Rabbi’s Message
By: Rabbi Amy L. Memis-Foler
Shabbat
Service Schedule:
November
There’s a saying in Judaism that expresses: if you ask two Jewish people a question, you’ll get three opinions—and some- November 1 - 9:00 am
times more. Perhaps the humor in this punchline is due to the Shabbat Minyan
oftentimes truth to such a situation. In Judaism there’s often
November 7 - 7:30 pm
more than two ways to look at a dilemma.
Shabbat with Birthday Blessings
In a scene from Fiddler on the Roof, Tevye and the men of the town are arguing with Perchik, a university student, who is trying to convince these villagers November 8 - 9:00 am
that they cannot ignore what’s going on in the outside world. One man says, Shabbat Minyan
“Why should I break my head about the outside world? Let the outside world November 8 - 10:30 am
break its own head.” Tevye chimes in, “He’s right.”
Bat Mitzvah of
Madelyn Silverstein
Perchik then retorts, “Nonsense, you can’t close your eyes to what’s happening
in the world,” and Tevye adds, “He’s right.” A third man comments pointing November 14 - 7:30 pm
first to Perchik, then to the first man who spoke, “He’s right, and he’s right. Prayer Study Shabbat
They both can’t be right.” At which point Tevye adds, “You know, you’re also
November 15 - 9:00 am
right.”
Shabbat Minyan
Judaism is filled with discussion and debate for which there may be more than
two sides. In his book, Judaism's Great Debates, Rabbi Barry L Schwartz ex- November 21 - 7:30 pm
Family Shabbat with
plains a teaching of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav. “… debate is a holy form of Anniversary Blessings and
communication. The holiness is derived from the way debate echoes the divine Kol Simcha Choir
process of tzimtzum, making space for the creation of something new.” When
we engage in debate, if we are truly listening to the words of the other person, November 22 - 9:00 am
then it can help strengthen our own side, but it also does something else: it can Shabbat Minyan
allow for the opportunity and emergence of other new ideas.
Yet there’s only one answer to the following question, “When is TJM’s Adult
Retreat at OSRUI this year?” The answer is, the weekend of December 5-7,
2014. Incidentally, the theme of this year’s Adult Retreat is “Great Jewish Debates.” See page 7 for more details. We will explore some of the great debates
in Judaism, focusing on the timelessness of the underlying values of the discussion. I anticipate this will be a very lively weekend, and I hope you’ll be able to
join us.
L’shalom,

President’s Message
By: Sharon Kessler
Many of you heard me speak about “making memories” last
month during the High Holy Days 5775 services. Since
then, many of you have told me about your favorite memories and the items in your homes that physically represent an
important moment in your lives.
Today, it seems like young people think that nothing really happens in their lives
unless they have a picture taken of themselves. They have even coined a name
for a picture like this, “a selfie”. What a name! It sounds like selfish to me, but
maybe I’m showing my age. Millions of such pictures are being taken every day.
I wonder if the people in these pictures spend any time just enjoying the people
they are with, the places that they are visiting, or the world outside of their own
personal space. They seem so consumed with the taking of the pictures.
Today, in our own Temple Judea Mizpah, there are millions more memories
waiting to be made. We are again faced with financial dilemmas of the past several years. We have made memories for our congregants for 60 and a half years.
We need the help of everyone connected with the temple to come together and
dig deep to raise the funds to continue the traditions and programs that we are
so proud of.
The cost of our daily operations is huge. It is way more than the dollars
brought in with dues and the money brought in from our tenants. We have our
High Holy Day Appeal, Generation Next, and the Founders 2020 that we started last year which try and raise the rest of needed dollars. It may seem as if all
we do at TJM is beg for money. I think about how we are going to pay the bills
every day.
Whatever your personal finances allow, we need your help. Please think about
all of the wonderful memories you have of times with your friends from Temple
Judea Mizpah, and do everything you can to help us continue our destiny. It
can only be wonderful and exciting if each of us does everything we can in order
to help. If you have already made your pledge or donation to the High Holy
Day Appeal, thank you so much. If you haven’t gotten around to it yet, here is
another chance. Just mark on the check that it is for the Appeal. Thank you in
advance. May we go from strength to strength on to 120!

