Rabbi’s Ramblings by
Rabbi Bennett Greenspon
When I meet with couples about
their upcoming weddings I often
ask a question that would not be
asked by an orthodox or
conservative rabbi; “Are there any
traditions you want to incorporate
or eliminate from the ceremony?”
More often than not the bride will say that she wants to
circle the groom. Sometimes, the groom will say that he
wants the bride to circle him. I will then ask why. The
answer is generally, “Well I was at a wedding and I saw
them do it.” I then ask them to go home and research
the tradition and to give me a better reason than that.
When we get back together the bride has often changed
her mind. She no longer likes the tradition. Sometime
she sees it as misogynistic, sometimes as archaic,
sometimes as sexist; “What do you mean he is checking
out the merchandise, I am not a horse.” But often the
couple still wants to do the ritual because they have
found a deeper spiritual meaning behind it; “I am
encompassing him with my love.” Sometimes they want
to do only one circle, sometimes three, and on rare
occasion the bride will do three, the groom three and
the last is a do-si-do.
As we look at the circle as a symbol they will remind me
that it is unending, they will remind me that it
continuous, and repetitive as their love and life is. I have
been thinking about this for a while with regards to
weddings and to Rosh Hashanah. Is life a circle? Is it
unending and repetitive? Should it be? Are we all in a
“Ground Hog Day” movie?
I think not and hope not. Lately I have been telling
couples that it is not a circle that they are making. Yes,
it is a circle but only because of gravity. They are really
making a spiral. Each rotation is just a little higher than
the one before. Each is a little different. Each is arcing
up just a little. Only we cannot see it, we can only
imagine it. (I have this image of a “Slinky” in my head,
stretching and contracting, going down steps but
unfortunately not able to go up them.)
As we come to a new year we need to make sure that
we are spiraling upward (and not downward) even if it is
just a little bit. We need to make sure that we are not
repeating the patterns of behavior or the habits that
have held us back from reaching our higher selves.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are here to remind us
that we are not groundhogs, that we are not totally
bound by our genes and programming. They are here to
remind us that we are children of the divine, that we are
special, and that we must be kadosh, holy but not
necessarily using the definition you are envisioning,
May these special days bring us back to our roots and
our holiness! Karen and I and our family wish you a
Sweet Year. On behalf of my TBE family, staff,
directors, board and officers I pray you will have a year
filled with joy. May you be inscribed for a good year of
life and success!
Rabbi’s Writings by
Rabbi Frank DeWoskin
A parent and child take a walk
into the woods to look around and
reflect on the past year of their
lives. As they wander they come
across a lake that is as smooth as
glass. They talk with each other
about their perfect reflection,
remembering the beautiful events
that happened over the last year.
All of a sudden, a gust of wind blows across the lake
causing ripples to appear. The clear reflection is
suddenly disturbed. The conversation shifts to
remembering sad times over the last year that took
place out of anyone’s control.
The wind dies down and a sense of
appears over the water. Those good
memories flood back to them.

calm once again
times and happy
While in deep
a rock into the
With the ripples in the water, they talk about excitement
and changes that happened over the last year that they
controlled. As the waters calm once again, they
continue on their journey knowing the past year, filled
with ripples and calm, was amazing and the year ahead
will be even more remarkable.
As we approach the High Holy Days, it is a time to
reflect over the last year. With our camp programs in
their last few weeks, our schools getting ready to
welcome students, Temple activities beginning to gear
up, I encourage you to think over the last year. Where
were you in your life in September, 2011? What were
you doing? What has happened to help your life change
from then until now? Perhaps you have gone through
challenging times and found the strength to face those
challenges. Maybe you made a career change that led
you down a new path or had a new baby or lost a loved
one or got married…
Where do you think life will take you by September,
2013? It is hard to know where our life journey is taking
us. Your synagogue is a great resource to help
celebrate joys and support moments of sadness and
hardship. We are here to help you strengthen your
Jewish connection through programs, spirituality and
community.
May your summer end sweet and may your new year be
a wonderful experience, more than you dream possible.

Cantorial Notes by Cantor Jan Sheer
From the Executive Director, Jay Nemes
Shalom Everyone,
As we approach our most pensive time of
year as Jews, our High Holy Days, I have
been thinking a lot about our beautiful
tradition of Musar...working on ourselves to
develop the most positive traits we possibly
can.
As we have been discussing in our wonderful "Introduction to
Judaism" classes, the attribute of gratitude seems to grow in
our lives, giving us even more to be grateful for...and we find
that we actually are walking around in our very same lives as
happier people!
We have a tradition of finding 100 opportunities EACH DAY to
say a blessing...a prayer of thanks. This practice radically
changes our perspective!
To help you along this path, I offer the following to think
about every time you eat...
Contemplate the amazing and mysterious process of
photosynthesis, providing the precise amount of rays from our
sun...which is 93 million miles away! Consider how water
evaporates from our salty seas and turns into sweet rain to
water our earth. Then, reflect on how a tiny seed that is
planted in the brown dirt of earth begins somehow to grow and
develop into a living plant. How miraculous is the growth of
food from seeds! A single grain can produce more than 1000
new grains...and 1 grain of wheat can produce 300 ears. Now,
look at the cookie in your hand. Who has worked so many
wonders to give it to you? NOW, when you take a bite, you can
truly enjoy what is placed before you. How many more
miracles are also placed before you?
Shana Tova,
Cantor Jan

