Dear friends, This Fall season we are perhaps more than ever

aware of the fact that we still live in uncertain times and a perilous world. Yet we must continue with our personal lives, doing the best we can to create safety, opportunity, warmth and shelter for our loved ones and ourselves.

One of the places of shelter that can help us navi­gate the challenges of our time is the synagogue. Our Temple community offers fellowship, times for com­munal celebration and reflection, a place to pray and study, a safe environment in which we and our chil­drencan explore and deepen our Judaism and our Jewish values.

Our doors are open every Alday night. Our shabbat services offer something for everyone on a weekly basis. It has been said that it has not been the Jewish people who have kept the shabbat throughout count­less generations, but that it has been the shabbat that has been the deciding factor in the survival of the Jewish people.

In times of uncertainty the peace and pleasure of shabbat observance is our Jewish shelter par excel­lence. Set aside Friday evening for a family meal. Make it special. Welcome the shabbat by lighting can­dles, and reciting blessings over wine or juice and challah. Serve something yummy and spend time talk­ing with your children or your spouse or the friend you have invited. Make it a weekly ritual rather than some­thing you do occasionally when you feel like it or when you have guests. Observe shabbat for yourself because you are Jewish and you deserve that luxurious hour of holy time each week. Make it a priority.

If you are not a regular shul goer, try to come once a month. If you have children, bring them! Children need ritual, prayer, Jewish melodies and Torah treats on a regular basis. Let them fall asleep if they need to, have them bring a book or a toy if they want to, but bring them into our sanctuary regularly and let them experienceshabbat.

Shabbat is beckoning every week with its promise of joy and rest from the never -ending demands of modem life. It has provided shelter throughout the centuries. It offers the same to us.

See you on shabbat,

- R.aJJu M~..e. q~

PRESIDEm .ESSIGE I am very pleased to announce that we have received nearly $16,000 towards our Temple renovation pro­

jects from over 35 family members. As you can see, we have completed the replacement of the carpet in the sanctuary, small meeting room, and Rabbi's office as well as having the three restrooms totally renovated. Your financial support is greatly appreciated and, of course, was much needed.

I am hoping that those of you who have yet to make your pledge will do so as we still have some out­standing bills and there are still a number of upcoming projects that we are hoping to do as the funds become available. We need the support of each and every member to maintain our wonderful facility and grounds. Please give if you have not already done so. Thank you. -Laurie Leventhal

Dear friends, As I am writing this note, tomorrow will be my last day as the Executive Secretary of Temple

Sholom. lt is hard for me to believe that I have been working here for three years and nine months. It truly seems as if I just began a few weeks ago.

Many have asked why I am leaving. I am not retiring. I am simply moving on to other pursuits. Many of you know that I am an author. When my three historical Christian novels were republished and repackaged as a trilogy last year, a whirlwind of activity began in my life. Opportunities to speak to all sorts of civic, school, and religious organizations came to me. Since I have always greatly enjoyed speaking as well as writing, I began to have to pick and choose which opportunities I could take, while still juggling my responsibilities as secretary here and as pastor's wife in our own church.

Mter much prayer and introspection, I decided to take a step of faith and resign my position with Temple Sholom thereby freeing up time to pursue the other options now open to me.

lt is with sadness that I say goodbye to all of you, but with excitement toward what the future holds. I feel that I have made many lasting friendships among the congregation here, and I will truly miss all of you. I am so grateful for having had the opportunity to serve this congregation. I came to you in January of 1999 knowing very little about the beliefs and practices of Reform Judaism. I leave a rich­er person for all I have learned. You ALL have been patient teachers and friends. I am in your debt.

It has been my great privilege to work with Diane Smith, your new Temple Executive Secretary, these past two weeks. Diane brings lots of expertise and experience to this position. I know you will enjoy getting to know her. She is a strong addition to the Temple support staff.

In closing, I wish to express my gratitude to all of you for all the kindnesses shown me over these years; May-God richly bless you is my prayer. I know we will see each other in the community, so this is-not "goodbye," ,but rather "I'll see you later."

YOUTH GROUP and RELIGIOUS SCHOOL

RWGIIIS SCHOll I_ Our Religious School 2002-2003 year is off to a nice

start. We had a wondetful turnout for our High Holiday Preview and Brunch. The building and the decorating of the Sukkot and pizza dinner was a huge success. Thanks to all who helped.

A few dates to keep in mind are October 12 and November 16 - Shabbat Morning Minyan & Brunches. Another important date is October 13. There will be no Religious School for the children. Instead, there is a Parent Teachers' Training, and all Religious School par­ents are encouraged to attend. Also, please keep in mind our annual Hanukkah Shabbat Dinner and Service, which is scheduled for December 6. We are looking for some volunteers. Please let Millie or Joe know if you are inter­ested.

