Issue No. 172
Next month, Apple will unveil the iPhone 6 and many of us will end up getting it. Some will hold
the anticipated device in their trembling hands on the first day it becomes available and the less
enthusiastic will wait until their upgrade is due. Yet it is safe to predict that almost everyone will
agree that the new phone is better than its predecessor, and very few will express sincere longing
for their old gizmo.
Next year, the Reform Movement will unveil its new Machzor, High Holy Days Prayer Book, Mishkan HaNefesh.
Some congregations will use it right away and some may wait awhile. But I have little doubt that among the people
who will be using it next fall, some may not like it. It is not because of our people’s natural propensity for
complaining, but because a prayer book is not a cell phone where newer means better. Our current Machzor, Gates of
Repentance, has been around for almost four decades and for many, not only its liturgy, but even its red cover and its
smell remind us of the High Holy Days and make us feel Jewish.
In the past year, Brett, Jessica and I have been examining the draft of the new prayer book, trying to decide if TBA
should be among the early adopters or wait. Before we started, I expected it to be an easy conclusion as I learned to
recognize throughout the years the limitations of Gates of Repentance, but that has not been the case. On one hand,
the new book has so much to offer and it meshes with our mission of making Judaism accessible. For example, like
Mishkan Tefilah, our prayer book, all the Hebrew prayers have a transliteration and alongside the traditional prayers
there are modern poems and readings. But on the other hand, it didn’t feel comfortable. We went back and forth until
we asked ourselves if what we didn’t like about the book was its content or the fact that it was different from what we
were used to. We humbly admitted that most of it was a result of the latter. But we didn’t stop there.
We chose to join a number of congregations around the country that volunteered to pilot some parts of the new
Machzor these coming High Holy Days. We did it for two reasons: First, we wanted to help the dedicated Machzor’s
Editorial Committee by providing them with our feedback, and second, we wanted to get your comments and advice
on how to best use it in the future. This year we will be using a draft of Mishkan HaNefesh for Rosh Hashanah Eve,
Yom Kippur Afternoon, Yizkor and Neilah.
At the conclusion of the High Holy Days we will have a meeting with those of you who would like to participate in a
study group of the new Machzor. We encourage all of you to give us constructive feedback on this new book and the
direction that it offers.
B’Shalom,

