Through a strong Jewish community, we better ourselves and the world.

Together in Community This year, our Temple Judea community embraced the timeless teaching Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh L’Zeh, all of Israel is responsible for one another. These pages reflect the many ways we showed up for one another through worship, learning, celebration, service, and community. Together, we strengthened the bonds that make Temple Judea not only a synagogue, but a home. We hope you enjoy looking back on the memories and meaningful moments that brought our community together throughout the year.

With Gratitude for this Sacred Community, President's Letter

With Gratitude for This Sacred Community As I prepare to share my final Tidings message as President of Temple Judea, I find myself reflecting with deep gratitude on the journey of the past two years.

Many of you may recall that I did not initially seek out this role. Yet, as my predecessor thoughtfully challenged me during one of our many conversations, “If not now, when?”

That “now” became July 1, 2024. It is remarkable how quickly time has passed, and equally remarkable how much we have experienced, accomplished, and strengthened together as a community.

As my term concludes on June 30, 2026, I do so with a full heart and a profound sense of appreciation.

Serving as President has afforded me the distinct privilege of working closely with our extraordinary clergy, Rabbi Siegal, Rabbi Fisch, and Cantor Segal, whose wisdom, compassion, and leadership guide our congregation each day. I am equally grateful for the partnership of our exceptional senior staff, Sharon Israel Moskovitz, Danielle Spiegelman, and Seth Lewis Levin, whose professionalism, vision, and unwavering dedication are foundational to Temple Judea’s continued growth and vitality.

At the same time, what makes Temple Judea truly special extends far beyond leadership alone. Over these past two years, I have developed an even deeper appreciation for the many individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes such as our department directors, administrative professionals, educators, and facilities team. Their commitment ensures that our synagogue remains not only operationally strong, but warm, welcoming, and deeply caring in every interaction and experience.

I am also profoundly grateful to our lay leaders, our Board of Trustees, committee chairs, and the many volunteers who give so generously of their time and talents. Temple Judea is strengthened by your passion, your ideas, and your shared belief in the importance of community. Together, you embody the very spirit that sustains and propels us forward.

Reflecting on our accomplishments, I am filled with pride. Over these two years, we have successfully renewed contracts for our clergy and senior staff, ensuring continuity and stability in our leadership. We thoughtfully adopted a Code of Ethics, reinforcing our shared commitment to respect, accountability, and integrity. We strengthened our financial operations and refined our budget processes, positioning our congregation for long-term sustainability.

It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as your President.

We also celebrated meaningful moments together including a memorable gala honoring our rabbis and their enduring impact on our community. At the same time, we have witnessed extraordinary momentum in the LEV Campaign, with unprecedented levels of generosity and participation. This growth is not simply financial but a powerful reflection of belief in our future.

Today, we stand at an exciting threshold. We are actively collaborating with architects and interior designers to bring our campus vision to life. The restoration of our iconic front arches will be completed in time for the High Holy Days; a meaningful symbol of renewal; while broader construction, refurbishment, and reimagining of our spaces will continue to unfold in the months ahead.

As I prepare to pass the presidency to Lawrence Lambert, I do so with great confidence and optimism. He will inherit a community that is strong, united, and forward-looking well-positioned for continued growth and impact. I know that under Lawrence’s thoughtful, steady, and forward-looking leadership, Temple Judea will continue to thrive and reach even greater heights in the years ahead.

It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as your President. I am deeply proud of what we have accomplished together, and even more grateful for the trust, support, and partnership you have extended to me throughout this journey.

While my term as President comes to a close, my commitment to Temple Judea remains steadfast. I look forward to continuing to serve as Immediate Past President and as a member of the Board of Trustees, supporting the important work that lies ahead.

Wishing each of you a restful, safe, and meaningful summer. I remain inspired by this community and excited for all that we will continue to build together.

With deep gratitude,

Jan

Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh L’Zeh: A Year of Sacred Connection

by Rabbi Judith Siegal j.siegal@judeagables.org As this year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting with profound gratitude on the many ways Temple Judea has brought this year’s theme to life: Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh L’Zeh, All Israel is responsible for one another. This teaching has not remained abstract or aspirational. It has been lived, embodied, and made real in the daily life of our congregation.

Time and again this year, we have witnessed sacred connection in action. We have felt it in worship and in study, in the Margaux School, Religious School and Club Judea Afterschool, in B’nai Mitzvah preparation and Holocaust education for our sixth and seventh graders, in moments of joy and in acts of service, in our care for one another, and in our commitment to extending ourselves beyond our walls. From Mitzvah Day to the Parents Association Art Auction, from Jewish Heritage Day at the Marlins game to the work of our Social Action Network, we have answered the call to show up for each other and for those in need.

