REFLECTION

Southern Jewish writer and humorist Harry Golden once asked his staunch atheist father why he belonged to a synagogue and attended services every Shabbat. Golden’s father answered: “You see Cohen over there? Cohen comes to shul to talk to God. I come to shul to talk to Cohen.”

That’s the truth of Judaism, isn't it? Some of us come to shul to talk to God, and others of us come to shul to talk to each other. Either is the right motive since we are a faith family — a Jewish people who, like a family, are as much about belonging as believing.

Every Rosh Hashanah can be a new beginning, whether internally or interpersonally, when you open up your heart and join in the doing that we live and breathe as a congregation.

The 5784 High Holy Days will offer an exciting array of new faces, new offerings, and new opportunities to connect with one another and our Judaism.

When you choose to come to shul — not only on the High Holy Days but also any future Shabbat — you can experience the full complement of our expanded rabbinic team with the addition of Rabbi Ross Levy alongside me and Rabbi Dreifus. Learn more about Rabbi Levy on page 08.

Our congregational music offerings have never been more robust, including opportunities for both adults and youth to learn how to play and perform Jewish music on

piano and guitar and sing in a brand new Temple choir, all under the direction of Cantorial and Music Director Emily Groff Heilborn. Check out the alternative music and worship offerings during the High Holy Days with Emily and Rabbi Levy in addition to our grand sanctuary services with our rabbis and Cantorial Soloist Happie Hoffman.

Rabbi Emeritus Harry Danziger will share the essential lessons he has learned about life in a poignant Yom Kippur afternoon session. I will moderate a program entitled, "Standing in Solidarity-How to Combat Hate with Joy ," with United States Justice Department and FBI top brass.

From tots and teens to families and seniors, every stage and age will find inspiration on our campus throughout the High Holy Days. Make the New Year a true renewal —personally and communally—by showing up for the greatest Jewish season of the year.

L'shanah tovah u'metukah. On behalf of the entire clergy team and staff of your home congregation, warmest wishes to you and everyone you love for a healthy, meaningful, and sweet 5784!

Ross Z. Levy’s Return

Home to Tennessee

THERE AND BACK AGAIN

Rabbi

“On March 18, 1850, two Bavarian immigrants named Zadock Levy and Amelia (Marie) Laufer were married in Cincinnati, Ohio.

On July 12, 1875, Zadock Levy signed his last will and testament in Nashville, TN. Listed among the charitable donations made from his estate was a $20 gift to the newly formed “American Hebrew Congress and College,” also known as the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (now Union for Reform Judaism) and Hebrew Union College (now Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion).

On May 8, 2021—nearly 150 years after the composition of that will—in the presence of beloved classmates, teachers, family and friends both near and far, Zadock and Marie’s greatgreat-great-grandson was formally ordained as a rabbi by that very same institution, in the very same county where they began building a new life together.”

Rabbi Ross Z. Levy’s ordination reflection excerpt is not only a powerful example of place; it is the embodiment of an enriching rabbinate that now takes shape and finds even deeper meaning at Temple Israel as Assistant Rabbi.

This summer, which marked one of both physical and philosophical transition from the West Coast to his now-Southern stomping grounds, Rabbi Levy spent extra hours amidst the move watching movies of J. R. R. Tolkien’s riveting tales. The Hobbit’s “There and Back Again” was perhaps more than a coincidental subtitle and pastime. The idiom reflects a round-trip meaning of life: to journey and return with a richer outlook.

“Ever since my first visit to Temple Israel, the feeling of ‘returning home’ has resonated deeply,” reflects Rabbi Levy. “To take all of my experiences and travels and bring them back with me—and, as a result, see a familiar place through new eyes—is such a thrilling and meaningful opportunity.”

“Home” is Tennessee, where Rabbi Levy was raised. He spent his formative years attending Nashville’s The Temple Congregation Ohabai Sholom, a sister Reform congregation of Temple Israel, where his family has belonged for five generations. He credits his passion for Judaism to childhood

summers spent at Camp Barney Medintz in Georgia and his high school years as an active local, regional, and international leader in BBYO.

A graduate of The George Washington University in Washington, DC, Rabbi Levy received a degree in Religion and immediately enrolled in Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. He spent the first of his five-year rabbinical school journey in Jerusalem, followed by four years on the Cincinnati campus.

“My first year in Israel was pivotal in terms of connecting not only with my new identity as a rabbi but also with others—including my classmate Rabbi Jeff Dreifus—as well as with the land of Israel.”

“Cincinnati then immersed me in the history of the Reform Movement,” reflected Rabbi Levy. “It’s pretty incredible to

Ever since my first visit to Temple Israel, the feeling of ‘returning home’ has resonated deeply

have studied each day in a place that not only shaped our Jewish tradition but also one that nurtured my own family heritage, as my great-great-great grandparents began our family in Cincinnati. Feeling the tangible legacy of this long history gave such meaning to my rabbinical foundation.”

While studying at HUC-JIR’s Cincinnati campus, Rabbi Levy served as a student rabbi and intern in cities including Cincinnati, Lafayette, Louisiana, Nashville, and Boulder, Colorado. He also spent one summer on staff at URJ Henry S. Jacobs Camp, which welcomes dozens of Temple Israel families year after year to Utica, Mississippi.

“My summer at Jacobs reinforced the significance of community in Jewish life and Southern Jewish life, in particular,” said Rabbi Levy.

