As it happens, much of the “work” of TBTST and most of the planning takes place in committees. So, committee mem- bership is a great place to begin becoming involved in synagogue life. Every congregation relies on its volunteers both to work and to lead. Most committees are open to all who are interested and willing to participate. Two committees that are very in- terested in finding new, enthusias- tic members are the Membership Committee, and the Marketing and Communications Committee. Volunteers are always welcome to be part of our Tikkun Olam com- mittee, the sponsors of our enor- mously successful annual Mitzvah Day.

(gently remove this section from your Scroll and save for future reference) High Holiday Information for 2016

PLEASE NOTE: HIGH HOLIDAYS BEGIN ON OCTOBER 2ND. WE MUST HAVE YOUR TICKET INFORMATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Our traditional Conservative High Holiday services will be conducted in the Sanctuary and Social Hall by Rabbi Michael Gold and Cantor Jonathan Angress. An auxiliary service will be held in the Chapel and Library led by Irvin Nachman and Cantor Usher Bryn. This service will be somewhat abbreviated and conducted in a manner that will appeal to those who find the full, traditional service difficult to follow. Rabbi Gold will deliver his sermon at this service as well as in the Sanctuary. Seating is limited at both services and all seats will be assigned. Reservations must be made in advance so please do not delay. Pew Owners who are planning to worship with us must submit ticket request no later than July 15th. If we do not hear from you by that date, we will assume you have released your seats for the holidays. If you wish to reserve the same seat(s) you sat in last year, either in the Sanctuary, the Social Hall or the Auxiliary Service, we must receive your order and payment no later than July 15th. If you know you will not be attending High Holiday Services, please let us know as soon as possible so we can release your seats. In order to purchase a seat(s) all financial obligations to TBTST must be paid in full. We will not process ticket orders unless full payment of all outstanding obligations has been met. Holiday tickets are available for purchase by order form only. Tickets will be mailed in September. A Community Yizkor Service will be held at 3:00 pm and a Community Healing Service at 4:30pm on Yom Kippur, October 12th in the Sanctuary. Religious School services will be open to all children in grades K-6 at no charge. Youth Group services will be held also at no charge – tickets for non-members will be available at $36.

Babysitting will be available by reservation through the early childhood office. 954-722-9537 JUNE / JULY 2016 TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA'ARAY TZEDEK IYAR / SIVAN / TAMUZ 5776 2016 Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek 5777 High Holiday Ticket Order Form

24 JUNE / JULY 2016 TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA'ARAY TZEDEK IYAR / SIVAN / TAMUZ 5776 Tree of Life

The tree has always been a symbol of life and strength in the Jewish tradi- tion. The parts of the tree depend upon one another just as those in need in our community depend upon Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek for help and support.

In the same manner, Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek depends upon the generosity of our community to enable us to continue to provide that support. The Tree of Life is the perfect symbol to allow us to recognize the generous donors who, in turn, help us to continue providing necessary services to our community.

Consider honoring a friend or relative’s birthday, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, anniversary, etc. or using this as a memorial gift. By purchasing a leaf for the Tree of Life, you will not only be helping the Tree to grow, but you will also be helping TBTST to grow, now and in the future. There are gold, silver and bronze leaves available at a price of $180. If you are interested in supporting TBTST, please contact our office and we will gladly assist you. You can also email [email protected] or make your donation online at www.tbtst.org.

Yahrzeit is a Yiddish word, which literally means “time of year” or memorial. Jews of Ashkenazi descent use this term. Sephardim call this commemoration nahala, in Ladino. This custom is widely observed and based on the Jewish tradition of commemorating the death of a relative. All the Yahrzeit rituals are deeply ingrained in the Jewish life. The common rituals that are performed in the honorable memory of the departed soul include reciting the Kaddish prayer and lighting a Yahrzeit candle. Yahrzeit also includes the action of donating charity in memory of a deceased loved one. Through the performance of the mitzvah of tzedakah in the name of the departed, the merit of the deed is shared with the soul of the late relative, as their memory is enhanced. PRAYERS FOR THE SICK If a relative or friend is suffering from an illness, perhaps you would like to recite a special prayer for the speedy recovery of the ailing person. Traditionally, the Hebrew name of the sick person and the Hebrew name of the sick person's mother are mentioned during the prayer. It would be helpful if you would provide us with this information when you make your request. Prayers for the recovery of the sick are customarily accompanied by a gift to a deserving charity. The merit of this kind deed arouses God's mercy and His powers of healing. Although any amount is deemed appropriate on such an occasion, a gift of CHAI - $18 - or multiples of 18 - is particularly fitting when pleading for a person's recovery from sickness. CHAI in Hebrew means life. The two Hebrew letters which constitute the word - CHET and YUD - have the numerical equivalents of eight and ten respectively, together yielding the sum of eighteen. For this reason it has become a custom to give charity in the amount of CHAI when praying for the well-being of a suffering person. Enclosed please find a contribution in the sum of $______Please make a Misheberach (Prayer for the recovery) for: Name (English)______(Hebrew)______Mother's Name (Hebrew)______26 JUNE / JULY 2016

If you have a family member, or know of a fellow congregant, who is ailing or in the hospital, please notify us as well. The Rabbi tries to visit hospitalized members and we will include them in our Prayers for the Sick (see form elsewhere in this issue.)

The WECARE community outreach program operates a food pantry that provides over 3,500 bags of groceries each year to our neighbors in need regardless of race, religion, age, gender or nationality. We could not accomplish this important mitzvah if not for the generous donations we re- ceive year round from caring individuals, organizations, schools, synagogues and businesses in our community. Thanks to United Way of Broward County, we are also able to distribute fresh produce to needy people through Project Lifeline. Donations are greatly needed and appreciated to keep our shelves stocked so we can help the many men, women and children needing our services throughout the year. Currently, WECARE provides enough free non-perishable food and fresh produce to prepare over 65,000 meals for our neighbors in need. WECARE also collects small toiletry items, provides free medical equipment loans including wheelchairs, walkers and canes, distributes hand- knitted items to nursing home residents, and collects eyeglasses and hearing aids that are sent to New Eyes for the Needy. Donations of toiletry items and medical equipment are very much appreciated. Facts about Hunger in Broward County According to Million Meals Committee, there are 19 active food pantries in Broward County inclusive of the Soref JCC WECARE Food Pantry, and 4 active food banks. The Broward Regional Health Planning Council, Inc., Food Security Survey Report notes that 44% of all students enrolled in Broward County elementary schools qualify for free and reduced lunches. 15% of 56,873 Broward children live in poverty. 28 JUNE / JULY 2016 TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA'ARAY TZEDEK IYAR / SIVAN / TAMUZ 5776

TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA’ARAY TZEDEK MISSION STATEMENT Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek is a circle of friends anchored in the values of egalitarian, Conservative Judaism. We want to expand our circle by attracting all Jews, young and old, families and singles, to a warm and welcoming congregation of friends. We are here to pray together, to play together, to learn together, and to be there for each other as we face the joys and difficulties of our lives.
