Summertime
on the Balcony
BY RABBI DAN LEVIN
DLEVIN@TBEBOCA.ORG
At the end of May, Aimee and
I celebrated our 20th wedding
anniversary. As we do each year, we
pull out the wedding album and look
at all the pictures of our family, the
celebration, and that wonderful day.
One of my favorite pictures in our
wedding album is a photograph of the
Horah taken from the balcony in the
ballroom. I love the perspective that
picture affords of the celebration from
above. My entire experience of our
wedding was on the dance floor – you
see things differently from the balcony.
You see the patterns of the dance,
you see how everyone has chosen to
participate, and most importantly, I
get to see myself from a completely
different perspective.
Jewish life in our synagogue and
our community is amazingly vibrant.
I love the spirit of our congregation,
and the energy that comes from our
celebration of Shabbat, holy days,
life-cycle events and daily Jewish
living. But as much as I love how
we study and practice Judaism at
Temple Beth El, I look forward with
great anticipation each year to our
congregation’s trip to Israel.
There is something different about
the energy in the land of Israel.
Walking through the narrow streets of
the Old City of Jerusalem, touching the
ancient stones of the Temple mount,
hiking the “snake path” on my way up
Masada, and excavating a basement of
a house from more than two thousand
You can’t see everything from the dance floor –
you’re simply too involved in the dance.
But time on the balcony offers an opportunity to see things
differently and to ask: “what’s really going on here?”
Drs. Ron Heifetz and Marty Linsky of
the Kennedy School of Government at
Harvard note in their book Leadership
On The Line how important it is for
leaders to get off the “dance floor” and
get up on the “balcony” from time to
time. You can’t see everything from
the dance floor – you’re simply too
involved in the dance. But time on the
balcony offers an opportunity to see
things differently and to ask: “what’s
really going on here?”
years ago connects me with the
amazing ancient history of our people.
Sharing Shabbat with members of
Kehilat YOZMA, our sister Reform
congregation in Israel, feeling the
energy of the shops and restaurants
along the coast in Tel Aviv, traveling
through the Golan and Galilee all help
me better understand who I am as a
Jew today.
A visit to Israel, no matter where you
are in life’s journey, is a transformative
event. Getting away from home to our
ancient and modern homeland takes
you up on the balcony to help you see
yourself and your relationship with
the Jewish people from a completely
different perspective.
In addition to leading our
congregation’s trip to Israel, I am
extremely grateful to Temple Beth
El for providing time for me to take
a sabbatical this summer. For the
first time in my eighteen years in the
rabbinate, my sabbatical will provide
me time to get off the dance floor and
onto the balcony of my own life.
I will use my time this summer to
read the many books I’ve stacked up
next to my bed that I haven’t had the
opportunity to read. I hope to use
this time to engage in some writing
projects that I have never had the time
to pursue. I also look forward to using
this time for some needed study. All of
these projects I hope will inspire me to
see our congregation, and my role as
your rabbi, from the perspective that
only time on the balcony can afford.
I am confident that Rabbi Brockman
and Rabbi Weisman will take good care
of Temple Beth El in my absence, and
I look forward to sharing what I’ve
learned when I return after Labor Day.
I hope we all can take a little time this
summer to get off the dance floor, and
try to reflect on life’s journey from a
new perspective.

A MESSAGE FROM PATTY BECK
LET’S TRAVEL TO ERETZ YISRAEL
Temple Beth El President
Patty Beck in Israel
My first visit to Israel was in 1989 when Louis and
I took our three children on the Temple Beth El
mission led by Rabbi Merle Singer. I remember
the awesome feeling I had as I stepped off the
plane and set foot on the tarmac at Ben Gurion
Airport. I WAS HOME! I was going to see all of the
sights I had heard my grandparents speak about.
My great-grandparents are buried on Mt. Scopus
and I would try to find their graves. My uncle had
written several books about the history of the Jews
and, A Host At Last, about Israel’s statehood. Israel
had always been part of our family.
I have taken five subsequent trips to Israel
and each time that same feeling of being
home comes over me when I feel the plane’s
wheels touching the Israeli runway. As I walked
in Mea Shearim (one of the oldest Jewish
neighborhoods in Jerusalem), I knew that my
Orthodox great-grandparents walked those
same paths during their lives. Standing many
times at the Western Wall and praying, I know
I am standing on the shoulders of those who
came before me. Now, our son and daughterin-law-to-be live in Jerusalem. Our son, Steven,
works for IRAC (the Israeli Religious Action
Center) helping to achieve pluralism for
all Israeli citizens. Once again, we see how
important Israel is in our lives and how we can
help our Israeli brothers and sisters.
L’Dor V’Dor, we are now planning to take
our grown children and three grandchildren
to Israel with Rabbi Jessica this coming
December. We will see new sights and
experience Israel through the eyes of the next
two generations. Israel is our homeland and
we must pass down to the future generations
the importance of learning and supporting
the land that our forefathers fought so hard to
establish. We would love to have you join us
as we travel to Eretz Yisrael in December!