Temple Judea was enriched this year by extraordinary experiences: the wisdom of our Scholar-in-Residence, Rabbi Sirkman; the music and soulfulness of our Artist-in-Residence, Elana Arian; the thought-provoking Books & Books program with Rachel Goldberg-Polin; and the powerful witness of our Yom Kippur speakers, Shalev and Yunis. We gathered in especially meaningful ways at our South Dade Women’s Seder, our Temple Family Second Night Seder, our Temple-wide Erev Rosh Hashanah Dinner, and our Annual Yom Kippur Breakthe-Fast, each filled beyond expectation and each reflecting a deep yearning for Jewish connection, learning, and belonging.

Throughout the year, we also studied Torah, learned from inspiring teachers, and raised our voices in support of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.

Our LEV Campaign reflected the generous heart of this congregation, reaching unprecedented heights with our largestever gift and our largest-ever matching gift.

That generosity will help us continue the vital work of renovating, reimagining, and renewing our sacred spaces for the future.

For me as a representative of our temple, it has been a great honor to serve as President of the Rabbinical Association of 4

TIDINGS YEARBOOK 25-26

Greater Miami and to help restart the MOSAIC Miami Interfaith Clergy Dialogue. Both roles have reminded me that our responsibility to one another extends outward as well, calling us into deeper relationship with the broader Jewish world and with our neighbors of other faiths.

There is, of course, so much more that could be said. But perhaps that, too, is part of the message. A sacred congregation is not built in one moment, one program, or one prayer. It is built day by day, heart by heart, act by act, through the quiet and holy work of showing up for one another. For all the ways you have helped make that truth real this year, I am deeply grateful.

"...Thank you for being the kind of Temple Judea members who inspire us and give us the strength to serve as your clergy with energy, purpose, and spirit."

A Year of Gratitude The phrase “thank you” may not appear in the Torah in quite the way we use it today. There are certainly echoes of gratitude throughout our sacred tradition, but not this exact expression. Still, even if the Torah does not say it this way, your clergy certainly does: thank you.

Thank you for worshiping with us on Shabbat, on the Holy Days, and for so warmly welcoming our Israeli guests, Shalev and Yunis.

Thank you for the words you shared that uplifted us, challenged us, and deepened our learning, especially in Torah Study. Thank you for showing up for Israel, as together we cried, cheered, and held the many emotions of this difficult and sacred moment.

Thank you for helping lead one of the most successful Mitzvah Days we have had in over a decade, supporting local charities and organizations, Israel, and our teens. We have so much to be grateful

by Rabbi Jonathan Fisch j.fisch@judeagables.org for. Thank you for prioritizing the needs of those around us, for showing up at the Florida Everglades Migrant Detention Facility, for listening to Father Frank from the Guatemala Maya Center, and for being present for Mental Health Shabbat. Time and again, you have shown up, and you have done so with heart, compassion, and great energy.

Thank you as well for your extraordinary generosity as we prepare our spiritual home, Temple Judea, for a major transformation through the LEV Campaign. And finally, thank you for being the kind of Temple Judea members who inspire us and give us the strength to serve as your clergy with energy, purpose, and spirit.

The Torah may not use these exact words, but we do: Thank you for an incredible year.

A Year in Harmony

by Cantor Lisa Segal l.segal@judeagables.org

As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting with deep gratitude on the voices that have filled our sanctuary on various occasions and holidays, voices both seasoned and new, powerful and tender, each carrying something sacred.

We welcomed our new accompanist and choir director, Pat Seymour this year. With his talent, commitment and creativity, our Adult Choir has never sounded better and has once again been a cornerstone of our musical life. Their commitment goes far beyond Monday night rehearsals and Shabbat services. They show up after long workdays, balancing family, responsibilities, and the many demands of daily life, yet still bring focus, warmth, and devotion to every note. What makes this group so special is not just their musicality, but their willingness to listen to each other, to the text, and to the emotional undercurrent of our liturgy. Together, they transform prayers into shared experiences, elevating not only the service but everyone present. In Pat’s own words, "Working with the adult choir has provided an opportunity to collaborate with members of the Temple Judea community who come from all walks of life with the shared purpose of creating meaningful music. It's a pleasure to spend this time with them."

inspiring has been the growth of our Children’s Choir. There is something uniquely powerful about young voices in a sacred space.

They remind us that joy, curiosity, and sincerity are at the heart of spiritual expression. This year, I have watched these young singers gain confidence not only musically, but personally. From tentative first rehearsals to standing proudly before the congregation, they have embraced the courage it takes to be heard. More importantly, they have learned that their voices matter, that they are an essential part of our community’s song.

