}}C. Peter R. Gossels (born August 11, 1930) is an attorney practicing in Massachusetts. He is a contributor to professional journals and co-editor of a number of Jewish prayer books, including Vetaher Libenu, the first siddur to use non-sexist, inclusive language, published in 1980.[1]

Early life

Gossels was born in Berlin, Germany on August 11, 1930. He and his younger brother, Werner F. Gossels, were sent to France by their mother, Charlotte Lewy Gossels, and were placed at the Chateau de Chabannes in the Creuse in 1941 by Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants in Creuse. The boys were given visas through the American Friends Service Committee who worked with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to bring them to the United States in September 1941.[2][3][4][5] Gossels was featured in the 2001 Emmy-winning film, Children of Chabannes, produced and directed by his daughter, Lisa R. Gossels. The documentary tells the story of how the people of Chabannes, a small village in occupied France, saved the lives of 400 Jewish refugee children, including the two Gossels boys.[6][7]

Career

Gossels attended Boston Latin School before graduating from Harvard College and Harvard Law School.[5][8] He served in the United States Army from October 1954 until July 1956.[9]

Gossels moved to Wayland, Massachusetts in 1961. After serving as a member of the Finance Committee of the Town of Wayland, Massachusetts between 1966 and 1968, and as Wayland’s Town Counsel for eleven years, Gossels was elected Moderator of the Town of Wayland in 1982. He served as moderator until 2011. During this time, he implemented the first system of electronic voting to be used at New England town meeting.[1][5]

Legal career

He was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1955, the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts in 1957, the U.S. Court of Appeals, First Circuit in 1957, and the Supreme Court of the United States in 1965. Gossels first law firm position was with Sullivan and Worchester as a trial lawyer. In 1965, Gossels became a partner in the firm of Zelman, Gossels and Alexander.[1] Gossels served as Chair of the Section on International Legal Practice of the Boston Bar Association between 1962 and 1967. In that capacity, he organized and produced The New England Conference on Legal Problems of Doing Business Abroad, which attracted large audiences each year.[10][11] In 1970, he worked with Michael Dukakis, soon-to-be Governor of Massachusetts, to create and enact the first system of no-fault automobile insurance protection in the United States.[12] Gossels joined the Boston law firm of Weston Patrick in 1972.[1]

He co-authored the report of the Boston Bar Association Work Group on cost and time efficiencies in the Massachusetts courts in 2005.[1] Gossels has published articles in the Boston Bar Journal and Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly.[13][14]

Gossels served as Chair of the Fee Disputes Committee of the Boston Bar Association from 2000 to 2010, and as a hearing officer for the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers from 2006 to 2012. He has earned the highest “A.V.” rating from the publishers of the Martindale Hubbell Law Directory.

Other activities

Since 1998, Gossels has hosted an annual two-hour cable television program in Wayland, Massachusetts, “Ask the Candidates – Live!” which allows voters ask questions to public office candidates in Wayland, Massachusetts.[15][16] Gossels was included among Boston's Top Rated Lawyers, according to the Boston Globe 2012 and 2014 ratings.[17][18]

While serving as president of Congregation Beth El of the Sudbury River Valley in Sudbury, Massachusetts (1977–1979), Gossels served as co-editor with his wife Nancy Lee Gossels and Joan S. Kaye of the first egalitarian Jewish prayer book (or siddur) Vetaher Libenu published in 1980. The book featured nonsexist, inclusive language and revised the traditional Hebrew translation of "{{lang|he-Latn|Barukh atah Adonai Eloheinu, melekh ha'olam,}}" or "Praised are You, Adonai our God, Ruler to the Universe," to "Holy One of Blessing, Your Presence Fills Creation."[1][19][20][21] Gossels also served as co-editor of Chadesh Yamenu an egalitarian machzor for Rosh HaShana (1997) and Canfay HaShachar (2003), a siddur for weekday morning prayers.[1]
