RABBI’S MESSAGE
RABBI EUGENE LEVY
B’ NA I
“Variation on a Theme”
The reaction to our All-Music Shabbat services over the past 7-8
years has been nothing short of phenomenal!! We have gone
from a few singers and instruments to more than a dozen or so
and have moved from once-a-year to 4 times a year (and often
a clamoring for more). I have commented at just about every
one of these services that it often takes music to lift the words of
prayer off the page—into our hearts and souls and into the very
heavens themselves!!
Because of the overwhelmingly positive reaction to a service that
focuses on one aspect of worship, I have decided that—beginning
three or four times a year and possibly extending to 5 or 6 times—
we'll soon begin to do an "All-Sermon" Shabbat!! We'll extend the
service to about an hour and a half, omit all music entirely, and fill
the glorious evening with a few readings interlacing three to four
25-minute sermons.
Topics will range from "The Theological Implications of Every
Verse in the Torah" to "The Mathematical and Chemical Prowess
of Every Medieval Jewish Philosopher in the Germanic Territories"
to "An Analytical De-Construction of the Entirety of the Biblical
Sacrificial and Priestly System" to "The Structure of the Lunar
Calendar and Its Relation to All Other Calendrical Systems Since
the Beginning of Time."
There will be—from time to time—other such stimulating sermons
that I know the congregation is dying to hear--in increments of
three or four per Shabbat eve. And to be sure we can accommodate
at least 4 in a night, we'll omit all the music for that night and may
even follow each of the All-Sermon Shabbat evenings with a multihour discussion group. This is sure to add new popularity to our Life
Long Learning Program.
And after we have experimented with these on a quarterly
basis--and taken a survey to see how many additional Shabbat
eves the Congregation will want to devote to an "All-Sermon
Shabbat," we will then be able to wish each of you "Be happy
—It's Adar" and in case a few of you have not already guessed,
this article/message is your first Purim spoof of the season...

President's Message
THE TEMPLE CHRONICLE / MARCH 2011
PAGE 2
Since spring is right around the corner, I’ll start by going out
on a sturdy limb to say that this January and February at our
Temple were the busiest start to the secular year that we have had
in at least 50 years! Most of the additional activities this January
and February came under the umbrella of Lifelong Learning
with our first ever adult Sunday school consisting of 2 classes:
“Godshopping” taught skillfully by Carmen Arick and “Making a
Comfortable Jewish Home…Notes from a Jewish Mother” taught
by our professional educator Ellyn Polsky. These classes created
a wonderful opportunity to learn and socialize together. Don’t
worry if you were not able to attend these classes--there will be
an additional mini-mester of classes taught on Sunday mornings
later this spring. Please pay attention to the Chronicle for the
announcement of these new classes including their descriptions
and times.
On January 9, Nina Krupitsky spoke at Temple about her
experiences during World War II. This was a well attended event
but had to be cut short because of the deteriorating weather. It is
my understanding that it will be continued at a future time which
will be announced. Then, on January 28, we had the Jacob’s Camp
Shabbat Dinner and service. Special thanks to Rita Fagan and
crew for preparing the camp-style dinner for all who attended.
On February 20th, thanks to the generosity of the Storthz Fund,
we enjoyed Jewish Musician Craig Taubman in concert in the
Sanctuary. This was a wonderful event and very much enjoyed by
those who attended.
The Strategic Planning Committee, under the tireless
leadership of Leah Elenzweig, has been hard at work the
last several months planning ahead for almost every area of
Temple life. Leah is doing an amazing job and we are making
real strides. We will be reporting more to you on that project
as we progress. Also, Chris Stratton, our Temple Treasurer, is
convening a budget committee to begin planning for our new
fiscal year which begins on June 1.
We are working on an exciting fundraiser that promises to
be new, unusual, and a lot of fun. It will take place at Temple
on April 9th at 7:00 P.M. Please look elsewhere in this edition
of the Chronicle for more information. You should receive an
invitation to the event in mid-March.
As you all know, so much of what we do at Temple is
energized and “staffed” by volunteers. There is so much going

on at Temple right now that the volunteer opportunities are
practically endless. We couldn’t do what we do without YOU! If
you are not currently involved and have the energy and interest
in participating, please let me know. We would love to have you
involved, and I am sure that we can find the perfect spot for you!
See you at Temple.

