LUNCH
Thank YOu to all who attended the
2015 Rosh Hashanah Lunch!
Rosh Hashanah lunch
September 14, 2015
The Rosh Hashanah lunch was a huge success! This sold-out event was filled with Temple Israel members and friends
who shared fun and laughter over an amazing spread of traditional Jewish foods and brunch-style staples such as lox
and bagels, chicken salad and eggs. The pancake station supplied made-to-order hotcakes, which were launched through
the air by a professional pancake tosser and caught by kids and adults alike, including the Rabbis. Apples and honey,
fruit and flowers served as the decor and helped to start this new year with sweetness and beauty as we all enjoyed the
company and friendship of our congregation after Rosh Hashanah morning services.

Dear members and friends,
annual
APPEAL
As we look back over the past year at Temple Israel, we are reminded of what a transformative year it has been. It was only
in December that we rededicated our Gall Family Sanctuary, and even now we are in the midst of further construction as we
continue to update our facilities to better suit our needs. Our preschool and Religious School continue to grow and thrive;
our attendance at worship, adult education and social service programs are growing and expanding. We have also made
transformative changes in our leadership staff and in our financial operations.
We have had so many opportunities to celebrate the strength of this community, and there will be many more in the year to
come. Yet in order to sustain the wonderful and vibrant community that we have at Temple Israel, we need the support of all
of our members. Annual synagogue support (dues) and school fees cover only 75 percent of our operating expenses. We rely
on the additional generosity of our members to meet our operating needs.
The money we raise each year through the High Holy Days Appeal is a vital source of income that helps to support the
programming we offer as well as our ongoing operations. This year our goal is to raise $50,000. If each member of the
congregation gave just $54, we could reach our goal, yet even a gift of $18 would be a wonderful show of support.
Your pledge to the High Holy Days Appeal will be matched by our pledge to build upon your trust and ensure that Temple
Israel continues to serve this community’s spiritual, social, and educational needs. We welcome donations of any amount, and you can also donate online at www.ti-stl.org/appeal2015.
As we look forward to 5776, we extend our collective best wishes to you and your family for a happy, healthy and peaceful
New Year filled with much happiness and joy!
Shanah Tovah!

president’s message
Dee A. Mogerman
Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from President Dee Mogerman’s address to the congregation on
Erev Rosh Hasahanah. To read the speech in its entirety, visit www.ti-stl.org/presidentsmessage.
Every year, the High Holy Days present us with a unique
opportunity. As Jews, we break from our usual routines
and engage in self-examination. We perform “Cheshbon
haNefesh” – literally, an “accounting of the soul.” We
examine our personal lives, taking an honest look inward,
at our behavior, our attitudes, our actions, to let go of
the burdens of the past and move forward. We do this to
become better people in the new year ahead. Today, we
perform a communal Cheshbon HaNefesh, an accounting
of our congregational soul. We do this together, as a
community, as we move forward in this new year.
The Temple Israel of today is made up of nearly 900
member families, and we remain a vibrant, thriving
congregation. No one is turned away from Temple
membership for the inability to pay dues. We are a far more
diverse community than we were 30 years ago. We see tallit
and kippot worn on the bimah and among our congregants
more and more. Our membership consists of families of
all shapes, sizes and types as our past president, JoAnne
Levy, often observed. We remain innovative and active in all
phases of lifelong learning, in Torah study and in religious
action.
Our building is now over 50 years old, and TI has been
housed on this Creve Coeur campus for nearly half of our
129 year history. We have finally fixed that leaky roof and
we have renovated some of the important spaces sheltered
by it. In fact, our latest construction project was completed
just last week. The beautiful new Handelman Gathering
Place, a gift from the estate of Frieda Handelman, of
blessed memory, is a stunning new addition to our Temple
facility. This project also updated our restrooms and HVAC
systems on the north side of the building.
Your board is committed to approving a balanced budget
each year. Membership dues alone do not cover all of our
expenses and have not for many years. We have worked
hard to keep our expenses in line but need to enhance our
income from dues with ongoing fundraisers, such as the
High Holy Days Appeal and the Scrip program to plug the
gap in our budget. To accomplish our goal to meet your
www.ti-stl.org / October 2015 / 5 page
needs we must successfully ensure the financial stability
of the congregation. If you have not yet contributed to our
appeal, I hope you will consider doing so to the best of your
ability. We count on these gifts to meet our expenses so we
can continue to provide the services our members value.
We thank those of you who have already contributed and
for your consideration.
As synagogue leaders, we try to embrace change while
honoring the past; we want to be inclusive, and for
every member to feel comfortable and valued here at
TI. As always, we will not turn anyone away from Temple
membership for the inability to pay dues. These are our
commitments to our members. We must continue to
provide spiritual, educational and communal benefits which
are attractive to them so they will find value in affiliation
and community.
Our magnificent, 53 year old building will also continue
to challenge us. We are committed to staying here. Major
renovations have been made in the past three years and
we are in the early stages of making it a greener, more
efficient facility. There is a long to-do list, starting with our
Education building and replacing old systems with newer,
more efficient ones. This will not only help us to address
our obligation of tikkun olam but will significantly reduce
our operating costs in the future, so we may continue to
gather here, sharing each other’s joyful days, offering
comfort to each other in times of grief and sorrow, and
evolving as one. We have many challenges ahead of us;
there is no doubt about it. As we complete our communal
Chesbon HaNefesh, our accounting of our congregational
soul, let us commit to meeting these challenges together
and to move forward not only into the new year ahead but
into the next 30 and beyond.
May we begin 5776 with a renewed sense of community,
of commitment and of purpose for this amazing spiritual
home we call Congregation Temple Israel.
Ken y’hi ratzon, L’Shanah Tovah.

