Community & Transcendence
By Rabbi Daniel A. Weiner
As I write this, classic Seattle “Junu-ary” is finally mellowing into temperatures more appropriate to this first week of summer. And as I reflect on what to share for a Tidings piece that comes out in August and will be the last prior to a late High Holidays, I am reticent to speak on any subject with a tenuous expiration date. If the last year has taught us anything, it is that the cycles of fate, change, and uncertainty bear out the folly of all who seek to predict or prophesy. And yet, the timeline between my keystrokes and your eventual (and hopeful) reading of this offers a potent opportunity to reflect on more enduring and encompassing themes.
Perhaps this need is for the best, in that our turbulent times cry out for the constants that anchor us amidst the tempests of the moment. Fortunately, our tradition provides just such ballast to balance us and provide a broader perspective in a world that seems to bely our agency and control. These two staples of Judaism–and all faith traditions more generally—are community and transcendence.
Next to the foundational value of justice, community is perhaps Judaism’s most central ideal. All the most significant events that happened to our people occurred in community: the Exodus from Egypt, the Giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai, and the Conquest of the Promised Land. Our tradition strongly encourages worship within a minyan of at least 10 others, and the rabbis remind us that we must “not separate ourselves from the community.”
Many have noted a post-Oct 7th surge in participation in the Jewish community. Previous marginal or infrequent touchpoints have given way to increases in synagogue membership and growing interest in Jewish culture and education. What began as a reaction to growing threats and a shaken confidence in our place
DANIEL A. WEINER SENIOR RABBI
in society seems to be expanding into a positive and proactive immersion in all things Jewish. Temple is well positioned to provide the resources, the relationships, and soon the renewed facility to meet this moment.
And the second staple of Jewish life is a sense of transcendence. It is a seeking out of meaning and purpose, providing less the answers to the mysteries of existence and more a thoughtful context to ask the right questions. It is less about affirming a clear God-concept and more an exploration of our connections to the things and ideas that help us to feel a part of something larger than ourselves. Again, what Temple provides is unique amongst the many duties, distractions, and dalliances that fill our days without ultimately sating our souls.
And so, as you read this in the waning weeks of summer, and in anticipation of the fall challenges to stability that lie ahead, take a step back to appreciate the bigger picture. Rely on Temple to offer the comfort and confidence that has sustained our people through the struggles and strivings of those upon whose shoulders we stand, as we turn our gaze toward the horizon of—God willing—better and brighter days.
Letter from Our Board President
By Alison Handlin
ALISON HANDLIN TDHS BOARD PRESIDENT
It’s hard to believe that my first year as President has already come to an end. I’ve learned a tremendous amount this year and am grateful to Temple’s Board, clergy, and staff for all their support.
This year was a challenging one for the Jewish community, and Temple didn’t just meet the moment –we took proactive steps to build an even stronger future. It was heartening to see our congregation come together to support Israel: to wrestle with our feelings together, to learn from world-class experts, and to advocate for the release of hostages. Throughout the year, we
saw extraordinary growth in membership, program attendance, and enrollment in Bridge Family Religion School. In June, we capped off the year by celebrating our beloved Executive Director, Lisa Horowitz, and by taking a historic vote to expand the scope of our Seattle campus capital campaign.
This fall, I’m looking forward to honoring Temple’s history at our final High Holy Day services on the Seattle campus before we break ground on our capital project in early 2025. I’m excited to welcome our 2024-25 Board of Trustees and to build on the strong foundation we’ve laid for Temple’s future. And I’m thrilled to start working with Paula Markovitz, Temple’s next Executive Director, who will begin her tenure in September.
I know firsthand how welcoming Temple is to newcomers, and I know that Paula has a warm welcome in store for her this High Holy Day season. I look forward to introducing her to you at Temple this fall!
Warmly,
Please contact Emma Silverstein, Development Manager, at esilverstein@tdhs-nw.org or (206) 492-5260
Rabbi’s Corner
By Rabbi Brett C. Weisman
The word for “change” in Hebrew (shinui) is very closely related to the word for “year” (shana) – and for good reason! Change, for better or for worse, passive or arduous, necessitates newness: a new perspective, a new attitude, a new disposition, a new year!
