Crisis or
Opportunity?
The good news is that the majority
of American Jews are proud to
be Jewish and have a strong
sense of belonging to the Jewish
people. The bad news is that there
seems to be a significant decline in
religious identity and participation,
particularly among younger nonOrthodox Jews.
Rabbi Laura Geller
This finding comes from the
just-released study of Jewish Americans conducted by the
Pew Research Center’s Religion and Public Life Project. The
survey divides "Jewish" into two categories: Jews by religion
(people who say that their religion is Jewish and who do not
profess any other religion), and Jews of no religion (people
who describe themselves as atheist, agnostic, or nothing
in particular, but who have a Jewish parent or were raised
Jewish and identify as Jewish on the basis of ancestry,
ethnicity, or culture). The survey estimated that Jews make
up 2.2% of the American population, with 5.3 million Jewish
adults, as well as 1.3 million children being raised at least
partly Jewish.
Of American Jews born between 1914-1927, 93% identify
their religion as Jewish, while for the Millennial generation
(Jews born after 1980), 32% say they have no religion. This
trend is particularly worrisome because Jews without religion
tend not to raise their children Jewish. Of the “Jews of no
religion” who have children at home, two-thirds are not raising
their children Jewish in any way. This is in contrast to the
“Jews with religion,” of whom 93% said they are raising their
children to have a Jewish identity.
The study reports that intermarriage rates are rising among
non-Orthodox Jews. The New York Times reported the
percentage as 71%, with the children of intermarriage more
likely to intermarry themselves and less likely to raise their
children as Jews. Other demographers, including our own
congregant, sociologist Dr. Bruce Phillips from the Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, cautions that the
intermarriage rate varies depending on how it is calculated.
But however you count, this snapshot of Jewish life in America
deserves our serious attention. It describes synagogue
membership as declining overall. Only 39% of American Jews
say they live in a household in which at least one person is a
member of a synagogue. Yet 58% of all Jews say they attend
Jewish religious services at least a few times a year. That
suggests to me that we have the opportunity to discover ways
to welcome these few-time-a-year Jews into a Judaism that
might engage them in more significant ways.
Of the 70% of Jews who identify with a denomination, 40%
identify as Reform, and the Reform Movement has the highest

retention rate. Fifty-five percent of those raised Reform stay
Reform. That looks like an opportunity. But it is not exactly
clear what being a Reform Jew means to them. Reform Jews
are generally less involved in Jewish life than Conservative or
Orthodox Jews. That looks like a challenge.
Clearly the positions and agenda of the Reform Movement
resonate with the concerns of the majority of American
Jews. That is an opportunity. The most common answers to
what beliefs or activities are "essential" to their Judaism were
"remembering the Holocaust" (73%), "leading a moral and
ethical life" (69%), and "working for justice and equality" (56%).
All of these are high on the agenda of our Reform Movement.
The fourth most popular response (43%) was "Caring about
Israel.” Thirty percent said they were "very attached” and 39%
reported being "somewhat attached.” Eighty-nine percent
of Jews, however, say that being strongly critical of certain
policies of the government of Israel is compatible with being
Jewish. Just 17% of American Jews (13% of Reform Jews)
think that the continued building of settlements in the West
Bank is helpful to Israel's security, while 44% (50% of Reform
Jews) say that settlement construction hurts Israel's own
security interests. This looks like an opportunity because these
positions are in direct alignment with the positions that have
been formally adopted by the Reform Movement.
So, crisis or opportunity? Maybe a little of both. Or better,
maybe just a challenge… to work even harder as a synagogue
and as a movement to remind people that there is more than
one way to be a Jew and that Judaism can help us all enrich
our lives and the lives of our families.
One other important finding: 42% of Jews believe that having
a good sense of humor is essential to being Jewish. That is
considerably more than the 14% of Jews who said that eating
Jewish food was an essential part of Jewish identity!

