It’s a critical time for the Israelites—after the plagues and the liberation from Egypt, after the miraculous passage through the Sea of Reeds, after the receipt of Torah and acceptance of covenant with God at Mount Sinai. During B’Midbar, the Israelites confront the challenges of a people in formation. And, frankly, they don’t always acquit themselves very well. They kvetch constantly and they challenges Moses’—and, therefore, God’s—authority. But they are also organized into tribes, chieftains are selected from among them, and a successor to Moses is chosen. Most important, the Israelites move from place to place together, following God in a pillar of cloud – from Ramses in Egypt and, finally, to the steppes of Moab by the Jordan. There they wait to cross to the land that God promised with expectation and hope about their future. As a temple, we, too, are a community in formation. Our history, Becoming American Jews: Temple Israel of Boston (2009), makes clear that this has always been true. As times change, Temple Israel, too, must change and embrace a new future. These are a few of the many efforts undertaken during the past year by clergy, staff and members to help build it: :HLQVWLWXWHGDQHZZD\RIZHOFRPLQJWKH1HZ<HDUZLWK DFRPPXQDO(UHY5RVK+DVKDQDKVHUYLFHSUHFHGHGDQG IROORZHGE\UHIUHVKPHQWVDQGVRFLDOL]LQJ :HODXQFKHGWKH,QLWLDWLYHIRUHPSW\QHVWHUVVLQJOHV DQGSDUWQHUVZLWKRXWFKLOGUHQZLWKSRWOXFNGLQQHUVDIWHU 4DEEDODW6KDEEDWVHUYLFHVDQGVDORQVIHDWXULQJGLVWLQJXLVKHG PHPEHUVDQGJXHVWV 7KH5LYHUZD\3URMHFWHOHYDWHGDQHZOHDGHUVKLSWHDP DQGFHOHEUDWHGLWVWK\HDUZLWKD%·QDL0LW]YDKVHUYLFHDQG SDUW\ )DPLOLHV:LWK<RXQJ&KLOGUHQFRQWLQXHGWRJURZZLWK QHZPRQWKO\<RXQJ)DPLO\6KDEEDWGLQQHUVDQGZHHNO\ ´%DE\DQG0HµPHHWXSVDW7,DQGLQWKHFRPPXQLW\ 6WXGHQWVLQWKH7HHQ(GSURJUDPFUHDWHG7LNNXQDQHZ VRFLDOMXVWLFHSURJUDP 2KHO7]HGHNRXU7HQWRI-XVWLFH FRQGXFWHGDVHULHVRIIRUXPVRQ $JLQJ&HOHEUDWLRQV&KDOOHQJHV RUJDQL]HGVHYHUDOHYHQWVIRURXU */%74PHPEHUVDQGIULHQGVDQGZRUNHGZLWKRWKHU FRQJUHJDWLRQVWRDGYRFDWHIRUQHZJXQVDIHW\OHJLVODWLRQ 7KH0HPEHUVKLS&RPPLWWHHRUJDQL]HG6KDEEDW :HOFRPHUVIRU4DEEDODW6KDEEDWVHUYLFHV :HLQWURGXFHGFRPPXQLW\#WLVUDHORUJ²RXURQOLQH *RRJOHJURXSDLPHGDWJHQHUDWLQJFRQYHUVDWLRQVDQG FRQQHFWLRQV<RXFDQVLJQXSDWWLVUDHORUJ :HZHOFRPHG2UQD6RQQHQVKHLQDVWKHQHZ'LUHFWRU RI(OHPHQWDU\(GXFDWLRQZKRFRQWLQXHGWRLPSURYHWKH HOHPHQWDU\HGXFDWLRQFXUULFXOXP :HKLUHG'DQ'HXWVFKDVRXUQHZ([HFXWLYH'LUHFWRU 7KH)ULHQGV$QQXDO)XQGFDPSDLJQH[FHHGHGWKHEXGJHW WKDQNVWRWKHJHQHURVLW\DQGFRPPLWPHQWRIVRPDQ\ PHPEHUVDQGFOHUJ\ The past year also saw substantial work on 7KH7HPSOH ,VUDHO3URMHFW6KDSLQJ2XU)XWXUH, which began with the congregation-wide survey last year. In addition to meeting with a number of Temple groups to discuss the survey, the TI Project team, Board of Trustees and Leadership Council focused on articulating the values shared by our congregation, began discussing the Temple Israel’s vision for the future, identified four specific areas for near-term action (Qabbalat Shabbat, Elementary Education, New Members and Lay Leadership Stewardship) and committed to fostering relationships and cultivating the sense of belonging across all aspects of temple life. I continue to be inspired by all that takes place at Temple Israel and am honored to serve as your president. I look forward to working with you in the year ahead.

