Aaronion The
Stories Becoming Midrash
Midrashim are the stories that our sages told to fill in our biblical canon. Most notably, the story of Abraham destroying his father’s idols in an effort to teach monotheism. Midrash is crucial to understanding the bible, Jewish law and the history of our people. Of course, the stories are important as well for history, tradition and customs. We share stories with each other in order to feel a part of each other’s lives and learn more about backgrounds and perspectives.
When I arrived at Temple of Aaron, I first began to bring in scholars and educators. I learned that the stories behind these educators were equally as important as their teachings. For example, we hosted Dr. Alan Cooper. Yes, he is a bible professor, but it was his journey as a musician at Woodstock to teaching bible that grabbed your attention. Last year, we hosted Dr. Aviva Zornberg, whose journey
as a modern day female biblical expert opened a feminist perspective into the Torah that some had been unable to access before hearing her.
There are also stories that help us grow and learn as people. This year we will be exploring those voices. In January, we will host the Honorable Alan Page for a Shabbat and comedian Judy Gold will play our Adult Purim party in March. But first, we welcome Julie Heldman for our first Crossriver Events program at Saint Thomas. Heldman was a mainstay for the Virginia Slims Original 9 playing tennis amongst the greatest females in the world including Billie Jean King. She rose as high as fifth in the world. And while the tennis icon and women’s empowerment pioneer excelled on the court, off the court she battled abuse and bi-polar disorder. Her new book, Driven: A Daughter’s Odyssey, is the story of her journey overcoming adversity. I hope people will join us Thursday, November 14 at 7:00 pm for this incredible event. Tickets are available on EventBrite.
Stories like Heldman’s add to modern day midrash: the stories of the Jewish people and the world around us. From these stories we fill in the gaps of missing voices and provide insight into the worlds we do not know.
See you in shul! Rabbi Jeremy Fine

Showing Our Gratitude
Thanksgiving. A time of year that I believe holds a special place in many of our hearts. I, like many I know, had the tradition of going around the table and on that Thursday evening and saying all the things that I was grateful for having in my life. Most years it was filled with the usual list; my family, friends, food, shelter and clothes. However, as we continued this custom the words seemed to lose the true sense of appreciation. It is with this realization that April and I have been committed to not only saying that we are grateful but by showing we are grateful during this time of year and truly all year around. This month of November is filled with opportunities to make a difference in Hashem’s world. On November 3rd will be the annual Temple of Aaron blood drive. I hope that you will join me in attempting to fulfill the mitzvah of pekuach nefesh — saving a life. On November 17th, we will pilot the first of our new programs called: Mission Mitzvah. For this program we will provide opportunities around the Twin Cities to perform acts of loving kindness in partnership with fantastic organizations. In the morning we will have the opportunity to help prepare a breakfast meal with House of Charity. Our teens will be making special notes and packages for residents of Sholom and hand delivering them. Then in the afternoon we will partner with Sholom East by taking part in their Harvest Pack program starting at 2pm. Show our gratitude for the food that we are blessed to have by providing a sandwich to a member of the homeless community. On Shabbat morning after services on November 23rd will be our next date for making sandwiches. Our first two sandwich making opportunities yielded a total of 300 sandwiches being made. Lastly, we can show gratitude to for our health. The entire month of November is a month that is set aside by some to raise awareness for men’s health. I recall the first no shave November I participated in while in college. While I was personally healthy, I know that when I encountered people my own age who had been dealing with health issues they felt so touched by my standing in solidarity. I hope that we will all do the same this month. This month we will be raising awareness by members of our community deciding to either donate or grow a mustache for the entirety of the month of November. This is a particular cause that our own Joel and Howie Paper are committed to and I hope that we will all support them. If you are interested in donating to Joel’s team please donate whatever you can using this link https://mobro.co/joelpaper?mc=1. May this November, we all show our gratitude to our creator by attempting to make Hashem’s world a better place. Kol Tuv, Rabbi Micah Miller