“My mom grew up in Brooklyn, where being Jewish was in the air you breathed,” he described. “It was not something you had to actively and mindfully seek out and embody and practice in an active way. Being a Jew in the South, on the other hand, is about making that active choice to be part of a Jewish community and say ‘this is what I care about and this is who I am.’”

“You can set it aside and simply blend in without distinguishing yourself, but actively choosing has profoundly influenced both my personal and professional life. We often hear the phrase ‘Jew by choice’ as reserved for those who complete a conversion to Judaism. I think we are all realistically Jews by choice, and I’m proud of that.”

Following his ordination, Rabbi Levy spent two years in Los Angeles with Congregation Kol Ami. The synagogue serves a primarily LGBTQ+ community with innovative programming and music-filled worship.

“I experienced what it means to open your arms wide and use Jewish tradition as a tool to create a place of home and acceptance,” said Rabbi Levy. “I was excited to witness and foster a new, innovative definition of what a ‘synagogue’ means for people no matter their Jewish background. ”

Rabbi Levy is excited to bring a diverse path of experiences and resources to foster Jewish community building in Memphis and at Temple Israel. He hopes his own journey— both introspectively and geographically—inspires congregants to set out on their own journey to discover and nurture their love of Judaism.

“I see my job as connecting with people and connecting them to Jewish tradition through whatever inspires them. But I also see my job from a broader perspective of connecting Jews to one another,” he continues. “To create connections to one another and help them find their place under this incredible umbrella that is Temple Israel. That’s the most lasting thing. That is what ensures our congregation’s next 170 years.”

Lech l’cha: The joy of the journey.

I see my job as connecting with people and connecting them to Jewish tradition through whatever inspires them.

Step into the world of our dynamic Wendy & Avron Fogelman Religious School as we highlight the exciting moments that unfolded since the last Voice. Our students have been immersed in a journey of learning and celebration, from engaging in a meaningful Passover seder to having fun at the Purim carnival. They have learned about our Jewish traditions with hands-on learning experiences that bring our heritage to life. Our High School students celebrated the milestones of Confirmation and Graduation with their families in attendance to bless their dedication and commitment to Judaism.

To culminate the school year, we gathered for a cookout, generously sponsored by Brotherhood. We cannot wait for the 2023-2024 year!

SINCE THE LAST VOICE

AT THE BARBARA K. LIPMAN EARLY LEARNING CENTER

Our little learners have enjoyed new adventures every day at the Barbara K. Lipman Early Learning Center. They sang alongside the talented Ms. Carly, explored the wonders of the great outdoors, and learned about the beauty of each season. They lit up the Temple with a joyful Purim parade and celebrated the spirit of Israel on Yom Ha'atzmaut. From shaping and braiding Challah for Mother's Day to lighting up the dance floor with an exuberant Father's Day party, our students have embraced every moment with infectious enthusiasm. Together, we have created cherished memories and nurtured a love for learning that will last a lifetime.

SINCE THE LAST VOICE

You spoke. We heard you. The overwhelming response to our year-long set of focus groups and our congregation-wide survey was that you want to feel more connected – connected not just to us as clergy and to Temple’s beautiful building and grounds, but connected to one another. When was the last time you felt the warmth and joy of sitting around a Shabbat dinner table, laughing and eating good food with people you care about? Do you have a hobby, skill, or interest, and like being around other people who share your same passions?

We are thrilled to introduce to you a radically different way of connecting to your Jewish community, which we are calling Temple Tribes. By bringing you together in small, intimate groups of people who share your interests, neighborhoods, and/or life stages, we hope to help you foster deep and lasting friendships while connecting over the things you already love, in a convenient way that matches your lifestyle. We already have Tribes as diverse as rock climbing, bird watching, drinking wine, brewing beer, going to concerts, exercising, playing mah-jongg, studying Jewish texts, and so many more.

But, Tribes don’t stop at playing and learning together. As Jews, we know that gathering for Shabbat dinner is like comfort food for the soul – sharing our triumphs, our struggles, and the everyday goings-on that form the mosaic of our lives. So, in addition to shared interest groups, we hope you will find your Shabbat Tribe to gather and break bread every month or so.

You may be thinking to yourself, this sounds nice and all, but I already have friends. Well, bring them along. Start a Tribe with a few of your closest friends, and let us introduce you to a few more folks you will love, but you don’t know yet.

We are blessed to be part of a congregation of literally thousands of wonderful people with diverse careers, passions, and hometowns. Join us, and let Temple help you FIND YOUR TRIBE among them. Special thanks to Temple Trustees, Bruce Landau and Mark Levine, for their leadership and partnership in making this initiative a reality.

L’shalom, Rabbi Jeff Dreifus and Faith Ruch, Director of Congregational Engagement

UNLOCK YOUR MUSICAL POTENTIAL WITH TIMPO CLASSES

TIMPO classes are the heart of our program, offering enriching experiences for all ages and skill levels. Our commitment to nurturing young talents led to the introduction of a beginner guitar class for 4th - 5th graders.This class blended Jewish and secular music to teach the fundamentals of guitar playing. And that's not all; wehave great news! In Spring 2024, we'll be launching a brand-new piano lab, bringing the joy of piano classes toTemple Israel. Adults can look forward to the Fall sessions of beginner guitar, while beginner piano classes for bothadults and young children will be offered in the Spring, and our Religious School will provide an array of youthTIMPO classes throughout the year.
