Greetings from Our Executive Director

By Lisa D. Horowitz LISA D. H O R OWIT Z E XECUT IV E D IR ECTOR

Dear Friends, Joy and gratitude. These are the first words that come to mind when I think about High Holy Day services at Temple – this year more than ever.

The High Holy Days offer us the opportunity to gather in community to contemplate, celebrate, and connect.

Gathering for the first time in two years will bring a special joy and gratitude that we have arrived at this day. This year we celebrate the simple fact of being together in person!

You have, by now, received information about the changes necessary to return to in-person High Holy Day services. Behind the scenes, our clergy and staff have been busy preparing for every aspect of our return together – planning, polishing, and taking care of myriad details to make things run as smoothly as possible.

I am deeply grateful to the colleagues who have worked so hard for months to make our return to be together meaningful, safe, and joyous. And we are all profoundly grateful for your support, which makes all this possible.

Warmest wishes for a sweet New Year, Lisa

Letter from our Board President

By Aaron Alhadeff A AR O N AL HADE F F T DH S BOAR D PR E S I DE N T

Friends, It is truly an honor to have taken on the role of Temple’s Board president. Having grown up at Temple, married my wife Emily here, and now raising our sons Max and Charlie here, I deeply value Temple’s role in each of our lives. As an active member of Seattle’s Jewish community, I also have a profound appreciation for our role in the broader community.

I also have a great appreciation, literally and figuratively, for my predecessor in this position, Don Loeb, who has left such a strong foundation for us to build on. Don, thank you for your tremendous service!

My focus is always on relationships and not on transactions. The relationships we have with each other, with our wonderful clergy, and with our dedicated staff are the key to Temple’s success, both today and into the future. Also critical to Temple’s mission are the many partnerships we have with Jewish and non-Jewish organizations.

These relationships maximize Temple’s impact in our community.

I am always open to hearing from you. Our Board represents the approximately 5,000 individuals who call Temple De Hirsch Sinai “my Temple.” I take that obligation very seriously, as I know my Board colleagues do.

We will be reaching out throughout the year, both formally and informally, to learn what your hopes and dreams are for Temple’s future and how we can work together to achieve those dreams. We hope that you will be receptive to our invitations to dialogue; only through these conversations can I,

TEMPLE TIDINGS | SUMMER 2021

and our board, ensure that we are being responsive to our community.

Other focal points for our work as a Board serving our congregation in the coming year will be navigating coming out of COVID and rebuilding our in-person community, while also recognizing and adopting the “COVID keepers,” those practices that we adopted during the pandemic that will be appropriate to continue.

I am thrilled that we have resumed in-person services, to know that our children will be back at Bridge Family Religion School in person in the fall, and that we will be in-person for High Holy Days, when I will be able to address our congregation at services. So please don’t forget that Erev Rosh Hashanah is the Monday of Labor Day weekend!

I want to express my deep gratitude to everyone who kept our community together over the past year: • Our Board and committee members, who attended countless Zoom meetings • Our clergy, who created a sense of community and intimacy through Zoom services, who comforted the many among our congregation who were bereaved or despondent over the past year, and who helped bring joy to those celebrating happy occasions such as b’nai mitzvah and weddings • Our educators at both Bridge Family Religion School and Jennifer Rosen Meade Preschool, whose resiliency and creativity were great role models for our children • Last, but far from least, our administrative staff, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make the magic happen This has been a tough year and a whole village has been working hard on the bimah, in the classroom, and behind the scenes: thank you all. I thank all of you for the honor and trust of serving as the President of the Board of Trustees for the next two years.

Rabbi’s Corner: Back in Blessing

By Rabbi Daniel A. Weiner DA N I E L A. W E I NER S EN I OR R ABBI

I usually tune out from the few commercials I’m forced to endure on the little broadcast television I still watch, but this one cut through the filters that sustain my sanity in these stimuli-saturated times.

Accompanying the images of unmasked families enjoying unhealthy chain-dining cuisine was a meta-melody—one that elicited the very nostalgia that was its subject. It was John Sebastian’s twangy, folky ode to yesteryear, “Welcome Back,” serenading an on-thenose celebration of our post-pandemic longing to get out and feel normal again, fortified by a blooming onion and stuffed potato skins.

But cleverly, it was also a trigger for Boomer nostalgia for the 1970s, when it served as the theme song for the classic sitcom “Welcome Back Kotter,” a Proustian madeleine projecting many of us back to the era of big cars, little gas, disco suits, and the other kitschy artifacts of our halcyon days.