We delivered honey jars during the High Holy Days to those who had a loss, college packages to TI students during Chanukah, and Purim Shaloch Manot packages. All these efforts bring as much joy and comfort to the members of the Caring Community as they do to the recipients of the calls and gifts. As we move into the summer months, the needs of our fellow congregants do not disappear. We need volunteers to call members of the community. When a loved one is sick or has died, when a new baby is born or arrives through adoption, a call by a member of the TI Community is made. Join this group: it’s easy and it brings peace to those who are reached. This makes our Temple a community that really cares. We ask is that you perform one or two acts of kindness a year. We all have time for that. Thanks to those of you who have already joined us in this effort. Your participation is much appreciated. +LJK+RO\'D\V·)RRG'ULYH 7KH&RUQHUVRI2XU)LHOGV Is this not the fast I have chosen...to share your bread with the hungry. (Isaiah 58:6-7, Read on Yom Kippur Morning) As we fast this Yom Kippur, we will again join hundreds of other Jewish congregations representing all four major movements in collecting food for the hungry in our community. On the morning of Rosh Hashanah, shopping bags will be distributed. On Yom Kippur morning we ask that you return the bags full of non-perishable foods so that they can be distributed to those in need through the Greater Boston Food Bank. Together we will continue the Torah tradition of leaving the produce of the corners of our fields for the poor. Other great ways to be involved in this project are to help collect bags during Yom Kippur morning or to join one of our teams loading the shopping bags full of food items onto the delivery trucks. Please call Priscilla Golding at 617-327-1404 to volunteer to load the Food Bank truck on Yom Kippur. Another innovative project that the Caring Community has been involved in is the launch of our Google group, FRPPXQLW\#WLVUDHORUJ. The Caring Community and the Technology team worked on this together. The mission for FRPPXQLW\#WLVUDHORUJ is to generate conversations and connections that broaden and develop the relationships of Temple Israel’s members. Click on the link on TI’s homepage for a complete explanation of how to join and participate in our new community-sharing opportunity. We wish you all a healthy, peaceful and rejuvenating summer. We hope you will join us in our outreach efforts as your time permits. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns: Christine Keegan at 617-469-1839 or [email protected].

As we move toward Rosh Hashanah, let us prepare ourselves to experience the power of these days. Each day, take a moment to reflect on the direction of your own life and take an accounting. This is called Cheshban HaNefesh. In addition, each Qabbalat Shabbat during the month of Elul will be devoted to our preparation. We will incorporate the traditional holiday melodies for the Avot, Gevurot and Hatzi Kaddish and hear Shofar blasts, awakening within us the need to make amends with others and engage in Tzedakah. Anyone who would like to join us in blowing the Shofar during the month of Elul is welcomed. When the month of Tishri does arrive, we will be ready to join together as a community, in song and in prayer. 7KH 6KDEEDWRWLQ(OXODUH$XJXVW6HSWHPEHUDQG /LWXUJLFDO3XEOLFDWLRQV,QFZLOOKDYHDVDOHVUHSUHVHQWDWLYHDYDLODEOHZLWKLQWKHQH[WIHZZHHNV IRUWKRVHLQWHUHVWHGLQSODFLQJDQHZDGLQRXUSXEOLFDWLRQ7RSODFH\RXUDGSOHDVHFRQWDFW-RH %XFKRQLVDWRUMEXFKRQLV#OSLFRP:HZRXOGOLNHWRWKDQNRXUSUHVHQWDGYHUWLVHUV IRUUHQHZLQJWKHLUDG.HHSLQPLQGRXUDGYHUWLVLQJVSRQVRUVPDNHWKLVSXEOLFDWLRQSRVVLEOH -XO\$XJXVW Temple Israel Bulletin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·VKRXVH)LQFD9LJLDPHDQLQJ ´ORRNRXWKRXVHµ 9LVLWWKH0XVHXPRIWKH5HYROXWLRQWRXQGHUVWDQG WKHKLVWRU\RI&XEDWKHFDXVHVRIWKHUHYROXWLRQDQG WKHUROHRIWKH8QLWHG6WDWHV 'D\7KXUVGD\ 9LVLWWKH0XVHXPRI)LQH$UWVDQGWKHWKULYLQJFUDIWPDUNHW (QMR\DWUDGLWLRQDO&XEDQPHDORYHUORRNLQJWKH6WUDLWVRI)ORULGD 9LVLWDUWLVW6DOYDGRU*RQ]iOH]ZKRKDVWXUQHG&DOOHMRQGH+DPHOLQWR DVKULQHWRERWK6DQWHUtDDQGWKHSRZHURIDUWLVWLFYLVLRQ 'D\)ULGD\+DYDQD 7RXU+DYDQD·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email protected] Yes, I am interested in finding out more about Temple Israel’s mission to Cuba.

