ahead:

1. Our Israel trip, unfortunately postponed due to the current tensions in the Middle East, has been rescheduled to a hopefully more peaceful time this spring. The trip is now set for March 11-22, 2015. While most of our original group is still interested in going at this new time, we’re also hopeful these new dates might afford others the opportunity to travel with us. 2. We have dedicated and opened our Hope and Healing Room. Located within our Temple Library, this room — designed like a cozy, intimate living room or den — will be used for a variety of pastoral meetings, classes and gatherings. The room is furnished through a gift from the Shelly Krizelman family, as a loving tribute to the life and legacy of his beloved late brother, Al Krizelman. We thank Betty Lee Rosen and the Beautification Committee for the room’s design and furniture selection, and the Temple’s Board of Trustees for approving the concept. 3. We will be expanding our Adult Education opportunities, to include greater opportunity for learning on Sunday mornings and on weekday evenings. In the fall, we will be offering a series of on-going discussions on “The Grown Up, Child-Like Questions We Still Have About God”. Next year, we hope to offer some evening discussions on the new High Holy Day Prayerbook, set for use in our congregation, and set for publication in the Reform Movement, for Fall 2015. 4. As we continue to expand upon our extensive Care and Concern efforts, to reach out to our congregants, we will be organizing an on-going series of “Congregational Conversations” to encourage greater communication within the walls of our congregation, and to better assess the sense of communal needs and concerns of our congregants as they pertain to the wider community. These gatherings will begin with the parents of the various grade levels of religious school, and then continue on to other groupings within our Temple family. 5. We will be offering some congregational day trips to a variety of places within a three-hour radius of Nashville. These sites may include the National Civil Rights Museum in Birmingham, or “Comparative Religion for Grown Ups” trips to various houses of worship in the Greater Nashville Community.

Martin Sir.......Vice President/Treasurer Joyce Friedman.......................Secretary

It’s a New Year. Consider joining us for any or all of these opportunities in the year ahead. Try something new, and renewing, in the coming months. My very best wishes to you and yours for a more peaceful world in the new year.

Get on Board “Apologize” – there it was. I could not overlook it. It was number one on the list. I did a double check to confirm the title of the magazine I was reading. Just as I had thought, I was not reading Reform Judaism Magazine, but Esquire, a magazine that I had read for years. The title of the article that was surprisingly relevant but initially seemed to be the least likely source of inspiration for an article in The View was “The Life List: 84 Things A Man Should Do Before He Dies”. (Since Esquire is typically read by men, I apologize for not degendering this politically incorrect title.) Even though the list contained in the article included a bonus “thing to do” -- No. 85 (“get Ralph Levy handsomer”), that suggestion is beyond my control and not worth addressing. Just as I found inspiration for my first article in The View as Temple president in the Biblical source of Ecclesiastes, it is only appropriate that I turn to Esquire, another ancient source, for this month’s issue, one which includes this year’s High Holidays. Although this source does not have a contemporary song recorded by The Byrds from words written by Pete Seeger, this article in the April, 2014 issue of Esquire magazine was equally impactful. (No, it was not the article in the same issue on “How to Swim Nude”.) When I started to read this article, little did I suspect that my eyes would gravitate to Item No. 1 on the life list of things to do – “Apologize”. As noted by the author, “apologize” isn’t a thing you will find on most “life lists”. I agree with that conclusion (as does my wife). The author notes that the things you would never think to put down on a list are often the hardest, the most worthwhile and the most pleasurable. These insightful words caused me to do a double take as I absorbed their meaning. (I subconsciously skimmed further down the list to No. 3 – “lose fifteen pounds without talking about it”. That “to do” item might be easier to accomplish than No. 1 – “Apologize”.) Jews typically have No. 1 – “apologize” covered – at least once a year at Yom Kippur, in which we apologize to God and to those who we have wronged during the past year – for both our sins and our omissions. However, I ask myself during the High Holy Days who can apologize for The Temple, an institution that can only act through its representatives, lay leaders who are selected annually by the members of the Congregation. That is an interesting question that to my knowledge our religion’s scholars have not addressed nor was this question answered in the Esquire article. Since no ancient answer exists to this question, I hereby exercise presidential privilege to apologize on behalf of The Temple to all Temple congregants for any acts or omissions that The Temple has committed or omitted during the past year. These “sins” could include words or actions of The Temple lay leadership, its clergy, professional staff and others in their capacities as representatives of The Temple. “For all these sins” of The Temple, I hereby apologize. By way of background, leaders of any organization must make unpopular decisions in the interest of the greater good. For members of a nonprofit organization, the stakes are even higher since its leaders are elected by the constituents that it serves – the organization’s members. For a religious nonprofit organization, the impact of the decisions made by its officers is magnified even further. Leadership must compare the short-term ramifications of a decision against its long-term benefits to determine if the decision is in furtherance of the common good of the organization. This is not an excuse for any decision – only the context within which any decision is made. Not unexpectedly, all decisions will not please all members of the organization. Now that I have given this unequivocal institutional apology on behalf of The Temple, I hope that each of you has a fulfilling and memorable experience during this year’s High Holidays. While attending services, remember the Esquire article, which in urging that we “give an honest try” to “apologize”, also reminds us of a very important benefit to this advice – “It just might make all the difference”. Happy High Holy Days.

