Project Atid:
Strategic
Planning
Update
I
am happy to report that our
strategic planning process,
Project Atid (Future), reports and
recommendations are starting to develop.
Our Social Action and Advocacy team
and our Early Engagement team both
made presentations to the Board of
Trustees at the Board’s last meeting,
and the Board is working through the
recommendations presented. The Shaare
Emeth Experience team is currently
evaluating the data we received from
focus groups with members ranging
from six months to over thirty years
membership in the congregation. As
the teams delve into their respective
areas of Temple life, more members are
becoming involved in helping determine
the best future course for Congregation
Shaare Emeth. I hope that you will join
us in creating the best possible future for
the Temple. As always, if you have any
questions related to the work being
done, or would like to add your voice,
please feel free to email me at
atid@shaare-emeth.org.
Greg Yawitz, Board First Vice-President
Everyone Has a Name
Every person has a name, given by God, given by
his father and mother
Every person has a name, given by her stature
and her way of smiling, and given by her clothes
Every person has a name, given by the mountains,
given by the walls
Every person has a name, given by the planets,
given by his neighbors....
-Israeli poet, Zelda

Counting Our Blessings
Everyone Has a Name
T
he words of the Israeli poet Zelda
(see page 1) remind us of the power
of names. Our Jewish tradition
holds our names dear. The rabbis teach
that a name is one of our most precious
possessions. We are given Hebrew names
for use in our spiritual and ritual lives, and
they can link us to those who came before,
those we honor, remember, or respect. These Jewish names are an
important gift to us that can bring us great meaning.
Yet there are many of all ages in our community who have
never been given a Hebrew name, for many different reasons.
On Friday, January 4, which is Shabbat Shemot, when we
begin reading the book of Exodus, known in Hebrew as
Shemot or “Names,” we invite all those, of any age, who
have never received a Hebrew name to receive one during
our Shabbat evening service. If you would like to be given a
Hebrew name that evening, please complete the form below
and submit it to Gloria in the Temple office, call or email
Gloria at 314-569-0010 or gschwartz@shaare-emeth.org, or
fill out the form available at www.shaare-emeth.org.
During the service we will honor and ask God’s blessing on all
those who will be named in the presence of our community and
celebrate the names that help us to find meaning.

Israel Travel
Would that I have wings that I could wend my way to thee,
O Jerusalem, from afar!
I will make my own broken heart find its way amidst your broken ruins.
I will fall upon my face to the ground,
for I take delight in your stones and show favor to your very dust.
The air of your land is the very life of our soul.
- Yehuda Halevi
T
hese lines, penned by Halevi
in the 11th century, still
express the feelings that the
Jewish people hold in their hearts when it
comes to Jerusalem and Israel. Many of
our young people feel this way as well.
They, too, have a yearning to return to the
land of our ancestors, to visit and live in
a place where Judaism comes alive not just in the synagogue,
but also on the streets, at the mall, and in the laws that govern
the land. Yes, our young people may feel more critical of Israel
than generations past. Yes, their feelings about Israel may be
more nuanced and conflicted. But their desire to connect with
Israel in a personal way is still strong. And nothing can solidify
a love for Israel, a commitment to Israel, and in turn, a love and
commitment to Judaism, more than visiting Israel. Floating in
the Dead Sea, picking fruit grown at a Reform kibbutz in the
Negev desert, talking with Israeli teens from Yokne’am who
share the same tastes in fashion and music, walking the streets
of the Old City of Jerusalem and the bustling streets of Tel Aviv,
walking in the footsteps of Abraham and Sarah and Ben Gurion
and Moshe Dayan—these experiences are not fleeting. As
anyone who has traveled to Israel knows, these moments lodge
themselves somewhere in our souls.
This summer there are wonderful opportunities for teen travel
to Israel. NFTY in Israel – our Reform movement’s incredible
program – allows teens to see so much of the country on their
4
five week programs. You can check out the varied itineraries
of NFTY’s trips by visiting www.nfty.org/travel. Also, Israel
Bound, St. Louis’ own amazing teen trip chaperoned by local
youth advisors, is now accepting applications. To find out
more about these and other Israel opportunities, as well as
scholarships for travel to Israel, contact Karen Rader (krader@
cajestl.org) at the St. Louis CAJE office.
Finally, if you are reading this and thinking, “My children are
too young to think about a teen program in Israel,” I encourage
you to look into the Passport to Israel program so you can begin
to save for this amazing opportunity. And if you are reading
this, and your children are too old to travel to Israel with a teen
program, or you do not have children, please consider making a
donation to one of our Israel scholarship funds so that we have
the ability to help all of our students who wish to visit Israel do
so. If you have any questions about travel to Israel now, or in the
future, I encourage you to be in touch.
Would that I have wings that I could wend my way to thee,
O Jerusalem, from afar! I believe an experience in Israel is one
of the greatest gifts parents and a congregation can give their
children. May 5773 be the year in which many of our young
people find their way “home.”
L’shalom,
Rabbi Andrea Goldstein, Rabbi
agoldstein@shaare-emeth.org
Teen Israel Bound Trip
W
hether despite of or because of all that has transpired
in Israel since the Second Intifada began, it is
heartening to know that Halevi’s poem also still
expresses the thoughts and dreams of many of our young people.
The teens of our congregation want to learn Hebrew, know her
history, understand the political debates—and they want to visit.
They want to go and know Israel in a personal and meaningful
way. This coming January, record numbers of Reform high
school students will begin their semester abroad in Israel.
This summer, high school students can spend up to five weeks
traveling through Israel on one of a variety of teen tours. And,
for the first time, high school students from St. Louis will have
the opportunity to travel to Israel together on St. Louis’ Reform
Jewish Community Israel Bound trip. This 3 ½ week tour
(June 10–July 3, 2013) for 10th -12th graders will be led by
St. Louis Reform rabbis and will take teens on an exciting and
spiritual adventure throughout our homeland.
If you have questions about the Israel Bound trip or any of
the many travel opportunities for teens in Israel, if you have
questions about scholarships, or if you just want someone with
whom you can talk through your concerns, please don’t hesitate
to call.
L’shalom,
Rabbi Andrea Goldstein
Congregational Israel Trip - July 28-August 8, 2013

