From the Rabbi

Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz Senior Rabbi

An excerpt from Rabbi Bodney-

Halasz’s first sermon as Senior Rabbi

Tonight the three of us (Rabbi Sobo,

Courtney and I) unpack our bags and

make ourselves comfortable in this

space. Metaphorically, we are taking

our shoes off, sitting down, and

breaking in the couch. It may sound

weird to unpack now, as some of us

have occupied this space for more

than a decade, but it isn’t. Because

tonight everything feels different.

Tonight, our house becomes a home

for all of us.

So how does this happen? What makes

a house a home? A house may

provide shelter, but a home is where

you weather all of life’s storms.

Creating a home is about the

connections made within it and the

safety experienced in those

connections. I’d like to tell you about

the home we are building here. Our

home is open to conversations, both

difficult and easy, in which we

encourage and challenge one another.

In our home we give honor to our

history and to those in our community

who built that history. There are

moments when it is noisy and others

when it is silent, but our doors are

always open for friends and family.

Our rooms are filled with rituals that

are uniquely ours and the walls are

colored by dings, scratches, and flaws.

And there is an endless to-do list. But

our home also smells of great food and

is filled with comfy corners, family

heirlooms, and meaningful collections.

Most importantly, it is filled with more

than 150 years of memories and is

waiting for us to continue making even

more life-sustaining memories.

To me, creating a home is about

building a relational culture within a

structure that already exists. Many of

you know that creating a relational

culture is at the heart of my Judaism

and my rabbinate. Our tradition has

always been about community. We

learn from our liturgy that we must

have community to pray, to mourn,

and even to appreciate good food. It

teaches of the need to understand one

another and value one another. This

is how we create memories and

transform our space to one of

comfort, stability, and safety.

I want to thank you all for being a part

of this community and for this warm

and welcoming homecoming tonight.

I feel as if tonight’s service is the

mezuzah-hanging following the

unpacking of my bags. It is the night in

which we remind each other of the

values we promise to uphold when we

live in this space together.

Let me tell you what this means to me

personally. I am honored to guide

each of you through your Jewish

journeys, whether you are discovering

Judaism, returning to Judaism,

questioning Judaism, or reaffirming

Judaism. I find deep meaning and

purpose helping others to experience

the richness of Jewish tradition. I am

excited to be there with you during

the most celebratory moments of

your lives… birth, adoption, being

called to the Torah, weddings, and

milestone anniversaries. But, I am also

prepared to stand with you and walk

the path with you in difficult times as

well--at times of sickness, death, and

lost relationships. You see, to be a

part of a community does not mean

only being present for joy and

celebration. Rather, it means being

with you when you get the difficult

phone calls from your children, your

parents, and your doctors, or even

waiting for the call that never comes.

Even at these moments-- no,

especially at these moments, we

need to be there for each other.

And I will be there for you, as will

Rabbi Sobo, to make sure that your

rabbinical needs are being met. But

we may also initiate those difficult

moments as well, by bringing

conversations to the surface that

need to be addressed, as this is also

part of human and spiritual growth.

But our home is not on an island.

We live in a neighborhood. And we

have responsibilities to the

community in which we live as well

as to our own family. Just as I am

prepared to step forward in the

difficult moments of your lives in our

synagogue, I am prepared to stand up

during the good and trying times in

our Dayton community, Jewish and

non-Jewish. All of us on the bima

tonight are committed to this

community. It is our city. Some of

you may not be aware but by the end

of the month all three of us will have

Dayton area zip codes. Just like you,

this is our home. What happens on

the streets and in our neighborhoods

matters to us. Hunger, poverty,

untreated mental illness, children

without access to quality education…

your problems are also our

problems. We are all invested.

I have to tell you… I wanted to make

tonight about happiness and joy,

optimism and progress. But the

world I live in is bigger than this

sanctuary. And it is hurting so badly

right now. We turn on the news or

get on social media and all we see is

blood being spilt. It would be wrong

for me to share only in the levity of

this day and not to bear witness to

the world in which we all live. Who

would ever have imagined that our

world could be so darkened? That

70 years after the Holocaust still we

must watch as people are killed for

who they love, what they look like,

News and Events

Thanks Summer Lay Leaders!

