RABBI LEBOW
LESSONS LEARNED FROM A HEAD WOUND AND A CRUSHED WRIST
I broke all of the bones of my wrist this past fall. Then I shredded all of the
ligaments connecting my arm to my hand.
I recommend it, you know, as a learning experience. Everyone should
try it.
WELCOME
NEW
MEMBERS
As in most Kabbalah (mystical Judaism), there is much to be leaned from suffering. Usually,
when things are great - health, wealth, family and job - most people never pause to consider
what life has taught them.
There's nothing like losing seven weeks of your year to recovery and rehab from surgery to
focus your mind on what really matters in life.
So, “Lessons to be learned from a head wound and a crushed wrist, in no particular order.”
Mindfulness and falling down the stairs:
Watch where you're going. Had I been living in the moment, as I crossed to the parking lot of a
condo building, I would probably have noticed the stairs that I subsequently fell down.
But I mean “living in the eternal now” as more than just “stay focused and pay attention
physically.” I mean there is a
certain sense of “mindfulness”
in life that is necessary to
spiritual, as well as physical,
health.
Next Board of Trustees Meeting:
February 7
9:30 a.m.
Bemis Conference Room
All members are welcome to attend.
Being aware of where you are
and living in that moment
(before you fall down the
metaphoric stairs of life) is a
sine qua non. The Bible
illustrates this well when God
says to Moses, “Come up on
the mountain and be there…”
It is an odd sentence. If Moses
were up on the mountain,
wouldn't he already be there? But
the point is clear. We are often physically but not spiritually present. We are there, but not
really. Our bodies are somewhere but our minds are elsewhere.
While I am walking, I am often obsessing over the past or worrying about the future. It was that
experience of not being totally aware of the eternal now that preceded my fall.
So let that be a lesson for me (or you, if you need such). Watch where you are going, because if
you don't you'll end up in the very worst place.

MESSAGE FROM RABBI BOXT
Shalom, Y’all!
In 2014 I stopped listening to one of my favorite bands, Pink Floyd. Growing up as the son of a
Deadhead, I distinctly remember being taught to love Pink Floyd and The Grateful Dead. Pink Floyd
stuck - until 2014. To this day, I will not forget why: Roger Waters, the lead singer and founding
member, is a supporter of the BDS movement. He is not just a supporter: he is the #1 celebrity when
it comes to supporting the BDS movement and speaking out against what he calls an “apartheid Israel.”
What is the BDS movement?
From the BDS Movement.net website: “The global
movement for a campaign of Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with
international law and Palestinian rights, was initiated by
Palestinian civil society in 2005, and is coordinated by
the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC),
established in 2007. BDS is a strategy that allows people
of conscience to play an effective role in the Palestinian
struggle for justice.”
At first glance, this may not seem so bad. Every nation/
people deserves to feel justice and that to feel their
struggle for justice is important, right? But instead of an
outpouring of support for the Palestinian people and their
struggle, the result is global vilification of Israel and her
government.
The Simon Wiesenthal website, a great source of information, explains why the BDS movement is hurting rather than healing:
“ Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS), this global movement is the tipping point of a war against Israel. It claims to
want to bring Israel to the negotiating table but, in reality, it seeks to bring her to her knees by demonizing the Jewish State as a
21st century apartheid regime.”1
From the BDS movement website: “For decades, Israel has denied Palestinians their fundamental rights of freedom, equality, and
self-determination through ethnic cleansing, colonization, racial discrimination, and military occupation. Despite abundant
condemnation of Israeli policies by the UN, other international bodies, and preeminent human rights organisations, the world
community has failed to hold Israel accountable and enforce compliance with basic principles of law. Israel’s crimes have
continued with impunity.”2
Please check out the Wiesenthal website for information on how to fight against this “campaign” to garner support for the
Palestinians. As a Jew, I yearn for the day when Israel can live in peace, with love and respect for all her neighbors, regardless of
religion or culture. However, I want those surrounding Israel to treat Israel with the same love and respect. The BDS movement
is one that does not help – rather, it hurts the chances for a true and real peace.
Let us pray and work hard for Israel, for all Jews everywhere, and most importantly, for all people!!
B’shalom,
Rabbi Boxt

