Temple Torat Emet

TEKIAH

January—February 2018 14 Tevet — 13 Adar 5778 A Word From Our

Dear Friends,

I hope you have had the opportunity to enjoy some of the wonderful events we have shared the past few months. I was incredibly moved by the installation weekend, as well as Volunteer Shabbat and Veterans Shabbat, and look forward to creating more moving experiences together. Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen, both through leading and attending.

We are approaching Tu B’Shevat, the holiday of the trees, this Janu- ary. As a child, I always celebrated by planting a tree in Israel with JNF; as I have grown up, I have learned more about the ecological message of Judaism. The classic midrash in this regard is that on the sixth day of creation, God took Adam and Eve on a walking tour of the Garden, and God said, “be very careful with my creation, for if you ruin it, there will be nobody to fix it.” As we celebrate the trees and all of creation, we can also challenge ourselves, ask ourselves how well we have taken care of God’s creation, and how we could do a better job trying to leave the natural world a better place than we found it. The next few months will be bustling with activity, and I am looking forward to celebrating together. When Moses asked Pharaoh to let the Jews go from Egypt, Pharaoh asked “who is going?” Moses’ reply was that “we will all go, young and old; we will go with our sons and daughters, our flocks and our herds, for we must observe the Lord’s festival” (Shemot 10:9); Pharaoh refused, and Moses went ahead with the plague of locusts.

How can we, as a community, include our young and old, our sons and daughters? Often it feels like we must decide: do we run a program for the kids or adults? Of course, we want to serve everybody, but how do we decide where our focus is? Moses’ message is: to celebrate a feast, we must do it together.

Why is this so important? On one level, if we exclude the children, we exclude the future. All of us will die at some point, and the children are the ones we rely on to keep Judaism alive. On a deeper level, we can all enrich each other’s lives; I am missing out if I do not get to know a 2-year old congregant, or a 102-year old congre- gant. Finally, I believe we are a community, and a celebration is only complete if the entire community celebrates.

(Continues on page 2) (Continued from page 1) We have many upcoming programs where we will celebrate together, young and old, with our sons and daughters. On January 19, we will have separate services for families and adults, but we will also have a congregational dinner where we can all celebrate together, and get to know one another. On Purim, as well, we will have separate family and traditional megillah readings, and a unified congregational meal. We also have started a program where some of our older congre- gants are going into the preschool to read to the children. I am excited about this experiment, and believe it will enrich all our lives.

Blessings on you and your family,

Rabbi David Siff

President`s Message

In achieving our desire to grow as an intergenerational congregation, I am pleased to invite you to many varied programs and services that will take place at Temple Torat Emet in the coming months. On January 12, 2018 (the second Friday of the month), we will begin to conduct our monthly Kabbalat Shabbat Festive Musical Services featuring Cantor Emil Berkovits and the SWAT Band. Another opportunity to celebrate together will take place on Saturday, January 27, 2018 at our annual Tu B`Shevat Seder. On Friday, February 9, 2018, we celebrate the first of our Family-Friendly Kabbalat Shabbat Services, led by Rabbi David Siff starting at 6:00 pm. This Service is specifically designed for families with young children. A buffet family-style dinner, open to the whole congregation and its affiliates, prepared by members of our congregation, will follow from 6:30-7:30 pm. This will provide an opportunity for everyone to celebrate together with an intergenerational dinner. There will be a charge of $8 per person and $25 per family for this dinner. Please watch for further publicity. Reservations will be limited. The Kabbalat Shabbat Festive Musical Service will take place at 7:30 pm featuring Cantor Emil Berkovits and the SWAT Band. “PURIM IS HERE!” On Wednesday evening, February 28, 2018 we will have a special Purim Service and celebration. This will include a joyous Megillah reading service for both young and old again with a family friendly reduced cost buffet style light meal to follow. Watch for further announcements regarding times and cost. On Thursday, March 1, 2018 we will have a Happy Purim Service and Megillah reading with a breakfast to follow. Mark your calendars! Keep the happy spirit of Temple Torat Emet alive, as we participate in, and support these events. Looking forward to celebrating together with you,

Anschel O. Weiss President

TOV TEAM

Happy, healthy holidays to all.

The Tov Team thanks everyone who graciously replied to our request for additional people able to make phone calls and/or visits. Our objective is to continue to grow the team, and assist with these 'mitzvot' among all.

We are always striving for new ideas as well as additional warm individuals with friendly voices who are smiling, upbeat men and women.

Your team also needs your eyes and ears so we can be advised of home-bound, ill or just plain lonely people. We will gladly meet with you to offer some suggestions on how to keep conversation open.