ON ARI SHAVIT AND HIS BOOK
My Promised Land
R A B B I J E S S I C A S P I TA L N I C B R O C K M A N
The week Israeli Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon slipped into a coma an article
about him was published in The New
Yorker. The timing is remarkable
because the interview with Sharon
took place before, but the article was
published after he fell into the coma
in 2006. The content of the article is
brilliantly crafted and eloquently written
and when it became clear earlier this
year that Sharon was nearing the end
of his life, I looked up the article and
was surprised to see the author is Ari
Shavit. Shavit, our speaker for Selichot,
created a buzz this year in the Jewish
world with his book My Promised Land.
A detailed and beautifully crafted look
at the creation of the Jewish state and
modern Zionism, it will be a powerful
and purposeful way to experience
Selichot, the Saturday night before
Rosh HaShanah, and enter the High
Holy Days reflecting with Shavit on
the meaning of the Jewish state in the
course of Jewish history and in our lives
today. Israeli-born Shavit is an eloquent
and purposeful reporter for the Israeli
newspaper Ha’aretz and we are offering
two opportunities over the summer to
reflect on the book and its message.
Whether you read the book or not, take
advantage of these opportunities to
reflect and join us for Selichot with Ari
Shavit on Saturday, September 20, 2014.
In preparation
for Shavit’s
visit there
will be two
opportunities
to discuss the
book.
Copies will be available

the destruction of the Temple

how historical events –ancient

Greetings from Israel!
BY LO R I S H A P I R O
I’m so excited to have finished my second year of the
Cantorial Certification Program at Hebrew Union College
(HUC): I’m halfway there! This past year our focus was on
the High Holy Days, both the music and liturgy. I also took
classes in Midrash and Mishnah, Pastoral Counseling, and
Music Education. I’ve also been studying Modern Hebrew
weekly. Yes, indeed, it has been a challenging, but very
rewarding year!
On July 3, I depart for my HUC Summer in Israel program.
I will be studying Hebrew in an Ulpan (language immersion
program) 4-5 hours a day. I’m thrilled to also be taking a
class called, “The History of Israel Through Music” where
I will study Israeli modern history while at the same time
learning about Israeli composers and singing their music. The
highlight of my trip will be spending Shabbat on the beach
in Tel Aviv with Rabbi Brockman, who will be on the AIPAC
Rabbi’s Mission. It will be great to see Israel with my rabbi
and friend.
Lori Shapiro with Issy Block at her Bat Mitzvah in Israel in 2011.
I want to thank you, my beloved congregants, for allowing
me this time away to study and grow. I will miss you all but
I can’t wait to share all I’ve learned with you when I return.
It is a privilege to be your Cantorial Soloist and in two years,
your Cantor!

The theme of The Chronicle this month is about
travels to Israel, so I dug out the journal I kept
while my husband Mark and I traveled to Israel
on a Federation Mission trip 19 years ago. It was
the first time for both of us and I am so happy
that I took such detailed notes because reading
them caused me to feel like we were just there.
I remember this was not my first choice for a
vacation, but as my journal revealed, it was
“by far the most meaningful, educational and
spiritual experience of my life.”
For those traveling to Israel or elsewhere this
summer, I wish you a safe and meaningful trip.

