<strong>Happenings</strong> 2 September-October 2010
Dear Sisterhood Members,<br />
As your Co-Presidents for <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>Adat</strong><br />
<strong>Shalom</strong> Sisterhood, Lisa and I thank<br />
you for trusting us to lead you for the<br />
next two years. You now have your own<br />
“Laverne and Shirley”—not kidding—<br />
we are like that!<br />
We want to thank the stewardship of<br />
Lauren Milana, and all she has done<br />
for the Sisterhood. She has shown<br />
incredible passion and commitment.<br />
We look forward to her direction and<br />
mentorship.<br />
We also want to thank the other ladies<br />
of leadership, the past presidents of<br />
Sisterhood who have so generously<br />
volunteered their time to mentor<br />
us—specifically Janet Pollack, Lorraine<br />
Thall, Barbara Birenbaum, Peggy Locke,<br />
and Cathleen Sugarman.<br />
You may not know us, or know us well,<br />
so I want to share a little bit about our<br />
backgrounds that have led us to the<br />
occasion of our installation today.<br />
Lisa has a long history of involvement<br />
in temple and leadership. She was<br />
born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona,<br />
and moved here 21 years ago with her<br />
husband, Mark. She grew up with an<br />
example of Sisterhood leadership in<br />
her mother, who served many years as<br />
sisterhood president in their temple<br />
in Phoenix, and was involved in their<br />
local chapter of Hadassah. Lisa and<br />
Mark joined <strong>Adat</strong> <strong>Shalom</strong> some 10<br />
years ago when they enrolled their<br />
children in Ganon Gil. She also was<br />
the first president of the Hadassah<br />
Chapter of Professional Women. A<br />
few years ago, her family joined the<br />
“Yummy Havurah” (named for our love<br />
of the Yummy sushi restaurant where<br />
the ladies like to meet for planning<br />
sessions). Lisa and I met through the<br />
Havurah, and with the arm-twisting of<br />
Barbara Birenbaum, we both became<br />
active in Sisterhood. Lisa has held some<br />
leadership roles in the past few years and<br />
feels ready to take on the responsibility<br />
Presidents’ Message<br />
of the “big job”.<br />
I grew up here in San Diego, and am<br />
a product of <strong>Temple</strong> Emanu-El (that<br />
was before they had a building, and<br />
the temple still rented out Rolando<br />
Methodist Church). I was president<br />
of my youth group, and attended the<br />
Youth Leadership session at Camp Swig.<br />
I was very active in SCFTY throughout<br />
my high school years, I taught religious<br />
school at Beth Israel and <strong>Temple</strong><br />
Emanu-El, and worked as a Secretary at<br />
the Bureau of Jewish Education while in<br />
college at SDSU. After college, I moved<br />
to the Los Angeles area where I was<br />
involved in various Jewish groups and<br />
organizations (primarily to find a Jewish<br />
husband, well that didn’t work out—but<br />
still—all good!) I married in ‘95, had<br />
my daughter Gabby in 1996— she<br />
attended the Jewish Community Center<br />
pre-school in Santa Monica where I was<br />
on the Board of Directors. We moved to<br />
San Diego nine years ago, joined <strong>Adat</strong><br />
<strong>Shalom</strong>, and I enrolled my daughter<br />
in Mosad <strong>Shalom</strong>. After divorcing, I<br />
wanted to connect more to the Jewish<br />
community, so after meeting Barbara<br />
Birenbaum through our mutual love<br />
of Israeli dancing, I joined the Yummy<br />
Havurah. I made a good friend in Lisa<br />
through the Havurah, and one thing<br />
led to another.<br />
We are still working on our vision, but<br />
certainly that includes there being a<br />
place for all women in Sisterhood—<br />
the young, the old, the moms, and<br />
grandmoms. It should be a place that<br />
welcomes all, and a place where you find<br />
friendship and support. With your help,<br />
we hope to make it a place where you<br />
will feel connected and supported. We<br />
look forward to your suggestions and<br />
wisdom, your spirit, your hard work<br />
and your commitment. Feel assured that<br />
