Adam Miller The summer zoomed by! I am excited to return from my sabbatical and share some of the experiences from the past three months. As one of my instructors noted, “Picasso claimed that good artists copy and great artists steal. Today we know that the best leaders steal from other industries and areas of experience.” Having taken a leadership course at Disney, attended a mindfulness retreat, and participated in two continuing education classes at Harvard (on design thinking and strategic leadership), I gleaned many insights to share with our community.
September 16th 7:30pm A time to pause and reflect Join us for a thought provoking film about Julius Rosenwald who, inspired by the Jewish ideals of tzedakah and tikkun olam and a deep copncer over racial inequality, used his wealth to become one of America’s most effective philanthropists.
One lesson fits the theme of the approaching New Year and Rosh Hashanah. I learned that there is a distinction that makes every German company different. Daimler, Bayer, Siemens, SAP and others all have a position known as the Direktor Grundsatzfragen – the Director of Important Questions. This person’s role is to reflect upon the state of the company, and think about what the next questions will be. The Direktor Grundsatzfragen considers whether one can look at things differently, as well as whether the right questions are being asked. Asking the right question is a concept deeply rooted in German thinking beyond the corporate structure. Albert Einstein said, ““If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.” Questioning is also not expressly German in nature. Ray Croc asked how one could have a good hamburger while on the road. Watson & Crick wondered what DNA would look like as a three dimensional structure. Out of these questions McDonald’s and the double-helix of DNA were created. The search for important questions offers invaluable advice for each of us as we enter the New Year of 5778. We should devote a portion our thought process to asking how might we think about the situations in our lives differently? Are we seeking the best solutions possible? Are we asking the right questions of ourselves and others? Exploring deeper, we may discover new perspectives that enable us to overcome challenges that we previously felt were too difficult. Asking new questions may help us find the empathy and compassion to forgive a friend or loved one for a transgression from the past. We may also gain from this approach the understanding needed to forgive ourselves, recognizing that we may have been asking the wrong question all along. May the New Year of 5778 be one of new questions, better insights, and many blessings. L’shana Tova U’Mtukah, Rabbi Adam F. Miller

Preparing for the High Holy Days As summer comes to an end and the work day or your regular routine sets in, it’s hard to think ahead that the High Holy Days are just around the corner. The High Holy Days are, for many, the essence of when Jews are most in touch with their Judaism. For the majority of the Jewish world, these are the days when Jews flock to the synagogue to fulfill the mitzvah of welcoming the New Year, asking forgiveness, and praying that we should each be inscribed in the Book of Life for the coming year. However, we are taught that we cannot simply “show up” for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and expect to be prepared for a truly holy experience. The High Holy Day Season officially begins with the Hebrew month of Elul, the month prior to Rosh Hashanah, during which we are supposed to prepare ourselves emotionally and mentally for this holy and sacred time. For me, this begins as I start preparing the music for the High Holy Days The month of Elul concludes the Saturday night prior to Rosh Hashanah, when we gather together for the evening of Selichot, or prayers of forgiveness. Typically, we begin to hear the High Holy Day melodies, change the Torah scrolls to their white covers, and prepare ourselves even further for the High Holy Day experience. We may choose to partake in music or story or study which prepare us for the upcoming sacred experience. At Temple Shalom, we observe Selichot by

watching a movie on a theme that takes us into the holidays followed by a brief, yet beautiful service. We culminate the evening with a blast of the Shofar, to awaken our souls. Rosh Hashanah is not only a time to come together in celebration of the New Year, but also a time to bring family and friends together. The round challot we eat throughout the High Holy Day Season remind us of the cycle of life, and the importance of the cycle of the year as well. During the celebration of Rosh Hashanah, we take a few moments to attend a Tashlich service, where we literally cast away our sins into a body of water, accompanied by song and prayer. Yom Kippur, our Day of Atonement, is a solemn day of fasting and inward reflection. It is also an opportunity to ask for teshuvah (repentance) both with others and between ourselves and our God. On this holiest of holy days, it is most important that we take the time to reflect, to truly analyze, and to plan for the future, making certain that the mistakes we have made this past year are mistakes we will not make again. I look forward to welcoming in the New Year with you! B’Shalom, Cantor Donna M. Azu