deeds of Kindness
What Do Tzedakah, Xerox and Ziploc all Have
in Common?
G
lad you asked! We baby boomers
refer to a copy machine as Xerox
machine and a storage bag as a
Ziploc. The name assumes the meaning
of a deeper concept. Tzedakah is similar
in that the word encapsulates deeper
meaning and understanding. We often
use the word tzedakah to refer to money
that we donate. However, the root of the word (tzadei-dalet-kuf)
comes from the word righteous, justice and fairness. How are
we being righteous, just and fair when we give or do tzedakah?
In Deuteronomy 16:20 we are taught, “Tzedek, Tzedek Tirdof:
Justice, justice shall you pursue, that you may live.” Rabbinic
commentary teaches us that the word ‘justice’ is repeated
twice in order to emphasize that we must pursue justice
through means that are just, and we need justice not only for
ourselves but for others as well. There are 613 mitzvot, or
commandments, in the Torah. They are not weighted equally.
We learn from the Talmud that, “Tzedakah is equal to all the
other commandments combined.” (Bava Bathra 9b). Tzedakah
is that important.
Our texts are filled with numerous explanations of what
it means to give tzedakah, what it means to be just and
righteous. The rabbis specified why it is important, how to
give, who is responsible for giving to whom and how much
to give. Tzedakah is the way in which we acknowledge that
we are all created B’tzelem Elohim: in the image of God.
We share that divine spark with each other. Therefore, we
have a responsibility to each other as we live in community
together. “What is mine is yours and what is yours is yours.”
(Pirke Avot). This is true sharing and loving kindness. This is
tzedakah: righteous giving.
Every Jewish holiday is connected to the act of giving
tzedakah. Each week, before lighting the Shabbat candles, we
give tzedakah. At Congregation Shaare Emeth, we have two
beautiful tzedakah boxes made of Jerusalem stone. One is
located in the front lobby and the other to the right of the doors
of the Stiffman Sanctuary. Our Tzedakah Committee, chaired
by Irl Scissors, makes decisions each quarter about what agency
will receive the contents of the tzedakah boxes. They base
their decisions on a set of criteria, and they include agencies
that are not as well known in the community and appreciate our
kindness. Each quarter, the kiosk in the lobby has information
about the agency. When the agency is a local one, we have a
speaker on the second Friday night of each month. Watch your
Shaare Mail for more information about up-coming speakers.
What can you do to fulfill the mitzvah of tzedakah?
• Anytime you come to Temple, please put spare change or
some contribution in either of the tzedakah boxes
• Do you have an agency that you feel we need to support?
Contact Debbie Bram at dbram@shaare-emeth.org
• Do you want to be a part of this wonderful committee?
Contact Debbie Bram
“It is not your responsibility to finish the work [of perfecting
the world], but you are not free to desist from it either” (2:16).
Let us all begin the work of pursuing tzedek, justice through the
giving of tzedakah.

Director of Jewish Life and Learning

To continue their work they need more yarn. If you would otherwise like to donate yard for their efforts,
please drop off your yarn donation in the basket located in the Temple Lobby Tzedakah Center.

Congregation Shaare Emeth
fall fundraiser celebrated Heart
& Soul at our second annual gala. We
honored congregation members Steve
& Susan Lipstein with the Harris Frank
Community Service Award. We were able
to share with the nearly 300 guests (from
Shaare Emeth and from the St. Louis
community) stories of the wonderful
contributions that both the Lipsteins
and Congregation Shaare Emeth have
made, and continue to make, toward
positive social action in the St. Louis
community. A success on many levels, the
evening provided a great foundation for
further social action. The fall fundraiser
raised funds for our operating budget
and we thank all who joined us and
showed support.

T
his is the time of year when most of us make resolutions
to take action in our life. If you have not already
purchased property at New Mt. Sinai Cemetery, now
would be a great time to do so. There are so many reasons:
• It’s Congregation Shaare Emeth’s cemetery (and you are a
member of the New Mt. Sinai Cemetery Association)
• 10% discount to Congregation Shaare Emeth members on
pre-need purchases
• A portion of your purchase is donated back to the Temple
• New Mt. Sinai permits burial of non-Jewish family members
• We accept cremations
