A MESSAGE FROM THE
Rabbi
Chadesh yameinu kekedem We are in the three-week period of mourning that began with the 17th of Tammuz and comes to a crescendo on the 9 th of Av, known as Tisha B’Av. It is the only day in the Hebrew calendar, other than Yom Kippur, in which the Jewish community observes a full 25-hour fast. Tisha B’Av marks the destruction of the First and Second Temples and is understood to be the beginning of an almost 2,000-year-long exile of the Jewish people from our holy city of Jerusalem. Today, as a community, in addition to the fast, we read from the Book of Lamentations, also called Eicha, which translates to “How can this be?” The text is a heart-wrenching cry by the prophet Jeremiah, as he walks the city now laying in ruin. Looking for a reason for this fall from greatness beyond the external fact of the Romans’ conquest of Jerusalem, the rabbis suggest societal causes for the destruction of the Temples. They say that the first Temple was destroyed because of murderous behavior and the second because of baseless hatred, turning the focus from blaming others or even self-pity to examining how we, our own Jewish
Pg. 2 News and Happenings from Temple Beth Tikvah
community, treat each other. As the prophet Isaiah preached “Learn to do good. Devote yourselves to justice; aid the wronged. Uphold the rights of the orphan; defend the cause of the widow.” The customs and traditions around Tisha B’Av can be a framework by which we can look at societal fracture, hate, trauma, resilience, and hope. As we learn from the prophets and our sacred narrative, the greatest promise offered to Jerusalem was the hope, the faith, that the people could return to upholding the ethical and moral underpinnings of our religion and that Jerusalem would rise like a phoenix, becoming a city of justice once again: “After that you shall be called City of Righteousness, Faithful City” (Isaiah 1.) As our Torah teaches Olam Chesed Yebaneh Justice, equality, and concern for one another will heal the brokenness. Join us here at TBT on Saturday evening, August 6 th at 8:00 PM for our annual Tisha B’Av evening program. We will study, pray, hear the haunting words of Eicha to stir our souls as we reanimate ourselves in working toward a better tomorrow. Chadesh yameinu kekedem
A MESSAGE FROM OUR
President
Hello, Friends Old and New, Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your temple president. Our tradition teaches us that our personal journeys in life should not take place alone.* As such, our lives are fully enriched by the participation in a transformative kehillah, a sacred community. It is within this community that one feels the warmth of others, develops personal relationships, and prioritizes caring. To be part of a kehillah means to have a sense of belonging, a feeling that members matter to each other, and that Judaism can be best lived and experienced through a commitment to be together. Rashi, a 12th century Torah commentator, taught that commandments were given to the entire community – men, women, and children – and, as such, everyone in the community is holy. Holiness, then, is a communal effort and cannot be fully accomplished by an individual apart from the community. To live a fully integrated and holy Jewish life, we cannot separate ourselves. As you may know, my family has been a part of Temple Beth Tikvah from the beginning. My parents and my in-laws were among the founding families of Beth Tikvah. As teens, my wife Dahlia and I worked in the religious school. Dahlia was a teacher’s aide, and I was the music teacher. After college in Indiana, we returned to Roswell, were married by Rabbi Tam, and joined Temple Beth Tikvah as a young married couple. For the past 30 years, Dahlia and I, and our daughters Emily and Hannah, have been proud to call Temple Beth Tikvah our community. This is our home. Temple Beth Tikvah is where in community, my family and I mourned the passing of my grandparents and my mother. TBT is, where in community, we welcomed our daughters with namings, celebrated their consecrations, bat mitzvahs, and confirmations, and hope to see them blessed under the chuppah. TBT is where we have built lifelong friendships and created family with those whose relatives live far away. TBT is where we have been supported and embraced as we navigate the challenges, questions, and joys of life. I am proud of Temple Beth Tikvah, its amazing clergy, its superb staff, its dedicated lay leadership, and its vibrant congregation, of which you are an essential part. This is my home, and yours. As I start my term as your synagogue president, I want to personally welcome you home. We are all part of this community that WE share.
Pg. 3 News and Happenings from Temple Beth Tikvah
A community in which we celebrate our joys and simchas and lift each other up during our times of sorrow. A community in which we pray for understanding, healing, and peace together. A community in which we make connections, nurture relationships with one another and with G-d, and strive to better our world. Whether you have recently attended in-person worship and programming at our synagogue, are participating only virtually, or have taken a break altogether…I want to welcome you back. Come celebrate Shabbat in community. Come for a Sisterhood, Men’s Club, family event, social action, or affinity group activity. Come learn, socialize, and engage with TBT in a way that feels fulfilling and meaningful to you. However you want to join us, you are welcome and needed. Over the next few months, we are going to reach out to find out where your interests lie and make sure you are matched with the wonderful programming we offer. The opportunities for you to become involved are unlimited. We are looking for teachers in our religious school, singers and musicians for worship services, and thinkers and doers for programs and committees. Have ideas for programs or groups you think should be at TBT? We are looking for those, too. How can your amazing talents strengthen our community? What are you seeking in your spiritual home? Let’s reconnect and find ourselves stronger than ever as a TBT community. You’ll be getting information about opportunities to be in community at TBT starting this month. To begin, we look forward to a musical Welcome Back havdalah event on Saturday, August 27. Please mark your calendars; your presence is requested. I look forward to being in community with you very soon.
President