If Not Now, When?
Rabbi Amy Feder
A few years ago, when we first began construction on the
Temple roof, we had to cancel the annual Thanksgiving
Dinner for People in Need. Even though it was cancelled for
only one year, it was an upsetting decision to have to make;
we knew that there were many people, including both our
guests and our volunteers, who would be disappointed by
not being able to attend the dinner. But, then something
wonderful happened. We came up with the idea to bake
pumpkin pies and donate them to the Harvey Kornblum
Jewish Food Pantry, and our congregation baked hundreds
and hundreds of pies to help make people’s holiday tables
a little more festive. It took just that one experience to
create a new tradition, and this will be the third year that
Pies with a Purpose plays a central role in the tikkun olam
we do at Temple Israel.
What inspires me most about Pies with a Purpose is how
easy it was to create a new tradition. Though it was born
out of a dilemma, Pies with a Purpose gained a life and
momentum of its own that has outlasted its original intent.
It has not only provided our congregation with a fun, simple
way to fulfill the mitzvah of feeding the hungry and caring
for those in need, but it also has given us a new tradition
that helps to define our lives. (See page 11 for details
on Pies with a Purpose and volunteering for our annual
Thanksgiving dinner.)
for us? While many (hopefully most!) of us attend High Holy
Days services, the holidays of Sukkot and Simchat Torah
that follow are two of the most fun, celebratory and easy
festivals on the Jewish calendar. Perhaps this should be
the year that you create a tradition of building your own
sukkah, or coming to TI and helping to build ours. Or you
can order your own lulav and etrog online and enjoy the
experience of shaking the lulav and making etrog jelly when
the holiday ends. Maybe you’ll join us for Simchat Torah,
where we unroll the entire Torah scroll from beginning to
end and hold it up as a community. Each of these has the
potential to create meaningful, lasting memories and to
add even just a little bit more holiness to your life.
You don’t have to reinvent relevant, meaningful Judaism
on your own. Part of our role here at Temple Israel is to
help you make your own new customs that fit with who
you are and what you may be seeking. Simply showing up
can be all the impetus you need to create a tradition that
may become one that your family one day won’t imagine
ever being able to go without. I look forward to seeing you
all often over the weeks to come, and to sharing our new
traditions together.

