Religious Tolerance
Isn’t Enough
BY RABBI DAN LEVIN
DLEVIN@TBEBOCA.ORG
It’s easy to get cynical about
religion. When we see how
religious differences are literally
tearing nations apart, and how
religious intolerance has resulted
in the murder of thousands and the
displacement of millions, it’s hard
not to look and wonder if religion
itself is the cause of our world’s
problems.
But something amazing has
happened in America. Unlike
societies where people fight to
establish the “one true religion,”
we have found strength in our
religious diversity. Our society
grows stronger because of the vast
array of religious paths Americans
may choose to pursue, because
the moral fabric that is woven into
religious life so deeply influences
how we treat each other. It is our
religious fabric that teaches us to
reach out to one another in crisis. It
is our religious fabric that organizes
us into communities of meaning. It
is our religious fabric that compels
us to work to build a society
Protestant Christian denominations.
Over time, as the Founding Fathers
decoupled religion from state,
America grew to embrace first
religious tolerance, then begrudging
acceptance. In his monumental
study of religious attitudes and
practice, American Grace,
Putnam notes that Americans today,
both religious and non-religious,
overwhelmingly believe that
“religious diversity has been good
for America.”
We live in an extraordinary
time and place. We still barely
comprehend the enormity of what
has happened to the Jewish people
in the last 100 years. In the face
of religious intolerance, pogroms
and persecutions, we began a mass
migration from Europe to the
shores of North America. Millions
of our people were consumed by
the fires of the holocaust. From the
pulverized rubble of Jewish life in
Europe, we began to build the State
of Israel, to bring in the exiles of
Persia, Iraq, Yemen, North Africa,
Perhaps our celebration of interfaith partnership
and dialogue will help us to grow a little less cynical as we
all seek to better understand each other, ourselves,
our lives, and our world.
rooted in justice and tempered by
compassion.
It was not always so. Robert
Putnam, the Malkin Professor of
Public Policy at Harvard University,
teaches that although the first to
colonize America came for religious
liberty, they were not always eager
to extend that liberty beyond a few
Europe, Asia, and America. And
we endeavored to push beyond
the boundaries of the Ghetto
to integrate ourselves into the
wider societies in which we found
ourselves.
But what’s even more
extraordinary is how our people’s
relationship with the world has
changed. Fifty years ago, when
the Catholic Church adopted
Nostra Aetate, the Second Vatican
Council’s revolutionary statement
on how the Church would relate
to the non-Catholic peoples of
the world, Jews and Catholics
began a new era of comity and
understanding no one could ever
have imagined given the nearly
two thousand years of animosity
and hatred that existed between
Catholics and Jews.
This year Temple Beth El and St.
Joan of Arc Catholic Church are
celebrating the thirtieth anniversary
of our shared Catholic-Jewish
dialogue and partnership. Because
of the vision of Rabbi Merle Singer,
Msgr. John McMahon, Bill Gralnick
of the American Jewish Committee
and the Catholic hierarchy in South
Florida, our two congregations
have built amazing bridges of
understanding and friendship. We

A MESSAGE FROM BARRY PODOLSKY
Temple Beth El Ranked #1
Every two years, congregations
belonging to the URJ (Union
for Reform Judaism) gather
to discuss important issues
relevant to Jewish life, study
and worship. This year the
convention was held in Orlando
and over 5,000 attended. Our
delegation of 47 volunteers,
staff & clergy was the largest
group in North America! From
Wednesday through Sunday
we attended workshops,
study groups and even fit
all 5,000 into one room to
celebrate Shabbat (with a choir
comprised of 120 cantors from
around the world).
The common theme was
“congregant engagement
through smaller groups.”
For years synagogues held
programs and counted how
many attended. The bigger
the group, the greater the
success. But today we were
encouraged to consider
an additional strategy—
programs targeted to specific
Temple Beth El President
Barry Podolsky
bmp111@aol.com
954-326-2180
groups within the Temple.
Getting to know other
congregants is much easier
in a room of 20 people than
a room of 200 people and
building community only
comes from getting to know
one another.
This doesn’t mean we will
end programs with large
attendance. Rather, we will
be adding many new events
oriented to smaller more
focused groups. We started
this year with our Adult
Experiences programming
for those in their 40’s & 50’s.
Every few weeks this group
has been receiving emails
and signing up for programs
varying from salsa dancing to
gourmet dining – always with
some Jewish component. In
the coming months and next
year, we will be expanding the
small group programming to
other focused groups. Our
goal is greater congregant
engagement. To succeed, we
will need greater volunteer
involvement to organize and
implement the increased
programming, but when
people are having fun and/or
feeling enriched, we believe
they will be willing to accept
greater involvement.
Smaller, focused groups
will mean everyone will not
be invited to everything and
most programs will fill up
fast. This is a big change for
us so please understand if we
are sold out. Our goal is small
group engagement.
You will be hearing a lot
more about this new initiative
in the coming months. I will
also be writing about other
topics from the convention,
especially the concept of
Audacious Hospitality. As
always, if you would like
to share some thoughts or
discuss Temple activities,
don’t hesitate to call or
email.