FROM THE PRESIDENT
Mark Slifkin
Well, it is that time of year again. I cannot believe Summer is almost over with only a couple of weeks before
school starts, and kids are coming back from camp with the usual ‘I have nothing to do’ – but parents always
find a solution. Once again TBA has a Kids Summer Camp - thank you Paula Deakter and Rachel Ruiz from
The One School and Yael Lawrence from the Family Center. Check Facebook to see all the activities and
bring your little ones to the TBA camp next summer.
I want to welcome our newest Board members and thank you for your volunteer services to TBA. We look forward to your
leadership and contributions to the TBA Board: Ellen Vargas, Gwen Berry, Cathy Drourr and Lois Remick (Sisterhood
representative) - Congratulations! ALL our Board members names are always listed on the first page of the Scribe – talk to
them anytime about your thoughts, suggestions and ideas – our tag line ALL OF US TOGETHER only works if we have
YOUR input!
Also, congratulations to the elected Executive Committee: Brian Cohn (VP), Bruce Cohen (VP), Fran Sachs (VP
Education), Carol Carswell (Treasurer) and Mary Elias (Secretary).
Thank you Hal Baseman (Past President) from all the members of TBA – room does not allow for all the words we could
write, so a simple ‘thank you’ for your leadership will have to do for now! By the way I understand he is traveling somewhere
AGAIN – send pictures and airplane escapades please. PS: Take a look at his TBA nametag next time you see him.
I wish to thank the entire Board for showing me their confidence and support in electing me as our TBA President. I will
certainly endeavor to meet your expectations and continue the great leadership of TBA.
You have been seeing the beginning of our new communications look thanks to Carol Sleeper, Debbie Baseman, Zac
Kushner and our PR Consultant, Greg Dubois, of Bella Group, starting with the VFC Booklet on ‘KULANU’ and what we
have done Together this past year, followed by the High Holy Day brochure. On the way are ‘Who Are We’ (a communication
to TBA members and the Jewish Community) and a new member recognition program. There is more to come in the future.
Hal’s June/July Scribe article reviewed the past year’s significant accomplishments and Rabbi talked about his vision in the last
Scribe regarding interfaith families and B’nei Mitzvah for high school students and adults – standby for more on these topics.
Another goal for the future is to provide opportunities for volunteerism. We have made tremendous strides in volunteerism
and thank you for sending in your skills survey (if you haven’t done so, please do). More from David Elias in the near future,
but here is one factoid – did you know we have made and served over 12,000 meals at St. George’s Soup Kitchen?
We have been working hard to improve the exterior appearance – our wonderful building is over 7 years old and needs some
TLC. A lot has been happening over the summer. How do you like the new sod and shrubs? Thanks to Jerry Holinstat’s
facility team, Cubby Steinhart , Harvey Silverman, Rich Remick, Mike Deakter and Albert Jacob with special thanks to
Cubby for providing the labor and generously contributing towards the project cost. By the time school starts we will have
fixed the ‘mud pit’ parking area, as The One School parents fondly call it. Our new well will enable us to have an adequate
irrigation supply.
Please join me in welcoming Alissa Frankel as the new Youth Group Director – she will also be helping David Sherman on
Religious School Programming. Youth Group kids and parents will be hearing from her before school starts and we are
looking forward to exciting activities for our kids.
REMINDER - if you have not sent in your VFC pledge card please send it in ASAP so we can mail your High Holy Days
tickets in a timely manner. If the dog ate it or you misplaced it, a copy of the VFC pledge card is on page 5 in this Scribe or
call Carol Sleeper at the office (561-747-1109) if you wish to discuss your pledge further.
Enjoy the rest of summer and vacations and please post on the TBA Facebook page.
Looking forward to greeting all of you during the High Holy Days.
The Scribe articles are great and contain interesting tidbits about TBA – enjoy them. Call me at 561-222-8350 if you have
ANY questions or just wish to chat. Email works also: [email protected]

IT’S TIME TO RENEW/JOIN TEMPLE BETH AM
Kulanu: We nurture an engaged Jewish community whose members care for each other, care for the Jewish
people and Israel, and gladly invest their time, money and passion.
We weren’t certain how you’d respond to a “Voluntary Financial Commitment” as opposed to “Dues”. Fast
forward almost one year. Our cautious optimism has been met with your pragmatism and enthusiasm. Eliminating
mandatory Temple dues in favor of a Voluntary Financial Commitment system has proven the right decision.
Together, we’re making Judaism more accessible to all. This is Kulanu: All of Us Together.
The Voluntary Financial Commitment Operating Levels are based solely on the projected operating budget for the
Temple this fiscal year. We anticipate those who can contribute beyond the Operating Level will. If you cannot
contribute at the operating level, contribute what you can. This is Kulanu.
Your Voluntary Financial Commitment
 Entitles you to High Holy Days tickets (irrespective of voluntary financial commitment amount)
 Allows you to choose a payment schedule: annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly
Voluntary Financial Commitment does not include:
 Tuition or fees for Religious School, Shalom Chai, or other fee for service activity
 B’nei Mitzvah fees
Important Considerations
 Although voluntary, a pledge remains a commitment. We plan based on your pledge.
 To thoughtfully and properly plan the Temple’s operations, we must receive your membership pledge card in
the Temple office.
 The fiscal year begins July 1, 2014 and ends June 30, 2015.
 The operating budget includes projected voluntary commitments for High Holy Days and Spring Drive, as
well.
 Direct all questions to the Temple office at 561-747-1109.
This past year was the first year of Temple Beth Am living intentionally in the full spirit of Kulanu. Your
Voluntary Financial Commitment is essential to the Temple Beth Am community. Thank you and thank
you in advance for what you’ll contribute to the Temple Beth Am community this year.
We’re already underway on an even more dynamic period of engagement.
Kulanu is a journey. So, we go. All of Us Together.
Please see the following page for your Voluntary Financial Commitment pledge card.
Friendly reminder: It’s a new Temple year and we need you to send back
your Voluntary Financial Commitment Pledge Card
in order to renew your membership.
High Holy Days Tickets will be sent to new/renewed members
in early September.