Sincerely,

Bette Nissenberg co-chair Ceil Grossman co-chair

Board Briefs The Temple Torat Emet Board of Directors addressed the following items of interest and took the following actions at its meetings on October 26, 2017 and November 30, 2017:

Personnel/ Administration - Get well wishes have been extended to our preschool director, Stephanie Rubin, as she continues her recuperation. - The rabbi was officially installed on December 2nd. Thank you to Sharon Cadoff and her committee for successfully or- chestrating Rabbi Siff's Installation Shabbat. The event included a well-attended Kabbalat Shabbat dinner, Shabbat services with community representatives followed by an extended Kiddush, and a family-friendly Seudah Shlishit. - The Nominating Committee for next year's board slate is soon to be formed. - The Constitutional Revision Committee is moving to complete their review by March or April.

Facilities - Infrastructure needs and repairs continue to be addressed. Flooring in the preschool wing is scheduled to be replaced due to flooding damage. Air conditioners continue to need repairs. Roof leakage has been detected and must be addressed. Light fixtures in the ballroom have been cleaned. Some tiles need to be replaced. - The front entrance sign will be completely redesigned. The process had been delayed due to issues requiring the verification of the donors. Some logistic and technical issues remain, but the process is now underway. - Congregants are kindly reminded not to turn left upon exiting the campus. The left-hand turn lane remains closed and tick- eting will be enforced by the sheriff's office.

Education - The preschool readers program will soon begin. Fourteen congregants have volunteered to read stories to preschoolers in Torah Tots. - Kadima participated in the NF walkathon for neurofibromatosis. - HIP students conducted their own Shabbat service in the Wasley Chapel, concurrent with services in the main sanctuary, on October 21st.

Ritual - The Board will welcome Kaskeset singers from Binghamton on January 5-6th for a musical Shabbat that is sure to please congregants. - Rabbi Siff and Cantor Berkowits will both be on vacation December 30th and January 6th. - A Cantor Search Committee is soon to be formed and begin the process of exploring options within the constraints of our budget. The option of a full-time cantor is extremely remote.

Financial/ Fundraising - Cabaret III ticket sales are moving fast. All tickets must be paid by February 5th. The refinancing of the mortgage is complete; however, a complete budget review is in process and may necessitate a congregational meeting to discuss the findings.

Membership/ Social A wine and cheese reception is being held for Sarah and Richard Sandler as they re-locate, January 4, 2018, starting at 3:30pm. Reservation required.

Security The process of upgrading our security system is underway, with several behind-the-scenes measures already taken. Staff members have received active shooter training. Additionally, paperwork with Homeland Security has been issued and will be completed to meet the requirements of the grant.

Alyssa Rudinsky, Recording Secretary

Please save the date: March 5, 2018 Congregational Meeting. Discussing a six-month review and projection for the next six-months.

Membership Committee

Make Your Presence Felt at Torat Emet

On November 18, 2017 we took time, during the Shabbat morning service, to acknowledge and celebrate our wonderful vol- unteers. Yes, Temple Torat Emet (TTE) has a small, terrific and hard-working professional staff. However, they can’t do it all. There is so much that needs to be done that requires member participation. It is our volunteers who “lean in” and devote their time; and, by doing so, help keep the TTE family running smoothly. Without our volunteers we could not serve this congregation’s many needs. We have listed here many, but not all, of the various committees of the Shul. Volunteering en- riches your life and connects you with the vibrant life of the TTE family. Please get in touch, find out when a committee you are interested in meets, and come to the next meeting.

Ritual Matters

We would like to bring you up to date on some ritual matters:

-Bima traffic pattern changing: If you are called for an aliyah during the Torah reading, please ascend the bima on the North side. (The side where the Cantor leads the service.) There is a ramp on that side also. This is where the Torah reading will take place and it is necessary that the Gabbai Rishon sees who is coming up for their aliyah. After your aliyah, please stand next to the Gabbai Rishon. Descend the bima on the south side.

-Changes in times for Friday evening Shabbat services: On certain occasions, such as when we are having a Shabbat dinner, or Shabbat on the beach, it may be necessary to change the time from 7:30pm to 6pm instead. This would be posted as much as possible in advance. The following dates should be noted for a change to 6pm: Jan. 26—Sisterhood Shabbat dinner Mar 16— Men’s Club Shabbat dinner April 7—7th day Pesach dinner May 25, June 27, July 27, and Aug. 24—Shabbat on the beach

-Kashrut for the kitchen The following was passed as part of the Kashrut policy: Non-Hechshered wine (that without supervision and prepared domestically) may be used for dinners. For ritual purposes (Kiddush), wine must be Hechshered. Cheese – that which has been prepared domestically and does not have a Hechsher, and may be used within the synagogue. Please speak with the Rabbi if you have any concerns. The Rabbi will discuss other topics such as cage-free eggs, chocolate and coffee not made by slaves, at educational forums throughout the year. (See “Rabbi Forums” below.)