From Tot Shabbat with our littles to field trips for empty nesters and everything in between, we will have something for everyone…and then some! Since I’ve transitioned into this role, I’ve been reaching out to members to find out what you want. A universal response is that you want the TBT community to be more central to your lives. And we want to be! If we haven’t yet had a chance to talk --- How do YOU want to connect with Temple Beth Tikvah? Drop me a line at suzanne@bethtikvah.com, call me at 770.642.0434 or just pop in next time you’re in the building.

PRESCHOOL We had so much fun at TBT Preschool Camp this summer! The children enjoyed playing outside, getting messy, and who can pass up delicious ice pops and ice cream?! The water slide was a big hit,
as were our Splish Splash Shabbat events. It was nice to see some of our teens, who attended TBT Preschool when they were little, now working at camp: it was a full circle moment. Summer camp went by so fast, and we are now preparing for school. The beginning of school is always an exciting time. We have incredible Preschool teachers, and look forward to the start of another great year. Please join us on Friday, August 12th from 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM for our Back to School Splish Splash Shabbat. We will have kiddie pools, water tables, our incredible water slide, and yummy food and dessert. RSVP to linda@bethtikvah.com if you can join us. I hope that everyone has a wonderful school year. We look forward to seeing all of our preschool families soon. Preschool Director

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL Dear TBT Families Thank you so much for welcoming me into this new role as Religious School Director! I am excited to move into this position at TBT and can’t wait for the school year to start! A little bit about me – I am a career educator with experience at all grades, both in the classroom and out. Most recently, I have served as a school administrator for the past 18 years, working with high school students in the Orthodox Jewish community first, and then with 4th-8th grade students in a local public school. My philosophy of education is simple: students (and adults) learn best when content is relevant and meaningful, and when they are actively involved in their learning. For the past 10 weeks I have been working at URJ Camp Coleman, serving as the Etgar (challenge) supervisor as well as the Program Director for Coleman’s newest specialty camp, Coleman Quest. I have had the honor
and privilege of collaborating with rabbis and educators from around the Southeast and have delighted in seeing Jewish education come to life, not only in camp programming, but also in the casual discussions that happen as campers sit around a campfire or chat over a meal in the dining hall. I look forward to replicating that energy at TBT this fall and will be working with our Religious School and KiCKs teachers to add experiential Jewish education to our Sunday morning and Monday evening curricula. Students learn by doing, and even more so when they have fun doing it. Chuggim will include more handson activities with a Jewish theme. In addition, Bobbee Griff, Youth Engagement Director, is busy planning some exciting trips for our teens for fall and winter. You will also see a slight shift in curriculum at the younger grades to better utilize the Shalom Learning curriculum and incorporate more Hebrew content. These changes will not be drastic, but rather will play off the strengths of our Religious School teachers and work to fill gaps we have noticed in our students’ preparedness for B. Mitzvot and beyond. Outside of the school building, I am an avid outdoorswoman who loves to hike and explore the world. Together with my husband of 23 years, I have raised 3 children – Jordan (almost 21), Abby (19), and Eve (14). They are actively involved in TBT youth programming (when they are home!) and have enjoyed calling TBT their synagogue family for the past 7 years. I return home from camp in early August. Please feel free to stop by the office, call 770-642-0434 ext. 208 or email judy@bethtikvah to say hello. It’s going to be a great year at TBT! Judy Limor, Religious School Director

Additionally, Drew participated in HOTTY all through his high school years, and served on the NFTY/SAR Regional Board. Now a college grad, Drew co-taught the 8th/9th grade Kesher class with me, and substituted in the Sunday morning Religious School program this past academic year.

