Synagogues Offer Sanctuary Shelly Weinstein: Emanu-El's To Central American Refugees Busy New Administrator
b y Robert Israel P ROVIDENCE - The telephone is ri nging. There are several people waiting for an appointment in the outer office. The Temple Tracker, that pioneering computer system developed by Ellen Franklin for use at -Temple Emanu-El, is buzzing away, sheet after sheet rolling neatly off the printer. Shelley Weinstein, Emanu-El's new administrator who has just completed seven months on the job, sits in front of me, folds his hands on the desk and smiles. He has to catch his breath for a minute. The smile is fresh and invigorating. He is in the eye of a storm of activity at Rhode Island's largest Conservative synagogue and he loves it. " I'm comfortable now,'' he says, "and I'm finding all the things that were blurry at first are falling into place. The staff here is extremely warm and helpful. When I first arrived the details of the job were be ing thrown at me in a most business like way, but it was difficult to grasp it all.

Does this mean that Jewish people like to read? The "Book" is the Bible, and we are "The People of the Book" because the Jewish people brought the Bible to the world. Actually, the Bible is not one "book". It is made up of 39 different books. These books are divided into three parts: Torah (Law), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). The Torah is the holiest of the three parts because it includes God's laws. It begins with the story of Creation and ends with the death of Moses. Nevi'im (Prophets) includes 21 books. T he prophets were people who delivered God's messages to the Jewish people. They usually taught the people how to behave and what God expected of them. T he last part is called Ketuvim (Writings). This part includes 13 books, such as Psalms, Proverbs, and the stories of Ruth and Esther. T he word Bible comes from the Greek word "biblia", which means book. Jewish people never call the Bible the "Old Testa ment"; that is a Christian term because the Christian Bible includes two parts: an "Old" Testament and a "New" Testament. I T he Bible is not the only book of the Jewish people. There are many other great books to read and study. T hat's one reason why rabbis and parents insist that religious school doesn't end with Bar mountain or Bat Mitzvah. Many Jews spend all of their lives studying great Jewish books!
