Learning About Our Congregation

by Lisa Horowitz, Executive Director

One of the hallmarks of a vibrant and healthy organization like Temple is how well it understands and meets its members’ needs; another is to continually adapt to meet those needs. We are deeply committed to both meeting your needs and remaining flexible and nimble in order to do so. (And of course, we aim to exceed your expectations!)

We work in many ways to figure out how best to serve our members. Our clergy and professional staff bring a wealth of experience to their positions and use that experience to inform decisions on new programs and events. We also call upon colleagues at our synagogues across the continent for advice and new ideas. And we ask our members in person “how can Temple best serve you?” and “what should Temple’s future look like?” Sometimes that is through an electronic or written survey; other times, our Relationship Managers meet with individuals and families to find out what they want and need from Temple.

Over the past months, we have also held several “Community Conversations” with members and we are looking forward to many more over the coming months. At a Community Conversation, Rabbi Weiner and I, together with some of our Board leaders, have a structured conversation with a group of congregants. While we start out with prepared questions, the conversation often ends up ranging far and wide – which we always enjoy.

When we first started the Community Conversations, we promised to report back to you on what we were learning. One of the most striking things we have learned is how much Temple means to our members. We were moved to hear how much it has meant to our members that Temple exists; that our clergy are responsive and compassionate at difficult times; and that on a personal level, our congregants reach out to each other with support and love.

Nowhere was this clearer than when we met with our high school students. They treasure their time together and the friendships they have forged at Temple. Their deep connection to our community was inspiring: all of us left feeling uplifted by their energy and deep love for Temple.

Another overarching theme was the desire to connect – with Temple, with other members, with the world at large. Time together to socialize, to have fun, to share a glass of wine or cup of coffee, is sought by many of our members. This is an especially important insight as we explore how best to renovate our Seattle campus, and plan for our Bellevue campus.

One feature that has been crystal-clear right from the start was the transformative nature of life-cycle events. Weddings, bris/baby namings, funerals and – most of all, bar and bat mitzvah – are truly transformative for the entire family. Being surrounded by a loving community as your family celebrates a child’s coming of age is deeply meaningful and moving.

Having heard time and again how important the bar or bat mitzvah experience is for our members, we took action. We decided to devote more resources to families at this critical time of life. We shifted Paula Cooper’s responsibilities so that she is fully devoted to families’ needs with students in 6th through 8th grades. Paula can now be found running around any time we have rehearsals, meetings with rabbis or tutors, rescheduling, advising... in short, being a resource for our b’nai mitzvah families.

These are just a few highlights of what we have learned. Please add your voice to the chorus. Call or email Sam Berry to be included in an upcoming Community Conversation. Or be in touch with me to share your thoughts. I would love to hear them: working together, we can help Temple continue to go from strength to strength.

Making Connections at Temple

by Don Loeb, Board President

I always enjoy the High Holy Day services. I love reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, and sharing my thoughts about how Temple serves our diverse and growing community. In my remarks, I talked about some of our congregants’ stories. Now I’d like to share some of the ways that Temple is working to serve our congregants, making connections for a stronger community.

This year, for the first time, Bridge Family Religion School held “block parties” for families to get to know each other before school started. These age- and neighborhood-oriented events attracted several dozen families. Like any pilot program the results were mixed. Our educators learned much that will help them make the block parties even better next year. We know parents who participated enjoyed it because of feedback like this from Jessica and Garrett Fenton: We had a great time with the families that we had over. The kids got along so well. They played basketball on our sport court, and hung out together the whole time... We found out that one of our guests was the freshman college roommate of one of my close friends from my high school in Florida. What a small world! We really had a lovely time and genuinely look forward to hanging out again.

Another first this year will be classes for families with young children in Seattle. While we continue to build our Bellevue programming for young families (Bagels & Blocks, Kisses & Knishes), our staff is also focusing on Seattle.