CHUTZPAH
Rabbi Michael Alper
Each year on Simchat Torah, we celebrate the consecration
of our new Religious School students, primarily
kindergarteners plus those students who are just enrolling
at TI for the first time, regardless of their age. Last year,
my son Jonah was one of the kindergarteners being
consecrated, and I watched as he proudly accepted his
stuffed Torah and danced around the sanctuary with it as
the adults took turns dancing with the real Torah scrolls.
Since then, the stuffed Torah has become his favorite
“stuffie”, one he sleeps with at night and brought to his
public school Show and Tell when asked to share items that
helped describe who he was.
I watch him with his beloved stuffed Torah with both
pleasure and regret. Pleasure at seeing how much his
Judaism means to him, and regret in knowing that this
innocent revealing of his Jewish self will not last long.
Truth be told, I probably will not be able to write articles
like this much longer; at 6 1/2, he may not be bothered by
his dad sharing “adorable” stories about him, but I know
enough about child development to know that my time for
these sharings is running short.
Still, what saddens me most is that not just Jonah, but all
of us, reach a point where openly sharing our Jewish selves
just doesn’t feel cool anymore. Perhaps that can be said of
any faith, but there is a part of me that wishes we could all
have those moments like the original Jonah the prophet
did in his story that we read on Yom Kippur. In his moment
www.ti-stl.org / October 2015 / 7 page
of glory, when it was time for him to reveal his true nature
to the sailors with whom he was sharing his storm-tossed
boat, Jonah the prophet said, “Ivri Anochi - I am a Hebrew.”
It was his Judaism that defined him, bravely and openly,
just as my little Jonah proudly shares his stuffed Torah.
Why is it so difficult for us as adults to do the same?
We live in an era where people openly display everything
about themselves over the internet, from their latest
vacation photos to exactly what they had for dinner. Can
and should our Judaism not be as proudly displayed, as
much of a defining characteristic of ourselves as what
shows we watch on TV or what vacation spot we most
recently visited? May this be the year in which we proudly
reveal our Jewish selves. May we hold our Jewish identities
out for the world to see and say, “Ivri Anochi, I am a Jew.”
And may that knowledge bring us comfort, wisdom and
fulfillment.

Deutsch Early Childhood
Center of TEMPLE ISRAEL
Leslie Wolf, Director
DECC has had a marvelous start to the 2015-16 school year.
The classrooms are flourishing with over 175 children
enrolled! This is the largest enrollment that we have ever
had at the beginning of a school year. Our flexible schedule
is one reason, but I truly attribute the growth of our school
to the incredible team of teachers who love what they do
and consistently provide the very best Early Childhood
Education in a warm, loving and nurturing environment!
I am also very excited to tell you that, through the
generosity of Amy Lefton, mom of Sadie and Sacha who are
twins in Jan Blumoff and Jenny Anger’s Dolphin classroom,
all of the DECC staff are CPR trained and certified. We had
always had the recommended number of staff CPR certified
in accordance with the state guidelines; however, now our
entire staff has been trained in the curriculum and will
continue to be every two years. Moving forward, this will be
mandated under our next voluntary Missouri Accreditation
in a few years. The safety of our students is always at the
forefront and a big thank you to Amy Lefton from all of
us at DECC. I also want to thank Amy and Jason Wellen,
Solomon’s parents, for providing the lunch during our staff
training.
Excellence in Reform Movement Early Childhood
Engagement.” I applied to the URJ to be able to participate
in this select group so that DECC is able to stay at the
forefront of Jewish Early Childhood programming. To
be able to engage and learn with other Early Childhood
professionals through the URJ gives Temple Israel access
to top Jewish leaders in the field. This opportunity will
allow me to learn about the newest trends in Jewish
Early Childhood Education that are innovative and will
ensure DECC’s continued success. I am excited that we
were chosen join this select group. I will keep you up to
date as to what I am learning and how we might be able
to implement some of the strategies at DECC and Temple
Israel!
Thanks for your continued support.
Love,
Leslie

Jed Filler, RJE, Director of Youth Education
Shalom Chaverim!
Now that we are almost finished with the High Holy Days,
the regular work begins! I have shared some of the exciting
new things in our TIRS over the last couple of months – an overview in August, and some details about the Hebrew
program (Kavanah) in September.
Now, I want to continue to hear from and about you in
a ‘listening’ tour. Over the next seven months, I will be
inviting Religious School parents to coffee (or some
equivalent) so that I can learn a little more about each of
you, your Jewish journey, and your family’s connections to
Temple Israel.
These meetings will help me to better understand our
community and begin to craft a vision for Jewish education
here at TI that reflects all of our families’ history and
connections.
While on the ‘listening’ tour, I also want to help keep
everyone connected to TI and to one another. Last year we
started our Facebook group for the Religious School. To
access the group, simply send me an email at [email protected] and ask to be added, and I can take care
of that for you. It is great to be a part of the group as we
continue with ‘selfie-Sundays’ where we encourage our
students, parents, and teachers to take ‘selfies’ and send
them to me for posting in our Facebook group.

At the end of this month – on October 30th - our 6th grade
is scheduled to help lead our Friday night Shabbat service.
We are looking forward to having them help to lead us in
worship as they begin their lead-up to becoming a Bar and
Bat Mitzvah. We hope that you will join us as we celebrate
their achievements as our October Shabbat Stars!