SIMCHAS Nate Pupko will become a Bar Mitzvah on August 20, 2022. Nate, a rising 8th grader at Hightower Trail Middle School, is the son of Marty and Kristin Pupko. Born in Orlando, Florida (and a huge fan of Disney World), Nate and his family moved to the Atlanta area in 2011. In addition to being an honor roll student, Nate plays lacrosse with Pope High School’s recreational lacrosse league, recently taking up the position of goalie, and is part of the HTMS band and chorus. Nate also enjoys playing video games with friends, watching the Braves, golf, and attending live theatre. He is also an awesome "big bro" to his four-year-old brother, Avi.
Robert Micah Leitman will become a Bar Mitzvah on September 3, 2022. Robbie is the son of Jill and Hal Leitman, and brother to Jarrett Leitman. He is the grandson of Margie Aarons, Michael and Carol Aarons, the late Robert Leitman, and Gladys and David Herckis. Robbie is entering the 8th grade at Fulton Academy of Science and Technology, where he participates in the Student Council. He is currently a green belt in Taido Karate, and he enjoys playing video games, spending time with friends and family, and attending overnight camp every summer at Camp Barney Medintz. For his primary Mitzvah Project, Robbie participated in the Better Together class with seniors at Temple Beth Tikvah. In this class, teen participants bridged the gap between the different generations and engaged in meaningful activities together. During this class, Robbie learned about older traditions and how they have impacted current practices. His favorite activity was learning hands-on how to make Matzo Ball soup from the seniors! Robbie also volunteered with Meals by Grace, packaging and delivering food to those in need. Thank you to Rabbi Shuval-Weiner, Cantor Nancy Kassel, and Rachel Wilson for their valuable time in preparing Robbie for his Bar Mitzvah. We are extremely grateful to all of our family members and friends who have graciously volunteered to assist and host the weekend events. Our sincere thanks to our family and friends who travel from near and far to support and celebrate this very important milestone with Robbie!

GREEN TEAM Have you noticed the recycling bins on campus, the new dogwood tree at Waller Park, or the beautiful garden planted recently by our 6th grade Religious School students and staff? These represent recent efforts by TBT’s new “Green Team,” to promote environmental awareness in our community. TBT is now a member of Georgia Interfaith Power and Light (GIPL), which focuses on engaging “communities of faith in stewardship of creation as a direct expression of our faithfulness and as a religious response to global climate change, resource depletion, environmental injustice, pollution and other disruptions in Creation.”
Topics discussed at a recent symposium included coal ash, biomass, environmental injustice and the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. If you would like to learn more, check out the Jewish Climate Action Network of Georgia, or email joanna@gipl.org. Be on the lookout for more information from TBT’s “Green Team” later this fall. And check out the first Farm to Temple Market in our parking lot, on August 28th (the first day of Religious School.) Vendors needed (see below), or just come and shop! Looking for ways to help care for the Earth? Recycle, compost, carpool, and vote! Jeanne Schultz, for the TBT Green Team
GIPL’s Eco-Challenge provides an opportunity for communities of faith to learn about pressing climate issues and ways to take collective and individual action. Each month focuses on a different topic and is broken down into three different categories: learn, act, advocate. Prizes are distributed quarterly to the congregation who has had the most engagement and taken the greatest number of action steps over the previous three months.

ANNUAL CAMPAIGN Friends – Our Annual Campaign raised over $120,000 this year, fairly even with the prior year. Thank you to those who donated to the Annual Campaign and as always, thanks to all our members who support TBT through dues, building fund, religious school, programming, security and other funds. Our campaign had a 35% participation rate this year, as in past years. It’s also noteworthy that we’ve benefited this year from several large donations to special funds and initiatives that are already serving valuable purposes at TBT. Our final campaign donor list is on the facing page. Thanks to our fundraising “ambassadors” – Dale Bearman, Dave Faupel,
John Restler, Harvey Rosenzweig, Ron Swichkow and Andy Zalkin. In addition, we raised over $7,000 from our first annual golf tournament at Brookfield Country Club in Roswell. As we gear up for our 36th year, we are excited to see what our “Double Chai” campaign brings. Stay tuned for more on that in the next Kol Tikvah edition. Thank you all for supporting Temple Beth Tikvah! Mark Rudel, Fundraising Chair
