Temple Shalom Bulletin

William and Charlotte Bloomberg Jewish Community Center

Entering a synagogue can be an intimidating experience, especially if you don't know anyone or are unfamiliar with the service. More than a few people at our services this year were first-timers at Temple Shalom. We lived up to our name, as these folks were given a warm welcome of Shalom. I am constantly impressed with how quickly our members greet newcomers, sit with them and

develop true friendships.

According to Dr. Ron Wolfson, author of Rela-tional Judaism, it is the depths of relationships that a synagogue fosters which is the main factor of its success, even more so than programming or ser-vices. This could certainly be seen at our Rosh Ha-shanah lunches and Yom Kippur Break-Fast, when so many people stayed not just for the great food, but also for the opportunity to connect to so many

others.

This new year, we have much to be proud of and thankful for, but most of all we should take pride in the depth of our welcome, which comes from a genuine place of interest and concern for everyone

who walks though our doors.

-Rabbi David

This October is unusual, as Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot have already past. This gives me the opportunity to reflect on our High Holiday season together. It was wonderful to have so many of you participate in services this year, including some who blew shofar, leyned Torah, or even took an aliyah for the first time. We had meaningful services and

wonderful programs for families with young children.

What I want to reflect on now is not our services, our program, or our beautiful facility. What I am most proud about from this High Holidays is our commitment to Chanasat Orchim - the mitzvah of welcoming guests. The importance of this mitzvah is

summed up in these words from the Talmud:

Rav Dimi of Nehardea said: Hachnasat orchim

– the welcoming of guests -

takes precedence over the beit midrash – the

house of study.

Rav Judah said in Rav’s name: Hachnasat or-

chim – the welcoming

of guests – takes precedence over welcoming

the shechina, the divine presence of God her-

self. (Shabbat 127a)

Message from the President

Once again we are starting a new year and I’m happy to say that things are going really well. Three events support this belief. The first took place at the end of last fiscal year. Due to a perfect storm of building expenses - the AC, the electric pole, the heating system malfunctioning - we found ourselves very quickly eating into our savings. In addition, because of increased general expenses, our annual expenses were exceeding our income. So the Finance Committee and the Board concluded we had to raise dues. I stood before many of you at the June congregational meeting and asked you to increase the amount of money you give to Temple Shalom over the next three years. It was not a small amount of money we were asking for and I didn’t think the motion would pass easily. It passed unanimously. Everyone attending voted to raise dues. I then asked those who could afford it to give even more. Many of our longer term members pledged to give more and many who had been members for only 1 or 2 or 3 years also pledged to give more. People in between those two extremes did the same. And while I haven’t asked anyone individually why they did it, I know the reason. It’s because whether you’ve been a member for 1 year or 50 years, Temple Shalom is meaningful to you and we tend to support what is meaningful to us. So as long as Temple Shalom, our community, has meaning and value to us, I

know we’ll be fine.

The second reason I know we’re doing well: The Sunday after Rosh HaShanah was the first day of Hebrew School. I sat in the sanctuary with Benjamin and the usual people came in, the other children and parents in his class and who had been in the school last year. And then more people came in, families who had joined just this past year. Children just kept running in every time I looked around. We have 28 children in our Hebrew School this year, from preschool to fourth grade. Four years ago, we had 3 children in our school. Educating our children is a cornerstone of Judaism. The Shema tells us, “Teach these words again and again to your children.” As appropriate, schools in synagogues are not solely funded by tuition. Every one of us who contributes money to Temple Shalom helps pay for our Hebrew School. When you have a community that supports its children and their education, you’ve ensured the next generation of the

Jewish people.

The third reason I’m feeling good about our community: During lunch after Rosh HaShanah services - (the food, of course, was amazing as usual and there were over 100 people enjoying the New Year together!) - I sat down with someone who has been a member for a long time here. She said to me how wonderful it was that there were so many new faces. In fact, so many new members joined us, that it’s hard to meet everyone. As long as we keep getting excited

about new members, then we’ll continue to do well.

About a year ago, I read an article in USCJ's magazine entitled “Ten Truths of Synagogue Life” by Rabbi Adam Raskin, who is Rabbi of Har Shalom in Maryland. Two items on his list caught my attention as pertinent to how all of us might

approach the next year.