Though I won’t link a similar hot hit of the 70’s to our return to Temple, I feel I need to qualify my impulse to “welcome all of us back” in that we never really left. Though cyber-shul was less than ideal, we celebrate our success in moving much of our communal life online, offering ease of use to greater numbers than in the pre-pandemic world of physical space.

But there is an undeniable sense that we are

returning to home from someplace else—joining together again in ways that are deeper and more enduring than what Zoom and best intentions could offer.

To welcome back blends memory with imagination, a reclamation of the past towards a re-embrace of the future. And our tradition adds an additional layer of meaning and purpose to this concept, for welcoming is more than a gracious gesture of return. We say: Bruchim Ha-baim—Blessed are those who come. To offer a blessing is more an aspiration than an imperative, more a hopeful plea to God than an invoking of divine power. It amplifies the gesture of welcome beyond politeness and etiquette to encompass gratitude for reunion and reconnection. Such a blessed welcoming reveals an awareness of the tenuousness of life, the uncertainty that is inherent in our being.

And it is an affirmation of the fortune, fate, or Force that has enabled us to come together again as a Temple family—hopefully a bit wiser, more road-tested, and more resilient for the trials of our absence.

And so, in welcoming all of us back to Temple with the blessing of Bruchim HaBaim, we celebrate what is renewed, offer thanks for the ties that bound us while we were apart, and pray that we are strengthened by the challenges that have forged us as we, once again, walk our shared path toward the promise that lies ahead.

FAM ILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN

Families with Young Children

By Rabbi C.B. Souther (formerly Schulman), Associate Rabbi

When the pandemic began, Temple quickly pivoted to provide online programming for the entire community.

During these many months we have learned a lot about how to engage online with our youngest congregants.

Our tried-and-true Friday night Shabbat Junior shifted from an in-person dinner and service, open to the community, to a 30-minute online singalong. Families and kiddos could see one another and sing along with Chava and Rabbi Schulman. Parents set screens up on dinner tables, in living rooms, in the kitchen while they cooked, and kiddos were able to get some shpilkes out before bedtime.

We have continued our partnership with PJ Library and the Jewish Federation of Seattle on Bim Bam Baby Havdallah. This is another opportunity to sing shabbat songs and hear a story while children and parents get to

check in and connect with each other. It is a community-wide event that draws a wide range of participants.

Finally, we have a full year of Do-It-Yourself Jewish ritual guidance with The Art of Shabbat Curriculum, a video-based introduction to all of the rituals of Shabbat, from beginning preparations for the day through Saturday night and setting intentions for the week to come.

If you have children between the age of 0 – 5 years old, please join our newsletter for weekly updates. For more information, reach out to either Rabbi Souther (csouther@tdhsnw.org) or Madeleine Biller (mbiller@tdhs-nw. org). We look forward to celebrating Shabbat with you!

JENNIFER ROSEN MEADE PRESCHOOL

Jennifer Rosen Meade Preschool

By Leah Levy, Preschool Director

Before we jump into a new school year, we have some important students to honor! On July 31, the Leopards (Pre-K) will celebrate their time at JRM with the annual Shalom Service. Morah Laurel and Morah Aliya are helping students prepare for this special milestone.

Though we are celebrating as a community on Zoom, the Leopards and their parents will gather in person for a private Tot Shabbat with Rabbi Weiner in August. We are so proud of the Leopards Class of 2021 and are looking forward to welcoming many of them to the Bridge Family Religion School in the fall!

It is a long-standing tradition for Leopard families to give a class gift. Parents partner with the teachers to come up with something meaningful that represents the students and is meaningful to the school. It is not often to come up with that perfect gift - something that is practical and sentimental.

This year’s Leopards class really hit the spot by purchasing something for the playground that is not only useful but brings Jewish values to life. It’s called a Buddy Bench.

The idea is simple - if a child feels lonely, they can go to the bench as a signal that they need someone to play

with. Another child will see them, go and talk to them, and include them. Students have already started using it and the Leopards love seeing it on the playground at the Bellevue campus.

Interested in JRM? Contact Leah Levy, at llevy@ tdhs-nw.org.

BRIDGE FAMILY RELIGION SCHOOL

Bridge Family Religion School

By Stacey Delcau, RJE

Connection. Community. Belonging.

