June/July 2014 Sivan/Tamuz/Av 5774 Vol. 40 No. 7 When the Memory and Celebration Ends, Redemption the Future Begins Near the end of April, the Temple Emanu-El Choir and I participated in a Yom HaShoah commemoration held at the Highland Springs Our Temple | Our Future senior living community in Dallas. The event was conceived and organized by Temple member Special Report, Pages 9-16 Francine Daner, who sings in our choir. By the time the program began, the community room was packed. The audience included Jewish residents, of course, but a large non-Jewish contingent was present as well.

Cantor Francine had organized the Richard Cohn program so that the musical selections were interspersed with readings on Holocaust themes by local writers, many of whom were well known. Some passages were searing, others reflective, and each was given its voice by a designated member of the community.

In addition, I sang Szenes’ familiar “Eili, Eili” (“O Lord, My God”) and chanted the memorial prayer. The musical sources were varied, ranging from original works by contemporary American composers to haunting (Continued on Page 17)

Friday evening brought the congregation together to honor Rabbi David Stern for his 25 remarkable years of service. The celebration continued Saturday with more well-wishing and some old-fashioned roasting at a fundraising tribute dinner. And Sunday heralded a new era for Temple, as we broke ground on an expansion to build a new, 450-seat chapel, create a central gathering spot, add a new wing for the Early Childhood Education Center, fund youth and learning spaces and enhance the iconic Scott McCartney and Rabbi Olan Sanctuary. Seven years ago, we began asking the Stern break ground for the question: What does Temple need for the future? Nearly future. seven weeks ago, we answered that question with song, a shovel full of dirt and a plea by Rabbi Stern: “Like any path on the way to a vision, this one will be messy. And so we ask God to bless this mess.” 12 | OUR TEMPLE | OUR FUTURE: THE CELEBRATION |