Temple Beth Am Book Club Selections 2014-2015
November 3: JOY COMES IN THE MORNING – Jonathan Rosen - Deborah Green is a woman of passionate
contradictions--a rabbi who craves goodness and surety while wrestling with her own desires and with the sorrow and
pain she sees around her. Her life changes when she visits the hospital room of Henry Friedman, an older man who has
attempted suicide. His parents were murdered in the Holocaust when he was a child, and all his life he’s struggled with
difficult questions. Deborah’s encounter with Henry and his family draws her into a world of tragedy, frailty, love, and,
finally, hope. [Paperback: 400 pages]
January 5: MY 15 GRANDMOTHERS – Genie Milgrom – The author takes the reader through an exciting maze of
intrigue, where literally every stone that is turned yields a new twist in the author’s personal journey. Having been
brought up in a Roman Catholic family in Cuba and descending from Spanish ancestry did not ensure that her life
would be lived within that realm. In response to strong feelings and an affinity towards Judaism, her search for her
family’s past took on a deeper significance as she researched her maternal lineage and discovered and documented her
Pre-Inquisition Spanish roots to Fifteenth Century Spain and Portugal where they lived first as Jews, then as Crypto
Jews and finally as Roman Catholics. She was able to unravel the web of lies and deceit that her family had spun in
order to survive the Spanish Inquisition. They lived with one foot in each world as they converted to Catholicism
openly while secretly practicing their own religion underground. [Paperback: 164 pages]
March 2: THE MUSEUM OF EXTRAORDINARY THINGS – Alice Hoffman - the story of an electric and
impassioned love between two vastly different souls in New York during the volatile first decades of the twentieth
century. Coralie Sardie is the daughter of the sinister impresario behind The Museum of Extraordinary Things, a Coney
Island boardwalk freak show that thrills the masses. Coralie appears as the Mermaid in her father’s “museum”. One
night Coralie stumbles upon a striking young man taking pictures of moonlit trees in the woods off the Hudson River.
The dashing photographer is Eddie Cohen, a Russian immigrant who has run away from his father’s Lower East Side
Orthodox community and his job as a tailor’s apprentice. When Eddie photographs the devastation on the streets of
New York following the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, he becomes embroiled in the suspicious mystery
behind a young woman’s disappearance and ignites the heart of Coralie. [Hardcover: 384 pages]
April 27: WONDER OF WONDERS: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF FIDDLER ON THE ROOF – Alisa
Solomon - An eye-opening history of the Broadway musical that changed the world. In the half-century since its
premiere, Fiddler on the Roof has had an astonishing global impact. Award-winning drama critic, Alisa Solomon, traces
how and why the story of Tevye the milkman, the creation of the great Yiddish writer Sholem-Aleichem, was reborn as
blockbuster entertainment and a cultural touchstone. It is a story of the theater, following Tevye from his humble
appearance on the New York Yiddish stage, through his adoption by leftist dramatists as a symbol of oppression, to his
Broadway debut in one of the last big book musicals, and his ultimate destination—a major Hollywood picture.
Solomon reveals how the show spoke to the deepest conflicts and desires of its time: the fraying of tradition,
generational tension, the loss of roots. Audiences everywhere found in Fiddler immediate resonance and a usable past,
whether in Warsaw, where it unlocked the taboo subject of Jewish history, or in Tokyo, where the producer asked how
Americans could understand a story that is “so Japanese.” [Hard cover: 448 pages]

