EDITOR’S NOTE:<br />

At Shabbat morning service on February 27, 2010, Temple Emanu-<br />

El was presented with the United Synagogue of Conservative<br />

Judaism’s Solomon Schechter Award for Synagogue Excellence for<br />

our Temple’s Bulletin Kol Emanu-El. The presenter was Harry<br />

Silverman, Associate Director of United Synagogue’s Southeast<br />

Region. Below are the remarks I made as Editor on behalf of Temple<br />

Emanu-El.<br />

Thank you Mr. Silverman. On behalf of Temple Emanu-El I am truly honored to accept this<br />

award. It is especially meaningful to me that the award is named for Solomon Schechter, a<br />

revered Rabbi, an academic scholar, and an esteemed educator. Rabbi Schechter played a<br />

critical role in the Conservative Movement as Founder and President of United<br />

Synagogue of America, as President of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and as<br />

a prime architect of the Conservative Movement. This is quite an honor and a source of<br />

pride for our Temple Emanu-El family especially since our Bulletin will now serve as a<br />

model for other Conservative Synagogues throughout North America.<br />

I took over as Editor in the summer of 2008 following in the footsteps of my friends<br />

Belle Winston and Sybil Sanders who so ably were the prior editing team for Topics the<br />

bulletin’s former name. In fact, they had won an Honorable Mention in the Solomon<br />

Schechter Awards and I wanted to build on their success.<br />

As the new Editor I had a vision. In the spirit of new beginnings, with Rabbi Resnick’s<br />

help, we renamed the bulletin Kol Emanu-El which means “The Voice of Emanu-El”, and we<br />

gave it a bold new look, one which reflects the spirit of our congregation and the vitality<br />

of the work in which we are engaged. On the business side, I wanted the newsletter to<br />

be cost effective…one that could readily be published in-house on a bi-monthly basis, and<br />

easily formatted to address the myriad of religious and educational activities in which this<br />

congregation engages.<br />

The timely publication of Kol Emanu-El would not be possible without the competent<br />

office staff we have: David Schreier, our Synagogue Administrator, Melanie Goldsobel, our<br />

secretary, but most especially Rhona Barnum our graphics secretary. Rhona has done an<br />

amazing job from Day One in actually producing the bulletin for your reading pleasure. In<br />

fact, she alone taught herself the computer program with no formal classes to rely upon.<br />

She has been my teammate for the past two (2) years and I am most grateful for her<br />

advice and counsel.<br />

From a personal standpoint, I have held many hats here at Temple Emanu-El: Member of<br />

the Board of Trustees, Past Executive Committee Member, Adult Education Chair,<br />

Membership Chair, and now as Kol Emanu-El editor. Each position has been an intellectual<br />

challenge for me. As Editor I am proud to have brought you a newsletter that I can say<br />

meets my own exacting standards. Thanks for the opportunity to have done so and thank<br />

you Mr. President, Ron Schram, for asking me to accept the challenge.<br />

Postscript: It is with sincere regret that I inform you of my resignation as Editor of Kol<br />

Emanu-El effective June 30, 2010. Working for the betterment of Temple Emanu-El for the<br />

past twelve (12) years has always been a “labor of love” for me and I will remain a loyal<br />

member of this congregation. However, due to health concerns and on the advice of my<br />

doctors I must significantly curtail my volunteer activities.<br />

<br />

A Message from the<br />

Rabbi...<br />

In the Torah, there is a passage that many<br />

people gloss over, yet it is of great<br />

importance.<br />

The Israelites will soon be entering the land<br />

of Israel after their long journey through the<br />

wilderness. All of the people know that the<br />

going won’t be easy and that much fighting and struggle lay ahead.<br />

Nevertheless, two of the tribes – Gad and Reuven – approach Moses<br />

stating their desire to settle on the land east of the Jordan River rather<br />

than enter the land of Israel when the time comes to do so.<br />

Moses makes the following statement – one that echoes down through<br />

the millennium to us today. He asked the tribes of Gad and Reuven,<br />

“Ha’achei’hem ya’vo’u la’milchama v’atem taishvu po? Shall your brothers<br />

go to war while you sit here?”<br />

Moses is telling them that there are times when you simply have to get<br />

involved. When sitting by the sidelines is not an option.<br />

This is just such a time.<br />

Israel is currently facing severe challenges. Hezbollah in the north – with<br />

