There are so many ways to do this and one of those ways is to join one of our choirs. Our Shiru Dor L’dor Youth Choir is look for new members 4th -7th grade, and our Shir Chadash Adult Choir is looking for anyone 13 years or older, to join these great groups. The Shiru Dor L’dor Youth choir meets every Sunday from 11:30-1:00 beginning Aug. 16th 2015 to May 15th 2016. We begin with a bit of social time and have a snack, and then we rehearse. The youth choir sings for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Simkhat Torah, and Purim at which the choir performs the Purim Spiel, and the first Friday of each month for Erev Shabbat service. The choir also participates in the “New Zimriya” a local Concert put on by all the Jewish Youth Choirs in the area. This past year for the first time I took two choir members to the National Song Leaders Boot Camp in St. Louis. I chose two students who exemplify their love and commitment for Jewish music to take to this conference; they were exposed to the larger world of Jewish music and songleading. Our Shir Chadash Choir meets every Thursday from 7:30-9:00 pm beginning July 2nd 2015 to May 19th 2016. This choir sings for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and every third Friday of the month. This choir is a small group of very committed individuals who love Jewish Music and we would love to have you join them. You do not need to be able to read music for either of these choirs. All we ask is that you love to sing! I hope you will consider joining one of these choirs. If you have any questions please call me at 248-967-4020. Beatles Shabbat Calling all 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th graders who love music! Get your service requirements! Learn the music for your Bar/Bat Mitzvah! Sing for Holiday and Shabbat services!

Friday June 12 - 7pm featuring Beatles melodies -4- We Want You To Join • Sivan/Tammuz 5775 The Rabbi’s Corner A Pilgrimage to the Land of Israel A congregational trip to Israel can be fun, exciting and adventurous. It can be an experience where you travel to a country and go from place to place and you will passively “take in” what you see, barely speaking to the locals or barely having an understanding of what you see and its significance. It can be a trip where you stay only a few hours in one place and you constantly rush to the next one, barely having the time to process what you have seen. A trip to Israel can be conceived as a five star trip unconnected to the reality that most Israelis live day by Rabbi Arturo Kalfus day. This is not how I like to do a foreign trip; particularly to Israel. My vision of a congregational trip to Israel is one of a pilgrimage of the spirit. It is one that connects you to the land, the culture and its people. My vision of a congregational trip to Israel is not a typical “tourist” one. My hope is that a trip to Israel will be a life-changing encounter, where you will be enriched spiritually by what you have experienced. My vision of this congregational pilgrimage includes understanding the different facets of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This is crucial for me, since our news in America does not allow us to fully understand the situation that Israel is in. So many times our Jewish identity is shaken by events in Israel long distance. A pilgrimage of the spirit where you will connect to the land, the people and the culture. It is in this spirit that I am embarking in organizing Temple Emanu-El’s congregational pilgrimage to Israel for the second half of June 2016. That is, a year from this June. This trip will be geared for adults and mature teens that are open to this type of travel experience. Phyllis and I are going to Israel in a few weeks, in part to prepare for our congregational trip. We want to share with you our connection to the land, the people and the culture. We both lived in Israel for several years and we both have a special connection to Jerusalem. We want to share with you these special places that were part of our younger years. As an example, I want to share with you a place where my father fought during the Israeli war of independence in 1948 and what those memories did for me and my Jewish identity growing up in Argentina. This will be a very personal sharing of Israel with you, in a similar way that we organized last year’s congregational trip to Argentina. So, I hope that you will consider joining us in the second half of June 2016. I truly look forward to a trip that will be transformational and deep. Phyllis will join me at an informational meeting we will schedule in early September to let you know more details about this adventure. From my heart to yours, Temple Emanu-El: Where You Belong • 248-967-4020 -5- FRom the President Thank You For Your Support As I look back on my two year Presidency, I find myself reflecting upon the tremendous support received from my fellow congregants and Temple Staff. Without your continued support, my journey from July I, 2013 until today, would have been more challenging than it was. During my tenure, we hired a new Rabbi, a Temple Educator and an Executive Director. With your patience, the commitment of our Executive Committee and the Board, we effectively transitioned to these positions. You also supported our Temple by generously donating to our Kulanu and special High Holy Day fund-raising campaigns. And for these, I am enormously grateful. My gratitude also goes out to those who contributed their time and effort to helping with the myriad of volunteer activities these past two years. Included are those wonderful volunteers who worked on committees, greeted our congregants at worship services, sang in our choir, opened their homes to meet and greet our Rabbi, delivered food to grieving families, organized dinners, baked and/ or sponsored Onegs, and other activities too numerous to name. These volunteers go unheralded and rarely look for recognition. Their generosity taught me to appreciate the spirit of giving. The past two years has also taught me to be more realistic about my expectations. I had envisioned that all that I had wanted to accomplish would be easy to complete. However, I soon learned that being Temple President was more complicated than I had anticipated. It was a valuable lesson in the importance of remaining positive when dealing with the complexities of a large organization. More importantly, I am grateful for the support you gave me during my two year term. The recognition that I was not alone in my endeavors and others were always there to help was an extremely positive experience. We, as a congregation, can be proud of all that we have accomplished. Our hard work is beginning to bring us dividends. More members are actively participating in Temple programming and getting involved in our committees. Young families are participating in the special programs geared toward their children. Our Early Childhood Community continues to grow. Saturday morning service has become an integral part of our worship experience. Friday night Shabbat service has effectively integrated music into the fabric of prayer. These changes, and others to come, will translate into Temple Emanu-El continuing to be a viable connection to Jewish life in our community. Congratulations Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning Graduates: Class of 2015!

