temple Beth SHolom
ELU V’ELU
Rabbi Gary Glickstein
In Miami Beach, around the year 1950, an Orthodox
Jewish family moved in down the street from Temple Beth
Sholom. The family included a young boy who quickly
became friends with the neighbor’s daughter. She was a
student at our Religious School and she asked him to
come to Temple with her to attend a service. On returning
home, the boy was asked by his mother what he thought
of the “strange” synagogue. He reported that he “liked
the book and the music a lot but the commercial was too
long.” Just for your information, all of your rabbis are
diligently working on their “commercials,” so that they are
just the right length, especially during the High Holy Days.
In time, as women were ordained as rabbis and cantors,
even these new books no longer reflected the sensitivities
of an ever-changing Jewish world. During the last few
years, we have replaced our Shabbat prayer book with
Mishkan Tefilah and now we have its High Holy Days
companion, Mishkan HaNefesh.
However, you now are aware that we have a new High
Holy Days prayer book, Mishkan HaNefesh. I have been
asked a number of times to explain why we changed
books. This is an answer.
There are always some who long for the past, the familiar,
the books and prayers of their youth. That is true of the
words and the music as well as the rituals. However,
the Reform Movement is mandated to continue to
progressively reform and renew the past, so that the
future can embrace those who will eventually lead us.
The book the young boy saw at Temple Beth Sholom in
1950 was the Union Prayer Book. That book and its
companion for the High Holy Days, the Union Prayer
Book II, were the same prayer books I learned to use in
Rabbinical School in the 1970s. However, by then, most
American Jews had grown distant from the “thou” and
“shalt” language and were seeking a new translation to
which they could relate. Furthermore, a number of
Reform Jews had been rediscovering traditions that
past generations had discarded.
When Joanie and I decided to adopt kashrut in our eating
habits, we were among a small minority of Rabbinical
students. Reform Rabbis were rediscovering ritual items
like the tallit, along with many Hebrew prayers that the
older Reform prayer books had edited out of the service.
A new prayer book was needed to reflect the times. The
Gates of Prayer and its High Holy Days companion, the
Gates of Repentance, followed soon after.
The Hebrew text is enriched and enhanced by
recapturing many beautiful prayers that had already
begun to enter our services over the years. The English
readings now reflect our times and the ways in which
many of us view the world.
The truth is, the Jewish People have been innovating our
prayer services, books, music and rituals throughout our
long history. Our flexibility and willingness to experiment
have been the hallmarks of our survival throughout the
ages and the source of our strength in the Modern Era.
Your Clergy Team is excited and stimulated by the new
prayer book we have acquired. We look forward to sharing
it with you over these next many years.
Shana Tova/G’Mar Tov - May you and all those you
love be written and sealed in the Book of Life for a
good New Year.
Our Mission
Temple Beth Sholom will affect Jewish lives in a positive way.
We will foster and promote Jewish continuity through
our spiritual, religious, and textual value system.
We will create a sense of community among our members. We will achieve the highest quality,
in all that we do, while focusing on the lives of our members and their families.