Shabbat Junior West is growing each month, and we will soon start weekend classes for families with little ones, using a needs survey to ensure that we respond to what families need and want. Young Family Relationship Manager Madeleine Biller is coordinating these new classes, working to bring a new generation of Temple members to our campus.

New last year – and continuing with added vigor this year – is programming for boomers and elders. Temple is proud to coordinate Endless Opportunities for those over 60, creating engaging programs and events held at Temple and other locations throughout the community. And we are especially proud of our Good Life programming, inaugurated last year, with the goal of creating meaning and purpose for the boomer generation. Vibrant dinners, plays, and talk-backs started us off last year; this year, we will continue to add new programs.

Our dedicated professional staff and clergy craft meaningful and engaging programs informed by what our congregants want and need. Surveys, focus groups, one-on-one meetings, and “community conversations” all help shape our programming, helping Temple create enduring connections for our members.

Join us when you can, and reach out and let us know how we can best strengthen your connections to and within Temple.

Leadership & D evelopment

Development Corner

by Aaron Alhadeff and Alison Handlin

The High Holy Days at Temple are always wonderful, not only because our rabbis give meaningful sermons and we get to reconnect with family and friends, but also because we are reminded of the many ways our Temple community enriches our lives.

As Don Loeb said in his Rosh Hashanah remarks, “This is your community, your place for Jewish life and you are welcome here.”

That’s why we are proud to be co-chairing the High Holy Day campaign this year: our contributions make possible the many ways that Temple provides community and makes our lives richer and more fulfilled.

While we both enjoyed the High Holy Days services tremendously, we see what Temple offers us and our families every day: • Good Life programming for boomers.

• Loving pastoral care for our elders and those who are ill or injured.

• Youth programs that bring Judaism to life for our middle- and elementary- age kids, offering opportunities to have

fun with Jewish friends, whether it be at a social justice project or a Mariners game.

• Bridge Family Religion School programs from K through 12, including new internships and leadership programs.

• Jennifer Rosen Meade Preschool and active young family programs in Seattle and Bellevue.

These are just a few of the reasons we support the High Holy Days campaign this year. Join us, please, in helping ensure that all of Temple’s programs continue to thrive while our congregation continues to grow.

Donate to Temple’s High Holy Days Annual Campaign Your contribution makes our community stronger, more compassionate, more vibrant, and more inclusive.

Rabbi’s Corner

More Than the High Holy Days

by Rabbi Callie Schulman, Associate Rabbi

When the Ba’al Shem Tov, the Master of the Good Name, saw misfortune threatening his people, it was his custom to go into a certain part of the forest to meditate. There he would light a fire, say a special prayer. Later, when his disciple, the celebrated Magid of Mezritch, had occasion, for the same reason, to seek divine connection, he would go to the same place in the forest and say, “I do not know how to light the fire, but I am still able to say a prayer.” Still later, Rabbi Moshe-Lieb of Sasov, would go into the forest and say, “I do not know how to light the fire, I do not know the prayer, but I know the place and this must be sufficient.” Generations continued like this until, finally, Rabbi Israel of Rizhyn sat in his armchair, his head in his hands. He said, “I am unable to light the fire, and I do not know all the prayers. I cannot even find the place in the forest. All I can do is tell the story and this must be sufficient.”

We are inheritors of this story, of this experience. For some of us, Jewish ritual and lifecycle practices are the stuff of day to day life, and for some of us, they are foreign and distant. Each year on the High Holy Days, we come together to tell the story – the story of our connection with each other. Certainly, the words of the prayerbook invite us to ponder our own inner worlds, but the true function of the day is to help us connect with our community. It is a kick-off for a year full of opportunities to be together. Now, with all of those fall holy days securely in our rearview mirror, Jewish time might seem far away, but truthfully, Temple is a place where the opportunities for connection abound, year round. Our community is one that functions both in and outside of these walls, and we are eager to be a meeting ground for people to reconnect with each other.