How would you like to join an amazing group of women who are making a strong impact in our community by supporting
local charities?
The group meets at TBA and the time commitment is only four hours a year!
This is 100 WOMEN WHO CARE.
How does it work?
 At each meeting, any member can nominate a local charity for consideration as a recipient of that meeting’s
donations.
• Three charities are then drawn at random and the nominating member gives a brief presentation about the cause.
 Members then vote on which cause to support.
 Each member writes a check for $100 directly to the chosen organization.
100 Women x 100 checks = $10,000 raised in one hour!
Our first meeting is on Thursday, Sept. 18th from 6:00pm-7:00pm at TBA. You can still join even if you can’t make the
first meeting.

HIGH HOLY DAYS INFORMATION
Debbie Baseman
Preparations for the High Holy Days are going full steam ahead. In addition to working on all the different
programming we offer, we are going to be one of the synagogues participating in a pilot program. The Union of
Reform Judaism/The Central Conference of American Rabbi’s is working on a new High Holy Days book and we are
going to be using a draft of it on Erev Rosh Hashanah and during the Afternoon, Yizkor, and Concluding Services of
Yom Kippur. This is so exciting to be part of this program. The URJ wants our opinion on these Services, so we will
certainly oblige! Your comments will be appreciated. One great thing about this new book is the introduction of all the
transliteration to the Hebrew prayers that we do together, just like in the Shabbat Mishkan T’filah.
Below is a little synopsis of the things that are being worked on for the High Holy Days. For a detailed list of the
Services offered during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, see the back page of the Scribe.
Early Evening Services on Erev Rosh Hashanah & Kol Nidre:
Once again, we are offering an early Service on Erev Rosh Hashanah and Kol Nidre.
These Services will begin at 5:00pm.
The early 5:00pm Service will be similar to the main 8:00pm Service. Rabbi Alon will be leading the liturgy and
giving his sermon and Cantor Jessica will be leading the beautiful High Holy Days music.
If you are a Temple member or you have purchased a ticket, you are invited to attend either the early or main
Service, just bring your ticket. If you are not a Temple member, there is no charge to attend these early
evening Services at 5:00pm (as well as the Afternoon Service on Yom Kippur) but you still need a ticket to
attend. Contact the Temple office for a ticket.
Member tickets or purchased tickets are needed for all other Services (except the Children’s Services). To purchase
tickets or for more information, contact the office at 747-1109, or visit our website at www.templebetham.com.
Please remember, regardless of what Service you choose to attend, for security purposes,
you must have a ticket.
Yizkor Book
Deadline: September 2, 2014 FIRM
During the High Holy Days, and especially at the Yizkor Service on Yom Kippur, we remember family and friends
who have passed away. It is customary to make a contribution to tzedakah in honor of those for whom we say
Yizkor. One opportunity for honoring the memory of loved ones is to include their names in our annual Yizkor
Book, which also includes prayers, poems and readings. We must receive your Yizkor form by September 2nd to
include your listing. This is a FIRM deadline. The Yizkor Book is sent out for printing the next day. See
flyer in Scribe.
Babysitting During High Holy Days Services
In the spirit of KULANU there is no cost for babysitting. However, in order to
properly staff for our children’s safety, please register in advance by Sept. 15th .
See flyer in Scribe for details and to register.