High Holy Days Reimagined
Service Descriptions
Thoughts from the President
Jack Karson, President
As you read these comments, we will be embarking on you and your
family’s participation in the reengineering of our High Holy Days.
While we have worked diligently to make sure the congregation
understands the schedule, the changes and the nuances of our new
holiday experience, I believe we must keep all of these changes in
perspective. As I have told all of you before, my family dynamic has
changed significantly. During the holidays, I always looked forward to
celebrating, eating and praying together. Now our family has spread
out. For these holidays, the year 5776, we will not be together. For
years, we would all come to Temple together. The boys would finally
graduate to the sanctuary where they would sit with Arden and me.
We would look for Lily on the bima with all the other children that
would come up during the shofar service. I will admit, we would
wave even though she would say she could never find us. This year,
Jared will be in New York and Micah will be at the University of
Michigan. Their work and studies will prevent them from joining us.
While Lily will be with us, she will be experiencing some of the new
programs that we are offering to our teens during this reengineering
time. We will not all be together for Yizkor to honor my Mother. Our
family dynamic has changed. Our Temple dynamic has changed.
As I explained last month, the changes are a result of feedback from
you and your fellow congregants. The choices of services, clergy
and locations were all developed with you in mind. In fact, we are
maintaining many old traditions and creating new ones.
As Jews, we love to talk (notice, I did not use the word “Kvetch”). This
year, let’s talk about the new dynamics and how these changes will
be what sustains our beloved temple for many years to come. Let’s
embrace the “ruach” and all that out temple has to offer.
On a separate note, I must thank all of our board members for serving
as we focus on the business of the Temple. This year, our focus will be
on completing our strategic plan; introducing the Legacy Endowment
campaign to our congregation; and working to complete the
Education transitions in the Rabbi Kronish School of Living Judaism.
Also, thank you to all of our volunteers that have supported our efforts.
Happy New Year!
L’Shana Tovah Tikatayvu.
Shalom!
Jack
The Family Service for Erev Rosh HaShanah and Kol
Nidre is not changing. This service is for families with
children of elementary school age and younger.
The Evening Service for Erev Rosh HaShanah and
Kol Nidre is using the new prayer book, Mishkan
HaNefesh.
The Unplugged Service on both Rosh HaShanah
and Yom Kippur mornings is in the Sanctuary, where
seating is open to all. Rabbi Gayle Pomerantz and
Cantor Lisa Segal will utilize the talents and energy of
our congregants to create an uplifting, engaging,
interactive, and innovative spiritual experience.
The Chapel Service is on both Rosh HaShanah and
Yom Kippur mornings. Using the new prayer book,
Mishkan HaNefesh, Rabbi Gary Glickstein and Cantor
Steven Haas will conduct a service with musical
settings and arrangements reflecting the historical
roots of our congregation. (Seating is limited.)
Morning Study on Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur
mornings will deal with the themes of repentance,
forgiveness, and change. The participatory, informal,
and text based discussions will be led by Rabbi Davis.
The Main Sanctuary Service is on both Rosh
HaShanah and Yom Kippur. Rabbis Glickstein, Davis
and Pomerantz and Cantors Segal and Haas will
conduct a service using our new prayer book, Mishkan
HaNefesh. Experience long-standing Temple Beth
Sholom traditions and new musical settings with
creative experiences designed to energize the High
Holy Days. (Seating is open to all.)
The Youth Experience (K-6) parallels the Unplugged
and Main Sanctuary Services on both Rosh HaShanah
and Yom Kippur. Our youth will experience interactive
and dynamic High Holy Days services with music,
holiday-related activities and a special time to bond
with their peers.
The Teen Service (Post B’nei Mitzvah and older) is
on both Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. Our teens
will partake in an inspiring and interactive service
designed just for their age group, in order to
individually reflect on their accomplishments and
challenges, and plan their new beginnings together.
The Healing Service on Yom Kippur is in the
Sanctuary. This service provides an opportunity for
reflection, song and prayers for all those who are in
need of physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
Congregants are invited to stand in front of the ark
for a special prayer of healing and hope.
The Childrens’ Services (K and younger) are held on
Rosh HaShanah, in the Sanctuary (featuring the TBS
Teen Band), and on Yom Kippur in the Chapel (Beit
Hannah).
The Yom Kippur Afternoon/Torah/ Yizkor/Neilah
Services are in the Sanctuary. The Torah Service
includes the teens who will talk about their
experiences in Israel this summer, as well as our
annual Israel Bond appeal.