Lisa and I want to hear from you and<br />
will work to make this your sisterhood.<br />
Sisterhood does so much for our temple<br />
family through our commitment to<br />
youth, our commitment to community,<br />
our commitment to social action and<br />
our commitment to each other. In our<br />
temple, there are needs and concerns<br />
that may never had been focused on if<br />
we-as women-did not undertake them.<br />
The need for sisterhood is great.<br />
In our personal and daily lives, there<br />
are moments and relationships that can<br />
be lost in the daily blur of activity if<br />
we, as women, do not recognize them,<br />
value them, and encourage them. We<br />
know that sisterhood creates bonds that<br />
last a lifetime. We know how women<br />
laugh together, and share tears as well.<br />
We gather to tell our stories. We break<br />
bread and chocolate together. We go to<br />
homeless shelters together. We are part<br />
of sisterhood to heal the world and heal<br />
each other.<br />
Women turn to sisterhood for<br />
camaraderie and fun. We understand<br />
that relationships are key. Today we<br />
need each other more than ever. We<br />
need community because living in<br />
isolation in an imperfect world is just<br />
way too hard. Our collective power, the<br />
power of women together, the power of<br />
sisterhood, is unstoppable.<br />
Please join with Lisa and myself—we<br />
want you, we need you, we love you—<br />
in sisterhood.<br />
With gratitude we thank you for this<br />
great privilege to serve you.<br />
B’<strong>Shalom</strong>,<br />
Diane Singer and Lisa Avent<br />

Poway Interfaith Nights a Success<br />
TAS Sisterhood is very proud to have<br />
had representation from our membership<br />
this summer for two of the programs<br />
from the Poway Interfaith Team<br />
which were very well attended. On July<br />
29, we had Barbara Birenbaum and her<br />
group of Israeli dancers doing many Israeli<br />
dances for the Cultural Night held<br />
at the Poway Community Church. For<br />
the last two dances Barbara had audience<br />
participation and over 65 people<br />
got up to join in and enjoyed learning<br />
the beautiful Israeli dances. It was truly<br />
a labor of love and we thank Barbara for<br />
bringing this cultural program to the<br />
entire community.<br />
Then on August 19, we had Jacob Teal,<br />
son of Angelica and Marty Teal, as a<br />
Youth Panel representative from TAS<br />
participating with a panel of 12 teens in<br />
a very well-attended session on “Spirituality<br />
vs. Wealth”. Angelica, we were<br />
all very proud of your son Jacob, who<br />
will be entering UC Santa Cruz soon,<br />
and his representation of our <strong>Temple</strong>.<br />
He and the others on the Teen Panel<br />
brought so much thought and wisdom<br />
to the program.<br />

The Power of Partnership: WRJ and Abraham Geiger College<br />
By Walter Homolka, Rector, Abraham Geiger College<br />
In 1942, the Nazis closed the "Hochschule fuer die Wissenschaft des Judentums"<br />
in Berlin. It was the end of an era that had begun in 1836 with<br />
Abraham Geiger's call for the founding of a Jewish theological department<br />
at a German university. In 1870 Abraham Geiger had moved from Frankfurt<br />
to Berlin to become one of the founders of the first liberal rabbinical<br />
seminary. He taught there until his death in 1874. Later, Regina Jonas<br />
studied at the "Hochschule" in Berlin to become the first liberal woman<br />
rabbi ever in 1935.<br />
In Reform Judaism, women's lib had started with Abraham Geiger, a fervent advocate of co-education of girls and<br />
boys. Since 1837 Geiger had pushed for women's inclusion into the service and the introduction of confirmation<br />
predominantly to assure a celebration of the coming of age of Jewish youngsters in the spirit of equality. He<br />
himself could marry his wife Emily Oppenheim only in 1840 after an engagement period of almost seven years.<br />
The Frankfurt municipality at the time permitted two Jewish marriages per year only. It was in this situation of<br />
predicament that Geiger formulated his vision of equality and reform.<br />