Like our ancestors, we have inherited these patterns of gathering, of coming together at certain times and for certain purposes, but there is also good to be gained from rekindling those connections during ordinary times as well. From weekly learning to monthly social justice opportunities; from mah-jong to mindfulness, Temple has the backdrop against which we hope you will continue to connect, and reconnect, with each other.

Mazel Tov

RABBI CALLIE SCHULMAN

Rabbi Schulman was recently accepted to the Institute for Jewish Spirituality Clergy Leadership Program. The Clergy Leadership Program of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality invites cantors and rabbis to join the more than 400 Jewish professionals who have studied with the Institute to develop their spiritual practice and mindful leadership. Over the course of two years of distance learning combined with in-person retreats, participants will refine the teaching and guidance they provide for Jews seeking spiritual growth and insight. Grounded in their own contemplative practice, they will serve more mindfully as leaders and participate more skillfully in revitalizing Jewish living. We look forward to what Rabbi Schulman will bring to our community from this fellowship!

Voting Our Values in Israel

by Rabbi Daniel Weiner, Senior Rabbi

In my Kol Nidre sermon, I shared some concerns about the growing divide between American and Israeli Jews, and some ways to resolve this challenge. One way is for American Jews to more assertively convey their perspective on how Israel can more fully and authentically represent the entirety of world Jewry.

The struggle for religious pluralism in Israel, a critical value threatened by the Orthodox dominance of Israeli politics and practice, requires a loving critique on behalf of the vast majority of modern, egalitarian Jews. Participation in the World Zionist Organization (WZO), the representative body of world Jewry, is an important and impactful way to insure that the needs and voices of all Jews are considered and concerted into the ongoing Zionist enterprise.

Temple is joining Reform and Progressive congregations around the world in mobilizing our members to register and to vote in the upcoming election to the WZO. More information can be found at the Association of Reform Zionists in America website: arza.org, and WZO details are at https://arza.org/who-we-are/world-zionist-congress-elections/. For more information about our congregational efforts, please contact Steve Pruzan spruzan@miraclelaw.com, Elizabeth Goertzel elizabeth@thegoertzels.com, and Rabbi Avi Fine afine@tdhs-nw.org.

In the coming weeks, we hope you will: 1. Engage with Temple’s efforts to learn more about the importance of the WZO for religious pluralism and the financial support of the full spectrum of world Jewry.

2. Vote during the open election period from January 21st through March 10th. New for 2020 Election: you do not need to preregister to vote as you’ve done in elections in the past. For this election, you will be able to register and vote at the same time during the open election time. We will be sending you links for registration and voting early in 2020.

3. Ask three Jewish friends to vote as well.

To learn even more about the growing Reform community in Israel, please join us on December 6 after Shabbat services in Seattle for a Salon featuring Rabbi Meir Azari, Senior Rabbi of Tel Aviv’s successful synagogue, Beit Daniel.

If our continued bond with the State of Israel is to be as secure, meaningful, and representative of all Jewish interests, we must make our voices heard and our votes count!

Caring Community

Caring Communit y

The Caring Community Story

By Liz Spiezle, Caring Community Chair

The genesis of the Caring Community (CC) started when Gayle Carrol, while serving as Temple staff, was contacted by a congregant in need of assistance post-surgery. Congregants responded to a call for volunteers to help others in need, creating TDHS’s Caring Community.

Temple believes that no one should have to face a difficult situation or illness alone. A foundation of Jewish life is to participate in acts of loving kindness. We are called to visit the sick. CC volunteers assist others in many meaningful ways, including rides to doctor appointments and Shabbat services. We provide fellow congregants with warm meals postsurgery and companionship during their recovery.

My family enjoys cooking and delivered nutritious, hopefully delicious, meals to congregants making friendships along the way. We’ve made this part of our Jewish lives for over 10 years. Recipients of CC mitzvot are touched, relieved, thrilled and thankful. It is comforting to know you can turn to your temple community when in need of a boost to ease through a temporary hardship.