I am sure I speak for most when I say things have been moving pretty quickly and change seems to be unfolding at a rapid pace. It can be hard to keep up. I can’t help but wonder, are there any breaks on this wild ride?! It is so important that we take time to slow down, observe, and even find a moment to appreciate these changes taking place. How good it is that Judaism and Temple life create these opportunities naturally?
Every Friday, we have the opportunity to enjoy Shabbat, which encourages us to assess the previous week, rejuvenate, and prepare ourselves to take on a new week. We have sacred times and gatherings like Sukkot, Passover, and various programs that Temple offers throughout the year that invite the community to be with one another, see each other’s faces, and hear each other’s stories.
Of course, the big celebration of stopping to appreciate life changes is the High Holy Days, just around the corner. On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we get to celebrate our achievements, try and understand the moments where we fell short, but most importantly, step forward and upward toward becoming the best versions of ourselves; to be better today than we were yesterday.
There is a rabbinic principle from Talmud Rosh Hashanah that says, “M’shaneh makom, m’shaneh mazel the one who changes their position, changes their disposition.” Or, as the great sage Jimmy Buffett sang, it’s all about “changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes.”
BRETT C. WEISMAN ASSOCIATE RABBI
Judaism is dynamic, living, and vibrant, and it requires us to be in constant tension with maintaining our traditions and encouraging innovation and change. In the next year, Temple will undergo a considerable amount of change, and this can be scary and exciting. But most importantly, it is an opportunity for all of us. One way to embrace this change is to get involved with all of the amazing happenings going on and discover (or rediscover) your connection with Temple.
I encourage you to check out the Connections @ Temple page on our website to learn about various interest groups that have formed and are in the process of forming at Temple. If you are a mover and a shaker, I encourage you to form your own interest group (we are here to help!). Connections @ Temple is an incredible opportunity to create deeper relationships and deepen our sense of community as we enter into a new year full of meaningful change.
Shana tova–may you traverse this year’s foreseen and hidden changes with grace, patience, and this community beside you.
Temple Transitions
As Temple’s community continuously grows and evolves, so does our staff. Over the last few months, Temple has encountered various transitions, including saying “see you later” to some of our beloved leadership. We have also had the pleasure of hiring among our already established staff and bringing on more talented individuals to the team.
Allow us to re-introduce you to current staff members who have transitioned to different roles within Temple and help us in welcoming a couple of our newer hires! Stay tuned for more introductions in our next issue.
JESSIE CUNNINGHAM
Director of Jennifer Rosen Meade Preschool
I am excited to write to you as I step into the role of Director of Jennifer Rosen Meade Preschool! For the last four and a half years, I have served Temple as the Associate Executive Director, managing facilities, security, human resources, and the Hills of Eternity Cemetery. In my capacity as Human Resources Manager, I worked closely with preschool leadership and staff. When the director position opened up, I saw it as an opportunity to get back to my roots as an educator. I spent the previous 14 years creating all educational programming at the Northwest Railway Museum. By the time you read this, we will have finished up summer camp, and teachers and staff will be busy preparing for the new school year, with the High Holy Days right around the corner. I know this new year will be that much more meaningful for me and I hope you find meaning in your new year, too.
LEAH LEVY Director of Engagement for Families with Young Children
Hello! I’m Leah Levy. A familiar face to some, and a new face to others! After several rewarding years as the JRM Preschool Director, I am excited to transition into the parttime role of Director of Engagement for Families with Young Children. My time leading the preschool was filled with moments of joy, growth, and community building. In my new role, I am looking forward to expanding my reach beyond the preschool walls. I am particularly enthusiastic about creating opportunities to support parents in their journey and providing resources and opportunities for them to connect with one another. I am also eager to connect with you - the
parents of little ones at Temple - and look forward to a sweet year ahead!
NATHALIE AUSTIN Membership Manager
Though I grew up in the desert of Phoenix, Arizona, I have happily called Seattle “home” for the past two years.

