Service Streamed Live from Israel 10:30 am
As anyone who has been with a new baby will tell you, you can spend hours doing nothing but
stare at that cute little face. And while you are doing so, it is natural to start imagining what that

taneously with Hadara’s birth, which might also lead one to imagine what the future holds.
For instance, we have just learned of the killing of Osama bin Laden. A study has been released
indicating the ice in the polar regions is melting faster than has been previously thought. Last week there were more tornados in one day than ever before. We
are also facing a political impasse, as our government tries to manage the unbelievable deficits threatening to cripple our country. It is almost enough to despair
for the future.
The tendency among some in our country is to assume we are at the end of the world, and they are not only from neighboring religious traditions. On the one
hand, I can understand the appeal of thinking we are nearing the end. The accumulation of catastrophe in such a scenario would be a positive sign - the worse
the world gets, the closer we are to the end. Not only would the end of the world remove the overwhelming responsibilities we face, it also promises to bring an
existence full of peace and plenty.
Throughout the history of Judaism, there have regularly been people who predicted the end of the world - so many that the ancient rabbis ruled we are forbidden from trying to calculate exactly when the end of the world is to come. Rather, they tried to focus Jewish life on accepting responsibility and facing up to
problems. Those rabbis also faced great challenges and did not want the Jewish people to despair when great calamities befell them. Therefore, they endorsed the
ideal of a future where the problems of this world evaporate, but they knew that future was not one they would see themselves. They taught that although we will
not complete the task, nor are we free to desist from the work.
And so it is that we people of Israel continue to have children. They show that God is still hopeful that goodness will become incarnate in every human life. In
those moments after birth, we can imagine any possibility for that child - doctor, musician, athlete, scientist, even messiah. That moment, however, holds more
than just the open promise of that individual child’s life. It also holds the promise of the future world. We are taught at that time, the hearts of children will be
turned to their parents and the hearts of parents will be turned to their children. And so we face up to the difficulties this world presents us - for ourselves, for our
children, and for promise of a time in the future when all shall be set right again. <

Saturday, June 25 at 10:30 am • Covenant Chapel
Join us at The Temple for a special Shabbat service on Saturday morning, June 25. We'll host a live
video stream of the b'nei mitzvah from Israel. See our young members proclaim their place as
Jewish adults in our community and read from the Torah, live from the Jewish homeland.
Their service has been timed so it will coincide with our regular 10:30 am Shabbat service, right in
our Covenant Chapel. This exciting experiment is not to be missed, so we hope you'll join us and
help celebrate this milestone in the lives of these members.

Summer
Shabbat
Socializing
The weather is getting warmer, more or
less, and the calendar
is creeping into those
months labeled summer. That can mean
only one thing.
Summer Shabbat
Socializing returns!
Starting Friday, June
10, and running throughout the summer,
this annual tradition will feature drinks and
refreshments in our lobby every Shabbat evening before services. Worship is a sacred time,
but it's also a time of community. That's what
this is all about.
So join us at 5:30 every Friday to mingle
with other Temple members. Meet our staff.
Enjoy a little wine and snacks. It's the summer, after all. Kick back and enjoy it!

Book Club
The June Book Club will discuss the latest
title: The Three Weissmans of Westport by
Cathleen Schine.
This novel is a
perfect kick-off to
a summer of reading (right down
to the sand-filled
cover). This Jane
Au s t e n - i n s p i r e d
story follows Betty,
a 75-year-old recent
divorcee who ends
up in a Connecticut beach cottage with her
two daughters and a host of amusing, hilarious problems to go along with them.
According to Publisher's Weekly: "It's a
smart crowd pleaser with lovably flawed leads
and the best tearjerker finale you're likely to
read this year."
The Book Club meets at The Temple on
Tuesday, June 28, at 7:30 pm.

Zaban Closes Another Season
Z
aban Couples Center closed for residential services on April 30. This concludes the 27th season of providing programs and services to homeless couples in Atlanta. During the course of
the 2010-2011 season, we were able to serve 46 couples (92 individuals). Over 40% of those couples
were able to transition to permanent housing and that entire group was employed. During the
summer, ZCC will provide the support services of our case manager and program director to those
couples, as well as others who continue to work toward resettlement in more permanent housing.
The work never stops because there are always couples in need of assistance.
Over the summer months, we are looking forward to a clothes closet renovation by Marc
Kuniansky, as he works toward becoming an Eagle Scout. Also on tap is more work with our partners at SCAD/IIDA-Georgia as we move forward with the planning process for resident room
renovations.
The support of the congregation has, again, been ever so important. Your donations continue to
make a difference in the lives of the homeless in Atlanta.

This is possible
because of you...
The chiller for our Sanctuary was recently replaced, ensuring that our worship space will be comfortable
and cool in the coming summer months. This kind of major capital cost is possible because of your generous support. To pay for this important renovation, we received a grant from The Temple's Endowment
Fund, which has been built over many years from contributions and bequests of our members.
The contributions of support made by our newer members to the Building Maintenance Fund have
also been critical in meeting the needs of our Temple campus and facilities, including this recent chiller
replacement. We thank you for your continued support of The Temple, and wanted you to see first-hand
just what that support has translated into.