the assistance of Iran and Syria – continues to arm itself with missiles<br />

capable of hitting Tel Aviv. In the south, Hamas denies Israel’s right to<br />

exist even as it smuggles weapons and missiles into Gaza. And in the<br />

east, Iran remains committed to arming itself with nuclear weapons.<br />

Make no mistake about it; these threats present a real and present<br />

danger to the very survival of the State of Israel. Knowing this, how can<br />

we sit comfortably by while our brothers and sisters in Israel face this<br />

challenge by themselves?<br />

With this in mind, I invite you to join me at the next AIPAC Policy<br />

Conference. Held from May 22-24, 2011 in Washington, D.C., you’ll join<br />

over 8,000 other people from around the country and around the<br />

world that are united in their support of Israel.<br />

You’ll be at dinner with over half of the US Congress and Senate in<br />

attendance. You’ll listen to great, high-level speakers. (This past<br />

Conference featured Hillary Clinton, Tony Blair and Benjamin<br />

Netanyahu.) You’ll have the opportunity to enrich your knowledge of<br />

the issues facing Israel through a vast number of fascinating workshops.<br />

And you’ll go to Capitol Hill with thousands of others to lobby on<br />

behalf of Israel.<br />

America has always been Israel’s best friend. But we cannot and must<br />

not take this for granted.<br />

I invite you therefore to plan on joining me and other members of<br />

Temple Emanu-El at next year’s AIPAC Policy Conference. Save the date<br />

and start setting aside the funds you’ll need to attend. This past year, 12<br />

