Dear Friends,
In Psalm 19 it says:
“With honey from the
rock will I satisfy you.”
This text is connected
to Rosh HaShanah
Rabbi Zimmerman through the tradition of
eating apples and honey or dipping challah
in honey for a sweet new year. These words
especially speak to us this year. When you
come to Temple for the High Holy Days,
our old education building will be coming
down, and construction of our new building
and lobby will have begun. There will be
many rocks in the form of concrete rubble
all around. Yet the vision of a new education
center for 21st-century Jewish learning
is surely the promise of “honey from the
rock”—the image the psalmists so beautifully
created in words.
This school year 5776 our ECC and
Religious and Hebrew School programs
will take place off site. We will return to
our renovated and reconstructed home in
the fall of 5777, and what a sweet reunion
it will be!
We ask for everyone’s patience and
understanding during construction. We can
teach great things to our children throughout
this year. We are not called The Wandering
People for nothing! In the coming months,
we will experience the incredible, satisfying
progress of fulfilling our vision for the
future, and we will learn the power of L’Dor
Vador, “from generation to generation,” as
a timeless value. With this renovation and
reconstruction project, how we teach and
communicate that value, and other Jewish
values like it, will get a 21st-century upgrade.
You will notice that other updates are
also taking place at Temple. We hope you
have had the chance to explore our newlyredesigned website, which features our new
logo. The new logo also appears as part of the
new cover design of Hakol. The logo, a Star
of David made up of layers of vibrant color,
suggests movement and vitality, and reflects
Temple’s identity as a place of progress,
reform, and vibrancy. In the coming months,
we will use this symbol in various ways on
many of our communications with you.
This September we set in motion much
that will be new, even as we hold fast to
the traditions that sustain us from year to
year. For example, on the first day of Jewish
learning, there is a tradition of spreading
honey on the top of a student’s book for him
or her to lick off as they turn each page—
to make learning sweet and strong enough
to stick. Change is difficult, but it can
teach our children—and us—the strength
of cooperation, the patience of planning
for a better future, and the knowledge that
being a community is truly where our hearts
reside.
The boulders that greet you this year
will give way to classroom walls and lobby
windows by next Rosh HaShanah, and in
these new spaces the sweetness of Jewish
learning will give new meaning to the
psalmist’s promise of “honey from the rock.”
L’Shanah Tovah,
Rabbi Marcia A. Zimmerman
Alvin & June Perlman Senior Rabbinic Chair

High Holy Days Construction Update
Answers to Some Frequently-Asked Questions
How will we enter the building
during construction?
The main entrance to Temple Israel for the High Holy
Days will be the Emerson Avenue entrance (up the
beautiful stairs leading into the sanctuary).
•
How will the construction affect parking?
•
Free valet parking will be available. The Temple parking
lot will be reserved for valet-parked cars only.
•
If you do not plan to use the free valet, please plan to
park on the street.
•
The alternative accessible ramp entrance for those with
mobility concerns will be located in the alley, across the
street from Caribou Coffee.
•
•
The Fremont (parking lot) entrance and portico will not
be available for use.
To access the valet service, please drive south on Emerson
Avenue from 22nd Street, and turn right into the alley.
The other entrances to the parking lot will be closed.
•
In order to maximize parking space in the Temple lot
during construction, the valet service will be parking cars
in a different pattern than usual. For this reason, only
valets will park cars in the Temple lot—no one will park
their own car.
•
If you have mobility concerns and would like to be
dropped off, please use the alley entrance. Your family
can drop you off at this entrance and then park on the
street, or the valet can park your car for you in the
Temple Israel lot.
•
Limited shuttle service will be available; locations and
details will arrive in the mail and be viewable on our
website.
How can I watch the livestream of the
services if I am unable to come to Temple?
To watch the video broadcast of High Holy Days services,
please go to www.templeisrael.com and click the box that
says, “View Our High Holy Days Services.” For a list of
which services will be broadcast, please see page 3.
Temple clergy and staff are planning every detail to ensure that your
High Holy Days experience is as peaceful, worshipful and stress-free as possible.
Please call us with your questions or concerns: (612) 377-8680.

We come to Ne’ilah with our final pleas for forgiveness from
God and gather communal strength to embrace the year ahead.
Our Nefesh Ne’ilah features Temple’s innovation of “handsfree” visual Shabbat. The prayers and songs, accompanied by
our Nefesh band, enhance breathtaking photography projected
onto the walls of the bimah and bring harmony and fellowship
to our beautiful closing worship experience, Havdalah, and
the conclusion of our fast. Please remain in the sanctuary after
Yizkor for a lovely finale to Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the
Jewish year.
We will also celebrate the theme of birth and renewal with

Thank you from Mary Neuman
Dear Students,
I am the Holocaust survivor
who spoke to the
graduation students about
my unbelievable survival.
I must tell you how
impressed I was with my
young audience’s reaction,
their total attention,
appreciation, and respect
for me, the speaker.
After each presentation,
I received beautifully written
and crafted thank-you cards.
These listeners deserve a
thanks from me!

To speak on this subject reminds me again and again about my
painful life, but I do believe it must be told, especially to young
people. You will, in turn, keep the memories alive so it never will
happen again.
Mary Neuman
You have shown much understanding and compassion, so keep
the torch going.
Many thanks to you, and to your parents for raising such fine young people. Thank you,
too, to the teachers who stood behind you, helping you understand. Above all, thanks to our
clergy who support necessary programs to help us all grow and learn.
