Rabbi Schiftan
I thought that it would
be fun and interesting to
do something different this
month with the Temple
View. For a change of pace,
I’ve decided to combine the
Rabbi’s column with mine,
in what is an up-close and
personal interview with
Shana Goldstein Mackler
Rabbi.............................................. ext. 221
Rabbi Schiftan. Enjoy!
Randall M. Falk
Rabbi Emeritus
Ray: I think that most people know that you left
a congregation in California to become our Rabbi,
but where were you born and where did you grow
up?
David Davis

Lynda Gutcheon
Director of Education................ ext. 233
Religious School Office.............. ext. 225
Rabbi: I was born in Mount Zion hospital in San
Francisco, California, on September 8, 1959. San
Francisco in the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s was the
epicenter of societal change for the entire country:
The hippie movement, the antiwar movement, the
sexual revolution, the gay liberation movement,
the women’s movement and the birth of the
computer information age all were headquartered
in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was -- and still is
-- a wonderfully exciting incubator of openness and
inclusiveness.
Corye Nelson
Preschool Director...................... ext. 231
Ray: I know that you are a big sports fan. Growing
up did you participate in any organized sports?
Bernard Gutcheon
Cantor Emeritus.......................... ext. 234
Lisa Crockett
Director of Finance & Operations.

Erin Zagnoev
Director of Membership &
Development................................ ext. 299
Rabbi: I played soccer through high school.
Ray: I would have guessed baseball. Why soccer?
Mitzie Russell
Executive Assistant to the Clergy &
Office Manager........................... ext. 292
Rabbi: It wasn’t nearly as popular as it is today,
but among immigrant communities -- like mine -it was immensely popular. Also, my father played
soccer “back in the day” and so that was always an
inspiration to me as well as a bond I could share
with him.
Mark Shepard
Facility Manager.......................... ext. 235
Ray: What were your favorite sports teams when
you were growing up?
Helene Dunbar
Marketing Specialist................ext. 227
Marjorie Zager
Senior Services Coordinator..... ext. 237
Rabbi: The San Francisco Giants, the 49ers and the
Golden State Warriors. The 49ers were -- along
with the Dallas Cowboys -- the most creatively
coached teams on the planet -- by far. They were
fun to watch, and it’s always enjoyable to be a fan of
a consistently competitive team...year in and year
out.

Rabbi: Well...today I’d add the Tennessee Titans to
the list. I admit I haven’t always agreed with their
choice of coaches, nor draft selections, but they are
the home team. And...as they say...”There’s always
next year”.
the University of Michigan.
Ray: When you were young, did your family belong
to a reform congregation?
Rabbi: No, we were part of a series of conservative
congregations. Again, as part of an immigrant
household, and community, Reform Judaism was
too...foreign, shall we say, to the norms and customs
of my parents and their friends.
Ray: When did you make the change to Reform
Judaism?
Rabbi: I “converted” to Reform Judaism after doing
a fair bit of reading on comparative Judaism in my
high school years, and then, during my summer
working as a counselor at the Reform Movement’s
summer camp on the west coast, called Camp
Swig. There, I came in contact with a Judaism that
emphasized social action and social justice over
ritual and religious practice. It made more sense to
me and seemed more relevant to a Jew living in the
rapidly opening society of American life. And, I met
a beautiful young woman that summer, who would
eventually become my wife. That sealed the deal.
Ray: When did you know that you wanted to be a
Rabbi?
Rabbi: I began thinking about it in High School, but
it really took hold of my long-term goals in my
college years. The combination of honoring the
legacy of parents who were holocaust survivors,
combined with the passion of the prophetic voice
of Reform Judaism, along with my experiences of
that summer at Camp Swig, and in addition to my
love of teaching, speaking, counseling and learning...
all led me towards the rabbinate.
Ray: If you had not gone to rabbinical school, what
other profession would you have pursued?
Rabbi: My other consideration was to attend law
school. I actually applied to both law school and
rabbinic school and was accepted to both. The legal
scholarship and the strong desire to argue and
debate the various sides and positions of the law
on the issues of the day, appealed to me as well.
But ultimately, the study of Tort law gave way to the
study of Talmudic law.
Ray: That’s interesting, because the professions
share a few commonalities, like listening to people’s
problems and offering advice. Of course, as a lawyer,
it’s a lot easier to tell a disgruntled client what they
can do with their business.Aren’t you glad that your
congregants are all happy campers?
Rabbi: There’s an approach I love here in the
south: We always end every interaction with the
words “Bless their hearts”. We are neither a shy
I’m also supportive of the football teams at the
University of Miami, the University of Georgia and

