Social Action and Advocacy Shabbat
Occasionally during regular Kabbalat Shabbat Service, usually
on the third Friday of the month, Shaare Emeth hosts a local
expert to speak on a social action topic relevant to the St. Louis
Jewish community. Some past topics and speakers include:
hunger and food insecurity, Lift for Life Academy charter
middle school, Gateway to Hope and breast cancer treatment for
uninsured and underinsured individuals, and the advancement of
music in underserved schools.
Counting Our Blessings
Can I Do Anything Else for You?
V
isiting a friend in the hospital
recently, I was reminded of
a simple truth. My friend
commented that he was truly touched by
the fact that seemingly every person with
whom he came in contact at the hospital
ended their interaction with him by
asking, “Can I do anything else for you?”
The doorman who welcomed him as he entered, the orderly who
wheeled him to his room, the food service delivery person, and
the person who cleaned his room all asked, “Can I do anything
else for you?” Clearly, this particular hospital has trained its
staff well in the theory and practice of customer service. Patients
feel that they matter, and that everyone they meet at the hospital
cares about them.
Imagine what our world would be like if we all approached
life like this. Our Jewish tradition implies that we should. Treat
others with dignity and respect, seek justice, work for peace,
“love your fellow human being as you love yourself,” the Torah
teaches. When you see your neighbor’s ox struggling under its
burden, you must offer to help. Feed the hungry. Visit the sick.
It is not enough to take care of our own needs. When we think
we have done all we are supposed to do, well, then we must ask
if there is anything else we can do.
The debates that occupy our civic discourse seem to revolve
around this tension. On the one hand, everyone is worried
about him or herself. Do I have “enough?” Will I have enough?
Enough food, enough money, enough health care… On the other
hand, there are so many with “less” than us – less money, less
food, less health care, less everything. And there is enough,
more than enough, for everyone. In this world, abundant in
blessings, no one should be hungry, homeless, impoverished,
without healthcare, without the basic needs of life. Each of us
has the ability to do our own little part to help. Of course, we
cannot eliminate all the need on our own, but we can each do
some small act that makes a difference – we can all do more
than we are doing. And we must. Doing nothing for others is
simply unacceptable.
We can begin in the smallest of ways by asking the next person
we see, “Can I do anything else for you?” When we do our jobs,
we can ask if there is anything else we can do to go above and
!"#$%&'()*"%(+"(,-./(..(+*01(+"(,"".(23($-4(4"35$%32!2.21#(1$(
those we love or with whom we live, we can then ask, “is there
anything else I can do for you?” When we reach out to others
out of obligation, we can ask if there is anything more we might
&$(6$.-%1042.#'()*"%(+"(,-./(..($-4(3$720.(4"35$%32!2.21#(!#(
paying our taxes, or voting, we might think about what we can
do voluntarily to make even more of a difference. When we see
someone suffering, we can ask them if we can do something
1$(0.."6201"("6"%(0(380..(08$-%1($,(1*"24(502%'()*"%(+"(,-./(..(
our obligation to our families, our jobs, our community, our
Temple, we can ask if there is anything more we can do to make
a difference.
As I left my friend’s room, of course, I bid farewell by asking
him: “Can I do anything else for you?” And so I ask you as well,
“Can I do anything else for you?”

