GLANCE
welcome home!
High HolY DaYs 2014
Welcome home for the holidays! All High Holy Day
services will be back at Temple Israel this year.
We can’t wait to show off the fresh new look of
our renovated Gall Family Sanctuary and Isserman
Auditorium. Our High Holy Day services will be open
to all this year, no tickets needed, so invite your friends
and family to attend.
While much will look familiar, including our historic
bimah, we have replaced the pews with new comfortable
chairs; installed carpeting throughout the sanctuary;
lowered the ceilings and installed new chandeliers that
will bring much light and warmth into our worship space;
added cloth accent panels to our wood walls, and have
put in an all new sound system.
Rosh Hashanah takes place Wednesday evening,
September 24, and Thursday, September 25.
Yom Kippur begins with Kol Nidre on Friday, October 3,
and continues on Saturday, October 4.
2014 Guide to
the High HolY DaYs
Workers prepare to fill the new lowered ceiling grid with drywall,
maintaining the Star of David pattern of the original ceiling.
Our new worship space will be filled with light. The historic bimah
is safely “under wraps” on the left. It will be cleaned
and freshened up for the High Holy Days.
reNderiNg oF New saNctuarY iNterior
with remoVeable bimah
We will once again produce a “Guide to the High Holy
Days” that will include everything you need to know,
including service descriptions and times, children’s
activities, child care information, parking instructions,
and much more. The Guide will be mailed to all member
households in early September.
Guests may request a copy by contacting
Amanda Radman at [email protected]
or at 314-432-8050.
This rendering depicts the Gall Family Sanctuary as it will look with
a new, removeable bimah and Ark. This configuration will be used for weekly
Shabbat worship and most holidays. For the High Holy Days, we will continue
to use our historic bimah.

IF Not Now, WheN?
Rabbi Amy Feder
The first time I had the opportunity to give a High
Holiday sermon as a rabbinical student, I remember
asking my parents what they thought people might want
to hear. I’ll never forget my mother’s advice. She didn’t
have any particular topics in mind that I should discuss,
but she knew the one thing I shouldn’t talk about. “Don’t
tell people they should come to services more,” she said.
“No one wants a guilt trip. They’re here now, and that’s
what matters.”
I have thought about her words many times over the
years. It’s true, when I stand in front of you on the
High Holidays and look out into the hundreds of faces,
many of whom I don’t see on a regular basis, my gut
reaction is to want to urge you to come more often, to
help you realize that Judaism is so much better when
it’s a regular part of your lives, that for as much time as
we put into High Holiday preparation, regular Shabbat
services often feel much more powerful, intimate, and
real. Yet I know that (as seems to be the case with
amazing frequency) my mother was right. It’s neither
fair nor helpful for me to take that precious time on
the bima to tell you how much better it would be if you
came to Temple more. To be a Reform Jew is to be
able to make your own Jewish choices wisely and with
personal autonomy, and that includes determining how
much “Temple time” you desire. Whether you’re a Friday
night regular or only here once a year, I trust that you’re
coming to Temple as much as you want or need to, and
that you know we’re here every day of the year in case
your needs ever change.
What matters on the High Holidays is that you’re here.
My job, then, and the job of Rabbi Michael and the rest
of our service leaders, is to make sure that when you’re
here on the High Holidays, we provide you with as
meaningful of an experience as we possibly can. It is a
challenge that we take incredibly seriously, and we think
about it all year long. We want the music to be beautiful,
the prayers uplifting, and the sermons thoughtprovoking and inspiring.
Yet let me be clear. All guilt-trips aside, the
High Holidays simply don’t work as well as they
should if you haven’t thought about them and what
they represent until you pull onto Ladue Road. For the
High Holidays to really impact your life, to give you the
chance to renew yourself, to make peace with your loved
ones, to wipe your slate clean from the mistakes of the
past year, a little preparation goes a very long way.
So I invite you to join us this year for a brief, intensive
High Holiday Boot Camp and S’lichot. On Saturday,
September 20, we will take the evening to teach you
exactly what you need to do so that the High Holiday
are truly are a meaningful experience for you. It will take
less than an hour for your rabbis to give you everything
you need to know to prepare yourself to enjoy and be
impacted by Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur this year!
Following our Boot Camp, our Chavurat Shira choir will
lead us in a beautiful S’lichot service, giving us a taste
of the music they’ll sing during the High Holidays so that
we get to hear those haunting melodies and even the
shofar blast a little early. I hope you’ll join us and ensure
that this year, when you’re sitting in our beautifully
refurbished sanctuary on the High Holidays, you will
have the experience that you need and deserve to have,
and to make sure those days really are holy ones.
