Molly Buchanan (Speaking about
Richard Rubenstein’s thought.)
Just like Rubenstein, I find it hard to
understand why God would let the
unthinkable happen and allow so
many deaths. Therefore, his idea that
God does not play a role in historical
moments makes sense to me.
However, I also agree that God is
present and watches over us through
our daily lives. It is just that God
may not be the Omnipotent
controller of all history. That,
however, does not mean God is not
somehow connected to all of us.
Abigail Dickstein (Speaking about
Emil Fackenheim’s thought.)
Jewish tradition teaches us that the
Torah provides us with 613 mitzvot.
All of which we, as Jews, use to fulfill
our covenant with God. This past
year, in confirmation class, I learned
that I might be missing an additional
mitzvah; a mitzvah that now seems to
be very important. This mitzvah is
what Emil Fackenheim called the 614
mitzvah. He put it this way: thou
shalt not give Hitler another
posthumous victory. We fulfill the
614 mitzvah by thriving as a people
and we fulfill it by thriving as a
culture. So love practicing Judaism
and be proud to be Jewish.
Aaron Dickstein (Speaking about
I tend to think of myself as a person
who likes to live by facts and
evidence, rather than one who lives
on speculation. Furthermore, as a
human being, in addition to my Jewish
perspective, I simply cannot even
fathom a God who would let millions
upon millions of innocent men,
women and children be heinously
slaughtered as they were in the
Holocaust. As a result the only
acceptable solution is the one which
Rubenstein presents to us.
Gabby Frost (Speaking about
When it comes to his theology he
takes a very radical approach.
Rubenstein looks at the facts of the
Holocaust and argued that God must
be dead. He knows that is a very
provocative statement so he quickly
explains that he means the God of
history died. It is not that he doesn’t
believe in God at all, rather, he
thinks God is a holy no-thing-ness,
the source of life from which all life
comes and eventually will return to.
Skyler Miller (Speaking about the
Confirmation trip.)
While in D.C. I was greatly impacted
by the Holocaust Museum. My usual
experience at a museum is with my
school. This is full of kids mostly
wanting to socialize and take
advantage of not being in school.
This was very different. I think any
Jew who visits the Holocaust
Museum will be greatly affected.
However, being there with a couple
of hundred Jewish youth was a major
experience. During that visit I saw
people tearing up; people were
actually reading the informative signs;
and I saw people bonding over their
automatic similarities by being
Jewish.
Merrie Mollenhauer (Speaking
about the Confirmation trip.)
I go to a school that, including
myself, has three Jewish teens. But
in the hotel we stayed in I was
surrounded by literally hundreds of

Bart Weprin
Temple Israel President
As the newly elected President of
Temple Israel, I am excited about the
opportunity to help lead our
congregation over the next two
years. I plan to build on what past
president Lisa Pierce accomplished
during her presidency. She should be
commended for leading us through
the process of picking an interim
rabbi and to the point of organizing
the rabbinic search for a new senior
rabbi.
I would also like to thank Rabbi
Sofian for all he did as the senior
rabbi for Temple over the past 12
years and wish him and his family the
best in their retirement.
Temple Israel has a very strong
platform and brand. We have an
excellent staff with Suzanne Shaw
moving up to the Executive Director
position, assuming a leadership role.
In addition, hats off to Rabbi BodneyHalasz who continues to perform as
the consummate professional as our
associate rabbi in these times of
change.
Temple Israel is financially sound,
well managed and all is well, but
change is in the wind. We are
experiencing, as many other
congregations in the mid-markets, a
shift in our demographics. We need
to be smart in our planning for the
future.
In July, we welcomed Interim Senior
Rabbi, Ilene Bogosian. She will be
with us for one year. During that
time she will also be our sounding
board for selecting our new rabbi.
We welcome her with open arms
and hope to learn from all of her past
experiences.
Now that you, the congregation, have
a picture of what is going on, I want
to let you know how important you
are. Nothing is possible without you.
I encourage you to stay tuned.
Temple Israel has a great deal of
potential and I need your help to
shape the future of our congregation.
Feel free to contact me anytime.

Jack Nickolaisen (Speaking about
the Confirmation trip.)
Sara Pierce (Speaking about
The greatest experience I had in my
Mordecai Kaplan’s thought.)
From the President
I got several different understandings
about God in Confirmation class.
The one that resonated the most
with me was what Mordecai Kaplan
taught. First of all, he offered an
important idea about Judaism itself.
For him, Judaism is more than the
belief in God, it is a culture. He
called it a civilization. This is an
important insight for me because
following traditions and observing
holidays together are what makes
Judaism a powerful force in my life.
If Judaism is reduced to just the way
we express faith in God the whole
thing becomes really hard since, with
that thinking, doubting God causes all
the practices to feel pointless.
Kaplan reminds us that Judaism is so
special because of its culture or
civilization. That culture is unique
and is worthwhile all on its own.

Rabbi Bodney-Halasz
Jerome Epstein Family
Director of Education
As I write this I am feeling acutely
aware of the importance of our
involvement in the greater community.
Although you will not read this article
until August, I am writing it on the
heels of a week that has deeply
affected our entire country. Between
landmark decisions from the United
States Supreme Court and sitting
together in prayer with our brothers
and sisters at Omega Baptist Church
in solidarity following the tragedy in
South Carolina, we are reminded that
we are a part of something bigger than
ourselves.
We are taught: "Pray as if everything
depends on God. Act as if everything
depends on you." There are times
when prayer is not enough and we
need to be ready to take action.
When Moses arrived at the Red Sea
with the Egyptians behind him, and he
began to pray, we are taught that God
rebuked Moses to stop praying and
part the sea already! Our tradition
teaches that we cannot simply count
upon a miracle when there is work
to be done now to heal our world.
And, it is incumbent upon us that
when we do take action, it is not just
for ourselves and our own selfinterest, but also to advocate on
behalf of others who bear struggles
different from our own, as well as
those with no voice.
Our tradition is replete with verses
that teach us to actively pursue
peace and show compassion to those
who are the most vulnerable. This
fundamental belief is one that
transcends our own faith, which is
why it is important to work together
with other communities of faith who
share the same concerns.
Over the past few months I have
become involved with an
organization called LEAD, Leaders
for Equality and Action in Dayton.
LEAD exists to provide a vehicle for
faith communities in Montgomery
County to work together to address
injustice and create long term
changes in our community. This is
the same organization that recently
helped to bring public transportation
to Beavercreek.
On August 17, at 6:30 p.m. Temple
Israel will be hosting LEAD’s countywide scripture study. This is an
opportunity for congregations to
begin creating deeper relationships as
well as examine how scripture calls
us to action. I am looking forward to
taking part in this program and hope
that many of you will join me. It is a
great opportunity for us to discuss
and better understand the needs of
our community and to raise our
voices together.
The Jewish community has a long
history of working with our
neighbors towards social justice.
Help honor this tradition and join me
at Temple Israel on August 17.
Please contact me in advance if you
are planning to attend or would like
to learn more about LEAD.