Our neighborhood food banks thank you for sharing your food with the hungry because… Now more than ever, EVERY CAN COUNTS! • Sivan/Tammuz 5775 DIRECTLY TO YOU: News from the ECC WHERE OUR EXPERIENCE PROVIDES YOUR CHILD WITH THE BEST EXPERIENCE Once again, our Young Master’s Art Show was enjoyed by all of our families. With art projects created throughout the year, the growth and development of the children, as well as their creativity, were reflected throughout the building. With our annual Shalom celebrations taking place, another school year is coming to a close. Many of our children have been with us from “womb to room” thereby becoming an integral part of our Eileen Brand Early Childhood Community. I know the experiences in our school have given the children the confidence and tools for success in their future education. Spring has finally sprung! Rabbi Kalfus joined our Jungle Room green house to help with spring planting. A picture is worth a thousand words. Enjoy these photos. Day camp will begin on Monday, June 15th. Our Camp Run About campers will enjoy fun in the sun with water play, outdoor play, Moon Jump, and Farmer John and his farm animals. Camp Get-Away children will enjoy weekly field trips, swimming at the Jewish Center and special performances by Ben Spitzer and Paula Doak, among others. I wish all dads a happy and relaxing Father’s Day. The following may give you a chuckle or two, but also food for thought: 4 years: My Daddy can do anything! 7 years: My Dad knows a lot…a whole lot. 8 years: My father does not know quite everything. 12 years: Oh well, naturally Father does not know that either. 14 years: Oh, Father! He is hopelessly old-fashioned. 21 years: Oh, that man-he is out of date! 25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much. 30 years: I must find out what Dad thinks about it. 35 years: Before we decide, we will get Dad's idea first. 50 years: What would Dad have thought about that? 60 years: My Dad knew literally everything! 65 years: I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more. Anonymous Be sure to give your child an extra hug today.

Starting with seeds, we grow a wide variety of vegetables and flowers which are donated to the senior citizens living next door to us. Many of the recipients are elderly Russians who remember a lifestyle of growing their own produce in the Soviet countryside and the community garden gives them a welcome opportunity to eat fresh and organic once again. In fact, the garden produce is so anxiously anticipated, that much of it is “self-harvested” before the garden crew can get to them! This past year’s youth group instruction focused on the farm to table food cycle (or lack thereof) in our Detroit area. Many speakers, discussions, activities, and field trips centered on this theme. Inspired by one speaker, our youth group decided to build a compost bin to enhance our garden soil and encourage recycling of appropriate scrap foods from Temple functions. A truly inspiring article on our youth’s commitment to helping can be found at myjewishdetroit.org/2015/05/earth-bound-and-eco-friendly/ In honor of Earth Day, all of our Temple Religious School students coordinated efforts to prepare the eighteen beds for planting. With the addition of a new gro-light system for starting seeds in the Temple basement, and an anticipated new irrigation drip system in the beds, the garden crew is psyched and ready to grow. We are always looking for like-minded members to join us on Sunday mornings as we take care of the garden together from 10 AM to noon. With or without experience, it is – quite simply – a lot of fun. MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO. Come join us. For further information, contact Phyllis Meyers at 216-509-5667 or Deb Renner at 313-320-4376. Earth-Bound and Eco-Friendly Teens Go Green at Temple Emanu-El Article reprinted from myjewishdetroit.org By Carly Sugar, Youth Director, Temple Emanu-El Traditionally, Jewish Religious School has an intellectual focus. Focusing exclusively on the intellectual, however, can leave students a step removed from their individual interests and their personal Jewish journey. For most young adult students at any given Jewish congregational school, attendance is reluctant and, for some, it’s downright involuntary. “My parents are making me,” or “So I can put it on my college application,” or “So I can get confirmed, whatever that means,” are common responses to the question “Why are you here?” Very seldom do students arrive with the eagerness for learning that comes from actually wanting to be there. Carly Sugar (Youth Director/Young Adult Educator), Samantha Katz, Sarah Finegood (both 11th grade) Getting down to earth At Temple Emanu-El, Rabbi Arturo Kalfus enlisted Director of Congregational Learning, Sue Salinger, and Youth Director, Carly Sugar, to build a new post-B’nai Mitzvah curriculum – from the ground up. Through a Jewish lens, students