The following joint statement appeared in both the Tennessean and the Observer and is printed here for your information.

Local imams and rabbis: We may be opponents; we need not be enemies To the editor: We, the undersigned, do not share a common vision for the Middle East.We do not agree politically, religiously, theologically or philosophically. We are on different sides of a many-sided conflict that threatens the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of all of us. What we do share, however, is a deep concern that our differences not alienate us one from the other. When dealing with the complexities and competing narratives surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is all too easy for us to demonize “the other,” whether that “other” be Muslim, Christian or Jew. When that happens, a Middle East conflict between Israelis and Palestinians becomes a global struggle between competing civilizations dividing us into an endless and fear-fueled war between “us” and “them” that yields to neither truth nor compromise nor reason. We are writing not to propose a solution to our differences but rather to stand together against the demonization of those who propose solutions to which we are opposed. Passion for one view is no excuse for lack of compassion for those who hold very different views. We may never agree, but we can disagree without dehumanizing one another. We can stand in solidarity with our respective peoples and their cause, and not hate those who stand against us. We can decry the rhetoric and actions of one side or the other without demonizing all Jews, Muslims, Christians, Arabs, Israelis or Palestinians. We may never find common ground, but we can stand together against the tendency within ourselves and our respective communities to deny the humanity of the other, and in so doing, lose our own humanity as well.

I remember spending summers at Camp Sabra, some time to ask her in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, and feeling less than in-love with the rustic, outdoorsy camp lifestyle that everyone around me seemed to adore. Every summer, I’d return home, crying and begging my parents never to send me to camp again. Though my own camp experiences left me a bit hesitant, when the invitation came for me to spend a few days with the Union for Reform Judaism’s Henry S. Jacobs camp in Utica, Mississippi, I jumped at the chance. I was curious to see how Jewish summer camp had changed after nearly 20 years, and I was excited to experience for myself the summer camp experiences my cantorial and rabbinic colleagues rave about summer after summer. With the support of both of our Rabbis, I decided to take a chance and drive the 6 ½ hours to Utica – 20 miles outside of Jackson, Mississippi – to determine if Jacobs Camp really was the ideal place to encourage our Temple kids to attend. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of peace and embrace that was truly remarkable. As I pulled into the drive, I saw children running back to their bunks, dripping wet from their trip to the swimming pool, with huge smiles upon their faces. I saw two staff members high-five each other, one congratulating the other on a successful morning program. The air was filled with positivity and the sounds of happy kids enjoying a typical day at camp. I was greeted warmly by Camp Director J.C. Cohen, who was excited to welcome clergy from The Temple. He introduced me to many of the staff members, including Kelly Kossar, Director of Education, who was my guide for the day.

