Our Temple family is particularly sensitive to the needs of mourners, and that's where the Caring Community becomes involved. Who Are We? We are a group of dedicated members, who both coordinate and provide Shabbat dinners for Temple members who have lost a parent, child, sibling or spouse. We also prepare and deliver soup and bread to Temple members after a debilitating illness or surgery, and to new moms. What is involved? We are in need of cooks, who are able to prepare and/or assemble Shabbat dinners. We also need drivers who can pick up and deliver the meal to the designated family. If a Shabbat dinner is declined, a monetary contribution is made to a relevant fund at Temple. All related expenses are reimbursed by the Caring Community. If you are interested in any way, please contact the Caring Community coordinators, Marilyn Kaczander Cohen at markacz2@gmail.com or Carolyn Silverstein at barryandcarolynsilverstein@gmail.com and Alie Kabbe at alieway@comcast.net. We thank you for your consideration of joining us in carrying out this important mitzvot. o u r t e m p l e f August Anniversaries!

Temple Emanu-El Bulletin • August 2014 • Tamuz / Av 5774 T h e R a b b i ’ s C o r n e r Questions I am asked from time to time: For whom do the Clergy of Temple Emanu-El officiate for, counsel to and respond to pastoral needs? (We are talking about life cycle events such as baby namings, weddings, funerals, hospital visitations or pastoral counseling) The simple answer is that the clergy of Temple Emanu-El responds only to Temple members. But as we all know, Rabbi Arturo Kalfus life is not always so simple. As your Clergy team, Kelly Onickel, our Cantorial Soloist and I will respond to your spiritual and life cycle needs within the context of our Jewish tradition, Temple policies and traditions and the constrains of our Temple calendar. If you have an urgent need, such as the need to be visited in a hospital or scheduling a funeral, we will drop everything and respond to you. If there are needs that are not urgent, we will accommodate you as soon as possible. It helps if you can plan ahead, ask for an appointment or make a phone call sharing with us your particular need with as much lead time as is possible. Our attitude here is important to note: We will respond to you but also we will have an expanded criteria for Clergy involvement. The important Jewish value of Clal Israel (being involved with the larger Jewish community, and I will add the non-Jewish community as well) play a role here. As your Rabbi, you are my primary focus. But we have larger responsibilities as well. If there is a Clergy need in our community, and within the constrains of our availability and energy, this Clergy team will respond. Examples: I have visited mothers of our Early Childhood program who are not yet Temple members. I have presided over baby namings of members of our larger community. I have counseled individuals who came to us “off the streets”. We Want You To Join The Shiru Dor L’dor Youth Choir Calling all 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th graders who love music! Get your service requirements! Learn the music for your Bar/Bat Mitzvah! Sing for Holiday and Shabbat services! Sing in the New Zimriyah! Establish New Life Long Friendships! You don't need to know how to sing. Just be willing to learn and participate. Interested? Contact Cantorial Soloist Kelly Onickel, music@emanuel-mich.org 248-388-0190, or Friend me on Facebook Examples for the future: If you have a close family member or friend who died, who is about to marry or have a baby, but not officially Temple members, within the constrains of our energy and time, we will respond to their Clergy needs. If you know of an interfaith couple in need of Jewish Clergy, we are ready to be helpful. Our Clergy responsibilities are first to you, but they also expand to our neighbors, friends and extended family members. Our Clergy responsibilities relate to our understanding of what God demands of us in this world. As I stated before: We have an expanded criteria for Clergy involvement and our attitude is one of inclusiveness. As Abraham and Sarah of old, we expand our caring also to those outside “of our tent”. It is hoped that this attitude will show our caring, inclusiveness and friendliness to those in need of our pastoral care. They will know that Temple Emanu-El has opened itself to them as they perhaps may consider their spiritual future with us. As I begin my second year with you as your Rabbi, and as High Holy Days are approaching again, I wish you a year of fulfillment of your best hopes and aspirations, From my heart to yours, Rehearsal Sundays Bagel snack 11:30-12:00 • Rehearsal 12:00-12:45 Temple Emanu-El: Where You Belong • 248-967-4020 -3- T emple E d u cator Parsha Va-etchanan – ‘and I was seeking’ In the coming hot August weeks before we begin to do our inner work and prepare for the high holidays, we read the