Choose Your Own Adventure
By Dr. Gady Levy, Executive Director,
The Temple Emanu-El Skirball Center
AS A TEENAGER, I paid little attention to the
Jewish world around me. Growing up in Israel,
where every aspect of life had been both
intrinsically and effortlessly Jewish, I took
my Judaism for granted.
The summer of 1986 proved to be life changing
as my family had immigrated to San Diego, and
my parents suggested I enroll in a Jewish summer
camp in an effort to better connect with my
heritage. Like most teens, I was not particularly
interested in doing what my parents wanted me to do. After throwing an ageappropriate tantrum, my mother reverted to classic parental warfare: blackmail.
Long before iPhones, iPads and iPods, Mom took my stereo hostage. I quickly
changed my tune and packed my bags, boom box in tow.
Eight weeks later, I emerged with a newfound passion for Jewish life and a fresh
recognition of its many distinctive layers. I realized that Judaism runs deeper than
religious ceremonies and affiliations; it had become a cultural identity and a reference
point that shaped my worldview and career path.
That summer, Jewish music, art, literature and study offered modern and unique
interpretations of the classic rules and liturgy. Relationships forged through Sabbath
and holiday celebrations, animated debates, movie nights and sing-a-longs made
this version of Judaism accessible, meaningful and fun. Most of all, I witnessed the
evolution of a new community through shared experiences. I developed a passion to
remain connected—a desire fueled by camp and supported over the years by a circle
of incredible friends, many of whom remain in my life to this day.

SUKKOT IS A FESTIVAL of thanks for a bountiful fall harvest. It also has become a
celebration to commemorate the protection given to the Israelites throughout their
wanderings in the wilderness. Temple Emanu-El brings the spirit of the Sukkot indoors
to our Fifth Avenue Sanctuary with the creation of our beautiful sukkah.
SIMCHAT TORAH is a joyful celebration, often symbolized by dancing.
Hebrew for “Rejoicing in the Law,” Simchat Torah also celebrates completion of
reading the Book of Deuteronomy (the fifth book of the Torah) and starting from the
beginning with the Book of Genesis.
SH’MINI ATZERET IS A solemn time for reflecting on the seven previous days of Sukkot.
It also is one of the four times during the year when we mourn together at Yizkor
(the memorial service), in remembrance of those whom we have lost.
All are welcome to attend these services; no tickets are required.
Many thanks to the Women’s Auxiliary for the gift of our beautiful sukkah.
LOOKING TO
UNLOAD YOUR SINS?
In Bible times, Israelites atoned
with sacrifices. Once a year, on
what we now call Yom Kippur, the
High Priest placed all the Israelites’
sins on a goat and set it loose in
the wilderness. Clean your slate
on our “virtual goat” at www.
emanuelnyc.org/eScapegoat.
SUKKOT HARVEST FRUIT
AND VEGETABLE DRIVE

In celebration of the harvest festival

as well as dried fruits and nuts.
Collected items will be donated

Torah for the Troops
THIS SUMMER, in keeping with Temple Emanu-El’s
long-standing tradition of supporting members of
the military, the Philanthropic Committee
made a significant donation to the Jewish
Chaplain’s Council in order to assure the
completion of a sefer Torah (Torah scroll) in time
for the High Holy Days for Jewish troops on active
duty. According to Rabbi Harold Robinson,
director of the JWB Jewish Chaplains Council,
and director of Armed Forces and Veterans
Services, the Torah was sent to Okinawa to serve
the U.S. Marine Corps community and Joint
U.S. Forces there and to travel with deployed
units of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit.
Rabbi Robinson will be our guest on the bimah on November 14 for a special
Shabbat service at which we will honor our veterans. Members of our congregation
who have served in the military are invited to be part of our blessing. If you are a
veteran and would like to attend, then please contact Indira Tiwari:

Meal inspirations for Sukkot come from the harvest origins of the holiday.
Your Emanu-El Eats Committee has the perfect recipe for you to try: a very special

recipe but also consider volunteering to test a
recipe or two for our forthcoming congregational
cookbook. A few more testers are needed. There is
no particular skill level required; just an interest
in cooking. Please contact us at emanueleats@

recipe you would enjoy testing, and we will help
you select something you will enjoy trying while
helping to ensure that we have a real go-to