about what makes this camp so very special, particularly to Southern Jews.Aside from the fun programming, she said that for some of these kids, the summers spent at Jacobs are the only opportunity they have to be a part of a larger Jewish community. Several children who attend Jacobs Camp come from very small Southern towns where they are the only Jewish family for miles around. If there is a synagogue in their town, it is small, with few other children; their ability to form friendships with other Jews is difficult if not impossible. They are also the only Jewish students in their schools, where they often feel misunderstood, unheard, and are sometimes teased or bullied by their peers for being Jewish.When these kids come to Jacobs, they feel as though they are finally surrounded by people who understand their Jewish background and culture. While they play sports, swim, learn, dance, sing, rock climb, pray, and so much more throughout the course of their time at camp, they form close friendships with their Jewish peers. More importantly, they develop strong, long-lasting ties to their Jewish heritage, Southern Jewry, and the Jacobs Camp community. As my two-day visit unfolded, I began to feel for myself the “Jacobs Camp Magic” that the campers, counselors, and staff had known about for so long. The kids warmly invited me to play yellow ball with them (who knew such a sport existed?), to sit by the pool, to lead them in the singing of Hatikvah during a morning learning session. I listened proudly as the kids chanted

e ythe blessing after meals and sang Noam Katz’s Oseh Shalom Jacobs Camp could so remarkably influence the lives of our own loudly and proudly at the end of evening prayer. I fumbled my steps alongside them as we learned two Israeli dances together, laughing at our clumsiness and encouraging each other to keep trying until our steps were correct. These kids were learning, and growing, and forming connections to their Judaism in safe, fun and engaging ways; they were creating ties to their Jewish heritage that will keep them involved in their faith for many, many years to come. Not only do the campers form an everlasting bond with Judaism, but develop a newfound pride in their Jewish backgrounds and in who they are as Jewish people. As the kids create Jewish identities for themselves, their resolve and commitment to Judaism is strengthened. They return home to their communities --large and small --and feel proud and excited about being Jewish; feelings they may not have experienced before heading to Jacobs that will undoubtedly remain with them throughout their lives. While driving back to Nashville after my all-too-quick stay at Jacobs, I couldn’t help but think about how a summer at

Temple kids. The beautiful camp grounds, plentiful activities and supportive, passionate camp staff provide so much more than a wonderfully fun summer for our students; they expose our kids to a Jewish community larger than anything they could ever experience here at The Temple. At Jacobs Camp our children could discover for themselves how sweet and fulfilling a Jewish community can be and return to our Temple family with a renewed enthusiasm for Jewish learning and involvement and with an appreciation for everything our own community can offer, spiritually, socially and otherwise.The “Jacobs Camp Magic”, the indescribable feeling these kids experience over the course of a summer at Jacobs, would undoubtedly stay with them all year long, for many years to follow. If the magic could work on this Cantor who once solemnly declared she would never return to summer camp again, who knows – it might work on your child, too!

FunFacts

Question: Did you know that Rabbi Isidore Lewinthal has the longest time of service of any senior Rabbi of Temple Congregation Ohabai Sholom? Fact: Rabbi Lewinthal served as Rabbi of the Congregation from 1888 until his death in 1922, which means that he served for some eight years longer than did Rabbi Randall M. Falk (1960-1986). In Rabbi Lewinthal’s New York Times obituary, he was referred to as “one of the most prominent Jews in the South”. Born and educated in Germany, Rabbi Lewinthal served as Rabbi at Temple Beth El in San Antonio, Texas for nine years before he moved to Nashville. On his leaving San Antonio, the San Antonio Light, lamented that with the departure of what the paper called the “genial rabbi”, “San Antonio loses one of its brightest literati”. The newspaper went on to congratulate the “good people of Nashville” for their good fortune in “selection of so ripe a scholar and so interesting a speaker to minister before the altar of their devotions”. While Rabbi: While he served as Rabbi, the membership of the Congregation dramatically increased and in addition, several significant things took place: • The Congregation became one of the first to adopt the new Union Prayer Book of the Central Conference of American Rabbis; • The sanctuary and religious school rooms were improved by the installation of a new organ and electric lighting; • Although Rabbi Lewinthal organized a post-confirmation class to foster continued religious training, the practice of boys becoming Bar Mitzvah was discarded in the early 1900’s only to be revived in 1950; • He upgraded the Religious School (then called Sabbath School) by enhancing the curriculum, initiating the payment of compensation to teachers and promoting the use of books to aid students in their religious education; • He supervised establishment of The Temple’s library (then called the Sabbath School Library); upon his death, he bequeathed his extensive library including its bookcases to The Temple (then called the Vine Street Temple), which then sent the Hebrew books to the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati; • He was involved in the greater community by actively participating in various organizations and by The Temple’s hosting of a local church while its renovation project was underway; on the second day of High Holy Days, he participated in services at one of the Nashville Orthodox congregations.

