Elul 5769,Tishri , Heshvan 5770 September/October 2009 VOLUME 120
I start with a well known tale.
Meyer, a lonely widower, was
walking home along Delancy
Street one day wishing something
wonderful would happen into his
life when he passed a pet store and
heard a squawking voice shouting
out in Yiddish. ―Vus macht du…
yeah, du…outside, standing like a
putzeleh?‖ Meyer rubbed his eyes
and ears. He couldn‘t believe it.
The proprietor sprang out of the
door and grabbed Meyer by the sleeve. ―Come in here,
fella, and check out this parrot!‖ Meyer stood in front
of a bird that cocked his little head and said: ―Vus?
Kenst reddin Yiddish?‖ Meyer turned excitedly to the
store owner. ―He speaks Yiddish?‖ ―Vuh den? Chinese
maybe?‖ In a matter of moments, Meyer had
placed five hundred dollars down on the counter and
carried the parrot away with him. All night he talked
with the parrot. In Yiddish. He told the parrot about
his adventures coming to America. They shared some
walnuts. The parrot told him of living in the pet store.
More walnuts. They both went to sleep. Next morning,
Meyer began to put on his tallit all the while saying
his prayers. The parrot demanded to know what he
was doing and when Meyer explained, the parrot demanded
to learn. So he went out and hand-made a
miniature tallit for the bird, a kippah even, and taught
him every prayer, how to read Hebrew, and taught him
Torah.
One morning, on Rosh Hashanah, Meyer rose and got
dressed and was about to leave when the parrot demanded
to go with him. Meyer explained that the Shul
was not a place for a bird, but the bird made a terrific
argument and so he took him to shul on his shoulder.
They made quite the spectacle. Everyone questioned
him, including the rabbi and cantor. They refused to
allow a bird into the shul on the Holy Days. But
Meyer swore the bird could daven and ultimately they
relented. Wagers were made with Meyer. Thousands
of dollars were bet that the parrot could not daven,
speak Yiddish or Hebrew. All eyes were on the parrot
during services. As the prayers and songs went by, not
one peep from the bird. Meyer began to become annoyed.
―Daven!‖ Nothing. ―Daven parrot, you can
daven, so daven! Everybody‘s looking!‖ Nothing.
After Rosh Hashanah services were concluded, Meyer
found that he owed his shul and his friends some four
thousand dollars. He left the shul fit to be tied. Several
blocks from the shul, the bird began to sing an old
Yiddish song, happy as a lark. Flabbergasted, Meyer
stopped and looked at him. ―You miserable bird! You
cost me over four thousand dollars. Why? After I
made you a tallit and a kippah, and taught you the
prayers and how to read Hebrew and the Torah! And
after you begged me to bring you to Shul on today of
all days, why?‖ (continued on page 2)
Dear Friends,
As we move into the fall, the
High Holy Day season reminds
us of the need for introspection
and retrospection. In the same
way that we all look back on
the past year and see what we
can improve upon personally,
your Board of Trustees is doing
the same thing at an administrative
level.
As I mentioned in my last message to you, we were
able to reach and surpass some of the goals that were
set last year, but others fell short. Our Board had a
retreat on August 30th to go over those areas that
need some extra work, we added new goals to the
list and come up with new and exciting ways to be
successful on all fronts. In addition to the Board retreat,
we will also be attending a leadership workshop
in September, put together by our own Leadership
Development Committee. This workshop will
help us develop our leadership skills to better serve
the congregation. As always, I will keep you updated
on our progress!
To start 5770 off with a bang, we have so many activities
coming up! Our fabulous Clergy and our Religious
Practices Committee have been working diligently
to make the High Holy Days very meaningful
for all. Watch for innovations within the services
designed to enhance our worship! Selichot will start
off our Holy season with a concert by many of our
talented congregants, followed by Selichot services.
After Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we‘ll meet
again for a wonderful Sukkot celebration, followed
by an amazing Simchat Torah service. If you missed
it last year, you‘ll want to make sure to be there this
year as the Torah scrolls are unrolled around the
sanctuary and we continue our Torah reading from
Deuteronomy back to Genesis! Our wonderful Simchat
Shabbat band will be on hand that evening to
add to the fun.