From the President
Why Congregation Shaare Emeth Belongs to
the Union for Reform Judaism and Why We
Are Asking You to Support It
E
ach family unit of Congregation
Shaare Emeth is asked to pay
$97 as their share of our URJ
membership dues. We have belonged to
the URJ since 1876 because we believe
that it takes a movement to do the things
that no single congregation can do alone,
!"#$%&!%$%&'$('"')$%*$+,$('-+"./".$%+$
the URJ clearly outweigh the cost of membership. Our URJ
membership dues are payable regardless of whether or not our
Members each pay the $97 they are billed. Your decision not to
pay the $97 means that other Temple programs may have less
funding because of our obligation to pay URJ membership dues.
Why belong to the URJ? Among other things,
0$ The URJ supports nearly 900 congregations in North America
by convening groups of congregations working toward similar goals and facing comparable challenges.
0$ The URJ hosts extensive online resources for expert advice, program banks, peer knowledge sharing, and virtual discussions.
0$ The URJ assembles groups of expert practitioners to work
with congregations on social justice, Israel, early childhood
education, worship and more.
You can learn more about the URJ by visiting their website,
www.urj.org.
One only needs to attend a URJ/WRJ
Biennial to gain an appreciation of
the URJ. Thirteen members of Shaare
Emeth joined 5,000 other attendees
at this year’s Biennial and received
%1'2'"#+3*$('"')$%*$!*$!$1'*3-%$+,$
their attendance: Ken Birenbaum, a
new member of the URJ board; Bob
Tucker; Liessa Alperin; Greg Yawitz;
Amy Ogle; seven members of the
Sisterhood of Shaare Emeth including
Soozi Waxman (a member
4
of the WRJ Board), Lesley Levin
(a new member of the WRJ Board), Dana Gaby Windsor, Jerri
Livingston, Melanie Brimer, Julie Richter and Adrienne Eigles
(Sisterhood president); and yours truly.
Paying our URJ dues allows us to consult with URJ staff to help
problem solve and see what other congregations of similar size are
doing in this ever-changing environment. I was able to personally
meet with URJ staff in one-on-one consulting sessions while at the
Biennial. I also sat in on many educational workshops.
The URJ operates the Religious Action Center (the RAC) of
Reform Judaism in Washington, D.C. For over 50 years, the
RAC has been the hub of Jewish social justice and legislative
activity in Washington, D.C. It educates and mobilizes the
Reform Jewish community on legislative and social concerns,
advocating on more than 70 different issues including economic
justice, civil rights, religious liberty, Israel and more.
The URJ also understands the urgency of engaging the next
generation in progressive Jewish life. Each year the URJ engages
20,000 participants in URJ youth, teen, camp and Israel programs
who join the URJ network of more than 500,000 alumni. The
URJ also operates 13 summer camps, including Camp GUCI
in Indiana and the new 6 Points Sci-Tech Academy for students
in grades 5-9. The URJ also spearheads the North American
Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY). It has been proven that
children who attend a Jewish camp or participate in youth group
have more Jewish friends, are more inclined to raise a Jewish
family when they become adults, and
are more likely to stay actively engaged
members of a Jewish community. That
is one more reason to support the URJ.
If you haven’t already paid your $97
invoice for URJ, please consider doing
so. Don’t forget, you can always email
me with questions or comments at
[email protected]. Thank you.

Gratitude
A More Intentional Approach to First Friday
“Rabbi, is it OK if we bring our little ones to services this Friday night? I know it’s not a children’s
service, but we were thinking of coming anyway. Is that all right?”
“Cantor, we wanted to come to services last Friday night, but the kids are just too little. We tried
taking them to a service once last year, but they couldn’t sit still and it wasn’t worth the frustration.”
T
hese are
questions
and
statements that we
hear quite a bit.
In response, we
wanted to point out
a poem from our
!"#$%&'()*+(,&$ prayer book by Rabbi Sidney Greenberg that
reads in part:
What is changing is how we integrate and welcome our
youngest members of the Congregation into the service. Those
seven and younger are invited to meet Cantor Warner in the
6"'0$*"52%1%4$(('%7&'*$(#%-(4+5(%$8(%#(5.&0(%$+%!("5'%"%#+'9%+5%
two. Children will have the opportunity to sing from the bema,
if they wish, and to have a special rhythm instrument during
their songs. Parents will be invited to bless their children.
Members of the Congregation without children will have an
important role, too. Our goal is to involve the entire community
in the celebration of Shabbat.
May the door of this synagogue be wide enough to
-*.*"/*(&,,(0$1($2'3*-(41-(,1/*5
Giving our children the gift of feeling at home in their
synagogue – of feeling comfortable with the prayers of their
people, of spending time with them in a place that is not about
acquiring or winning or rushing or chasing, but simply about
being – this is one of the most important ways we can nourish
our young children’s souls. Children belong in the sanctuary,
with us as we celebrate and rejoice and pray for healing and as
we remember our loved ones each Shabbat. They belong there,
even when they are not sitting perfectly quiet and still. It is
worth us taking the time and making the effort and enduring the
frustrations and celebrating the successes of sitting with them as
we all learn what it means to pray together.