Debbie Zvibleman As we approach the High Holy Days, we have several options for prospective members to join us. Do you know someone who is moving here or has lived here, but is unaffiliated? Let them know that we have replaced dues with pledges, allowing congregants to give from the heart. Have them come to our open house for prospective members on September 8th to find out all that we have to offer. Bring them to any service and introduce them to our Board members and our greeters. In addition, if you see someone who is a new member go up to them and introduce yourself. We have had several new members join in the last month and we want to make sure that they feel welcome. As you come for the High Holy Days you will notice the Harry Chapin Food Bank basket in the lobby. A contribution of $18 permits the food bank to buy nearly $108 worth of food. As a result, last year we raised over $10,000 because of your generous donations. Envelopes will be passed out at Rosh Hashanah for you to bring back on Yom Kippur. The food bank needs our donations to feed many families throughout Collier County I hope that you will once again assist those in need. I hope to see everyone during our High Holy Days services. On behalf of our Board of Trustees, I want to wish everyone a year of health, happiness and peace. L’Shanah tovah, Debbie Zvibleman
“Shalom Chaverim” means hello friends in Hebrew. Shalom Chaverim is also the name of a new and exciting volunteer opportunity at Temple Shalom where Temple volunteers welcome members and guests who come for worship, learning and social opportunities. Temple Shalom is focused on inclusivity, diversity, openness and welcoming. Shalom Chaverim is a cadre of greeters welcoming and assisting members and guests to our Temple for Erev Shabbat services, helping them with their name tags or badges, providing directions, assist with seating, prayer books, or hearing assisted devices.

Temple’s 2018 Fundraiser Taking Shape

By Carole J.

This will serve as the temple’s primary fundraising special event for 2018, with opportunities to reach the wider community, in addition to our own congregants.
Co-chair Ida Margolis said: “This program has been created exclusively for our Temple, to build on the inspiration initiated last December at our Shabbat of Solidarity.” Florida Weekly called that event, which filled our sanctuary to overflowing with Temple Shalom supporters of many faiths, “the best show of unity” in our community last season. Watch The Voice each month for information about We Are One plus other “continuing the spirit of solidarity” events throughout the year.

B’NAI MITZVAH CORNER DIRECTOR of CONGREGATIONAL EDUCATION
Dr.AnnaSalomon, RJE “Lift up the heads of the whole Israelite community.” (Bamidbar 1:2) This verse from the book of Numbers begins the story of the census. Read in May or early June, it is an instruction to count each Jew. In reading the verse we think about numbers, about the quantitative aspects of the census; the counting of the Jewish population. But what if we went beyond the numbers? Instead of focusing on the numerical counting of a person, a numbering of the community – what else could it mean to count? While it may appear a simple command to count the number of people in the community, it can actually mean so much more. Instead of counting, we can account for each person, making them matter, and lift them up in that way. It is easy to get stuck on the quantitative – the numerical counting. When we count each and every person in our community, we don’t have to stick to just the numbers. We can learn the names and stories of each person in our community. Look at what each person brings to our community, helping make it whole and holy. This type of qualitative census helps us appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of our community. To count our community from a different perspective, to lift each other up through relationships and meaning, helps honor our commitment to One Family. Everyone has a name and a story. They’re not a number in our community, they’re a person. Do you know the people in our community? The names and stories – not the numbers. Our Religious School students and families have some incredible stories. So do our Adult Education & Melton students. The people that work behind the scenes to make Temple Shalom successful do too. That’s not even half of the amazing stories waiting to be told. As we head towards another Rosh Hashanah, it’s a great opportunity to start learning those stories – to lift up and honor the people of our community by getting to know them better. I look forward to hearing many more of the stories and the people in our community. May our new year be one of health, happiness, and lots of blessings for us all.

PRESCHOOL DIRECTOR
Seyla Cohen Each year when Temple Shalom Preschool opens its doors to begin a new school year, the hallways fill with happy smiles, enthusiastic spirits, and eager children. This year was no exception. Now, after several weeks, both families and students have settled into a comfortable routine, and are feeling secure and filled with confidence as its preschoolers build the foundation for future education. Here at Temple Shalom Preschool our staff is so excited to start another year of growth, dedication, and challenges. We watch the faces of both old and new students as they enter the building with looks of wonder and eagerness. Their growth, both physically and emotionally never seizes to amaze us. Starting with the new school year we have some new procedures in place at TSP. We are proud to introduce our new Educational Wing entrance. From now on, the Preschool children and families as well as Religious school children and families will be entering and exiting the building through these doors. In addition, the Preschool offices and the security officer relocated to the new school entrance. This transformation will enhance and increase the existing security and safety of our children. Once again, our much loved Miss Jane is teaching the school’s unique Mommy, Me, and More classes. New parents are provided with a support group and are given the opportunity to meet other caregivers and make new friends. Friendships can make an enormous difference in the journey through parenthood, often alleviating the feeling of loneliness and helping new parents bond and share experiences. At the same time, children 0-24 months are provided with a strong foundation for learning through interactive play, music, art and exercise. Little ones begin to develop important skills such as socialization, self-control and physical and cognitive development, so important for the preparation for their school experience. For further information regarding Temple Shalom Preschool, please contact Director Seyla Cohen at 239-455-3227. The demand for our outstanding preschool is sensational! Due to the phenomenal growth, we are opening a fourth PreK class this year. Come, visit, volunteer and be a part of this amazing place we call home away from home! Wishing everyone a happy and safe school year!

