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 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 />

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 />

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 />