Note ♪ from the Cantor
By: Cantor Richard Bessman
Hi TJM Membership. The 2014-2015 school year is well underway. I thought you would like to
know that we have a few new teachers this year. Please meet:
Sue Stine (Grades 3-4). I have been involved in Jewish education my entire professional career. I
am a graduate of the joint program of Columbia University and the Jewish Theological Seminary. I have a master’s degree in Jewish education from NYU. I have worked in the supplemental religious
school world my entire career as a director of education and as a teacher. I love sharing with students all the
wonderful aspects of Judaism including Hebrew, prayer, Bible studies, Jewish history, and Israel. I love being in
a classroom teaching and interacting with students. In addition to Jewish education, I am also a sports instructor. My passions in life include teaching about all aspects of Judaism, teaching sports and teaching Jewish music. I am a big sports fan. I love music and singing. My goal this year as a teacher for the religious school is to
share with my students all the special aspects of Judaism through fun and exciting activities and lessons.
Yogev Ben-Shalom (Grades 4-5). I was born and raised in Netanya, Israel. I then joined the army and served for
three years, worked for one year following my service and decided to come to the U.S. in 2001. I began teaching
Sunday school Hebrew at Evanston Synagogue for a couple of years back in 2008 and also started Hebrew private tutoring for kids and adults. I now live in the Edgebrook neighborhood with my five-year-old daughter Mia.
My experience and love for children creates a positive learning environment in the classroom along with fun and
seriousness when needed. Aside from being a teacher, I've been working as a full-time real estate broker in the
Chicago metro area for the past nine years, love working out and swimming (swimming coach in Israel), scuba
diving, motorcycles, food, travel and life, of course. I look forward to becoming a part of Temple Judea Mizpah
and exchanging positive Hebrew and cultural experiences!
Danny Lebowitz (Grades 6-7 & Youth Director). I am from the snowy state of Minnesota, and have worked
with Jewish youth at summer camps and NFTY events for the past five years. I hold a bachelor's degree in K-12
music education, and I am currently working on a master’s degree in higher education administration at DePaul
University. My main goal for the school year is to make Jewish learning fun.
Michelle Hartmann (Substitute and School Aid). I have been working at Northwestern University for the past
three years. Working at Northwestern has helped me grow as I gain an understanding of young minds and of
their insatiable desire to learn. I have also attended religious education school from pre-k through secondary
school. After I graduated, I knew I wanted to help teach the values of the Jewish way of life to the young and to
help them enjoy learning about our culture. I am always willing to explore opportunities to celebrate and educate
our young Jewish community about their heritage. I am happy about this opportunity to help instill within our
students the values of our people.
Feel free to introduce yourselves to our new teachers; they will appreciate your warm hello. Even if you’re not
young enough for their classes, there are great adult-education choices for you on Sunday mornings, from Hebrew studies to The Jewish Lens curriculum. I think it will be an exciting year of studies at TJM, and I hope to
see you there.
~~~~
Please join us on Friday, December 12 at 7:30 pm
when our new students will be called to the bimah
to receive their Certificate of Consecration
as they begin their Jewish studies.

This Is Where I Leave You
By: Jonathan Tropper
The death of Judd Foxman's father marks the first time
that the entire Foxman clan has congregated in years.
Simultaneously mourning the demise of his father and
his marriage, Judd joins his dysfunctional family as they
reluctantly sit shiva and spend seven days and nights
under the same roof. . This Is Where I Leave You is a
riotously funny, emotionally raw novel about love, marriage, divorce, family, and the ties that bind-whether we
like it or not.
Madelyn Silverstein will be called to
the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah on Saturday, November 8, 2014 at 10:30
am. Celebrating this milestone with
her are her proud parents Toby and
Michael, sister Ryan, and her family
and friends. Madelyn enjoys volleyball, dancing, singing, climbing,
swimming, playing her trumpet, art mediums of all
kinds, and socializing with her friends. Her Bat Mitzvah
project is collecting non-perishable food items for the
Niles Food Pantry, A Just Harvest Soup Kitchen, and
the Chicagoland Ark. Madelyn said one of the most important things she learned from Hebrew School is the
importance of tzedakah - an act of goodwill and a marker of generosity. It is one of the most important obligations in Judaism.
Hannah Gutstadt will be
called to the Torah as a Bat
Mitzvah on Saturday, December 20, 2014 at 10:30 am. Celebrating this milestone with
her are her proud parents Ayala and Ken, older brother Joseph and grandparents Shelly and Joe Gutstadt and Miriam Tschernobelsky. Hannah is a 7th grade student at
Algonquin Middle School. She loves to participate in
soccer, running, dancing, and swimming. For her Bat
Mitzvah project, Hannah will be assisting the elderly at
a nursing home and helping sort food at a local food
pantry. One thing Hannah learned from her Jewish Education is that helping others is very important.