conclusion of the Hebrews’ journey through the desert: we’re with them as they prepare to enter the land, and their future. Parsha Va-etchanan (first week of August this year) has Moses seeking permission from Hashem to enter the land with the people, being refused, Sue Salinger and then giving the people a final teaching as they prepare for new leadership in order to become a land-based nation. It’s a revolutionary moment, a hinge-point in our history. Moshe reminds the people of the 10 Commandments, he recites our declaration of unity – the Shema – and tells the people to teach the story of slaves-become-freed to their children. It’s a complex and fascinating Torah portion – but what stands out as I read it this year is the unusual ritual surrounding this proclamation. Moshe first gathers the people together, and he calls in witnesses to hear what he instructs (that God commands), and hold the people accountable. But he doesn’t call upon human witnesses. Moses calls ‘heaven and earth’ (he has the people set up two immense stones) to witness the last act, as it were, in the story that began with the creation of heaven and earth, featuring a troublesome and ‘stiff-necked’ people who invent a revolutionary new form of religion – a religion of oneness that posits a single divinity beyond any visible form or pictorial representation --who find themselves among the lowest of the low, enslaved for generations, who become free again but who can’t quite shake off slave-mentality so that only their children, a new generation, can enter the land and create the future Jewish people. Moses instructs the people to recall these events – and he says an interesting thing: ‘don’t let the things you saw depart from your HEART.’ Then he says to teach these things forever on to the children. Here’s how I see Va-etchanan informing our learning environment here at Temple Emanu-El. First, we need to imagine and contemplate what it means to not let a remembrance of being slaves disappear. And we need to equally consider what it means to keep a sense of becoming free in our consciousness. That tension provides a space of personal agency, and implies an imperative. We’re free, and what are we going to do as free people? And, we can’t work on this merely in our intellect or reason. We have to bring in our heart, our emotional center. So, our classroom teaching activity needs to be surrounded and transmitted from the heart – from love. Our teachers need to experience and show love for all things Jewish, and for our children. Our classrooms must be filled with love. And second, we need to consider what it might mean that we are accountable to heaven and earth. We’re not on our own, intelligent mammals existing separately from the planet. We owe something to the earth. Our lesson plans and educational programs need to consider what this covenantal relationship with the earth entails, what our side of the negotiation obligates us to. What kind of an arrangement did the future people of Israel (us) enter into at the very moment they were stepping out of the desert into the “good land?” Our educational environment needs to be infused with a sense of connection to the earth. And we won’t let the knowledge that we’re part of the earth depart....from our hearts. Adam/Adamah - the people, the land, one and the same. Holding these things: memories surrounded with and kept as lovingkindness, and a consciousness that we are part of the planet, we will be ready to begin our annual work preparing for the high holidays. All of us students – adult and children – will have remembered who we were, and who we are becoming. School registration is open: sign up your students! -4- Temple Emanu-El Bulletin • August 2014 • Tamuz / Av 5774 Interested in the music at Temple? Please Join us for a Music Committee Meeting M u s i c Happen i ngs at T emple As I was trying to decide what I would write for this month’s article I realized that I had never written an article introducing myself to the congregation. Over the past two years some of you may have been wondering where this woman came from, and how did she get here? My Jewish story really begins when I was 16 years old and I had decided that Cantorial Soloist Catholicism wasn’t working for me, Kelly Onickel but this is a story for another time. The story ends with me converting to Judaism in 1988. Harry and I were married shortly after and we had our son in 1989. The very first service we attended at Temple Emanu-El was Purim 1989, lead by Rabbi Steinger and Cantor Rose z’l. We were greeted with a big smile in the foyer by Mort Wolin z’l, and in the sanctuary by Bea Sacks z’l. We had been shul shopping, and this was the 4th congregation we had visited, and the first one that we had been greeted so warmly at. The service was crazy as is par for the course for Temple EmanuEl’s Purim Services. After the service Mort and Bea made sure to introduce us to their families and welcomed