T
ekiah is the sound of the Shofar that helps our soul to awaken to its fullest
potential. Once again Rabbi Aaron Bergman, Rabbi Rachel Shere and Hazzan
Daniel Gross invite you to participate in a “Tekiah” series during the Hebrew
month of Elul.
RABBI AARON BERGMAN and RABBI RACHEL SHERE will begin the program at
7:30 p.m. on Monday, August 27. They will discuss CLEARING AWAY THE BARRIERS
TO FORGIVENESS. The rabbis will explore strategies that will make forgiving others
and ourselves possible, or at least more likely.
YAMIM NORAIM – What’s so AWE-some about ‘em? On Monday, September 10,
HAZZAN DANIEL GROSS will discuss why the period from Rosh Hashanah through
Yom Kippur is regarded as “The Days of Awe." He will examine some of the texts
and themes of the liturgy and also talk about the overall nature of the High
Holidays.
Both programs will begin at 7:30 p.m. The community is welcome. There is
no charge. Please call the Synagogue office, 248-851-5100 if you plan to attend.

FROM THE PRESIDENT
FROM RABBI BERGMAN
“WHY ADAT SHALOM...?”
ON FRIDAY
EVENING,
H
JUNE 1, DAVID
WAS INSTALLED AS OUR NEW PRESI DENT.
BELOW
ARE HIS WORDS FROM
THAT SPECIAL EVENING :
G Shabbos. It’s a true privi-
ood evening and good
lege and a wonderful opportunity to be the incoming
President of Adat Shalom.
DAVID
I want to thank the
SHERBIN
Board and the congregation
for selecting me, as well as Lori Issner and
Norma Dorman for planning this installation
program. I also want to express my deep
appreciation to my good friend Julie Teicher,
who has been a great role model and will be a
tough act to follow. I would be remiss if I didn’t thank David Schostak, who asked me to
join the executive committee six years ago.
As I look around this room, I am so happy
that my parents, Libby and Jerry, and my
brother and sister-in-law, Josh and Lisa are
here to share this evening with me along with
my father-in-law, Harry and his wife Helen.
I also want to say a heartfelt thank you to
my friends who have honored me by being here
tonight; I am really so very flattered and
touched that you are here.
Unlike most, if not all, of my predecessors, I did not grow up in a Conservative
Synagogue. My family left Temple Israel when
I was 11, and we joined The Birmingham
Temple, just a few miles down the road from
Adat Shalom, but a light year away spiritually.
My family’s Jewish orientation was more cultural than religious. Yiddish, which was my
parents’ first language, was frequently spoken
in my home and remained the preferred language of my grandparents long after they came

TO
EVERY DAY
ave you ever had this happen to you? You are finally in
bed after a really long day. You are exhausted. Sleep is
but seconds away. Then suddenly, you are wide awake, your
heart beating faster than it did all day. It is not quite an anxiety attack, but it is not far off. What triggered it? It was probRABBI
ably the first time you had all day to think about how aggraBERGMAN
vated you were by something, or how frustrated you were that
you did not finish what you wanted to. Maybe you were thinking about that person who cut you off in traffic, or only drove 25 mph on the freeway.
You feel as if you have two choices: either toss and turn for a couple of
hours, or get up and watch TV. Either way, you are not going to get the rest you
need that night, which means tomorrow is not looking good. You are already
thinking of the excuses you are going to make for being in such a lousy mood.
This happens to a lot of people in our very hectic and tense society.
I would like to share a teaching with you that will help you sleep better and
have a more optimistic approach to life. (I imagine some of you are thinking that
it is kind of funny for a rabbi to give suggestions about sleeping. I really do not
mind if people sleep during my sermons. I am just happy they are there.)
What helps me settle down at the end of the day, and lets me sleep is a prayer
called the bedtime Shema. It consists of the the first six words and then the first
paragraph of the Shema. I want to focus, however, on the first part of the prayer,
which goes as follows:
Master of the universe, I hereby forgive anyone who angered or antagonized
me, whether they did so accidentally, willfully, carelessly, or purposely; whether
through speech, deed, thought, or notion.I forgive every one. May no one be punished because of me. May it be Your will, O God, my God and the God of my forefathers, that I strive to do the right things with my day. May the expressions of
my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before You.
You would then say the following blessing, and the Shema.
Blessed are You, our God, who brings slumber and drowsiness to my eyes.
May it be Your will, my God and the God of my ancestors, that You lay me down
to sleep in peace and let me wake in peace. May my ideas, bad dreams, and bad
notions not confound me. Blessed are You, Who illuminates the entire world..
Different prayer books have various versions of this, but they all have the
same idea. When we lie down, we should concentrate on thoughts of forgiveness,
both of others and ourselves. This does not mean that we have to like everything
that happened to us, but we should realize that the day is already in the past,
and that there is nothing we can do. Instead, we should focus on what we can
do to have a better day tomorrow. You do not have to use the words of the prayer
book, though it is worth at least taking a look. You

