The Blessing of Making Our Lives a
Blessing to Others
(from Rabbi Schiftan’s 2013 Kol Nidre Sermon)
Our heritage informs us of the lessons we are to teach; our rabbis
instruct us and often inspire us as to why those lessons should matter
so much to us; and we have the extraordinary opportunity, in with our
Executive Staff
lives, and within our own lifetimes, to model those lessons for all those

who come after us. They are the teachable moments we create through

Rabbi Schiftan
It is in that same spirit that I’m inviting you to travel with me to the

mosque,
to
stand by the side of our Muslim neighbors, who wish to affirm their

Get on Board
The temperatures are cooler, the humidity lower, and the days shorter.
Religious School is up and running, our B’nai Mitzvah students are getting ready to take their turns at the
pulpit, and staff, volunteers, and lay leaders are working diligently on behalf of our congregants.
Yes, autumn has arrived, and with it, more of the future.
Ray Berkt
In fact, the future is all around us. As president of the Temple, I see it every day.
It is there when we look at our children — we see in them hope and promise for the future of our congregation and our people.
We see it in the bride and groom as they exchange their vows and promise to maintain a Jewish home.
Even when we recite the Kaddish, the focus is on the living and the future.
As Jews, we work to make the future a better place. We do not dwell on the past — we remember it, learn from it, and move
forward.
At the Temple, each event, each action, and each occasion may be occurring in the present, but it is all about the future.
When we visit the sick, when we feed and shelter the homeless, when we teach our children in Religious School, when we study
the Torah, when we conduct our services, when we do all that we do, the impact may be immediate, but the ramifications continue
to reverberate.
Importantly, we see the future in the work of our staff and volunteers.
A good example is the High Holy Days. They may have just ended, but preparations for next year’s holidays have already begun. Sure, the bulk of the work will come later, but our staff and clergy are already analyzing and critiquing the past holidays and laying
the groundwork for next year.
The work of each of the Temple’s regular 32 committees also is felt in the future. In addition, the future is the focus of a number
of specially created committees whose work will impact all of us. I have previously mentioned some of these committees, but not
others.
The Religious School Director Search Committee, chaired by Loren Elliot and Ralph Levy, will determine the future direction of
our Religious School. The Cemetery Task Force, chaired by Betty Lee Rosen and Gus Kuhn, will decide what improvements will
be made at our existing cemetery. The Temple Gift Shop Committee, chaired by Martha Nemer, will put in place a retail operation
that utilizes state of the art technology, featuring diverse, top of the line items. And the Fund Raising Committee, chaired by Chris
McPherson, will plan and implement a Temple fundraiser for next spring.
Your staff, volunteers, and lay leaders understand and appreciate the promise of the future, but we also know that sometimes the
future can be a challenge, as Bruce Springsteen aptly noted in “Glory Days”:
Now I think I’m going down to the well tonight
and I’m going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don’t sit around thinking about it
but I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of glory days
At the Temple, we are doing our best to make certain that our “glory days” are ahead of us, and always will be.Whether it is in your
personal life, or in your work on behalf of our Congregation, I encourage you to do the same.

Homework Hotline
Correct completion of homework is increasingly important for academic achievement, especially for immigrant and
low-income students. While studies show that both low income and English Learners (ELL) are most likely to benefit from
completing homework, they are least likely to get the help they need. Their parents are often unable to provide assistance with homework because of limited English proficiency, limited
formal education, and incompatible work schedules. If the homework is not completed, or if completed incorrectly, they are placed at a cumulative disadvantage--for failed
opportunities to learn, negative teacher perceptions, lower academic self-efficacy, and academic disengagement over time.
Temple funding is being used to provide professional bilingual tutoring in Somalian and Spanish.

