Rabbi

Adam F. Miller Letting Love Guide Us In my first position after Rabbinical school, I served as the Assistant Rabbi at Temple Beth El in Northern Westchester.

Located in the New York City suburbs, the congregation was the liturgical center of the Reform movement for more than a quarter of a century. The Senior Rabbi was Rabbi Chaim Stern, primary editor of the Gates of Prayer, Gates of Repentance, and every major prayerbook of the Reform movement from the early 1970s up until the turn of the century. A prolific writer and collector of liturgy, Rabbi Stern often created his own prayerbooks to use in the congregation, beta-testing the materials from his vast library. Although Rabbi Stern departed prior to my arrival, I was fortunate enough to collect one or two of his prayerbooks, each with his personal notes and annotations in the margin.

Late in his career, Rabbi Stern used his collection to compile a book he titled, Day by Day. Within its pages, he provided mediations, prayers, teachings, and insights with chapters based upon each weekly Torah portion, and multiple texts available for each day of those weeks. I marvel at the variety of materials within the book, and Rabbi Stern’s remarkable editing skills. He managed to provide pertinent wisdom that often speaks to moments even across the years. One such piece, that he penned himself, sits with me now, as we near the High Holy Days: One thing I ask of myself, O God: that I might not neglect to show my love. Strangely, I can think of many reasons to live so far inside (or outside) myself that the deep love I feel will stay that way—deep inside. There is my work, and my busyness even when I am not working. And then I may be tired. Or something may have annoyed me. Or I may feel hurt and determined to wait to be told I am loved, before I offer my own words. From all these, O God, deliver me today.

Over the last year and a half, we have seen the widening of gaps within our society, and a fragmentation of community.

Almost weekly, I speak with members of our Temple Family who find themselves struggling over broken relationships with family and friends. Divisions over politics, virus protocols, and a host of other subjects have left them holding grudges and feeling wounded as disagreements escalated. Unable to let go of the pain, they withhold instead expressions of love.

Reflecting on the teaching from Rabbi Stern, let us embrace a more loving mindset in the year ahead. May this be a time for us to not only recall the way in which our actions impacted the lives of others, but to let go of the transgressions that we are holding against those we once carried close in our hearts. Let us enter 5782 with an open mind and an open heart, taking the initiative to thaw the ice – to express our feelings for others – without waiting for them to take the first step. Along the way, we may just discover that our first step was all that was needed to get our relationship back on track.

Wishing you a sweet new year filled with blessing, joy and love,

CLERGY MESSAGE

Cantor

Donna Azu

In the course of our lifetime, we develop a certain relationship with music. To some, music is an existential vehicle without which they could not imagine their lives. There are also those who do not consider music to be a critical component of their well-being at all. But, no matter what role we assign to it, music is everywhere. Think about it, music accompanies us wherever we go. In a car, on TV, in a department store, on a street, in a concert hall, when we wake up and before we go to sleep, we hear music.

However, many of us tend to take music for granted without giving it the appreciation it deserves. We assume that it will always be there for us when we need it. But, let us suppose for a moment that the music that surrounds us has disappeared. How unbearably plain, dull, gray, and boring our lives would become!

Music is the most natural and the most genuine expression of one’s emotions and thoughts. Prior to acquiring language skills, children learn how to sing, hum, and make sounds of different types; these sounds are the ultimate expressions of their world. As a musician, my affection for music is obviously quite natural. However, one does not have to be a professional musician to “understand” it in any particular way, and there is no “right” or “wrong” music.

Our ancient rabbis taught that, like all things in life, if we prepare our hearts and our minds for the High Holy Days, not just on the days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur themselves, but throughout the entire month, even the entire year preceding those days, we will find ourselves coming to services with a sense of connection, desire, and joy. There is no better way to do this than through music.

As you join us for High Holy Days services this year, don’t be afraid to open your heart to the music you hear. Be with it, enjoy it, cry with it, explore it, and it will start speaking to you. Let us not take music for granted. In our Temple sanctuary, in a car, on TV, in a department store, on a street, in a concert hall, it is there for us. Reach out, let music enter your life, and you will make a loyal friend for life.

Wishing you and your family a sweet and happy new year filled with joyous song!

CLERGY MESSAGE

Director of Lifelong Learning Rabbi Ariel Boxman As Rosh Hashanah approaches and we celebrate the Jewish New Year, we are also celebrating some new additions to our preschool! Over the summer we not only added some new enrichment spaces and programs, but our building also received a beautiful renovation!

• Kef Shalom (Tumbling Gym): In order to provide indoor physical and sensory development opportunities for our students, we built a tumbling gym in the Multipurpose Room. This gym is outfitted with padded flooring, a gymnastics bar, a balance beam and tons of plush toys to climb on and play with. While this gym will be used mainly for preschool, it was also be used for Shalom Yeladim (Sunday program for Young Families) and Shabbat ShaPLAY (Shabbat program for Young Families)!