Music in a synagogue is never just about performance. It is about connection: to prayer, to community, and to something greater than ourselves. Both our adult and children’s choirs embody this beautifully. They remind us that whether our voices are polished or still developing, each one has a role in shaping the spiritual life of our congregation.

To every member of our choirs, thank you. Thank you for your time, your energy, your openness, and your heart. It is a privilege to make music with you and to witness the way you enrich our community.

As we look ahead to the coming year, I am filled with excitement for what we will continue to build together, one note, one breath, one voice at a time. Please consider joining us, I promise it will add fulfillment to your life!

A Message of Gratitude and Community

by Becca Lago b.lago@judeagables.org As I reflect back on this past year, one word rises above all others: community. I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for this special congregation and for each of you who make it so meaningful.

This year, we were proud to welcome over 60 new members into our sacred community, a testament to the warmth and vibrancy that define Temple Judea.

Whether you join us weekly for Shabbat, participate in Next-Gen or Social & 60 gatherings, attend guest speaker events, holiday dinners, offsite outings, community service initiatives, children’s programming, adult education, or simply stop by to say hello…we are so happy you are here.

Our community thrives because of the many ways we come together, both on and off campus.

I encourage everyone to explore the Temple Judea Weekly each Friday to discover the wide range of services, learning opportunities, and social experiences available to you.

We are deeply grateful to each and every one of you; whether you have been part of Temple Judea for decades or just days. As the year comes to a close, thank you for being with us and for contributing to the spirit that makes this community so special.

Please feel welcome to stop by my office anytime to say hello, share a suggestion, or explore ways to become more involved.

Wishing you all a wonderful summer. I hope that in between your plans, you will continue to join us, whether in person or online, before we gather again for our Welcome Back Shabbat Service and Celebration on Friday, August 28.

L’Chaim,

Becca

LEV: A Year of Heart, Vision, and Historic Momentum!

by Danielle F. Spiegelman d.spiegelman@judeagables.org

As we prepare to close another meaningful year at Temple Judea, we do so with profound gratitude and pride. What began as a bold vision has become a defining chapter in our congregation’s nearly 80year history, raising more than $3 million in 7 months.

The LEV Campaign, our collective commitment to reimagine, renovate, and restore our sacred campus, has galvanized our community in extraordinary ways over the last fiscal year. To date, over 260 families have stepped forward in partnership, helping us approach $7 million raised toward our $10 million goal.

The Heart of Our Community LEV, meaning heart, is not just the name of this campaign; it is its essence.

As we look ahead, plans to elevate and renew spaces that honor our traditions while inspiring generations to come. We are also fortifying our historic front windows, upgrading our entrance, lobby, Sanctuary, Social Hall, Aibel Family Courtyard, and Grossman and Silverman Rooms.

This year’s progress has been shaped not only by broad community participation, but by meaningful and precedent setting leadership.

Gathering in Community: Parlor Meetings That Matter Equally impactful this year were the LEV Campaign Parlor Meetings, generously hosted by the Booken, Cassel, Gershman, and Siegel families, bringing the messages of our campus vision to life in a deeply personal way. These intimate gatherings created space for meaningful conversation, connection, and inspiration.

Parlor Meetings

We are deeply grateful to the families who hosted these evenings, and for guest speakers such as Stuart Grossman, Rabbis Judith Siegal and Jonathan Fisch as well as musical accompaniment by Cantor Lisa Segal setting the tone for authentic engagement and helping to expand our circle of support.

Our LEV Campaign Co-Chairs and Leadership Committee: From Vision to Action This year marked significant and tangible progress: • We officially engaged an architect • We launched a national search for an interior design partner • We continued our valued collaboration with trusted internal and external partners to guide this complex and transformative process • We advanced thoughtful planning across multiple campus priorities Every step has been taken with intention, care, and a commitment to excellence.

We especially thank our Campaign Co-Chairs, Margie Baron & Michael Spritzer as well as Julie & Gary Simon. While we celebrate this remarkable progress, we are equally inspired by what your entire leadership community plans to spearhead in the coming year.

This Community Effort, With Even Greater Potential Ahead To every donor, volunteer, leader, and advocate: thank you. You have made this the most successful fundraising initiative in Temple Judea’s history to date. More importantly, you have demonstrated what is possible when a community comes together with purpose and heart.

The coming year will be one of continued momentum and meaningful milestones. With exciting announcements on the horizon including leadership gifts, community-wide initiatives, and opportunities for engagement, the path toward our $10 million goal is both clear and within reach. With 260 families already participating, we are reminded of what is possible, and we imagine what could be achieved with 100% community participation as we welcome our final year of campaign fundraising and begin building these dreams!

