RABBI

Adam Miller Connecting with the Joy of Purim The month of Adar on the Jewish calendar is a time for celebration – and after the last few weeks, we need more joy in our lives. The link between happiness and Adar has its roots in Purim. In addition to the comical story of Mordechai, Esther, and Haman (boo!), the holiday is known for encouraging participants to remember that life needs some laughter, at least for one day.

Joy will be in the air throughout the month ahead. The peak will come with the remarkable performance of We Are One on Sunday, March 11th. Combining Broadway selections around the theme of solidarity, the show is guaranteed to boost our spirits and renew our faith that together, we can repair our world. Buy your tickets today and invite friends from across the community as we once again experience the feeling of solidarity.

Sunday, March 4th

Following the Purim Shpiel Join in the fun as we recreate Shushan with 70,000 Lego blocks!

This activity is open to EVERYONE from young to not so young Especially fun for children in grades 3, 4 & 5 Children 5 & under must be accompanied by a parent The Purim shpiel starts at 9:30am LEGO program will follow

Be there or be square!

This March we will also experience new ways to “connect” with Purim. It starts with our “Beauty & the Beast” Purim Shpiel on March 5th. Will Esther be able to help the beastly King Ahasuerus go beyond his selfish ways? Costumes are encouraged, and all attendees will receive prizes.

Immediately following the shpiel, Temple Shalom will welcome back Lego Builder and architect Stephen Schwartz. A few years ago, Stephen brought more than 60,000 Lego blocks for us to build a 20 foot by 20 foot scale model of Jerusalem. This year he returns so that we can build the city of Shushan – the location for the story of Purim. Children and adults will team up to recreate Esther and Mordechai’s home city through this unique and engaging hands-on approach. We will take a virtual “walking tour” and prizes will be awarded for creativity in Lego construction.

This will be my fifth time working with Stephen Schwartz, and each time I marvel at the connection created between participants in his program and their Lego creations. It is one thing to look at a map in two dimensions, it is quite another to walk across a three-dimensional model. Last time we worked together, one student asked, “Is this really the city of Jerusalem?” When Stephen answered affirmatively, the student then said, “So, if I go to Jerusalem, it will look just like this, only bigger? I can’t wait!”

The joy of Purim continues on March 9th, when the Temple Shalom Preschool will host a community-wide Purim Carnival. Open to all children in the community, this special event will give all preschool age children a chance to experience the happiness of Adar.

May the joy of this month not only lift our spirits, but also inspire us to perform acts that will bring happiness for those around us.

L’shalom, Rabbi Miller

PRESCHOOL DIRECTOR

Seyla Cohen February started off with a beautiful Super Shabbat in our garden celebrating Tu B’shevat. Ms. Jane, Rabbi Miller and Cantor Azu led us in traditional songs, bringing in Shabbat and our amazing TSP students sang songs commemorating Tu B’shevat for their parents. Parents and friends were able to see all of the new garden plants that were planted by the Cubs, Lions and Pre-K students. Our vegetables are growing very quickly and we are looking forward to our yummy ‘Shabbat Soup’ in March. Special thanks to the West Family for their generous donation and help with our garden.

We had an amazing Mitzvah Day on February 11th. Our TSP families were very excited and involved, raising money for Meals of Hope, donating to the collection of items for Toiletries for Homeless Children, the Purple Bag Project, Humane Society and more. They came on Mitzvah Day and helped pack bags of toiletries for the homeless children, supplies for children that are going through chemotherapy, and baked dog biscuits for the Humane Society. We are so proud of their involvement and setting the ground work for showing their children the act of mitzvot.

On Friday, March 9th, TSP will host a Free Community Wide Purim Carnival sponsored by a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Naples. The event will showcase Temple Shalom Preschool and celebrate Purim. We will have music, a bounce house, inflatable obstacle course, a petting zoo, stilt walker, Haman’s Dunk Tank, arts and crafts, a special Purim puppet show, and of course, Hamentaschen!

The event is from 10am- 12pm, and everyone should dress up in their favorite Purim costumes!

We have held our Pre-K and Lion’s Orientations presenting our superb curriculum. Our TSP families have all completed their exclusive registration period and now registration is open to the public. Due to an overwhelming interest in our outstanding school, we are nearing our capacity and only a few spots are left. Next year will be better than ever and we look forward to a great new school year.

It is that time of the year, Teacher Appreciation Week, when we come together to celebrate all the wonderful teachers that may have touched us in some special way. I am thankful for the amazing staff who works in our preschool. Our staff is highly qualified, but more importantly they come every day with endless energy and enthusiasm for the important job that they do.

Without question, Temple Shalom has the most outstanding, educated and dedicated staff of any preschool in Collier County. It is through their efforts that we are able to offer so many excellent programs and the TSP Experience to the children. Hooray to our teachers!

