President’s Message
Summer is often
a quiet time in
Temple Israel,
when both our
members and
our clergy take
their vacations,
religious school
is out for the
summer, and the main activity for
our staff is making plans for the High
Holidays that begin in September.
Despite this seeming lack of activity, I
wanted to share with you three inspiring
events that occurred at Temple Israel in
the past few weeks.
The first was how well you responded
to our congregational survey. We had
over 300 respondents, an outstanding
response rate. That so many of you
chose to participate tells me how much
“We will be taking
additional steps to hear
what you have to say,
and to learn more about
what engages you.”
you all care, and how much you want to
play a role in strengthening our temple.
We’ve just begun analyzing the results,
and I plan to discuss them with you
further in the near future. Many of you
contacted me regarding your interest in
providing more detailed and qualitative
responses. We will be taking additional
steps to hear what you have to say, and
to learn more about what engages you.
In the meantime I want to thank you
all for taking the time that you did to
complete the survey. This response rate
was truly inspiring to me and our board.
The second inspiring event of the past
few weeks was the success we had in
finding a new Education Director for
Temple Israel Religious School. I will
confess to you that I was very nervous
about our ability to fill this position,
particularly given the short time frame
until school begins. There are very few
things we do at Temple Israel that are as
important as educating our children.
Finding the right leader for our school
was my highest priority these past
two months. Finding someone as
experienced and as compatible with
our Temple as Rabbi Tracy Klirs was
great fortune for us. I spent a great
deal of time with her throughout the
search process, and I came away truly
inspired by the vision and energy
she brings to our school. Thanks
again to Alison Lerner and the search
committee for taking time during
your summer vacation to help us find
the right person to lead TIRS.
Lastly, for those of you that missed
it, July 7 was an amazing Shabbat
experience. On that day we helped
celebrate the 90th birthday of one
of our stalwart members, Julius
Goldman. Julius has been one of our
most active and influential members
since moving to Charlotte and joining
Temple Israel in 1975. For over 35
years he has been involved in every
facet of temple life, serving on
our board of trustees, leading our
minyans, and being there to support
us as we have celebrated our simchas.
July 7th was the day on which we had
an opportunity to celebrate him.
Julius was joined on the Bimah by
his wife Mae, his son Bruce Goldman
and his daughter Pam Silberman,
and a representative sampling of his
57 grand and great grandchildren.
He chanted a flawless Haftorah, and
invited everyone for a wonderful
kiddush luncheon after services.
Julius epitomizes all that is good about
Temple Israel. I was truly honored and
inspired to have a front row seat from
the Bimah for this wonderful moment
in Temple Israel’s long history.
I hope your summer is as inspiring as
mine, and I look forward to seeing you
all soon for the High Holy Days.
Barry Bobrow, President
August 2012 Av-Elul 5772
Welcome to
Rabbi Tracy Klirs
We are extremely pleased to announce
that we have a new Director for Temple
Israel Religious School, Rabbi Tracy
Klirs. Rabbi Klirs and her family will
be relocating to Charlotte from Great
Neck, New York, and will officially join
our professional staff August 1. We hope
you all take the opportunity to welcome
them to Charlotte and to the Temple Israel
Family.
Rabbi Klirs is known for her ability
to form strong personal connections
to religious school students, and for
mentoring and developing teachers. She
is also known for taking a family oriented
perspective on religious education. Rabbi
Tracy Klirs received a bachelor’s degree in
Yiddish literature from the University of
Chicago and attended the Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of Religion’s
rabbinical school in Cincinnati where she
was ordained in 1984. Rabbi Klirs was the
first woman rabbi to lead a congregation
in Canada and served congregations
and Jewish educational organizations in
Texas, California, Virginia and Maryland.
She recently served as the Director of the
First Day of
Temple Israel
Religious School
Sunday, September 9
Religious School of Temple Israel of Great
Neck, New York.
Rabbi Klirs is the primary author of
The Merit of Our Mothers: A Bilingual
Anthology of Jewish Women’s Prayers
and has published a number of articles,
primarily on Yiddish literature, including
a chapter entitled “Tkhines for Rosh
Chodesh: Women’s Prayers of Devotion”
in Celebrating the New Moon: A Rosh
Chodesh Anthology.
Rabbi Klirs is a member of the
Central Conference of American Rabbis,
the Jewish Educators’ Assembly, and
the Women’s Rabbinic Network, and
recently served as Co-president of
the Conservative Principals’ Council
of Queens and Long Island. She has
participated in Jewish choruses and
played cello in an amateur klezmer band
called Shoresh.
Rabbi Klirs and her husband,
Elisha, have three children: Lior and
his wife Ariella, of Nashville, TN;
Carni of Washington, DC and Talya,
who is moving to Charlotte along
with her daughter, Callie (Rabbi Klirs’
granddaughter).
The search committee, Executive
Committee, and Board of Trustees are
very excited about having Rabbi Klirs
join our community and our staff. As
we pray at the conclusion of every book
of the Torah: Hazak Hazak V’Nithazek!
May our congregation continue to go
from strength to strength under the
educational leadership of Rabbi Tracy
Klirs.