For the first time ever, our High Holy Days Unplugged Services will take place
in the Main Sanctuary, giving many more congregants the opportunity to
experience the energy and spirituality of this special worship experience. You
may even want to attend our Unplugged Service at 8:45 am. AND also our
regular High Holy Days Service, which begins this year at 11:45 am
One of the many things that make the Unplugged Service unique is the way
the talents of our congregants are part of the fabric of the service, truly
creating a communal experience.
People who have attended in past years have said the following:
“I am still basking in the glow of the High Holy Days. Your Unplugged Services
were simply exquisite. The individual stories from congregants were inspiring
and beautiful. All of the chanters, musicians, singers and participants were
outstanding–each in their own way…You orchestrated such a spiritual,
uplifting, loving experience for all of us and we are so grateful.”
- Suzanne Meltzer
“I feel as though I have been on such a journey these past 24 hours. You
provoked thought and opened my heart to feeling worship in a whole new
way. The service felt relevant, intimate and deeply personal.”
- Cathy Fetell
“A note to thank you for an extraordinarily meaningful (and enjoyable) a
service as any of us has ever attended! It was the topic of conversation at
length last evening among Wendy, Zach, Dylan and me. If lifting up your
congregation is your mostimportant goal, you have CERTAINLY succeeded. “
- Carl Roston
“It is said that one can’t be Jewish alone. Rabbi Pomerantz brings together
individuals and creates a truly sacred space to pray as a community. Every
year we are humbled by members of our community who share their personal
struggles and triumphs. Every year we are lifted and moved by Cantor Segal’s
careful curation of traditional prayers and contemporary music. And each
year we feel renewed and reconnected to ourselves, our family and our
community.”
- Heidi and John Cooper
“I just wanted to drop you a note about how much we enjoyed your
thoughtful, though-provoking and meaningful ‘alternative’ service yesterday
morning….I cried, laughed and most importantly, truly thought about my past
year and the year(s) to come. Not only was each speaker inspiring, but it is
also so nice to know a little bit more about how others find meaning in their
respective lives – a question I grapple with always. I have been on a little
‘high’ since yesterday.”
- Tiffany Hurwitz
“Our family of five has attended each of the Unplugged Services since they
started. One time, we even sat on the floor when no seats were available.
Each of us enjoys it on our own level. And we are all drawn in to something
different: the live music, singing, personal stories and of course our amazing
clergy. The Unplugged Service invites us to connect not only with our
synagogue, but also with each other and our fellow congregants, and on
a much more personal level.”
- The Bast Family
Please remember this service will begin promptly at 8:45 am. In order to preserve the
intimacy and sanctity of this service, latecomers will be asked to wait patiently for
specific times when the ushers will allow entrance into the Sanctuary.

Foundation School News
Margie Zeskind
Director of Early Childhood
Dear Families,
I am excited to share a letter written by our Bereshit Art Studio Lead Teacher, Ms. Liset
Leyva. Following our special Temple Beth Sholom Art Camp this summer, Liset
eagerly wrote a letter that she wanted to share with our community. The photographs
were graciously taken by one of our Temple Beth Sholom members, Jonathan
Hofman.
Enjoy!
Margie
RIght: he Art Room
Dear Families,
With the advent of our newly designed Bereshit Art Studio, many
new possibilities for creative expression have opened up. Prior to
the Art Room restructuring, one of our hopeful projections was
the addition of a specialized Art Camp for young children as part
of the already existing Temple Beth Sholom Summer Camp program. The original intent to hold camp in the studio in the summer of 2014 was delayed, since its refurbishing was not complete
until the end of the summer of 2014. Ms. Monda Gejka
graciously conducted a prototype mini art camp in 2014 while I,
in the role of Studio Lead Teacher, worked to
pattern the space after the Biblical Seven Days of Creation. This
led to the renaming of the Art Room to the Bereshit Studio.
Finally, this summer, together with the help of my assistant camp
art teacher Ruth Stein, the official first summer specialty “Art
Camp” took place and it proved to be an absolute success. Art
Camp culminated in a mini Gallery Expo morning where five
weeks of children’s artwork was on display for all to see!
Sholom Art Camp can boast being one of the few to be operated
by a professional staff in a “State of the Art” environment, where
the young child and the internal workings of his/her mind are at
its core of practice.
In closing, I want to share a comment from the parents of one of
my campers that sums it all up perfectly! “The amazing creativity
and hands on experience has been filled with a world of color and
art!! OMG my daughter couldn’t get enough!! The dirtier she got,
the more fun she had! Great Art Camp!” Great Counselors Ms.
Liset & Ms. Ruth and the Greatest Friends!!
Thank you, Michelle & Sydney Kane
It was such a beautiful time and I look forward to many more
inspiring days to come in the Studio during the school year in
both the Foundation School and After School Enrichment
programs. Stop by the office and register for our amazing After
School Art classes!
Professionally,
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts and I have over ten years of
experience organically working with young children in a
constructivist approach within the Foundation School. The
Foundation School is inspired by the Reggio Emilia Philosophy
practices, which are steeped in languages of expression. This
outstanding combination enabled me to envision projects that
were not only fun and aesthetically beautiful, but also engaging,
meaningful and age appropriate. The campers’ artistic exploration
ranged from, but was not limited to, photography of liquid art to
making actual lamps that worked! It was amazing to see each of
the young artist’s excitement during the Gallery Expo. What was
equally gratifying was their ability to eloquently articulate to the
guests the “how” behind the process of each of their created
masterpieces. While there may be many art programs offered in
and outside of our Miami Beach Community, our Temple Beth