of our congregants joined me. Next year, I hope you will help increase<br />

that number by attending this important event with us.<br />

Israel’s enemies are not resting. Neither can we.<br />

Kehillah Kedoshah<br />

A Holy Community one dedicated to Torah<br />

(Jewish Learning), Avodah (Prayer and Spiritual<br />

Growth), and Gimilut Hasadim (Personal<br />

Kindness, Community and Social Action).<br />

Fully egalitarian, we believe that<br />

engaging in the core values of our<br />

Jewish tradition will impact the way we live,<br />

think and act, and will serve as a catalyst for<br />

real change in us and in the world we all share.<br />

“Shir Shabbat”<br />

Warm & Welcoming!<br />

SHIR SHABBAT is Temple Emanu El of Palm<br />

Beach’s new Friday Evening Shabbat Service.<br />

Translated from the Hebrew it means ‘The Song<br />

of Shabbat,” and it truly lives up to its name.<br />

SHIR SHABBAT has been designed to be almost<br />

completely congregational in nature. That means<br />

that everyone together sings just about every<br />

prayer and song. Delicious, easy to sing<br />

melodies, a hauntingly graceful piano score, and<br />

full English transliterations of the entire Hebrew<br />

text guarantees that everyone will be able to<br />

participate and enjoy the Service.<br />

SHIR SHABBAT is designed for people seeking a<br />

prayer experience that is moving, easy to follow and<br />

easy to understand. It is beautiful, traditional in many<br />

ways, yet instantly accessible regardless of a person’s<br />

background or Hebrew skills. At SHIR SHABBAT<br />

everyone will instantly feel at home.<br />

Inter faith Couples are warmly welcomed.<br />

SUMMER SCHEDULE<br />

Starting on Friday, May 21, 2010<br />

Shir Shabbat will begin at 6:00 pm<br />

From the<br />

President’s Desk...<br />

It’s hard to believe that this issue marks the<br />

end of my third year as president of Temple<br />

Emanu-El. I am proud of how far we have<br />

come as a congregation and look forward to<br />

working with our Board of Trustees on a number of projects during<br />

my last year in office. Let me share a few of these with you.<br />

We are currently advertising for a Youth and Family Programming<br />

Director who will, additionally, help Rabbi Resnick direct our<br />

growing religious school. Creating and administering interesting and<br />

exciting programs for our youth and families is absolutely essential if<br />

we are to ensure success as a multi-generational congregation.<br />

Continuing and improving our Adult Education programming is<br />

equally important for our congregation. Expanding joint<br />

programming opportunities with other organizations in our<br />

community is cost effective and will allow us to maximize our ability<br />

to attract innovative and educational speakers throughout the year.<br />

The Adult Education Committee, chaired by Vivienne Ivry, is already<br />

hard at work on next year’s programming and welcomes the input<br />

of all congregants.<br />

Creating an Honorary Advisory Board at Temple Emanu-El is a long<br />

overdue project. We envision this Honorary Advisory Board getting<br />

together a few times a year with our officers, trustees and clergy.<br />

Since one of our congregation’s greatest assets is the wealth of<br />

knowledge and experience in our membership, creating this new<br />

group will allow our Board of Trustees to tap into a vast pool of<br />

experience and wisdom while also honoring those who have been<br />

most generous to our congregation.<br />

One of our biggest challenges continues to be recruitment of<br />

volunteers for our synagogue committees. Next year we hope to<br />

more effectively communicate scheduled committee meetings in<br />

order to encourage participation by a greater number of our<br />

members. With just a few exceptions (Budget & Finance, Nominating<br />

and Executive), all committees are open to all of our members.<br />

Effective work on a synagogue committee should be recognized as a<br />

stepping- stone to appointment to the Board of Trustees and<br />

interested members are strongly encouraged to serve.<br />

Speaking of committees, an effective Membership Committee is truly<br />

essential to the growth and continued success of our congregation<br />

and an area where we have been somewhat deficient. With close to<br />

90% of Palm Beach County’s Jewish residents unaffiliated with a<br />

synagogue, there is great potential for new members. Additionally,<br />

this committee’s responsibility should include recognition of existing<br />

members. I have briefly spoken with Mickey Feldberg and plan to<br />

request that our Women’s League consider adopting the work of<br />

this crucial committee as a “project.” If we can enlist the energy,<br />

talent and organizational skills of our Women’s League to address<br />

this crucial issue, our synagogue will surely benefit.<br />

The 50 th anniversary of the founding of Temple Emanu-El of Palm<br />