H IGHLIGHTS FROM G ERMANY
I
write these words as I sit on my Air Berlin
flight from Germany back to the U.S., having just experienced one of the most cultural,
historical and spiritual adventures of my life. I
shared this experience with five congregants
and I’d like to now share some of the highHAZZAN

Germany with you.
Right off the bat was the opening night program in Berlin
at the Rykestrasse Synagogue, Germany’s most beautiful and
largest functioning synagogue. Featured were two of my compositions from I Believe – A Shoah Requiem; in one of these I had
the honor of performing as soloist. The next evening we welcomed Shabbat in a concert service in the striking Konzerthaus

WHY SISTERHOOD?
n MEn’s club happEnings
BY
CINDY BABCOCK
IN SEPTEMBER OF 1976, Howard and I
were married at Adat Shalom. One year
later we became members and as a
birthday present, my mother bought me
a lifetime membership to Sisterhood.
For almost 30 years I did not attend one
Sisterhood
Sisterhood meeting or event.
As members of the synagogue, we attended holiday services, the occasional Shabbat morning service and religious
school activities involving our two sons. The only synagogue
event that we did attend yearly was the Purim Party, and if
the one couple we knew at Adat Shalom did not attend,
Howard and I sat and talked to each other all evening.
Then in 2004, Howard went alone on an Israel Mission
with Adat Shalom, while I remained home to be with my
severely ill father. Howard made some very good friends on
that trip, and when he returned introduced me to them. The
women encouraged me to become involved with Sisterhood.
I jumped in with both feet! The more I got involved with
Sisterhood the more we became involved with the synagogue. We started attending Shabbat services more regularly, as well as enjoying synagogue social events with our new
friends. Our circle of synagogue friends continued to grow,
and now when we are at Adat Shalom we feel we are truly
part of the Adat Shalom family, and we have one of the
largest tables at Purim Party Plus!
I am proud of what the Sisterhood of Adat Shalom does
for the synagogue, for their involvement in the Conservative
Movement, and for the community as a whole. We have the
best Kiddish around, we raise money for and support JTS,
we work with the homeless, provide scholarships for congregational youth to visit Israel, and support Adat Shalom
Synagogue in numerous ways. Sisterhood is in a year of
restructuring and rebuilding. Please join us in this process.
We welcome everyone’s ideas and suggestions to make the
Sisterhood of Adat Shalom the best it can be!
ON MY BEHALF, as well as the Board of Trustees and all of the
members of the Men’s Club, I want to extend heartfelt thanks
and Yasher Koach to Bobby Blum for all of the time and effort
that made his a hugely successful tenure as our Men’s Club
president.
In this, my first column for the VOICE, I want to let you know
what we have been doing over the summer and what we are
planning for the coming year. My goals as incoming president are
not limited to growing our membership and promoting our programs, but also to enhancing the Adat Shalom experience for all
members of its community.
- housing the homeless The Men’s Club of Adat Shalom has a long-standing tradition of
volunteerism both within and outside of the shul. On July 17th,
as we have done in each year, we participated in the Social
Action Committee’s annual Housing the Homeless project by
hosting an evening with all of the food provided, cooked and
served by our members (wives and kids, too!). It is always a very
rewarding evening for all involved and you get to meet some very
interesting people.
- adat shalom all-stars Meanwhile, our softball team captains are reporting
a fun-filled and winning schedule. Now that we field
two squads, they even had to play one-another! (Is
that what they call that a ‘subway series’?) In any
event, whether they’re playing for the red team or the blue team,
our guys are having a great time and getting in some exercise to
boot. Wives and kids are welcome to come and cheer’ em on (and
fetch the fouls…!). Thanks as always to Larry Kaplan, George
Dickstein and Michael Betman for organizing, coordinating and
leading us to victory.
OF COURSE, YOUR MEN’S CLUB is already gearing up for a program-filled year with many of our popular annual events, along
with some exciting new programs and the return of a few oldiesbut-goodies. This year, we will be inviting participation in our
programs among our co-affiliates, the clergy and Adat Shalom’s
religious school. The calendar is indeed full and all we need is
you!
- Family Fun Day Men’s Club will be co-sponsoring a kick-off Family Fun Day with
the Religious School and the Sisterhood on September 9th with
food and fun for all ages. After that, the High
Holidays will be upon us as they are early this
year. Question: Why are they always early or late
but never on time…? No matter. The Men’s Club
will be there to deliver a post-Neilah snack at the
close of Yom Kippur. Believe me, if you ever want
to feel really loved, handing out cookies post-Neilah is a surething.