Tu BiSh’vat or the “New Year of the

Scholars believe that originally Tu
BiSh’vat was an agricultural festival.
This holiday’s tradition is to eat from
the seven species of Israel (wheat,
barley, olives, figs, grapes, dates,
pomegranates), but in modern
times has been expanded to include
many other fruits. To celebrate

Religion
in Israel
BY LOT E M E I LO N
Lotem is spending
the year at Temple
Beth El as our
Shlicha- Israel
Emissary – from the
Jewish Agency for
Israel. Feel free to
contact her with
any questions about
Israel or to invite
her for Shabbat
dinner!
leilon@tbeboca.org
Israel is the Jewish
state. Religion fits
into our lives in Israel
almost naturally
without much effort.
I don’t think I had to
“choose” to be Jewish,
it is there all the time
and everywhere. My
friends are mostly
Jewish, my education
is Jewish and my vacation
time from school and work
was on the Jewish holidays.
The groceries we bought
were always kosher, because
every public supermarket
is basically a kosher
supermarket. Most importantly – our
weekend, our resting day
is Shabbat (Saturday.)
Having a resting day is a
social right. It starts Friday
afternoon when stores start
closing. On Friday, people
everywhere will greet you
with a “Shabbat Shalom.”
Everybody takes one step
back for the weekend and
rests, and you can really feel
it in the air. My family might
not have a regular Kiddush
on Shabbat, but there is
always a family dinner.
Shabbat is represented in my
mind as family time. A time
to go visit my grandparents,
to sit and eat all together as
a family, to see my friends
and relax from the long
week. Shabbat became most
meaningful to me during my
army service. Coming back
home for the Shabbat
was about having a
break; family, home
cooked meals and rest for the short time of
Shabbat before going
back to the base.
Any Israeli you’ll
ask will have a
different answer for
the question: “what
is religion in Israel?”
and it might be one of
the biggest arguments
among Israeli society.
But to all of them, the
Jewish state is home.

stand on the shoulders of these
extraordinary leaders who helped
Msgr. McGraw and myself to build
on the foundation they have laid
for us.
What have we gained from
thirty years of workshops in which
Jewish and Catholic teachers
collaborate on lesson plans that
reflect on a mutual theme from
our different faiths? What have
we learned from thirty years of
lessons shared by the leading
Catholic minds of our time from
Temple Beth El’s bima?
We have learned that there
is so much more that unites us
than divides us. We have learned
that delving into our respective
faith traditions makes us all more
understanding and wise. We have
learned that, as Robert Putnam
teaches, “America solved the
puzzle of religious pluralism …
by creating a web of interlocking
personal relationships among
people of … different faiths.”
In celebration of this milestone
anniversary, we are thrilled to
welcome Robert Putnam to share
with us in our Spirituality Series
on Tuesday evening January 12
at 7:00 pm at Temple Beth El
Schaefer Family Campus. Don’t
miss this incredible opportunity
to hear from one of the most
engaging and captivating speakers
and scholars of religious life in
America. And please mark your
calendars for the last weekend in
January for our 30th Interfaith
weekend with St. Joan of Arc.
Perhaps our celebration of
interfaith partnership and dialogue
will help us to grow a little less
cynical as we all seek to better
understand each other, ourselves,
our lives, and our world.

Jewish Values
in the Classroom
We all want to raise our children to be good
people. Jewish values can offer practical and
simple ways for young children to feel they
have the ability to impact the world around
them. The meaning of “mitzvot” is good deeds.
A mitzvah is also something that guides our
behavior. Young children can learn how to be
kind, caring and act with integrity. How we
treat a small caterpillar or a classroom pet fish,
teaches children respect for all living things.
Selecting a child’s name from The