The poem expresses our desire to create a community and a
place to worship where all are welcome and where concern for
our neighbors’ well-being is always expressed; a place where
joys are celebrated and sorrows are shared; a place where we
learn and teach and grow and make space for one another. The

responsibility to make the sanctuary a welcoming place to the
youngest members of our Congregation.
As you know, we have dedicated the First Friday of each
month as a time for our Congregation to worship together with
our youngest members and their families. This is not changing.
In fact, we want to make the experience even more thoughtful
and intentional. Children seven and younger will still have
the opportunity to hear an age-appropriate story during the
service. Adults will still have the chance to hear the Torah read
and a sermon.
We look forward to seeing you on Friday, Feb. 7, for our next
First Friday Shabbat celebration, beginning with a light nosh at
5:15 p.m. and followed by services at 6 p.m.!

Shaare Emeth To Receive Grant
for Infusing Mindfulness and
Character Development
C
ongregation Shaare Emeth has been selected to participate in the Institute for Jewish
Spirituality’s Tikkun Middot Project, a ground-breaking initiative to integrate
mindfulness practice and character development in 28 Jewish faith communities, led
by clergy or lay leaders trained in mindfulness practice by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality.
As a participant, Shaare Emeth has been awarded a $7500 grant to implement its plan to
infuse mindfulness and character development throughout all aspects of the Congregation.
The individual leaders of these 28
Jewish communities (which includes
synagogues, a rabbinical seminary,
Hillel and JCC), will engage personally
in an intensive, ten-month program
of integrating mindfulness with the
!"#$%&'$%()*(+*,-.!%/*!*!(0.*#),,"&, or
ethical and spiritual qualities, such as humility, patience, honor, mindful speech, and trust.
They will then lead a select group of staff and lay leaders from their community in a similar
process utilizing the same curriculum. Finally, from September 2014 through June 2015, each
of the 28 communities will integrate this curriculum and approach throughout all aspects and
demographics of their community’s life.
Rabbis Andrea Goldstein and Jim Bennett, along with Shaare Emeth Members Renee
Silverstein and Josh Wallach, will be among 60 or so leaders who, in late February 2014,
will attend a three day orientation conference in Newark, N.J., during which participants
will explore the nexus between mindfulness and character development practice, as well as a
system theory approach to introducing innovation.
The Institute for Jewish Spirituality’s Tikkun Middot Project is made possible through the
support of a grant from the John Templeton Foundation.

died in 1995 of sudden cardiac arrest at the age of 12. After learning that sudden cardiac
arrest kills one person every 90 seconds, including several thousand children each year,
David’s family began using David’s Fund to protect children – and the teachers, staff,
and families who surround them – by placing AEDs in schools.
AEDs are small, easy-to-use devices that, quite simply, save lives. In the event of
sudden cardiac arrest every second counts, and immediate use of an AED can make
the difference between life and death. With automatic voice and text prompts to guide
rescuers, these devices are so simple to use that any bystander can safely operate them.
The new AED has been placed near the main entrance to Shirlee Green Preschool, just
outside the kitchen. This AED is equipped for both adults and children. An AED is also
available in the Temple’s main hallway off the Lobby near the Auditorium doors. We
hope you will take a moment to note their locations.
While we sincerely hope this AED will never be needed, we are pleased to accept this
extra level of safety in David’s memory. For more information on David’s Fund, please

to an incredible world no longer beyond their grasp. At Shaare

Jewish education includes the gift of teaching our students to

students to the sounds of Hebrew, their formal learning of the
language begins in third grade.

HiNrg – This chug will bring a gymnastics and tumbling component to our !"#$%&.
3DVW)DYRULWHV
Soccer Shots – A nationally recognized program which offers a high energy, fun, ageappropriate introduction to the game of soccer. Their innovative curriculum emphasizes
both soccer skills and character development. Their goal is simple: to leave a lasting,
positive impact on every child they serve.
Kids in the Kitchen – Professional chef AJ Moll brings expertise and fun to our
cooking chug where campers learn about and make healthy foods and snacks (AJ runs
the lunch program and teaches cooking classes at SMJCS)
Clowning Around and I Love Science – Both of these !"#$%& are led by Brian Peck
who brings amazing experiments and a love of science. In addition, Brian (aka Boo the
Clown) brings the excitement of learning and performing clowning skills.
Starstruck – Always a popular chug, Starstruck gives our campers the opportunity to
show off their singing and dancing skills. Led by Danielle Lydon, participants perform
for the whole camp on the Friday of their chug week.