us back any time. We knew we needed to come back and see a regular Shabbat service. So the next week we came back, and as we walked in there was Mort sitting in the foyer. He saw us, jumped up, ran over to me, gave me a big hug, and shook Harry’s hand. He welcomed us back, and to say the very least, we were won over before stepping into the sanctuary. The service was very nice, almost all in English, and far more classic reform than our services today. The music was beautiful with a full, four-part choir and Cantor Rose’s wonderful tenor voice leading the service. But it wasn’t the clergy or service that won us over. It was the kindness and warmth of the congregants that made us want to be a part of Temple Emanu-El. So here we are, members for 25 years. Both my son, Kein, and my daughter, Sierra, went to our ECC starting at the age of two and continuing through kindergarten. They attended our religious school from kindergarten through 12th grade. I have sung in the adult choir, been involved with the Education Committee, Sisterhood, PTO, Membership Committee, and Religious Committee, serving as chair for one term. I lead many Miriam Seders, and Rosh Chodesh services along with filling in for various clergy when needed. I’ve served on the cantorial search committee. One of the first events Harry and I got involved with was the “Holiday Workshop Series” lead by Laura Sacks-Kohn. It was here that I had my first experience singing on the bima, and I knew that this was what I was meant to do. So I called Rabbi Steinger and asked him what the process was to become a cantor. He explained that I would need a BA We will discuss possible concerts in something, for the upcoming year. preferably music, Interest and Questions contact and then I would Kelly Onickel 248-967-4020 or apply to HUC in music@emanuel-mich.org New York. If I got in, the program would be another 5 years, the first year in Israel and then 4 years in N.Y. Well needless to say, this was not going to work. First of all, I had only been married for a year and a half, and we had just had our first child, so my dream was put on the back-burner. But it was always there waiting for the right time. Fast forward to 2006. I was a real estate agent, and the real estate business was not so good. The right time finally surfaced, so I made a decision to go back to school and start working towards my dream of becoming a cantor. Fast forward to 2012, I graduated from Oakland University with a BA in music and a minor in Judaic Studies. This was also the year that Cantor Sharlein decided to go back to Jersey and we were in need of a cantor. I offered my services to Temple and here I am. Today I am working on my Masters in Judaic Studies at U of M with the plan to apply to HUC-JIR Cantorial Certificate program. Today, serving as Temple Emanu-El’s cantorial soloist is a dream come true. The only thing that could be better is serving Temple Emanu-El as your cantor. Shir Chadash Choir The Shir Chadash Choir, Temple Emanu-El’s adult choir, is open to all congregants who love to sing – all levels of experience are welcome. The choir adds to the beauty of services, introducing new melodies and revitalizing classics. We sing at least once a month at Shabbat services – usually the third Friday of the month – and at High Holy Day services. Being a member of the Shir Chadash Choir is a great way to make music, be part of a wonderful community, and learn more about the prayers in our services – all at the same time! We practice on Thursdays, from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. Please contact Cantorial Soloist Kelly Onickel with any questions: music@emanuel-mich.org or (248) 388-0190, or call 248-967-4020 x216 Temple Emanu-El: Where You Belong • 248-967-4020 -5- TODAH RABAH!

With KULANU, we will insure that our congregation’s future is vital, joyful and spiritually enriching. All members will be contacted by one of our KULANU team volunteers in the upcoming year and be asked to add their names to this group. We will be updating this list in future bulletins.

This memorial book will enable members of our Congregational family to pay tribute to their loved ones on that day. SOMETHING NEW: This year we invite those who wish to do so to submit a short tribute paragraph about a loved one remembered in the Memory Book. For reasons of space, there is a maximum of 125 words. You may use the space below or send the text in an email to Barbara at calendar@emanuel-mich.org no later than Tuesday, September 9, 2014 Name of Loved One [please print clearly]:___________________________________________________ Name(s) of People Remembering This Person [please print clearly]: ______________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Text: _________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ We enclose an envelope for your convenience in sending us your names(s) and voluntary High Holy Days Book of Remembrance contribution.