From Learning to Living: A Year in Adult Education

by Seth Lewis Levin, Education Director s.lewislevin@judeagables.org

“From bearing witness to

It has been a transformative year for Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh L’Zeh Adult Education at Temple Judea. From bearing witness to global events to deepening our personal spiritual practices, we have truly lived the value of being responsible for one another.

Throughout the year, our community found meaningful ways to connect, learn, and grow together. We kicked things off at the Board Retreat with Dr. Ira Sheskin, gaining vital insights into the evolving landscape of our Jewish community. Our Scholar-in-Residence Weekend brought powerful learning experiences, as Rabbi Jeffrey Sirkman challenged us to use Torah as a compass for the complex life choices we face as adults. During our Artist-in-Residence Weekend, Elana Arian, alongside Cantor Lisa Segal and ACC President Josh Breitzer, infused our congregation with new melodies and soulful song during Parashat B’shalach.

global events to deepening our personal spiritual practices, we have truly lived the value of being responsible for one another.”

As the year unfolded, we also leaned into moments of witness and advocacy. We navigated the evolving realities of Israel’s future by hosting October 7 survivors and policy experts through immersive lectures and film. In partnership with Books & Books, we co-hosted Rachel Goldberg-Polin, who shared her powerful story of pain and optimism regarding her son, Hersh. At the same time, we continued to take action locally by expanding our Adult Hebrew program to intermediate and advanced levels and standing up for South Florida immigrants through the Social Action Network.

Shabbat served as a spiritual anchor throughout the year, grounding our learning and reflection.

Through our partnership with Pardes, we brought the Mahloket L’Shem Shamayim curriculum to our Religious School families, exploring how to navigate difficult conversations with grace.

We were also honored to host Mussar founder Alan Morinis, who shared insights from his latest book, The Shabbat Effect, on how Shabbat can transform our daily lives.

Looking ahead, we are already working with our clergy to curate a 2026– 2027 season filled with new voices and inspiring scholarship.

Emerging Leaders: Shaping the Future of Temple Judea

This cohort of 12 exceptional Emerging Leaders represents a dynamic cross-section of our community, including Board members, Early Childhood Committee Chairs, Budget Committee representatives, Religious School ambassadors, and Next-Gen leaders.

Over the course of five enriching sessions, participants engaged with Temple Judea’s lay and professional leadership, gaining insight into our history, our three pillars, worship, education, and community, and our vision for the future.

We were delighted to sit down with a few participants to reflect on their experience and ask: What have you learned through this program that has inspired you to invest in the future?

“Participating in the Emerging Leaders course was such a valuable experience that we will always cherish. Getting a behind the scenes look at how all the pieces of Temple Judea fit together really illustrates the hard work and dedication that makes this place possible. Spending time with our fellow emerging leaders, staff, and clergy inspires us to not just show up for our community, but to lead. We are so grateful for this opportunity and we look forward to continuing to strengthen our Temple Judea relationship.”

- Hayley Sukienik & Michael Levey

“In the EL program, we quite literally learned how the sausage — rather, gefilte fish — is made. Meeting with TJ lay leaders, staff, executive committee members, and clergy, I’ve had the privilege of listening, learning, and offering my thoughts about life as a TJ member. Though I’ve known it for years, I got a renewed sense that TJ really is what we want to make it. TJ is more than a twice-a-year stopover; for me, it is an investment in the future of our community and my family.”

- Richard Shane

“It was enlightening for me to take a peek behind the curtain of the Temple’s business side of the house. Like any modern successful organization, the Temple needs to engage in thoughtful planning to identify long and short-term goals to align its vision for the future with fiscal and operational priorities. All this has to be done while staying true to its core mission and values. I am interested in contributing to the next round of strategic planning for Temple Judea, a process that will lay the groundwork for our community’s future growth and success.” - Naomi Levi Garcia

TIDINGS YEARBOOK 25-26

Reflecting on a Year of Connection

by Gaby Enser Tangir Religious School Director g.ensertangir@judeagables.org

As we bring another vibrant year at our Religious School to a close, we find ourselves reflecting on the powerful theme that guided our journey: Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh L’Zeh, all of Israel is responsible for one another.

This ancient principle was more than just a motto; it became the heartbeat of our hallways, classrooms, and community gatherings.

From the very first day of the 2025–2026 academic year, our students and teachers set out to turn this concept into action. We didn’t just learn about Jewish values; we lived them. By emphasizing our shared responsibility, we transformed individual grade levels into a cohesive, supportive group of learners who look out for one another.

Our focus on communal responsibility allowed us to deepen our connection to Jewish traditions.

