Unity in Israel and Nashville
A First: Nashville Reform Congregations Combine
For Summer Unity Shabbats
As many of you know, I’ll be traveling to Israel at the
end of the month, joining with the senior rabbis of Nashville’s
other Jewish congregations as part of the Jewish Federation’s
Community Mission to the Jewish homeland. In total, the
delegation will be comprised of approximately 80 members
Rabbi Schiftan
of the Jewish community (including several Federation staff,
rabbis, and others from nearby communities). The Temple’s delegation will
represent more than 20 percent of this group. The rabbis will play a critical
role in this mission, including a day spent at the Shalom Hartman Institute, focusing
on Jewish pluralism, both within the Jewish State and back home in Nashville.
The Temple continues to play a major role in this effort of rabbinic cooperation
and unity, most recently in hosting an evening panel of rabbis from across the religious
spectrum of practice and belief. All were gathered to reflect and comment on Rabbi
Jonathan Sacks’ recent book Not In God’s Name, focused on the global threat of
religious extremism.
Now, we are pleased to announce a new innovative and collaborative
effort, specifically with our fellow clergy at Congregation Micah. On two
consecutive summer shabbat evenings, June 3rd and 10th, the congregations will
combine to celebrate shabbat with worship and song, followed by a shabbat dinner
and a program on “Where is God in Reform Judaism?”. The program is offered
through the Hebrew Union College, and will include both a video presentation and a
subsequent discussion by the rabbis and cantor of both congregations.
On Friday, June 3rd, we will gather for services and the program at Congregation
Micah, and on Friday, June 10th, we will all gather at Temple for the same sharing of
services, supper and subsequent program. On those evenings, there will be only one
combined service, at one venue, but shared by both Reform congregations and their
clergy.
I know it is still several weeks’ away, but because it will be a first, I wanted to
make sure we had ample time to let you know of these exciting plans.

Demographic Trends in Temple Membership
The Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee recently released a new
demographic survey that indicates a “slowly but steadily growing” Jewish population in Middle
Tennessee. More importantly as pertains to The Temple, the synagogue affiliation rate identified in
the survey for the Nashville area is roughly the same as the national average. Based on the results
of this survey, the first in over ten years, is The Temple experiencing the same or similar trends?
Although The Temple has not conducted a scientific survey of the type commissioned
by the Federation, the membership information for our current fiscal year (which started on July
Ralph Levy
1, 2015) that is reported on a monthly basis to our Executive Committee and Board of Trustees
provides insight into the answers to these questions. Although seven months of information is admittedly a very small
and statistically insignificant sample size, we have identified several noteworthy Temple membership trends.
Trend #1- No Growth in Total Membership:The good news in this area is that Temple membership remains for
the most part constant; several other URJ congregations have suffered decreased membership for years. The bad news
is that the overall membership of The Temple has not increased. Although The Temple is obtaining its “fair share” of the
growing number of Jewish persons in Middle Tennessee, the overall total number of members remains stable since The
Temple (as does any congregation) has deaths and receives resignations from existing members. For example, during the
first seven months of this fiscal year, we received applications for thirty-five (35) new members. However, during this
same time period, our total membership increased by eleven (11) members after taking into account deaths, resignations
and suspensions of members by the Board of Trustees.
Trend #2- Younger Membership: Even though overall Temple membership remains roughly constant, we have
experienced significant growth in “young members”. For example, approximately twenty percent (20%) of our current
membership is under age 40. This trend is a result of a very conscious effort to attract younger members to The Temple
through, for example, favorable membership pricing to young persons and engaging Rabbi Michael Shulman as Director
of Next Generation Programming.
Trend #3- Returning Home: The third noticeable trend relates to an increasing number of new congregants
of all ages who “grew up” at The Temple and who either have lived outside of Nashville for varying periods of time and
are moving back to Nashville or who live in Nashville and are changing congregational affiliations. This pattern became
apparent during our current fiscal year in which thirteen (13) of the thirty-five (35) total new member applicants fit into
this category.
What are the implications of these trends? In summary, these trends bode well for our continuing efforts to
attract members to The Temple regardless of age with a welcoming culture and extensive programming and other
activities that help establish and sustain the strong sense of connection our congregants have to The Temple and each
other. We are encouraged

Social Action
Abe’s Garden
Each month we highlight an organization which receives funds through the Temple’s Social Action Allocations
Abe’s Garden seeks to establish a model of care for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders (ADRD). It
includes “intentional engagement”, the individual’s active involvement in meaningful activities tailored to each individual’s strengths,
personal history and interests. Therapists and other well trained staff will encourage resident participation in and leadership of
programming including music, movement, art, horticulture, cooking, pet care and numerous activities of daily living.
Music has a well-documented ability to enliven individuals with dementia. Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease who are otherwise
nonverbal are often able to sing the words to a familiar song, and music is effective in decreasing the frequency of agitated and
aggressive behaviors for individuals diagnosed with ADRD. Music engages gross and fine motor skills, and incorporates the following
regions of the brain simultaneously: language, affect, reminiscence, rhythm and timing. Drums and percussion instruments are
especially appealing because they are expressive, versatile, portable, and easy to play. The Temple’s funds help to provide music,
drums and other percussion instruments for use at the center.
Remember to bring in your PULL TABS from soda and other cans.
Ronald McDonald House uses them to raise funds to support the services they offer as a “home away from home”
to out-of-town families with seriously ill children in local hospitals.
March 12th- Mazel Tones at Richland Place at 1:00pm

and Passover. Shmoozing and refreshments will follow. Special thanks to the Jewish Federation of Nashville for generously
supporting what is sure to be a wonderful afternoon of music and fun for everyone!

