President’s Message
Judaism and its religious traditions? Is it time for us to consider
our own “big tent”? I think so….
Speaking of our next rabbi, we have, as you now know, formed
the Rabbi Search Committee and the process is under way.
Our Executive VP, Ed Hershfield, chair of the committee, will
lead this exceptional group through the process. Stay tuned
for opportunities to “weigh in” and share your views, as every
member is an important person in our kehillah, our community. I
encourage you all to take part in the focus groups being organized
by the Rabbi Search Committee. Let your voices be heard.
My very best to a wonderful and thoughtful community,

COMMUNITY
Religious School
Here we go again! It’s that time of the year, when we finish reading the Torah, that famous five-volume Book of Moses all wrapped
up in one scroll. Then, immediately after finishing it, we begin again, reading it, teaching it, and learning it right from the beginning! As a Jewish educator I love this, but how is it that this does not become boring, stale, redundant?
There is no clear-cut answer to this question, but I am convinced that it is impossible for the study of the exact same words of Torah
to be a dull experience for anyone. I often remind students that while the words of each weekly Torah portion are the same as last
year’s, the students themselves have changed from the year before. I think that this is a wonderful way for teachers and parents to
empower their children to take some ownership of their education and nurture them along the path of becoming lifelong learners.
Of course, great teachers are always able to find new ways of approaching the same subject, and so much of the success of our
educational program is to their credit. I feel fortunate and blessed to be working once again with an amazing group of teachers,
who daily demonstrate their capacity to learn, to teach, and to share new insights with others. I want to thank these teachers for the
ways in which they support and grow the Jewish educational experiences for our Temple Israel children and their families:
Joy Almekies (Kitah Bet, Kitah Vov, Havurah Leader); Shoshana Czik (Rosh Hodesh It’s a Girl Thing Leader); Cantor Steven Dress
(Kitah Vov and Tefilah consultant for all grades); Barbara Fine (Kitah Hey, Kitah Zayin, Telem Gesher, reading specialist); Rabbi
David Finkelstein (Kitah Vov/Zayin Intensive); Elaine Glick (Kitah Gimel, Kitah Dalet, Kitah Dalet Enrichment, Kitah Hey, Kitah
Hey Int/Enr, Havurah Leader); Jill Grasfield (Gan); Simmie Hefetz (Kitah Gimel); Rina Holtzman (Kitah Bet, Kitah Hey, Kitah
Vov, Kitah Zayin Hebrew Elective, Havurah Leader); Cindy Kaplan (Kitah Zayin Art Elective, Art Specialist, Telem Gesher); Paula
Lawless (Special Needs Consultant); Maureen Mintz (Kitah Vov Midrash/Drama Elective); Debbie Moukit (Music Specialist); Leah
Sherman (Kitah Vov Cooking Elective); Sharon Weinberg (Kitah Aleph, Hebrew Reading Enrichment Specialist, office support);
Jesse Wolf (Shevet Achim Boys Rosh Hodesh Group Leader); Shayna Yarmush (Kitah Gimel, Kitah Dalet).
This year, too, we will have the added insights and teachings of Rabbi Leslie Gordon, Rabbi Ed Gelb, and many others who will be
on deck to help us see Torah in new and meaningful ways. Recently, Cantor Dress reminded me that the Torah is a sign of God’s
love for the Jewish people. It is our lasting legacy, our gift, a treasure, a “tree of life” to sustain us for generations, and it is full of love
and learning. In fact, when you connect the last letter of the Torah (which is a lamed ‫ )ל‬to the first letter of the Torah (a bet or vet
‫)ב‬, you get the word lev, which means heart ♥.
And so, off to another of year filled with much promise, hope, and most of all, a great love of Jewish learning!

Hertz Nursery School
Our Hertz education team embraces the Reggio ideal
pictured here, and strives to encourage children to follow it. Woodland Wilderness and outdoor play is a strong
component to this philosophy. Not always easy to do, but
healthful for all!
Hertz enjoyed the holiday season with a harvest hayride
at Ward’s, Woodland Wilderness sukkah building, and
looking at an unrolled Torah and ending the Five Books of
Moses to begin again. We are excited to be back to Bereishit (Genesis)!
Sunday, November 2, Hertz is hosting an open house
and free concert featuring “Small Singers and Shakers,”
10:00am - 12:00pm. Face painting and arts and crafts will
be available. This program is open to the entire community, and ends in time for parents to join Temple Israel’s
Knowvember Fest.
Sunday, November 9, Hertz joins Sisterhood for the first
time in offering children’s clothes and toys for the indoor
yard sale (formerly the rummage sale). This is going to be a great joint venture. Donations can be placed in plastic bags on the loading dock marked “children’s” beginning November 3.
Friday, December 19, Nursery Shabbat and Chanukah celebration with dinner! All are welcome to this special young children’s
service.
Registration is open for our Jump Start program. Jump Starts begins January 6, 2015, and your child must be 2.9 years by this date
to participate. The class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00am-12:00pm. Send in your contact info and we’ll get you registered. All programs for 2015-2016 are available for early registration. Download a registration form and save your space NOW

Sisterhood
As the colors of fall are brightening, we continue to turn up our
efforts to bring you relevant and meaningful programming that
focuses on building community. We invite you all to join with
our Sisterhood to meet new friends and enjoy old ones.
After Labor Day, we welcomed our old and new sisters under
the stars of Lake Massapoag for our opening event, Sip, Sunset
and Schmooze at the Massapoag Yacht Club. It was the perfect
girls’ night out with delicious sangria, fabulous food, and great
conversation. Thanks to Ilene Greenwald for chairing this
fabulous event.
Most of us have grown up hearing the click of the Mah Jongg
tiles, but many haven’t had the opportunity to learn. Sisterhood,
in conjunction with Hadassah, has sponsored a series of classes
for Mah Jongg Maven Wanna-bes. Thanks to Ilene Greenwald
and Amy Freedman for organizing this fun class!
We are excited that our Lunch and Learn Program began a
new semester and we welcome our new instructor, Rabbi David
Finkelstein of Temple Beth Israel in Waltham. Thank you to
Millie Hoffman for continuing to coordinate this program.
Our Fall Sisterhood Membership Dinner was totally rad!
Deliciously retro, we had a great time travelling down memory