Whether we were gathering for festive holiday celebrations or participating in meaningful T’filah, prayer services, the atmosphere was charged with a sense of belonging. Learning this year was a dynamic, hands-on experience. Teachers and students collaborated on projects that extended beyond the classroom, emphasizing that our education is a tool for helping others. This year, we prioritized student agency by integrating choice based learning into our religious school curriculum. Recognizing that every child connects to Judaism differently, we shifted from a rigid schedule to a model of shared responsibility, where students actively steer their own spiritual and cultural engagement.

Whether they were exploring Jewish themes through hands-on creativity in Omanut (Art) with Mrs. Paula or tasting the traditions of our heritage in Bishul (Cooking) with Mrs. Andrea, students took ownership of their weekly experience. This autonomy extended to physical expression as well: students could choose the highenergy camaraderie of Gaga ball with Tiago or the rhythmic tradition of Israeli Dancing with Meital.

Empowering them to define their own "way of connectivity" represents a commitment to a community where engagement is not forced but chosen. We further expanded this sense of communal duty through our new "Madrichim Tzeirim" (Junior Counselors) program. By inviting our 6th and 7th graders to serve as helpers in the younger classrooms on select Sundays, we provided them with a tangible leadership role within the school.

Of course, a year in review wouldn't be complete without mentioning the joy! From spirited games and youth activities, like making S’mores with Ian for Lag Ba’Omer, to creative arts, communal meals, and age group family Shabbatot, we found countless ways to celebrate our bonds. We end this year not just as a school, but as a family. As we head into the summer, we carry the spirit of arevim ze l’zeh with us, knowing that we are forever connected by the community we built together.

Big Values, Little Learners

by Jackie Vera, Early Childhood Education Director j.vera@judeagables.org When we think about Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh l’Zeh, it seems as if it were a big concept, particularly for young children.

And yet, throughout this school year, we have seen how naturally our early childhood community lives this value each and every day. In many ways, it is the children themselves who remind us what this looks like in its purest form.

From our youngest learners in Playgroup through our Pre-K classrooms, acts of care, responsibility, and connection have been woven into daily experiences. In Ms. Anna and Ms. Tania’s Spanish Playgroup, children instinctively comfort one another when a friend is hurt or feeling sad. In Ms. Maika and Ms. Ashley’s Playgroup, teachers intentionally introduced songs in multiple languages so that every

child could feel seen, heard, and included. In Ms. Debbie and Ms. Alexa’s Two's classroom, children participated in collecting tzedakah, working together to purchase diapers for families in need, which is an important and meaningful introduction to communal responsibility.

Our educators, too, model this value in inspiring ways. Ms. Yuli, our Spanish Immersion Teacher Leader, recognized a lack of accessible Jewish children’s books in Spanish. In response, she took initiative to author and publish her own, expanding access not only for our students, but for Jewish children around the world.

These moments, both big and small, reflect a shared commitment to caring for one another. Whether children are helping clean up, watering plants, or waiting for a friend before transitioning, they demonstrate that responsibility to others is not just taught, but it is lived. This year, our community has truly embodied Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh l’Zeh in meaningful and lasting ways that the children will take with them forever.

“From our youngest learners in Playgroup through our Pre-K classrooms, acts of care, responsibility, and connection have been woven into daily experiences."

From Afterschool to Community

by Yohandra Perez-Rosales Club Judea Director y.perez-rosales@judeagables.org

This year Club Judea has been defined not only by meaningful experiences and connections, but by the incredible growth of our community. Grounded in our Jewish traditions, culture, and our learning theme, Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh l’Ze, we have seen our program flourish as more children and families became part of our shared journey. With that growth came deeper relationships, stronger connections, and a vibrant sense of belonging that was felt each and every day. Our children truly lived this value, showing care, kindness, and responsibility toward one another in a way that strengthened our entire community.

strengthening our elementary program. Our goal is to build on this year’s growth, welcoming even more children into our community while maintaining the warmth, connection, and sense of belonging that make Club Judea so special.

One of the most special parts of our daily routine has been Z’man Kehilah. Each afternoon, before snack time, we gathered as a growing community to share special moments and celebrate one another.

These gatherings became a cornerstone of our program, where we welcomed Shabbat, experienced Havdalah, and explored Jewish holidays in meaningful and engaging ways.

Our enrichments were another highlight, offering opportunities to explore passions and discover new interests. From Clay Club and Jewish Cooking to Hebrew, Science Lab, Archaeology, Musical Theatre, and more, each experience supported both individual growth and community building.

As we look ahead to next year, we are excited to continue this momentum by expanding and

Chag Celebrations A Year of Tradition, Joy & Community

Throughout the year, Temple Judea gathered to celebrate the beauty and meaning of our sacred holidays with joy, connection, and community spirit. From welcoming the sweetness of a new year to filling our campus with the light of Chanukah, the laughter of Purim, and the traditions of Passover, each celebration brought us together across generations. Through worship, festive gatherings, acts of mitzvah, and meaningful moments of reflection, our community embraced the rhythms of the Jewish calendar while strengthening the bonds that connect us to one another.