address the congregation at Temple Israel. He came from
the Reno, Nevada school district making great strides in

Lake Norman Jewish Congregations Merge
After 6 years of having 2 Jewish congregations in the Lake Norman area, the
boards of Lake Norman Jewish Congregation and Beth Shalom of Lake Norman
have decided to merge into a single congregation. The merger reflects the
community’s desire to be unified, pool resources and combine religious schools.
The transition will include developing a new name and branding, merging
the governing boards, launching a combined religious school and Bnai Mitzvah
program, and affiliating with the Union for Reformed Judaism.

Temple Israel and Huntingtowne Farms Elementary
School Continue their Partnership
For the past 5 years, volunteers from Temple Israel’s congregation mentor, tutor,
are classroom helpers and lunch buddies for the students at Huntingtowne Farms
Elementary. Last year, we had 28 volunteers and for the 2012/2013 school year,
we are hoping to provide a volunteer for each and every teacher. That would be a
total of 65 volunteers!
Though Huntingtowne Farms is a progressive school utilizing an “International
Baccalaureate” program, it is a high poverty school where 80% of the students
receive free or reduced lunch. Their dynamic Principal, Carolyn Rodd, and her
impressive staff are looking for us to provide them with one more piece of the
puzzle to help these kids be successful.
If you can commit 2-3 hours (or more) per week to spend time with these adorable
students, please let us know. Just like our kids, they deserve every opportunity.
What a great thing you will be doing for them and what a wonderful contribution
to our community. The extra bonus…you’ll love it too!
If you have questions and would like to volunteer, please contact the volunteer
coordinator for this project, Harvey Barer, at [email protected] or call him at
704-443-7631. For additional information about our school partnership, please
see the Temple website www.templeisraelnc.org. Click on “get involved” to see
the social action page. All volunteers will receive an orientation and training.

Rabbi Ezring’s Column
As a congregational Rabbi, I have spent the past
34 years of my life trying to provide for the ever
changing spiritual needs of Jews in a world that is
forever evolving. It is as if every decade brings new
challenges to the spiritual and religious life of the
Jewish People. One of the ways we respond to the
changing times and needs of our congregants is to
provide alternative prayer opportunities throughout
the year. Hundreds of you have tasted the flavors
of our service options. Whether our members are
comfortable with our traditional Shabbat Services,
Java ‘n Jeans-an entryway into the world of Jewish
prayer, Kavannah, a return to the ancient and modern forms of meditation and
spiritual self examination of the early Kabbalists, Torah Tots- a family experience
for parents with their pre-school and primary grade children, or Rock HaShabbatgreeting the Shabbat with the most modern style of Jewish liturgical music,
there is a place for all of us.
It is interesting that many view alternatives as less than traditional. Yet the
Kavannah Service returns us to fundamental meditative and study practices from
the beginnings of Rabbinic Jewish experience. Rock HaShabbat actually adds not
only music, but prayers into our service, some of which have already infiltrated
our weekly services. Our offerings of services provide us different gateways to
express our spiritual connections with God. In a world in which many people are
turning away from religious life we are offering multiple pathways to connect
with God and our Temple Israel Family.
I am often asked how we develop our alternative services. The answer is simple.
We listened to our congregational family members. The Kavannah service was
a response to members asking for a more meditative service that allowed for
interactive Torah discussions. We added the beautiful spiritually uplifting music
provided by members of our synagogue. The response to the music and a desire
expressed by many of our congregation for a vibrant modern musical style of
service were met.
Another Shabbat offering which will begin after the summer, is the Rabbi’s Tish.
A number of our congregational participants have asked for a study session after
services. We will begin studying the next week’s Parashah together after Shabbat
Morning Services. Keep letting us know what you are seeking in your spiritual life,
and we will continue to do our best to meet your needs.