Last year, a focus upon communal celebration inspired us to make changes to the Erev Rosh Hashanah, :HGQHVGD\ 6HSWHPEHU, experience for the adult community. As last year, we will combine the Purple, Yellow, Orange, and Silver Services in the Sanctuary gathering together for a single, 57-75 minute service beginning at 7:45 p.m. to welcome the New Year. All the clergy will be worshipping with you. We will use the new Machzor, as we have in past years. The beauty of our High Holy Day music will be enhanced by the accompaniment of a professional string quartet. You will have the opportunity to have hors d’oeuvres with friends and family prior to the service and you may linger afterwards for a glass of wine and a petit dessert. If you are family with young children (5 and younger), then the Rainbow Service which starts at 5:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary will be for you. If you are a family with children in the Religious School or Day School, we will join together 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. for our Family Worship Service in Levi Auditorium followed by some delicious new year treats. If you are part of the Riverway Project community, we urge you to join us for the Ticketless Service and food at 6:15 p.m. in the Social Hall which was such a success last year.

Join Wayne on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month and help him celebrate Shabbat! $JLQJ&HOHEUDWLRQVDQG&KDOOHQJHV This past spring, Rabbi Ronne Friedman led a large gathering of congregants in an intellectually stimulating and emotionally moving discussion on Jewish images of the experience of death and what may lie beyond. The decision to have a program on what Jewish tradition offers in response to this ancient human inquiry was in feedback received from attendees at the “Navigating the Challenges of Aging” programs held over the past 18 months. Time and again, TI members requested that we address how spiritual tradition and modern Reform Judaism approach death and dying. With great sensitivity, grounded in intellectual rigor, Rabbi Friedman used Jewish text, ritual and contemporary Jewish theology to explore how to live richer lives as we face our own mortality. Starting with text from some of the oldest commentaries on the Torah, Rabbi Friedman outlined the evolution of Jewish approaches to death and the after-life. He continued with fascinating insights into the importance of the appearance of the image of heaven on the worldwide influence of not just Judaism but monotheism in general. Finally, we discussed the approaches of several contemporary theologians and philosophers and the ways in which current concepts of quantum cosmology provide avenues for new ideas of death and what happens after. While we initially planned to break into small groups for the purpose of more intimate discussion, the full group proved to be so lively and eager to ask questions, that this was not necessary. The conversation was still going strong as we neared the end of the evening. On 7XHVGD\1RYHPEHU we will feature Rabbi Elaine Zecher on the topic of writing ethical wills. Based on the feedback from this recent gathering, Rabbi Friedman will follow with another program on spirituality of Death and Dying in “deep-midwinter.” We will have a third program (exact topic TBD) on April 28.

The movie to be shown is The Jewish Cardinal, which was featured at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival. This drama details the true story of Jean-Marie Lustiger, the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants, who became a leader in the Catholic Church. Amid controversy, Lustiger doesn’t waver from his Jewish identity, even as he is ordained Archbishop of Paris. Join Rabbi Morrison to study and discuss the Hebrew Bible (in its original, ancient, Near Eastern context), the development of civil and religious laws by Jewish sages during the Talmudic period, Jewish approaches to the challenges of modernity, and much more.