There, I learned the skills that would launch me into a fulfilling career as a Jewish professional. In March, I joined the Temple team as Membership Manager. I love working with members to get them connected to and involved in the vibrant community we boast here at Temple. Should you have any inquiries about membership here at Temple, I encourage you to reach out!

In the Memorial Book, Temple members record for posterity the names of family and friends they wish to remember. This year’s Memorial Book will be available at Yom Kippur afternoon services as well as online. Print books can be mailed upon request.

Nefesh L’Nefesh’s Important Impact On My Family
By Terry Brashem
As of 2023, over 55 million people worldwide have been diagnosed with dementia. In the United States, over 11 million people provide unpaid care for people with dementia. And yet, despite its prevalence, it remains an isolating disease in every aspect.
These statistics aren’t just numbers to me. I am one of those caregivers. I know how hard it is to watch a parent and/or a spouse lose their cognitive function. I know the challenges of the resulting behavior changes. Whether you are experiencing this yourself or seeing cognitive changes in a loved one, you do not need to face this alone.
The one positive aspect that has come from my husband’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is the wonderful people I have become connected with. Rabbi Weiner, the Temple staff, and I created Nefesh L’Nefesh, a support community for people living with cognitive changes and their family members. Our monthly
Spousal Support Group, led by Carin Mack, MSW, has allowed us to share experiences and seek information/ advice/support.
In addition to the Spousal Support Group, Nefesh L’Nefesh hosts celebrations and educational opportunities. NLN is for anyone who has a family member or friend living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia. It is also for individuals diagnosed with MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) and those who care about them. The word “dementia” still has a stigma associated with it that may be holding some people back from seeking the support they deserve.
Being part of NLN has brought me new friendships, strength, joy, and purpose. No one needs to feel as alone as I did when my husband was diagnosed.

News from Shomrei Adamah: Vote No on 2117
In the spirit of L’dor V’dor (from generation to generation), Jewish values compel us to take action to ensure our world is one in which future generations will thrive.
This fall, Temple’s Environmental Committee, Shomrei Adamah, joins a coalition of partners urging Washington residents to vote NO on Initiative 2117. The aim of Initiative 2117 is to repeal the Climate Commitment Act (CCA), a landmark legislative program passed in 2023. The passage of Initiative 2117 would devastate the progress that our state has made in slowing and mitigating the negative effects of climate change.
What is the CCA? The Climate Commitment Act, already enacted into law, caps and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from Washington’s largest emitting sources and industries, allowing businesses to find the most efficient path to lower carbon emissions. This powerful program works alongside critical climate policies to help Washington achieve its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 95% by 2050 (Source: Washington Department of Ecology).
Your vote of “NO” on 2117 will protect CCA programs that:
• Improve the health of our communities, especially in frontline and overburdened communities, by reducing toxic air and water pollution
• Increase the sustainability and resilience of forests to wildfire by supporting local conservation efforts
• Fund access to high-efficiency home heating appliances for low- and moderate-income households to save money on their monthly energy bills
• Preserve the health of our children and environment through zero-emissions school buses, expanded clean public transit service, and no-cost transit for youth
• Develop clean energy projects, like solar and wind, which create jobs across our economy
(Source: Earth Ministry)
Thank you for your attention to this consequential and sacred issue. Look out for Shomrei Adamah’s education and advocacy opportunities for “Vote No on 2117” coming in September, and don’t forget to vote!
Take a look at the impact of the Climate Commitment Act! Visit this website for more resources including an interactive map of the projects funded by the CCA: earthministry.org/cast-your-vote-washington
What’s In Store for Our BFRS Students
By Stacey Frishman Delcau, Director of Education
This coming year at Bridge Family Religion School, we are poised to welcome many new families. We are so excited to bring these families into our “tent” and are focused on working with our teachers to create a welcoming environment. We are kicking off our new programming year with a BFRS Color War on Sunday, September 22, where both our returning and new families can come together in fun and competition to build community.
Every year, we pick a focus to guide our teachers through the most pressing issues and educational needs of our day. This coming year, our focus is two-fold. With the constant changing of world events and the upcoming election, we want to provide our students with a framework to have productive disagreements. We learn from the debates between Rabbi Hillel and Rabbi
Shammai how to have a machloket l’shem shamayim – a disagreement for the sake of heaven (or constructive conflict). We can learn from these two rabbis about how to have personal or communal disagreements in a constructive way.
On the flip side, we are working with our teachers to incorporate more fun into content and content into fun. Bringing play to our programming helps students with building skills around collaboration, creating a growth mindset, and having fun!
We are looking forward to kicking off this new programming year and can’t wait to share new experiences with you all.
Kever Avot Service: Remembering Our Loved Ones
One of the services Temple offers for the upcoming holiday season is Kever Avot.
It is a traditional service where you can remember loved ones who have passed. Sacred Journeys at Temple has supported and helped plan the service for members of our community who want to participate in this tradition. This year, the Kever Avot service will be held:
Sunday, October 6th, 2-4 PM
In-person and streaming Butterworth / Arthur A. Wright Chapel 520 W. Raye St., Seattle, WA 98119
What is Kever Avot?
Kever Avot refers to the Jewish custom of visiting the gravesides of parents or close relatives to honor their memory. Jewish communities and our Temple have long practiced this tradition of honoring our loved ones between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
As we all look forward to the Jewish holidays, we often think of the loved ones we have lost. They celebrated holidays and milestones with us and brought meaning to our lives. This service allows us space and time to remember them after they have passed.
Who can attend this service?
No matter when your loved one has died, or where they are buried, we hope you will attend this service and light a candle in memory of them. If you attend virtually, have a candle nearby to light during the service.
What kind of service is it?
Kever Avot is a casual, yet very meaningful service, led by Rabbi Weiner. It is a time to reflect on love, loss, and moving forward into a new Jewish year.
Sacred Journeys welcomes you.
Sacred Journeys provides coffee and refreshments before the service to welcome you as a part of our Temple family. After the service, if you have loved ones buried in the cemetery, you can visit their gravesites and leave a stone, provided at the cemetery by Sacred Journeys.
For more information, please reach out to Jennifer Phillips, at jphillips@tdhs-nw.org. Sacred Journeys always welcomes volunteers. Contact Jennifer Phillips if you are interested in learning how you can be a part of this group.
Sacred Journeys is supported by the William and Edith Warshal Fund for Sacred Journeys, and by donations from Temple members.

