TBI Board President Denise Kirschbaum The High Holy Days are behind us, and it is a time for new beginnings. For the leadership of our congregation, it is a time to look forward to working together to fulfill the vision of Temple B’nai Israel. How will we do this? Our upcoming events appeal to various ages and interests – participate in whatever suits you. Better yet, join the committee working on that event. Shabbat on the beach, Blue Jean Shabbat, Simcha Shabbat, Friday Night Live and traditional Shabbat services will continue so that each congregant’s spiritual needs can be met. What about personal growth? Check out TBI’s adult education classes. Construction of our new sanctuary, social hall, and chapel will commence in this New Year. This too is a new beginning. We will see the beginnings of a new, more beautiful, vibrant synagogue. Of course we will strive to be the caring, compassionate, and welcoming community we have always been, and then some. I am truly blessed to be given the opportunity to collaborate with our wonderful temple staff and congregational family. May your New Year be sweet, healthy, happy, and peaceful. L’Shalom, Denise Thank you to our latest Preserving Our Future Campaign Donors: Mel and Jan Cohen Risa and Bill Demers Jerome Granoff Myrna Katz Director of Membership Engagement Barbara Bloom Now that the High Holidays are just about behind us, it’s a great time to start thinking about putting some of those “extraordinary” details of life in order. Perhaps every year you get to check off one of those tasks that may keep you up at night: Should I get rid of my land line phone? Should I check my emergency contacts with the Dept. of Motor Vehicles? Have I made some plans for when it’s my time to leave this earth? Too often I have sat with families during a time of personal crisis trying to figure out where and how to make funeral arrangements. The best gift you can give yourself and your family is to have a plan in place. When is the last time you had this discussion? I urge you to take this time of the new year to make decisions, act, and get it off your mind. The Temple presently has cemetery plots available at two wonderful locations: Curlew Hills Memory Gardens on Curlew Road in Clearwater, and our beautiful new garden at Serenity Gardens on Indian Rocks Road in Largo/Seminole. Currently the prices for plots are: Curlew Hills - $2500 and Serenity Gardens - $2800 per plot. Payment plan are always available. I am always available to help you with this difficult, yet necessary task. BARBARA Our Newest Temple Members Jenny Alexander Mark, Yijun, Sarah, and Charlie Oberlander Sherwood Sarles Herbert and Jane Wollowick 20 14 20 15 Feed your mind, feed your soul, find your community here at Temple B’nai Israel with these educational opportunities Saturdays Wednesdays (cont’d) Wednesdays BEGINNING HEBREW CLASS Fee for Temple Members: $20.00 (cost of book) Fee for Non-Temple Members: $50.00 Wednesdays 6:00-7:00 PM Classes begin: October 22 - January 28 Instructor: Denise Kirschbaum This very popular class is offered to adults who have never studied the Hebrew language and/or those who simply wish to “brush up” a “dusty” memory. In the Spring we will continue our Hebrew program with both “Advanced Beginner” and “Intermediate” Hebrew classes. We will be using a Hebrew primer that has proven to be reader/beginner-friendly. LEARNER’S MINYAN - SHABBAT MORNING STUDY AND PRAYER EXPERIENCE Fee: NONE Saturday 10:30 AM Dates: Nov. 15, Dec. 13, Feb. 28, Apr. 4 (Pesach morning) May 2—Each service followed by a Kiddush lunch Instructor: Rabbi Treiser & Danielle Rodnizki After journeying through the Shabbat morning prayer service last year, we will continue to explore the themes of the prayers as we celebrate Shabbat together. Join with Danielle and Rabbi Treiser in a series of services where we will come to understand our prayer customs and appreciate the beauty and meaning of our services. GOD, TORAH & ISRAEL: PERSPECTIVES FROM GREAT JEWISH THINKERS Fee for Members: NONE Fee for Non-Temple Members: NONE Wednesdays 7:00 PM Dates: Begins October 29 - December 3 (not 11/26) Instructor: Rabbi Treiser Buber, Rosenzweig, Heschel, Kaplan — these and more great Jewish minds contributed to our understanding of God and the world. Together we’ll explore some of their most famous teachings and how they can inform our decisions and our lives today. After last year’s successful class on the early philosophers, this class will focus on the thinkers of the 20th century. TORAH STUDY WITH RABBI Fee for Members: NONE Fee for Non-Temple Members: $30.00 per year Wednesdays 8:00 - 9:00 PM Classes begin: October 22, 2014 