Q&A:
Do you see a cure for the corrosive
partisanship that dominates
Washington political life today?
JC: There is no quick fix for partisanship.
As bad as it is right now, I remind folks of
former Representative and later Senator
Justin Smith Morrill from Vermont. In
1862, arguably the worst year in
American history while literally at war with
each other, we were able to establish the
Morrill Land-Grant Acts, which allowed
for land grant colleges like my alma
Israel. Given the situation in Israel, do
you feel peace is still possible? How
would you advise the current Israeli
administration?
JC: Peace is always possible. I know that
Prime Minister Barak tried very hard and
thought it was very important to secure
peace. It would have been a dream to
acquire that. But that is in the past. On the
current situation, it is very depressing. I
come back to the same place that peace
is always possible.
“Peace is always possible.”
mater, LSU. This landmark achievement
happened in the midst of the Civil War.
Maybe I am an optimist, but if we can do
something that consequential in 1862 I
feel better about the future.
MM: Yes. A clear partisan victory, that is
philosophical electoral mandate on the
role and scope of federal government.
Whatever President Obama’s personal
likability, there is little support for his
policies and philosophy of governance.
The GOP is similarly disfavored, I believe,
because they have been reticent
representatives for a conservative way
forward.
Mr. Carville, in 1999 you were part of
the campaign leading to Ehud Barak’s
victory to become Prime Minister of
In January 2014, your second joint
memoir, Love & War: Twenty Years,
Three Presidents, Two Daughters and
One Louisiana Home, was published.
Do your daughters have an interest in
politics? How do you recommend
getting younger people engaged in
what is happening in the world today?
JC: Both of our daughters have an interest
in politics, but they also have an interest in
many other things. I am more focused on
convincing them to do the dishes than
whom to vote for. For anyone who has
ever been a parent, if I really thought I
could convince my girls about anything, it
wouldn’t be about politics. As for getting
people engaged, one of the things people
don’t realize is how much of an individual
stake they have in what’s going on in the
world at large. Look back 100 years ago,
how can you not feel a sense of historical
importance even today. I teach a class at
Tulane [University] and what I try to do is
talk about how today’s news fascinates.
MM: If you don’t get involved, you can’t
complain and you will get the government
you deserve. Self-governance in a republic
obliges citizens to participate; federalism
affords them the opportunity to have an
impact at the state and local levels when
the federal level is gridlocked, as is
currently the case. The girls are very
politically savvy, knowledgeable and
versed, but not interested so much in
our politics and very active in their own
endeavors.
How would your lives be different
if George H.W. Bush had defeated
Bill Clinton in 1992?
JC: Phew, first off I would have hoped
we still married and stayed married.
Professionally, I probably would have
stayed working on domestic campaigns
and maybe Mary would have been a sort
of cabinet secretary. Obviously for a lot of
reasons I am happy with the way things
have worked out.
MM: We likely would have moved to
New Orleans earlier. I would not have
gone into the White House. James would
have just won the next presidential race.
He is a genius.

Youth Programs
My Summer at 6 Points
By Brentt Goldstein, Eighth Grade
THIS SUMMER, I WENT TO CAMP for 12 days at the Union for
Reform Judaism’s 6 Points Sports Academy. I found out about
6 Points Sports Academy because Temple Emanu-El recommended
it, and when I went online, read more about the camp and watched
the video, I was really excited. The campers looked like they were
having a great time. I wanted to try a sleep-away camp but not for the entire summer.
I thought it would be good to be part of a Jewish community that shares the same values
and traditions. I knew 6 Points would be welcoming because of these common values.
Our daily routine was to wake up at 7:30 AM, get dressed and have morning stretch,
lead by either a coach or rabbi. We then were off to breakfast and back to our dorms for
nikayon (clean up). There was a contest among the dorms to be the neatest. The dorm
that won was able to sleep in 30 minutes longer on Saturday and would get bagels in bed.
We then would head to our sports major. I chose soccer from options including basketball,
tennis, lacrosse, baseball, softball, swimming, cheer and dance. After sports major we
would head to lunch, followed by an hour of rest. In the afternoon, we had sports electives.
My electives were flag football, kayaking and Gaga (an Israeli dodgeball-style game).
Other electives were rock climbing, swimming and volleyball. After dinner, we had more
of our sports major, then dorm, snack (milk and cookies), shower up and lights out!
I loved being at a Jewish camp. Before each meal everyone would recite HaMotzi, and
after each meal we would sing Birkat HaMazon. At dinner we would have a song session
including Hebrew songs. On Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings, we would have
a Shabbat service. Every day we were taught a different value (for example, courage,
teamwork, compassion, humility), and the counselors would put on a skit from the
Torah showing us the value. If a coach, counselor or member of the staff saw you using
this value, then you were rewarded with a bracelet.
My favorite things about camp were the kindness of everyone and the Maccabiah Games
(Color War). I definitely am going back next summer to see my friends; it was my home
away from home. I liked being part of a Jewish community and playing my favorite sports.
I would recommend and encourage others to go to 6 Points. You will make a lot of friends
in a welcoming community, play sports and have the time of your life. ❏
URJ CAMP FAMILY LUNCH
To learn more about 6 Points and other URJ camps, come to the Department of Lifelong
Learning’s Camp Family Lunch on Sunday, October 26 from 12 PM to 1 PM; enter