I was fortunate to spend two summers in Israel
in the mid-1980’s immediately after I graduated from university. My Great Aunt Laika and
Great Uncle Moshe were pioneers who emigrated from Poland in the mid-1930’s to British
Mandate Israel. They lived at Kibbutz Usha
near Haifa and I spent several days working
with Moshe in the cow shed and dairy farm.
The sun was so hot and the work so hard I
remember filling my tray with food for lunch
in the cafeteria and still falling in love with the
communal life where each resident contributed
and benefited.
I reluctantly flew back home after those
summers, but the profound feeling of being
there has remained with me. I have seen first-
hand the necessity for a Jewish homeland and
of the hope, faith and optimism of a people
faced with challenges from inside and out but
who still believe, due to the foundation laid by
those pioneers, that peace and prosperity are
worth fighting for.
Speaking of prosperity, I want to thank the
Brotherhood EVP Andrew Zwick and the entire
Board for a successful 2013-14 year. Our
programming will pick up again in August with
our NFL Pick ‘Em Contest. Make a note now
to attend our golf tournament in October. Look
out for a new event in September — our Sports

Emerging Adults program. The 9 month remote
learning program will focus on Judaic studies,
organizational dynamics, experiential education,
and social psychology. Jules is excited to learn
from some of the best and brightest in the Jewish
Education field and apply her new knowledge to
her work at Temple Beth El.
In addition to studying at HUC-JIR, Jules has
also been selected to serve as a URJ Camps Senior
Service Corps member. “Jewish summer camp
played an integral part of my life as a teen and
young adult,” said Jules. “Serving as a member
of this elite group of Jewish youth workers will
allow me to share my love of camp and URJ
summer programs with the congregation.” For our
participation in this program, Temple Beth El will
receive $2,500.00 towards URJ Camps scholarship
funds. Stay tuned for some awesome camp events!
If you have any questions about URJ Summer
Camps or programs, please feel free to contact
Jules at Jwolfberg@tbeboca.org.
PASSPORT TO ISRAEL
BY J U DY L E V I N E , D I R E C TO R O F E A R LY L E A R N I N G C E N T E R
J L E V I N E @ T B E B O C A .O R G
The children in our Early Learning Center
went on an imaginary trip to Israel. With
passports in hand, they showed their
boarding passes to the ticket agent. When
they landed at Ben Gurion Airport, they
sang “Hatikvah”.
They followed their itinerary and one of
the cities they visited was Jerusalem. There they learned
about the Holy Temple that used to be there. All that is left
of the Temple is one of the surrounding walls – the Kotel, or
Western Wall. They wrote notes and placed them at the Kotel
that was in the classroom. They danced to the song “Mayim”
– which means water and “Achshav” – which is about going
now to the land of Israel.
Their travels continued… they visited a kibbutz, had
pita and hummus at the Israeli Café, participated in an
archeological dig, decorated flags, negotiated at the Shuk and
had Shabbat.
On the return trip, back to Temple Beth El, the children
shared what they liked best about Israel.

AT TEMPLE BETH EL, OUR PHILOSOPHY IS TO ENSURE
that anyone who wants to worship or obtain a Jewish education is able to join
our Beth El family, regardless of financial constraints.
This year Temple Beth El made it possible for every man, woman and child
who entered our door to become part of our family. As a congregation we
provided over $470,000 of financial assistance this past year. 296 families
received membership assistance, 175 children
received religious school scholarships, and 28
children were given aid for early childhood
education. We are extremely grateful to
each of you who made a contribution to
last year’s Annual Giving Campaign.
For more information on how to
contribute to Annual Giving, please contact
Eliza Prince-Atias, Director of Development,

There is no way to put a value on what our synagogue does. What is the value
of creating a new generation of young men and women who build their lives on
the bedrock of our people’s ethics and morals? Of building a community who take
seriously their commitment to repairing our broken world? Of providing a sacred
home where all can find comfort in troubling times? Priceless.
Sustaining Members, who pay above and beyond standard dues, allow us to
provide membership, religious school education and early childhood learning for all
who wish to participate. With their generosity, Sustaining Members make up the
difference between what we ask members to contribute in dues compared to the
actual cost it takes to run the synagogue. To give you an idea, standard family
dues for 2014-15 will be $2,120 while the actual expense to Temple Beth El is over
$4,500 per family.
This need remains pressing despite the recent, generous gifts made to the
Fulfilling the Promise Campaign which are restricted to future capital improvements
and enhancing the endowment.
To demonstrate our immense gratitude to our Sustaining Members,
Temple Beth El offers unique benefits for this generous
group. Please consider becoming a Sustaining Member or if
you are already, please think about stepping up a level.
For more information, or to become a
Sustaining Member, please contact Eliza