Thank you to all our lay summer service leaders, who led us so beautifully in

services this summer. The range of perspectives on the Torah portion and

even on the service itself is always enlightening. Thanks to: Lonnie

Carpenter, Nancy Cohen, Katherine Cooper, Sara Faust, Carol Graff, Judi

Guggenheimer, Judy Heller, Karin Hirschkatz, Amy Margolin, Lake Miller, Rita

Rich, Fran Rickenbach, Lee Schatzly, Richard Saphire, and Teresa Wyman.

Dayton’s GUCI Campers Have Fun In The Sun

Campers from Temple Israel and Beth Or enjoyed their time at GUCI in Indiana during camp’s second session.

Pictured above (left to right) Julian Doninger, Talia Doninger, Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz, Grant Halasz, Benny Caruso, Julia

Caruso, Sam Caruso, Rabbi Judy Chessin, Claire Sabin, Maddie Gruenberg, Gavi Ballaban. Not pictured: Kahlil Knick

and what they believe. And our light

-bearers are now fewer than ever.

It was just this past Shabbat that Elie

Wiesel, renowned Holocaust

survivor, died at age 87. Wiesel

taught us that “the opposite of love is

not hate, it's indifference,” and that

“there may be times when we are

powerless to prevent injustice, but there

must never be a time when we fail to

protest.” We, like Wiesel and others

who came before us, must learn to

bear light even in darkness, to find

courage when we feel fear, to find

faith when we experience doubt.

Tonight, a darkness falls upon our

house, but our home must radiate

light. We must believe in our world

and in one another, so that we, as a

community, can work to make the

world what we pray it will someday

become. That is what it means to

have a Jewish home.

Food Drive

Last year at Rosh Hashanah Rabbi

Bodney-Halasz spoke about hunger in

the Ohio Valley. Though we do not

often see it or recognize it when we

do, hunger is a serious problem in

our area. One in six households in

Ohio face food insecurity and here, in

our own backyard. Dayton has

become one of the ten worst cities in

the country in terms of food

hardship. Thousands of people reside

in "food deserts," with limited access

to full-service grocery stores and

affordable and nutritious food. Last

year Temple Israel’s response to the

Yom Kippur Food Drive was

exceptional. We collected and

donated more than 1000 pounds of

nutritious food to The Foodbank,

providing 850 meals. As we begin to

think of the New Year and the role

each of us plays in this world, let us

open our eyes to recognize that the

problem of hunger has not

disappeared over the last year and

our efforts are still greatly needed.

May the food we would normally

consume on Yom Kippur once again

be used to feed hungry families in our

hometown.

From the Rabbi Educator

Rabbi Tina Sobo Jerome Epstein Family Director

of Education

A rabbinic maxim states: “All

beginnings are hard.” (Rashi on

Shemot 19:5, Tosafot Taanit 10b, and

other locations). As I begin my

tenure here at Temple Israel, in

some ways, this maxim has held true.

I am learning about Dayton, the I-75

construction, and am getting settled

in a new area and a new

congregation. At the same time,

with much gratitude to the

generosity and welcoming nature of

the Temple Israel family, this

beginning has not been so hard. My

family and I have met many

congregants, gotten to explore the

area, have had some great restaurant

and area-attraction

recommendations. Dayton is already

feeling very much like home. I want

to take this opportunity to invite

anyone who I have not yet had the

chance to meet, to introduce

themselves. I am eager to meet

everyone in the community.

The summer months here at Temple

are full of planning for the upcoming

year. In addition to building

relationships with Temple families, I

am excitedly planning for the

beginning of the religious school year,

which is fast approaching. One of my

passions in Judaism is the process of

bettering oneself through the study

and practice of middot, Jewish values.

I plan to bring this passion into our

religious school throughout the year,

spending time learning about

different values together. I also plan

to continue working with the

Mitkadem Hebrew curriculum, while

introducing and experimenting with

different modalities of Hebrew

language acquisition that ought to

enhance learning with a sense of

playfulness. I look forward to

sharing many updates as to our

learning throughout the year.

I am excited to celebrate the

opening of school with an Open

House on Wednesday,

September 7 at 6:00 p.m. Parents

and students are invited to meet me

and their teachers. Come with

energy and any questions you may

have. I’ll be around beforehand to

chat over a brown bag dinner before

the official programming of the

evening begins. Please make sure to

submit all registrations and

madrichim applications as soon as

possible.

Please save the date for our

Religious School’s Day of Learning

that is currently planned for Sunday,

December 4. Our Day of Learning

will engage students of all ages

through study, interactive activities

and more as we take a deeper look

into some of Judaism’s most central

values. More information to come!