BETH ACHIM RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
Preparing for a New Year
from Melissa Ser
Director of Congregational Learning
IT’S A GREAT TIME to walk through store aisles.
Seeing all those brand new school supplies makes
you so excited about the promise of the new school
year about to start. (Isn’t it amazing what a fresh box
of crayons and a new notebook can do?)
The Adat Shalom team of educators has picked
up its supplies and is ready to welcome you and your
families, with Religious School preparations in full
swing. We have a lot of new and exciting educational
programs for this congregation, and I’m thrilled to be
guiding them.
WE ARE REVITALIZING THE SUNDAY MORNING PROGRAM
FOR OUR K-6 STUDENTS. We will begin our day with
Jewish Connections, our grade-level based curricula
of holidays, life cycle events, Jewish history, Israel,
and current events. Our students will learn to connect personally with each of these aspects of their
heritage and history.
Following our Jewish Connections curriculum
(which will often include family education, as well as
art, music, and computers), we’ll come together for
prayer as a school-wide community (Tefillah
b’Kehilah). This will be a regular opportunity for parents to join their children in prayer and song.
Finally, we will end our Sunday mornings with
Hebrew Connections, an integrated language and
prayer curriculum that

Throughout the school year our rabbis visit Michigan universities in hopes of connecting with your son/daughter. With the help of
parent volunteers, Adat Shalom sends your student Chanukah and
Pesach ‘goody’ packages and email messages from our Rabbis.
In addition, Adat Shalom wants to connect with young adults
(20-30s). Adat Shalom sends them holiday packages, email messages
from our Rabbis, and invitations to participate in the Young Adult
Group at Adat Shalom (see page 11 for more information).
ENROLLMENT NOW OPEN!
We appreciate it if you have already given us your son/daughter’s contact information last year. Nevertheless, each fall we update
our database and kindly request your help by completing the tear off
below or emailing the information on the tear off to Jodi Gross,
[email protected]. If your student/young adult has not moved,
please let us know that as well. Thanks.

planning for a new year for

still need your input, attendance, involvement and participation

Sometimes I feel like I live at Adat Shalom. It is the place
where I pray and the place where I work. In reality I spend more
hours here than I do at home. But I feel a comfort in calling this
my home away from home, and I hope that you do too. If you are
not there yet, please reach out and let us help you make this your
home. You can talk to whomever you are most comfortable with,
whether it is a member of the clergy or someone from the

UPCOMING FAMILy EVENTS
Family Education programs are endowed in memory
of Oscar Cook and in honor of Jeanette Cook

Come schmooze while your children run and play outside on our
playground ( or inside if it is too hot or raining). Pre-school age and

WE ARE SO ExCITED TO ANNOUNCE that our own Rachel
Levine, 3&4 year-old teacher, has received the Grinspoon
Steinhardt Award for excellence in Jewish Education. The
Grinspoon and Steinhardt Foundations recognize that a
strong Jewish education is one of the key predictors of a
child’s continued Jewish commitment as he/she grows into
adulthood. Rachel was selected from a multitude of applications. The selection is done through the Federation. Rachel
is an incredible teacher who makes learning fun. She recognizes the importance of positive self- esteem and self-image
and uses her talent to infuse the love of learning to the children in her class. We are thrilled that Rachel’s passion is
our gain.
Rachel has been teaching in the field of Jewish education for eight years, seven of which have be here in the Adat
Shalom ECC. She worked in secular education for nine
years prior to that. She holds a Bachelors Degree in
Elementary Education from Eastern Michigan University
and an M.A.T. from Oakland University.