I want to welcome you back and hope all of
you had a wonderful summer. I hope the
summer gave you an opportunity to be with
your family and enjoy each other’s
company at home or on vacation. I would
like to thank our Camp Director, Robin
Sheridan, her assistants, Dina Milgram and
Sarah DeWoskin, and the entire camp staff for doing a
tremendous job keeping our children happy every minute of
the day, making this the best summer camp ever. Travel Camp
also had a successful summer program with the guidance of
Rayna Engle & Joel Lazarus.
Several planning meetings have been held over the summer
by the board leadership and staff in order to get a head start
for the 2012-2013 year. The new board is comprised of a
diverse and dedicated group of individuals who are anxious to
make us the best that we can be in our community. I look
forward to working with them, our TBE President, Charles
Cutler, Rabbi Greenspon, and Rabbi DeWoskin. We hope that
more of you will get involved in our community and bring your
friends and neighbors to many of our programs so they too can
become part of the TBE family. Please feel free to contact me,
any staff member, or board member, if you have any questions
or concerns. Remember to always check the website for last
minute updates on the programs in our calendar. If you are not
receiving regular email notices, please let me know.
September will bring the beginning of another New Year for
Jews around the world. As we approach this High Holy Day
season, we can look back on the past year with thankfulness
for everything we have and for making it through another year.
We are blessed to have our health, family, loved ones, friends,
jobs, homes, food, income and a future. We must proceed
through the New Year, 5773, with continued energy so as to
improve ourselves and our families. Every individual must
know that they have enormous potential. Let’s take those small
steps to grow and change, to unite our community and come
closer to our friends, our synagogue and God. This will allow
us to improve ourselves and the way our world will be for our
children. With the spirit of the baby steps we take in our
community, may God watch over Jews throughout the world
and this year in the land of Israel. Shana Tova to you and your
family. May the year 5773 be filled with good health, happiness
and peace for everyone.

From The President, Charles Cutler
Friends and Family:
Temple Beth Emet
It has been an honor and a privilege to have
served my first year as President of Temple
Beth Emet. One of the special things about
our congregation, its leadership, and our
schools, is the commitment to serving not
only our member families, but our
community at large. We don’t just talk about
Tikkun Olam… we do it! I am so proud that
Temple Beth Emet members and students play such a vital
role in the community in which we live and set such a great
example for others to follow.

At Mitzvah Day this year, we introduced the concept of Mini
Mi’s, which are organized events each month where our
members (old and young alike) can join a service project. For
the last few months, we have had nearly two dozen
participants visiting the Broward Outreach of Pompano. Please
join us on the fourth Sunday of each month when we will be
visiting an organization in the community to lend our support.
What our congregation accomplished on our annual Mitzvah
Day is nothing short of astounding – let’s keep the momentum
going throughout the year.

This time of year, with Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur upon
us, is always a time for reflection; to give thanks for what we
have been blessed with and to seek to repent for things we
should have done differently. The recent tragedy in Aurora,
Colorado was a shock to us all. Let it serve as a reminder to be
thankful for the family and friends around us, and to focus on
the positive things in our lives. Let us strive for the upcoming
year to be one where we live our lives with no regrets, where
we let the people we love know how important they are to us.
Help to make the world around us a better place, and do what
we can to live to our potential.