Instructor: Rabbi Daniel Treiser As we celebrate Simchat Torah, we mark the beginning of the Torah Reading cycle. So too it is time for us to return to our weekly Torah study class. This year, we “begin at the end”, and start our study with the final book of the Torah, Deuteronomy. Each week, we continue right where we left off. Even if you weren’t in the Torah class last year or if you have never studied Torah before, this is a wonderful place to begin, as we not only learn the stories, but also to discover how it relates to our modern day lives. If you are a Torah Study “veteran”, this is for you, too. As it says in the Talmud, “Turn it, turn it, turn it again….” There’s always something new to discover in the Torah! Sundays INTRODUCTION TO JUDAISM Fee for Members: NONE (There will be books to purchase) Fee for Non-Temple Members: $100 (Plus books) Sundays 9:15 –10:15 am Classes Begin: January 2015 (14 weeks) Instructor: Rabbi Treiser Back to the Basics, Judaism 101. This class, open to the entire community, will explore some of the basic Jewish teachings of our tradition. We will learn about the Jewish calendar and holidays, life-cycle, Bible, basic understandings of Jewish philosophical thought and Israel. This class is designed for those who are involved in interfaith relationships, for anyone considering converting to Judaism, anyone interested in Adult B’nai Mitzvah, or anyone simply looking for a “refresher course” on the basics of Judaism. SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE MOVIES Fee: NONE No need to sign up. Just watch your Temple Bulletin for “coming attractions” and dates. We hope to have one movie each month on a Sunday at 2:00 PM. Bring your friends! Free popcorn and liquid refreshments (nonalcoholic)! Check the bulletin for movie schedules. CONTACT THE TEMPLE OFFICE AT (727) 531-5829 OR [email protected] TO REGISTER FOR ANY OF THESE CLASSES. Dani Gamson Religious School Director “You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” ― A.A.

Wishing everyone L’Shana Tovah, Steffi Rosenbaum – Chai 5 President Women of Temple B’nai Israel Hope you had a very wonderful New Year and that 5775 will be healthy, safe and full of happiness. The Jewish High Holy days means something different to everyone. For me, it is always a time to think back over the past year and, then, ahead to the new year to decide what I can do better or maybe differently. As I write this, I think of three funeral services that I have to attend in the next 10 days for 3 friends. One in particular was a member of our Temple family and she became my friend. She was only 64 when she died. I spoke to her about a week before she passed away and I tried, the best that I could, to comfort her with words but somehow that never seemed enough. I guess that what I learned (or maybe already knew) was to make sure that every time I see my friends or talk to them, I express how much I cherish their friendship and, yes, even love them. WTBI has given me the gift of friendship, support and, yes, love and allows me to have a Florida “family” with whom I can share my life. I would like to invite all Temple women to experience the same Florida “family” that I have. It can truly be a life raft in a sea of troubled water. We have some great events coming up. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. At 7:00 p.m. on October 14th in the TBI Sukkah, we will have a program discussing breast health and early detection methods. Our guest speaker is our own Elaine Miller, RN. This is a program that all of our women and men, too, should attend. October 21st is our monthly Rosh Chodesh program. The subject is being called our “Bucket List”. Think about what you want to do or dream of doing at some point in your life. This should be a fun and insightful program. It is being held at my home, 964 Porter Dr., Largo.

Our B’nai Mitzvah Bar Mitzvah - Nolan Pollack October 18, 2014 Nolan is a 7th grader at Morgan Fitzgerald Middle School. His favorite activity is to captain a motor boat out on the water. In fact, he would prefer to be on a boat to just about any other place. He spends every summer at Camp Sea Gull in North Carolina honing his boating skills and has earned some of the highest ranks at camp. When he’s not on a boat, he’s happiest with his friends, with a good book, on a computer, or with his friends on the computer. Nolan is excited to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah weekend with his friends and family, including those who are local and those who are making the trek from Maine, California, New York, Colorado, Arizona, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Massachusetts!