It seems like just last week that I was getting my bearings and finding my way around our spacious building. Now as my first year at TI comes to a close, I am able to reflect on just how much happened over the course of 12 short months. I have been in Jewish Education for close to 15 years, and I am incredibly impressed with the level of learning that takes place in the religious school classrooms here at TI. Each time I sat in on a class, I was amazed at the high level of discourse and the depth of the conversations taking place, either in chavruta (with a partner) study or classroom discussions. This past year I enjoyed listening to 5th graders debate the merits of Moses’s leadership style and compare it to that of his father-in-law, Jethro; watching 3rd graders learn about sibling rivalry in the Bible as they improvise family conversations between Adam and Eve and their children, and Jacob and Esau and their parents; and seeing 4th graders investigate the story of Exodus, questioning whether it really happened or not, and what were the implications in either case. This is just a sampling of the learning that transpired this year. The quality of education our students receive is as a result of the dedication of our talented faculty. One way in which the TI religious school stands apart from other supplementary religious schools is its commitment to professional development. Our teachers spent close to 90 hours this past year learning with and from one another. Together they studied, looked at teaching strategies and techniques, and discussed creative ways to engage their students and keep them motivated. I am very proud of the work our teachers and students have done this year. I am grateful to all the members of our school community who have contributed to making this such a successful year. Looking forward to many more to come. Happy Summer, Orna Sonnenschein 6RFLDO-XVWLFHLQ$FWLRQ7KH(QGDQJHUHG*LDQW For John Lindner’s 6th grade Social Justice in Action project, he has been raising awareness about the plight of the pandas in China. Here’s what he wants you to know: everyone loves pandas. Their adorable black and white fur and cuddly appearance are hard to resist. They appear in popular culture in the 2008 movie Kung-Fu Panda and the World Wildlife Fund and Panda Express logos. Even though pandas are bears, 99 percent of their diet is bamboo, so for the most part they are vegetarian even though all other bears mainly eat meat. They are very gentle creatures and wouldn’t hurt a fly (though if they feel cornered, trapped, or threatened, they will lower their head and stare at you — and you should get out of the way, as they have very strong teeth and claws). They are also shy and don’t go into town centers the way other wild animals do. A newborn panda is the size of a stick of butter. It will stay with its mother until it is 18 months old. The Chinese word for panda is Da-she-ong-mao, which translates to “large bear-cat.” Pandas are seen sort of like cats, as they are quiet as well as shy. For all their popularity, however, pandas are an endangered species. Their forest habitats in China are shrinking due to roads cutting through the mountains where they live. Farmers are moving farther and farther up the mountains for more agricultural land. On top of that, illegal logging and poaching has taken place, and some people even kill the pandas for traditional Chinese medicines that they believe hold curative powers. Poachers also kill them to make little trinkets. As you can see, there are a good number of factors that contribute to the endangerment. The Chinese government is cracking down on the poachers and loggers, but the killing still does happen sometimes. There are reasons we should save pandas from extinction besides the pandas themselves. They region where they live, the Yangtze Basin, has beautiful forests full of wildlife like colorful pheasants and bluish sheep. The forests also have endangered golden monkeys, takins, and crested ibis. They are important for the Yangtze ecosystem as their roaming in the bamboo forests spreads seeds and facilitates more plant growth. Plus, having forest land helps people breathe because trees emit oxygen, and we emit carbon dioxide that in turn gets turned back into oxygen by the trees. Children already know about and pay attention to one extinct animal: the dinosaur. What if the panda was next on the list? <RXFDQKHOSE\GRQDWLQJWRFKDULWLHVVXFKDVWKH :RUOG:LOGOLIH)XQGZKLFKLVZRUNLQJZLWKWKH&KLQHVH JRYHUQPHQWLQWKH4LQOLQJDQG0LQVKDQ0RXQWDLQVERWK LPSRUWDQWWRSDQGDODQGVFDSHVKWWSZZZZRUOGZLOGOLIH RUJVSHFLHVJLDQWSDQGD Projects in those areas seem to be working to protecting pandas’ lives. In fact, a 2004 survey showed that there were 1,600 pandas, 40 percent more than the number believed to exist in the 1980s. But there is still work to do. Your concern and taxdeductible contributions can help. -XO\$XJXVW Temple Israel Bulletin 9 Education Continued... 2XU*DUGHQ,V2SHQ All the produce we grow gets donated to Rosie’s Place, founded in 1974 as the first women’s shelter in the United States.