“A Time & Place Just for Kids” Children K – 5th grade
During Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur Morning Services
School-aged children deserve a meaningful, engaging High Holy Days experience.
Children begin Services in the sanctuary with the congregation and leave the sanctuary
following the Torah procession for “A Time & Place Just for Kids”.
This is when and where they experience the High Holy Days through music, art, discussion,
and the eyes and ideas of their peers.
Children will return to the sanctuary with their families to hear the blowing of the Shofar.
Break-the-Fast 2014
You are invited to join us for a light Break-the-Fast following the Concluding Service
of Yom Kippur. If you are interested in sponsoring the Break-the-Fast, or to make a
donation to offset the cost, please contact Debbie Baseman at the Temple at 747-1109.
Your generosity will be greatly appreciated.
Ushers Wanted!
Can you help us with a little time during the High Holy Days? We need
volunteers to help us check tickets, hand out books and meet and greet guests during all
our Services (including the 5:00pm Services).
If you would like to help, please contact Rich Remick at 627-7736 or

CEMETERY PLOTS
MEMORIAL PLAQUES
Did you know that as a benefit of Temple
membership, you can purchase cemetery plots for
yourself and your family at a significantly discounted
price? Temple Beth Am has reserved a limited
number of cemetery plots in the Garden of Abraham
section at the Star of David Cemetery and Funeral
Chapel of the Palm Beaches (formerly known as
Menorah Gardens).
How can you honor your deceased
loved one?
By placing your loved one’s name on the Memorial
Board in the Sanctuary.
When you do this, a light on their plaque will be lit
on their Yahrzeit (anniversary of their death) and
their name will be read from the Bimah.
The price of a plot purchased from Temple Beth Am
is $1,500. If you went directly to the Star of David,
the price to purchase a plot is $2,995. Please note that
this price is for a plot only. You will need to see a
funeral director for information for additional services
and charges.
Their light will also be lit on Yom Kippur and their
name will always be included in the Yizkor Book
during the High Holy Days.
Even when you are gone, your loved one will not be
forgotten. Plaques are $500.
Remember, the number of plots is limited so if you
wish to take advantage of this benefit and purchase a
plot, please contact Margot in the Temple office at
561-747-1109 and she will gladly help you.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
David Sherman, MJEd
Director of Education
Shalom!
It is hard to believe that the summer is almost over and that the Religious School year is only weeks away. (First day of
classes is Sunday, September 7th!)
If you have not registered your children for Religious School yet, please do so TODAY! Having all the information in
on time will facilitate a smooth opening, assist with book and materials ordering, enable the teachers to get in touch with
the families, and not leave anyone out. We hope to be handing out school calendars and class lists by the end of
September, giving time for last minute registrants to be included on the lists. If you need a registration form (or want to
give one to a friend) you can pick one up at the Temple office, download it from our website, give me a call or drop me an
email and I’ll be glad to send you one.
If you would like to volunteer at the school, be a room parent, or help with holiday celebrations, please drop me an
email. Being part of the support group at TBA is a great way to meet new friends and help out at the same time. We also
still have openings for folks to help with the pizza on Tuesday afternoons (approx. 3:45pm – 5:15pm).
Please come to Temple Beth Am’s Welcome & Welcome Back Open House (full info elsewhere in the Scribe, and on
our website ~ fun for the whole family!) on Sunday, August 24th, from 11:00am– 2:00pm. And why not bring a friend
or two (or three!). This will be an opportunity to meet the teachers, catch up with friends, and (for those of you who need
to) to turn in those registration forms!
Sunday Religious School classes start on September 7th for Kindergarten – 2nd grades ONLY.
The first day of Tuesday classes will be on September 9th, for the 2 day-a-week, 3rd - 6th graders. [The 3rd - 6th graders
will start their Sundays on September 14th.]
The staggered starting dates will give each group a chance to get settled in before we rev up for the year. We will also
hold parent meetings on each of these days to give you some highlights to look forward to and to answer any questions
you may have, so please plan on staying for a bit after you drop off your child(ren).
On Tuesday evening, September 9th, Shalom Chai, our community Jewish High School, will open its doors for its 5 th
year! Shalom Chai is for 7th – 12th graders and meets on Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. There are gradebased core classes and electives which will be open across grades. We are very excited about this program – please check
us out on the web at www.templebetham.com. Please note that Shalom Chai is open to Temple Beth Am students and
their Jewish friends (even if they belong to another Temple or are unaffiliated, so be sure to share the news!).
Lastly, please feel free to call me if you have any issues about your children’s Religious School experience that you
would like to discuss. I am in the office most days, and looking forward to talking with you. If you prefer to write, my
email is: [email protected].
L’Shalom,