Herzl Way Happenings
What do you think?
By Stacy Kesner, M.A., Early Childhood Center Director
By Sara-Jean Lipmen, Religions School Director
November is an exciting month for the ECC. The children
are learning about autumn, the harvest season, leaves, and
Thanksgiving. The Thanksgiving holiday will come to life as we
sing Thanksgiving songs, create Thanksgiving art projects, and
play in our very own classroom tepee! This year's rare merging
of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah has created a fun food mash-up
for our ECC students. To celebrate the holidays, the Pilgrims
and the fighting ability of the Maccabees and the miracle of
Hanukkah, we will be making pumpkin latkes, sweet potato
latkes, apple-cranberry sauce and challah stuffing. What a
delicious way to introduce these two holidays!
A number of friends and colleagues have recently emailed me or
posted to Facebook A Portrait of Jewish Americans by the Pew
Research Center. Most people cite statistics from the survey;
others simply forward me the article with a comment stating,
“Interesting.” My question to them is, “So, what? What do you
think of the findings?”
We plan on being very busy during Hanukkah spinning dreidels,
creating menorahs, and cooking delightful treats. We will be
learning about the holiday of Hanukkah through art projects,
songs and stories. An exciting part of our Hanukkah celebration
will be when the parents join us for the all school ECC Hanukkah
sing-a-long. We culminate this festive event by feasting on
yummy sufganiyot!
To get to this point, we need to start asking them elaborative
questions now.
Our Early Childhood Center offers an innovative, developmentally
sensitive curriculum. Judaic activities foster basic knowledge
of our Jewish heritage. Our integrated curriculum includes
science, art, dance, language arts, music, stories, and water
play. Purposeful learning comes about as a result of activities
organized around child-directed play. Our goal is to provide each
child with an environment that is set up to stimulate curiosity,
which will in turn stimulate learning and imagination. Our
Early Childhood Center program is accredited by the NAEYC
(National Association for the Education of Young Children). Only
8% of early childhood center programs nationally are NAEYC
accredited.
Our registration for the 2014-2015 school year has just begun.
We are currently making appointments for families to tour our
ECC in November and December. If you have a child or know
of an interested family who will be ready to enter our Early
Childhood Center (two years and two months by September
2014), please contact Stacy at 310.276.9776 for a tour of our
facilities and registration information.
Israel Trip
June 16-26, 2014
I am reminded of one of the many goals of religious school: to
give students the tools to develop their language and opinions,
and teach them to seek out information. In other words, what
do these findings mean for me and our community?
When you pick up your child from religious school and ask them
what they did that day, the answer will most likely be a simple
one; something like, “I learned about Moses.” Coax your child
to elaborate: “Was Moses a good leader? Why?” Or, “What
makes Moses important (or not)? How was he like you?”
After going to Seder, ask your child what s/he did or did not
like, and then ask her/him to explain why. Teaching children to
give clear, thoughtful answers to questions will help them learn
the language that connects them to their Jewish identity and
community. But they must practice answering the question,
“So, what?”
As for my “So, what?” about the Pew Research Center Report,
please do not hesitate to call, email, or simply stop by to
discuss. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and what you
believe the implications are for the generation that’s too young
to poll - the children in our religious school!
If we hope for our children to ask the big questions, we must
lead by example and ask the big questions as well.
Jewish Education for All Ages