nor a withholding people when it comes
to expressing our opinions. As a rabbi, I can
verify the veracity of that statement. But I
do sincerely love this congregation and my
congregants: They have been patient and
loving with me...and so am I, with them.
Ray Berkt
Ray: Where did Harriet grow up, and tell us a
little more about when you first met?
Rabbi: Harriet is a native New Yorker, but her
family moved to California when she was just about three years old.
Her father had the vision to move the family to an idyllic town right
next to Palo Alto, the home of Stanford University. We met in June of
1978, thirty-five years ago, in what today is known as Silicon Valley, at
Camp Swig, the Reform Movement’s summer camp on the west coast.
That day in June of 1978 turned out to be the very best day of my life.
Ray: What do you enjoy doing with your free time?
Rabbi: Walking, reading, watching movies and sports, dining out.
Spending time with my wife, with friends and family.
Ray: What type of movies do you like to watch?
& Yoko. Actually, I have quite a few pictures, but only one where it’s just
the three of us. For the record, I had longer hair than John.
Rabbi:YOU had hair? When?
Ray: That’s harsh. What type of books do you enjoy?
Rabbi: Spy thrillers, mysteries and biographies.
Ray: Favorite authors?
Rabbi: My favorite current writer is Daniel Silva, the spy thriller novelist.
I’m also partial to the humorous musings of David Sedaris. And Billy
Crystal’s new book is also on my nightstand.
Ray: I know that you enjoy traveling. What are your favorite places, not
counting Nashville?
Rabbi: Carmel, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco and Santa Barbara -- all in
California.
Any beach town in Florida on 30-A. New York City.
Paris -- as a favorite foreign city.
Italy -- as my favorite foreign country.
And, of course, Jerusalem: The Holy City of the Jewish people.
Rabbi: As my friends will tell you, my days are full of giving comfort
and support to the real life troubles faced by others. So...rarely will I
choose to see anything heavy, or serious. I like romantic comedies and
light hearted stuff.
Ray: Favorite foods?
Ray: Do you have a favorite film?
Ray: What is the best Chinese restaurant in America?
Rabbi: My very favorite film of all time is Casablanca. I have seen
it dozens of times and I just love it. While in Morocco a couple of
summers ago, I was humbled to learn that none of it -- not a single
scene of the movie -- was filmed there.
Rabbi: Should I say Chinatown in Green Hills???
No, my very favorite, with the very best Chinese food in all of America,
is Chef Chu’s in Los Altos, California. We had our rehearsal dinner
there, 27 years ago.
Ray:Yes, the magic of Hollywood. What’s your favorite genre of music?
Ray: Tell us your favorite restaurants in Nashville.
Rabbi: My favorite music is the classic soft rock music of the 60’s, 70’s
and 80’s. I’m embarrassed to say that I also enjoyed the disco music of
the 80’s as well, in a “What was I thinking?” kind of way. I have come to
really enjoy much of the contemporary country music of recent years.
And -- true confession -- as my colleagues will tell you -- I have a bit
of a love for some Christmas carols as well. But only the ones written
by Jews.
Rabbi: Sperry’s, Flemings, and Sonobana, on the local scene.
A few storefront ethnic spots out on Murfreesboro road as well.
And Tex’s barbecue, Jack’s barbeque, and Breaux’s on Charlotte.
Ray: John Travolta would be pleased to hear that. Favorite bands?
Rabbi: The Beatles (still), Chicago, Crosby, Stills and Nash (and Young).
Ray: You will be pleased to know that I have a picture of me with John
Rabbi:Virtually any ethnic cuisine, especially Italian and Asian.
Virtually any dessert of quality -- especially anything involving and
including ice cream or gelato, its Italian cousin.
Ray: What would you rather eat, sushi or gefilte fish?
Rabbi: Isn’t gefilte fish just Jewish sushi?
Truthfully: Sushi, any day, with sincere apologies to my ancestors.
And to my mother.
Ray: Good choice. Thank you for sharing a little personal information
about yourself with our Temple family.
IRA Charitable Rollover Opportunity to Help Support The Temple