Important Information

Parking and Security for the High Holy Days Each year, congregants for High Holy Day services are greeted at The Temple by uniformed officers and professional parking attendants. Security this year will be provided through a combined effort of public and private personnel who are familiar with our Temple buildings and grounds. The usual procedures will be in place for security, traffic control and member safety. Please note the following very important items: 1. Leave for services earlier than usual in order to arrive in advance of service time. There are two entrances to The Temple. Drop-off is available only at the glassed-in-foyer entrance for those who need it. 2. Overflow parking will be available on the Belle Meade Plantation property . 3. If you park at the Plantation, we ask that you enter by way of The Temple parking lot but exit only from the Belle Meade Plantation exit on Leake Avenue following services. 4. The Temple driveway will be one way during our largest services. Please follow the posted signs that will direct you around the building. The traffic controllers will direct you as to where and how to park and exit. Please do not try to back into parking spaces, this causes traffic to back up. Your patience will be greatly appreciated! 5. Additional disabled & elderly parking will be available close to the building. Look for signs. 6. Please remember that our neighbors will likely be less critical of the traffic congestion if we park “on” the street rather than “in” their yards and/or driveways. Over the past two years the Belle Meade Police Department has towed cars blocking city traffic during services. BE WARNED, we cannot interrupt services to announce imminent towing.







A Reminder About Seating Sanctuary, chapel, and auditorium seating will be in place to accommodate over 1,200 members and guests to each of the services for the High Holy Days. As in the past, there are no tickets required for entry into the services, nor is there reserved seating. We ask your cooperation through the direction of the ushers and staff in helping to maintain the dignity and decorum of our services. Please help them by adhering to a few simple but very important rules: 1. You may not save seats in the sanctuary except for the driver while he/she is parking. If you wish to sit together, you may gather in the foyer and enter together or you may save a few seats in the chapel or auditorium. 2. Please do not leave empty spaces between you and the person next to you! It is critical that we fill all available seating so that everyone who wants to attend can be accommodated. 3. A special seating section will be available for the convenience of persons with physical disabilities. 4. No one may enter the sanctuary, chapel or auditorium when the congregation is standing. The staff knows when to seat latecomers. Entry will be through the auditorium and chapel doors only, so as not to disturb services in progress. 5.

Religious School

by Rabbi Michael Shulman

New Beginnings: Consecration at The Temple When I moved here in July, I had the opportunity to go through boxes of childhood things that I hadn’t seen in years. Photos, postcards, ticket stubs, elementary school art work -- it was like an archeological dig of my life. Two particular finds I was surprised to unearth were a mini Torah scroll and a giant picture mounted on cardboard. In the picture: row after row of ovals containing bow-tied boys and elegantly dressed girls in white. My consecration photo from the 1970’s (I look the same.) My mini Torah scroll had a beige cover with silver filigree -- I designed it myself and my mom stitched it together. So many memories flooded into my mind…the beginning of Sunday school at Fairmount Temple in Cleveland, Ohio, my teacher, Miss Silver, the hallways, the cavernous sanctuary. Consecration was one of my first Jewish memories. Our sacred task as a congregation and as clergy and teachers in our religious school is to create positive Jewish experiences for all of our children...experiences that will last a lifetime. We do this through fun, relevant and dynamic learning opportunities every week. We encourage strong connections among our students and families so that everyone can feel a sense of comfort and community when they are here. Most importantly, we strive to instill both Jewish competence and confidence in our children so that they can feel proud of who they are always. Consecration is one step along a child’s Jewish journey. Consecration is a true milestone Jewish event, and it is no coincidence that we celebrate this around the holiday of