• Makers Space (Art Room): Creative expression is of fundamental importance in our preschool curriculum. In order to aid our students in developing their creative genius, we have designed an enrichment center for them to create, imagine and build with open ended materials. Check out all the exciting supplies we have gathered for our students to utilize!

Kef Shalom

• New Floors: Our preschool hallways received a beautiful upgrade! We finally said goodbye to carpet and replaced our hallway floors with laminate tiles. We are loving the fresh look!

Makers Space

For the first time in Temple Shalom Preschool history, we are offering the state funded VPK (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten) program for four-year-old children. Families are able to send their children to our school and submit their VPK voucher for three free hours of education. This program enables children to attend a quality preschool in order to prepare them for Kindergarten. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to participate as a VPK provider in Florida and look forward to a wonderful year ahead!

We are very pleased with our updates and renovations and are looking forward to a wonderful school year ahead! Our classrooms are full, students are happy and the sounds of learning fills the hallway! I wish you all a Shana Tova and a year full of happiness, peace and joy!

New Floors

We thank the Jewish Federation of Greater Naples for their generous support!

LEADERSHIP MESSAGE

President

Daryl Sissman

L’Shana Tova! For the second year in a row, our High Holiday services will be a little different from years past. One of the best parts of being Temple president is the privilege of standing before you to wish our Temple Family a very happy new year but, I am delighted to be able to offer those greetings both in person and virtually this year.

Change can be disconcerting – especially when it involves our time hallowed traditions and customs. Like many of you, I look forward to seeing, hugging and catching up with the many people who come to Temple at this time of year. But here we are, for the second year in a row – forced to bump elbows instead. The crowd will be smaller, the service will be shorter, and the choir will be limited to our professional singers, but they will be there, raising their voices in song together. It will feel different, for sure. But I for one, will be grateful that we have the opportunity and choice to worship together, in person, masked and socially distanced, in our beautiful Sanctuary this year. Whether you attend in person or watch the livestream at home, you will hear the call of the shofar, great sermons and the Torah readings. We all want it to be as it always was, but alas, we will have to wait a bit longer for that.

This year, we will be holding two sessions per major service. The times for the services are published in this Voice and have also been sent in many emails. The clergy and staff have spent many hours working on a plan so that everyone will be able to worship safely, whether in person or online. In addition to the early and late services, there will also be a livestream for all the services. After careful consideration, the Covid Task Force has made the decision that it is necessary for everyone to wear masks at Temple, regardless of vaccine status. We ask that you not linger after the early services so that the parking lot can be cleared for the second service attendees. We ask that those of you who are planning to attend the second service arrive no more than 20 minutes before your designated services. With your cooperation, traffic will flow much easier and everyone will be safer.

Thank you so much for your continued patience. May the year 5782 bring health and happiness to you and your family.

The Board of Trustees met on Tuesday, August 24, 2021 to vote on recommendations made by the COVID-19 Reopening Task Force regarding safe gatherings during this stage of the pandemic. The following policies that were enacted apply to all groups, classes, meetings and events held across our organization, including committees, auxiliaries and havurahs: • We ask that all in-person attendees at Temple-sponsored events be fully vaccinated (if they are eligible). This includes committees, auxiliaries, and other groups. Proof is not required, as it is prohibited by Florida law.

• Everyone is required to wear a mask indoors.

º Masks are optional outdoors but encouraged if there will be close contact activity.

• Social distance must be maintained from those not in one’s household while indoors at Temple or off-site.

o Every other seat (or more) should be left open in indoor spaces.

• Food and drink may not be consumed at indoor programs, services, classes or meetings that are held at Temple OR offsite.

• Food and drink may consumed outdoors with social distance.

Thank you for your flexibility and cooperation.

THANK YOU, MAXINE!

By Sylvie Heyman Maxine Gould, our trusted Controller, retired last month after 19 years of dedicated service to Temple Shalom. “Bittersweet” is the best way to describe her transition from Florida to Tennessee to live with her daughter Jaclyn, her son-in-law, Neil, and her grandchildren, Eric (7) and Ryan (17), who have lived there since 2011.

When Maxine came to Naples, she worked at a rehab center for two years in the accounting department. She then took a job in the corporate offices of an assisted living and nursing homes corporation where she did accounting work. In 2002, she started her job at Temple Shalom, where she remained for the next 19 years. Maxine has worked longer than anyone else at Temple apart from Ada Rossell!

Maxine and her husband, Colin, who was born in Scotland, were married 28 years before his life was cut short by illness at age 53. A widow since 2003, Maxine stayed in Florida to help her parents. Her father passed away in 2019 at the age of 94 and her mother passed 7 weeks later of a broken heart at 91 years old.

Little did Maxine know how important her affiliation with Temple Shalom would become throughout those difficult years.

Temple Shalom became a source of support and healing for her.