The moment every child steps into our building they automatically have something in common: being Jewish.

The next step is our responsibility. Our job is to make sure they find additional things in common; whether it is an interest in sports, acting, music, video games, or favorite foods. Community building focused on facilitating these relationships is at the top of our priority list.

We are so excited to have everyone back in person in our buildings for this coming school year. We are most excited about our 8th grade and high school programming. We are piloting a new program in 8th grade called JCAT- the Jewish Court of All Time sponsored by the Jewish Theological Seminary and the University of Michigan. Students assume roles of historical and contemporary figures, delve into a court case based in Jewish history, explore its current impact, and debate issues in the voices of these characters.

“We are piloting a new program in 8th grade called JCAT - the Jewish Court of All Time sponsored by the Jewish Theological Seminary and the University of Michigan.”

We are so grateful to Bobbi Bridge for continuing to support the professional development of our teachers. Our teachers are the cornerstone of our program and the stronger their knowledge in areas such as Judaic studies, Hebrew, and classroom skills the stronger our program. This grant affords us the opportunity to pay for our teachers to learn and for their time. Valuing our teachers is a top priority. Contact the Education Team with any questions!

TEENS & YOUTH GROUP S

Teens & Youth Groups

By Jessie Stott, Teen Engagement & Sixth Grade Coordinator

At Temple we have many opportunities for teens to get involved. Some programs are led by Temple staff, and some are led by the teens themselves. We believe offering these programs is important in fostering strong relationships between Jewish teens, keeping students engaged and connected to their Jewish community, and building a safe space for genuine conversations and strengthening Jewish identity.

Our teens can choose from a multitude of programs like our Hadracha (teaching assistant) program where students become leaders and role models in the classroom, TDSY (Temple De Hirsch Sinai Youth) events where teens create connections to each other and their identity, the TDSY Leadership Team where teens gain leadership skills, and the weekly TDSY Tuesday classes with the Rabbis where teens can ask big questions and dig deeper into more mature topics.

We are so excited to be able to offer trips again this year!

Our 8-9th graders will be going to L.A. over MLK weekend, our 9th-10th graders will be going to Alabama and Georgia with Etgar 36, and our 11-12th graders will be going to New York City over Spring Break. If you would like more information about teen opportunities, please email our Teen Engagement Coordinator Jessie Stott at jstott@tdhs-nw.org.

DEVELOPMENT

Introducing the L’Dor VaDor Society: a promise to Future Generations When you make a legacy gift – one that Temple will receive in the future – you confirm your place in Temple’s 123-year-old history and ensure that our community remains vibrant for generations to come.

What will your legacy be? Two couples share their stories.

Stephanie Carmel and David Oder We joined Temple in 2002, when our kids were three and five years old. We were looking for a Jewish community, liked the Rabbis, and took a “leap of faith” as we knew no one at TDHS and had no family in Seattle.

Almost two decades later, some of our fondest memories are of Sunday School mornings, sitting in the Seattle Chapel during the service, and hearing all of the kids singing prayers in Hebrew by heart.

We decided to make a legacy gift as our way of making an investment in the future of Reform Judaism in Seattle. As a first-generation family, we have been so impressed with the way Temple leads in the Seattle community and we are honored to be a part of it.

What do we imagine Temple will be like in 2050? We hope that future generations are enjoying time with their families at Temple, people are making lifelong friends just as we have, and the sun is still shining through the Moses window during Friday night services in the summer.

Emily and Aaron Alhadeff Both of us grew up at Temple – literally – with Aaron first attending services in a baby carriage and Emily listening to her dad blow the shofar for decades. While we first met at the JCC preschool and attended JDS together, going to Sunday School each week was a huge factor in our maintaining a constant friendship.

It’s always been our second home.

As adults and parents, we’ve watched our Temple experience go full circle. Our sons are surrounded by extended family in the same seats where our parents and grandparents sat, and are repeating many of our best childhood memories, while also creating their own.

While our roots run deep, it’s Temple’s leadership role in the Jewish and greater community that inspires us to invest in Temple today, and to have made a legacy gift, for the future. We not only hope that our kids and their kids have the same feelings of belonging and safety as we’ve had; we want that sense of home and tradition for everyone – including those who didn’t grow up here.

How do we imagine Temple in 2050?

Temple isn’t a place; it’s a way of being. We see our strong congregation standing for the same core values it does today - progressive, open, accepting, innovative, and dynamic.