THE TRIBE
Shana Tova Tribesters!
What a great summer we had here in 2015/5775!
We are fresh off the heels of our First Annual Pool
in Elul at Thompson Miami Beach. Scores of
Young Professional Jews gathered for a Shabbat
afternoon of refreshing drinks in one of the most
scenic pool spaces that Miami Beach has to
offer. We’re excited to continue this annual tradition
in the future...
We also held true to our monthly Shabbat dinners and volunteering at the
Children’s Home Society, both of which are continually gaining momentum
and devoted attendees!
Looking ahead, we have our annual High Holy Days Experience on Erev
Rosh HaShanah, September 13, and Erev Yom Kippur, September 22.
Once again, our spiritual leaders will be TBSMB’s very own Rabbi Amy
Morrison alongside Cantor Marcos Askenazi, generously on loan from
Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center. We will be using Rabbi Morrison’s very
own machzor, Hineni, which is available for purchase for $10.
Tribesters Engage in an arts and crafts
project with Children at the
Children's Home Society
This year we are excited to be hosted by Temple Beth Sholom. All Jewish
Young Professionals are welcome to join us for one or both of these
musical, technology-infused experiences of teshuvah in the Chapel.
Services begin at 8:30 pm. On Rosh HaShanah there will be a cocktail
hour at 7:30 pm, followed by the service and concluding with refreshments
and light bites.
To register and/or to purchase your copy of Hineni, please visit
www.thetribe.org.
May you have a sweet and meaningful New Year.

Legacy Endowment

Director of Advancement
Five Legacy Myth Busters
As many of you know, we are officially rolling out and
launching the Legacy Endowment Campaign this fall.
As the New Year is upon us, I want to take this
opportunity to dispel some common myths about
legacy giving.
Fact: For over 70 years, our members have worked
meticulously to build a strong Temple. Our collective responsibility is to plant seeds for future generations, so
that they may enjoy this space and place that we
worked so hard to create.
Myth #1: We need to have a great deal of wealth to
consider leaving a legacy gift.
Fact: Everyone can leave a legacy! Gifts of any amount
are most appreciated and will have a lasting impact on
shaping the future of TBS.
You can create a lasting legacy to match your values
and passions with the Temple’s needs. Together we can
impact the future of the Jewish community. This New
Year inscribe your vision for a sweet Jewish future. Give
today, guarantee tomorrow!
Myth #2: Legacy gifts are not for young families.
Fact: Many young families are choosing to add TBS as
a beneficiary to policies such as their life insurance or
IRAs. There are many ways to leave a legacy gift to the
Temple.
Shanah Tova,
Myth #3: Leaving a legacy gift is complicated.
Fact: There are many simple ways to give a legacy gift.
One simple way is through a cash gift now. Payment
plans are available. *Another simple way is through a
bequest in your will.
Myth #4: Our membership dues should be enough.
Why do we need the endowment?
Fact: Membership fees barely cover 50% of total
operating costs. Strategic long term planning in the
form of an endowment is the solution. An endowment
generates additional income through conservative
investment of the principal. A percentage of the interest
the endowment produces is used to offset operating
budget expenses. The principal is protected and the
endowment transforms into an income generating vehicle that will drive us safely into our financial future.