SUMMER FUN AT ADAT SHALOM
Camp is in full swing, and the children are
having a fantastic summer. Their smiles
each day are testaments to their wonderful
experience. The weather has been great, and
the heat gives us a lot of water play opportunities. The
children have loved the oscillating sprinkler the best. We
have brought in special guests throughout the summer.
We began with a party, and we continued the celebration
all summer long. We’ve enjoyed the bouncie, a petting zoo,
a mad scientist, the “animal guy” and so much more.
We’ve celebrated pajama day, red white & blue day, crazy
hat day, bring your favorite stuffed animal day, and more.
We never run out of days to celebrate.
If you would like to sign up for last two weeks of
camp, August 6 and 13, space is still available. Also,
before the school year begins, we will be offering FUN DAyS
the weeks of August 20 and 27. Please contact the office
for additional information or to sign up.

appeal was that it was the only egalitarian conservative synagogue in town. With a prinPraying With Their Feet

unacceptable. We also met Rabbi Danny Nevins, who was incredibly warm and welcoming, and Alan Yost, who was equally kind and inviting. The synagogue had a hamishe air
about it that drew us in and made us feel comfortable. Our initial impressions still ring
true, perhaps even more so than when we first joined.
I’m really so proud to be the new president of this synagogue for a number of reasons. I believe this is a special congregation that cares deeply about its members. We have
outstanding clergy, dedicated professional staff and committed lay leaders. I enjoy the

YAD EZRA DELIVERIES….Thank you to Natalie Blum for coordinating
the volunteers this past year. Natalie is attending medical school, so we
are looking for someone to assume this role. “Job” responsibilities are

A NEW PROJECT OPPORTUNITY… Joanne Kristal, Community
Outreach Director for Jewish Senior Life, recently contacted me. She is
looking for volunteers to assist older Jewish adults who reside in nonJewish facilities. There are more than 1000 older Jewish adults residing in over 100 non-Jewish facilities in the Detroit area. Activities can
include friendly visiting, playing games, doing a social action project
together, or celebrating holidays or Shabbat. She would find the facility and help plan the activity. Contact me if you can help. It is so important to keep these seniors involved in Jewish life.

Berlin, a hall that rivals Carnegie in both acoustics and beauty. The following morning we had
a Shabbat service during which forty-five different cantors davened (there were seventy-five on
the trip,) and I led everyone in the Mi Sheberach which we sing every Shabbat at Adat Shalom.
The next day there was a breathtaking concert in the Berliner Dom featuring many of my colleagues and the cathedral’s magnificent choir. It was very powerful to experience Jews and nonJews singing together in this prominent Protestant church that dominates the Berlin landscape.
Some other memorable highlights in Berlin were a boat tour along the Spree River canal, watching the Euro 2012 soccer finals on huge screen TVs set up in Tiergarten Park, and a visit to the
impressive Pergemon Museum with all of its relics from the Ancient Middle East and Islam.
We then traveled south to Munich and made our way to Dachau. Here we davened
Shacharit and toured the numbing grounds of the concentration camp. Then back in Munich
we spent the afternoon at the newly constructed Jewish Center in the heart of the city for a very
moving memorial service commemorating the forty years since the tragedy at the 1972 Olympic
Games in Munich. Three hundred people united together in respect as we dedicated a moment
of silence to the eleven Israeli delegates who were mercilessly murdered. Following this service,
we davened Mincha in the impressive Ohel Jakob Synagogue. This day was by far the emotional crux of the trip.
On the last day of the mission, many of us spent the day in Salzburg. Most famous for The
Sound of Music and Mozart, it is a city that should be on everyone’s “to visit” list. Finally, what
made the trip most special was a series of lectures given by the historian Dr. Stephen Berk. A
riveting orator, Dr. Berk put into historical perspective the story of the Jewish people in Germany
from the Middle Ages through the modern era. Always able to captivate the audience, Dr. Berk
added a dimension to the trip that those present will surely always remember.
I’m sure that plans are already in the works for the next international Cantors Assembly
trip. I hope that you will consider joining me as a delegate on this unique musical journey of
heritage and healing.

