RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: ELUL: 3rd of 4 Jewish New Years: JEWISH SPIRITUAL RENEWAL
SEPTEMBER 2016 BLUFFTON SUN RABBI DR ARTHUR SEGAL
Shalom and greetings:
In our tour through the Jewish calendar this year, we arrive at September 4, the first day of the month of Elul. This is the 3rd of four Jewish New Years, the tithing of domesticated animals. (Talmud Rosh Hashanah 2a). This parallels the holiday of Tu B'Shevat, the New Year for Trees, which we discussed in January. The New Year for Animals is a challenge to rediscover our responsibilities to animals that depend on us for their welfare. Are we treating them correctly with the mitzvah of tza'ar ba'alei chayim [not causing suffering to living creatures]? Have we understood the depth of chesed [loving-kindness], concerning the welfare of animals in Judaism? This is the day to reflect upon and repair our relationships with animals, and recognize our responsibilities.
Reappraising our interdependent relationship with all life is the first step which ensures our own survival, as individuals and as a people, sharing this planet with all of God's living creatures and eco-system.
The rest of the month of Elul is devoted daily to our preparing for Yom Kippur. If we have not made amends {teshuvah}, vidui (confession), gotten rid of resentments, made peace with all, and a chesbon ha nefesh (moral inventory), throughout the year, then Elul is the 'catch up' period. The shofar ram's horn is sounded each day reminding us to "awaken'' spiritually.
"Elul" means "search" in Aramaic. Elul is a time to search one's heart and draw close to God and our fellows. Judah Loew of Prague [c.1600] said, "All the month of Elul, before eating and sleeping, a person should look into his soul and search his deeds, that he may make confession." We even begin to wish each other Rosh Hashanah greetings even though this Holy Day is a month away.
Just as the farmers counted and inspected their flocks on Elul 1, the rabbis taught that God counts and inspects us as His flock. ''Master of the Universe, I hereby forgive anyone who angered or antagonized me or who sinned against me - whether against my body, my property, my honor or against anything of mine; May no man be punished because of me and may I sin no more.''[Daily Bed Time Shema Prayer].

JEWISH WEDDINGS OFFICIATED BY RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: TRADITIONAL, INTERFAITH, CO-OFFICIANT, DESTINATION
"One of the Joys of being a Rabbi," says Rabbi Arthur Segal," is working closely with the bride and groom and officiating at their wedding." He can do this with couples living near by or with couples having a destination wedding in the greater beautiful Hilton Head Island area.
Rabbi Arthur Segal helps develop a custom ceremony with the couple so that each word in the ceremony rings true to them. His ceremonies can range from the very traditional to what ever the couples desires. Rabbi opines that this is the couple's special day, and to treat each wedding as unique.
For those who are having an interfaith wedding, Rabbi takes special care to respect both traditions, again with total input from the couple. He will be pleased to co-officiate at weddings, using non-Trinitarian language.
Rabbi Arthur Segal also will do recommitment marriage ceremonies with the same care as he does weddings.
Rabbi will work closely with the wedding planer and/or caterer to make sure the wedding is seamless, and the bride and groom can totally enjoy themselves on their special day.
Rabbi Arthur Segal is available, and actually prefers, to be at the rehearsal, to ensure all is going smoothly, and to get to know the bridal party, and family, before the actual wedding day.
For those that wish to have a Ketubah, rabbi will work closely to make sure everyone's name has correct calligraphy on the document, in English and Hebrew, so the signing ceremony is flawless.
For a beautiful gallery of Ketubahs go to JudaicConnection.com (My couples receive a $15 shipping discount)
Rabbi Arthur Segal tries to limit his weddings to Hilton Head, SC, Bluffton, SC, Palmetto Bluff, SC, Savannah, GA, and Charleston, SC, but has been known to make himself available elsewhere, even out of the USA. He will also conduct weddings and recommitment ceremonies on cruise ships.
In keeping with Jewish ethics, if the couple resides in Rabbi Arthur Segal's town, Rabbi will ask, unless there are some special circumstances, if the couple has first asked the local pulpit rabbi to officiate.