We are unable to guarantee that we will be able to include all tribute paragraph submissions due to considerations of space. We also reserve the right to edit submissions. For further information, please call the Temple office or email Barbara Zeevi at calendar@emanuel-mich.org L’Shalom, Stuart Trager Religious Vice President -8- Temple Emanu-El Bulletin • August 2014 • Tamuz / Av 5774 e x ec u t i ve d i rector Excepts from my report at the Annual Meeting… I am one of many excited by the commitment of Rabbi Kalfus and our members to facing change and taking the opportunity to examine our vision and purpose. The strong communal connections we can develop at Emanu-El make us more resilient, so it is easier for us to create and adopt positive change—not Holiday Schedule only here, but also as we face change (and help others Monday, Sep. 1 to face change) in other aspects of our lives. This year we welcomed Stefanie Steinberg, Val Mladinov and Marla Schloss to our staff providing compeSusan J. Kirschner tent and creative support for our activities (sometimes 40-50 events a month!). And we mourned together the loss of the great-hearted William Sands. My thanks always to them and to Abby Goldfaden, Faye Damraur, Barbara Zeevi, Charles Criss, and Slava Frasinich. Anatoly Paransky has decided to leave in June, after 14 years here, and we wish him well in all future endeavors…Together we handle the “backstage” work of running our not-for-profit (such as mailings—both “e” and “snail”, tributes, financial obligations, taking RSVP’s, helping members with non-educational and non-ritual matters, keeping office equipment alive well beyond normal lifespans, vendor relations, bookkeeping, calendaring, coordinating logistics, financial management, human resources, technology, security, maintenance, quick turnarounds on room set-ups and take-downs, and community representation of Temple Emanu-El on non-religious/non-ritual issues.) This year we upgraded our website as part of our ongoing effort to keep it current and relevant. We made some other changes in the ways we communicate with our members and we hope that we are striking a good balance in getting the word out to you in the ways you prefer to receive it. Our hard-working volunteers deserve a huge hug and so many thanks. If only I could figure out a way to give them breakfast in bed every day for all they do. The synergistic collaboration among members, lay leaders, volunteers and staff makes us greater than the sum of our parts. Special thanks to our Budget and Financial Obligations committees, who are often unsung heroes. (They are always looking for a few more good men and women to join them!) And this year our KULANU campaign really got off the ground, thanks to the efforts of co-chairs Marc Bakst, Steve Permut and Cathy Topf (aided and abetted by President Bruce Klein). Members of these committees enable everything else that happens here. The Budget…It cannot be said enough: We succeed because of the steadfast support of our members, both from dues and in response to our other appeals and events. Every congregation lives with the knowledge that dues* alone are not sufficient to fund a temple. Each year parts of my report overlap with those of the clergy, educators and the lay leaders, but that merely shows we are all laboring for the same goals. I thank those who laid the path for new leaders and are stepping off the Executive Committee and Board, particularly Ruthanne Okun, for her service as Membership Vice President and I welcome and thank those who will be elected and/or return for another year of service on the Board.