Simchat Torah. This is a special day in the cycle of the year because it helps us to frame endings and beginnings in a meaningful way. Our tradition teaches that on Simchat Torah we end the reading of the Torah with the last chapters of Deuteronomy and then immediately begin the cycle again reading the first chapters of Genesis. At Consecration, we mark a similar new beginning, the beginning of a child’s formal Jewish education. We celebrate this momentous occasion as a congregation because each new student brings with him or her hope for our Jewish future. We rejoice with our families excited to reach this milestone in their family lives. Above all, we look forward to helping our Temple families build the next generation of our people. All families with 1st graders are invited to a family program on Sunday morning, September 21. Students and parents will prepare for consecration by exploring the Temple, singing songs and learning about our tradition that the Torah and its teachings are as sweet as honey. On Sunday morning, October 26, it’s Consecration time! We will take the all-important Consecration photo and the consecrants will receive their mini Torah scrolls. Afterwards, the entire Temple community will come together for singing, dancing and the very special unrolling of the entire Torah scroll, from beginning to end. Mazel tov to all of our Consecration families! May this new beginning become a memory as sweet as honey for you all.

Preschool

by Corye Nelson & Jan Huettner

Training Week Have you ever wondered what goes on when your child is not at school and teachers come for a week of inservice? The week of July 28th through August 1st was a week for reflection, planning, inter-actions, discussions, shopping, cleaning, organizing, and learning about subjects that ranged from supporting a child’s emotional well-being to resolving conflicts in the classroom. By concentrating on children’s rights and thinking together about how to approach a new curriculum, we were able to focus on becoming aware of the children in our classrooms and how they are capable, caring people, respected by the adults that surround them and able to explore their world, with time to reflect and absorb their environments. We were able to spend time organizing classrooms to set up interesting and challenging investigations for the children to explore as they entered new classrooms. The first day, there were different stations set up in the preschool “big room” so we could visualize new ways to present science, nature, math, music, and sensory play. Unique ideas were given for imaginary play, literacy and fine motor skills. Videos were presented and time was given to discussion about how to handle situations by strategizing with our new Pedagogista, Ms. Moon. A new mission statement was discussed and handed out that reflected daily values of promoting interdependence, approaching each other with reciprocal respect and permission to pause and reflect, while interacting with developmentally appropriate actions for ourselves and our individual ways of learning. One of the most interesting hand-outs included information about a practical guide to helping children resolve conflicts. Goals for the children were to learn to calm themselves enough to negotiate, to find words for their feelings, needs,

and wants, to agree to a mutually satisfying solution, to continue to play together and feel friendly or understanding, or to feel comfortable with the decision to end the play. For teachers the goals were to use calm voices, moving to children’s eye level, to model steady breathing and other calming techniques. Other teacher’s goals were to describe children’s feelings, paraphrasing their needs, wants, and hopes, to coach them in active listening techniques, and to allow enough time for a solution to be found. Some of the means to achieving these teachers’ goals were to resist leaping in with solutions, to allow silence and debate to happen. They were further directed to describe the children’s success at solving their conflict. Instead of saying, “Use your words,” we model for children specific words: “Say to your friend, I feel impatient and I want a turn soon.When can I have a turn?” Other information on nurturing relationships for social and emotional learning included “teacher-theater” with the children. This is a storytelling practice aimed at spotlighting recurring conflicts and inviting children to generate possible responses or conclusions. At the end of the week we had a security workshop with the Belle Meade Police on child safety when threatened by intruders. On Friday, Corye presented each teacher a special gift and a poem that highlighted their unique teaching styles and qualities. We are grateful to our parents for providing us with snacks and supportive encouragement during the week, to our fellow participants for a wonderful week and to Corye Nelson and Moon Bishop for their direction and guidance. We are prepared to begin the school year with renewed enthusiasm and many new things to reflect upon. Let the new year begin!
