A Note from Cantor Avery

Balancing Netzach and Hod Clergy Leadership Program with the Institute for Jewish Spirituality Retreat Two A couple of weeks ago I was with my Clergy Leadership Program Cohort for our second retreat. It was held online due to the pandemic. There are 42 and cantors, across denominations, in our cohort. During our retreat we studied Chassidic and Kabbalistic texts, meditated, prayed, and practiced yoga (embodied mindfulness). We use these texts and practices to nourish and strengthen our awareness. Through this awareness we are able to lift and improve ourselves and the work we do as clergy. The more attuned we are to ourselves, noticing with curiosity our challenges and triumphs, the more able we are to lead others in their own journeys. This retreat we studied the middot, or inner qualities, through which we will be identifying areas to expand our awareness. We are connecting these middot to the , ten emanations through which the Kabbalists believed God reveals God’s self. We began by discussing how everything in creation is connected, in small ways and big ways. So connected, in fact, that each connected part informs and affects other parts of the whole. Think of our bodies. We are made of molecules, the molecules make up cells, the cells make up tissues, the tissues make up our organs and the organs are a part of the larger organism. When one organ is out of balance, it affects the rest of the organism. We looked at this in a spiritual way by connecting it to the idea that when our middot, our inner qualities are out of balance, they effect the entirety of who we are and what we do in the world. We looked first at one of the lower Sefirot: Netzach. Netzach connects to the following inner qualities: Victory, Endurance, Grit, Tenacity, and Effort. We connect it to the famous words from Mishnah “Bishvili nivra haolam.” “The world was created for me.” Netzach is our drive to “do do do” and “go go go”. It’s the quality within that pushes us to achieve and accomplish. You may be thinking that this is wonderful, and it is. However, this drive can get out of balance. When we don’t stop, when we don’t rest, when we don’t give ourselves a break, our Netzach is out of balance. We then looked at the opposing Sefirah: Hod. Hod connects to the inner qualities: Surrender, Humility, Gratitude, Non-effort. We connect it the words from Genesis, “I am but dust and ashes.” Hod is the part of us that keeps us humble. It’s the part of us that surrenders to sleep when we are tired. This is wonderful! And, our Hod can get out of balance, too. A Hod imbalance might look like when we are humble to the point of insecurity and not believing in our own worth. When we get sleepy when trying to focus work, or on the words of our partner or children, not able to harness the energy to remain engaged. My questions for you are: How are you taking care of yourselves and finding balance in your lives during the pandemic? Do you find yourself having days that are leaning more heavily into Netzach, with maybe a little too much “go go go”? Do you find that some days your Hod is off balance with maybe too much tv and a lack of motivation? I want to invite you to look at these inner qualities in yourself and see how you are doing. Answer these questions. Maybe journal a little about them. If you’d like to reach out and share your thoughts with me, do not hesitate! I look forward to a continued look at these and the other inner qualities, (middot). As always, everyone at Temple Shalom is here for you. Rabbi Paley and I continue to have office hours through phone and zoom. We have our Tuesday night gatherings, we have Havdalah on Saturdays including a special concert with Noah Aronson on August 8th, weekly Shabbat services, and so many other ways to reach out and stay connected. If you’re looking for a way to engage creatively, join me at Knitting Hour on Mondays at 2:00pm. Any creative project works. Even baking! Reach out if you need to, we are here for you!

In Peace, Song, and Love Cantor Devorah Avery [email protected]

President’s Column by Debra Levy-Fritts

Dear Friends: I don’t have to tell you all - we are in a new normal, at least for awhile. This new era can be summed up by a Hebrew word my son shared with me. This word is “leheistagel”- meaning, “to adapt”. We have been busy doing just that. In the next weeks, we will share more information concerning our Temple Shalom Guidance on Covid-19. This policy was passed unanimously by the Temple Shalom Board of Trustees in early July and will guide our actions regarding building use and re-entry. It details the multiple safety precautions and considerations necessary for Temple Shalom’s adaptation to this time, as well as how the staff and clergy will manage employee, building, member operations, and decision-making regarding safety.