-Torah readers and hanftorah chanters All those congregants wishing to read or chant, please check in with the ritual director, Michael Klein, before the date you do so.

-Gabbai training All Gabbaim, and those who want to be on the Gabbaim roster, must sign up for our training to be held on Thursday morning, February 1st at 9:30am (after the minyan). There will be another class on Sunday, February 4th after the World Wide Wrap, for those who cannot make the 2/1 class due to work commitments. The training will support the Gabbaim in feeling comfortable about making corrections to the Torah readers.

-Aliyot for intermarried couples B’nai Mitzvot It will be the synagogue policy to allow intermarried couples to be on the bima together for an aliyah during their child’s Bar/ Bat Mitzvah and they may also present their child with his/her tallit. (See “Rabbi Forums” below)

Proposed Rabbi forums The Rabbi will hold a lunch and learn session during the Kiddush on Family Shabbat weeks. The proposed topics/dates are: January 13th………………Judaism and Environmentalism February 10th……………..Can wine be non-kosher? March 10th………………..Is slave-made chocolate “kosher”? May 12th………………….Archeology vs. the Torah

The Rabbi encourages congregants to suggest other topics as well.

Preschool Happenings

The months of November and December flew by as we had many wonderful and successful programs. During the first week of December the preschool PTO hosted the Scholastic Book Fair, a week-long book sale event. Everyone from Temple members to ESARS students, and of course our own parents, had the opportunity to do some early shopping for Chanukah. During the week of Book Fair we held our annual Pajama Night. As the name implies, the children attended in their pajamas, as did some of their parents. Everyone enjoyed a pizza dinner and snacking on cookies and milk. Thank you to Ms. Holly and Ms. Katie as well as Randi Flank for coordinating this event. The week concluded with Grandparent/Special Person Shabbat. All of the children celebrated Shabbat together in the Sanctuary, accompanied by their special guests. This was followed by a very well-attended Oneg in the ballroom, where everyone enjoyed challah, pastry and fruit. Many thanks to our PTO for sponsoring and making this event so successful.

The Pre-K children at WFTT will be hosting a Tot Mitzvah program on January 28th at 10 am. This event is very special to our Pre-K children. We can’t wait to share pictures of the event in the next Tekiah.

Wiston Family Torah Tots extends their wishes for a Happy and Healthy 2018.

Youth Group

January marks the time of new beginnings for most of our neighbors. Ours began months ago so take a moment to reflect on the goals you set then, and evaluate how you are doing on meeting them. Is it time to tweak your plan? Youth group is focused on new beginnings in January and February. Don’t miss our community car wash on Sunday, January 21 to give your car a fresh start, but also stay tuned for our first annual Temple Dating Game of new beginnings on February 14 that hopefully turns into happily-ever-afters. We will need willing singles of all ages to participate, as well as an audience and show workers. Please, contact me to take part. Youth plans to launch a BINGO fundraiser, as well as hold auditions for a temple-wide Purim shpiel in the next weeks. Turn a leaf again and try something new this year. You just might like it and be glad you did. I look forward to new beginnings with you and your family with a range of fun social programming from the youth group. To stay up to date on events, visit our Face Book page, Temple Torat Emet Youth Groups and text me to join my text group at 561-251-3549.

Esther & Simon Adler & Angrist Community Religious School Program

It is hard to believe that half the year is already over, and we are begin- ning to get ready for our spring curriculum. But before we move for- ward, let’s recap this past semester.

Our students have been busy on Wednesdays with Mr. Greenberg discussing and sharing ideas and thoughts on Shabbat, prayers, the importance of the rituals we observe, and also having some heated discussions on how science and religion work together (or sometimes don’t). I enjoy sitting in on these discussions and listening to some enlightening viewpoints on all of the above. Our students have also been working on Hebrew reading and writing at their level with many of our teachers. It is so exciting to walk the halls and listen to our students read so much more than they did a few short months ago.

During our class sessions on Sunday, each class has been working on many topics and lessons. Our Kindergarten students are busily learning Torah stories and sharing them by making many beautiful art projects. They are also learning their Alef Bet and all about the Fall and Winter holidays. Our 1st and 2nd grade students have also been learning and reading Torah and Holiday stories, and so much more. Our 3rd grade students have been doing much of the same, but are also beginning to discover topics about Jewish lifestyles at an age-appropriate level. Our 4th grade students continued their Torah studies and spent much of the semester learning about Jewish lifestyles. We look forward to more of the same and the beginning of their chapter on Israel studies for the new semester. In addition to their regular curriculum, our 5th grade students have been busy with their counterpart class in Israel, and we look forward to many more programs and projects for this upcoming semester. They will be doing a combined Tu B’Shevat program that will be very exciting. Our 6th grade class spent much of the semes- ter discussing Torah topics as well as Jewish ethics topics. We look forward to the new semester bringing on the study of Israel, the Holocaust and how the Jewish people came to where we are now. And of course, our 7th grade students have been busy discussing Pirke Avot, Ethics, Prayers, and so much more by having some great intellectual and thought-provoking discussions. We look forward to much more of the same.