Both are passionate about swimming and swim several days a week with the Charles River Aquatics Swim Team. For their Social Justice in Action project, they wanted to make a contribution through swimming. have the pool and the teacher,” Dana Lamsol, the Aquatics Director, told them. So, Chloe and Shosh went to the Mary Eliza Mahoney House, an emergency shelter for women and children, located about one mile from the Y. They made a water safety presentation to the mothers and children, and, with Dana’s encouragement, invited the families to sign up for lessons offered through Stop and Shop’s Urban Swim Initiative. Even though the grant was intended to fund lessons for school-aged children, the Y agreed to offer lessons not only to the three school-aged children who signed up, but also to the eight mothers with babies ages six months to 2 years who had expressed interest. The girls began by learning about what injustices existed around swimming. The USA Swimming Foundation published statistics that helped the girls understand the reality. The girls learned that drowning is the second leading cause of death in children under the age of fourteen; that sixty percent of Hispanic children do not know how to swim; and that seventy percent of African American children do not know how to swim (www.usaswimming.org). The two sixth graders knew what they needed to do. For six Sundays, Chloe and Shosh, and their moms, have met the swimmers and their moms at the Mary Eliza House and walked to the Y as a group, in time for the 3:00 pm lessons. Shosh and Chloe have been able to get in the water each time and assist in the teaching. They believe that the children have made tremendous progress and if they keep it up they will one day be very capable swimmers. The first step was to find a group of children who did not know how to swim and a pool where they could learn. With the help of their mothers, Remi Dansinger and Davida Pines, Shoshanna and Chloe reached out to Boston-area schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCAs, PE teachers, swimming friends, school friends, and family. Many of the aquatics directors who called back said that 12-year-olds were too young to assist during swim lessons. One day, they had a breakthrough. They discovered that the Roxbury YMCA had received a grant from Stop and Shop intended to address the very same statistics that Chloe and Shosh had read about. “If you find the children, we 10 Temple Israel Bulletin -XO\$XJXVW One Sunday morning this spring, the girls also held a bake sale at Temple Israel. The proceeds offset the cost of the bathing suits, towels, swim caps, goggles, swim bags, and swim diapers that were purchased for the mothers, schoolage children, and babies who have taken part in the lessons. Additional fundraising will go to the Roxbury YMCA to support their swim instructors and swim team. One of the most gratifying parts of the Social Justice in Action Program for Chloe and Shosh has been seeing the excitement on the children’s faces when they are moving and kicking by themselves in the water. Each week, there has been more joy and less fear. Something that has been disappointing is that not all of the mothers who signed up on that first night have come every week, and some of the mothers have continued on next page... Education Continued... ...from previous page only come once. Maybe the most surprising thing has been the realization that this Social Justice in Action project is not only about swimming and fundraising, but also about building relationships. For Shosh and Chloe, it has been about gaining the trust of a five-year-old as they dashed down the street playing “red light green light.” And it has been about encouraging a child to hold their hands as they jumped into the pool for the first time. And, it has been experiencing the child letting go of their hand and jumping into the pool all by herself!

The weekend’s educational theme (also chosen by the teens) was “What is the Good Life?” a look at Jewish tradition’s recipe for long-term, sustainable happiness. Our four thematic programs each provided a look at one aspect of a “good life:” Hard Work, “Reform Hedonism,” Tzedekah, and Simplicity. We sought to discover the particular kind of happiness imparted by each aspect, and considered how each balanced and moderated the others en route to a happy life. We also played football and ultimate frisbee, took a ride in a pontoon boat, worked on a farm, jumped in a lake, and spent long hours in once-in-a-lifetime conversations. &RQILUPDWLRQ lugged instruments from their rehearsals, and many more had come from an afternoon of socializing. It’s not that nothing had changed, many of my peers have graduated and moved on; rather it’s that others were now taking advantage of the same opportunity and program that was available to me. On Shavuot morning, Wednesday, June 4, the 19 members of the TI Confirmation Class of 5774 led our community’s festival service. They read from our liturgy and chanted from the Torah and Haftarah portions. The Confirmands also read pieces of their own writing; statements of their personal beliefs about the central Jewish concepts of God, Torah, and Israel. These 10th grade students had composed their statements over the previous several weeks, during their preparatory work with Rabbi Zecher and Cantor Einhorn, and had studied these concepts throughout the year with Rabbi Friedman, Rabbi Morrison, Rabbi Soffer, and Teen Educator Mike Fishbein. $OXPQL3HUVSHFWLYHV7DNLQJD6WDQGIRU WKH3RZHURI2SSRUWXQLW\ %\-DFRE:ROI6RURNLQ It’s hard to believe that it has been two years since I last made the weekly pilgrimage down to the Youth Room for Monday Night