Why Andre Tarraf not support the temple and have a great night out at the same time? Past President: On November 10 at the Lyric theater, we are presenting internationally known Harvey Levy PETER YARROW from PETER, PAUL and MARY. Through the amazing efforts of Tobi Rettig, this event brings us not only enormous pride, but a chance to dra- matically help our financial bottom line. Please - spread the word, buy a ticket and come to a great night out. I look forward to seeing you there as it will be a GREAT night for us. Check the Shofar and all of our media resources for upcoming events as there are some wonderful events planned for this year. Give thanks for our temple community and be an active participant. Rabbi B The President’s Communication Corner ……………… October has been a great month! So much happened! First there was our potluck dinner followed by a Simchat Torah service and the consecration of our newest religious school students. Welcome, Zach- ary Birch Farragut, Aaron Birch Farragut, and Briana Zeff. And speaking of religious school students, mazel tov to Ayden Adar on becoming a bar mitzvah and Marisa Roth on becoming a bat mitzvah. From consecration to b’nai mitzvah, we are so proud of our students! Another group I want to recognize is our new members who we officially welcomed with a special Shabbat in their honor. We look forward to their participation as members of our TBEI family. What tests our knowledge while providing a ton of fun? The answer: Trivia. A great time was had by all who attended our Trivia Night last month. Moving on to this month, please join us at the Peter Yar- row concert November 10. Not only will it be a fun and musical evening, but part of the proceeds will be donated to Operation Respect, an organization that works to help create bully-free environments for children and youth. In addition to having fun, we have many opportunities to learn: the Adult Education series, Torah Study on Saturday mornings, adult B’nai Mitzvah class, and Brotherhood and Sisterhood speakers to name just a few. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Speaking of decisions, this month is our semi-annual Congregation meeting when we decide who will be our congregation’s representatives on the Nominating Committee. The meeting is scheduled for Sunday, November 18 at 2:00 p.m., and a quorum is necessary to conduct business. Be sure to check out the many upcoming events listed in the Shofar each month. The temple offers something for everyone. Find your “something” and I’ll see you there…. Tobi

JOIN US ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH AT 7 PM PETER YARROW CONCERT AT THE LYRIC THEATRE IN STUART

Ritual Committee Report ~ ~ We have members from all branches of Judaism at TBEI and with this in mind, at the Ritual Com- mittee meeting on October 24th we arrived at the following suggestions after a long discussion about suitable attire at services. It is our hope to teach our children, by example, to distinguish a social event from a religious service. The committee decided to re-establish appropriate attire for accepting honors or aliyot on the bema. For example:

 Blouses or dresses covering the shoulders

 Shirts with collars on men  Tallit optional for an Aliyah  Shorts should not be worn at religious services It is the committee’s desire to teach our children and families respect and appreciation for the holiness of the sanctuary.

To request an honor or an Aliyah during a Shabbat service contact the Temple office.

12 Our Monthly TBEI Library Book Review……………….by Sheilah Korinow

Today, at the push of a button, technology can provide us information about almost everything. But sometimes it's overkill - we are asked to google through many pages listed on our computer just to search for one small bit of information. That's why it's oftentimes more convenient to look at a book (in our library, of course), that can provide you a lot of information in an organized manner. You have immediate knowledge of what's in the book, in what manner it is presented, and usually a helpful forward and/or introduction to give you the purpose of the book and any significant ideas related to it. The book I am reviewing is Great Moments In Jewish History, co-authored by Robert Slater and his wife, Eli- nor. Our library also has some of their other books. This book stated: "the Slaters bring to life events that have shaped the character and essence of the Jewish people and determined the course of their dramatic history." The book is divided into four distinct sections; Moments of Courage, Moments of Joy, Moments of Despair, and Mo- ments of Creativity." Each event is approximately three pages in length, yet contains many interesting and infor- mative bits of information you may not know. Also, each article begins with an overview of the event, reminding you of any essential facts of what may be helpful before you read. I will list each section of the book, underline it, and will then provide you with a few of the names of the articles under each of the sections so you can have an idea of what the book contains and how varied the articles seem to be. Articles appear from biblical until modern times.

Under Moments of Courage Moses Leads Children of Israel Out of Egypt - 13th century B.C.E. Israelites Receive the Ten Commandments - 1230 B.C.E. Anan ben David Leads the Karaites - 760 C.E. Rothchild's Found a Banking Dynasty - 1792 Under Moments of Despair Brandeis Becomes First Jewish Supreme Court Justice - Zealots Commit Suicide at Masada - 73 C.E. 1916 Crusades Reach Holy Land - 1099 Sarah Schenirer Founds Beth Jacob School - 1918 First Blood Libel Unleashed - 1144 Knesset Stormed Over Reparations Issue - 1952 Ford Sponsors Hate Literature - 1920 Israelis Capture Adolf Eichmann - 1960 Israeli Athletes Murdered at Munich Olympics— Brother Daniel Denied Israeli Citizenship -1962 1972 Entebbe Hostages Rescued in Daring Mission -1976 Under Moments of Creativity

Under Moments of Joy Rashi Composes Biblical Commentary - 1100 Abraham Passes Test of Faith - 18th century B.C.E. Mapu Writes First Hebrew Novel - 1853 Cyrus Permits Jews to Return to Zion - 538 B.C.E. Judith Kaplan Becomes First Bat Mitzvah - 1922 Rebecca Gratz Introduces First Sunday School - 1838 Molly Goldberg Captivates American Audiences - Reform Temple Founded in New York - 1845 1949 Ben-Yehuda Revives Hebrew Language -1897 Wiesel's Night Sensitizes World to Holocaust - United Nations Votes to Establish Jewish State - 1947 1960 First Woman Rabbi Ordained - 1972 Catholic Church Reconciles with Jews - 1994

Great Moments In Jewish History includes so much more than the above articles. Look at its Table of Contents and you will be pleasantly surprised by all it holds. It is a treasure-chest for many, many events By reading it, you'll read things you already know, much more that you don't know, but in addition to that, in one way or another, you will understand how and why these events have had an important influence on our history - political, historical, cultural, and more. To check out this book, take the slip of paper from between its pages, located on top of the file cabinet on the right side of the library, fill it out and place it in the small wooden box, also on top of the cabinet. When you return the book, just leave it where you found it. Enjoy! There is much to be gained from reading this book, or even parts of it.
