REFLECTION
As I prepare for my 32nd Rosh Hashanah at Temple Israel, I have never been more excited about the people and pro gramming we have in place to effectuate the most meaning ful High Holy Days to date. From Selichot through Simchat Torah, we are activating our campuses and reinvigorating our rituals with opportunities for all ages. Are you ready? 5783 promises to be not a repeat of this year we are con cluding but rather a refresh. Our offerings will reflect a com mitment to refreshing not only this time but also this place — the inclusive, forward-thinking, all-embracing spiritual home we know and love.
As always, our offerings will be viewable on our high-qual ity virtual platforms; however, as with most things in life, there is no substitute for praying, singing, and connecting in person. Please make plans to be with us, however, you can join us, as we return to renew ourselves and each other throughout the months ahead.

As an aside, as we read through the High Holy Day Machzor/prayerbook together, I'm thrilled to share that the phrase "Next year in Jerusalem..." will ring true not once but twice with magical Temple Israel trips to Israel next May and October 2023. See page 4 for more information.
The overriding Jewish message of this time is that it's never too late to begin again and move forward, no matter what the past year has wrought. L’shanah tovah u’metukah – May you and everyone you love be inscribed in the Book of Life for a year of health, joy, and blessing.
Families with both young children and teens will experi ence the dynamic duo of Emily Groff Heilborn, Temple’s new Cantorial Music Director, and our veteran Music and Educa tion Specialist Carly Abramson. Our 20s and 30-somethings will relate to offerings from programming in TI Crosstown to Rabbi Jeff Dreifus' Tashlich nature walk in Shelby Farms Park. In our main Sanctuary, our aim is to fill the sacred space with deep spirituality, rich orchestral music with Cantorial So loist Happie Hoffman, thought-provoking sermons from cler gy, and food for the mind and soul throughout the greatest day of the Jewish year, Yom Kippur. Thanks to the creativity and remarkable commitment of our lay leaders and staff—President Leigh Mansberg and the Board of Trustees, Executive Director Stacy Canales and Director of Facilities Scott Giles, Brotherhood and Sis

Righteous Among Men: Rabbi James A. Wax, A Life Dedicated to Social Justice will open on Sunday, September 18, 2022, with a reception open to the community from 3-5 PM, and will showcase Rabbi Wax’s commitment to Judaism and social justice – a commitment that defined his life, paving the way for his pivotal role in the 1968 Memphis Sanitation Workers’ Strike and his visionary leadership as an advocate for those with mental illness. Social justice has always been Reform Judaism’s crown jewel, and no leader was more committed to the vision of the Hebrew Prophets to end injustice than Rabbi James A. Wax. When the Torah exhorts the Jewish people and its leaders “to be strong and of good courage,” Rabbi Wax heard the call and lived those words. In the spirit of the Hebrew prophets, he appealed to the heart and moral conscience of humanity and paid the price, thus embodying what it means to be strong and of good courage. As President of the Memphis Ministers Association, Rabbi Wax led the march of hundreds of ministers to City Hall and confronted Mayor Henry Loeb with the nation watching on all three television networks, telling him, “There are laws far greater than the laws of Memphis and Tennessee, and these are the laws of God, human decency, and dignity.”

WRITTEN BY RABBI MICAH D. GREENSTEIN
The Temple Israel Museum houses The Herta and Dr. Justin H. Adler Juda ica Collection, which reflects Jewish life and culture throughout the world. The Museum's extensive collection of Jewish art and ritual objects illustrates the religious and creative expressions of the Jewish people through the centuries as well as an understanding of the Jewish experi ence and the Jewish way of life.
iguel de Cervantes Saavedra, the Early Modern Spanish writer widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language, wrote this about courage: “One who loses wealth loses much. One who loses a friend loses more. But one who loses courage loses all.” It is no exaggeration to say that the rabbi and clergyman whose courage never waivered—no matter what the losses—was Temple Israel’s Rabbi James A. Wax, who led Memphis’ Reform synagogue from 1954 until 1978. When Rabbi Wax passed away in 1989, the newspaper called him “the moral conscience of the community.” One local religious leader added, “Each one has his minister, but the entire community has Rabbi Wax.” After years of research, planning, and preparation, The Temple Israel Museum is pleased to announce the creation of a multi-dimensional exhibit that will feature the religious, spiritual, and social conscience of Rabbi James A. Wax.
THE COURAGE OF RABBI JAMES A. WAX
The Temple Israel Museum is grateful to the following Presenting Sponsors for their support: The Herbert Shainberg Foundation and members of the James A. Wax family: Jonathan I. Wax, James A. Wax, and James R. Wax One who loses wealth loses much. One who loses a losesButlosesfriendmore.onewhocouragelosesall.
The legacy of Rabbi Wax is felt in the mission of Temple Israel and the fabric of the greater Memphis community to this day. We hope you will join us for the community reception at Temple on Sunday, September 18, from 3-5 PM. It will remain free and open to the entire community. RSVP and learn more at timemphis.org/rabbiwax.

Earlier this year, the Board of Trustees authorized a committee to develop a new strategic plan. We want your input on how to make Temple even stronger in the future. Your responses will be anonymous. Each person in your household can complete their own survey one time. After completing this strategic plan, we will form activity groups to enrich our Temple life. We encourage congregants who may be interested in leading or serving on one of these activity groups to share their contact information and activity interest by emailing Anna Bearman at annab@timemphis.org.