Rabbi’s Message continued from page 1
―Don‘t be so upset already,‖ the parrot replied. ―Think of the odds on Yom Kippur!‖
The High Holy Days ahead of us are utilized for many things; although hopefully not for wagers. For many
they represent an exceptionally meaningful opportunity for cleansing and renewal, for a reaffirmation of faith
and for a reconnecting to people and tradition. For others, the Days are approached with ambivalence to
words and traditions distant from our lives and serve to further flame the personal struggle of spiritualism,
identity and faith.
While one may hope to attain the former, the latter should not be undervalued. Both are important along the
continuum of life. One must learn to walk before one learns to run, yet there is no less merit in a slow and
meditative hike than in a fast and spirited mile run. Walking or running, it is required that we approach these
Days, with all of their themes and traditions and liturgical idiosyncrasies, with open hearts and minds. Guaranteed,
what today seems meaningful will in time seem not so, and what this year seems irrelevant will next
year, or perhaps in ten or twenty, prove more meaningful than can be imagined.
In my day, I have gone on many a backcountry adventure. Inevitably there are times when the hiking is difficult
and distasteful and times when the hiking is glorious and inspiring. Yet time spent in expedition always
provides much to learn regardless of the difficulty or the inspiration. Metaphorically, the Holy Days allow us
the opportunity to stop, take off our packs - right where we are - and consider our journey. Perhaps, this year
you will use these Days to soak in the vistas and sunshine surrounding you. Perhaps this year, you will use
them to appreciate the difficulty amid the downpour and the aches. Each is valuable in its season, and since
none of us walk exactly the same journey, we are seldom ever at the same place at the same time. There is a
season for every purpose and a time for every way-point along the journey of our lives. The key, no matter
where we are along our way, is to make the most of these moments while we have the breath to take, until our
journey takes up again.
On behalf of Adrienne, our family and myself, we pray you and your loved ones a year of discovery, hope
and peace.
Faithfully, David

having attended Avoim, Ganon Gil and Mosad Shalom.
She is currently an eighth grade GATE student
at Twin Peaks Middle School, where her favorite
subjects are science and band. Her real passion,
as all her friends (and neighbors) know, is percussion.

and has been recruited as a middle-schooler
to play percussion in the Poway High School Emarald
Brigade Marching Band. She is also an accomplished
clarinet player. Samantha is looking forward
to sharing this day with her older sister Haley,

High Holy Day Prayer Books
It is customary that our members bring
their own prayer books to High Holy Day
services. It is necessary that each congregant
have his or her own book. If you do
not have Avot v’Imahot prayer book stickers
in your prayer books, you may pick them up
at the Temple office. You may also purchase
Gates of Repentance in advance at the Temple
office for a cost of $25 each.
In our use of The Gates of Repentance
during our TAS High Holy Day worship, you
may have observed variations in the text. The
newer editions differ in the gender sensitive
features. Please understand that there is
nothing we can do about these differences
between the older and newer editing and
please feel free to contact our clergy with
your questions. Please note that we use the
newer edition from the pulpit.
Yizkor Services Reminder

At Temple Adat Shalom, we observe Yizkor
Memorial Services four times during
the year - on Yom Kippur, Simchat Torah,
Pesach and Shavuot.
In keeping with Reform tradition, our congregation
observes Yizkor during Yom
Kippur afternoon services on Monday, September
28 at 3:30 p.m. and during our Simchat
Torah services on Saturday, October
21 at 10:00 a.m.

at the Temple Office.
Cost is $90 per ticket for family members.
Absences From School For The
High Holy Days
Absences from school for the High Holy
Days are considered excused absences for
internal purposes by the Poway Unified
School District. This means that students
will not be penalized for attendance awards
or academic honors when absent from school
for the High Holy Days. A formal letter
should be written to the school explaining the
absence. A sample letter is available on the
Temple website, www.adatshalom.com. If
you have questions regarding this matter,
please feel free to contact the Temple office.
Dues Update
If you have not yet made arrangements to
pay your 2009/10 dues, please contact Debbie
Savitzky immediately. High Holy Day
tickets will only be sent to those members in
good standing. Please call Debbie or Jane
Sable-Friedman if you have any questions or
concerns about your bill.
Parking
We encourage you to come early and carpool
if possible. Additional parking will be available
on Yom Kippur morning at St. Bart‘s
church North on Pomerado Road. Shuttle
will be available from 9:45 am on Yom Kippur
morning. Once the services begin we ask
that you proceed to the South Social Hall entrance.

FROM THE BOARD
Minutes from the June Meeting
New members of the Board of Trustees were introduced.
Gail Littman made a Powerpoint presentation on
fundraising and also reported that an anonymous donor
has offered to underwrite Board members‘ trips to the
URJ Biennial in November if those members have not
made a previous financial contribution to the URJ.
All TAS committees will be required to submit the
new Event Information Request Form to the Executive
Committee prior to any scheduled fundraising events
regardless of whether funding outlays from TAS are
being requested.
The timeline for TAS staff evaluations will be coordinated
with future staff contract negotiations.
An Operations Review committee is being formed to
audit TAS financial transactions on a periodic basis to
ensure transparency and accuracy. The TAS By-laws
will be reviewed in 2010 and the Archive Committee
has also been reformed.
The BOT passed a resolution to repay the cemetery
loan at such time that we have a surplus in net income,
not to exceed 10% of that surplus. The Board also
passed a motion to approve a new logo for TAS.
All b‘nai mitzvah students will receive a copy
of the Mishkan Tefillah, embossed with their name, as
an additional gift from TAS at the time of their ceremony.

