Shabbat service with guest speaker Ezra Ravins from
The Jewish National Fund
Ezra Ravins joined the Jewish National Fund (JNF) in
November 2013 as the JNF-KKL Israel Emissary to the
Southeast Region. He has an interesting perspective
and story to tell touching on modern Zionism and
accomplishments in the Negev desert coming from the
background of a farmer and leader in the Central Arava.
Ezra’s message touches on vision, environment,
agriculture, water and technology in extreme desert
conditions.

Thank You to Our AWESOME Emanu-Elves
Champions! Share the Spirit:
Family to Family 2014
Wow! 2014 was the SEVENTH year our congregation
pitched in to help some low-income families really
celebrate Christmas. Despite the limited scope of the
program, with assistance from the Cohn Early Learning
Center, along with friends in both Birmingham and
Tuscaloosa, Temple Emanu-El provided gifts for over
400 people, thanks to the overwhelming generosity of
our congregants.
Partnering with First Teachers @ Home (an initiative founded at TEE), Champions were
anonymously paired with participating families in Jefferson, Tuscaloosa and Black Belt
Counties. First Teachers @ Home, a Game-Changing program with astonishing outcomes,
starts at the very beginning: Pre-Kindergarten education - taught by parents - in the home.
First Teachers @ Home levels the playground for low-income children by focusing on the
primary cause of their underachievement - their underachieving families. FT@H transforms
those families so that even the most fragile of parents can effectively prepare their children
for success in school. By validating and reinforcing the adults' own abilities, as well as
teaching them consistent and positive parenting skills, the outcomes for FT@H are
outstanding.
Parents and grandparents overwhelmingly echoed the same refrain: Bless you! Our favorite
this year was a shy mother, with a gentle manner, who asked if it would be okay for her to
say thank to the people who bought gifts for her children, and even for her elderly, rather
frail grandmother. Her grandmother, she said, “yelled jus‛ like she was in church that God
had gotten them for the family”. The mom leaned in to confide that she knew it was just
good people doing God‛s work. “ I know that ain‛t exactly true, but maybe it is. I just know
that they did good”.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the staggering work of our astonishing
chief shopper Judy Rutstein, and the clergy who are pillars of this program. First Teachers
@ Home deeply appreciates the funding from the Temple Emanu-El Tzadakah High Holidays
Campaign, which helps sustain our program. Here is a list of our congregants and friends who
participated in 2014:

DID YOU KNOW?
Little-Known Facts About our
Annual Endowment Gift Program •
Last year, nearly 300 of our members participated in this program
to help build our Endowment Fund assets. It is also a great way not only to
send tributes for special occasions or in memory of loved ones
•
Gifts of all sizes are welcome – minimum gifts are $25, and may be
paid in installments through June 30. Our goal is for as many congregants to
participate as possible.
•
Special Benefits -- we offer the opportunity to those making a gift of
$100+ to receive the convenience of being able to simply phone in or e-mail
their acknowledgement information for ten(10) complimentary contributions.
Those making gifts of $250 or more also receive these benefits and include
thirty (30) complimentary acknowledgments (begins with receipt of gift
through September 30, 2015).
•
Reply Now – there’s still time to participate! Payments are not due
until June 30th. Just contact the Endowment Fund Office at 933-8397 or
endowment@ourtemple.org with questions or to make arrangements for your
gift.
A list of those who have already let us know of their participation is included
as an insert in next month’s bulletin. At the conclusion of our campaign this
summer, a complete list of donors will be displayed in the Sanctuary foyer
and included in our Annual Report.
Your contributions through our “ Temple Tributes” help to support Temple Emanu-‐El’s annual operations and activities, and further build our Grafman Endowment Fund to enrich our congregation…..now and forever.

Buggy Bucks: The Perfect Gift!
Please give Buggy Bucks gift cards to your friends, family, and employees for any celebration or occasion.
It works like this: you purchase the Buggy Bucks gift cards for Publix or Piggly Wiggly. They work just like any gift
card, but these stores give us a discount on the total amount and those proceeds go directly to the Temple General
Fund. We take cash, checks, and can even transfer money directly from your bank!
We can mail the Buggy Bucks directly to you or we can mail them directly to the recipient with your personalized card.
Now, what could be easier than that?
Call Loretta Newfield at (205) 933-8037 or arleanloretta@icloud.com to order.