We thank members of our task force for their tireless work: Dr. Barry Lachman, Dr. Sander Gothard, Board of Trustees members, Roy Flegenheimer, Lisa Greenstein, Laney Arndt, Denise Blasband, Mark Stromberg, Rik Heller; and Steve Lewis, Rabbi Andrew Paley and Cantor Devorah Avery representing staff and clergy members. This group will continue to guide and advise our response to the pandemic.

These policies share our standards and all who enter our spaces are required to adhere to our posted, specific guidance at a minimum, upon entry. Temple Shalom reserves the right to enforce these standards through actions necessary for the safety of our beloved community. Our guiding Jewish value is Pikuach Nefesh, the preservation of life. Through these actions, with the help of God and each other, we will keep everyone safe. - The Temple Shalom Covid-19 Task Force

Our policy for those entering our building is as follows: as of July 13, 2020, prior to entering the building, (upon appointment only at this time, and only if essential) everyone entering the building must:  Assure they are symptom free, using CDC criteria, suggested by this sample form with no active illness before entry. Those who feel ill are asked to refrain from building entry and to follow recommended guidelines.  Every member and guest who enters our building will have their temperature checked.  Beloved members who are vulnerable due to age or health reasons should follow recommended health guidelines issued by the CDC, avoiding entry, considering other, virtual means of community gathering.  Masks are also required for building entry at all times, as well as remaining at a 6ft. distance.  Hand sanitizing, and hand-washing will be essential as well.  We will strive to create within our congregation a culture of shared concern and care for each other, based on the values of Shalom (peace, wholeness, wellness) as we covenant to perform these acts of prevention for the safety of our temple and entire community.

Re-entry phases and criteria are tied to progress on virus containment in the community and environment (city, county, etc.). Restrictions on entry, gathering sizes, event duration, and the recommended limitations on vulnerable population’s participation will continue for some time.

(continued on next page)

August 2020 www.templeshalomdallas.org Page 8

We will continue to communicate our phased policy, and will share the re-entry criteria and guidelines of our task force with the congregation in meaningful and timely ways. Our plans regarding the building are on pace in terms of the external environment, our member needs, concerns and demographics, as well as the progression of the virus in our city, county, and state. Our overriding goal is member safety and health. As was shared in our letter on High Holy Days, our High Holy Days will be a meaningful adaptation to safety considerations this year. We will be together in the great outdoors and online this holy season, and our loving, and caring community will yet draw closer to one another despite the crisis caused by this virus. In the coming days, we will launch our Temple Shalom Community Conversations Project. Be sure to visit Page15 to sign up. This pilot opportunity will continue throughout August. Our conversations project, as well as the survey(s) we’ve done to date (see Page 10) demonstrate that even though we’re experiencing this strange time, we are adapting - weathering the storm together. Before closing, I want to thank Monica Susman, Debbie Niederman and Lisa Rothberg, as well as Rabbi Paley and Ray and Tamara Farris for making our recent outdoor Munchkin Minyan and Havdalah Service happen for us. Likewise, we were blessed to have the amazing, and talented Elana Arian join our members for a Havdalah concert recently and it was moving and special indeed. Don’t miss seeing Noah Aronson, see back page! Thank you to Cantor Avery, and the Adult Education & Music Committees for planning and sponsoring these events for our members. We have more summer activities planned for August, and even participating in just one… outdoors or online, will bring you joy, and hope. Join us! When we build community and share our stories, ourselves, we spark hope. I have hope because of you. Seeing friends again online or on our temple lawn gives me hope. As a Temple Shalom family, we have reservoirs of resilience inside us, and together, we can learn to adapt. Please email me if you have any questions or concerns [email protected]. I am always excited to make a member-connection, to listen and to learn from you. B'Shalom,

Debra Levy-Fritts, President Temple Shalom

In particular, respondent’s self disclosed participation levels in most activities remains steady, or stronger - including participation in services. We want to hear from more families with young children, and will continue communicating with everyone during this time of adaptation. *220 members responded to our In This Time survey, and 225 responded to the URJ Covid-19 Impact Survey.