DIRECTOR of CONGREGTIONAL EDUCATION Dr.AnnaSalomon, RJE “Six million of our people live on in our hearts. We are their eyes that remember. We are their voice that cries out…” - Shimon Peres Yom HaShoah is a day of remembrance. Remembering the six million Jewish men, woman and children that perished during the Holocaust is not an easy task, but is one we undertake year after year. Recalling so we do not forget; recalling so we do not let history repeat itself. It is our sacred obligation and privilege to be the keepers of history, to ensure that the stories and memory of the victims and survivors alike lives on.

Temple Shalom sixth grade students have begun doing their part again this year. Working with local survivors, our students are hearing testimony and bearing witness to the history being passed to them. As part of their experience, they will be creating a presentation for the community commemoration to share the stories of a few local survivors.

We invite you to join us in this mitzvah of memory at the community Yom HaShoah commemoration on Sunday, April 8th (10 AM) at Temple Shalom.

The Yom HaShoah Community Commemoration planning committee is Renee’ Bialek (Jewish Federation of Greater Naples), Ida Margolis (GenShoah), Dr. Anna Salomon (Temple Shalom), and Susan Suarez (The Holocaust Museum of Southwest Florida).

Torah Talk

A lay lead discussion of the weekly Torah portion

by Helen Weinfeld

At the January Sisterhood meeting Bobbie Katz asked me to come out to the lobby to meet “someone who knew Garson Dinaburg.”

I met a gentleman who said he was Garson’s nephew, that he and his wife were building a house in Naples and were planning to join the temple when they moved here.

We exchanged a few remarks about Garson and Ethel and the Freschells. I gave him my pamphlet “The Jewish Presence in Naples,” which is available in the lobby. It includes what we have believed to be the original Jewish members who settled in Naples in the 1950s and started the congregation in 1962.

After a short telephone conversation, Howard Glicken and I started an e-mail correspondence.

This is what I learned:

1. Howard Glicken, his parents, and his sister, Ellen, lived in Naples from 1958 to 1962.

2. His mother, Esther, was Ethel Dinaburgs sister.

3. His father, Irving, was Garson Dinaburgs “lifelong partner in business.”

4. Their company was called Naples Supply Company/ Fuller Industries.

5. Howard was graduated from Naples High School in 1961.

6. He left Naples in 1962 to attend the University of Florida.

7. His father, Irving, was part of the group in 1962, when as Howard wrote, “Garson started the Jewish Community Center.”

8. Howard’s family moved to Ft. Meyers in 1962. His father ran Fuller Industries there. According to Howard, his father continued to donate to “Garson’s group.”

After all this time, by a twist of fate, we now know there were five (5) founding families – the Dinaburgs, the Glickens, the Freschels, the Gilmans, and the Luffs.It will be interesting to have a temple member who can tell us what it was like to live in Naples in the 1950s and the early 60s.

Join us on Sunday, March 25th at 9:30am as experts from the Golisano Children’s Hospital come to talk about the challenges of addressing mental health and its importance today.

Mental health, particularly the mental health of children, is a critical issue both nationally and locally.

It is estimated that in Southwest Florida alone, there are 46,000 children living with these invisible illnesses and in need of support services. The Golisano Children’s Hospital recently identified mental health as one of its top priorities, seeking to assist children and families with mental health and behavioral disorders by enabling them to receive proper diagnosis, necessary treatment, and the resources needed to live successful and productive lives.

Learning How to Disagree…

Without Being Disagreeable

Experience the Glorious Musicals of MGM Presented by the Naples Orchestra and Chorus!

Over the past year, the Tikkun Olam Council (TOC) held three forums dealing with important issues such as health care, the environment, and most recently, civility. Each forum began with Rabbi Miller reviewing how our Jewish texts deal with these very same issues, sometimes even thousands of years ago.

STEPHEN PARKER, CHORAL DIRECTOR MAX RABINOVITSJ, CONDUCTOR

Last month we learned about Jewish values and civility. Our speakers were Eric Ross, Associate Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League, and Jane Schiff, Board Chair of Jewish Federation of Greater Naples. Jane was involved in developing a civility training program at the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA).

What we learned about speaking to each other in a civil manner was eye opening. First, Rabbi Miller discussed a dispute between Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel from the Babylon Talmud occuring about 2000 years ago. While both views are the “words of the living God” the Jewish law (halacha) was in agreement with Beit Hillel. The reason? Beit Hillel showed “respect for the other.”

THE MARVELOUS MUSICALS OF MGM Saturday, March 17, 2018 7:00 PM Sunday, March 18, 2018 3:30 PM

Jane Schiff shared some of the lessons she learned from the civility training program she participated in. The key is to talk to each other and listen to what you are hearing.

