From The Rabbi

Be An Ambassador For Temple Israel

If you know of an individual, a couple or a family who would enjoy all that

Temple Israel has to offer, please encourage them to contact Temple for

information or send us an e-mail at membership @tidayton.org.

We’ll take it from there!

With the completion of Simchat

Torah we find our weekly Torah

readings bringing us back to the book

of Genesis. This book is filled with

stories that are beloved by every

generation of Jews. Hearing the

creation story stimulates our wonder

at the natural universe. The events of

the Garden of Eden make us think

about our own natures. The episodes

of Noah and the Tower of Babel

cause us to ponder our behavior and

its consequences. And the patriarchal

accounts teach so much about our

Jewish identities by reminding us of

our origins. Jews have always found

sustenance and meaning in this

narrative heritage.

I mention this because I wonder if we

all still have these stories at our

fingertips. I wonder if each of us is

well-versed enough in this basic level

of our heritage. Can we still draw

upon these stories as the generations

before us could? As we face

inevitable human problems, do we

instantly relate them to the problems

our Matriarchs and Patriarchs faced?

For many of us the answer will be yes,

but honesty demands that we

recognize that for many of us the

answer will be no. As I talk to people,

I find that in spite of basic familiarity,

many are not so sure about the

details of these fundamental stories.

For many, their Jewish identity is

weakened because they lack confidence

in their knowledge.

Sometimes I am asked where someone

should begin if wanting to become

more knowledgeable Jewishly. Or I am

asked how to strengthen Jewish

identity for oneself or for one's family.

My answer is to begin with these

stories. To a large extent, Jewishness

is a matter of one's associations, both

to other Jews and to the content of

our heritage. The deeper and more

frequent the associations, the more

knowledgeable and confident we are

and the more meaningful our Judaism

becomes. The stories of Genesis, and

for that matter the rest of the Torah,

are the foundation for everything else

in Judaism. They are the beginning.

Every Jew should know them the same

way we know our address or phone

number. They should be part and

parcel of who each of us is.

Now is our opportunity since the cycle

of Torah readings is teaching Genesis

at this time of year. Come Shabbat

mornings and study them in the Torah

study class. Come to Shabbat morning

services and hear them in the Torah

reading. Learn them and let them

become woven into the fabric of your

life. Your Jewish identity will be

strengthened. You will be enriched.

Rabbi Karen N. Bodney-Halasz Jerome Epstein Family Director of Education

I wanted to take a moment simply to

say thank you. Thank you to all who

helped to make the holidays so

meaningful this year. Each one of you

played an important part in making the

High Holidays truly part of a "season

of rejoicing." Thank you especially to:

those who ascended to the bimah for

an honor, Torah and Haftarah readers,

Shofar blowers, ushers, musicians,

prayerbook distributors, greeters,

office staff, hosts of Sukkahs in the

City, Torah cover changers,

From The Rabbi/Religious School

Emergency Preparedness Training

organizers for Mr. Bush's celebration,

kitchen helpers (especially Simone

Sofian!), participants in our visioning

activity, maintenance staff, each of you

who welcomed someone you did not

recognize, and so many other

important volunteers, especially those

involved in the religious school and the

worship and music committees.

Without you Temple Israel would not

be the warm and welcoming place that

it is to so many.

Judaism values Pikuach Nefesh, saving a

life, in the highest regard. It teaches us

that we are obligated to do everything

in our power to actively save a life,

even if it is at the cost of not keeping

certain other mitzvot. On October 5,

religious school teachers and

madrichim took this to heart as they

underwent training for CPR, automatic

external defibrillator (AED) use, the

Dickstein, Gabby Frost, Merrie

Gilbert, a choking victim.

Heimlich maneuver, and First Aid. The

Religious School Committee prioritized

training this year to ensure that, if

necessary, our staff would be equipped

with the best life-saving practices

available. Thank you to Dr. Annette

Nathan for preparing these sessions.

Thank you again to Dr. Frank and

Renee Handel for their generous gift of

Temple’s AED.

We Want To Hear

From You — Call Or

Send An E-Mail! Rabbi Sofian and Rabbi Bodney-Halasz

want to reach out to congregants in

times of need and joy. Please call the

Temple office when a friend or loved

one is ill, hospitalized, in a nursing

home, assisted living facility or shut in.

Share the happy news, too—we might

not know about a marriage, birth or

other simcha unless you tell us!

Mitzvah Meals Make Difficult Times Easier

Tikkun Olam — repair of the world. Tzedakah — righteousness or charity.

These are two of Judaism’s guiding principles, and they’re the force behind

Mitzvah Meals, an initiative of Temple’s Social Action Committee designed to

lend a helping hand to those in our congregation who need it most.

“Volunteers have prepared and frozen healthy and delicious Mitzvah Meals, and

they’ll be delivered upon request to congregants who might need extra help

getting a hot meal on the table because of illness, a death in the family or the

disruption of bringing a newborn home,” says Linda Albert, Social Action

committee Co-chair.

If someone you know would benefit from a Mitzvah Meal, please contact Rabbi

Sofian or Rabbi Bodney-Halasz.

Congratulations To Mr. Bush For Twenty Years With Temple!