WHERE IS CHILDHOOD?
WELCOME BACK!
I recently had a conversation with a member
of the Temple whose sons, now 8 and 12
years old, went through our preschool. We
talked about the beginning of school (it
hasn’t started yet as I write this) and all of
the stresses this beginning brings upon
families.
We hope your summer was wonderful. As
we reflect on the year that has elapsed, and
take pride in our students accomplishments
here are a few things about Beth Emet
Elementary School that make us smile:
We rush from place to place, from lesson to lesson, and class
to class. Families are able to spend less and less time doing
things together, and even less time doing nothing together!
Children have hours and hours of homework and no time to
play or just “hang out.” Then, there are the FCATs. Our
children are stressed!
As adults, we know how quickly the years of our lives fly by.
Can you really remember what it was like not to be saddled
with a lot of responsibilities? If we could only recapture the
“good old days” of carefree childhood! What can we do to
make sure that these days last as long as possible for our
children…that their lives don’t turn into the lives of mini-adults,
rushing, competing, and worrying?
HOW CAN WE GET IT BACK?
One crucial luxury we can give our children is the luxury of
time – time with us and time to explore and discover at their
own pace. In our Early Childhood Center, we allow the boys
and girls that luxury. When a child discovered a huge spider
web on the playground fence, other children gathered around
that spot. Instead of rushing the children away when it was
“time” to go to the next activity, the teacher wisely allowed the
natural curiosity of these children to take an ordinary
occurrence and turn it in to a learning experience. They
estimated and guessed how many spiders they thought were
in the web. Then, they counted the spiders to see how close
their estimations had been. They wrote a story about the
spiders, and engaged in other experiences that were
MEANINGFUL to the children. In education jargon, this is
called emergent curriculum. Emergent curriculum is all around
us. Guess and count how many French fries are in your next
order. Does your child know that French fries are potatoes?
How do potatoes grow? How many fries will come from one
potato? Let’s try it at home! Let’s grow a potato. What are the
“eyes”? The possibilities are endless. Let’s take some time to
“smell the roses” (or potatoes).
This is how children learn, and this learning is all around us.
It can connect adults to children in such simple ways and
give them wonderful memories of every day time well
spent.
We wish all of our families a peaceful year of
discovery, fun, and learning!
 On the 2012 SAT test, our student body
as a whole demonstrated exceptional
academic achievement:
*72% of students scored at least one grade level higher than
their current level
*67% of students scored at least two grade levels higher than
their current level
*41% of students in grades 2nd and up achieved Post High
School scores in at least one sub-test
 We have expanded our award winning Agronomy program to
include Tikkun Olam and feeding the hungry.
 Our students won 1st and 2nd Place at the Broward County
Hebrew Spelling Bee.
Looking ahead, BEES is taking giant steps in technology
advancement. Today’s world of education is light years away
from where it was just a decade ago; technology is changing
the classroom experience by leaps and bounds. Rick
Stephens, Senior VP at Boeing states that “Today’s educators
are preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist using
technologies not yet invented to solve problems not yet
identified.” With this in mind, we look at our curricular
opportunities as guided by STEM Education: Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
A dual track is implemented in Mathematics where students
can advance at their pace and achieve their full potential. A
high percentage of our graduates continue on to highly
advanced GEM and Pre-Algebra classes in Middle School.
We have interactive Smart Boards and computers in every
classroom, as well as educational platforms such as
Accelerated Reader, Brain Pop, IXL, and our computer lab.
BEES is host to an annual engineering LEGO competition with
robotics components, Brickmania, created to inspire young
minds in the way of new technical and scientific innovations.
As technology continue to progress, our school has developed
a new strategic plan encompassing a Google Chromebook
per student in grades 3-5. This allows for collaboration,
connectivity, and interactivity, as well as access to a
plethora of programs in 8 seconds flat. For K-2nd grade, we
are equipping classrooms with tablet centers and educational
apps. In addition, we are adopting new hybrid Social Studies
and Science programs.
This is all very exciting! In today’s technological age,
information is expanding rapidly. As we educate a new
generation of leaders, preparation is key.
Shana Tova!!

PTO Communications By Robin Steinman

Sheryl Katz, BEES PTO Manager
Last night we concluded week 6 of camp
with a family Shabbat. As I sat on the patio
watching the young families in attendance I
appreciated their commitment to find a
spiritual moment at our Temple. With a small
breeze blowing, I listened to prayers of my
childhood and calming words and melodies
of our Rabbis and Cantor. This was a
perfect, soothing ending to a long week.
Welcome Back from the PTO! We hope you all had a safe and
happy summer. It was so great to see so many new, as well as
familiar faces around Camp Beth Emet. This was truly a
wonderful summer, and we are looking forward to an amazing
school year! We are kicking off the year with our Welcome to
Our Family Breakfast on Monday, August 20th (ECC and
BEES). This will take place immediately following drop off. We
hope you can join us to reconnect with old friends and make
some new ones!
It is difficult to attend services when you have young children.
Some of us want them to sit, to let us get what we need from
the service. Our children, however, are not always in tune with
our needs. They don’t always want to sit when we want them
to sit or listen when we want them to listen. They have their
own agenda. As parents we often have to put our needs on
hold for our children. This is not easy, especially at the end of
a long week.
The PTO has many great plans for a fabulous year with lots of
fun activities, some of our favorites and a few new special
events. Mark your calendars for these upcoming events…
Services last night made room for everyone’s needs. There
was space to walk, grass in which to play, a child friendly
atmosphere. Hopefully parents were able to get what they
needed from the service while some of their children explored
and found Shabbat peace in their surroundings. This time is
fleeting…all too soon you may be sitting at a service alone
while your teenage children are elsewhere. Enjoy these
experiences with them now.
More activities and dates will be coming your way. Please be
sure your email is up to date and you are receiving weekly
PTO blasts. If not, please email us at [email protected]
to be added to our distribution list.
As we conclude this summer, I want to thank Miss Dina and
Miss Sarah for their amazing work ethic and attention to detail.
The amount of hours and care they gave to make this program
a success is remarkable. Miss Dina and I often left the Temple
late into the night, but with smiles on our faces. We love this
camp and want it to be the best camp around.
Thank you to our amazing counselors who work hard to make
each child’s summer successful! Thank you to our incredible
art teacher Miss Joan, and our wonderful Miss Judy in wood
shop…what you each add to the program amazes me. Miss
Gayle and Miss Sylvia, thank you for making every Shabbat
special. Miss Lindsay, thank you for helping lead lunch room
prayers and morning Boker Tovs. Thank you Miss Jenn for
helping when needed. Unfortunately, I have limited space, and
many people to thank. Each person that helped make this
camp special from campers, to staff, to parents has a special
place in my heart. Our camp has grown every summer and we
could not do it without you! Parents, thank you for believing in
us and allowing us the opportunity to share your children
during these quickly passing eight weeks.
Until next summer…