In Support of Women of The Wall
On August 6th over 150 members of the Nashville Jewish Community met at The Temple for a heartfelt service
supporting the women in Israel who are struggling to make their mark and
fighting for the right to worship at “The Wall”
Interested in Conversion to Judaism?
Students will follow the Introduction to Judaism syllabus prepared by Rabbi Mackler, and engage in conversations with her and Patty
Marks, past President of The Temple. Those seeking to learn more about Judaism will grow as a group and continue on their individual
Journeys toward becoming Jewish.
Students will keep a journal about their journey, and sessions nearer to holidays will include indepth learning about those celebrations
and customs. Rabbi Mackler will continue to meet with each student individually periodically throughout the course. Students may join
throughout the year, and there is no expectation of conversion upon completion of the syllabus.This is a way to learn together and to take
these next steps toward becoming Jewish, living and leading a meaningful Jewish life.
To register for the class or for more information,
please contact: Rabbi Mackler (rabbisgmackler@templenashville.org) or Mitzie (mitzie@templenashville.org/615-352-7620)

Religious School
by Lynda Gutcheon
Opening of Religious School Begins with Cake and Drums!
On Sunday, September 22, 2013, our Religious School year began with two separate special programs along with Consecration
rehearsal, Hebrew classes and a moving reflective exercise of self-growth in our 7th grade.
Students in grades 5-10 began the year by watching the moving documentary “The Cake Lady”, produced and directed by our
own Adam Hirsch. It is the story of an 89-year-old woman who reminds us to count our blessings everyday even if we are living
through struggles and sadness. Adam, who joined us to comment on his film, said “she just makes cakes for others, even if she
doesn’t know them, just to make them happy.” It was a great message to remind us of the blessings in our own lives. Students in Kindergarten through 4th grade participated in a Jewish Blessings Drum Circle. Surrounded by hundreds of drums
and percussion instruments, our students drummed their way through different blessings and rumbled the highs and lows of
pounding sounds. Sue Epstein, a Jewish professional Drum Circle leader from Los Angeles, led the morning. The morning concluded
with each student taking home their own little drum.

Preschool
by Jan Huettner & Corye Nelson
A Child’s Guide to the City
This month we would like to share some exciting news! While attending a course at the Reggio Exhibit in Henderson,
Kentucky, Corye Nelson, Moon Bishop (one of our preschool
teachers), and Elle Harvey (principal of A New Leaf School),
were inspired by their class to develop a relationship between
early childhood education and our greater
community. From this idea a new project
called “A Children’s Guide to the City”
that will pair the Temple Preschool’s
classrooms with community partners in
the city of Nashville was created. As this
concept develops, each participating class
will have a chance to actually visit their
chosen store or building in our community and cultivate a
relationship there, as well as to display a citywide exhibit. The
goal of this project is to connect our unique community of
Nashville to some of our best preschools in the city.
Based on the children’s interests and ideas, the teachers
and students will develop a project that will require extensive
investigation and explorations. After weeks of study and
discoveries, this project will culminate with a spring citywide
display that will be featured in select buildings and retail
stores across the city. We encourage these projects to
be showcased in stores unique to Nashville, rather than
outlet or department stores. The spring exhibition will
feature sketches, paintings, sculptures, stories, photographs
and other works by our students. Documentation about
the techniques used and the history of the project will be
included at the site. Also on display will be an information board/
poster explaining the citywide project with information about
our preschool, and the location of other sites in our area that
will be displaying these exhibits. Preschools throughout the state
including Cookeville, Johnson City, and Chattanooga will also be
participating in this important connection
between their cities and their schools. By
helping our children develop a confidence
and excitement about their relationships,
their world and the world around them,
we embrace the Reggio philosophy
and become a part of our wonderful
community of Nashville.
As we continue to work on this new project, we will update
you on the locations and dates that the children will be exhibiting
their work. Monday, April 28th, has been set for the installation of
these displays.
We would also like to pass along an e-mail we received from
Doug Adair (our diaper drive coordinator). The “count” from
our first pick-up of diapers was 1,472 that were donated by our
preschool and Temple families. He said that this was a wonderful
way to start this project and he was very excited and extremely
grateful for what we were doing for babies and families in need in
Nashville.
As we continue to build relationships with this wonderful city,
we remind you that you can drop off new or unused diapers in
the baby crib located at the entrance to the preschool.
Thank you.