Did you enter Judaism
as an adult?
Would you like to share the joy
and help to guide the Jewish
journey of another?
Temple Adat Shalom‘s Outreach Committee
is looking for Mentors to reach out to
individuals who have newly joined or
soon will join the Jewish People. It‘s a
way to share your experiences, lend your
insights, and provide a caring hand.
All that is required is an open heart and
the gift of friendship. Working with the
Rabbi, we‘ll provide any guidance you
need.
Please e-mail the Rabbi at
rabbic @adatshalom.com if you would
like to share in this mitzvah.
An initial meeting for TAS Mentors is
scheduled for Monday, October 26 at 6:30
pm in the library at the temple.
BOARD MEMBER IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Two years ago I moved out to San Diego to be near my three daughters, one of whom was
expecting my first grandchild. At that time I knew no one else in Southern California, but I
had strong roots in my former temple, the choir, and Hadassah. Today I have a beautiful 21
month old granddaughter, am active in the TAS choir, and am your new Membership Cochair,
along with the fabulous Keith Liker. I have lived on both coasts, twice, and in nine
cities, so I know what a challenge it can be to get settled into a new community. One thing I
learned along the way is how important it is to jump into ―the deep end‖, to get active in
your community; it is the only way to meet people and make friends. And I hope to use
those experiences on Membership to help our temple be known as the friendliest schul in San Diego.
Wherever I have lived, I have always been a member of a temple, even when my children were grown
and I was living away from them as a single. For me, temple membership has always been about much more than
just educating my children, though that is certainly important. The temple is the heart of our Jewish community,
where we come for friendship, for solace, for education, and for shared experiences. I have always gotten more
out of my activities than I think I have given. One of my focuses this year is to reach out to unaffiliated singles in
the North County, especially those over 40. If you have single friends who have never felt comfortable coming to
services alone, please let them know we welcome them here. The second Friday night service of the month is Single‘s
Shabbat when Singles are especially invited to Shabbat Services.
While Keith and I are the chairs of this committee, we both strongly believe that every temple member is
critical to our efforts to add and retain members. You are the heart and soul of our congregation and I invite each
and every one of you to join us as we reach out to people who have not had the opportunity to experience the
warmth and friendship of Temple Adat Shalom. I am counting on all of you to help us grow the TAS family and
look forward to getting to know all of you as good friends.
L‘Shalom, Carol Gendel

Sept—Oct 2009
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
A New Year of Learning and Fun
As summer camp has come to a close, many happy memories remain in the minds of our campers.
The children of Camp Kayetz cooked and splashed and danced and sang and much more. There
were ―scary‖ stories told in a real tent, a visit with a very special therapy dog named Bear, some lovely
celebrations of Shabbat in the courtyard with Rabbi David, an old fashioned cook out, a chance to sit in
the driver‘s seat of a big Poway Fire Department truck, a home grown salad made exclusively from
freshly picked vegetables from our garden and best of all, the opportunity to spend time with friends.
The children were involved in the making of a number of Jewish foods, such as noodle kugel, matzo ball
soup and challah. They also prepared some other summer delights, such as fruit smoothies and red,
white and blue sandwiches for 4th of July. It was a great summer and we‘ll do it all over again next
summer, so see us in the spring if you would like your child to join in the excitement.
Looking ahead to the New Year, many wonderful events and activities are planned. Our intergenerational
music program with the Jewish Family Service Senior Program will continue. (This program
was actually written up in an article in the July Jewish Journal!) Along with making music, the
children will be doing some cooking projects with the seniors as well. This is such a unique and special
bond! We feel very fortunate to be able to offer this as part of our early childhood program.
Another important aspect of the preschool curriculum is the many ways we observe and celebrate
our Jewish heritage. Along with daily prayer, blessings and routine practice of mitzvot, the children
enjoy Judaic art, music, Hebrew, cooking and will be lead by Rabbi David almost every Friday for
Shabbat. Parents join their children for a number of holiday occasions. The children always enjoy seeing
Cantor Lori and Rabbi David as they help us to understand more about each experience throughout
the year.

MOSAD SHALOM RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
From the Desk of Susan Cohn, Education Director
Dear Mosad Shalom Parent:
I hope the summer provided you with opportunities for new knowledge through relaxed learning and
pleasure.
According to Professor Richard Nesbitt, in his recent book Intelligence and How to Get It
―Intelligence and academic achievement are very much under people‘s control.‖
Here are some items to consider:
Jews achieved complete male literacy – the better to read the Talmud – 1,700 years before
any other group.
One-quarter of Jewish adults in the US have earned a graduate degree, compared with 6 % of the
population as a whole.
Of all the Nobel Prizes in Science that have been awarded to Americans, one-third are Jewish
Americans.
Mosad Shalom Religious School is place of great diversity and opportunity. We are committed to enhancing
your child‘s intelligence; we are committed to enhancing your child‘s spiritual awareness and
we are committed to enhancing your child‘s moral development. We do this by providing outstanding
teachers, rigorous learning opportunities and a dynamic and exciting environment that will nurture our
student‘s innate abilities.
Now, as I begin my fifth year as Education Director of Mosad Shalom Religious School, I thank
you for your continuing support which has allowed us to reach new heights for our school. With your
help and God‘s, we will continue to climb even higher.
May the New Year of 5770 bring to all of us good health, much happiness and prosperity, and
Shalom. Best wishes for a sweet year. L‘Shana Tovah U‘Metuka.