Join Cantor/Educator Fineblum for a five-week Torah reading class where you learn the notes and intricacies of reading from the Sifrei Torah.
Ritual Conversation with Rabbi Fine November 9 & 23 Rabbi Fine will explore ritual conversations and discussion that could deeply impact the Temple of Aaron community directly. Through law and social dynamics together, we will examine ToA’s ritual future.
Save the Date: Mission Mitzvah November 17, 2019 “The mitzvot were given only in order to purify human beings,” Genesis Rabbah. Observing the mitzvot can allow us to improve ourselves, to make us better people — more caring, more loving, more concerned. Their intrinsic value is to show us how to walk humbly with God. Join Temple of Aaron as we perform mitzvot across the Twin Cities at various partner organizations. More details coming soon. Please see weekly for specific time and location information.
Each day, during the morning service, we begin with the words Modeh Ani, “I give thanks.” What does it really mean to give thanks and have gratitude?
During the past months with all the enhancements and advancements we’ve made in the school, I want to give gratitude and thanks to all of those who were involved. Thank you to parents who, as our partners, helped us along the way in helping us to create a more structured yet fun environment for our students. Thank you to our synagogue board leaders who were active in the smooth transition, especially Margie Schneider and Emily Paper, and President Steve Kafitz. Thank you to our students and our teachers who have made it all come to fruition. During this month of giving thanks, thank you all for your assistance in making what we do for our children come to be.
To begin this month of November, we are having our fourth annual “Take Stock” in our youth fundraiser.
Previously we have held a casino night, heard performances from past play cast members, and put on a Veterans Day talent show last year. This year we will hold a fun trivia brunch for everyone to participate in and a dance party for our youth. All of the funds raised from this program go to ensure that our fun holiday programming continue, that we help fundraise to fill the gap between tuition and actual costs, and to help enhance the school in any way deemed necessary including security, technology, and more.
Toda Raba to all of those who have “Taken Stock” in our youth in the past and have already committed for this year. Please be our partners in supporting our youth and contact the office if you wish to help ensure that we continue to build our synagogue and create meaningful experiences for the future leaders of our community.

My first two years of High Holidays at Temple of Aaron, I knew something was missing but couldn’t figure out what it was. On the very gloomy first day of Rosh Hashanah this year, as I made my right turn onto Hartford, I realized exactly what was missing.
As many of you already know, I grew up in a traditional Jewish home outside of Skokie and West Rogers Park. We lived a few blocks from our shul, and our minhag (tradition) was to walk those several blocks regardless of the weather. On the High Holidays, it seemed like the whole community walked together to their respective shuls. Whether we knew each other or not, we’d exchange “Gut Yontif” and “Chag Sameach” as we passed. I remember the incredible power, comfort, and pride in being a part of this community. In knowing that you aren’t alone — that there is whole community of people like you. We’d spend Yontif (and Shabbat) afternoons with close family friends, sharing lunch together, playing together, growing together, and being Jewish together. It’s funny that when we are children, we are told to hold onto these moments and good memories because as adults we will long for them. Hold onto the bubble, because as we all know, bubbles are ephemeral.
Throughout adulthood, I’ve tried to choose housing within reasonable walking distance from a synagogue. Unfortunately it’s not always doable or affordable. I’ll admit, I’m a part of this change from walking to driving. While we purchased a house
in Mac-Groveland, we are just outside of a comfortable and real ist ic walk ing distance. Gd willing, one day, we will have children of our own. I wonder with whom in our neighborhood can we spend Shabbat? With whom in our neighborhood can we arrange Shabbat and Yontif playdates? How will we teach our children traditional minhags i f we o u rs e l v e s d o n ’ t partake and model them? Oh, somedays, how I long for the bubble.

