From the Rabbi For those who were unable to hear my Capital Campaign presentation on Rosh Hashanah, I share it with you below: I don’t know i you are aware o this, but here at Har Shalom, we actually have our very own time machine. That’s right, by crossing a threshold here in our building you can be transported back in time! Specically it will take you back 43 years to 1971: the year “All in the Family” debuted, and “Benny Hill” topped the TV ratings; the year o Apollo 14 and Nixon’s secret White House tapes; in 1971 the Kennedy Center opened here in Washington and my Cleveland Indians went 20 innings against the Washington Senators, and the Baltimore Colts beat the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl V in 1971. It was the year o belted turtlenecks, are jeans, velour pant suits, and platorm shoes… or men. The year the dot matrix printer was invented, the very rst instant cup o noodles, and the debut o the videocassette. And 1971 was the year that Har Shalom built the older part o our current acility. Now while ashions have changed, presidents have changed, television has changed, baseball changed rom Senators to Nationals and ootball rom Colts to Ravens, the older part o our building, has hardly changed at all. And while I am certainly a lover o history (I am, ater all a Conservative Jew), I am not a an o sacred spaces alling into disrepair and neglect. We have a spectacular, spiritually evocative, naturally lit, gorgeous Frederick and Iris Burke Sanctuary. The Gathering Hall is bright and welcoming, and the grand hallway that leads to the time-machine portal including the Allegra Soair Chapel is all modern, well lit, and comortable. But then you cross the threshold into 1971 and enter a worn and tired Social Hall that rankly orces our own Har Shalom amilies to search or alternative Dearest Friends... venues or their children’s b’nai mitzvah celebrations and wedding receptions — or to invest signicant dollars draping and covering up a room that is unt or these kinds o aairs [and rankly I have never been comortable with our venerable, beloved Rabbi Cahan leading High Holy Day services in a room that looks like this]. The Gordon Sanctuary is covered with badly stained carpet, poor lighting and though my wie went to the University o Texas where burnt orange is the school’s color, a 21 st century worship space is not enhanced by this particular color scheme. It is dark, it is beat up, and it is embarrassing. When you enter our building near the ofces, which is where most people enter 6 out o 7 days o the week, there is nowhere to sit or schmooze or create community. It is dark, and not particularly welcoming or inspiring. Let me tell you what’s happening in the 21 st Century at Har Shalom. We are long past the traumas and troubles o our past. Our reputation on the street is positive and attractive. People moving Rabbi Adam J. Raskin “ ...I believe in the vitality and promising future of our congregation. But just as the Torah devotes signifcant attention to the construction and design of holy places like the Tabernacle and the Temple in Jerusalem, we must also make our holy place look and feel like a place that inspires pride and joy in being Jewish...