Ways to Support Temple This Fall
By Emma Silverstein, Development Manager
Your gifts are critical to Temple’s success: you create opportunities to celebrate and uphold Jewish values for all, a cornerstone of our mission. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to launch our new Wrestling with the Moment program, provide more opportunities for our preschoolers to learn about Judaism, and bring in special guest speakers like Kenneth Stern and David Bernstein. As we enter fall, there are even more ways you can maximize your impact.
Sponsorships
Whether you are celebrating a lifecycle event or want to fund a program that resonates with your values, we offer opportunities for you to support Temple’s meaningful work by sponsoring, or underwriting, a particular experience or event. Opportunities include Shabbat pre-negs, our annual Chanukah Celebration or Purim Festival, Shabbat dinners for our members, and more. We are excited to help you find a sponsorship opportunity that feels right for you!
Corporate Matching
Many companies will match contributions made by their employees, enabling you to double or even triple the impact of your gift to Jennifer Rosen Meade Preschool or our tikkun olam programs. Check with your employer to see if they have a formal or informal matching program. Because Temple is a religious institution, some companies may qualify the specific funds you may contribute to at Temple to be eligible for a match.
Annual Campaign – Because We’re Family
Save the date: this year’s Annual Campaign kicks off October 3! In keeping with the traditions of the High Holy Days, Temple’s Annual Campaign fundraiser is an opportunity to give back with a gift of tzedakah. During this year’s campaign, we are prioritizing the High Holy Days Fund (for greatest needs) and the Jennifer Rosen Meade Preschool Fund. Your generous contributions to
one of these funds will make a transformative difference in all areas of Temple life – both today and in years to come.
More Ways to Make an Impact
As always, you are welcome to give to a fund that aligns with your interests or those of a loved one. Choose from our list of funds that support Temple’s community and programs: from camp scholarships to security, and everything in between. Scan the QR code below to give now!

Capital Campaign Fall Update
178-0!
That was how members voted to approve expanding our scope and raising our campaign goal from $18 million to $22.5 million to achieve our vision for the Seattle campus. With this momentum, we have raised more than $19 million as of mid-July, with new donors stepping up each week.
The expanded scope prioritizes additional improvements that make sense to undertake as part of our larger 16th Avenue transformation of the plaza, foyer, sanctuary, and infrastructure. These new items include significant improvements to our iconic sanctuary dome, further upgrades to the bimah, along with security upgrades beyond those in our original plans, now including a security vestibule at the main entrance.
Since October 7, more than ever Temple has been a moral anchor, gathering space, and place of belonging for our members and the greater Jewish community –many coming for the first time, or first-in-a-long-time.
As our campaign continues through the coming year, we are on track to “break ground” in the first
quarter of 2025, and then a year from then welcome everyone into transformed spaces that will be beautiful, flexible, accessible, and sustainable for the future.
Watch for a dedicated campaign website with concept images coming in September, and in the meantime, here’s a sneak peek!
Barb Maduell, Senior Director of Capital Campaign and Major Gifts bmaduell@tdhs-nw.org

Capital Campaign Honor Roll (as of July 25 , 2024)
Temple acknowledges and thanks the following members and community friends whose early commitments to the capital campaign have brought our vision to renew the Seattle campus closer to a reality. An alphabetical list will continue to be published in future editions of Tidings. Toward the completion of the campaign, donors will be listed by giving level, unless they prefer otherwise.
Temple is profoundly grateful to The Loeb Family for their visionary investment in Temple’s future.