School. I recently returned to Temple Israel on a Monday evening to visit. The scene’s familiar feel struck me. The same smells of scallion pancakes, stir fry, and General Gao’s Chicken greeted me as I entered the room. Some students came clad in uniforms from sports games, others 12 Temple Israel Bulletin -XO\$XJXVW All of us at Temple Israel—young and old, rich and poor, sick and healthy—are privileged to share a caring, nurturing community. We benefit from the great opportunity of engaging with one another intellectually, socially, and spiritually. Growing up, I was not always aware of how fortunate I was to have access to such great opportunities, which helped shape the person I have become. During high school—through community groups including RYFTI—I had the chance to join with peers from across the state in calling for greater access to youth opportunities for all. Without the guidance of Rabbis Pesner, Kolin, and Soffer, and the support of Mike Fishbein and other youth staff at Temple Israel, I would not have been able to take advantage of these opportunities. In college, sometimes conversations with my friends will turn to topics like life at home and our time in high school. Invariably, everyone can point to various opportunities that they had, which help shape their worldview, perspective, and ambitions. People I talk with of all ages share a sense that certain opportunities in their past have proved formative. And yet the best way to give thanks for such experiences is to help ensure the next generation has access to a similar array of opportunities. For this reason, I have been privileged to serve as the Political Director of Students for a New American Politics PAC (SNAPPAC), the nation’s largest student run political action committee, for the 2014 election cycle. At SNAP we’re committed to electing today’s progressive leaders while training those of tomorrow. We believe that the justice of a society can be judged not just by the views and biographies of its political leaders, but also by the diversity Teen Education Continued... of their staff members. Since the first entry point into politics is often an unpaid internship on a political campaign, many young people face a financial obstacle that may prevent them from getting involved in politics. We at SNAP aim to address this issue by using our funds to operate the SNAP Fellowship, a nationwide fellowship program. SNAP Fellows are young people—selected from a competitive pool of applicants—who are commonly first generation college students, children of immigrants, people of color, from a low-income community, LGBTQ, or deeply passionate about the progressive cause. SNAP does not merely provide opportunities to young people. We leverage our resources in support of current candidates for Congress. Our fellows spend their entire summer working to build grassroots support (as Field Organizers) for progressive candidates from across the nation. One of my favorite stories about SNAP comes out of California. In 2010, Elaine Cartas served as a SNAP Fellow on a campaign in Iowa. Although she had not spent much time working in electoral politics prior to that summer, Elaine decided to pursue a career in politics after that experience. Now, in 2014, she’s working as Dr. Lee Rogers’ Finance Director in his campaign for the US House seat in California’s 25 District. Rogers is a progressive candidate running in one of the few districts won by President Obama in 2012, but currently represented by a Republican. SNAP’s endorsement of Rogers carried added poignancy for me given Elaine’s position on the Rogers’ campaign. It’s not only testament to the power of the SNAP Fellowship in helping to shape the future trajectory of one’s life, but ultimately the ability of young people to seize on an opportunity and help make the world a better place. This summer, many of us and our children and grandchildren, will enjoy enriching opportunities, but not everyone in our communities will have that chance. I hope you’ll join me in working to ensure that Americans from all communities have access to such opportunities. I can imagine few better ways to do so than while also taking a stand for our country’s progressive future. 3OHDVHYLVLWZZZVQDSSDFRUJGRQDWHWR ILQGRXWPRUH Jacob Wolf-Sorokin is the Political Director of Students for a New American Politics PAC (SNAPPAC) and a rising junior at Yale University.

Originally from Los Angeles, he moved to Boston in 2005 to study Musical Theater at Emerson College. His work in the Jewish community began when he was living in New York, as a Program Director for a Jewish arts camp at the 92nd Street Y. In 2011, he moved back to Boston to work as a stage actor and fell in love with Boston’s young, vibrant Jewish scene. After finding a home for himself at Temple Israel and in Boston’s other Jewish learning communities, he is incredibly excited to be starting his position as the Coordinator of Social Justice and Young Adult Engagement at Temple Israel. Andrew is a member of Actors Equity Association and enjoys going to the Coolidge Corner movie theatre, wandering around the Museum of Fine Arts, and planning his wedding (this fall at Temple Israel!). He is eager to meet new people, learn, and contribute to the Temple Israel community. We are fortunate to have Andrew step into this role and look forward to welcoming him into our community. His enthusiasm for Jewish life, open-mindedness, and curiosity uniquely position him to serve as the Coordinator. Please join us in welcoming him to our community. You can send him an email at [email protected], swing by his office when you’re at TI, or meet him in a coffee shop in his neighborhood, Brookline!