Beach is rapidly approaching. A committee will be formed to address<br />

the many aspects involved in properly celebrating this momentous<br />

occasion. Our House Committee, chaired by Chuck Toll, is already<br />

working on a preliminary proposal that involves the renovation of<br />

certain areas of our building in anticipation of the 2013 anniversary<br />

year. A campaign plan to raise the funds for these necessary<br />

improvements, as well as creating an endowment in honor of the<br />

50 th anniversary of our congregation, will be formulated and<br />

implemented.<br />

These are just a few of the exciting things in store for next year.<br />

Again, each of our congregational committees welcomes the input<br />

and participation of all members of our congregation. Even if you<br />

only have limited time to devote to a project or committee, your<br />

service will be appreciated.<br />

Before I close, I want to personally thank two very dedicated<br />

individuals who have worked long and hard for the benefit of Temple<br />

Emanu-El.<br />

This is Donna Kramer’s last issue as editor of Kol Emanu-El. Donna<br />

has a long history of outstanding volunteer work on behalf of our<br />

congregation. Donna brought exacting standards of excellence to<br />

each of the many positions she has held and has set a high standard<br />

for others to emulate in the future. After so many years of dedicated<br />

service, it is time for Donna to enjoy a well-deserved rest.<br />

Departing after publication of this issue is our long time secretary<br />

and graphics editor, Rhona Barnum. After nine years at Temple<br />

Emanu-El, Rhona is moving back to upstate New York to be closer<br />

to her family. Working with Donna Kramer, Rhona has contributed<br />

immensely toward making Kol Emanu-El the award-winning<br />

publication that it is. Among her many other duties, Rhona has<br />

served as the office historian and as my secretary and, in that latter<br />

role, has the distinction of being among the very few who can<br />

interpret my almost unintelligible handwriting. She will certainly be<br />

missed by all of us at Temple Emanu-El.<br />

My best wishes for a wonderful summer to all of you and I look<br />

forward to welcoming you back in the fall.<br />

PRESIDENT<br />

MICKEY FELDBERG<br />

Women’s League<br />

Women’s League Annual Report as<br />

presented at Temple Emanu-El’s Annual<br />

Meeting<br />

This has been a banner year for Women’s<br />

League with a very participatory Board<br />

and active committees resulting in<br />

increased membership.<br />

The Membership Committee contacted every new Temple member<br />

and worked to retain lapsed members. An elegant luncheon in the<br />

Temple for paid up members in December and an intimate home<br />

luncheon for new members helped foster the sense of camaraderie<br />

that typifies Women’s League. “Meet and Greet” was always the<br />

order of the day during Shabbat services. And the Corresponding<br />

Secretary was ever-ready to send a hand written note for simchas<br />

and sorrows. To date there are 170 members.<br />

The Program Committee planned thoughtful, evocative events that<br />

attracted men as well as women. Attendance reached record highs.<br />

Every general and Board meeting started with a D’var Torah<br />

pertinent to the day.<br />

We have had excellent publicity, particularly in the Shiny Sheet. A<br />

major article about the Judaica Shop increased community<br />

awareness that ours is the only source of Judaica in the area.<br />

The Torah Fund campaign was successful once again culminating in a<br />

Luncheon in March honoring two stalwarts of our synagogue – Sybil<br />

Sanders and Anita Sigel.<br />

Women’s League’s donation to Temple Emanu-El amounted to<br />

$15,000. This amount includes revenues from the Silent Auction,<br />

contributions to the Concert and Torah dedication, Shabbaton<br />

Kiddush, the cost of advertising for the concert in the Shiny Sheet<br />

and all expenses for the Torah Table cover.<br />

Our commitment to serving the youth of our community sent one<br />

teen-ager to the regional USY conference. And 22 college students<br />

each received 4 gift packages during the year for Rosh Hashanah,<br />

Hanukkah, Purim and Pesach in an effort to keep them connected to<br />

Jewish life and our synagogue amounting to an expenditure of<br />

approximately $1000.<br />

In addition to our dedication to Temple Emanu-El we have extended<br />

our concern for those less fortunate in the surrounding community.<br />

We have collected groceries for the JF&CS food bank. We have a<br />

representative on Kolot, a committee of JF&CS to prevent domestic<br />

abuse. And we have toured the JF&CS residences for challenged<br />

adults to get a better idea of those special people and their needs.<br />

We are ever concerned about Israel’s welfare as well. The Board<br />

members contribute tzedakah at each meeting. This year’s collection<br />