Just a few quick months after taking the reins as lead CC volunteer, the tables turned as my family became the recipients of meals from our gracious team. In the middle of our sons’ high school years I landed in the hospital for 12 days. It was absolutely heart-warming to know my family received dinners nourishing the body and soul, which enabled them to stay strong during my recovery.

Today the Caring Community is a “virtual” committee connecting congregants in need with our volunteers through email and organizational applications. When a calendar for meals or needed rides is distributed, it is simple and easy to chime in when a mitzvah fits your schedule. Volunteer; pay it forward with acts of loving kindness.

Please let temple staff know when our fellow congregants are in need of encouragement. For more information contact, Liz Spiezle, liz@agelight.com.

The Tribe (20s & 30s)

Cr ui s i ng i nto W i nte r

By Rabbi Avi Fine, Assistant Rabbi The Tribe is happily busy these days. After a fall filled with fun, we are hoping to carry that momentum into the cold, dark months of winter. We will gather for Latke making and Drinking and Dreidels in December. As always, join us for 4th Shabbat every month for some soulful tunes and opportunities for community connection. Are you interested in doing something that the Tribe is not currently doing? If you love hiking, painting, reading poetry, or riding unicycles, etc. then I bet other people do, too. Why not organize something for the Tribe? We are always looking for new ideas and new ways to bring community together. Speaking of which, if you are in the Tribe demographic, Rabbi Fine would love to meet and take you out for a cup of coffee. Get in touch afine@tdhs-nw.org.

E xp lori ng J ud a i s m w i th Pre s c h o ole rs

by Shannon Solomon, Early Childhood Education Director

JRM welcomed many new friends and families to our program this fall! We started the year off reviewing our school values: Kavod, Tikkun Olam, Tzedekah, and Shalom. All the classrooms focused on helping the children learn how important it is to be kind to others.

We rang in the New Year with so many wonderful activities! From painting with apples to making mini apple pies, our activities were aimed at learning where each child is with their developmental skills. Continuing with Jewish learning, just before Simchat Torah we began talking each week about the Torah portion and a specific value that is derived for it.

Science and math are part of everyday at JRM, with activities such as measuring ourselves (and even our Morahs) with apples or blocks. Making play dough, bumble bee slime, and exploring nature have been exciting ways to introduce so many new concepts to the children. Our older children even learned about predicting and guessing the number of seeds in apples!

The teachers provide a mix of activities to foster both fine and gross motor skills. Painting, using tweezers, and peeling and placing stickers all help build our skills needed for writing. Indoors and outdoors we have been playing games to help us with movement, balance, and coordination.

B r i d ge Family Relig ion School & Yo u th

M ov i ng Fo r w a rd w i th H e bre w

by Stacey Delcau, RJE, Director of Education For anyone who grew up going to Hebrew school it might surprise you that up until the past few years not much had changed in the approach to learning Hebrew in a religion school setting. New curricula have emerged, new workbooks, new technology pairings…but no real change has been achieved. By introducing a program called Hebrew Through Movement last year we took our first steps towards adapting a new approach to Hebrew called #OnwardHebrew.

In the past, synagogue Hebrew education has focused on decoding (matching sounds to symbols) before our students even know the sounds they are supposed to make.

Take a moment to think about how children learn language. They learn by listening to the sounds of that language and developing a deep well of vocabulary before speaking.

And only after they have their own speaking experience do they THEN begin to read. That is the opposite of how we have taught Hebrew in synagogue programs for decades. #OnwardHebrew is based on the sound-to-print philosophy.

Sound-to-print focuses on building the sound of Hebrew in a child’s head and heart before tackling print.

There are four legs to the sound-toprint process: ​ ) Creating a foundation of Hebrew 1 language for children up through sixth grade through a modern Hebrew/interactive method called Hebrew Through Movement; 2) Learning of Hebrew prayers by participating in regularly scheduled Hebrew t’fillah (worship); 3) Building Jewish life vocabulary, i.e., Hebrew words that may be sprinkled comfortably into English conversation (e.g., shofar, mazal tov); and 4) Waiting to teach Hebrew decoding and reading skills until the sounds of Hebrew are deeply embedded.