Through relationships we find meaning and we discover the “mitzvot” (Jewish responsibilities) that focus and excite our lives with purpose and joy. Within Ohel Tzedek, our “tent of justice,” all of our social justice initiatives campaigns derive from the very real concerns that we hear among ourselves and our friends in neighboring communities. This is how we organize—because, as Buber taught, “all real living is meeting.” Temple Israel is currently in a period of self-reflection and re-engagement. As we learned from the recent PEW study, all institutions must learn to become “less institutional,” and more relational. In an effort to invigorate all aspects of our Temple Israel community with the “oxygen” of authentic relationships, we are engaging our membership in a campaign called, “Madlik.” Madlik is the Hebrew word for “kindling.” In this respect, we set out to kindle the light of our community 16 Temple Israel Bulletin -XO\$XJXVW through a broad and deep relational campaign, which will shed light on the key questions of our day: Who are we, individually and communally? What are our deepest interests and concerns, vis-à-vis our individual, communal, and civic lives? We are not alone in this campaign. More than 40 other institutions, our partners within the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO), are also reaching inward, building relationships, and discovering their interests and concerns. There are three phases to this initative: Phase One: members of TI’s Madlik Team will be reaching out to TI members with the intention of holding one-on-one conversations with at least 75 temple members. Phase Two: we will hold a series of small house meetings and group conversations through which we will expand our engagement within the Temple Israel community Phase Three: this phase depends on what we hear within phases one and two—we will share our voices, perspectives with our own community and with others in GBIO, in order to explore possibilities for powerful communal action. If you are interested in connecting to the Madlik Campaign, please contact one of our Madlik co-chairs, Sally Mecher at [email protected] or Ted Greenwood at tedgreenwood@ msn.com. Social Justice Continued... &DIp7]HGHN -XVW&RQYHUVDWLRQVIRU6RFLDO-XVWLFH On May 27, Temple Israel hosted our second Café Tzedek, an opportunity for temple members to connect, learn, and reflect on the ways that they, in their lives, pursue the Jewish values of justice and love. The topic was on child and family- centered approaches to breaking multi-generational cycles of poverty and educational underachievement. Our “conversation starters,” who shared windows into their own work, were Ann Bookman, Director of the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy at UMass Boston; Andrea Lesser-Gonzalez, an activist in the early education movement, family childcare owner, and educator; and Laurie Sherman, co-founder of Thrive in 5 and longtime advisor to Mayor Menino on Child and Family Policy. At this Café, we shared ideas and inspiration over pizza and wine. Most importantly, we sparked a conversation in the synagogue space, which hadn’t yet taken place -- specifically, how we extend our commitment to justice and equity to those who are youngest and most vulnerable among us. We look forward to continuing our Café Tzedek forum this autumn.

Thank you to all who supported the event by attending, donating, and bidding on our first-ever online auction. At the event, attendees heard Temple Israel member, Marli Porth, share the impact that Temple Israel has on her life: As a single young adult seeking a Jewish community, Marli found the Riverway Project, where she discovered a love of studying Torah and a spiritual home away from her native Florida. When she was just dating her now husband, John, Temple Israel offered them a safe and welcoming space to learn about Judaism together through a class for interfaith couples. Now with their toddler, Amelie, Marli and John take part in holiday and Shabbat programs where Amelie learns prayers and stories, and they form lasting bonds with other parents. <RXUJLIWWRWKH)ULHQGV$QQXDO)XQGKHOSVWRVWUHQJWKHQ WKHODUJHU-HZLVKFRPPXQLW\ Your generosity makes it possible for the Temple Israel to continue welcome, engage, and meet the needs of young adults and families with young children in Boston, ensuring that these two vulnerable groups will continue to stay connected, and possibly further deepen their connection to synagogue life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emple Israel Bulletin 17 Development Continued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his event would not have been possible without the efforts our incredible event chairs, 0DULQD.DOEDQG'DYLG)HLQEHUJ, for their leadership and hard work.