Erev Rosh Hashanah Dinner As the New Year 5786 began, congregants gathered for an evening of community, tradition, and celebration at our Annual Erev Rosh Hashanah Dinner. Congregants gathered to share a festive, delicious meal catered

by Michael Meltzer, followed by candle lighting and meaningful connection with family, friends, and clergy. The spirit of togetherness filled the room as conversations and holiday rituals set a warm and reflective tone for the High Holy Days. After dinner, many continued into our Erev Rosh Hashanah service, carrying the sense of unity and hope into the new year ahead.

Chanukah Light, joy, and connection filled every corner of congregational life throughout Chanukah as families, students, and members gathered for song-filled celebrations, classroom festivities, and meaningful moments of togetherness throughout the holiday season. We shared in acts of mitzvah through our JCS Kosher Food Bank Chanukah Collection, donating essential items to help bring nourishment and warmth to those in need. Social & 60 enjoyed Latkes, Mimosas & Mitzvot, blending festive tradition with handson service, while Next-Gen gathered for Bowling & Bonding, continuing the celebration with laughter and friendship. Our Chanukah Shabbat Candle Lighting and Oneg filled the sanctuary with music, warmth, and light as we lit chanukiyot together. It was a beautiful season of tradition, generosity, and togetherness.

Purim Joyful energy and holiday spirit came alive during this year’s Simon Family Purim Celebration, generously supported by Williamson Cadillac. Our community gathered for a lively Purim Shpiel, retelling the story of Esther through a creative Taylor Swift-inspired performance featuring clergy, staff, teens, and volunteers, alongside our Adult Choir, Children’s Choir, and Club Judea’s drama students. Following the Shpiel, families enjoyed a vibrant festival across campus filled with music, crafts, games, and hands-on fun for every generation. In the spirit of mitzvah, our community also supported those in need through the Fill the Pantry for Purim and Pampers for Purim drives, donating essential food and diapers to local organizations. Temple Judea celebrated Purim with joy, generosity, and connection.

“Through worship, celebration, and acts of mitzvah, our community embraced the rhythms of the Jewish calendar while strengthening the bonds that connect us.”

Passover Passover brought meaningful opportunities for learning, connection, celebration, and giving back throughout our community.

We supported our college students with Passover Care Packages, sharing a thoughtful taste of home. Our WTJ Gift Shop Passover Pop-Up helped families prepare for the holiday, while the South Dade Community Women’s Seder offered an uplifting afternoon of reflection and connection. The Annual Second Night Congregational Seder brought our community together for a joyful, family-friendly evening led by our clergy, complete with songs, stories, and a festive meal. We also celebrated Passover at the Park with the Miami Marlins while Cantor Segal led the stadium in the Israel national anthem and continued our tradition of giving through the JCS Post-Passover Collection supporting families in need.

With Gratitude A heartfelt thank you to our Temple Judea professional and custodial staff whose dedication, hard work, and behind-the-scenes efforts helped make each celebration meaningful, welcoming, and memorable. From planning and preparation to setup, support, and cleanup, their care and commitment brought these joyful moments to life for our entire community.

I Have a Voice Weekend Temple Judea’s “I Have a Voice Weekend” brought our community together for an inspiring three days of music, learning, and connection, featuring acclaimed Jewish composer and Artist-in-Residence, Elana Arian. Rooted in the belief that every voice matters, the weekend invited congregants of all ages to engage more deeply with Jewish tradition and with one another.

The weekend began with a spirited Shabbat Shirah service, where music took center stage alongside our clergy and Adult Choir.

Filled with energy and participation, the service set the

tone for a weekend grounded in song, reflection, and community.

Following services, congregants gathered for a festive Shabbat dinner, continuing the experience in a warm and welcoming setting.

Throughout the weekend, learning opportunities invited deeper exploration of Jewish music and meaning. A special Friday evening session offered a fresh perspective on how music can serve as a form of interpretation and connection to our sacred texts.

On Shabbat morning, prayer and Torah Study were enriched with melody and thoughtful discussion, creating a meaningful and engaging experience for all who attended.

A special gathering for our Torah Circle members offered an intimate Havdalah, dinner, and musical reflection, bringing Shabbat to a close with warmth and inspiration.

The weekend also included Temple Judea’s annual Mitzvah Day, extending the spirit of the experience into meaningful acts of service across our community.