The new semester will include our Tu B’Shevat Seder and a great project that we will begin immediately following Winter Break and continue until the end of the school year. It will also bring us to Purim and Passover studies. Looking ahead, our Purim festivities will occur on both the Temple Beth Tikvah and the Temple Torat Emet campuses with family programs, megillah readings, costume contests and of course hamentashen at both places. More information about these programs will be sent out as we get closer.

Please remember that our Sunday classes will meet at the Temple Beth Tikvah campus for ALL students beginning January 7 through the end of the year. Let me remind you that a snack cart is available at both campuses on Wednesday and Sunday. We are able to provide your children with snacks every Wednesday afternoon and snacks and bagels every Sunday morning. To make it easy for you, we are selling cards that have $12.00, in 50 cent increments, for $10.00. We will hold onto the cards and deduct the cost of the snack from the cards. Please contact me to purchase these cards. Your support of the snack cart helps support the education program for our B’Yachad students.

If you have any questions, concerns, comments or just want to chat- please remember, my door is always open. You can reach me via email at [email protected].

Thank you for a great first half of the year and I look forward to an even better second half. L’hitraot

Men's Club of Temple Torat Emet Honors our Veterans

The Men's Club of Temple Torat Emet was pleased to present a program on Veterans Day honoring those members who have served our country in the Military. We requested and received photographs from many of those veterans in uniform, more than we received last year, and with the help of Jonathan Shochat, we posted them on a bulletin board just outside of the sanctuary. Under each picture, we listed the branch of service and the years served. With the help of Alyssa in the office, those photos were rotated on the in-house TV screens.

We were privileged to have our oldest veteran, Albert Reet, who is 104, receive an aliyah as he represented all our veterans. Rabbi Sid Shanken, a veteran of World War ll, read the prayers for the Armed Forces in Israel and the .

The Men's Club hopes to continue this tradition and encourages all veterans to participate.

Bat Mitzvah

Livia Peyton Chapnick, daughter of Michael and Abbie Chapnick, and sister to Jacob, will celebrate her Bat Mitzvah at Temple Torat Emet on January 20, 2018. Livia is currently in the7th grade at Somerset Academy. She has also attended Ben Gamla Charter School and Meyer Academy, and is a graduate of Wiston Family Torah Tots at Torat Emet. Livia has been a member of the Temple Torat Emet family since birth. She is a constant face on Shabbat morning and at all holiday events. Livia loves challah dipped in wine and matzo balls on Shabbat. Livia loves crafting, exercising, family night, snapchatting and horseback rid- ing. She is proud to have done her first jump on an English saddle this year. She has an active social life, and is at her happiest when she is with her cous- ins, with whom she spends her summers and vacations. Livia`s Mitzvah theme is Re-use, Reduce, Recycle. Most decorations for her Bat Mitzvah are from upcycled materials. Her Mitzvah project is collecting old used sneakers for recycling through the Nike program.

Israel Affairs Israel Bonds

Temple Torat Emet’s newly formed Israel Affairs/Israel Bonds committee is off to a great start!

On November 28, several of our members attended a Central Palm Beach County Israel Bonds Unity Event for Israel. This program was coordinated by the Israel Bonds Palm Beach office and led by the office Executive Director, Mark Ruben. Torat Emet joined Temple Beth Tikvah and Temple Beth Kodesh in support of Israel Bonds, and the evening was informative and very enjoyable. Ambassador Ido Aharoni, Former Consul General of Israel in New York, was an inspir- Honorees Judith and Larry Moskowitz ing keynote speaker, and our own Judith and Larry Moskowitz were with Ambassador Aharoni Mark Ruben honored for their long-time commitment to Israel and Israel Bonds. The goal of our committee is to engender community support for Israel and Israel Bonds by sponsoring a biennial bonds breakfast and providing programming with topics relating to the state of Israel. We are happy to have the support of Rabbi David Siff, President Anschel Weiss, and Ritual Director Michael Klein—all of whom share our passion for Israel, our Jewish homeland.

Committee members are Tova and Barry Adesnik, Susan Hyman, Michael Klein, Larry Moskowitz, Donald Porges, Alan Pransky, and Eugene Zinbarg. We will meet monthly beginning in January 2018.

If you have any questions regarding the purchase or redemption of Israel Bonds, please contact the Israel Bonds office at 561-988-3066 and speak with Effie Regev.

B’shalom!