TIFTY News
A Note FROM Adam
Shalom Temple Israel,
I have been involved with NFTY for the past 11 years, both
as a youth grouper and as an advisor. It is a true pleasure
to watch young Jewish teens go through an amazing
transformation and become better leaders and even
greater adults. The NFTY year has already begun and we
had an amazing time at our first event. It was called LTI or
Leadership Training Institute. It took place in Kansas City
and started off our year in a great fashion. We learned how
to become better leaders in our communities and learned
new ways to help our fellow teenagers be actively engaged
in their communities as well. This year is already jampacked with fun events such as, our Camp Sabra and MIzzou
Football game overnight on Sept. 19, Paintballing with high
schoolers on Oct. 4, NFTY SLIID Fall Chavurah at Camp GUCI
in Indiana Oct. 16-18, and our Shabonfire on Nov. 13. We are
excited for the year and we cannot wait to have you all join us!

TIFTY LEADERS SPoke ON THEIR
Leadership EXPeriences AT TI
During Shabbat services on August 14, a few of our 2014-15
Temple Israel Federation of Temple Youth (TIFTY) board
members spoke to the congregation about their leadership
experiences at Temple Israel. Kelsey Culp, Hannah Snidman,
and Erin Wides, all of whom were on last year’s TIFTY board
and active in Temple life and the greater St. Louis Jewish
community, shared some of their thoughts on what TI has
taught them about leadership and Judaism and how that
experience will shape the next steps of their individual
journeys.
Here are a few inspiring quotes from their presentations.
“Temple Israel was where I longed to be, whether in
times of happiness or sorrow. After youth group programs ended, where was the first place my friends
and I went? It wasn’t the movies or some party, we
stayed at Temple having heart-to-hearts on the bimah
or just hanging out in the youth lounge, and there was
no place we’d rather be. My life has been here, from
teaching Hebrew in the Religious School, to helping in
the kitchen, to youth group.”
Kelsey Culp
“TIFTY has a warm and opening feel and I truly believe
that every Jewish teen has a place here. Whether
someone wants to come to a few events occasionally,
join cabinet as a transition, or work on the board in a
leadership position, everyone can find a fitting role...
Serving as TIFTY’s Israeli Consultant and then Social
Action Vice President helped me understand what
being a Jewish leader entails. To me, being a Jewish
leader means having the confidence to stand up for
what you believe in and encourage others to join you.”
Hannah Snidman
“Since growing up at TI, I’ve always been surrounded
by leaders, Rabbis, mentors, peers, etc. When it came
time to have a leadership opportunity, I knew it would
be good for me. Since being a part of something so
special, I have learned how to work with others, get
through difficult situations, and know that hard work
really does pay off. I cannot thank the people at Temple
Israel enough for supporting me in my time here,
and now, in my future. It’s been more than anything I
could’ve imagined, and I’m so grateful for all of the opportunities!”

Since the 1970’s, Bible study on Saturday mornings
has been a prominent feature of our Adult Education
program. Rabbi Emeritus Mark L. Shook has been
teaching the class to a full house since 1987. Over the
course of the year, the class features a unique, in-depth
exploration of a single book of the Bible. Rabbi Shook
weaves together ancient history, Biblical scholarship,
and even current topics as they interact with the
meaning and understanding of the Biblical text. This year, the class will examine the writings of the
so-called “Second Isaiah” found in the later chapters
of the Book of Isaiah. These chapters played a major
role in Rabbinic Jewish theology, but also shaped early
Christian theology as well.

New Mt. Sinai Cemetery
There are a lot of new developments at New Mt. Sinai: first,
we have a new section at the cemetery – 84 new two-grave
family lots. These affordable lots allow you to have a family
monument as well as foot markers. Located on a beautiful
hill in the newest area of New Mt. Sinai, these lots are sure
to be a popular choice for couples looking for property just
for the two of them. Call now to schedule an appointment
to see these new two-grave lots.
And the cemetery has just purchased a new pressure
washer to clean the many structures around our historic
grounds. If you have monuments or markers on your
family’s lot or grave and those stones have become dingy
over the years, we can now offer very reasonable prices
to clean the stones. As a member of one of our owner
congregations, you qualify for a discounted rate. So
contact our office today and make arrangements to have
your loved ones’ resting place “spruced up.”
Dan Brodsky, Executive Director