The Voice of Temple Kol Emeth
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
This VOICE article is scheduled for printing after completion of my adult bar mitzvah. Below is a reprint of my
speech, which is my attempt to express appreciation to you, the congregation, for your support during my
presidency of our Jewish Home.
Moses says, according to the Torah, “Please, G_d, help me. I feel as if I am about to be stoned by the people.”
There are times when we all feel as if the decisions we make will create animosity among the members of the
tribe, but we must remember, as our community thirsts for water, sustenance or knowledge, that G_d is there to
bring us what we need to survive. That is the theme of my parasha which goes on to address Moses striking the
rock at Horeb with his rod to bring forth water that the people can drink.
I identified with this portion of Torah because I could relate to the worries Moses had
about satisfying the tribe and that his decisions would represent the best interests of the
community. Although I do not compare my tasks with those of a leader such as Moses,
we do need to celebrate the commitment and altruism exhibited by all our community
leaders, including current and past board members and presidents. We all work for the
good of the community weaving together the fabric that is Temple Kol Emeth. Do we
have disagreements? Do we, at times, throw the verbal stones at each other? I’m sure
this has happened once or twice in the past and will continue to happen periodically, as
we move toward a more involved and vibrant Jewish community.
We strive to be an all-inclusive community. As my experiences continue to grow, I see
this effort encompasses traditional Jewish families, single parents, interfaith couples,
multi-racial families, LGBT and many other non-traditional families. This community is
larger than what we experienced growing up, and definitely larger than what our parents
taught us to expect.
Isn’t that what Moses was doing as he lead the people out of Egypt to experience a new life in the Promised Land? He began by
breaking the bonds, physically and mentally, with slavery, and created new opportunities for future generations. At the same time, he
kept from being stoned by those of weaker mind or spirit, as he moved the process forward.
This brings me to the reason I decided to become a bar mitzvah as an adult. My belief that we must always strive to move the process
forward is something we do in the governance process of TKE. This is not restricted to the governance process but also includes my
personal aspirations. This is why I chose, with the urgings of other adult classmates, to include myself in the blessing under the tallit
(prayer shawl). Last month, I expressed my desire to measure up to what I expected from my daughter. So, as we demonstrated in
the L’dor V’dor portion of the service, I felt compelled to learn from Caroline and become a bar mitzvah as a celebration of my
Jewish heritage and beliefs.
My heartfelt adoration and thanks go to Caroline and Candy, as they have supported and inspired me through the bar mitzvah process.
I can’t say a big enough thank you to Lynnor Holder, Paula Wilson and Addie Schneider as they helped me learn Hebrew letters, the
prayers and my Torah portion. I must also thank each of you, the clergy, the staff and the congregants of TKE who inspired me to
work through this entire process.
When I was asked two years ago if I wanted to be on the slate as upcoming president of TKE, my initial response was that I didn’t
feel Jewish enough to fulfill the responsibilities expected of the leader of this great community. Although a couple of years late, I feel
now I am a step closer in achieving the level of knowledge that answers the trust that you have bestowed in me.
May each of you join me and my family in our celebration of TKE as our Jewish Home.
B’shalom,
Henry

“Being a Jewish

far and away the best ever! We
[…] made things for others and
talked about how important that is.
What a valuable message and what
a terrific program!

about each one.
He really

First Semester of Beit Noar*
(7th and 8th grade Judaics)
My son is enjoying the new format and comes home with lots to talk
about.
Parent of a 7th grader
She enjoys the conversational style. She often comes home sharing the
topics of discussion - which she used to not do in prior years. She enjoys
the ability to share ideas with her friends and teachers.
Parent of an 8th grader
I enjoy it more than previous years in Hebrew school. It presents themes
in a new way.
8th grader
I feel as if Beit Noar is a good way to spend the Sunday. While it may
not be the most fun’ time in the world, it is certainly interesting most of
the time and I enjoy the discussions that take place. What is working in
my opinion is the talks and the mostly interactive set up that occurs.
8th grader
I learned a lot about G-d this year and I have thought more about things
in different ways. I liked the day that our parents came in and we talked
about Jewish traditions […] it was very interesting.

CHILDREN’S MEMORIAL GARDEN
Great news! Funding for Phase 2 of the Children’s Memorial Garden is complete; and Gibson Landscaping has already begun
construction. Indeed, by the time you read this, construction of this part of the project should be completed and the site useable for
life cycle, preschool and religious school, youth group and adult programming events. There’s still much more to be done, and
more fundraising will be required to bring the project to its fruition; but very soon all of us can enjoy the Children’s Memorial
Garden. If you haven’t been to the site recently, or ever, please stop by. The Garden is located in front of the Doc Lebow Center.
What’s next? Raising the last segment of funding so that the inscribed brick floor of the amphitheater and the majority of the
planting can be done. There are several opportunities for donation, including naming rights to the three areas of the Garden: the
Garden of Remembrance, the Garden of Life and the amphitheater. We also need additional benches, trees and other plantings.
And we need your involvement.
The Garden’s construction continues because members of our Temple, including some of the original families, believe in the
project. And so should you. This is a site for quiet reflection, youth and adult programming, and a place to remember not only the
children we have lost but the children lost in the Holocaust. We can all help realize the dream started over a dozen years ago.
Please contact Janet Mills ([email protected]) for information about the inscribed brick program or Michael
([email protected]) and Carolyn Shapiro ([email protected]) for information on other ways to help. To learn
more about the Garden, please visit http://kolemeth.net/cmg.
We’re counting on your generous contribution to “help our garden grow!”