THE ONE SCHOOL PTO
Amy Russell, President
Welcome Back to School!!! I hope you had a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you at the PTO sponsored Ice
Cream Social on Thursday, August 14, 2014 at 6:00pm. The One School students will have an opportunity to see their
classrooms, meet their teachers and visit with the other children. We will then have an ice cream sundae bar for all children
and their families. For anyone with allergies, we will also have gluten-free, dairy-free popsicles.
As the returning President of the Parent/Teacher Organization, I feel very fortunate to be a part of The One School. My
husband, Brian, and I have a son, Kevin, who is in 3rd grade, a daughter, Hannah, who is in kindergarten and a 3 ½ year old
daughter, Sydney. Our family has been involved with the preschool since Kevin started in gradual separation and we are
members of the synagogue. I look forward to seeing all of our returning families and look forward to meeting all of our
new families.
Please save the date…our Annual Night Out has been set for Saturday, March 28, 2015 at the Abacoa Country Club.
We hope to see all of you there.
Thank you to all the families and friends of Temple Beth Am and The One School who have showed their continued
support and love for our children. We truly appreciate it!
YOUTH ENGAGEMENT

BAR MITZVAH OF
CAL FRIEDMAN
With pride, love and joy we are honored to celebrate the Bar Mitzvah of our
son, Cal Robert Friedman. Cal will be called to the Torah on August 16, 2014.
We would like to invite our congregation family to join us for the Friday Night
and Saturday Morning Service as we celebrate Cal’s accomplishment.
Cal is an honor student and member of the Pre-Law Academy at Independence
Middle School. Cal’s true passion is sports announcing and volunteers his time
announcing for various JTAA sporting events, as well as his school’s morning
announcement team, WIMS.
Cal enjoys spending time with friends and family and is frequently found on the Jumbotron at many stadiums.
Cal has been working hard in preparation for his Bar Mitzvah and we know he will shine, as he does with all things in which
he is passionate.
We want to thank our Temple family for all the help in preparation for this very special day.

BAT MITZVAH OF
SAMANTHA CLAYMAN
We are proud to announce that our daughter, Samantha Rose Clayman, will be called
to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah on August 30, 2014.
Samantha is an honor student at BAK Middle School of the Arts and will be entering
8th grade where she is a Visual Arts major. Samantha enjoys horseback riding, going
to the mall and spending time with her friends and family. She also loves playing
soccer and basketball.
Samantha’s mitzvah project involved collecting school supplies and gently used
books for children in need. All the supplies she collected were donated to the West
Jupiter Tutorial Center.
Samantha has attended Temple Beth Am’s Religious School since 1st grade. We would like to thank Rabbi Alon,
Cantor Jessica, Brett, David and all of Samantha’s teachers for helping her prepare for her Bat Mitzvah.
We are very proud of Samantha and all of her accomplishments.

Lauren Abrin Volunteers To Package Food For Israel’s Poor
This June, our congregant, Lauren Abrin, was on a Jewel (http://www.jewel4women.com/) summer program in Israel.
One of the highlights of the trip was the time she spent volunteering at Yad Ezra V’Shulamit. Yad Ezra is a charity
organization that distributes 2,500 food baskets a week to poor families all over Israel, and operates children’s centers to
which hundreds of children come to receive daily hot meals. Lauren and her friends helped package the food baskets for
distribution and all reported what a rewarding experience it was.
Many were also shocked to learn about the poverty that exists in Israel – it’s not what you usually see when you go on a
guided tour. But the volunteers felt great knowing that they had helped in their own way, and many expressed hopes to
return to Israel and volunteer there again.
If anyone is interested in volunteering or donating, please contact [email protected]. Or visit Jewel’s website at
www.yadezra.net.