Zamir Chorale of Boston to Perform at Annual
Sandra Gamm Memorial Concert
An afternoon of music that spans thousands of years, four continents, and
a variety of styles will be heard starting at 4:00pm on Sunday, November
23, when the Zamir Chorale of Boston performs at the annual Sandra
Gamm Memorial Concert. Held to honor the memory of Sandra Gamm,
the concert is sponsored by the Sandra Gamm Memorial Fund for Music
and the Creative Arts, and is organized by Temple Israel’s Cultural Arts
Committee and Hazak.
Founded in 1969, the Zamir Chorale of Boston’s mission is to serve as a
“musical and educational organization dedicated to raising awareness of the
breadth and beauty of Jewish culture through performances, recordings,
symposia, publications, and musical commissions.” Zamir’s repertoire
includes Jewish liturgical pieces, major classical works, music of the
Holocaust, newly commissioned compositions, and Israeli, Yiddish, and
Ladino folksongs.
Comprised of experienced volunteer singers, Zamir has achieved a
widespread reputation through its concerts and recordings. In addition
to the devoted following that it has developed in the Greater Boston area,
Zamir has performed at venues throughout the United States, Europe,
and Israel. Zamir’s 1999 tour of Eastern Europe was the subject of the PBS
documentary Zamir: Jewish Voices Return to Poland, which was broadcast
on public television stations and shown at film festivals throughout the
United States. Its performances in Israel included appearances with the
Jerusalem Symphony and Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Zamir Chorale of Boston is led by Joshua R. Jacobson, its founder and
artistic director. One of the foremost authorities on Jewish choral music
and a past recipient of the Cantors Assembly’s prestigious “Kavod Award,”
Dr. Jacobson is Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities at
Northeastern University, and Visiting Professor and Senior Consultant in
the School of Jewish Music at Hebrew College. More than one hundred of
Dr. Jacobson’s choral arrangements, editions, and compositions have been
published and are frequently performed by choirs throughout the world.
Concert admission reservations can be made on the Temple’s website at
www.tisharon.org/ZamirBoston or by mail to the Temple office.
Reservations and/or payment made on or before November 17 will be $12
for adults and $10 for seniors and students. Reservations and/or payment
made after November 17 and “at the door” will be $18 for adults and $12
for seniors and students. Concert patrons who support the Sandra Gamm
Memorial Fund with a $36 donation as a Friend of the Fund will receive
two preferential seats (additional seats may be purchased for $10 apiece) and
listing in the concert program. Please make payment to Temple Israel, with
Sandra Gamm Memorial Concert as the memo. Payment or reservation will
serve as admission to the concert; tickets will not be issued.

Tiferet Center
Adapted from an article written in 2010, Imagining a Jewish
Center for Spirituality, Wellness & Healing at Temple Israel for
the Larger Community: Looking Back and Forward
For several years now, along with other friends and colleagues, I
have dreamed of creating a special collaborative Jewish resource
and learning center. This center would gather wonderfully
talented and creative teachers across the Jewish denominational
spectrum and support their efforts of integrating Jewish
teachings and insights into their professional work in the
healing, health, and wellness fields. It would also allow the
reverse; that is, providing opportunities for Jewish clergy
and Jewish educators to focus on themes relevant to health,
wellness, and healing. Thus, the center would allow crossfertilization and a genesis of a new framework for secular and
religious professionals dedicated to serving the needs of Jewish
soul seekers. The center would blaze meaningful pathways for
Jews of all ages and life stages wanting a supportive and safe
space to explore the varied and creative ways that Judaism
can bring greater meaning, health, and healing into their own
personal lives.
remain connected to our wonderful community and beautiful
traditions. Once you provide the requested information, we
will include your children in our mailings for this year.
The deadline for the next mailing is November 22. Please send
the information as soon as possible for the Fall 2014 semester.
Please notify the office or send an email to koach@tisharon.org
if a student’s address changes during the year or if their study
abroad plans change. Please note that we are unable to send
packages to students studying abroad due to high postage costs,
and that this program is for children of Temple Israel members
only (no grandchildren, sorry).
the Tiferet Center programming aims to bring light, renewal,
balance, and meaning to our lives. It is a place of connection,
for meaningful relationships between Jewish soul seekers in
our community, between mind and body, for the integration of
Jewish wisdom and Torah with personal wellness, healing, and
healing approaches, and for finding inspiration on our personal
life journeys.
Please join us any time for our drop-in Shabbat morning
mediation and poetic text study from 9-10am, as well as our
other programs and events:
• Shabbat Torah Table, every two weeks at Kiddush, cosponsored with the Adult & Family Education Committee;
• “Be the Change You Wish To Be in The World,” a 5-part
series with Rabbi Yitzi Weiner on Thursdays, Nov 20, Dec
4, Dec 18, Jan 15, and Jan 29 at 7:45 pm;
• “Living the Life of Jewish Meditation,” a special mediation
and book signing with guest rabbi and author from France,
Rabbi Yoel Glick, with a special Meditation Shabbat (Nov 8,
9am) and motzei Shabbat event (Nov 8, 7pm). Rabbi Glick
will be leading the Shabbat morning drop-in meditation at
Temple Israel; the motzei Shabbat event will be at the Cetlin
