A Taste of Torah The First and Only Jew of the Bible

The contrast between the universal identity and the Jewish identity can be also seen by the behavior of Esther, the This month we are Jewish Queen of that entire kingdom. going to celebrate one of Esther, who is Mordecai’s niece, lives in the joyous holidays of our the royal palace and is silent about her tradition – Purim.

In this book, a for me” (4:15–16). She is asking the new identity is formed – Jews. congregation to support her in an act Let’s review this change in further of solidarity, and thus links herself in a detail. The fact that Mordecai was a Jew is conscious way with her Jewish identity, clearly stated – “… In Shushan Lived a Jew which was concealed until now. by the name of Mordecai …” (Esther 2:5).

The Temple Mission Statement The mission of The Temple is to: • be a center for Reform Judaism in Louisville, Kentucky • provide spiritual guidance and strength through the practice of Judaism • emphasize the ideals and objectives of Reform Judaism through worship, education, congregational programming, social justice, and our community relationships • promote the perpetuation of our Jewish heritage.

President’s Message “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” These words are traditionally attributed to King Solomon and may be found in Ecclesiastes. (And, if you are of a certain age, you may also find yourself singing, Turn, Turn, Turn from the 1960s song by the Byrds.) We will take a “turn” to say thank you; in our congregation, we have much to be grateful for. We are thankful for the wonderful music that we share during Shabbat services and Religious School programs. Thank you to Louis Bailey, Rabbi Rooks, Shir Chadash, Jennifer Diamond, Alan Zukof, and Ellen Shaikun for playing and singing and bringing the richness of music to our services. “A time to heal … and a time to sew.” Thank you to our rabbis who visit patients in hospitals, nursing facilities and at home. Thank you to Susan Waterman and the Caring Committee friends for sharing time with residents in long term care facilities and for delivering cards and plants from our Religious School and ECEC students. Thank you to Marlene Schaffer and her talented team of crocheters, knitters, and seamstresses who make blankets and “Mi Shebeirach” shawls lovingly created with care. These blankets and the special meals produced by Margie Kommor and the caring chefs who recently prepared the food packages are delivered by the rabbis. “A time to love and a time to feed” (okay, that is a paraphrase). Thank you to Kim Norton and the Women of Reform Judaism for baking and arranging the Oneg Shabbat for every Friday evening service. “A time to break down, and a time to build up,” A super huge thank you to Ted, Matthew, and Michael for setting up (and breaking down) the daily setups for every group using The Temple and the Klein Center. They are always involved with placing chairs and tables or removing chairs and tables, and we thank them. As well, we thank our Temple office volunteer and staff members. We thank our Religious and Hebrew School and Early Childhood teachers, and Youth Group and Scout volunteers for working with our youth. Thank you to our many Temple volunteers who buy and sell items in the Gift Shop, who assist in the Religious School, who answer phones and stuff envelopes, who oversee our cemetery, who work with our finances and serve on our committees. Thank you to the Men of Reform Judaism for being great cooks and extraordinary poker players (all for a good cause). Thanks go to our TOV Network volunteers, to our Worship and Ritual Committee members and to the members of the House Committee, Family Activities, Membership Committee, Financial Commitment, and Web Development Team who work tirelessly. Thank you to our fabulous Adult Education participants and committee members. “A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.” There is never enough time to thank the selfless volunteers whose work enables our Temple community to function smoothly. Thank you with a virtual embrace, especially to our Temple officers and trustees, Rabbis, and executive director for providing the leadership within our Temple. If these thank-you messages are too “general” — that may be true — they are also heartfelt and sincerely delivered. The work that you lovingly do is greatly valued and appreciated. Thank you.

Administrators Corner The New Year has gotten off to a bang with the launching of our new Temple web site. Staffer Nathalie Adler has been spearheading this effort. Thanks to the direction and insight of congregants Michael Furey and Karl Victor III to take us to the next level. The web site address is: www.thetemplelouky.org. Please take a look and leave your feedback and comments. This new web site is the result of a lot of hard work by many individuals. Committee chairs have attended meetings and submitted mission statements as well as descriptions of their committee activities. And we are still not done. The web site will continue to be a work in progress for some time. We plan to add such attributes as taking reservations and payments, financial commitments, and donations over the website. Keep checking the web site for changes and updates. Sally Younger Temple Administrator Meet Our New Receptionist We have a new face at our reception desk.

Religious School

Adult Education

Dear Families, The cold of February is a good time to contemplate the Jewish “memories and traditions” you are creating for your children and your family. When they are in college or older and on their own, what do you want them to remember and to connect with in regards to their Judaism? Hopefully, fond memories will include mornings at Sunday School, Friday nights of Shabbat, the blowing of the shofar and a family meal on Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah with menorahs and grandparents, as well as acts of loving kindness bestowed to others. Children’s memories and family traditions are created from joy and the comfort of repetition, so please continue to build and share solid and wonderful Jewish experiences. Special Events for February Friday, February 9–a wonderful “all congregation” service led by our 7th and 8th graders as we unroll the Torah scroll. Sunday, February 24 – Purim celebrated in the morning at Sunday School (7th and 8th grade community service field trip); 5 pm – service and dinner led by 2nd and 3rd graders. RSVP 423-1818 by Feb. 20 Adults $10, Children free with adult. Mark your calendar - Friday, March 8th - a creative family service led by our 4th grade.

