August/September 2014 Av/Elul 5774 Tishrei 5775 Vol. 41 No. 1 Welcoming the Between Days of Awe Intention Pages 3-7 and Action

Sometimes the thematic vocabulary of the High Holidays becomes so familiar—year after year, service after service—that we cease to hear it. We say teshuvah and speak of repentance and return; we chant chadesh yameinu and speak of renewal. But do we believe it? The whole moral economy of the Days of Awe is predicated upon belief in the possibility of change—beginning in our hearts, flowing into our relationships, reaching out into God’s world. But if those three R’s—repentance, return, renewal—are just the sound of Rabbi David wispy rhetorical longing, then Stern they lose their teeth, the High Holy Days lose their power and we run the risk of losing hope. Then along comes this wonderful poem by Jane Hirschfield (see next page), with a blunt and liberating reminder: “What is usual is not what is always.” Sometimes I think if we could just remember those eight words—when philanthropywe are so sure of how someone will react to what we say,d sow¨ surec¨v§ that they will be harsh, unkind or unlistening; or so sure that we can take their forgiveness for granted. When we HAVING A BLAST! Shown are the Ba’alei Tekiah, those who sound the shofar for are so sure of their viewpoint based on their Temple.

OUR FUTURE | UNDER CONSTRUCTION BEHIND THE FENCE

Our construction partners are working on preliminary projects in support of the exciting building project that will create new classrooms, a new worship space and a new gathering space. Over the past several weeks, work has been under way to move playground equipment, choose seating for the new chapel, prepare the site for construction, create a secure area, work out details and installation of a new telephone and network system and take an inventory of furnishings.

BEGINNINGS

The aleph holds a special place in Judaism. It is the beginning of the Hebrew alphabet, the first letter of the word echad (one), emet (truth), emunah (trust) and Elul, the month that begins the annual cycle of reflection and introspection leading to the work of teshuvah, repair and renewal.

The year 5775 ushers in new beginnings at Temple, too. Consider it something of a regenerating year, in which we will experience some discomfort as we transition our beloved building. In the months ahead, the new spaces we have just dreamed about will take shape behind those fences and start to lead us to the dynamic, vital Temple of the future. A new beginning, indeed.

Temple’s Community Garden is a great success and the majority of produce is donated directly to the Vickery Meadow Food Pantry, which allows us to provide fresh food to our neighbors. With the purchase of 23 Garden Soxx kits, our neighbors will be able to grow 80 pounds of vegetables and spices over two years. Garden Soxx are made out of black mesh and each one is 2 feet by 1 foot long. A complete garden comes with eight Soxx, a watering can, seeds, plants, a growing guide and recipe book. We are participating in this project as a member of the Dallas Coalition for Hunger Solutions, as part of the Texas Hunger Initiative. Eleven organizations will be purchasing a total of 172 gardens to help solve the issue of hunger in Dallas and the surrounding areas.

Temple will be distributing these gardens to residents of Vickery Meadow at the Pebbles Apartments, students at Vickery Meadow Learning Center (VMLC) and refugees through the International Rescue Committee. We will also have one for our ECEC students and one for our community garden.

There are two opportunities to get involved. 1. On September 12, Sharing Life Outreach in Mesquite needs help setting up the staging area once the Soxx have been delivered. If you have a few hours to help, you will be organizing the Garden Soxx to allow for easy pick-up the next day.

2. On September 13, Temple Emanu-El members are needed to pick up the gardens and distribute them to the families in Vickery Meadow. You will need to arrive at Sharing Life Outreach in Mesquite at 8am, receive a quick training and then drive the Soxx to the recipient families. As you deliver the gardens to the families, you will need to share the instructions on how to plant and care for the gardens. Note: Trucks, vans and SUV’s are in demand. Please help out if you can!

Each month we will be in touch with the recipients to see how their gardens are doing and what kind of produce they have grown. Please visit our blog on www.tedallas.org to meet the recipients and watch their gardens grow.

g2g: On the Road Again Tuesday, October 7, 10am

The adventurous g2g crowd is headed to the Latino Cultural Center for a tour and exhibit on the Pike Park neighborhood. The exhibit traces the roots of Jewish and Mexican immigrants, honoring community life in an area of Dallas most recently known as Little Mexico (now Uptown). The Pike Park area was initially settled in the late 1800s by Eastern European Jewish immigrants and was alternately referred to as Little Jerusalem, Goose Valley or Frogtown. The area changed in the 1910s-1930s as Mexican residents moved in and Jewish residents moved to South Dallas. The exhibit is a project of the Dallas Mexican American Historical League and the Dallas Jewish Historical Society, in collaboration with the Latino Cultural Center. Lunch follows at 12 Mi Cocina.