The first was titled Membership does not necessarily translate into meaning. Rabbi Raskin explains that synagogue membership is a responsibility shared by both the synagogue staff and its members. The responsibility of the synagogue is to provide meaningful, engaging, spiritually invigorating prayer services, learning opportunities and other gatherings of significance. But it is also incumbent on members to avail themselves of these opportunities and to engage the

synagogue as a place where they connect as Jews and become inspired by the gifts of active participation.

In my time on committees and the Board, I’ve had many conversations that start with the question, “How do we get more people to services or to adult education talks or on committees?” And in general these conversations never lead to answers. Perhaps we are asking the wrong question. Our goal should not be to get more people to services but to make services more meaningful. Our goal should not be how to get more people in the door, but to make the time spent in the Temple with the community more engaging. We have some good examples here at Temple Shalom of this approach working. For one, in all the conversations I’ve had about our Hebrew School, we never worried about how many kids we had; we talked about what we wanted our children to learn and how we could create an engaging, meaningful and fun environment. The result is that today we have 28 children in our school and an active group of parents wanting to help

with their children’s Jewish education.

It is easy to fall into the trap of looking at the numbers rather than the experience. And of course it’s those quality experiences that we have created for families, for social gatherings, for education and religious practice that attract the

most people and have led to our community continuing to grow. (continued on next page)

Message from the President (Continued from previous page)

There are a lot of opportunities throughout the year to engage with each other through prayer, through social gatherings, through learning and I hope you will all avail yourselves of these opportunities. Now at Temple Shalom the synagogue staff, besides Rabbi David and Cantor Stern, is us. Our staff is our volunteers. So if meaningful, engaging, spiritually invigorating prayer services are important to you, if they excite you, by all means come to services, but also please join our Ritual Committee and help to continue to create them. If stimulating learning opportunities are important to you and what you really like attending please help make them happen by working with our Adult Education Committee. If having social gatherings where children and adults can be together in a Jewish setting, then please volunteer to help run one of our programs and become part of the Activities Committee. If tikkun olam, helping to repair the world, helping the environment, helping others, visiting those who are ill or homebound is an important part of what Judaism is to you,

please join our Social Action Committee or Chesed/Kindness Committee.

Now I know for myself I often worry about starting something new. Will it be successful? What if I want to stop doing

it after awhile? This thought brings me to the second truth of synagogue life:

It is not your duty to complete the task, but neither are you free to desist from it. (Pirkei Avot 2:21). Paraphrasing Rabbi Raskin, it is a rare exception when a rabbi’s teachings or a president’s speech produce overwhelming changes. Much more often I witness incremental changes over time: people studying Torah more, making specific (rather than wholesale) Jewish ritual commitments, attending services more often, etc. Rather than wondering how many people have really become more involved, I believe that our work is planting seeds that will grow and blossom over time. I know that people turn on to Judaism at various life stages, and I hope that I have contributed in some way toward that

growth whether or not I see its ultimate fruition.

We join and get involved not to finish something, but to continue it. Many people in this community in past years have sat on committees, served on the Board , and filled offices. I’m sure they had the same conversations we are having today. They planted seeds. And those of us who have joined this community more recently are grateful for their good work. Those who are involved now in the day to day running of this Temple are continuing to build on their work. I

invite newer members to join in these on going ventures and to plant new seeds of your own for the next generation.

-David

From the Board of Directors

Each month, the Board of Directors meets to discuss issues facing the synagogue and often makes important decisions that affect life

at Temple Shalom. Here is a recap of the September board meeting.

Due to the succession of holidays on Thursdays this September, this month's meeting had to be moved to a Monday. Without a quo-rum present, discussion at the meeting was limited mostly to committee reports. The most significant item was the House Commit-tee's exploration of potential savings on energy consumption. Chair Charlotte Potak reported that she recently received a quote for conversion of our four oil-fired boilers to gas. The estimated cost is no more than $37,500. Most heating seasons, we spend ap-proximately $35,000 in oil costs. After converting to gas, we could save up to 50% of that cost each year. The House Committee

will continue to explore the options.