She grew very close to her co-workers and loved every minute of her work and the friendships that she made at Temple Shalom. Throughout her years here, Maxine has seen many changes take place with each new clergy, administration, and Board. Aligned with the philosophy that everyone is welcome at Temple Shalom, Maxine, helped implement the L’Shalom Donations Program where donations for membership are flexible and free of any personal financial disclosure. Maxine was also instrumental in implementing major changes in the accounting and software systems. Her position is being replaced by an outside accounting firm.

With tears in her eyes, Maxine shared her feelings with me: “It makes me emotional to think about leaving HOME. People I work with have been like family and I have developed a deep attachment to them.” Her feelings of connection to Temple Shalom were palpable, “but it’s time to move on” she said in a quivering voice. Maxine is not sure what to expect once she moves to Tennessee. Despite being nervous about what the future will bring, she is flexible and ready for a cultural and life-style change. “I’ll be a Jew from New York City moving into the Bible Belt” she said laughingly.

Executive Director, Deborah Fidel summed it up well: “Maxine is one- of-a-kind. She is the most dedicated and hardworking employee any synagogue’s Executive Director could ask for. She will definitely be missed!”

Maxine’s last day at the Temple was August 6th. Temple Shalom is grateful for Maxine’s many contributions to the smooth running of our organization and wishes her a sweet farewell and much happiness in her new home.

Best of Luck, Maxine and congratulations on a job well done all these years!

I srael C orner Carfarlet Castle

By Andy Karpman

For those who enjoy ‘unofficial’ sites, the small castle of Cafarlet, at Moshav Ha’bonim is a nice place to visit, especially if you combine it with some other sightseeing in the area. The Moshav lies on the coast between Caesarea and Atlit. Its beach is known as one of the country’s best – so a visit here is definitely an opportunity to enjoy a swim – have a nice oceanside picnic or simply take a leisurely walk, which is part of a nature reserve. The more adventurous among you can even go skydiving (there is a skydiving school right on the beach).

Cafarlet is located three kilometers from the ocean and eight kilometers from Atlit (site of Chateau Pelerin, the only Templar fortification that was never captured by the enemy).

It is also three kilometers from Merle (at Dor), another Crusader stronghold.

This is a small square castle, which is by no means spectacular, but Crusader devotees are bound to enjoy it. There is however something quaint about the site – which is not part of national park system. It sits atop a small hill at Moshav Ha’bonim.

What is unique about the castle is that unlike other square castles, Cafarlet features rounded guard towers – the remains of which are still clearly visible. Though small, they are more reminiscent of the rounded guard towers that can be found in Europe than of the typical square towers that can be found in square castles elsewhere in Israel.

CELEBRATE WITH US

B’nai Mitzvah Zachary Sissman September 4

Addison & Hanna Corbellini September 25

Zachary Sissman will be called to the bima on September 4 for his Bar Mitzvah. He is a seventh-grader at Community School and enjoys all sports, but especially baseball. He has been a camper for several years at URJ Six Points Sports Academy. His favorite subjects in school are math and history. He is looking forward to celebrating with family and friends.

And any day now, he will surpass his mother in height.

Both Addison and Hanna started Gulf Coast High School this year and are in honors classes. They were junior counselors over the summer. They both love to spend time with their brothers, Hunter and Zachary, and they both really love to shop. The girls together are the best of friends. Hanna is only 38 seconds older than Addison, which has always been a big joke.

MEN’S CLUB

As we begin the Hebrew calendar year 5782, I want to wish everyone “l’shana tovah tikateivu v’teichateimu” on behalf of the Board of the Temple Shalom Men’s Club and our families.

This past year has been filled with many challenges, some of which have not completely gone away. Accordingly, your Men’s Club is carefully watching the situation and the emerging data as we plan our events and activities for this coming year. All of these activities will clearly follow the Temple’s policies and the CDC and other public health guidelines. On October 13, we have arranged for a special tour of the REVs Institute. Please see the ad below for more details. Also, don’t forget our annual dinner theater fundraiser which is presently scheduled for April 10, 2022 at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theater for an afternoon performance of “In The Heights.”

Men’s Club President Ron Yasbin

Once again, wishing you all a healthy and safe New Year!

We ask that all in-person attendees at Temple-sponsored events be fully vaccinated (if they are eligible). Everyone is required to wear a mask indoors. KN95 masks are suggested but not required. Social distance will be maintained.

TIKKUN OLAM

Tikkun Olam Council Chair Don Belmont

A Better World Starts with YOU! When most people think about tikkun olam (repairing the world), they think about giving/helping/ reaching out to someone else. As we enter the High Holy Days this year, I hope everyone will spend some time thinking about themselves as well.

What would the world be like if everyone was like you?

Would things be better or worse than they are now? Would people treat each other more fairly and respectfully? Take a few minutes and think about yourself. Are you living your life and treating others in a kindly, forgiving manner? Do you respect yourself? Do you show empathy? When you interact with family, friends, coworkers, and strangers on the street, be a mensch. Remember, a better world starts with you!

“Try not to become a man of success. Try rather to become a man of value.”

- Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