YOUTH & FAMILY PROGRAMMING
Our Mission: To provide a fun, safe, engaging Jewish youth community through experiential programs
that will create a strong Jewish identity that will guide our youth throughout their lives.
Hatikvah Kallah:
How it changed my life and led me to
making my life decision
Attending NFTY-SAR's Hatikvah Kallah was the best decision of my entire life as a
Jewish teen. That weekend was the first stepping stone to the most important aspect
of my life, namely my Reform community and family of NFTY-SAR.
I originally was terrified to attend the event.
Spending an entire weekend with strangers
seemed like the last thing I wanted to do as a
middle-schooler. I only knew one person
going. Both anxious, we attended the event
with reluctance and the belief that “being
Jewish isn't cool.” However, by the end of
the weekend, our minds were completely
changed. The event was jam-packed with
interesting programs and new enthusiastic
spirit from our Hatikvah Helpers (older
members of NFTY-SAR who volunteer to
help at the event). I had honestly never
experienced a time when I felt excited to be
a Jewish teen until this event. I made new
friends that I still keep in touch with and still
have my first-ever NFTY-SAR nametag that
hangs on the wall in my room, constantly
reminding me of this milestone event.
Since that first kallah, I have never missed an event. My last kallah as a senior will
be my 20th event with NFTY-SAR. Through my newfound passion and dedication
to our Reform movement, I became a KEFTY board member. Last year, I expanded
my leadership to the Regional Board as Social Action Vice-President, making me
the first person from KEFTY to co-direct Camp Jenny (the mitzvah corps project
for NFTY-SAR and NFTY-STR). This past year, I have had the honor and privilege
to serve as the President of the Southern Area Region.

Before my participation in NFTY, I was shy and afraid to be myself in front of
strangers. However, the programs and leadership teams have shaped me into the
vocal, passionate, caring teen that I am today, who adores meeting new people and
sharing my opinions. NFTY empowers teens to have open and honest interactions,
fundamentally based on our core values of inclusion and audacious hospitality. NFTY continually strides to allow teens to explore
themselves and our Jewish culture, while showing them how valuable and truly fun a Jewish community can be.

BOOBULAHS HIT LUCKY #7!
You’ve seen us on our training walks. You’ve bought our cookies and trinkets and B-, C- or D-cup balloons at Noshfest. You’ve
eaten with us at Red Sky Tapas and Chipotle. You’ve dropped your donations into our canisters at Bagelicious and on Evy’s desk
in the TKE office.
The BOOBulahs, TKE’s team doing the 2-Day Walk for Breast
Cancer, is gearing up for our seventh year! We’re very proud of the
many thousands of dollars we’ve raised – with your help! – over the
last six years, money used by walk organizer It’s The Journey to fund
breast cancer health initiatives and support systems across the metro
Atlanta area, funding everything from wig makers to mobile
mammography vans. That’s right: all the money ITJ collects for
breast cancer programs of awareness, treatment and research stays
local!
But our team efforts do more than raise money, although that is
obviously our primary reason for existence. As BOOBulahs, we have
developed a deep camaraderie built on trust and sharing and caring
deeply about the cause. We are each other’s staunchest supporters,
getting one another through the strains of the walk and sometimes
even through the fears of the disease itself and its effects. Some of us
have held tight since the team
first was created; others just
joined for the 2015 walk. No
matter: we are all sisters on
foot together.
Maybe it’s time for some of
you to start moving with us…
The 2016 2-Day will be held
on Saturday, Oct. 15, and
Sunday, Oct. 16. Starting from
the Marriott Marquis in
downtown Atlanta, there’s a
20-mile route through the city
on Saturday and a 10-mile
route on Sunday. But not to
panic! You needn’t walk the
full 30 miles! Some of us sign
up to do both days; some plan
to do only Sunday; some team
members work as volunteers
to help with the fundraising
side of it all. Every person and
every endeavor is important in moving The BOOBulahs forward,
figuratively and literally!
Whether you want to walk with us or volunteer to help us or be a
team sponsor or make a donation, contact Team Captain Bonnie
Harrison at [email protected].