“I Have a Voice Weekend” was made possible through the generous support of the Eric B. Meyers Scholar-in-Residence Fund and Cantor Lisa Segal’s Mitzvah Fund, leaving a lasting impact on our community.

Mitzvah Day:

A Record-Breaking day of Impact Thank you to everyone who made Mitzvah Day such a meaningful and inspiring success. It was a beautiful day of community, connection, and purpose, featuring hands-on mitzvah projects, drop-in opportunities, and uplifting music from Elana Arian and our Children’s Choir.

We are deeply grateful to our co-chairs, Serena Goodman and Sharon Newman, along with our dedicated project captains and Social Action Network Co-Chairs, for bringing this day to life. Special thanks to MENSch, WTJ, and Cohen & Cohen Apparel for their generous support.

Together, our community raised a record $11,175.50 and completed impactful projects supporting children, families, healthcare, food security, and service initiatives across South Florida and beyond.

The Women of Temple Judea: Together We Make a Difference This past year, the Women of Temple Judea truly lived our theme, “Together We Make a Difference.” Through meaningful connections, shared experiences, and a commitment to giving, we strengthened our sisterhood, supported Temple Judea programs, and extended kindness beyond our walls to the greater Miami community.

From the very beginning, our dedicated WTJ Board thoughtfully planned a year filled with purpose and engagement. The result was a dynamic calendar of membership activities, special interest programs, fundraising initiatives, community service opportunities, and the continued success of our beloved WTJ Gift Shop, enhanced by frequent pop-up shopping events.

Our programming brought us together in both fun and meaningful ways. We kicked off the year with our Petals & Prosecco Membership Welcome Event, setting the tone for connection and celebration. Our specialty programs were a highlight, beginning with the “Graze Anatomy” charcuterie class. In the spring, we gathered for “Miriam’s Cup,” a creative goblet painting program inspired by Miriam from the Passover story. It was a beautiful evening of creativity, connection, and reflection— honoring the strength and spirit of women, past and present.

Commitment to community remained at the heart of everything we did. Guided by the values of connection, tradition, and tikkun olam, healing the world through our actions, we made a meaningful impact both within our Temple community and beyond, creating opportunities to connect locally while enriching the lives of our South Florida neighbors.

Through your participation and support, WTJ continued its proud tradition of giving back to Temple Judea. The funds we raised enabled us to provide approximately 10K in grants that support Temple and preschool programs, as well as our broader community initiatives and our continued commitment to the Lev campaign.

Together, the Women of Temple Judea embodied the spirit of sisterhood, compassion, and connection that defines who we are. As we look ahead, we are excited to welcome new members to our Board and to continue building on the momentum of this incredible year. If you have any interest in getting involved, in big ways or small, we would truly love to have you be a part of it.

Wishing you a wonderful, restful summer. We can’t wait to gather again in the fall and continue this meaningful journey together.

With gratitude and friendship, Nancy Leitman

Braided Blessings

Nourishing Our Community with Love

The Braided Blessings committee, led with warmth and dedication by Katie Kessler, continues to be a shining example of community care in action. This remarkable group, made up of ten devoted temple members, brings comfort and joy to others through the simple yet powerful act of baking and delivering challah.

Over the past year, the committee baked and delivered more than 40 challot to fellow congregants. Each loaf carried with it not only the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread, but also a message of love, support, and connection. Whether celebrating the birth of a new child or offering solace to those mourning the loss of a loved one, these deliveries served as meaningful reminders that no one in our community is ever alone.

Behind every challah is a team effort, bakers who give their time and care, and drivers who ensure each delivery reaches its destination with kindness. Together, they embody the spirit of giving that defines our temple.

The impact of Braided Blessings extends far beyond the challah itself.

Recipients often share how much these gestures mean during life’s most significant moments, bringing light during times of both joy and sorrow.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every member of the Braided Blessings team. Your generosity and compassion have touched so many lives, and our community is stronger because of you.

“We were so grateful to receive the Challah from Braided Blessings.

We felt truly embraced by our Judea community and loved.

Thank you!”

– Rebecca & Matthew Sussmane

Next-Gen

Friendship, Fun, and Meaning Inside the memories

This year, our Next-Gen, Young Jewish Leaders, spent time together across Temple Judea and the community for meaningful connection, learning, and fun. We loved seeing everyone come together throughout the year at dinners, learning experiences with Rabbi Fisch, social gatherings, and community-building events that blended friendship, tradition, and engagement.

From exploring the parsha over dinner and drinks to enjoying a relaxed evening of conversation and connection, each gathering reflected the energy and spirit of our Next-Gen community.

We especially enjoyed Bowling & Bonding at Bird Bowl, where laughter and friendly competition filled the night. We look forward to the upcoming rooftop Shavuot Soirée, where we will welcome summer together with music, conversation, and celebration.