JFCS and NCJW host bi-partisan Better Angels Debate on Tuesday November 12 from 6:00 until 8:30 pm
Better Angels is a bi-partisan citizens’ movement designed to unify our divided nation. People of all political leanings are welcome and encouraged to attend. We value diverse opinions and viewpoints. Come and meet your community, learn something new, and share your views in a safe and respectful space.
The Better Angels Debate is a highly structured conversation in which a group of people think together and listen carefully to one another. When done well, everyone walks out a little closer to the truth, more aware of the validity in opposing views, and with tighter community relationships. Attendees of the event will select the topic of the debate prior to Nov. 12 in an online survey. The potential debate topics are all taken from current events that impact our political and social lives.
How is the debate process structured?
The debate will take place in an environment of decorum and respect. We ask participants to behave respectfully toward one another (no matter their views), whether they’re speakers or questioners, or are simply there to listen. The conversation grows and develops through a series of speeches supporting or opposing the resolution. After a participant speaks, the Chair asks for one or two questions from the body. The speaker responds to the questions and another speaker takes the floor.
While people are encouraged to support or oppose the resolution in order to sharpen their points, they are welcome to express nuance and ambiguity. What’s critical is that people articulate what they actually believe, even if it’s complicated or incomplete. Trained Better Angels facilitators will be moderating the debate.
Registration and completion of this brief survey is required: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwfc4L29aBcMlkpoOCuExIkU61P0Zaf7BNPNNDVfgFtZ9Nxg/viewform
The location of the debate will be provided once you RSVP. Light refreshments will be served. The event will be capped at 30 people. Register early to secure your spot. Contact Leah Persky, JFCS Family Life Education Manager, at 952-542-4825 or [email protected] with questions.
Vision Speaker Hen Mazzig — November 2 Hen Mazzig is a speaker, writer, and activist who was formerly an officer for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) where he served in the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) unit. His family has North African, Jewish-Berber roots, with his grandparents immigrating to Israel from Tunisia in the 1950s. Mazzig has spoken on college campuses about his experiences as an openly gay soldier in the IDF. In his speeches, Mazzig names his life’s most significant event — and inspiration for joining the IDF — as a 12-year-old witnessing a Palestinian suicide bombing of a grandmother and granddaughter.
Social Action November 23 Take a moment on Shabbat to do your part to help repair the world.
Throughout the coming year we will have a monthly Social Action project offered on select Shabbatot. For the
month of September we will be making sandwiches that will be distributed by the “Minneapolis
Sandwich Guy.” Take a few minutes to help better our larger community.

Balancing a Budget
The Temple of Aaron Board of Directors has made sure we balance the operating expenses and operating revenues for 35 straight years. Our leaders are far more responsible than members of Congress. We work very hard to stay within our financial abilities and Clergy/Support Staff carefully watch expenses.
Members value the synagogue in different ways. Their generous support of dues and tuition and creation of endowments produces 87 percent of our needed revenue on an annual basis. Then, we have six areas that people value and support to strengthen Temple of Aaron’s foundation to help members of all ages: Shabbat Lunch Fund, Annual Entertainment Fundraiser, High Holyday Appeal, Security Fund, Yahrzeit Fund and United Synagogue Membership.
Once a year we ask for donations for annual entertainer, High Holyday Appeal, Security, and USCJ our national association. On a monthly basis, we ask for people to honor their loved ones with a yahrzeit donation. Shabbat community building concludes with lunch each week and we need monthly donations to sustain this very successful event. The average cost per person per week is $13 to cover food, kitchen labor and compostable plates, napkins, utensils, cups and table covers.
We are grateful for our generous members sharing time, ideas and financial support. Temple of Aaron is lucky to have seven dedicated Officers leading the Executive Committee and Board of Directors: President Stevan Kafitz, Executive Vice President Barry Divine, Treasurer Roxanne Portnoy, Secretary Mark Divine, Vice President Alan Bernick, and Vice President Wendy Baldinger.

Our families lost 11 irreplaceable, beautiful Jewish souls. The sorrow and agony was deeply personal and unending. Through your unwavering support, you showed us that we are all one in our sorrow. You showed that the mindless hate that stole our loved ones has no place in America. Thank you for showing us that we are one Community – one Jewish, one interfaith, one Pittsburgh, one country, and one world. We are truly stronger together.truly stronger together.
We, the families of the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting, want to thank you for your support and love over the past year.
