DIVREI HA RAV
THE RABBI’S WORDS
Imagine the scene – the Kohen Gadol – the high priest of Israel adorned in full regalia faces the decisive moment to seek
first atonement for himself and his family, then for his fellow members of the priesthood, and then the people of Israel.
To seal the fate of the people for the year to come, he enters the holiest site within the Temple complex – the inner
sanctum – the holy of holies. Here he encounters the tablets brought down from Mt. Sinai by Moses – the holiest object
possessed by Israel – engraved by God’s own hand. Here he prays for his own and their future – a truly awesome and
awe-filled moment.
When we gather this year, as in years past for our Days of Awe observance, we “re-create” that moment of the past.
We recognize that for these Days to have full meaning we have to imagine that the King of Kings is judging us, and that
our fate for another year is being determined.
Life and death are in the balance.
How do we respond to the yearly challenge these Days of Awe present to us? Are we ready for a real encounter with
God, with our actions, with our thoughts, our belief? Are we ready to acknowledge our shortcomings, our misses, our
faults, our errors, our big mistakes?
Life and death are in the balance. Have we grown during the past year? How? In what ways?
Unlike other nations, Israel welcomes this “trial”, this “day of judgment”, with joy. We dress in our finery. We adorn our
sanctuary in white. We surround ourselves with symbols of purity. We are confident that we retain our special relationship with God even with our shortcomings – our sin – our “missing the mark”.
We are indeed blessed as we transition from one year to another. Our task then is to transform these blessings into
deeds that transform the world into the place God would have it be – to make God’s commandments real for each of us.
Shanah Tova and G’mar Hatimah Tova – A happy new year, and may we again be sealed in the book of life for a year of
good health.
Rabbi Len Zukrow

FROM THE PRESIDENT . . .
When I was installed as President of Temple Beth-El, I did not know what to expect. I knew
that there would be meetings, weekly announcements and bulletin articles, but what else
would the job take?
It turns out that the job of President has a lot to do with being ready when something unexpected comes up. This year we had to interview and hire a new employee, deal with storm
damage and reassign certain office duties. Glamorous stuff, I know, but necessary.
If there is one thing that seems to be important, it is the ability to clearly communicate. This
year I have received phone calls from congregants on many subjects. There have been suggestions, criticisms, clarifications and encouragement. I have tried to be accommodating and
straightforward in these discussions.
In the last few weeks I have heard from a number of you who are unclear on our food policy
and what changes have occurred. In short, Temple Beth-El’s food policy remains unchanged.
Pork and shellfish are not allowed in our building. We did have a few Shabbat dinners/services
that were non-dairy, but those were for those events only and not intended to establish policy. In hindsight, I should have done more to explain what was going on to prevent confusion.
Going forward, pork and shellfish will be prohibited, but there will not be additional restrictions outside of our policy.
To be effective as Temple President, I need to hear from you. If you have any questions or
ideas, I welcome your phone call. Enjoy the rest of the summer.
Shalom
Matthew

2013 High Holy Day Ticket Policies
Complimentary High Holy Day Tickets
The Board of Trustees has voted to offer complimentary tickets to the community for this year’s
High Holy Day services. Below are a few of the reasons the board is “opening up” this year’s
services:
o Showcase Rabbi Zukrow now that he is settled in. There is still curiosity about
what’s going on at Temple Beth-El
o New members
o Income from donations
What are we offering?
o Tickets to be issued to local non-Temple Beth-El Jewish residents who request
them.
o In order to receive tickets individuals must fill out a registration form and
provide name, address, phone number, email address, and number of children
and ages.
o Number of total tickets will be limited to 100.
o Complimentary tickets will still be issued to member’s parents, grandparents,
children and grandchildren at the request of the member. These requests do not
count against the 100 ticket limit
We encourage current Temple members to invite non-members to take advantage of this
opportunity and worship with us.
The following are sections of our existing High Holy Day ticket policy that still apply for this
year:
1. Tickets are required for all High Holy Day services.
2. Members’ children 18 years of age and younger will not need tickets
3. Paid-up members’ parents, grandparents, and children/grandchildren over 18 will be
issued complimentary tickets upon request of the member in good standing.
4. Non-members who are members in good standing of another congregation will be
issued complimentary tickets upon presenting a letter of membership from their
congregation.
5. Jewish individuals or families new to our community since last year’s High Holy Days will
be issued complimentary tickets upon request.