Temple Shalom Sisterhood Invites You to Join in a SISTERHOOD PRESIDENT
Carole Flegel The Year of the Sisterhood I’m continuously inspired by women, such as when massive crowds marched in the Women’s March across the globe including Naples for transformative social change. I draw hope from the efforts of women such as Senators Collins and Murkowski, who work across the aisle to protect women’s health care. And I’m uplifted by the incredible effort of the women of Sisterhood who donate tremendous time and effort to continuously support our Temple and its Religious School. Leading Sisterhood’s accomplished women is Sandy Stone, whom I’m honored to present in this month’s Sisterhood Member Spotlight. Please join the amazing women of Temple Shalom’s Sisterhood. We offer rewarding events, fundraisers, Book Bag and volunteer opportunities from Oneg Shabbats to the Judaica Shop. Our first event is a tour and luncheon at the Holocaust Museum on September 11th at 10:00am. Book Bag kicks off on October 19th at 1:30pm with The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. Make this the Year of the Sisterhood!
Sisterhood Member Spotlight In 1987, Sandy moved from the Boston area to Naples. Leaving her large extended family behind and recently widowed from her first husband, she immediately embraced the Temple Shalom community. Sandy first stepped up to volunteer in the Sandy Stone kitchen where she was instrumental in the Sisterhood’s Food Fair for 17 years. Sandy also joined the choir, with her talent for singing and reading music. Upon realizing that the Sisterhood lacked a program for children during Chanukah, she created a Chanukah event, which led her to becoming Sisterhood President. Over the years, Sandy has served multiple terms as Sisterhood President and held many other Board positions. Sandy served as Temple Shalom’s President from 1994-1996. She and her second husband chaired “Shalom 2000” with Sandy serving as Design Chair of the current building. Sandy is the Oneg Chair. She and her committee provide exceptional Onegs every Friday night. Sandy’s coffee cakes are legendary! Sandy’s family now includes four generations in Naples, including great-grandkids in the Temple Shalom pre-school.

Above & Beyond Kicks Off This past year’s Above & Beyond campaign was a rousing success thanks to our chairs, Dan and Judi Spintman and their marvelous committee and you, our One Family! We once again exceeded our goals. To succeed again this year it will take serious effort and everyone’s participation. Thank you to all of our donors who gave generously this year. We hope you will continue to make this campaign one of your priorities in your tzedakah allocations. This year we have implemented the pledge system to make our community easier to join. With this new structure we aren’t guaranteed a definitive amount of dues as in previous years. This makes budgeting, and this campaign, very important. We have seen an increase in members and we hope that everyone will feel the overwhelming open-arms approach that our Temple is pursuing. Some important notes about our Above & Beyond program:
Torah Talk A lay lead discussion
8:15 - 8:30am - bagels, coffee, juice 8:30 - 9:45am - discussion
September 2nd Ki Tetze Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19
All are welcome! We meet in the conference room Shabbat service at 10am 12
•
Annual pledges alone do not meet the Temple’s needs for ongoing expenses and new programming. There are members who, because of special financial issues, are unable to pay the sustaining amount. No one is turned away from Temple Shalom regardless of background or financial circumstances. Your extra donations over and above your annual pledge allows us to make up this shortfall.
•
Expenses include clergy and other staff salaries, maintenance of the building, and communications such as The Voice, advertising and printing and mailing expenses.
•
Your contributions allow us to maintain our ability to bring you all of the services that you have come to expect: meaningful services, a clergy staff in time of need, a religious education that includes b’nai mitzvah, confirmation and adult education, speakers from around the world to enhance our understanding of various aspects of Judaism and Israel, and a place where we can meet our friends who share a common heritage.
For those of us who are able, we give because it gives us joy, because we care, because it is the right thing to do, because it is the way we can share our Judaism, educate our children and continue our traditions. Our 2017-2018 Above and Beyond campaign began at the end of July. You should have received a mailing with all of the details on levels of giving. No amount is too small and your support is appreciated. Please consider a contribution to an important part of Temple Shalom. Our goal this year is $230,000.