Welcome to our new staff member: Monica Susman, Coordinator of Belonging As I begin this new journey as the Coordinator of Belonging at Temple Shalom, I think about the times we are in today and acknowledge the difficult task I have accepted. Being a Temple member for over 30 years, my connection to this beautiful facility and congregation has evolved, and it has always been a place I knew was there when I needed it. Before Jeff and I got married, Rabbi Roseman counseled with us as we prepared to join our lives together. Temple Shalom was there to help us build a strong family unit. When our girls were young, we needed a place for them to enter Religious School. Temple Shalom was there for us with an active community where we found connections to other parents going through similar experiences in elementary school. When my daughters were ready to become Bat Mitzvah, Temple Shalom was there to tutor them so they could share their knowledge with their family and friends. When they were looking for other youth to hang out, Temple Shalom was there though SHFTY. One of my daughters still keeps in touch with those connections; she is now 27. Like many of you, Temple Shalom has been there for us through every stage of our lives. In today’s world, the need for connection feels even greater, and I believe we can find true connection at Temple Shalom. Our Friday nights are made up of virtually “attending” services. It’s become part of our new normal. We love to see all of the names, some familiar and some not, that join the service. Knowing Rabbi and Cantor continue to work diligently to bring the familiar to us every week increases the value of my membership. We are observing Shabbat in a different way, but the service is familiar and the familiar is welcomed. Having the ability to connect to Rabbi Paley and Cantor Avery through the digital Shabbat makes ending the week a little sweeter. Temple Shalom is here for you. And Temple Shalom will continue to be here for you, no matter what is going on in the world. It’s important to know that while you may not be able to access the building, Temple Shalom is not “closed.” We remain fully open, and continue to develop innovated ways to help you stay engaged and connected. My goals for the Belonging Department are to help people looking to be a part of a caring, dynamic community and to help our current members find connections that interest them. We are fortunate to have a variety of opportunities for you to get involved. If helping those less fortunate is your passion, then our Tikkun Olam Council may be right for you. If working with children is up your alley, then perhaps our Young Families Committee may be the answer. If you are looking to work alongside of likeminded men or women, then perhaps Brotherhood or Sisterhood is for you. If you would like to get involved, Temple Shalom has a place for you. With the realization that many of our normal councils and committees are on hold right now, our online initiatives are simple to find. With either a computer, cell phone or tablet, you can start making a connection. Much of our digital programming is through our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/ groups/templeshalomdallas/ or our website: www.TempleShalomDallas.org. Take a look and then reach out to me; I am happy to work with you to make the right connection. I can be reached at [email protected]. I look forward to helping you get connected!

Although it’s summer, there is so much happening in our religious school – we are busily planning for an exciting New Year!

Baruch atah, Adonai, Eloheinu, melech haolam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav, v'tzivanu lishmoa kol shofar. Blessed are you, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, who hallows us with mitzvot, commanding us to hear the sound of the Shofar.

Much of the planning we are doing now is related to the middah/value of listening. We learn of this value from the commandment to hear the Shofar blown. In ancient days the Shofar announced the beginning of a new month, the crowning of a new king, important information for the people, and the announcement of each holiday throughout the year. The Shofar called to the people, informing them of events and occasions. Hearing the Shofar at Rosh HaShanah has additional meaning beyond the sound. "The blasts of the Shofar call us to repentance, to renew our loyalty to God, to defy false gods, to remember Sinai, to keep the mitzvot, to renew our devotion to the Land of Israel, to recall the vision of the prophets when all peoples shall live in peace, the blasts of the shofar reminds us of the flight of time and to live our lives with purpose." "May the sound of the Shofar enter our hearts; for blessed is the people that hearkens to its call." (The Sound of the Shofar by Hershel J. Matt, Machzor Hadash p.244)