maimonides institu te for jewish learning
Can you get your
religion at the gym?
M A R C Y S C H U LTZ
Marcy Schultz
Associate Director of Jewish
Living and Learning
mschultz@tbeboca.org
In a world where people “feed their souls”
at the gym, a local Starbucks or even their
country club, many people ask themselves:
"Why should we invest time and energy into
Judaism and Jewish experiences? Is religion
important to me and my family?"
Judaism gives us a roadmap of how to live,
including values to incorporate into every
day. Giving charity to those less fortunate—
tzedakah, leaving the world a better place
than you found it—tikkun olam and treating
others with kindness—gemilut chasadim are
all important acts—mitzvot that have their
foundation in Judaism.
Without even realizing it, children learn Jewish
values in social outings with their friends in our
youth groups which span kindergarten through
12th grade. In fun settings like laser tag or
teen travel, our students learn to build a holy
community—Kehillah Kedosha. This community
accepts others for their similarities and
differences, treats each other with respect and
creates an extraordinarily strong social network
which will be with them their whole lives.
Judaism is practiced not only at the
synagogue but also in the home. When
families create an environment to encourage
the importance of being Jewish, of living the
Mitzvot and finding the beauty and meaning
that Judaism holds, together we raise a
generation who will continue the Jewish values
that we hold so dear.
MITZVAH PROJECTS
JUSTIN HOCK
AND SAM FORSTOT
On Saturday, November 14 Sam Forstot and Justin Hock
teamed up to do some good. They organized a basketball
free-throw contest during the Boca Hoops Finals, to benefit
two important organizations they hold near and dear.
“Cancer has touched both of our hearts with a number of
loving family members affected. Since basketball is part of
who we are and is such a big part of our lives, we wanted to
incorporate this into our Mitzvah Project.” The High 5 Division
of Boca Hoops is an unbelievable organization that allows
children and young adults with disabilities, either mental or
physical, to participate in the game of basketball. In addition
to basketball skills, they also learn about sportsmanship and
teamwork. Kids, coaches and even some parents came out
to “Shoot to Make a Difference” and made donations in order
to participate. The contest raised $800.00 and received an
additional donation
from Boca Hoops as
well! It was truly a
day of good deeds
and giving! 16

long-term memory, renew a sense of identity and
improve mood, cognition and socialization. MorseLife’s Music and Memory Program is now

THE CHRONICLE
| tbeboca.org
“What is religion for?” is the theme of this month’s Chronicle. Having recently spent
a long weekend with 5000 Reform Jews, I think I have the answer. Religion is for
community. Of course, most religious people pray and perhaps attend religious services,
but after spending time in Orlando at the URJ Biennial I can say with confidence that
we need community. Our Jewish community is incredibly powerful, both locally and
around the world. What we all learned at the Biennial is that, as a community, our URJ
community has a voice. Both the URJ and the WRJ spent quite a bit of time discussing
and passing resolutions regarding a variety of very important and quite daring topics.
The URJ passed the most comprehensive inclusion and non-discrimination resolution
with regards to transgender people. The WRJ passed resolutions to be a force in both
the parental leave rights movement and the anti-texting while driving movement. All of
these resolutions involve the community. Praying with 5000 Reform Jews for Shabbat
was a communal experience unlike any other I have experienced. Temple Beth El had
the largest delegation of ANY temple there. What a beautiful community we have! In late
November and early December, Sisterhood held two amazing programs. Bingotini and
our Woman of Valor luncheon were extremely well attended with well over 150 people
attending each. People were there to support our community. We need community now
more than ever. Join us at Sisterhood events and be a part of our community!

It’s been five months since we both accepted the leadership roles as copresidents of Temple Beth El Brotherhood. When we started there was
trepidation and anxiety. We both have numerous other responsibilities in work,
family and other personal interests and endeavors. The questions in our minds
were daunting. Would the other men of Temple Beth El follow our leadership?
Could we command respect while still respecting the opinions of others?
Could we fulfill our obligations to the Temple without messing up? Would
there be enough spare cash in our budget to pay for the pizza we order at every
board meeting? Maybe that’s what religion is for. To relieve the anxiety of the
unknown. To provide the reason for faith in yourself and that all things will
work out if you are righteous and holy.
So Hallelujah! We must have found some old time religion because
Brotherhood, and the two of us, are happy to report we’re managing just fine.
This year we have had the re-introduction of Brotherhood Networking and
our first Family Movie Night under the stars at the Beck Family Campus. Both
events were overwhelming successes and have left Temple Beth El asking for
more. We will be happy to oblige. Our Annual Golf Event honored Bob Marton
this year and we set new records in attendance, and money raised which will
go to support the Temple Beth El community and in part the Bet Elazraki
Children’s Home in Israel.
Upcoming in the new year we are happy to be co-sponsoring with Sisterhood
the Temple Beth El premier of Above and Beyond. This event will be Sunday,
January 17 at the Schaefer Campus. There will be a discussion with the film’s
director Nancy Spielberg during a brunch, followed by the movie screening
later in the evening. February features Super Bowl Shizzel on February 7,
2016 at Beck Family Campus. Starting just after noontime you can spend some
time playing with the pigskin and participating in fun football contests with
your young children. Lunch will be served.
You can find more information about upcoming Brotherhood activities in our
Brotherhood brochures. They are located in the lobbies of Schaefer and Beck
Family Campuses.

As a woman, you play many roles for the people who are
most important to you and, by choice or circumstance;
wealth manager may be in your repertoire. In fact, in one
out of four U.S. households with a net worth of $1 million
or more, a woman is calling the shots when it comes to
investing and spending money.1
Since your wealth touches many lives in many ways,
it’s vital to get advice from a reliable source. At Morgan
Stanley, you can expect to work with a Financial Advisor
who invests time in understanding your specific situation
and has the experience and resources needed to help you
prepare for the future.