technology. The school started a Technology Fundraising
Campaign to raise money for adding Google Chrome Books to
our 3rd-5th grade classrooms, and Tablet Stations for our lower
grades. Over $9,000 has been raised, and the BEES PTO has
agreed to match that amount of funds raised. We look forward
to seeing our students and teachers take full advantage of this
exciting new technology.
If you are interested in getting involved with PTO, we would
love to have you! There are many jobs both big and small for
everyone. Please contact us at [email protected] to

look forward to seeing you.

Religious School - Merkaz Limud
Noemi Gozlan, Director
Jennifer Schatz-Young, Assistant Director
Dear Chaverim (Friends),
The academic 2012-2013 school year is
upon us. We have a great year planned
ahead of us. Our summer was very busy
revamping the Family Programs and
adding new and exciting Judaica classes
to our curriculum, focused on connecting
our children, people to people and to our
heritage. We are now solidly in the 21st Century, and we are
pleased with all of the technology that we use to implement
your child’s learning in our Merkaz Limud.
We know that the Hebrew portion of your child’s Jewish
education is vital. Your student should be going over what
they have learned in class on a daily basis. We provide
ways to help study during the week between classes.
Our teacher guided Hebrew Lab on Wednesdays provides
a two hour window for you to bring your child in for extra
help and reinforce that which they have learned in their
classroom.
Keeping in mind how busy the students are with schoolwork
and extra curricular activities, we have a new Hebrew
Tutoring Program through the wonders of technology –
Skype – all from the comfort of your own home! This Skype
program provides your student with twenty minutes of oneon-one teaching and review, and is an opportunity that
should be taken advantage of.

Rayna Engle
Youth Director

Dear Student:
If you are in Kindergarten-12th Grade, we
have a youth program just for you. I am
writing to tell you about four really exciting
programs.
BOGRIM (grades 9th-12th meet every Thursday night from
7:00-9:00 PM) and GESHER (Grades 6th-8th meet every
Tuesday night from 6:30-8:00 PM) are groups comprised of
young people sponsored by Temple Beth Emet. Our
chapter will have numerous activities including Field Trips,
Films, Speakers, Chapter Retreat, Discussions, Games,
Dances, and Mitzvah Trip. Most of all we have a lot of fun.
Together we explore what it means to be Jewish in a way
that is always enjoyable. We also get to meet a lot of other
teenagers from the community. Our first meeting for Gesher
will be Tuesday, August 28th and Bogrim will be Thursday,
August 30th.
CHALUTZIM (Grades 3rd-5th) and OFARIM (Grades
Kindergarten-2nd) meet every other Sunday from 12:30-2:00
PM. It is an opportunity for you to come to the Temple to
have fun and be able to socialize with all of your friends.
Our chapter has a variety of activities, including games,
crafts, cooking, field trips, and most of all, we promote
friendships. Our first program will be September 9th.
Please review our calendar and flyers and come out a try
any of our programs, I promise once you attend you will be
hooked!!!
If you have any questions concerning any of the above
youth groups please feel free to call me at the Temple (954)
680-1882 (Ext. 111). I look forward to meeting all of you!!!
Shalom,
Rayna Engle
We understand that getting here midweek for the Hebrew Youth Director
lab might be difficult for you and your family, so we are
urging you to take advantage of this alternative Skype
program.
Through our educational endeavors, we will always strive to
bring a Jewish spirituality to our students. We are looking
forward to a wonderful school year.