ARCHIVE SUNDAY
Draws Many Volunteers
There is nothing that makes one more proud to be a Jew
than spending time looking into our Jewish past. On Sunday
February 13th about fifty congregants spent time volunteering
to preserve and organize the 145-year-old Temple archives.
We organized boxes, which linked our congregation to the
hardships and terrors of previous generations – the Holocaust,
anti-Semitism in our community and the Soviet Union, and
hard battles in Europe and the Far East. We organized material
about our congregants, which spoke loudly of their amazing
accomplishments in the community and their honors in every
field. We saw before us letters of commendation and awards for
our Rabbis, and we read of the dedicated efforts of our board
leadership for nearly a century and a half. It is a remarkable
history, carefully preserved by Charles Elias, a faithful
congregant for decades, and we are working to try to organize
and protect the now fading documents by placing them in
archival containers for future generations to learn from – in
the beautiful room provided by the Tenenbaums.
We played, we ate (thanks Leah, Judy, Julie, Kathy, Robynn,
Meg, and several others for the amazing breakfast and lunch)
and we actually got a whole lot accomplished. Stacks of loose
and deteriorating items were catalogued and placed in the right
kinds of containers. Thanks to Mac and Marie for agreeing to
be honorary chairs and for working so hard.
We made great headway (Thanks to all who came!), but
there’s much more to do. We are going to try to open the
archives most Sundays from 9-noon and continue the projects.
You are welcome to stop in and help for a while. (Drop an email
to [email protected] to make sure we will be there).

Lifelong Learning - Ellyn Polsky, Director
CONFIRMATION CLASS
participated in
the Bernard and Audre Rapoport L’Taken Social Justice Seminar
in Washington, D.C. The program is one of several developed by
the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (www.rac.org)
headquartered in Washington, especially for teens. The weekend
was a whirlwind of touring the sites of our capital, expanding
our Jewish selves, and understanding the RAC’s positions on
campaign finance reform, climate change and energy, economic
justice, immigration, global human rights, Israel, reproductive
rights, stem cell cultivation and use, and global HIV/AIDS
programming. All 250 of the student participants, representing
Reform congregations throughout the country, were taught how
to prepare “chai-powered” speeches. Gracen Grundfest, Adam
Korenblat, Lexie Levin, Cameron Matson, andKy Stevens
concentrated on the topics of climate change and reproductive
rights. They constructed powerful speeches according to the RAC’s
rubric and delivered them
directly to Senator Boozman
and his administrative
aide, to Senator Pryor’s
administrative aide Jason
Bockenstedt,
and
to
Rep. Tim Griffin and his
administrative aide.
At
each office, the students
were warmly greeted and
graciously engaged. When
you see these fine young
people, please ask them
about their experience.
PB AND JAM
Many thanks to everyone who made the
February 20th PB and Jam event so successful!!
The mitzvah brown bag lunch was most appreciated by
the 90 residents at Our House, and you know that Craig
‘n’ Co. loved being with us here in Little Rock.
STRATEGIC PLANNING UPDATE
The strategic planning process is moving full steam ahead! The
results of last year’s Congregational Survey are being used to
create a working plan of action that reflects the desires of the
Congregation. The plan has been divided into six areas of focus:
Worship, Lifelong Learning, Community, Membership Services,
Administration/Governance, and Finance. Over the next few
months, the planning process will continue. Look for more
information about the process and the plan in future issues of
the Chronicle and in other updates to the Congregation.

Temple B’nai Israel is a charter supporter of this organization.
When I retired a few years ago, I wondered what I would do with
my time. I knew my Temple volunteer work would continue, but
I felt it was time to do something else too. Jimmy Sachs invited
me to attend LifeQuest. I really had no idea what it was all about,
but I agreed to go. Miraculously, I even got Jerry to go along with
the idea. It has been a rich and rewarding experience for us both.
All new members and prospective members will be guests of
the congregation for this special evening in their honor.

THE TEMPLE CHRONICLE
Each eight week session of LifeQuest offers Wednesday and
Thursday classes called “Adventures in Learning.” Now, I am
not a “student,” but this is really fun and interesting. It’s a
liquid agenda…you can sign up for one class and then move
into another if you don’t like it. There is no attendance taken,
and no homework. You just attend, and absorb information.