You also need to give feedback on what you heard. People want to know you actually heard what they said. In so many discussions we are driven by emotion rather than by intellect.

The most important takeaways…

1.

Pursue civility 2.

Start the discussion on something you can

agree with 3.

LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN 4.

Give feedback, “This is what I heard you say...”

5.

Don’t think you can change a person’s viewpoint.

International Award Winning Soprano Camille Ortiz will join Naples Orchestra and Chorus performing audience favorites: Kiss Me Kate, Embraceable You, Brigadoon, Johnny One Note, The Music of MGM, An American in Paris, Gigi, Naughty Marietta, The Desert Song, They Can’t Take That Away, The Wizard of Oz and more...

We Are One: A Musical Celebration March 11th at 7pm

By Carole J Greene

If you are one of those people who puts things off until the last minute, your time is nearly up. Temple Shalom’s 2018 fundraiser, We Are One: A Musical Celebration, will take place on Sunday, March 11th with an inspirational concert created especially for Temple Shalom. A salon dinner the preceding night, for those purchasing tickets at $300 and up, will feature New York stage performers singing their signature songs and Broadway favorites in an elegant, intimate setting.

When you consider that Jamibeth Margolis, daughter of Temple Shalom members Ida and Jeff Margolis, is the event’s director, you know the result will be scintillating entertainment. When you realize that we will honor an outstanding community leader and senior board member of the Guadalupe Center, Phil Beuth, with our inaugural Temple Shalom Award for Social Justice, you understand the significance of your presence. Finally, when you comprehend that this is our congregation’s major fundraiser for the year, you will want to dig out your checkbook or credit card to demonstrate your solidarity with your synagogue. We want a full house!

Mitzvah

20

Day 2018 Mitzvah Day at Temple Shalom was a rousing success AND lots of fun. Together we packaged 50,000 meals for Meals of Hope, collected and packed school supplies and personal items for students in need in Collier County, baked dog biscuits for the animal shelter, particpated in the Purple Bag Project, sorted donated clothing for those in need, wrote lots of thank you cards to our Collier County first responders and worked together to bead necklaces for the children at the Guadalupe Center to give as gifts. We can’t forget all those who came to donate blood. 60 registered donors, 43 pints of blood collected and 129 lives saved!

Thank you to the Men’s Club for the Mitzvah Day breakfast and to George Rubin for capturing the Mitzvah Day activities for video. You can view the Mitzvah Day video on the Temple’s website.

A. Stephen Kotler, Esq., Endowment Committee Member

Endowment Corner

Charitable Deduction is Alive You may have heard that the new tax act has changed the tax deduction landscape. Yes, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) went into effect bringing with it a slate of changes to the tax code, including an increase to the standard deduction, limitations to some deductions, as well as the elimination of personal exemptions. However, the TCJA enhanced the deduction for charitable contributions by raising the limit that can be contributed in any one calendar year.

Due to the higher standard deduction, fewer filers are expected to itemize their deductions in the future. Though currently, only 28 percent itemize according to the UrbanBrookings Tax Policy Center. However, filers who plan their charitable gifts may be able to get themselves over the new standard deduction and itemize — if they use a strategy called “bunching.”

With bunching you would give the same amount of dollars that you would over a two-year period, but you bunch them into one year. Bunching in one year will help you itemize deductions where you couldn’t otherwise.

Here’s what you should know about bunching your charitable gifts.

The charitable giving deduction remains for taxpayers who itemize. Under the new law, this break is limited to 60 percent of adjusted gross income for cash gifts, but you can carry forward up to five years any amount that exceeds that.

Single donors whose itemized deductions fall short of the

You will become a member of our Legacy Society with your signed letter of intent to make a gift in the future.

With a completed endowment gift of $10,000 or more you will become a member of our Eternal Light Society.

$12,000 standard deduction threshold ($24,000 if married) can itemize on their taxes if they supercharge their giving in one year.

Consider that a married couple is claiming the maximum property tax deduction of $10,000. This couple also paid $10,000 in mortgage interest in a year. They will still need at least $4,001 of charitable gifts in order to hit — and surpass — the $24,000 standard deduction threshold.

If this couple normally gives $4,000 to charity annually, they can accelerate the gift by cramming in two years of donations into one tax year. This way, they itemize on their taxes one year and take the standard deduction the next.

Of course, people don’t give to charity just to get a tax deduction, but the deduction doesn’t hurt either. This year, if you want to boost your tax savings beyond the new standard deduction, consider giving away some of your wealth.

Mitzvah Baskets Fund: Bimah food baskets for Shabbat. A $100 donation purchases several hundred dollars of food for JFCS.