Many innovative programs around the country are waiting to decode until 5th and 6th grades due to brain development. This school year we are starting the process by waiting to decode until 4th grade. In 3rd grade we are now focusing on creating the essential foundations to Hebrew and prayer such as “why do Jews pray?” and “does prayer matter?” and “how can prayer help me?”

To build Jewish Life Vocabulary (JLV) every week our program will focus on one letter and important vocabulary associated with that letter.

Here are a few examples of the words – try to build your own JLV when you join us at Temple!

Mazel tov to Justice Bridge!

JACOB COFFLER

We are lucky to have Jacob as a part of our community and cannot wait to see what gifts he brings the Jewish People!

ANDI ALHADEFF

Andi Alhadeff recently starred as Chana in Indecent – a Jewish story about the power of theater, the power of love, and the power of censorship over our stories. Andi fell in love with theater and music as a young student at SAAS, right at Temple’s doorstep.

She went on to earn her BA in Theater at Northwestern, and after some time in New York, moved back to Seattle to continue her career as a theater performer. She is also an accomplished singer-songwriter. Andi can be seen next in Howl’s Moving Castle at BookIt Repertory Theater, running November 27-December 28.

Sacred Journeys a caregiving, mourning and bereavement initiative

Sacred Jo urn eys

Th ere fo r Yo u i n a Ti m e o f Ne e d

By Laurie Warshal Cohen, Sacred Journeys

Sacred Journeys volunteers were proud to hear their work mentioned on Rosh Hashanah by Rabbi Avi Fine in his sermon.

Rabbi Fine spoke of many ways to create community and connection within our Temple family and mentioned the ways in which Sacred Journeys volunteers honored that community.

Over the holiday period, volunteers met to make soup, send out invitations for the Kever Avot cemetery service, attended the Kever Avot service, and helped to box yahrzeit candles that will be received in the coming months by Temple families who will be commemorating the first anniversary of the death of a loved one. One of our new volunteers is now sending written condolences notes to everyone we have tried to call since we often have to leave a message.

The work we do often seems small in comparison to the reactions we receive from the congregants whose lives are touched by a call, soup for dinner, or by coming to the cemetery in honor of a loved one.

We recently received this note from a congregant: Thank you very much for the soup and challah at a time of heartbreak. Sacred Journeys is very kind and gives a sense of caring community when it is needed the most. Thank you for seeking me out and caring.

Time to Live & A Time to Die, November 10, 2019. Sacred Journeys is proud to support this important program for the TDHS family. The program will be of specific interest to adult children and their parents. It will include Jewish death and mourning customs presented by Rabbi Weiner, and specific Temple support by Lisa Horowitz. Information on legal end of life documents will presented by Janet Gray, Seattle attorney. We hope this program will be of interest and support to our Temple family.

As we start a new year, if you feel you have a little time to make a few phone calls or get involved in a few projects, call Jennifer Phillips or email her jphillips@tdhs-nw.org. We will get in touch with you and let you know how easy it is to volunteer.

Are you prepared to handle end-of-life planning for your loved ones?

Death is inevitable, and when the moment comes for a loved one, you won’t want to find yourself caught off guard.

Learn about Jewish ritual, cemetery and mortuary logistics, and legal planning during this special seminar for individuals and families.

Here’s what we have been doing to help save the planet and save our resources: • Composting on both campuses • Using compostable paper goods where possible • Replacing light bulbs with costefficient LEDs • Using low-VOC paints • Reducing paper use by using more electronic communications • Using our new energy-efficient HVAC system in Bellevue • Reducing our use of disposable K-cups, replacing them with paper filter versions • Reducing staff trips between campuses by increasing our use of Skype and phone meetings Thanks for helping us by composting on our campuses.