Jewish Values and Our Environment Environmental Forum at Temple Shalom November 2, 2017 12:00 to 1:30PM Our Temple Shalom Tikkun Olam Council (TOC) is planning two forums this year. The first will focus on an environmental issue facing Southwest Florida - water. It is truly the lifeblood of Southwest Florida and how we protect this precious commodity will impact each of us. The forum will provide everyone with two goals; education regarding one or two water issues in Southwest Florida and specific ways to get involved and make our voices heard. We are working with three organizations who have agreed to help us with both of these goals: The Conservancy of Southwest Florida – As stated in their website, “We have concerns about our water. Will it be clean? Will we have enough? Over one million acres of rural lands are proposed for development. Will it be done in a way that protects lands vital to our survival and to the 60 listed, endangered and threatened species in Florida?” A staff expert from the Conservancy on water issues will serve on our panel. www.conservancy.org The Sierra Club -- This national organization has a clear mission statement…”To explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the earth; To practice and promote the responsible use of the earth’s ecosystems and resources; To educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment; and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives.” Visit www.sierraclub.org/florida for more information about the Florida Chapter of the Sierra Club. Finally, the third organization is Audubon of the Western Everglades. Their mission is “…to promote an understanding of and interest in wildlife and the environment that supports it, and to further the cause of conservation of all of our natural resources.” Check out their website at www..collieraudubon.info. Given the dramatic growth of our population the concern for our natural resources is critical. Please join us on November 2nd and more importantly, get involved in understanding these environmental concerns. We need to protect our water, wildlife and environment for today and future generations. For more information about the TOC please contact Ken Goldstein at kengoldstein@mac.com.

When available, what is the cost of a ticket to High Holy Day services? $100 is the cost for one ticket to all High Holy Day services. Can I apply the amount I pay for tickets towards a membership at Temple Shalom? Yes, we encourage you to do just that! The credit will be applied to membership if you join Temple Shalom by November 30, 2017. In fact, rather than purchase tickets, we encourage you to make a L’Shalom pledge to Temple Shalom, which may be fulfilled throughout the year, and join Temple Shalom’s family! Your tickets are then included with your pledge. If I know of someone who cannot afford the High Holy Day tickets, can they still attend? Yes, provided they contact the Executive Director, Eli Montague, in advance of the High Holy Days and we have available seating. It will be our pleasure to have them worship with us.
We extend our very best wishes for a New Year of health and peace. L’shana tovah!

A little help. A big difference. The assisted living services at The Carlisle Senior Living Community are about the whole family and the whole YOU. Of course, we can help you with your daily needs. But did you know you will also have options for fitness, socializing, healthy fine dining, and more? And services are tailored to you, so you’ll get just the right amount of help you need, when you request it. But the best part? No matter if you need a little help or a lot, the difference you’ll feel will be amazing.

What is the Temple Shalom Legacy Society? The Legacy Society was created to honor those who have demonstrated the foresight to plan a future gift to Temple Shalom. By signing a non-binding Letter of Intent to make a future gift, you will become a member of our Legacy Society. We are excited to publish the first list of the Charter Members in this issue. An updated list of all Legacy Society members will be published annually. What exactly is a future or planned gift? How does a planned gift work? How can I make a planned gift? Simply put, a planned gift is a gift to Temple Shalom that you plan for now with the gift to be given by you in the future. Planned gifts designating Temple Shalom as a beneficiary of your IRA, trust or will, can help you match your personal financial goals with your desire to make a substantial and lasting difference to ensure that Temple Shalom will continue to thrive. Any gift that can be given now may also be made to take effect in the future, when the assets are no longer needed for current or family expenses. These include cash, securities, real estate, personal property, retirement plan assets and life insurance. Your planned gift may name your own fund (upon receipt of a minimum of $10,000), facility (such as the sanctuary or another sacred place or classroom or even the entire campus) or a gift dedicated to a specific purpose. We are dedicated to helping every donor find the right opportunity for yourself and your family to create a legacy that is meaningful to you. The major benefit of a planned future gift is that it allows you to hold on to your money and other assets for now, to be sure you can meet your family’s future financial needs, while leaving a legacy to benefit the Temple far into the future. A planned gift can set a wonderful example for your children and grandchildren to show how much you care about the future of Temple Shalom and Reform Judaism in Southwest Florida, and want our temple to have a lasting role in your family’s future for generations to come. Your gift can be creatively structured, with the help of our professionals working with your advisors, to provide tax advantages and benefit you and your family for as long as you wish. Planned gifts allow you to provide support at a higher level than you may think possible. A planned gift does not have to be large, but can be of any size. Contact me or the office to get a copy of the non-binding Letter of Intent and answer any questions you may have about planned giving.

Do Not Forget Us We have been invited to join several other FL communities in helping Rabbi Dukhovny’s Jewish community in Ukraine. Many of our students here in Collier need to take advantage of the backpack program to have food for the weekend. Rabbi Dukhovny discovered that many of his young students had little or nothing to eat over the weekend as well. He hired a cook and arranged for the children to come to their school for a hot meal both Saturday and Sunday. Remember, think cold weather and little house heat. If we choose to help, our share would be $300 for a quarter of the year. For $100 a month, we can feed more than 50 children each weekend. Rather than just sending money for use as needed, we can fill a very important need. How could we say no? If you wish to participate, please send a check to Temple Shalom and mark in the memo DNFU. This would truly be a mitzvah. Thank you, Judi Palay and Paul Rosofsky Co-chairs
