The High Holy Days represent such an important part of our annual cycle that this change just compounded the disorienting feeling Covid-19 has brought to our lives. Our congregation is blessed to have clergy who are dedicated, creative, resilient, and compassionate. With the support of our staff and many talented people, our clergy provided us with beautiful and meaningful services. Many of our High Holy Day traditions were incorporated into our virtual services. It was wonderful to have the Mazel Tones kick off Rosh Hashanah morning services with their rendition of “L’shana Tova Tikateivu.” We were inspired by the messages from our Congregant Hour speakers – Joyce Fox, Ralph Levy, and Greg Averbuch. We were touched by Brad Gioia’s story of resilience during the Yom Kippur study hour. We Jimmy Marks appreciate the efforts of Betsy Chernau, Sally Wolfe, Bridget Pounds, Mitzie Russell, and Doris Shacklett to compile Our Book of Remembrance. Our clergy sought to create in-person experiences with our Tashlich services around the city. It was heartwarming to see our fellow congregants and have our spirits lifted by the warm video greetings. While we have learned how to use technology to reach our congregants, let us hope next year we will be celebrating a new year together in-person. While much of our attention has been focused on meeting the immediate challenges of Covid-19, it is important that we also continue to look to the future. About three years ago, planning began to transform our Temple Pre-School playground into an outdoor learning space. Through the unwavering leadership of Past President Joyce Friedman, Corye Nelson, and Lisa Shmerling the transformation is complete. We are indebted to them for their vision and efforts to bring this project to fruition. Also, we appreciate the work of the Pre-School Advisory Committee; Jamie Brook, Kevin Falik, and Lauren Wachsman of our Parent Fundraising Committee; the Temple Staff; Sari Barton, our landscape architect; Fred Yazdian, our general contractor, and all the donors who contributed to make this project a success. It is uplifting to be able to celebrate this wonderful new learning environment to be enjoyed by our children. Meeting the challenges of today and building for the future. Together, we can continue to make The Temple a strong sacred community. Gift of Outdoor Play Prepares Our Children for Their Future

The Bolt Steering Committee has decided for the safety of our participants, staff, and volunteers, to host the first ever VIRTUAL BOLT! While not being together in-person to race is disappointing, we are encouraging runners to focus on what they can do instead of what they can’t do. Nashville has suffered so much in 2020, and we need to KEEP CALM AND BOLT ON to raise money for our homeless neighbors! The Boulevard Bolt, organized by volunteers, is a collaborative effort of Immanuel Baptist Church, St. George’s Episcopal Church and The Temple Congregation Ohabai Sholom in Nashville. We have donated $3,395,000 to the homeless community in Nashville. The 2020 one-of-a-kind race t-shirt states just that, and we hope you will continue with the tradition and join us virtually this year – for more information on the logistics, see our registration page. http://www.boulevardbolt.org/our-crew A virtual race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on a trail, on a treadmill, at the gym, or on the track the 5-miles during November 23-26, 2020. You get to run at your own pace and you can even get your friends and/or family to race with you! Submit your results to our website by midnight November 26, 2020. Watch for results on our webpage by November 27, 2020. Watch the mail for your official 2020 Boulevard Bolt race t-shirt!

November 2020 - www.templenashville.org - 615-352-7620 ~ page 9 Religious School by Rabbi Michael Shulman New Curriculum for Our Religious School! We are excited to share that our Religious School has partnered with the Institute for Southern Jewish Life to provide a new curriculum for our students in grades K-10! Our teachers have been provided with detailed virtual curricular materials to help provide general Jewish content for students of all ages. The ISJL’s pilot education program began with 10 communities in the four states of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Today, the program serves dozens and dozens of communities and congregations throughout the South. The ISJL supports us in three important ways: • Curriculum: The ISJL’s comprehensive curriculum is designed to give teachers the tools they need to create a meaningful Jewish educational experience for their students and to provide a common First Grade body of Jewish knowledge throughout our region. • Community Support: They don’t just offer remote support - they also provide personalized outreach to our community throughout the year. The community support from the ISJL’s dynamic Education Fellows are part of the ISJL’s unique curriculum delivery system. • Conference: The annual Education Conference is an opportunity for networking with other ISJL Education Partners, hands-on orientation to the curriculum, ongoing professional development and enrichment, shared learning experiences, and more. The ISJL Education Curriculum is a spiraled curriculum, in which students revisit key content areas with increased sophistication as Third Grade they progress through their years in Religious School. The curriculum is updated not only to add content, but also to ensure it’s in line with current educational best practices and ever- evolving pedagogical understanding.