NEWS FROM BROTHERHOOD
Paul Mesirow, President
While we’re usually not doing much over the summer, this summer marks a change!
We’ll be hosting the Lunch following Religious School Registration and Hebrew Boot Camp on Sunday, August 11. It will be a hot dog box lunch from Bergstein’s Deli, and we need reservations
in the office by August 7. We MUST have a correct headcount.
The next item on the agenda is our August meeting – yes, a Brotherhood meeting on August 13! We
will serve dinner at 6:30PM, with food from BERGSTEIN’S again – sandwiches (corned beef, roast
beef, or salami) with potato salad or coleslaw, a cold drink, and a cookie! Cost will be $8, and
again – we need a headcount by August 8.
In addition to dinner, we will be showing “WATERMARKS: The Jewish Swimming Champions Who
Defied Hitler”. Everyone knows about my friend Jesse Owens, who embarrassed Hitler in 1936;
these Jewish women did the same thing!
No meeting in September, but our news will be who will be addressing our October 8 meeting from
the Chicago White Sox. It promises to be an EXCELLENT event, and one to which ALL Congregants
are invited, men AND women! Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. once again on that date! Brotherhood is MOVING on!!!

SISTERHOOD NEWS
Carrie Morris, President
The Maj-A-Thon has come and gone. I’m not sure how close to the 100 hours of playing time the event was but everyone seemed to have a good time.. Thanks to all who helped by providing snacks and to Pat Horn and Barbara Bame for
prizes.
We are still conducting our Membership Drive and wish to thank all who have already sent in dues. To those of you who
have not, seriously consider being a Sisterhood member. The goal is to have all Temple Beth-El women as members.
We need you!
Don’t forget to send in your New Year’s greeting by August 21. This is a major fund raiser for Sisterhood and a nice way
to say L’Shana Tova to all your Temple friends. Thanks to Debbie Feinberg for chairing this fundraiser.
Sisterhood’s Opening Tea is scheduled for Sunday, August 25, at noon so mark your calendar. There will be food and
entertainment so plan on attending.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are right around the corner. If you are able, Sisterhood would appreciate any help with
the Rosh Hashanah Oneg (baked goods) or Break-The-Fast. If you are asked to participate or would like to help, please
contact Annette Steinberg or Barbara Bame or consider a donation to offset the costs.
Thank you to all who helped and attended the July 3 fund raiser. We filled the parking lot and could have parked many
additional cars. We will be back again next year.
The Gift Shop is open during normal business hours for your shopping pleasure. We still have fish and VASUs for displaying your summer flowers
May your remaining summer days be full of happiness and joy.
Carrie Morris
The Sisterhood is thinking about getting a group together to go see a Sunday afternoon performance of Wicked this
Winter. It will be either early November or mid-December, but before we do this we would like to know who would be
interested in going. Tickets would be $112.00 per person and seats would be on the main floor. If you are interested,
please call the Temple office or email Lmesirow@gmail.com and let us know by the end of August. This event is open to
everyone.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL NEWS
Francie Gerson, Facilitator
Plans are underway for an amazing 2013 – 2014 school year. The staff has already been working hard to create lessons that will engage all of their students. We look forward to seeing all the children and making Religious School a fun and meaningful experience.
Soon our Religious School families will be receiving emails with upcoming events, dates, schedules, etc.
We hope to see all of our families for our first program, HEBREW BOOT CAMP, on Sunday, August 11th, from
9:30 – 11:30 a.m., followed by lunch provided by our Brotherhood. This morning program is for
BOTH PARENTS AND CHILDREN. By the time the morning ends, all will be able to read Hebrew.
This will be a refresher for some, and for those who do not know Hebrew at all...YOU WILL!!!!
Registration for Religious School will also take place.
Sunday mornings are very active and exciting. We welcome everyone to come and see what's going
on. Enjoy a bagel from the famous “bagel cart” and take a look at what our children are doing.
Enjoy the rest of the summer...what's left of it.
Shalom,
Francie
Adult – Community Education Opportunities
Comparative Judaism: What makes us similar and yet different?
All members of Temple Beth-El and the general community are invited to join together for an eight (8) week overview of
contemporary Judaism. We will examine the various stream/movements in modern Jewish life in both America and Israel.
What are the origins of Orthodox Judaism? How is Reform different? What is Reconstructionism? Representatives
from each of these streams will speak to us and then we will reflect on their presentations.
Our sessions will take place on Monday evenings from 7:00 – 8:00 PM at Temple Beth-El. Session dates to follow.
A course in Comparative Religion will be offered in the Winter and Spring.
TASTE OF JUDAISM: Are you curious?
We will again offer a three (3)-session presentation sponsored with the Union for Reform Judaism for anyone interested
in learning more about Jewish beliefs, practices, peoplehood, and the land of Israel.
Sessions will take place on Thursdays in October and are open to the entire community. Please let your friends and
neighbors know and encourage them to attend. Dates and times to follow.

