How long do you want to carry your anger? How long do you want to deny the beauty of giving, loving and caring? Just the other day I found myself asking the same question. I had been angry with this person for 48 years. It all began when I was a teenager and she entered my life. Over the years, I analyzed my anger, admitted that her actions, which hurt me, had some legitimacy, but I still couldn’t let go. And, as the years went by, she still continued on her hurtful path; so much so that I stopped giving her the courtesy or benefit of the doubt I give our seniors when their actions are very “politically incorrect.” Then one day she seemed a bit different. Her conversation was a bit more pleasant, she even asked how the family and especially, how Rakeli was doing. Then, miracle of miracles, she asked, how was I doing? It stopped me in my conversational tracks. I didn’t know what to say, so I told her you all were great and we were getting ready for holidays. Now, I am not sure what to do. Part of me wants to still be angry. Part of me wants to hold on. Not because she has not changed; but because now I have to treat her with love and caring and give of me to her. Have you ever been afraid to be vulnerable to someone? Well now, even me. Well you know, it feels good to give, it feels good to PARKING INFORMATION—Page 13 Sept. 6 - 7:00 PM Family Service (No pizza, returns next month) Sept. 8 - 9:00 AM Religious School instruction begins Sept. 15 - 9:00 AM Religious School Parents Association Meeting Sept. 20 - Shabbat Sukkot 6:00 PM “Pizza in the Hut Dinner 7:30 PM Shabbat Services in the Sukkah Sept. 22 - 9:30 AM Men’s Club Brunch and Meeting Sept. 26 10:00 AM Shemini Atzeret (Last day of Sukkot) Yizkor Service 7:30 PM Simcha Torah (Continued on page 4) Organization—Page 2 President’s Message—Page 3 Clubs/Groups—Pages 6&7 Yahrzeits—Page 10 Temple Beth Emet (house of truth) ORGANIZATION Religious Leadership Rabbi Mark H.

Hadn’t Abraham already proven his commitment to and acceptance of God? Not too many pages earlier, didn’t Abraham leave his home to go to “the land that I will show you” sight unseen? Hadn’t he been obeying God’s instructions? Sure, he tried unsuccessfully to bargain with God regarding the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, but in the end he submitted to God’s judgment. As we enter the High Holidays, “we stand on the shoulders of giants.” We stand on the shoulders of those who said “Here am I” when asked “Who will help build this Temple Beth Emet?” Ten families with a vision in 1958. Members with hammers and saws who turned a house on Magnolia Boulevard into a synagogue. People This applies to belonging to a community like who gave of their time, their talents, and their Temple Beth Emet. We make a commitment to fortunes over the years. Their spirits call to us our Jewish community when we join the Temple, “Who will keep Temple Beth Emet going? Who when we pay our dues, and when we put our kids will care for the Temple Beth Emet Family?” through religious school, but we get a lot of Will each of us answer “Here am I”? Will we other calls, and are we willing to answer “Here meet the test? am I?” The calls come -- we need help with fixing things in the building. Will you say “Here A new year is before us. In 5774 may we answer am I?” We need people to help with the the call, may we all say “Here am I.” Hanukkah party. Will you say “Here am I”? We need someone to be a committee chair, we need On behalf of the Temple administration as well people to come to a service, we need donations as my family and myself, I wish you “l'shanah for a silent auction, we need people to write an tovah tikatevu,” may it be a good and sweet year extra check to help keep the doors open. Will for all of us. you say “Here am I”? Will you reaffirm your commitment to our Temple Family? -- IRA L. GOLDSTEIN, President Some commentaries I have read suggest that an all-knowing God doesn’t need to test our faith, but we need to test ourselves. I think the point is that we are never done showing our commitment to God. When God keeps calling us, we have to keep answering “Here am I.” www.TempleBethEmet.com Office@TempleBethEmet.com 818-843-4787 Page 3 Rabbi’s Column (cont.) (Continued from page 1) help her, and it empowers me. Most importantly, I can increase my love quotient. I believe you go on a diet to reduce your fat percentage, because it interferes with your health. In this case, you add to your love percentage to increase your spiritual health. Now, like all diets, things must be done in moderation. Give love moderately, but give. As I wrote this last sentence, I realized fear is entering into my actions. What’s the worst that can happen? She’ll go back to being her old self. Well, I lived with that for 50 years, I can live with it for another 50 years. On the other hand, look at the potential to enter new areas of spirituality. Now that I can get beyond the anger, I can see her life with my father from her point of view. I can ask the questions I never cared to ask before. How did I hurt her feelings? For 48 years she had no feelings as far as I was concerned. Now she is another senior member Remember the sick and bereaved with cards, calls, and visits. They help heal and comfort. We wish them a r’fuah shl’eimah, whole recovery to good health. Please call John Eisenger at (818) 842-5439 if a Temple member is sick or hospitalized. of the family to be respected, honored and loved. There is the problem, though, now I will have to examine my former actions and I will probably find then less than perfect. What a great month to begin this! Welcome to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. This is the meaning of being one with G-d, (Atone), being able to forgive and love. Moving on is not enough. I moved beyond my anger, but I refused to do anything for the person. Now, I ascend to a higher place by inviting, no welcoming, her into my heart and if I can do that with her, I can do that with anyone. I look forward to the ascent; I hope you will join me on the “spiritual escalator” of atonement. Shana