was donated to Hazon Yeshayah, a food bank and training facility that<br />

serves more than 5000 needy people. We also have written letters<br />

concerning women wearing tallesim at the Kotel and the laws<br />

regarding marriages by Masorti rabbis and conversion.<br />

Finally, we have revised our by-laws to keep up with the times.<br />

The major change is to offer membership to non-Jewish spouses<br />

of Temple members in accordance with national WLCJ By-laws.<br />

The highlight of the season was the installation of Officers and<br />

Board of Directors at the Women’s League Shabbaton April 9<br />

and 10. 45 women participated in the services.<br />

College Connection<br />

Gift packages are sent to our college<br />

students four times a year, High Holy<br />

Days, Hanukah, Purim and Passover.<br />

If you would like your son or<br />

daughter to receive a package and<br />

keep them connected with Temple<br />

Emanu El, please contact Sandi<br />

Gladding by email at<br />

slg759@comcast.net.<br />

A Thank You Letter to Women’s League<br />

Dear Women's League of Temple Emanu-El,<br />

I would like to thank you for the Passover gift I received as<br />

well as all of the other gifts that I receive throughout the<br />

year. College environments are not always conducive<br />

atmospheres to keep the mitzvot and celebrate all of the<br />

holidays. But when I go to my mailbox and pull out a box<br />

from the Women's League, I feel like I have a piece of home<br />

and a piece of my shul that I can take with me. From the<br />

dreidels and gelt, to the hamentaschen and masks, to the<br />

bag of plagues (which I possibly had too much fun with)<br />

these gifts have been truly meaningful. You can be sure I<br />

have put the Barnes and Noble gift cards to good use as<br />

well. Thank you again, Temple Emanu-El's Women's League.<br />

These gifts really make a difference.<br />

Love,<br />

Sam Rotenberg<br />

D’var Torah<br />

It’s never too late to begin studying<br />

Torah…<br />

Shavuot is the holiday that<br />

commemorates the giving of the Torah to<br />

the Jewish People on Mt. Sinai.<br />

While the giving of the Torah was<br />

important, even more vital was our<br />

receiving of it! The Torah was given once.<br />

The receiving of it needs to be a daily<br />

occurrence.<br />

Thankfully, it is never too late to start, as<br />

the following passage from the Talmud illustrates, there is no sin<br />

associated with not having learned Torah. Whenever we begin is<br />

considered the right time!<br />

Rabbi Mesharshiah said in the name of Rabbi Edah," In all [other]<br />

cases of the sacrifices it is written ' a he-goat for a sin offering', but<br />

in the case of Shavuot 'for a sin offering' is not written.<br />

The Holy One Blessed Be He said to the People of Israel, 'Since<br />

you have accepted upon yourselves the yoke of Torah [on the holiday<br />

of Shavuot] I consider it as if you never sinned in your lives.”<br />

David Dolgin<br />

May 8, 2010 / 24 Iyar 5770<br />

David Dolgin was born in<br />

Jerusalem, Israel on May 26,<br />

1997. As the grandson of the<br />

late Rabbi Simon A. Dolgin,<br />

David has been immersed in<br />

Judaism from his early years<br />

having attended the JCC<br />

preschool and the Arthur I.<br />

Meyer Jewish Academy from<br />

kindergarten. Now a 7 th grader<br />

at Meyer, David is on the<br />

school’s football, basketball, and<br />

tennis teams as well as a<br />

member of the yearbook staff.<br />

David enjoys singing and playing the drums. He is a member<br />

of the Palm Beach Principle Players and just concluded his<br />

first show as a cast member of Bye Bye Birdie. For his<br />

Mitzvah Project, David is working with the professionals of<br />

the AJFCS to create a collaborative Shabbat program for<br />

residents of the adult group home. David will also be<br />

donating a portion of his Bar Mitzvah money to the group<br />

home to purchase Judaic items residents may need. David is<br />

happy to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah with his parents<br />

Deborah Dolgin and Jess Dolgin, his sister Daniella, brother<br />

Jonathan, his friends and other family members.<br />

Dorit Bodnick<br />

May 15, 2010 / 2 Sivan 5770<br />

Dorit Bodnick, daughter of Julie &<br />

Jason, will become a Bat Mitzvah at<br />

Temple Emanuel on Saturday, May<br />

15 th , 2010. She is an honor student<br />

at the Arthur I. Meyer Jewish<br />

Academy in West Palm Beach. For<br />

Dorit's Mitzvah Project, she has<br />

volunteered to participate in the<br />

AYSO VIP Soccer program for<br />

mentally and physically disabled<br />

kids. For 10 weeks, Dorit will be<br />

paired with a disabled child who<br />

otherwise would not have an<br />

opportunity to play soccer. These<br />

children play with wheelchairs, walkers and other assistive<br />

devices with the aid of their buddy. In her spare time, Dorit<br />

enjoys tennis, dance, soccer and painting.