Fun Facts
Question: Did you know that either one or two “time capsules” were embedded in one of the interior walls at The Temple in
2001 as part of the renovation of The Temple building?
Answer: At least one time capsule that contains several Temple-related items is embedded in a building interior wall near the exit
door from the corridor that runs in back of Meeting Rooms A and B of The Temple.
The Fun Fact that appears in the February, 2016 issue of The View contains a detailed listing of some of the fifty-two articles that
are contained in the cornerstone that was laid in 1874 in the Vine Street Temple and that was moved to the new Temple building
on Harding Road in 1955. However, little information is available about the contents of the (one or two) time capsules that were
embedded in an interior wall of the Temple building on May 20, 2001, over 125 years after the cornerstone was laid in the Vine
Street Temple. In addition, Temple records do not indicate if a formal dedication ceremony took place when the capsule(s) were
encased in the wall.
Here is a partial listing of what we believe to be contained in the time capsule(s):
Contribution from Religious School - During the renovation of The Temple, Lynda Gutcheon, then the Educator, gave each
Religious School student $1.00 as a Chanukah gift on the condition that each student match the gift and do something with it that
would make a difference for others. Upon doing so, each student wrote on a post card what he or she had decided to do or what
the student did as a result of the request. The cards from the Religious School students were put into a box for placement in the
time capsule(s).
Some Other Items Likely Contained in the Time Capsule(s):
1.
Women of Reform Judaism pin
2.
Selected Congregant Hour presentations
3.
Psychedelic Jewish Star Slinky
4.
Prayer Books
5.150th Anniversary Calendar
6.
Selected issues of Kol Shalom (now called The View)
7.
Digital pictures of confirmation classes and of past Presidents
8.

Preschool
by Corye Nelson
Three years ago, Moon Bishop (former Temple
Preschool Teacher and Pedagogista), Elle Harvey (Director
of A New Leaf Preschool) and I were inspired by a
documentary of an early childhood classroom in Reggio
Emilia, Italy that took their learning outside of the classroom
and into local merchant’s establishments to enhance their
learning through hands-on explorations. We wanted to bring
such an experience to our community.
Our project is called A Child’s Guide to the City and we are currently in our third year. Each year, Moon and I promote
the project through workshops and special meetings with early childhood professionals. Each year we have gotten new
participants and have watched the project grow into a very inspirational relationship between the early childhood programs
and our community at large. The Temple Preschool has had classrooms participate all three years.
HOW IT WORKS:
Early childhood teachers will pinpoint an area of interest within their classrooms. They will brainstorm about how they
can take this particular area of interest and expand the research to a merchant in our local community. Then, in the early
spring, we celebrate the learning and the partnership through a city-wide celebration of exhibits held at the community
partner’s establishment.
THE PROGRAM IN ACTION:
This year, The Temple Preschool has three classrooms participating in A Child’s Guide to the City.
Our Shalom Classroom has been researching construction since the beginning of the school year. The teachers found
a house, on the street behind our campus that is under construction. They have been taking walking field trips to the
construction site. They have met the foreman, the site manager, and many of the construction workers. The children have
sketched drawings, discussed theories, interviewed workers and have had the professionals come visit their classrooms
to show them the blue prints and floor plans (they even got to keep a copy of the blue prints and use them in their
classroom).
This class is also obsessed with books. They have had an author and illustrator come to talk to them about how books
are written, illustrated, printed and bound. A small group of children are writing, illustrating, and will make a book about the
classroom’s construction project.
At the end of the project, the classroom will create documentation of their experiences and have a classroom
celebration, with their community partners and exhibit their work. I don’t have enough room to go into detail about all of
the classrooms’ projects, but I will make sure you know about all of their exhibits so you can have the opportunity to visit
them all. The other classrooms projects are:
The Tovah classroom has been investing how their bodies move. The focus has evolved from the children’s interest in
yoga. They are partnering with The Second Story (Dance) Studio located on Harding Pike.
The Kavod classroom is investigating music. This project evolved from the children’s interest in sound and instruments.
They are partnering with two bands. One is The Temple’s band and the other is a band from a local church. A special
thanks to Cantor Fishbein for working with this class on their partnership with The Temple’s band.
Classroom Simchah partnered with
Edwin Warner Nature Center for their
investigation into Bugs in 2015

to be a Host Family for NFTY-OV Spring Kallah!
What’s a “NFTY-OV Spring Kallah”?
Each fall and spring our NFTY (North American Federation of Temple Youth) region hosts a convention for
teens from all over! It’s Nashville’s turn, and Congregation Micah is excited to join with The Temple to
provide an amazing weekend of programming for 8th-12th graders!
When is this shindig?
Thursday afternoon, April 14th - Sunday morning, April 17th
Sure, but what do I have to do as a host family?
Transportation (picking up Thursday evening, picking up & dropping of Friday, picking up & dropping off
Saturday, and dropping off Sunday morning); Breakfast Friday and Saturday, Dinner Saturday and a
few snacks here & there; Provide a fun and safe environment for our guests...we’ll do the rest!!
Why should I do this?
Because we believe in L’dor Vador, from generation to generation. We also know that Nashville ROCKS and
our congregants are the BEST! You will have a hand in providing a memorable and exciting weekend for

The total number of students staying with you will be confirmed the week prior to Spring Kallah, but we
anticipate no more than 3-5 students per household. Beds are not necessary, but seat belts are.
Do I have to have a teenager of my own?
No! In fact, this is a great time to be involved in NFTY as a congregant, whether or not you have a
teenager participating in the event! We encourage families with young children or empty nesters to be a part
of the fun!