The Greatness of Leadership
T
he greatness of a leader lies not
in his/her perfection. Turning to
the example Moses set, nothing
could be more evident. One familiar with
the legend of his life instantly recalls that
because of one imperfection Moses is not
granted permission to enter the Promised
Land. His temper offends God, even if we
grant God’s rebuke as a case of “the pot calling the kettle black.”
So, Moses’ greatness must lie elsewhere. That elsewhere is
illustrated by his reaction to unsolicited wisdom from none
other than an underemployed outside consultant, his father-inlaw. Jethro points out that Moses is draining precious energy
!"#$%&'$()*!%+,-%&'(%.%#/0%12%$'/"#%$+,+3',3%$+44)"(5%6#()(%
listens and remedies his behavior accordingly.
In essence, Jethro recommends Moses embrace “capable”
collaborators. The father-in-law, however, does not specify what
he means by “capable”—an opening for biblical analysts to go
to town. One prominent analysis: “Capable” means “wealthy.”
Another: “Capable” means “insightful.” In both cases, the
analysts have the same intent. Capable collaborators withstand
distractive, albeit well-meaning, bribery and blackmail. They
walk the path of righteousness and keep faith with their
constitutional mission. They not only can sleep at night, they
have a sense of self associated with, but independent from the
group and an immunity from, scoliosis of the moral spine.
“Capable,” as articulated by Jethro and as acknowledged by
Moses, is critical for smooth and trustworthy organizational
development. Yet, as suggested by “collaborators,” Jethro’s
intervention is prompted by the failure of a system that is relying
too heavily on centralized control.
Decentralized control has distinct advantages. It mindfully
projects a respect for individuality. It welcomes diversity and
experimentation. It underscores the importance of teamwork for
the success of its mission.
The B’nai El Collaborative is founded on Jethro’s model.

Meet the Leadership of The B’nai El Collaborative
T
he partnership between the former B’nai El
Congregation and Congregation Shaare Emeth is
sustained through the efforts of two leadership groups,
one of which is the Collaborative Advisory Cabinet.
The charge of the CAC is to oversee, monitor and evaluate The
B’nai El Collaborative and its relationship with Shaare Emeth
+,-%4#%$#,'4#"%4&)%!7*8%**$),4%#!%4&)%9#**+1#"+4':);(%$'(('#,5%
The Cabinet is comprised of three B’nai
El Members of Origin: Amye Carrigan,
Steve Muchnick, and Craig Roth, and
three Shaare Emeth Members of Origin:
Randy Brodsky, Carl Moskowitz, and
Lesley Levin.
Lesley is a licensed Clinical Social Worker and recently retired
as the President/CEO of Behavioral Health Response, the
Eastern Region of Missouri Crisis System.
As a Para Rabbinic Fellow, Lesley serves many functions in the
Jewish community including conducting funerals, stone settings,
shiva minyans and leading Sabbath morning services. She has been
a member of Congregation Shaare Emeth for the past 28 years.
Lesley is currently the President of the Board of Directors of
NAMI St. Louis, Vice President of the Sisterhood of Shaare
Emeth, and on the boards of Covenant Place, the Women of
Reform Judaism and CHADS Coalition. She has been married
to Mark Levin for nearly 42 years and is the proud mother of
Sara and Joshua. Lesley loves to ride her motorcycle, knit
and read (but not all at the same time).

We make it simple and your vehicle
donation helps Congregation Shaare Emeth.
W
hen you donate a car, we will take the information over the phone,
handle all of the documents and pick up
your vehicle for a charity auction sale,
and you will receive a tax deduction equivalent to
Congregation Shaare Emeth’s gross receipt from
the sale of your vehicle or the fair market
value if Congregation Shaare Emeth gives
it to a needy person. In addition, the fair
market value can be taken if the car’s value
is below $500. Contact Stacy Jespersen,
314-692-5304, for more information.