The Best Kept Secret
TEADS Open House Tours
By Lori Schulman, Assistant Head of School:
Administration, Admissions & Student Life
Did you know the best little private day school is right here at
Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills?
Visiting our school is one of the best ways to learn about
Temple Emanuel Academy Day School. A tour is the perfect
opportunity for you to find out more about our curriculum,
teachers, administration, community and more.
Housed in the Steinbaum Building, Temple Emanuel Academy
Day School (TEADS) attracts students from Beverly Hills and the
Greater Los Angeles area. Some parents make the daily commute
from as far as Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey.
Open House Dates:
November 7, November 21, December 5.
Tours are at 9:30–11:00 am, or by appointment.
To RSVP visit the admissions tab at www.teads.org.
So what’s the draw? Considering TEADS families are as diverse in
nationality as they are in family make-up, the question lends itself
to a variety of answers. It could be the small class sizes, the artsinfused curriculum, or the emphasis on character building through
challenging goals.
The Schools Giving Tree is back!
Part of the attraction is the TEADS philosophy - steeped in
progressive education with a blending of fundamentals, critical
thinking, and creativity. Our teachers are experienced and
passionate, and rely on experiential learning and differentiated
instruction to provide an academic experience like no other. Multiage classrooms offer opportunities for leadership, collaboration,
confidence, and intellectual growth.
TEADS students are the scientists, lawyers, educators, actors,
musicians, designers, executives, photographers, accountants,
and even rabbis of the future. Our school believes that the earlier
a person identifies the gifts s/he possesses, the more opportunity
there will be to cultivate those talents. For example, a recent TEADS
graduate (currently an 8th grader at Milken Community High School)
had her first iPhone app accepted to the Apple app store. Abigail
took her vision of the Simple Binary Calculator from conception
to programming and wrote the business plan all on her own.
Just in time for Hanukkah! The
Giving Tree leaves are filled
with wishes from our schools
teachers for classroom items.
Giving Trees will be on display in
the Steinbaum lobby and outside
of the ECC gate throughout the
month of November.
Please
consider how you can support
Jewish education at Temple
Emanuel.
Some families appreciate TEADS for its focus on religious identity.
Jewish customs, rituals, values, and teachings play a significant role
in positioning our students to succeed in the future. Understanding
who you are, where you came from, and what those who came
before believed, are all important in the development of the mind
and the soul.
Interpreting our ancient literature fosters creativity, stimulates
intellectual potential, and bonds our students to their roots. Our
value-based Judaic curriculum cultivates positive behavior and a
caring attitude towards others.
TEADS students move on to Milken Community High School,
Archer School for Girls, Oakwood School, Brentwood School,
Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences, Harvard-Westlake School
and many others. From there, our alumni continue their educational
journey at colleges and universities such as Columbia University,
Harvard University, Sarah Lawrence College, Georgetown,
Brandeis University, California State University, and the list goes on.
So, as you can see, there are a myriad of attributes that set TEADS
apart from other private day schools. However, what distinguishes
us most of all is the overwhelming support of our parent body. Our
enrolled parents have recently raised over $45,000 towards our
“I Give Because…” campaign. Their reasons for giving may vary,
but there is one thing everyone can agree upon: the best secrets
are meant to be cherished.

Pillar Profile
Jackie Kassorla
"Temple Emanuel feels like home. It is part of my community.
It is where my mother, who was in the temple's second
confirmation class, started her Jewish education, and it is
where my son will become Bar Mitzvah. My father's yahrzeit
light is in the Corwin Family Sanctuary, and throughout my
life, significant religious experiences have been with Temple
Emanuel clergy. I love giving back, through creating the edible
garden program for the Temple schools and donating my
services to landscape the front of the Steinbaum building. It
is my pleasure to support Temple Emanuel as a Pillar member."

B'nai & B'not Mitzvah
Brandon Wolfe
November 23, 2013
I am currently in 8th grade at Beverly Vista School. I enjoy playing
basketball, running, spending time with my friends and going
to Dodger Games. My caring and lovely parents, Dr. Michele
Kalt and Freddy Wolfe, and my two younger siblings, Justin
and Sienna, can’t wait to see me on the Bimah! For my Bar
Mitzvah project, I am creating packages for Jewish kids who
have cancer and are stuck in the hospital for days enduring
pretty rough treatments. The wonderful organization that is
making this possible is Chai Lifeline. They even organized a
Dodger Game for all the kids with cancer and their families,
and I was able to help by being a Dodger peanut and candy
vendor to bring joy to all the kids and their families. Chai Lifeline
really helped me during my sister’s battle with cancer, and
I am so happy to be able to help others! I am excited about
my Bar Mitzvah and I want to thank my family, Rabbi Geller,
Rabbi Aaron, Jeff Magder, Cantor Kliger, and Lynn Franklin in
the Clergy office for all their support in helping me prepare for
this day.

Lara Pastor
November 30, 2013
I am currently in 7th grade at Emerson Middle School. I enjoy
acting, dancing, music, and hanging out with my friends. My
parents, Silvina Grichener and Marcelo Pastor, and the rest of
my family, are very excited for my Bat Mitzvah. For my mitzvah
project I am going to perform at the Jewish Home with two of
my friends. We will mostly dance. I chose this for my project
because I love performing and making people smile. I am very
excited about my Bat Mitzvah and I want to thank my family,
Rabbi Geller, Rabbi Aaron, Cantor Kliger, Jeff Madger, and
Laurie Goodman for all their support in helping me prepare for
this day.
Making Connections
Are you a single parent? Are you newly married? Would
you like to meet other families with school-age children?
Chavurah (friendship) groups are forming now for all ages
and interests. A chavurah meets regularly and people often
form life-long friendships. Being in a chavurah is often the
best way to get to know other people and form meaningful
relationships. For more information, please email Shelley
Blumenfeld at [email protected] or 310.288.3742.