KOL HORIM—VOICE OF THE PARENTS
My journey to being on the Board of Trustees started in 1999 when I decided to convert to Judaism. I was raised a “secular
Christian” in myriad churches, as I followed my father around the US and Norway during his service in the US Air Force. As a
young child, religious upbringing in my home revolved around Santa and the Easter Bunny. As a teen, I became highly involved
with church, mostly for the social aspect of the friends I found in that environment while attending seven different schools
between 6th grade and my high school graduation. As a young adult at the University of Florida, I found myself questioning my
beliefs: Was I spoon-fed my beliefs? What did I really believe? If I “believe,” why do I feel like a hypocrite? I had a lot of friends
who were Jewish at UF. One Hillel Shabbat led to another; High Holiday services were attended; an Introduction to Judaism class
was taken. Eventually, I realized that through the lens of Judaism I could look myself in the mirror and not feel like a hypocrite
each day. I decided to convert. I was actually a year into my conversion before Keith and I started dating - I’m sure that question
was on your mind! I completed my conversion in 2001 with Rabbi Gary Klein at Temple Ahavat Shalom in Palm Harbor, FL. We
married in 2003; and in January 2005, just one month after Rebecca was born, I became bat mitzvah with six other adults, after
completing a two-year adult education course which taught me to read Hebrew and understand the meaning of our prayers and
traditions and gave me a real sense of belonging to my greater Jewish community.
I am a product of some wonderful Jewish educational opportunities…all of which were presented to me by some of the great
Jewish people who loved their community and welcomed me into it! I think that is what drew me to TKE, wanting to share in the
leadership of this community as the Director of Education. This year we created Kol Horim: Voice of the Parents, your new
chavurah for parents of children in the Religious School. Meeting monthly, it’s a place for parents to connect with other parents of
school-age kids while participating in programs and activities that directly support our teachers and programs of the Religious
School. Please look for our meeting dates in the Voice: moms and dads are both welcome!
I look forward to getting to know more of you and hearing stories about your journey as we learn, support, and grow with each
other in our service to TKE, our Jewish home.

The Voice of Temple Kol Emeth
THE ONLY BLINDING LIGHT CONCLUSION
Rudy B. is a junior from Berkeley, CA. She is a member of Congregation Beth El in Berkeley, is active in NFTY-CWR,
and goes to Camp Newman. In April, she traveled on a pilgrimage to Poland with the Spring 2015 class. She writes
about her experiences.
Home
Now I sit, back in Kibbutz Tzuba, back in Israel, breathing in the blessing
of this country. Never in my life have I felt luckier to touch down in a
land that I can call the land of the Jews. Now, not only do I understand the
need for this country, but also the way it must have felt for the Zionists
who built it to know that there was finally somewhere safe. There is a lot
about this pilgrimage to Poland that I may not fully digest and understand
for years. However, I do consider it to be a pilgrimage nonetheless. This
trip was an essential piece in the formation of my Jewish identity, and I
feel proud to have made it through without losing faith in my beliefs. As I
think back on the past week, an image is recovered in my mind, one that I
do not really remember even taking in when I saw it originally. As we left
Auschwitz on our last day of the journey, the steps of an old Jewish man
were being filmed by a film crew, one step at a time. As he looked from
left to right remembering, I realized I was looking at a survivor. In this
moment, I am overcome with a sense of thankfulness, and I thank G-d for
the preservation of my people against all odds.
We have a week of midterms now before the Jewish holiday of Passover.
Pesach, in Israel, will take on new meaning for me this year as I
remember the oppression that we underwent in the land of Egypt.
Pharaoh, Hitler, and even anti-Semites today seem to misunderstand one
key detail - the Jewish people are a force to be reckoned with “because
with a faith regained, heaven is the only blinding light.”
FROM A BLOG BY RUDY B., NFTY-EIE , APRIL 2015 . REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION
FINAL BOARDING CALL FOR NFTY-EIE!
NFTY’s EIE High School in Israel is an accredited semester or summer-long program for Reform Jewish high school students in
grades 10 to 12. EIE offers an unparalleled opportunity to be immersed in the richness of the land, culture, people and history of
Israel, all while earning high school and college credit. Visit nftyeie.org to learn more or speak to Carol Lief in the Religious
School office.
“My mom had told me that the light was going to be different in Israel—and it was. There is
something about being in a country where the street signs are made up of the characters that you’ve
spent every Sunday of your youth memorizing, where the ruins along the side of highways mean a
deep and complicated history, and where the rolling hills symbolize much more than a fertile country
of crazy beautiful resources that made me feel instantly at home.”