FROM
BARRY L. LIPPITT, RITUAL DIRECTOR & COORDINATOR, BAR/BAT MITZVAH INSTRUCTION
IN AUGUST WE LIKE TO UPDATE our records so we are ready for
the new year, and the new year’s projects. Our first project
this coming year is to match all of our members who had
a bar or bat mitzvah ceremony with their individual
parashah and Haftarah. If you’re on our compiled list, we’ll
be able to reach out to you to invite you to have an aliyah
to mark the anniversary, or to chant Haftarah when we
have no new bar or bat mitzvah observance scheduled. To
help me compile this list, send an email to me
([email protected]) and use the message title: “Bar
Mitzvah anniversary information.”
qqqqq
MANY CONGREGANTS ASK US to add a prayer for healing for
family members and friends. If you would like us to add a
name to the Mi Sheberach list, send an email to both me
and my assistant, Caren Harwood ([email protected]), and include the following information: 1.
English name, 2. Hebrew name and mother’s Hebrew
name, if known, 3. Reason for addition to list (this is kept
confidential, shared only with clergy), 4. When to begin
(e.g., immediately, or on date of or preceding surgery), 5.
When to end (we will typically list someone for 1 month,
unless we receive other instructions)
When sending the email, use the message title: “Mi
Sheberach request.”
qqqqq
WHEN A MEMBER FAMILY EXPERIENCES A LOSS, Adat Shalom will
often arrange to supervise the home shiva services by
sending someone either to lead the prayer services or to
assist family members in leading the services. Because
clergy are not always available to supervise these services,
we look to our lay members to represent the synagogue on
these occasions.
[email protected]) no later than August 10. Review sessions for readers will be held on Thursday, 9/6; Sunday,
9/9; and Thursday, 9/13.
qqqqq
AUGUST IS A PRIME MONTH for vacations, and several of our
morning and evening minyan regulars will be away. Please
help us out in August by picking a day of the week and a
service, and make it your own during August (and, of
course, you don’t need to stop at month’s end). In return, we
offer you a friendly community for prayer, and, if you join us
in the morning, a great breakfast. Morning minyan begins at
7:30 a.m. Monday – Friday and 8:30 a.m. on Sunday.
Evening minyan, from Sunday – Friday begins at 6 p.m.
qqqqq
AS A REMINDER FOR ALL WHO JOIN US IN THE MORNING on days we
read Torah (Mondays, Thursdays, Rosh Chodesh, and Fast
Days), our minyan policy is that, to receive an aliyah, men
must be wearing tefillin (we do have some extra sets available for your use, but we can’t promise they’ll fit). In particular, if you’re coming to get an aliyah when you have
yahrzeit, and you’re a male, bring your tefillin or ask to borrow a set.
qqqqq
SPEAKING OF OUR DAILY BREAKFAST, it would not be possible
but for the culinary skills of Marvin Brown. For those who
enjoy our breakfasts when they come, please consider a
donation to our Minyan Breakfast Fund, to mark an aliyah
you receive at the daily minyan, to make a donation when
you request a special prayer be offered, or just because you
like French Toast Tuesdays (if you don’t know what these
are, please join us on a Tuesday morning).
We are compiling a new list of lay members who would like
to participate in this program, and will provide them with
the training and background to serve as the synagogue’s
representative. If you would like to be on the list, please
send me your name, email address, and daytime phone
number (home or cell).
qqqqq
THE HIGH HOLIDAYS ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER, in the middle of September. As in the past, we invite our post-b’nai
mitzvah teens (in middle school or high school only,
please) to enhance the holiday experience by reading
Torah for our services. Invitations have gone out to many
of our teens; if you did not receive one and would like to
chant Torah this year, please send an email to me (blip-