T h e Te mp le E n d o w men t The Temple Mission Statement: The mission of The Temple is to: -be a center for Reform Judaism in Louisville, Kentucky; - provide spiritual guidance and strength through the practice of Judaism; - emphasize the ideals and objectives of Reform Judaism through worship, education, congregational programming, social justice, and our community relationships; and promote the perpetuation of our Jewish heritage.

The Temple Mission Statement is printed in every Bulletin and generally is included in most of our print materials. As you review the mission of The Temple, you may notice that one important economic element is missing. If the mission of The Temple is to achieve all of the tasks listed, how do we achieve this without the funds to help us keep The Temple operating? In reality, we cannot provide spiritual guidance and strength through the practice of Judaism if we cannot pay our bills to enable us to keep our doors open, our staff employed, or our building heated. For several years we have had financial difficulties. We are cautiously spending the revenue we bring in through Financial Commitment donations and other fund-raising efforts. Often, members state that every Temple envelope seems to include a request for more money. Unfortunately, this appears to be a true statement. We have many contractually negotiated fixed costs, an aging and declining population, and a very limited Endowment Fund. We rely on the generosity of our members. Yet, in recent years, more members have asked for adjusted financial commitment and our fund raising efforts have fallen flat. There are ways to help secure the future of this congregation. Leaving a charitable bequest in a will for The Temple is a simple and commonly used method. We recently learned of an extremely generous gift from a long-time Temple member. This gift will help grow the Endowment, which will ultimately produce income that we can rely on for generations. We certainly don’t want to raise dues, but we would like to raise awareness. With careful planning, the tax advantages enjoyed by a charitable organization such as The Temple can offset other costs. A gift to The Temple gives you the chance to make a difference in our congregation and make a personal statement your family’s priorities. In many cases, it makes sense to name The Temple as beneficiary of one of your existing life insurance policies or portion of your retirement account. (Statements borrowed from Mark Oppenheimer’s President’s Message, June 2008) Please consider bequests to The Temple, gifts, life insurance, stocks and bonds, and charitable remainder trusts, which are a few of the options that are a part of a planned giving strategy. Set an example, be the inspiration, leave The Temple a legacy. For additional information, please contact the Temple office and ask for a member of the Endowment Committee to contact you.

You can find out in the Archive’s display cases, where you will learn that individual Jews had been part of the American experience long before the establishment of the New Amsterdam community in 1654. Many Jews accompanied Christopher Columbus and Sir Walter Raleigh. Some Jews were part of the early colonial settlement in Jamestown, Virginia, and came to New Amsterdam (New York City) from Brazil. The display cases also explore the growth of Judaism and the establishment of synagogues in the U.S. It begins with the first four Orthodox synagogues beginning in 1655 and the original nine Reform congregations beginning in 1849, one of which was our Historic Cemetery own Adath Israel.

A Time To Remember

Pillars of The Temple “TO FASHION THE MEASURE OF OUR LIVES” JOAN LYNCH When Joan Lynch delivered her acceptance speech as president of The Temple Sisterhood in 1979, it was not merely a summation of the significant work of Sisterhood, but it was in fact a most important sermon on the role of Judaism in our lives and our obligation to follow in the footsteps of those who preceded us. It was a powerful expression of the meaning of commitment to the ideas and ideals of our Faith, and as she said, to “build strength upon strength as a new chapter in the annals of The Temple unfolds!” She spoke of the inner pleasure of giving of ourselves and of making a contribution to our community. She spoke of living every day of our lives with sensitivity and social conscience, for in her words, “The love of humanity is the whole of morality!” Her goal in this address was more than merely acknowledging the new responsibilities that were hers, but her insistence that we be among those “who choose to fashion the measure of our lives.” It was a profound statement emanating from the conviction that we were being called upon to continue what others had begun, including her paternal grandparents, who during their lifetime were active members of Temple B’rith Sholom and her parents who had been devoted Trustees of Temple Adath Israel. Her views were motivated by the consolidation of those two historic congregations and her role of leadership in that process. Across the years, Joan had been a driving force in the full panorama of Sisterhood projects and activities, which included support of Four Courts, VA Hospital, Ky School for the Blind, the program of rabbinic scholarships through the World Union for Progressive Judaism, the Reform Kibbutzim in Israel, and of course, The Temple’s interfaith and social action programs, which were so important to her. During the consolidation, she was chair of the Art and Decorating Committee and served on the merged Temple Board of Trustees. In the community, she served on the Boards of the National Council of Jewish Women, the Women’s Guild of Jewish Hospital, and Hadassah. She was a divisional chair for the United Jewish Appeal and the president of Brandeis University’s Louisville Chapter, president of the Eastern Central Region of Brandeis, and served on their National Board as Corresponding Secretary. When The Temple was on Third Street, she helped to enhance the sanctuary by commissioning Robert Markert to create a stained glass window of a tree of life for the Holy Ark, which transformed the ordinary wooden door of the Ark into an extraordinary expression of sanctity. In our present Temple building, she and her family were responsible for contributing the magnificent fabric mosaic that hangs opposite the Waller Chapel. I cannot think of a better way to conclude this portrait of Joan Lynch, as a Pillar of The Temple, than by choosing to use her own words, when she said, “Come join with me as we pledge renewed service and dedication to our Temple!” Rabbi Chester B. Diamond THE TEMPLE BULLETIN 12