During new business, Donna Miller initiated a discussion about our High Holidays ticket policy. She stated that the Membership Committee has been very diligent to explain to visitors and potential new members our prices for tickets, pointing out that the first year's membership dues is only slightly more. This has encouraged a number of families to join, and a number of visitors have pur-chased tickets. Many current members also purchase tickets for their visitors, but at the same time, because we don't communicate our policy clearly and we don't ask for tickets at the door, many guest join us for services without paying for tickets. We welcome all visitors to our services, and we want to find a way to welcome them in while still being fair to those who pay to attend. Donna suggested that the president should form a committee to study the issue and make recommendations regarding what our policy should be and how we should communicate it. President David Sayres agreed. He asked Donna to chair the committee and seek

input from representatives of the board of directors, the relevant committees, and the congregation at large.

There were a lot of wonderful successes to report on and thanks to give out, particularly to those who helped to make our High Holi-

days services and programs such a major success.

Board meetings happen the third Thursday of every month (unless it's a holiday) at the synagogue. The minutes of meetings are available to any member and can be accessed through the website. Meetings are also open to members, please join us.

Temple Shalom Adult Education & Social Action Committees invite you to a talk

by David Sayres, Ph.D., Researcher at Harvard University

October 20 at 3:00 p.m.

A Jewish Take on Climate Change:

What ancient texts can tell us about modern problems

Ancient texts don’t mention the use of fossil fuels, yet the idea that human action can affect the environment is a fundamental message throughout the Torah. Over the centuries people have struggled with religious views of how human beings and nature relate. David, who is currently studying climate change, will guide us through the historical record and tell us what the Torah says about our relationship with the natural world. We will end with a group discussion about how Jewish law might apply to the modern problems of global warming and

climate change.

Coffee and refreshments will be served.

Religious School is off to a great start, and we are gearing up for fun-filled Jewish learning in the month of

October! We are pleased to welcome several new families as well all as those who are returning. Our teach-

ing staff is also growing. We are delighted to welcome Maya Ball-Burack, and Hannah Steinberg, both in

their first year at Tufts University. Maya, our new Kitah Aleph teacher, is an experienced Jewish overnight

camp counselor and a former madricha (teacher’s assistant) in her home synagogue, in Berkley, CA. Maya is

fluent in Hebrew and a member of an a capella choral group on campus, already enriching the school with

Jewish songs. Hannah, our Kitah Bet teacher, is a longtime member (camper/counselor) of the Hebrew speak-

ing Camp Yavneh, affiliated with Hebrew College. Hannah is a graduate of Solomon Schechter Day School in

Harstdale, NY, where she, as a 12th grader, was a peer leader in the Tefillah (Prayer) program, Nefesh V’Goof

(Soul & Body), designing activities and discussions on prayer themes. We are, of course, thrilled to be wel-

come back Kyle Aronson, a Junior at Tufts, our Kochavim Teacher. A Brain and Cognitive Development ma-

jor who plans to attend medical school upon graduation, Kyle was an active youth group leader and a madrich

(teacher’s assistant) in his home synagogue in Santa Barbara, CA. Kyle was busy this summer taking courses

and preparing our curriculum for an expanded 2 day per week class session. We are also so pleased to have

Dori-Ann Delatizky with us this year as a substitute. Dori-Ann, a recent graduate of Wheelock College, is an

Early Childhood Educator at the Melrose YMCA Child Care Center. Dori-Ann has been busy teaching the

Gan Katan and Gan Yeladim classes, while I filled in as interim Kitah Bet Teacher. Ari Katz, our teacher’s

aide (also my son) is another new member of the Sunday program this year. A graduate of U Mass Amherst,

with a degree in Physics, Ari will also serve as a substitute teacher as needed. I have enjoyed the students in

Kitah Bet, and now I am excited to resume my role as Teacher of Gan Katan and Gan Yeladim classes, allow-

ing me more time to work with a full teaching staff.

Thank you for entrusting your children to us and for allowing us to provide them with a Jewish education. We

are fortunate to have a wonderful group of enthusiastic young learners, and we will work hard to plan interest-

ing lessons for them. Please contact me at [email protected] or call 781-576-9150, my

cell phone, to reach me with questions, comments or suggestions regarding your child’s experience in the Reli-

gious School. I am in the office on Sunday morning and Wednesday afternoon, on a weekly basis. The school

phone is 781-396-3262, ext. 107. **Volunteers Needed ** Please let me know if we can count on you as a