ANNUAL
GIVING
Each year we ask our congregation
to contribute to the Annual Giving
Campaign because at Temple
Beth El we always take care of
each other. With your continued
support, Temple Beth El will make
it possible for everyone who enters
our doors to become part of our
family by providing financial
assistance to members who cannot
afford our regular membership,
religious school or early childhood
commitments.
Remember departed loved ones
and friends in our Services and
Tributes for the Days of Awe –
2014/5775 booklet, used at both
Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur
Services. Listings are $25 each
and the amount you contribute
through the booklet will become
part of your total Annual Giving
contribution. You may also
contribute online at tbeboca.org.

YOUTH PROGRAM
Grades K-2
For our members, we’ve designed
our High Holy Days Youth Program
to give your kindergarten-2nd
grade students an opportunity to
participate in an enriching, handson experience while parents are
praying in the morning worship
service. This exciting program is
offered at Temple Beth El only, and
will start at 10:00 AM and finish
simultaneously with the morning
worship service on the first day of
Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur.
Children will participate in art
projects, stories, song-sessions,
snacks and Tefillah. This program
is not meant to replace the High
Holiday Days Young Children’s
service, but it is an additional
experience that will allow parents
to attend the adult worship services
at the Temple. Reservation forms
must be received by September 5
to ensure proper staffing and
group placements. There is a $5.00
contribution per child per holiday
experience. Students will be
grouped by age. Siblings will not
be in the same group unless they
are in the same grade level
at school.
COMPLIMENTARY
BABYSITTING
Ages 2-5
Complimentary babysitting for
children ages 2-5 is available at
Temple Beth El and FAU on Rosh
HaShanah evening (Temple Beth
El only), Rosh HaShanah Morning,
Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur
Morning. Babysitting starts and
finishes simultaneously with the
adult worship service. Reservation
forms must be received by
September 5 to ensure proper
staffing.

Frequent breakdowns. Sluggish email. Stalls and
slow startups. It’s not a pretty sight. And the
damage takes its toll in lost time, wasted money,
and hard work that goes up in smoke.
PJ Tech has been a proud partner of Temple Beth El
for 16 years. We built and maintain the network
that keeps things moving. TBE’s network works
because we do.
So if you’re ready to get up and running, and stay
that way, give us a call for a free assessment.

SPINACH AND VEGETABLE FALAFEL
WITH LEMON YOGURT SAUCE From Chez Gourmet
INGREDIENTS
2 ½ cups cooked chickpeas
Handful of chopped scallions
¼ cup diced red bell peppers
¼ cup diced carrots
2 tbsp minced onion
1 tsp minced garlic
2 eggs
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoons ground cumin
LEMON YOGURT GARLIC SAUCE
1/4 cup plain yogurt
Zest and juice of 1 small lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoons ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
1 cup chopped cooked spinach – well drained
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup flour
Vegetable oil, for frying
Salt and pepper to taste
½ tsp minced garlic
Chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS Sauté in a little vegetable oil the onions, carrots, garlic and
peppers briefly until softened and let cool. In a food processor, combine
the chickpeas, spinach, scallions, cumin, coriander, cayenne, parsley, eggs,
and lemon juice. Pulse to combine and season with salt and pepper. Do not
puree too smooth. The mixture should be coarse.
Add in the mixed vegetables, baking powder and 1/2 cup of the flour
and pulse to mix. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 -30 minutes.
Add a generous amount of oil to a large sauté pan and heat it over
medium-high heat until a tiny drop of the mix sizzles.
Meanwhile, form balls of the chickpea spinach mixture onto a plate
with remaining flour. Roll each ball on the floured plate and flatten a little.
Fry in batches of hot oil for about 3 to 4 minutes each side and drain on
paper towels.
FOR THE SAUCE Blend all ingredients together well and chill.
Serve the falafel on a bed of the cucumber salad with warm pita bread
and the lemon yogurt sauce.