November Calendar Hebrew School for Grades 4-6 November 4/5, 11/12, 18/19 Post Con for Grades 11 & 12 November 4, 11, 18 Fourth Grade Religious School for Grades K-10 November 1, 8, 15, 22 Specific Information about each grade including links to Zoom Classrooms, Hebrew homework assignments, and resources for continuing the Jewish learning at home can be found on thetemplehub.org.

The 10 key content areas are: Community, Culture and Symbols, God, Hebrew and Prayer, Israel, Jewish History, Jewish Sixth Grade Holidays, Jewish Lifecycle Events, Mitzvot and Jewish Values, and Bible. The curriculum is developmentally appropriate, nurturing students’ Jewish identity, equipping students to live rich and meaningful lives. There are a variety of activities in each lesson that implement the idea that students have different learning styles. Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic learning activities are used throughout each lesson. Even though our year began with virtual learning, our teachers are working hard to roll out elements of this new curriculum during our Sunday virtual sessions. For more information about the ISJL curriculum, please contact Rabbi Michael Shulman, Director of Education, at [email protected] page 10 ~ November 2020 - www.templenashville.org - 615-352-7620 Preschool by Moon Bishop, Co-Director & Family Liaison New Perspective for Two-Year-Olds One of the principles of Reggio-Inspired practice is to really listen to children – not just what they say with their words, but what they communicate through non-verbal means such as behavior. Recently, our Kavod classroom teachers, Ms. Brittany and Ms. Jordan, demonstrated this concept beautifully. When their 2- and 2-½-year-olds began climbing on the tables in the classroom, the teachers could have easily reacted by telling them “no,” gently moving them from the tables, and that could have been the end of it. Instead, Ms. Brittany and Ms. Jordan stepped back to consider what the children were communicating through this seemingly “naughty” behavior. Spoiler: it wasn’t just about testing boundaries. It’s true that, at this age, children need to test boundaries. In part, it’s to begin asserting their own agency, but also to see where the limits of those boundaries are in the real world. They do this not just because it’s kind of fun to get a reaction from adults, but also because knowing the boundaries and that they will be enforced provides a sense of safety and security. Even if I go past the boundary, my grownups will still love me and keep me safe. Additionally, climbing is a natural, necessary, and important stage for children this age, and it is important to us that we provide those climbing opportunities while also keeping the children safe and our dining tables free of shoe germs. As Ms. Brittany and Ms. Jordan assessed what was happening in the room and genuinely sought to understand what all the motivations behind the climbing were, they realized two things. One, that they could find a way to turn a “no” into a “yes,” and, two, that it wasn’t just any climbing opportunity the children were in search of; they were seeking to explore different perspectives in space – specifically through climbing on tables. A table is more than just a flat surface; it is sturdy and wide enough to walk on easily. A table is higher than both chairs, and most climb- ing furniture specifically designed for toddlers. Standing atop a table means a young child can see more of the room and from an interesting and exciting, new perspective. The power of “table climbing” provides toddlers with a sense of confidence in their bodies that they can only get by successfully getting to the top on their own. So, how did Ms. Brittany and Ms. Jordan decide to address this situation? They created a more interesting and safe climbing area for the children to explore that included a couple of small tables (and lots of cushioning). They made sure that there were multiple avenues for the children to use to get up on the tables – a ramp, a series of smaller climbing furniture, etc. They then discussed with the children why this table is safe for climbing and why the dining table is not appropriate. Within a couple of days, the children stopped climbing on the dining tables and transferred all their curiosity and physical needs to the new climbing space. The teachers can now help the children reflect and problem-solve by asking questions such as “Does that feel safe?” and “How will you get down from there on your own?” They incorporate simple math ideas by talking about “higher” and “lower”. Simple physics comes into play when the children drop toys from varying heights. Balance, core strength, and gross motor development are also all a part of the new climbing space. This reflective approach to teaching is what makes our school and our teaching staff so special. In addition to all the things already mentioned, this response to the children communicates a level of trust and confidence the teachers offer the children. And who doesn’t need a new perspective now and again? November 2020 - www.templenashville.org - 615-352-7620 ~ page 11 W.E.L.L.