Tovau’Metuka B’ahava, Rabbi Mark The RELIGIOUS SCHOOL PARENTS ASSOCIATION would like to welcome all Religious School students and parents to the 2013/14 Religious School Year and to let all parents know about the first RSPA Meeting of the year which will be held on Sunday, September 15th at 9:00 AM. Parents are urged to attend this brief meeting and learn about the various ways in which they can become involved in their child’s religious school education. Topics to be discussed will include this year’s changes to the Parents Association, the schedule of future meetings, and parental involvement in the upcoming schedule of holiday events. We hope all parents can attend. David Goldstein, President RSPA Page 4 www.TempleBethEmet.com Office@TempleBethEmet.com 818-843-4787 RSPA Announcements Jerry Engleberg’s Corner JERRY ENGLEBERG’S CORNER I am sorry I have to complain again, BUT, our temple needs volunteers to be at bar/bat mitzvahs to present the gifts to the recipients. This is the responsibility of the Men’s Club, The Temple Board, and (not only) The Sisterhood. It is time to step up and do your part. If you didn’t go to The Sisterhood Ice Cream Social, you missed a great event! All proceeds (after expenses) went to a fund set aside to purchase/repair our temple air conditioner. If you missed the Ice Cream Social, and still would like to make a donation to the air conditioning fund, mail or bring in your check (made out to Temple Beth Emet Sisterhood and mark in the lower left blank “Air Conditioning Fund.”) Let’s keep our temple cool and comfortable. Religious School is starting. Have you registered? Do you know someone who needs or wants a Jewish education for themselves or their children? Tell them about our school. We need volunteers to move and help set up for Rosh Hashanah services at “Temple St. Jude’s.” After the High Holiday Services, we will need to take down our High Holiday items and put them in storage. PLEASE contact the temple office if you can help. We are short-handed. It doesn’t take long, if we have 4 or 5 good people to help. We hope to move September 1st to “Temple St. Jude’s” at St. Jude’s Anglican Church. We will be needing a few good people to put up palm fronds for our sukkah for Sukkoth. That will be the week after Yom Kippur. It should be constructed by Wednesday, September 18th. DON’T FORGET FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICES Pizza Night begins again soon! This has been a success and YOU don’t want to miss out! It will be better than ever! We want to thank our supporters and community at Temple Beth Emet for the contribution that made our trip to Israel for the 19th Maccabiah Games possible. It truly was a once-in-alifetime opportunity. We not only had a great time playing baseball & bonding with our team-mates, we experienced the amazing sights & tastes all throughout Israel, met & visited with our Israeli family, made new friends from around the country & world, and of course, loved winning the gold!!

On August 4th we met in Blum Hall at noon to setup for the Ice Cream Social. To our delight we saw that Stacie Barlow had arrived earlier and setup a beautiful, magnificent serving table. We continued with the job and soon the bingo game table was setup and a long table for the Honey Bear Boxes and other items was also ready. Before we knew it, we were ready and had time for our business meeting. Our treasurer, Jodi Gross, informed us that we had a donation from LaVerne and Bob Cohen in memory of Eugene Abrams, Steve Abrams’ father. We are grateful when someone chooses to donate to us! When our meeting was finished, people started to arrive and the Ice Cream Social began. The ice cream and toppings seemed endless. Children and adults went back for refills, and still we didn’t run out! There were baskets of games for those who wished to play them. Tracy Hyman and daughter Emily brought a “tattoo” set and a few children chose to be “inked” with a cute design that, of course, washed off. The price of admission included a bingo card and the bingo game started. Stacy Barlow and Shirley Abramson Happy September Anniversaries Gail & Joseph Arce Elaine & Scott Fishman Marla & Bert Goldberg Wes & Trisha Paster www.TempleBethEmet.com did the calling and they made it fun for everyone. There were so many nice prizes from The Sisterhood Gift Shoppe that almost everyone won something. The Rosh Hashanah Honey Bear Boxes and some items from the Gift Shoppe were sold and before we knew it, it was time for our guests to go home. As far as I could see, everyone left happy and in a little while the cleanup was complete. Since so much of the ice cream and toppings were donated to us by The Men’s Club, most of the money we collected is now in the Air Conditioning Fund that Sisterhood has set up. We took in $490, expenses were $60, so $430 went into the Air Conditioning Fund. Thank You to everyone who helped!! This, and the sale of honey bears pretty much concludes our money making activities for this year. Now we turn our attention to electing (or re-electing) officers for the coming year. It is time to collect dues for the New Year. We invite all temple women and interested men to join us even if you cannot attend meetings. Our dues of $18 is the “seed money” that we use to create events with which we then raise more money for our temple In addition to continuing with the events that took place this year, we are looking forward to an educational series led by Rebbetzin Mina Sobel on Jewish Women’s Folklore. This will occur on Sundays while religious school is still in session so parents can participate. Details later. Also, we need to increase the number of people who buy food, serve and help with Oneg Shabbats. We also need people to help with Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. We need to increase the number of people who work with the Gift Shoppe. There are many tasks waiting for the right people. Won’t you please join us? Our next meeting is Sunday, September 1st, 10 am. Refreshments will be served. See you there! Shalom, Ruth Glick, VP Back again, by popular demand!!