The Shofar demands that we pay attention not just to the sounds that are made by the ram's horn but to the meaning of those sounds. The Shofar grabs our attention. We are called to listen, learn and to do. I am hear to listen and to learn from you so that together we can create a meaningful and engaging experience for all our learners. Through conversations with parents I am hearing about safety concerns, about how to preserve a love of , Jewish life, our sacred rituals and even our sacred space in these difficult times. Parents want their child to feel safe, feel comfort, feel known and cared for. From conversations with students I am hearing about a desire to stay connected to friends and community. Everyone I am speaking to is seeking to make connections- to our tradition, to other kids and families, and to a holy community. I want to hear from you, too. I am slowly working my way through our list of religious school families and reaching out to each one. To those of you who picked up an unknown number and gave me your time and your ear, I am so very grateful. If I have not yet gotten to you, please feel free call me. In these challenging times we all need to be open to listening and hearing from one another. I am pleased to share that I am learning a great deal from our Youth Commission members as well. As part of the continuing work of the Blueprint 2025 Plan we have formed a Youth Commission comprised of 20 members of our Temple Shalom community including; parents, teachers, young adults, our rabbi and many lay leaders. The goal of the commission is to create a new vision for youth education at Temple Shalom. In our first meeting we discussed our hopes and dreams for our religious school. Among the most repeated things our members shared were hopes and dreams about community, friendships and creating a lifelong connection to Jewish learning. I am eager to hear your

(continued on next page)

hopes and dreams, too. Please drop me an email at [email protected] to let me know what you are hoping for, dreaming about. As the work of the commission continues I will post updates and seek input. I look forward to listening and learning from all of you.

Shomrei Adamah Program Kick-off: Sustainability in the Covid Era The Shomrei Adamah committee will kick off its program year with a focus on sustainability in the Covid era. Shomrei Adamah (“Guardians of the Earth”) is dedicated to improving Temple Shalom’s sustainability efforts and increasing awareness of our shared and individual responsibility to honor and protect God’s creation. As we adjust to "the new normal," many of our habits and needs are changing, which changes how we impact the environment and our community. This year’s program will help bring awareness to relevant topics including:  Cleaning and safe use of chemicals  Gardening and composting  Food scarcity and food waste  Shopping and packaging  Sharing, re-using, and freecycling  Support for local and minority-owned businesses And more… If you have a suggestion or are interested in supporting these efforts, please contact the Shomrei Adamah committee at [email protected].

BROTHERHOOD

Brotherhood to Honor Irv Munn with 2021 Shalom Award The Shalom Award’s meaning has evolved over the years. Temple Shalom Brotherhood’s Shalom Award recognizes persons that have significantly contributed to promoting Shalom — peace — throughout our community through their tireless efforts to improve and unite the community to give people opportunities to better their lives. We have chosen Irv Munn for his tremendous contributions toward our Jewish community and its future, and his efforts through these activities to better the lives of our community. His work leading Temple Shalom’s Endowment Fund, as well as being the President of the Jewish Family Service of Dallas Foundation are examples of how he has helped shaped the future of these organizations (as well as being a committee member of Temple Shalom’s strategic plan). Over the years he has been a leader in the greater Dallas Jewish Community, including President of Temple Shalom (and serving in other capacities), serving on numerous committees at the JCC, the Board of Jewish Family Service, and treasurer of Wise Academy. He has served communitywide as the President of the Dallas Domestic Violence Legal Help Center, the Board of Directors of ECHAD, and been a member of the Executive Committee of the ADL. The event is scheduled for February 20, 2021. More details on the event will follow.

A Conversation with Anat Hoffman Sunday, August 2 1:00pm via Zoom Zoom link: https://bit.ly/tsdbhanat Event is open to all Temple members. Anat is the Executive Director of the Israel Religious Action Center. She might well be Progressive (Reform) Judaism's most influential voice in Israel. As Executive Director of IRAC, Anat has fought (and won) recognition of Reform and Conservative conversions by the state; and led the struggle against gender segregation in the public domain, including on public buses, airplanes and a national radio station. Perhaps the struggle with which we all identify is her work with "Women of the Wall". Anat has led Women of the Wall for over three decades in their effort towards gender equality at the Western Wall, the holiest site of the Jewish faith.