Meet Our Teen Leaders...
THIS YEAR’S LEADERS of the Emanu-El teen community—Senior Youth Group
Co-Presidents Sydney Caputo and Olivia Klein and Teen Benefit Committee
Co-Chairs Andrew Fischer and Greer Manning—discuss what inspires them and
why they think you should get involved! (Read a full version of this interview
on www.emanuelnyc.org: Community ➙ Tweens and Teens.)
How did you get involved in teen programming at Emanu-El?
OK: I started going to Hebrew School in Third Grade, and then in Seventh Grade
I joined Mitzvah Corps. I had a really good time during Mitzvah Corps and wanted
to continue doing similar activities.
AF: After finishing my time in Religious School, I wanted a way to stay connected
to the Temple. Working with other teens in the youth group and Teen Benefit board
sounded like a fun and engaging way to do so.
What made you want to be a leader of the Senior Youth Group/Teen Benefit?
SC: I really love the community that is Emanu- El and wanted to become a part of
it even more. I also have been involved with the Temple for so long that I wanted a
position that would be more challenging than what I have done previously.
GM: I wanted to be a leader of the Teen Benefit Committee because I had a vision of
teens getting together for a meaningful cause in a fun environment where they could
meet other teens and help raise money for an amazing organization.
Sydney Caputo, 12th Grade,
Stuyvesant High School
Andrew Fischer, 12th Grade,
Stuyvesant High School
What is your favorite thing about Emanu-El’s teen community?
AF: We’re like a family! We have our own inside jokes and food preferences, and we
really love each other. It's fantastic to be in a group that works so well together and fits
right into the larger Emanu-El community.
GM: I’ve loved growing up with the other teens, from preschool to our awkward stage
around bat mitzvah season to being able to be members of the youth group. I’ve learned
I can really trust and depend on the lifelong friends I’ve made here.
What is a goal that you have for this year?
SC: I want to get new people involved and have more people come to the events!
GM: My goal for this year is to get more teens involved in all of our programs. Not only
are they fun (and look great on a college resume), but they also do a lot of good for the
community in New York City and around the world. If it hadn’t been for Emanu-El’s
great teen programs, I never would have been able to travel to Alabama to build houses
for the homeless or to London to explore the culture and meet new people at an elderly
home where we volunteered.
Olivia Klein, 12th Grade,
The Dwight School
What are you most looking forward to this year?
SC: Organizing community service events—one of my favorites is Midnight Run.
AF: The Teen Benefit, of course!

Why should other teens get involved at Emanu-El?

We go on trips and throw our own parties, and, let’s be real, we are the best Temple!
GM: Emanu-El is a very safe and respecting community. I’ve never felt pressured to act
or think a certain way. Instead, I’ve been encouraged in my differences and have learned
to be comfortable with being myself! ❏

ADVENTURE (continued from page 1)
Recognizing that one experience can have a tremendous effect on a person’s identity
and outlook, it is my great honor to help develop new Jewish experiences at the
Temple Emanu-El Skirball Center. In close partnership with Rabbi Davidson,
Chairperson Dr. Claudia Plottel and the program committee, we are creating
memorable, compelling events for all Temple members—and for the community at large.
We are devoted to developing programs on a variety of topics and disciplines to meet
individual needs—wherever you are in your personal journey. Our rich curriculum
includes classes, concerts, lectures, performances, debates and special events to provide
diverse learning experiences.
This fall, I invite you to debate American politics with Washington insiders, to sing with
Israel’s #1 star, to cook with master chefs as you hear their culinary tales, to deliver the
verdict in the trial of the millennium, and to engage in conversation on Israel and the
media. I encourage you to enroll in any number of our ongoing classes, taught by our
noted faculty, through which you can examine biblical and Talmudic texts, Shakespeare,
history, psychology, literature and even Jewish humor.
For 170 years, Temple Emanu-El has supported and exemplified the voices of its
ever-evolving community. I look forward to the Skirball Center advancing that legacy
by providing a meaningful platform for continuing learning and growth, much as my
summer camp experience did for me. ❏

blessing of their companionship and affection.They are near us, even now.
