forward to deepening
these relationships and developing new
ones in the year to come.
I have shared with many that Michiganfeels not too different from New Jerseywhere I grew up, but one striking differ-ence is the time of sunset, about 45 minutes later here than on the
East coast. This is most apparent during the summer, when the latesunsets seem almost magical, as if time is suspended. I hope that you
will have many chances this summer to enjoy these slower, longer
days and the sun’s reluctant descent. You may enjoy reading the
following poem, written by Jacob Glatstein and translated by RuthWhitman, during one of our late Michigan sunsets (it’s found in
Mishkan T’lah in the Havdalah service, but can also be meaningfulon Friday night or perhaps a peaceful weekday evening).
I’ll let you in on a secret about how one should pray the sunset prayer. It’s a juicy bit of praying,like strolling on grass,nobody’s chasing you, nobody hurries you.You walk toward your Creator with gifts in pure, empty hands.The words are golden, their meaning is transparent,
it’s as though you’re saying them for the rst time.
If you don’t catch on that you should feel a little elevated, you’re not praying the sunset prayer.The tune is sheer simplicity, you’re just lending a helping hand to the sinking day. It’s a heavy responsibility.You take a created day and you slip it into the archive of life,where all our lived-out days are lying together.The day is departing with a quiet kiss. It lies open at your feet while you stand saying the blessings.You can’t create anything yourself, but youcan lead the day to its end and seeclearly the smile of its going down.See how whole it all is, not diminished for a second,how you age with the days that keep dawning,how you bring your lived-out day as a gift to eternity.
(Mishkan T’lah, p. 611)
At the Annual CongregationalMeeting, Cantor Sharleinand I presented our idea for a
“bima makeover”. For many
years I have discussed, both publicly and privately, myconcerns about our sanctuary
worship space. I don’t like
that my reading desk is so far above and so far away fromthe congregation, that there isa wall separating us, that thecantor/choir is “all the way”on the other side of the bima, and that our bima is not
handicap accessible. Over the years, I have explored
the possibility of major renovations, and Cantor Shar-lein and I have this past year tried minor adjustmentsand changes to bring us “into” the congregation so thatworship becomes more of a shared spiritual moment,and less of an elevated leadership directing those in the
pews below.Over the past several months the Cantor and I realized
that while not making very expensive or extensive
modications to our bima, we could accomplish muchof what we want. Our plan is to extend the bima from
the second step (or perhaps third step) up from the
sanctuary oor, out into the congregation about 4 or 5 feet. (We have enough sanctuary carpet to cover the
extension) We would bring my reading desk to themiddle of this extension, where the Cantor and I would
stand. It would mean that we’d be standing one foot(perhaps 18”) above the oor, in front of the wall. We
would remove the front pews on either side, and wewould have a ramp leading up to this extension along
the western bima wall. For the High Holidays and for
weddings we would return my reading desk to its cur-rent position, but for all others sanctuary services, the
Cantor and I would lead worship from this extension.
Members who have heard our presentation have com-mented that this would put the visual focus of worshipin the center, with the reading desk lifting one’s eyes tothe Ark, which leads up to the 10 Commandments on
the back wall. Instead of visually turning from one side
of the bima to the other, we would bring it all together
in the center. We will preserve the integrity of our
sanctuary design, while bringing our worship leaders
into the congregation—a reection of the warm and
comfortable, friendly and welcoming congregation that
we are.