electronic kiosk in the
Welcome Center,
featuring our Book of Life
stories! The Book of Life is
a virtual online album, a

and family stories, from

who have made a legacy
gift.

simple bequest
language, please

Myth #5: Since TBS is strong now, we don’t need to
worry about building the endowment or planning for
the future.

Etan and Brielle Mark
Book of Life Story
“Temple Beth Sholom teaches us
how to love being Jewish.”
We came from different religious
upbringings: Brielle grew up with
Temple Beth Sholom (Rabbi
Glickstein was the rabbi at her
brothers’ bnei mitzvah), while Etan
was raised in a modern Orthodox
household in Brooklyn. We
were both inculcated with the
importance of “being Jewish” from
a young age–but despite Etan’s
Orthodox indoctrination, by the
time they met in 2002, it was more
important to Brielle to raise a
Jewish family than it was to Etan.
TBS was the impetus that allowed
our paths to eventually intersect to
provide a consistent message for
our family.
Book Donations
Needed by SJN
“Every person deserves
to own books.”
Please bring your gently read books
to Temple for the Phoenix
Reading Project.
Books will be donated to the
Chapman Partnership for the
Homeless. Every week, new
families enter and we have
collected and donated thousands
of books over the past three years.
Thank you,
Harrison Tandy,
Member of the
Social Justice Network
After getting married in 2005 and relocating to Miami Beach from
New York, Brielle’s father suggested to Etan that he get more
involved in TBS. Etan had never envisioned becoming involved in any
temple, much less a reform one. Years later, our children, Charlotte and
Oliver, both attended the Foundation School and Etan is now a Vice President of TBS. Brielle is involved in a number of initiatives around TBS as
well, including its Social Justice Network.
We are a resilient community. We don’t have the luxury to be
complacent, and must do our part to ensure the success of the Temple. It’s
easy to rely on others to become the community leaders and reap the benefits of their work. Yet, the legacy of the Temple requires a much deeper
level of participation. People need to consider whether they want a vibrant
and impactful Temple with human interaction that
reflects their Jewish beliefs, or a lukewarm façade with no substance,
no kishkes.
Judaism is about legacy and history, remembering and propagating.
We’ve been blessed with altruistic parents and grandparents who
always gave without hesitation, just as we’ve been blessed with this
opportunity to engage with such a spiritually rich platform. By doing our
part, we are reinforcing their legacy, making sure our Temple is available
and vibrant for years to come. We hope you will join us.

WHO HELPED HER FINISH A MARATHON?
A Technion alumnus did. In May 2012, paraplegic Claire Lomas finished the
London Marathon in 14 days using ReWalk, a lightweight, computer-assisted
exoskeleton developed by Technion alumnus Dr. Amit Goffer, who is paralyzed
from the chest down. Says Goffer of his invention, “Everything was based on
the basic education that I received at the Technion, which is priceless.” And
he is developing ReWalk further, so more people can use it. Q There are
many more breakthroughs at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. As
one of the world’s leading universities in science, technology and medicine,
the Technion is a major source of innovation. The brainpower of its graduates
helps drive the Israeli economy and contributes to the health and wellbeing of people in Israel and around the world. Q The American Technion
Society consists of thousands of people in the United States who support
the Technion. Please join us and help make the next generation of Technion
breakthroughs possible. Visit www.atscampaign.org or call 305.707.4633.