have spent the year examining societal systems which have created vast injustices worldwide. Learning to ask tough questions while struggling with the discomfort of how these systems benefit or oppress them, the group has become more aware and concerned about the issues around -10- Temple Emanu-El Bulletin • June-July 2015 • Sivan/Tammuz 5775 common resources- clean water, clean air, sustainable energy, healthy food, the accessibility of these resources for all – issues that are ultimately of environmental and social concern to everyone. Moreover, they have explored ways to take action. “It’s been a great experience learning about these issues…along with the potential that we have to make a change,” said 11th Grader Samantha Katz. Finding a practical solution On a cool and rainy Sunday in April, students of Temple EmanuEl’s Young Adult Program gathered at Great Lakes Landscape Design, in Oak Park, to build a compost system for the Temple as their final project for the year. A student-conceived and student-led project, the three-bin system will serve to convert food, paper and yard waste into “black gold” to enrich the Temple garden, while standing as a model for the community to practice the mitzvah of becoming Shomrei Adamah – guardians of the Earth. Leaders on the project: Constructing the compost bin at Great Lakes Landscape Design, Carly Sugar and Sam Katz pair up on building a section The concept of composting for the congregation grew from the unit of study on Adamah (Earth), where students explored their local food system, its unsustainable techniques, and greener alternatives. When Ty Petrie, an expert on compost in Detroit, joined the class to share his knowledge, the students decided to approach the Temple’s Board of Directors to propose building a compost system on Temple Emanu-El’s grounds. “If we don’t do this, no one will,” remarked 11th Grader, Sam Hurwitz. Taking ownership, taking charge From start to finish, the class organized and directed the process of their compost project. Students chose their roles and responsibilities, each according to their interest in research, curriculum development, design and building and project organization. Sarah Finegood, 11th Grade student and President of Temple Emanu-El’s NFTY chapter, presented the class proposal to the Temple’s Board of Directors. The Board’s approval was all the positive feedback the students needed to spark their excitement and confidence to move the project forward. “Seeing these students take complete ownership of a project, from conception to execution, and watching them learn from a place of individual purpose has been remarkable,” said Carly Sugar. “Learning happens here through letting students take some measure of control of their own learning process, and they are inspired.” A visit to the Detroit trash incinerator with EMEAC (East Michigan Environmental Action Council) was another influential experience. Students were surprised to learn that the country’s largest solid waste incinerator is in Detroit. EMEAC representatives and youth discussed with our students how the incinerator negatively impacts our environment and the health of residents living nearby. Stepping out of the classroom, into the world This youth-led compost initiative is just one example of how to build skills and knowledge through hands-on work, which contributes to feelings of empowerment and ownership, and creates deeper participation and engagement. This year, students have explored Jewish issues of sustainability in a four-world’s model: earth (body), water (emotion), fire (intellect) and air (spirit/imagination). From visiting experts teaching seminar-style, to exploratory trips into Detroit’s communities working for change, to direct hands-on projects, this year’s students are active in a whole new way for Temple Emanu-El. “We introduced students to as many contemplative practices as time allowed this year,” said Director of Congregational Learning Sue Salinger. “We see that our over-scheduled, performance-driven students need a release, a skill set that can allow them to rest in the midst of their high-speed, always-on lives. Jewish meditation, attention to Kavannot (intention) in daily life, and art as a practice of self-awareness building are all part of what an engaged Judaic curriculum can offer.” Temple Emanu-El’s Young Adult Program hasn’t cracked the code on engaging this overscheduled and over-stressed post-Bar Mitzvah set. They are making strides, however, by incorporating student-led project-based-learning activities, guest speakers and facilitators, and contemplative and experiential learning modalities. In a world burdened with problems of overwhelming speed, Temple Emanu-El’s Religious School looks not only to ancient Jewish wisdom, but also to its students’ interpretations of it. This group of students is helping the Emanu-El community learn the meaning and action behind our favorite Hebrew phrase: tikkun olam.
