2 June/July 2018 • Sivan/Tammuz/Av 5778 Temple Israel

On Friday, June 22 at 7:30 pm, we will celebrate Rabbi Jennifer Kaluzny’s “Bat Mitzvah” year here at Temple Israel. Usually, it is the Bat Mitzvah who receives the gifts; but at a special service in her honor we will thank her for all of the many gifts she has bestowed upon us over these past thirteen years.

As the co-founder of our Pastoral Care Department here at Temple Israel, Rabbi Jen is a constant source of love and support to the members of our community who are in nursing homes, hospitals, and senior care facilities. She has a unique ability to wrap her arms around people who are in grief and facing life’s challenges. Because of her hard work and constant attention, our families know that their loved ones are supported lovingly by their congregation. And as a chaplain with The Jewish Hospice and Chaplaincy Network, she offers care, resources, and support to those at the end of life with kindness and compassion.

The gifts that she brings, however, are not confined to our seniors, for Rabbi Jen has also reinvigorated our 8th grade program. To our middle schoolers, Rabbi Jen serves as a role model and friend just as they find themselves in a transitional, and often challenging, stage of their lives. Her students love being here for 8th grade! By building the curriculum around a special trip and innovative programming, she has transformed the way our b’nai mitzvah students feel about making the passage from 7th grade to our high school Roots and YFTI youth group programs.

Six rabbis have preceded Rabbi Kaluzny in celebrating thirteen years of service to our temple, but only Rabbi Kaluzny has also celebrated her actual Bat Mitzvah on our bima. As the daughter of active temple leaders, Yolanda and David Tisdale, she actually attended our nursery school and was an officer of our temple youth group. She traveled to Israel with Rabbi Yedwab and served as a Madricha for a Youth Mission to Israel with Rabbi Bennett. She is a favorite daughter of this congregation, and we are all so very proud of her. For us, her clergy colleagues, Rabbi Jen is a friend, a teacher, and a confidant. Several of us attended her first Bat Mitzvah back when she was thirteen years old. Imagine how proud we are of the person, the leader and the rabbi that she has become!

Congratulations to Rabbi Jennifer & Ryan Kaluzny and their beautiful children Bayla, Asher, and Sagez”l, whom we now remember with love. Mazel Tov on thirteen wonderful years.

Rabbi Jen, you are a gift for which we are all very grateful.

Rabbi Harold Loss, Rabbi Paul Yedwab, Rabbi Josh Bennett, Rabbi Marla Hornsten, Rabbi Jen Lader, Rabbi Arianna Gordon, Cantor Michael Smolash, and Cantor Neil Michaels

RELIGIOUS SERVICES (CONTINUED)

IT’S TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT THE HIGH HOLY DAYSWHICH SERVICE IS RIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILY? Adult Services are for adults and young adults who have attained Bar/Bat Mitzvah age.

Family Services are recommended for children who are 8 years old and above (or reading age) along with their parents and grandparents who are Temple Israel members. There will be a “Family Friendly” service for members eight and older on Kol Nidre. The service will be 7:15 - 8 pm in Korman Hall. This will be the ONLY Family Service on Kol Nidre.

Children’s Services are geared to non-readers and their families and are recommended for children 8 years and under, along with parents and grandparents.

YIZKOR (MEMORIAL) AND NEILAH (CONCLUDING) SERVICESOur integrated Yizkor/Neilah Service will begin at 5:15 pm and conclude at 6:30 pm. Please do not bring a prayer book as one will be provided. An important aspect of the Yizkor service will be our Memorial Booklet. The names of those who have passed away on or since last Yom Kippur will be listed. Please note that these names will not be read aloud. It is important that we have the correct names. If you have a loved one whose name should be listed in this Memorial Booklet we urge you to contact the Temple office at 248-661-5700 or in advance of Rosh Hashanah to confirm the spelling of the name.

HIGH HOLY DAY GUEST PASSES Guest passes for visiting out-of-town family only will be available on request if seats are available. ALL families who wish to bring out-of-town guests to a High Holy Day service MUST complete and submit a Guest Request Form. Forms are mailed with your High Holy Days ticket information. Guest pass selections will be distributed on a first requested basis. Requests for guest passes may necessitate your entire family being changed to a more available service.

Tickets will only be mailed to those requesting them. Requests must be completed by each family. Tickets will be mailed near the end of August.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSHOW DO I REQUEST TICKETS? WHEN WILL I GET MY FORMS? Please look for your High Holy Days ticket request information mid July. Online registration will be open in conjunction with receipt of the mailing. Services are processed on a first come, first served basis. A ticket request must be received to process your High Holy Days service selection.

WHEN WILL MY HIGH HOLY DAYS TICKETS ARRIVE? Watch your mailbox near the end of August for your tickets.

HOW DO WE REGISTER FOR BABYSITTING DURING THE HIGH HOLY DAYS SERVICES? A sitter service for children one year of age and older will be available at all High Holy Day services, except Children’s Services, BY ADVANCE REGISTRATION ONLY. Complete the Babysitting Request Form online after you receive your High Holy Days tickets.

HOW DO I ATTEND THE YOM KIPPUR STUDY SESSIONS? Complete the Study Session Form that will arrive with your High Holy Days tickets.

HOW IS OUT OF TOWN SEATING REQUESTED? If you will be out of town for the holidays and would like us to arrange for courtesy seating at another reform temple, please complete the RECIPROCITY REQUEST FORM online (available July 1). We will make every effort to secure reciprocity for Temple Israel members. For a list of reform congregations in your desired location, visit http://congregations.urj.org. Reciprocity is never easy at the last moment, so please complete the online form as early as possible.

ALL DAY ON YOM KIPPUR, INCLUDING SPECIAL AFTERNOON “MINCHA MOMENTS” SERVICE Spiritually moving and intellectually stimulating study sessions will lead directly into our beautiful Yom Kippur Afternoon Service. Afternoon Mincha Moments services begin at 3:30 pm.

ALTERNATING SERMONS When you come to our services on Kol Nidre, you will take a seat in either the Sanctuary or Herman Hall. The next day, those who were in the Sanctuary will worship in Herman Hall, and vice versa. This will allow you to worship with all our clergy and to hear each of the sermons.
