CHUTZPAH
Rabbi Michael Alper
In the month of May we celebrate the holiday of
Shavuot. Even though Shavuot is one of the three major
pilgrimage festivals in Judaism, it is one of our lesser
known holidays. That may be because there are simply
not as many customs and traditions associated with it
as there are with some of our other holidays. In terms
of food (the most memorable factor of many holidays),
we eat dairy items on Shavuot — ice cream, blintzes,
and cheesecake tend to be the highlights. We read the
story of the receiving of the Ten Commandments during
services. And, in the Reform movement, we celebrate
Confirmation, when our high school students reconfirm
their commitment to Judaism in a communal ceremony
before the congregation.
While each of these traditions is significant, Shavuot still
doesn’t seem to have the magic of other holidays. It’s
missing the lights of Chanukah, the stories of Passover,
the solemnity of Yom Kippur. Yet if we skip out on
Shavuot, we are missing a beautiful Jewish holiday, and,
in my opinion, one of the most meaningful Jewish texts
in the entire Tanakh (Bible).
On Shavuot, in addition to reading about the giving
of the Ten Commandments, we also read the Book of
Ruth. Ruth tells the story of a young non-Jewish woman
whose Jewish husband dies early on in their marriage.
While she could have returned to her own family
after his passing, she insists, instead, on staying with
her bereft mother-in-law Naomi. She says to Naomi,
“Whither thou goest, I will go; whither thou lodgest, I will
lodge; thy people will be my people, thy God my God.”
This is one of those times when I find that the King
James English translation is particularly poignant.
In the story, Ruth does indeed stay with Naomi, and
the two go on to forge a new path in the world. Ruth
eventually marries another relative of Naomi’s, and goes
on to have a son. It is from Ruth’s line that King David is
born, and Ruth is known throughout history as the first
Jew-by-choice.
What I love most about this story, though, is not the
concept of conversion, or even the story of David’s
lineage. What I love is Ruth’s promise to Naomi. We
don’t know if Ruth had a sense what she was getting
herself into when she made those promises to her
mother-in-law. Did she know what being a Jew would
mean? Did she know where Naomi’s travels would take
her? In fact, Naomi is so depressed that she seems
almost ready to give up on life. It is very possible that
their path together might have been a tragic one.
What is clear, though, is the sense of loyalty and love in
Ruth’s vow. She was ready to follow Naomi to the ends
of the world because of their shared history and love.
Maybe it was that promise that enabled their journey
to be a happy one with such a positive ending, one that
forever impacted the Jewish future for the good.
There are times when we all question our path moving
forward, where we wonder what the future holds.
But when we have people in our lives who matter more
than anything, being able to promise that we will make
the journey together makes it all seem a bit easier. It
makes the road ahead less frightening, and is a way of
giving strength and support in even the most uncertain
hours. May we each find the love, companionship
and devotion that Ruth and Naomi shared, both as
individuals and as a community. May we find that
companionship makes our lives better and brighter,
and easier to face any challenge that lies ahead.

Shaare Emeth and Temple Israel
Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why are Shaare Emeth and Temple Israel
considering creating a new entity?
• Shaare Emeth and Temple Israel, two of the
strongest Reform Jewish congregations in St. Louis,
are working together to explore the creation of a
stronger and more vibrant congregation dedicated
to learning, celebrating and living our faith.
We’re considering a new approach that no single
congregation could accomplish on its own.
• At its core, Reform Judaism is about change and
responsiveness to evolving needs of the world
around us. These plans will help us do just that.
Our primary goals are to foster deeper connections
in the Jewish community and try a new model
for engaging all of our members. Bringing these
congregations together will give our members
access to more resources and new services.
2) What are the benefits to members and the greater
Jewish community?
• Our combined community will be built around
congregations, we are committed to creating an
innovative Reform Jewish community that preserves
for all members.
3) Is this move a result of financial issues for one or
both synagogues? How much will this cost?
• No. We’re in an excellent position to talk about
integration. Both of our congregations are strong
financially and our missions are aligned. If we move
forward, we would come together as equals, by
choice. Together, our congregations could create cost
efficiencies by combining services and programming
we’re duplicating. This is a way to reinvest in our
community, helping to build a stronger and more
vibrant congregation. We view this as a merger of

• If our congregations choose to merge, we believe
that there is a greater number of projects, programs
and efforts we could establish. Our goal is to assess
current efforts and develop a plan of action that will
best benefit the combined community.
• At a time when Jewish congregations are facing

How long have they been in the works?
• We wanted to present a full and thought-out
concept that made sense for both congregations.

evaluate the approach to ensure it supports both of
our missions.

6) What is the process and timeline for making
decisions?
• We presented the concept to both of our boards
on April 16, 2013.
• Our exploration process includes three phases of due
diligence, which we will discuss at upcoming town
hall meetings. Throughout each phase we’ll discuss a
number of aspects, including programming, building
needs, staffing and more. The final vote will go to
both congregations in late 2013 or early 2014.
• We invite members to join us at their congregation’s
upcoming town hall meetings to get involved and
find out more about the process.
9) Where will the new congregation be housed?
What will happen to the two buildings?
• Our first step is to evaluate and consider our assets.
We need to assess what our shared community
might need before we make decisions on facilities.
An evaluation of our facilities is scheduled to take
place in the first phase of the process. It’s a longterm process, and it’s going to take time.
10) What will happen to programming at each
synagogue? How will we blend our two cultures
and unique histories?
• Shaare Emeth and Temple Israel are two of the
strongest Reform Jewish congregations in St. Louis.
Throughout the evaluation process, programming
will continue as usual. We plan to take a closer look
at what we’re doing well, where we’re duplicating
programming and determine what’s best for a shared
community. Our goal is to bring together the best of

Throughout this year we have conducted special
school-wide celebrations of holidays and special events
in order to reinforce classroom lessons with interactive
learning experiences. On April 14, we celebrated Israel’s
65th birthday with an Israel Street Fair. We were joined
by Reva Frankel, our education fellow from the Institute
for Southern Jewish Life (ISJL), who assisted with
the program.
Each student received a passport and shekels to take
with them on their “journey” through Israel. As each
class traveled throughout Israel, students visited the
Kotel, the Western Wall, to write prayers that will be
taken to Israel in May; experienced the healing power of
mud from the Dead Sea; played the Israeli game Ga-Ga
in Eilat; sampled Middle Eastern food and participated
in an invention program in Tel Aviv; designed Yom
Ha’atzmaut (Israel Independence Day) posters in
Yokneam; and learned Israeli folk dancing and Krav
Maga (Israeli martial arts).
