STRIVE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
In our Strive to Make a Difference feature we will highlight member involvement in causes near and dear to their hearts. If you have a connection to a charity and would like to share it with us, please email Hub@tebh.org.
Perhaps there is no elegant way to e xplain why Barry and I got involved with, and have remainedardent supporters of Concern Foundation for Cancer Research. Simply Put, Cancer Sucks. J oe Biden oncesaid, “This is personal for me.” Well, it is personal for us too! Barry and I have seen Cancer wreak havoc on too many family members and dear friends, which is why we got involved with Concern Foundation over 35years ago.
major research project, specifically targeting and seeding talented young scientists, Concern Foundation helps bridge the gap that exists in the worldwide cancer research community. We are sure everyone personally, perhaps intimately, knows of at least one person if not many, many more who have been struck by cancer. Sadly, cancer affects everyone… women, men, and children. No socioeconomic group, nor religious or political affiliation is exempt from this malicious disease. Cancer simply does not care. It is in loving memory of t oo many family members, o ur dear friend Beth and many other friends who have fought courageously that Barry and I say to Cancer "We will hunt you down and one day we will find a cure!" Please join us as we strive to make a difference and get involved! ConcernFoundation.org/Get-Involved
Concern Foundation is an independent,volunteer driven, non-profit organization founded in 1968.Their mission is clear—to make sure 90–95% of every net dollar raised is awarded to cancer research—so that one-day we can find a cure for this devastating disease. or almost 50 years, Concern Foundation has raised more F than $60 million dollars and funded more than 750 cancer research scientists. Concern’s grants focus on brilliant young cancer researchers who are seeking funding for their first

Adam Lutz—Our New Rabbi Educator As a child my favorite pastime was LEGOs. What excited me about LEGOs was not only that I loved building something out of nothing, but also that I got to create and play within an entire universe of my own invention. I could push the limits of my imagination and explore different worlds, albeit from the safety of my living room. Continuing my ABCs from the last two Temple Topics, just as I believe in the necessity of authenticity and the importance of betterment, I believe in creativity. It gets us outside of the world we know, venturing out into the unknown corners of imagination and possibility. Today, our world is moving faster than ever. New discoveries about our universe, biology, and technology pop up every day, challenging our ideas about who we are as human beings. Judaism must engage with these relevant issues, helping ignite the creative spark within us all. Creativity, as it did for my younger self, allows for safe and playful exploration. Our rabbis exercised their creative genes when they adapted archaic Temple Judaism into the Rabbinic Judaism that we all experience today. In the same way, our religious school students exercise their creative genes when they explore the ways in which Judaism is meaningful in the twenty-first century. Judaism has a rich history of creativity, guaranteeing its existence for the next generation. So then—to round out my ABCs—creativity energizes me each day to playfully explore what meaningful modern Judaism feels like so that I can constantly work on the betterment of myself, in order to one day can become my best authentic self. I am so looking forward to continuing this conversation with those of you whom I've met, and starting it with those whom I have yet to meet. Please share your ABCs with me, so that we can continue to build this creative community which lives Judaism daily to bring our world closer to shalom—to peace.

Community Engagement On Rosh Hashanah, we challenged the congregation to make a mountain of diapers to rival Mount Sinai for resettling refugee families here in Southern California. In late October, a caravan of six SUVs, minivans, and cars, filled with more than 50,000 diapers that you brought arrived at the storage warehouse of our partners at the refugee service organization Tiyya. As each car pulled up, the staff members of Tiyya could not hold back their surprise. "This was the largest single donation of diapers we have ever received," one staffer said, as our congregants unpacked the diapers. Over 300 families that Tiyya serves will be helped by this donation. Diapers, while essential to families with babies and toddlers, are not covered in the resources provided to resettling refugee families. This amazing contribution from our community has led Tiyya to highlight the work of Temple Emanuel with a keynote speech at their upcoming gala on December 2nd in Orange County. In the coming months, our partnership with Tiyya will extend well beyond the diaper drive as we help them launch their efforts not just in Orange County but in Los Angeles proper. If you are interested in getting more involved, contact Pete Siegel, volunteer leader of our community engagement group, Na'aseh V'nishmah, at PeterMSiegel@gmail.com. Temple Topics