services, with a much higher energy level. It will be spiritual

Men’s Club News
Sisterhood News
News & Notes from Men’s Club President,
Nicholas Rose
President’s Column, Teresa Brenner
I am composing this now in the hot and lazy dog days of July
after having just returned from a two week trip to a rather
wet and congested London which is girding itself for the
challenges of the Olympics. By the time you will be reading
this it will be August and the games will be in full swing. As
5772 winds down, we will begin to contemplate the meaning
and relevance of the forthcoming High Holidays to our lives
and wondering whether perhaps we deserve any medals. The
summer is the perfect time to get contemplative and take
stock of our lives, where we have been, where we are going,
and to think about any changes we may want to make. So
here are a few thoughts:
Whether you support the Mens Club by “just” paying dues, or
if you attend an event occasionally, or if you are more involved
in club leadership and making our programs happen, we value
and have a place for all our members.
It has been my experience that the more involved with
Men’s Club I have been, the more I have gotten out of my
membership. Friends, positive feelings from accomplishing
good deeds, and closer ties to my Jewish Faith have grown
along with my Men’s Club involvement.
Men’s Club are a group of guys or maybe a band of brothers…
who get together to help Temple Israel and the greater
communities of whom we are a part, make new friends and
have fun in the process…it provides a sense of community, an
ability to influence events, and live Jewishly.
So as we approach the Days of Awe and contemplate
the changes we might wish to make in our lives, I ask the
question …”Will you join us?” Just tick the box in the Men’s
Club membership form and for the bargain rate of $36, your
name and contact details will be added to the list and we will
keep you posted with details of our many events planned for
the year. You can be assured of a warm welcome. And who
knows, maybe you might win a medal next year…Unlike the
Olympics, the Men’s Club is here every year!
Next up for the Mens Club:
•TIRS First Day Breakfast-Sunday, September 9: Volunteers needed to shop for breakfast, set up the Social Hall, serve TIRS families, and help clean up.
•Temple Sukkah Building and Schach Harvest-Sunday,
September 30: “Jewish Men with Chain Saws” will venture out
to cut down Sukkah greenery while others will quickly erect
the Temple Sukkah so it can be decorated for the Festival.
Drivers with pick-up trucks, guys with ladders, and tall men are
needed. We will be working with the TIRS 6th grade families
on this project, but all are welcome.
•Membership drive: If you didn’t check off the Mens Club box

(or more) to TI Mens Club to the Temple Office.
Thanks in advance for all your participation and help in
making 5773 another “Gold Medal” year for Temple Israel
and the Mens Club!
Successful leaders include individuals with many different styles
of leadership. Some are command leaders; some, consensus
building leaders. Some are effervescent and charming; some,
quiet and intently listening. And a few are “behind-the-scenes”
leaders. Barbara Ezring is one of the few. Barbara is a kind
and gentle soul, a smart and dedicated teacher, and a patient
and calm leader. She has been a member of Sisterhood for
34 years. She has served, among many other roles, as a Board
member of Women’s League, President of the Southern Region,
and an Executive Board member of Temple Israel’s Sisterhood.
She currently serves as a Board member of Masorti. She has
also taught at Temple Israel’s Religious School and volunteered
as a tutor at Huntingtowne Farms Elementary. Barbara has
created opportunities for women to come together to worship,
to express themselves, and to work for the betterment of their
children, families and community.
Temple Israel’s Sisterhood nominated Barbara Ezring for
Women’s League’s “Light of the Torah” Award, its highest
individual honor. During Women’s League’s Southern Region
Spring meeting in Atlanta, I had the privilege of presenting this
award to Barbara, and Rabbi Ezring had the pleasure of seeing
her receive this award. Barbara joins a long list of distinguished
recipients, including Rhoda Gleiberman, Lois Benjamin,
Audrey Madans, Rose Luski, Judy Miller, Marcy Mehlman,
Rose Weisman, Lorrie Klemmons and Tess Berger. Please join
me in extending Mazel Tov to Barbara and her family, and to
expressing our thanks to her for all she does for our synagogue
family, Women’s League and our community.
No matter what your leadership style is, Women’s League
provides leadership opportunities for all Sisterhood members
of Conservative synagogues, including twenty-four synagogues
in the Southern Region, of which ours is one. An exciting
opportunity for leadership training and other seminars will
occur at Women’s Leagues’ National Convention to be held in
early December in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you are interested in
possibly attending this convention, please feel free to contact
Barbara Ezring or me for more information.
As always, please contact me at any time with ideas, inquiries
or opportunities. We warmly welcome your involvement and
hope you can discover or refine your leadership style while
becoming involved in Sisterhood events and activities, whether
locally, regionally or nationally.