On the Upbeat
Kristin Stern, Music Director
It has been quite a while since I last wrote a music article for more than notifying the congregation of Shabbat
Shirah or thanking my wonderful choir. I'm hoping to share thoughts on a more regular basis again. Rabbi Zukrow and I have had many discussions over the past year of how the music was before, how it is going now,
and how we would both like to see it develop. Many of you have probably noticed some of the ways our services have already evolved.
More and more the Reform Movement is recognizing the desire of its members to understand the prayers and
the process of worship. In this way they are able to be more a part of the experience, rather than feeling like
onlookers. Temple Beth-El is definitely a congregation that enjoys involving itself not only in the spoken prayers but also in the musical ones.
In the coming months, Rabbi Zukrow and I will continue to share our thoughts and explanations about the various components of the service as we worship together. One of us may discuss a particular prayer or piece of
music, or we may look at a theme which runs through the service such as a Hebrew root word appearing in
different places. We hope these mini lessons will not disrupt your experience but rather lead to a fuller and
deeper understanding of why we do what we do.
TIME FOR A NEW LOOK
After being in our new building for 14 years, it's time to take a new look at our decor and see how we can best
utilize the furnishings and artwork we currently have to represent the personality of our congregation. To
work toward that end, we are forming a small committee to discuss both what impression we would like to
give when people enter our building and how we can achieve that through our decorating. Adding to or updating what we have are also possibilities. If you are interested in being a part of this, please notify the office.
We hope to begin meeting in the near future.
Pastor Joe Ramirez and Charlotte Moore collect slightly worn clothing for those in need. As you transition from summer
to fall, please consider a donation. Thank you.

Afternoon Book Discussion
The next Temple book discussion is scheduled for Tuesday, September 10, 2013, at 1:30 p.m. in the Bertha and
Dan Rabin Library. You’re invited to read Defending Jacob by William Landay.
“ A 14-year-old boy is stabbed to death in the park near his middle school in an upper-class Boston suburb, and
Assistant District Attorney Andy Barber takes the case, despite the fact that his son, Jacob, was a classmate of
the victim. But when the bloody fingerprint on the victim’s clothes turns out to be Jacob’s, Barber is off the
case and out of his office, devoting himself solely to defending his son. Even Barber’s never-before-disclosed
heritage as the son and grandson of violent men who killed becomes potential courtroom fodder, raising the
question of a “murder gene.” Within the structure of a grand jury hearing a year after the murder, Landay
gradually increases apprehension. As if peeling the layers of an onion, he raises personal and painful ethical
issues pertaining to a parent’s responsibilities to a child, to a family, and to society at large. Landay’s two
previous novels (Mission Flats, 2003; The Strangler, 2007) were award winners, but he reaches a new level of
excellence in this riveting, knock-your-socks-off legal thriller. With its masterfully crafted characterizations and
dialogue, emotional depth, and frightening implications, the novel rivals the best of Scott Turow and John
Grisham. Don’t miss it." (Booklist, January 1, 2012, p46)
Copies of the book will be available in the Temple office and at the Munster Branch Library (8701 Calumet
Avenue) in early August. Newcomers to this Temple activity are warmly invited .