"We are very grateful to have Next Gen as a low-pressure and fun way to spend time with our friends, deepen our connection to Judaism, and serve the greater Miami community. We especially loved kicking back mid-week at Bird Bowl with old and new friends and making PB&J’s for those in need at Rabbi Fisch’s house where we were able to learn about our community partners who help serve the community.”

A Vibrant Year of Community and Connection

The Social & 60 group, led by co-chairs Ellen Gutlohn and Judy Aberman, enjoyed a vibrant and meaningful year filled with connection, conversation, and community spirit. Through thoughtfully planned events, the group brought members together to socialize and give back.

One of the highlights was a joyful Chanukah celebration, where attendees gathered to enjoy delicious latkes, festive mimosas, and the warmth of friendship at Judy Aberman’s home. In the spirit of the holiday, participants also took part in a meaningful mitzvah project supporting the JCS Community Food Bank, assembling donation bags and contributing essential items such as canned goods and household supplies. The event truly embodied the light and generosity of the season.

The group is looking forward to the upcoming “Social & 60’s Sunday Stroll” morning, which will combine a casual breakfast, lively conversation, and a refreshing walk creating the perfect opportunity for members to connect in a relaxed setting.

Another standout event was the Dinner & Dialogue on Israel, featuring guest speaker Brian Siegal of the American Jewish Committee, moderated by fellow member Stephen Rosenthal.

This special evening offered thoughtful insights, meaningful discussion, and a chance for members to engage deeply with important topics while enjoying dinner together.

Throughout the year, Social & 60 continues to foster a welcoming environment where friendships flourish and community bonds are strengthened. We thank Ellen, Judy, and all who participated for making this year so special.

Fill the Fridges

Three Years!

Since launching Fill the Fridges in May 2023, Temple Judea has been delivering sandwiches to Community Fridges across Miami-Dade nearly every week, thanks to the dedication of our incredible volunteers.

Individual members, teen programs, Mitzvah Day projects, and groups like Judea High and Social & 60 have made this initiative a meaningful and consistent source of support for our community. Those who have participated, whether making sandwiches or delivering them, know firsthand how simple it is to make a difference, one sandwich and one person at a time. The individuals who rely on the food donations to these fridges are deeply grateful for our community’s generosity and kindness and will not hesitate to thank you when you make a delivery.

For those who have not yet participated, we would love to have you join us. Fill the Fridges is a collaboration with

Monday Night Meals Concludes the Season

The inaugural season of the revitalized Michael Eisenstat Soup Kitchen, now known as Monday Night Meals, has officially wrapped. After a five-year hiatus, this legacy initiative returned with incredible momentum, attracting over 70 Temple Judea volunteers. Together, they served 1,400 meals across 23 Monday nights (October 20, 2025 – March 23, 2026) at Christ Episcopal Church in Coconut Grove.

While our season has ended, the Coconut Grove Crisis Food Pantry will continue serving hot meals on Monday nights until we return.

This year introduced several meaningful changes to the guest experience: A "Restaurant" Atmosphere In accordance with Father Archer’s vision, guests were seated and waited on by our teams rather than standing in a traditional serving line.

Enhanced Service Our larger volunteer teams were organized into specialized roles, including greeters, waiters, and dedicated drink and dessert stations.

Upgraded Menus We elevated our offerings to include fresh-baked desserts, iced tea, lemonade, and rolls.

Specialized Cooking Three rotating teams each specialized in a signature meal. The guest favorite was the meatloaf prepared by “Sharon the Caterer’s” team, which often featured celebrity chef Dave Barry.

It is important to note that our guest population has decreased significantly since we were last active. This shift reflects the fast-paced gentrification of Coconut Grove and the displacement of long-term residents, as well as the loss of many former attendees to COVID-19.

Special Recognitions Thank you to my partner, Veronica Matzner, and to Brian Wayne, a quiet force who led both a serving and a cooking team. We also thank Anna Forer for ensuring ingredients were ready every Monday morning.

And Katie and Mark Kessler at HSA for donating our fabulous aprons.

The Palace owners aren’t in Corporate Headquarters.

They’re here every day.

Helen & Jacob Shaham founded The Palace Senior Living 45 years ago and they’ve never changed their “hands-on” rule of management. Joined by their sons Zach & Haim, they are familiar friendly faces to every Palace resident.

They come to the parties, seldom miss a birthday, and you can talk to them whenever you want because everyone has their personal cell numbers.

Being personally involved makes a huge difference for the staff as well. That’s why companies like Gallup and Fortune rate The Palace one of the world’s best places to work.

At The Palace, we’re all happy to be here every day. We bet you will be too.