In the past, the Religious School has always provided a snack during our Sunday sessions. This year we will be doing things a little differently. We are asking Temple members or Religious School families to graciously offer to donate food and juice towards our snack efforts. We will be storing items in the Religious School storage room. Feel free to send items with your child or drop them off at the Temple office. Please note that we have one child with an allergy to nuts. All donations would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that we have 21 stu­dents.

Thanks to the parents who continually offer their time and energies helping with the activities and functions, which make our Religious School the wonder that it is.

- Millie Archer & Joe lite, Religious School Co-chairs

IUUDIH CI.ES EARLY THIS YEAR Don't miss the Festival of lights, which starts on the

Friday evening after Thanksgiving (November 29). Of course, there will be an extra festive Hanukkah shabbat service that evening at 8 PM.

But the big Hanukkah dinner and celebration is sched­uled for the last night of Hanukkah, Friday evening December 6. It will be an early dinner followed by ser­vices and a program by the Religious School students. More information will follow.

JIIIOR YOm GROI. Temple Sholom is in the process of organizing a

Junior Youth Group for Jewish youth in grades 6, 7 and 8. Diana Schneider has volunteered to be the coordinator this year. For more information and to offer parental assistance, please contact Diana at 399-3527.

JEWISH CHILDREn .I.a The Religious School Committee has purchased a

large number of brand new children's books for the Temple library. They are primarily geared towards pri­mary grades and represent the latest trends in Jewish pub­lishing for children.

JEWISH LllGMBE CI.IEI

il"C,17 T • -I

AilYAH. "Going up" to read from the Torah, also immigration to Israel.

People called to recite the blessings before and after a portion of the Torah is read are said to receive an aliyah. Literally, the word a/iyah means, "ascending," so it is taken to indicate the actual physical act of ascending the bimah, the "platform" where the Torah is read But it did not mean that originally as synagogues did not have raised platforms in antiquity. Originally, the verbal form of aliyah, oleh meaning "one who ascends," was used in the idiom oleh haminyan, meaning "be included in the counting." Thus, a person who received an a/iyah was just someone who was included in the count of those called to the Torah.

Today, we use the word aliyah to refer to the act of ris­ing to stand near the Torah as it is read, and we think of ourselves - at least metaphorically - as replicating the act of receiving the Torah, climbing the bimah the way Moses climbed Mount Sinai. We thus ascend spiritually as well, to a higher level of existence and expectation.

SOCIAL ACTION PROGRAMMING

I.-I. ..... IWS Justice-Action-Mercy has been

making news in a big way. The September 6th headline in the

Springfield News-Sun read "City preschoolers can get Head Start." Sherri Lookner, president and CEO of the Child Development Centers said: "We're particularly excited about this one because it's a real partnership with the Springfield City Schools. We feel it's a real progressive step in the right direction." She particularly credited Superintendent Scott Spears and Springfield and Clark County Justice, Action, Mercy ...

The. headline of TCC News (Clark County-Springfield Transportation Coordinating Committee) Summer 2002 issue read "Job Access and Reverse Commute Transit Grant." Clark County has applied through the City of Springfield for a $25,000 JARC Grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). These federal funds will be combined with the local match of $25,000 from the Clark County Dept. of Job and Family Services. These funds will be targeted to provide transportation to the low­income adults. It is felt that this group has suffered from a lack of transporta­tion options and that these funds will increase this group's access to jobs.

You should be very proud of the efforts of a small group of Temple members who have been working very hard, along with other J.A.M. congre­gations, to bring these major improve­ments to our community. These are issues that you brought forward in last fall's One to One listening campaign. WJIen you are asked to participate in this fall's Listening Campaign, please say"CERfAINLY."

ILIDD DD ••• IEEDED The newspaper and television

have issued an appeal for donations of all blood types to shore up a local supply that has dropped to low levels. Some commonly used guidelines for giving blood are:

• You should be between 17 and 76 years of age in good health, feeling well and weigh at least 110 Ibs. • Your oral temperature should be no higher than 99.5 degrees. • Your pulse should be between 50 and 100 beats per minute. • Your blood pressure should be within 110-160160-90.

Donating blood is good for the nation and for you. You should space blood donations at least two months apart

The goal for Temple Sholom is eight donations per year. Judy Kossoff and Itzca Zohar have been very faithful , but they need some assistance. May we add your name to the list of donors? The commu­nity will thank you. Please phone (937) 399-2611 for an appointment.

Tuesday evening November 26 7 PM

Christ Episcopal Church 409 East High Street, Springfield

Temple Sholom is proud to be among the founding congregations of this annual community Thanks­giving service. All Temple mem­bers are encouraged to attend and thus support interfaith worship in our city.

We will join members of the other sponsoring congregations (Covenant Presbyterian Church, St. Raphael'S/St. Joseph's Parish, The Assumption of the Blessed Mary Greek Orthodox Church, and The An-Nur Islamic Center) at Christ Episcopal Church for a joy­ful service followed by a dessert reception. It is most likely that Rabbi Gevirtz will be the speaker.

It is our tradition to ask for a vol­untary contribution to a local chari­table organization at this service.