Social Action
Nashville Adult Literacy Council (NALC)
Each month we highlight an organization which receives funds through the Temple’s Social Action Allocations
NALC uses volunteers to teach US-born adults to read and teaches English to adult immigrants. Last year, NALC spent
approximately $37,000 on books. Services and materials are always free to the learner. In the past year, NALC served 1,800
adult learners and worked with 600 volunteer tutors. Even though they continue to increase the numbers of volunteers,
demand for services continues to exceed the supply of tutors. Funding from Social Action Allocations was awarded to offset
book and material expenses, which are critical to the program. being used to provide professional
bilingual tutoring in Somalian and Spanish.

Religious School Students Plan for Blessing Projects
With Chanukah officially coming to an end, we are busy in the Religious School planning for the many blessings projects
in which our students will participate in the upcoming weeks. Our Kindergarten will be hosting a brunch for our seniors,
our 1st graders will visit Jewish Family Service and bring school supplies which are sorely needed for Jewish families in our
community. Our 3rd graders will be working at Second Harvest and our 9th graders will take a bus with Dr. Bob Miller to
visit the communities that use Shade Tree, a free clinic in East Nashville. Our 6th graders are in the process of creating their
own blessing bracelets with the help and guidance of Terry Kornman. Our second graders have been writing a Blessings Book
which will debut in the Spring. It is a busy and exciting time and as 2014 approaches we are all grateful for the continued
blessings in our lives.
Right: 4th Graders, as
part of their study of how
traditions are created in
a family, gather in the
memorial alcove to talk
about remembrance.
Above: Jason Westly, one of our new 1st grade teachers,
talks with the 3rd grade about his Conversion as part
of their study of The Book of Ruth. Jason brought his
Conversion Certificate to share with the class.
Above: Judge Dan Eisenstein, who is a regular guest in our Religious School,
creates an actual Courtroom situation to show students what actually happens
in our courts today. They then learn about the court system of ancient day
during the reign of Deborah the Judge.
Right: Ellie Ruben and Dillon
Aronoff, along with their
classmates participate in a “Let’s
Learn – Let’s Pretend” event to
showcase how we celebrate a
Jewish Wedding. Each student had
an important role and the event
was capped off with a reception
and dancing.
Above: Spencer Klinsky and Adam
Bednowitz are among the group of 9th
Graders who cooked dinner for the opening
night of Room-in-the-Inn. As part of the
Jewish Lens project, students made a
complete meal and came in the following
evening to serve dinner to our guests.
Robb McClusky spent time talking with the
students about this important
“Blessings” project.

Preschool
by Jan Huettner & Corye Nelson
A Holiday Wish
As we come to the close of our first semester of
Temple Preschool, it is astounding to realize how we have
continued to change and grow from year to year. We
have recently teamed up with local community partners
in order to expand our horizons by learning more about
the area in which we live. We have provided diapers to
those who were not able to afford their own. We have
continued to learn from our Reggio Emilia study groups
which have passed on valuable ideas and information
to our classrooms. The first stage of our playground
renovations has taken place, thanks to some supportive
teachers, staff, significant others, and parents. We have
added a new stage area, as well as mud sinks, art shelves
and a musical wall- all of which has served to stimulate
creative thinking in our children. In their classrooms,
the students have been hard at work creating pieces of
individualized art to be displayed in the Temple’s Gallery
(meeting rooms A & B) for the third year in a row. We
invite you all to view this showcase during the months of
December and January.
As we prepare for the winter holiday, it is easy to see
the progress that has taken place this year. With visions of
bullying and violence in the daily headlines, it has been an
important goal that we establish a warm, safe and caring
classroom environment. This leads to high expectations for
respectful interactions. We have talked about the importance
of staying healthy by exercising, eating nourishing foods and
practicing good habits such as washing hands. We have made
a point of emphasizing social and emotional good health…
learning to make positive choices, interacting with others in
a supportive, friendly manner. Showing our children how to
resolve conflict by learning to work out disagreements and
how to work with each other to negotiate solutions has been
another important emphasis. Finally, we have watched our
children make strides by problem solving and learning about
feelings such as empathy and support, leading to their ability
to refocus and redirect their attention to a peaceful result.
During this holiday season, we wish you all the joy of
knowledge, family, love and peace.