Jerry and I love the 9:00 class featuring John Brummett entitled
“Behind the Headlines.” It is always an interesting insight
into the current news and political scene. There are so many
choices—there are seven or more different classes offered each
hour. The subject range is all over the place—from Sports
Talk, Watercolor, and Mah Jongg to Spanish American War,
Horticulture, Arkansas History, and so many more. I am
constantly surprised by the wide range offered each session.

Sisterhood
Rabbi Peter Grumbacher
to speak April 1st
Rabbi Grumbacher
served Congregation Beth Emeth,
beginning as Assistant Rabbi and Director of Education upon
ordination from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of
Religion in 1972. In 1982 he became Senior Rabbi. He retired
after 37 years at the end of June 2009.
During his years in Wilmington he served on numerous boards
and organizations and was senior chairperson of the former
National Conference of Christians and Jews, Delaware Region,
which designated him a “Community Builder.” He served as
chair of the Delaware Interfaith Coalition on Aging.
He continues to serve on the National Commission on
Rabbinic-Congregation Relations and was president of the
Mid-Atlantic Region, Central Conference of American Rabbis.
Rabbi Grumbacher received the annual Gerald Kandler Award
of the Delaware chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union,
as well as the annual award of the Delaware Region, Jewish
National Fund. He and his wife, Suzy, were recognized by the
Delaware Region, State of Israel Bonds, for their work on behalf
of the State of Israel.
In recent years Rabbi Grumbacher has traveled the country
speaking to varied audiences on the subject, “Sharing the Silence:
The Child of a Survivor Tells His Father’s Story,” dealing with his
father’s internment in the Dachau concentration camp during
the Holocaust and his subsequent service in the U.S. Army. He
hopes to continue lecturing and writing.
Sisterhood Speaks
Make your reservations now for the Sisterhood benefit
Thursday, April 7 • The Weekend Theater
during its run of The Last Night of Ballyhoo.
Heavy hors d’oeuvres at 6:00, show at 7:30
$20 per person, limited open seating
Make reservations through the Temple office 225-9700.
Written by the author of Driving Miss Daisy, The
Last Night of Ballyhoo won the 1997 Tony Award.
The comedy is set in the upper class German-Jewish
community of Atlanta in December 1939. Hitler is
invading Poland, but the highly assimilated Freitag
family is more concerned with the right escort for
Lola to the lavish social event of the season. The story
explores Southern Jewish identity (or lack thereof) and
social discrimination within the Jewish community.
Mark your calendar for the
Third Annual Miriam’s Seder
Tuesday evening, April 12
(time to be announced)
$10 per person with advance reservations.
Call the Temple office to reserve.
If you haven’t already returned your 2011 Sisterhood
and/or Men’s Club Membership Dues, please do so
at once. Did you know that all the tables and chairs in
the Social hall/Tenenbaum Center were purchased by
Sisterhood? Or that many of the prayer books you use
in services were donated by Men’s Club? Sisterhood
and Men’s Club are two vital service arms of our Temple
that support our congregation in more ways than you
probably realize. We’re counting on you to help!

ATI’DAY PRESCHOOL NEWS
We would like to share some of the exciting changes we’ve made
at the school during the past few months! We have redesigned
the curriculum with the help of our dedicated teaching
staff. These changes promote child independence, social
development, and intellectual growth. The areas of study focus
on basic language skills with emphasis on Hebrew and Spanish,
Jewish Studies, time spent reading with a librarian, and basic
math and science skills using a special computer program. We
have achieved these enhancements while maintaining a low
child-to-staff ratio.
Ati’Day is also progressing toward opening an Alef class for infants
ranging in age from 6 weeks to 18 months. We are very enthusiastic
about this development and are looking forward to opening by July
2011! Seven families have already expressed their interest and we are
continuing to get new applications!
Our lunch program has been extremely successful since its
launch in February, and the students enjoy kosher, healthy, and
delicious lunches on a daily basis!
Please visit us on Facebook where you can view our curriculum and
lunch menu. I also welcome your calls and emails!
Yours Truly,
David Hazan, Director