Tikkun Olam Repairing the World<br />

UNSUNG HEROES AT TEMPLE EMANU-EL<br />

This series features members whose volunteer efforts behind the<br />

scenes at Temple Emanu-El embody the ideals of Tikkun Olam –<br />

Repairing the World. In this case our nominees are doing good<br />

deeds within our own Temple Emanu-El family.<br />

She has a passion for<br />

volunteerism and he has<br />

a lifelong passion for<br />

music. Meet<br />

MARYLOU AND<br />

HERB GRAY of<br />

Boston and Palm<br />

Beach, members since<br />

1999, genuinely nice<br />

people who have made<br />

an impact on everyone<br />

involved in the<br />

administration of Temple<br />

Emanu-El and on those members they have befriended at our<br />

synagogue.<br />

Marylou is a registered nurse whose Temple volunteer work began<br />

as an outgrowth of her participation in the 2003 Bat Mitzvah class.<br />

Hadar Mehl, President of Women’s League at the time, asked<br />

Marylou to serve on the Women’s League Board which then led<br />

Marylou to a 4-year stint as Vice President/Treasurer. During her<br />

time on the Women’s League Board Marylou began helping out in<br />

the Temple’s office. Now that she is no longer a Women’s League<br />

Board member she continues to devote volunteer time in our<br />

synagogue office, helping with special mailings or answering the<br />

phone when a staff secretary is out sick. This year Marylou chaired<br />

the very successful Women’s League Torah Fund Luncheon and<br />

worked on the Annual Musical Concert Fundraiser yet she still<br />

continues to find time to help out in the office. David Schreier,<br />

Synagogue Administrator, says of Marylou that “she’s the best…very<br />

willing to come in whenever they call!”<br />

Outside of Temple Emanu-El Marylou is active with the Peggy<br />

Adams Animal Rescue League training rescue dogs to be more<br />

adoptable. This registered nurse also works once a week at Good<br />

Samaritan Hospital in the patient day surgery division. Her<br />

volunteerism continues when she is home in Boston…but our part<br />

is just to tell the Palm Beach story.<br />

Herb (a pharmacist) has been playing the accordion since he was a<br />

little boy growing up in Dorchester, MA. He is an amazing musician<br />

who took lessons for only 1 year yet at the age of 14 was playing<br />

musical sets with a popular trio known as the “Tad Trio” all over<br />

Massachusetts! Nowadays, Herb plays a very special accordion<br />

made for him in Italy, one that has a computer component. Herb’s<br />

gigs during the winter season are as a volunteer musician here at<br />

Temple Emanu-El and during the summer and fall months at the<br />

Hebrew Rehab Hospital in Roxbury, MA and the Jewish Housing for<br />

the Elderly in Brighton, MA while in residence in Boston. Herb,<br />

the pharmacist, also volunteers his services twice a week in the<br />

pharmacy at Good Samaritan Hospital.<br />

Continued top of next column<br />

At Temple Emanu-El we were joyfully entertained by Herb’s<br />

musical prowess at the recent Langfan Torah Dedication and<br />

we have enjoyed Herb’s performances at our annual Purim<br />

Carnivals.<br />

Herb plays (and loves) many types of music: Klezmer, Yiddish,<br />

Hebrew, Show Tunes, Big-Band Sounds, all very upbeat music.<br />

Herb loves to perform and to share his lively musical talent<br />

with the Temple Emanu-El family. We are most grateful for all<br />

of his contributions to the enjoyment of our congregation.<br />

Thank you to Marylou and Herb Gray for giving so willingly<br />

to the betterment of Temple Emanu-El of Palm Beach.<br />

Kosher Food<br />

Pantry<br />

The Alpert Jewish Family &<br />

Children’s Service maintains a<br />

food pantry for clients in<br />

need: the chronically ill, frail<br />

seniors, new immigrants, and<br />

people of all ages who live<br />

below the poverty line.<br />

Please help with this Mitzvah by bringing kosher food<br />

items to the synagogue with current usage dates stamped<br />

on the cans and packages and deposit them in either of<br />

two baskets located in front of the office and the<br />

sanctuary. Thank you!<br />

Growing up isn’t easy. Growing up<br />

in a single parent family can make<br />

it even tougher. Since 1998,<br />

Mentoring 4 Kids, a free<br />

program for children 6 - 15 years old, has been offered<br />

at Alpert Jewish Family & Children’s Service in West<br />

Palm Beach. We serve people of all faiths, matching<br />

caring adult volunteers with children needing a positive<br />

role model in their lives. Most of our children have lost<br />

a caregiver through death or divorce. By providing<br />

caring adult “pals” of the same gender with similar<br />

interests, we hope to provide another positive role<br />

model for the child. Together, the mentor and “pal”<br />

enjoy fun activities for a few hours twice a month for at<br />

least one year. Mentors must be at least 25 years old.<br />

Before any match is made, both the potential volunteer<br />

and the child and his/her family are thoroughly<br />

screened. Following the match, training and ongoing<br />

support are provided.<br />

If you are interested in becoming a mentor or if you<br />

have a child who would love to have a “pal” in his or her<br />

life, please contact Karen Cohen, MSW, Program<br />

Director at 561.238.0285 or kcohen@jfcsonline.com<br />

or Peggy Kroll, MJEd, Outreach Coordinator<br />

at 561.238.0281 pkroll@jfcsonline.com<br />

Treasures of the Temple:<br />

Season Two<br />

The stained glass windows that<br />

beautify Temple Emanu-El’s Resnick<br />

Sanctuary have a history that spans four decades, and a<br />

number of major renovations of our Temple. They are<br />

constructed of gorgeous stained glass. Some illustrate<br />

stories from our Bible, others give us views of Jerusalem. A<br />

number of them have been moved from original sites as<br />

we developed and grew. We now are able to identify these<br />

windows, their meaning, the original sites, and how they<br />

beautify our House of Worship.<br />

This season we succeeded in identifying and describing<br />

all the stained glass windows in our buildings. They were<br />

commissioned for various stages of our growth, and came<br />

to us from different glass studios, all over the country. We<br />

have published a Docent Guide for the windows in the<br />

Resnick Sanctuary, and a similar guide for the Levin Social<br />

Hall is in progress.<br />

We hosted docent-led tours of the Resnick Sanctuary, a<br />

special tour of Passover Windows, a tour of Block<br />

Windows, and a mystery tour of the Levin Social Hall’s<br />

windows that could be seen on two floors, or only from<br />

the exterior of the building. Most of the tours were for<br />

our congregants and a few were for outside groups who<br />

sought us out for special programs.<br />

Congratulations to those members of the Temple who<br />

were part of the accomplishments of the Treasures of the<br />

Temple Project. Hadar Mehl, Carmela Kalmanson, Diane<br />

Toll, Arlene Kurtis, Hope Cramer, Vivienne Ivry, Anita Sigel,<br />