This year Metroparks brought a nature center to our school in their Mobile Learning Center. The theme was “Life Cycle of Birds, Etc.” Our Safety Town program under the direction of head teacher Janet Sigmon was held during Session Eileen Brand II for Camp Get-A-Way campers. A field trip to the Health Exploration Station with a presentation of “Stranger Danger” was part of our summer program. A visit from Louie the Lightening Bug as well as swimming at the JCC pool filled our days. Everyone enjoyed our camp Shabbat sing-along. Graduation was held on Thursday, July 24th and everyone passed with flying colors (red, amber and green). Summer is going all too quickly as we get ready for Session III of Day Camp. A trip to Red Oaks Water Park, “Rumpelstiltskin” at the Marquis Theater, as well as a special performance from Paula Doak highlight this session. As we look forward to the start of a new school year, I enjoy the opportunity of meeting new families and telling them all about our school. Of course, we are a Jewish pre-school, but welcoming to all. We make everyone feel comfortable as indicated by our enrollment. Just what is it that makes a Jewish pre-school special? I share this article with you, written by Stacy Reiber on her parenting blog, kveller.com.: “A few weeks ago I met my two oldest friends for lunch. We’ve managed to maintain our friendship for 33 years–practically our entire lives–and through living in three different states. I’m aware that these kinds of friendships are rare–as adults we are all so completely different, yet we share an unspoken connection. I can be myself around them and they have been there to offer support and guidance through many of life’s twists and turns. On the drive home from our gathering, with my kids in tow chattering away in the backseat, I thought about what’s made our friendship last when so many others have faded. It began in the classrooms of our Jewish preschool.” Jewish preschool. Exactly the place we ended up three years ago, when my oldest was 4. My husband and I thought he should spend a year in preschool before kindergarten, but the decision to make a change weighed heavily on us. At the time, I was hesitant to leave the loving arms of home day care for a more formal preschool. I had so many concerns and it was hard to imagine finding a place that would meet all of our family’s needs. “Who were these new people? Would we fit in? Would the teachers REALLY know my kids the way our sitter had?” Clearly, though, the preschool was prepared for a family with my level of worry and met my family and I with smiles at every open house and “get to know you” event. We took the leap to enroll and almost immediately my fears were dismissed as we were welcomed into the community. Many families reached out to offer a warm welcome and to make a connection. I realized just much how this community would come to mean to me when that September my mother-in-law passed away. The preschool sent a Shabbat dinner to us and strangers, now friends, came to pay shiva calls. Remembering Temple Emanu-El: Where You Belong • 248-967-4020 how those people reached out to us still touches me so deeply. The teachers took time to offer advice about how to help my kids understand the loss of their grandparent. More changes came that spring as we moved into a new house. My son’s teacher shared ideas on how to help my sensitive boy transition to our new home. A few weeks later, the school seemed to anticipate my son’s trepidation at going to kindergarten and announced they would be holding a special breakfast for all the graduating children to help them talk about moving up to school with the big kids. Our Jewish preschool has embraced every aspect of my children. When my youngest son went through a fancy girly sock phase the teachers “oohed and ahhed” over his feet no matter how funny he looked. When one was scared of a toilet that wouldn’t stop flushing, the facilities manager let my son help him fix it. On the first night of Hanukkah this year, my son was sick and missed the day at school so his teacher drove to our house to deliver his hand-made menorah and kissed his feverish head. Those acts of kindness are just the norm at Jewish preschool. Seeing as how my kids have come to feel such a sense of belonging, I laugh now when I think back to that first day when I nervously called to check on my boys. The synagogue administrator answered the phone and I could hardly squeak out, “How are they?” I figured she’d turn me over to the director or just leave a message for the teachers. Instead she shared that my boys had just been playing up and down the hallway on their toys and were happy as could be. In such a short time my kids came to know every staff member in that temple by name. Jewish preschool was, and is still, a special place. It’s so much more than just a preschool. It’s the place that my children planted their roots. They will always have the lessons they’ve learned there to look back on as they successfully navigate the future surrounded by the friends they’ve made.” As I write this, we are in our final weeks at the preschool. I get choked up just thinking about leaving. I had hoped for a place that would meet our children’s needs but never dreamed we’d find a place that has shaped our entire family’s life. We have made the best of friends and found a place to practice our faith. When I watch my kids play and pretend they are the Maccabees or hum a Jewish tune I know they have naturally developed a Jewish identity. They will always love being Jewish because of this positive beginning. I don’t think there’s a way I can ever repay all the caring teachers and staff that have shared in the joy of raising our children. They will all be a part of my children forever. After all, it’s where my boys learned to wink and “not eat yellow snow.” They will always have Jewish preschool in their hearts, just as I have always kept it in mine. I am so thankful for the specialness that is Jewish preschool.” Enjoy the rest of this beautiful summer!
