SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER <strong>2012</strong> vol. 139<br />

The Center for Reform Jewish Life<br />

San Diego, North County Inland, California<br />

Rabbi David Castiglione<br />

Perhaps among the most well known selections of the High Holy Day scripture<br />

reading, is the haftarah portion for Yom Kippur Afternoon. Not that the other haftarah<br />

selections, or the readings from Torah are any less worthy, but there is something about<br />

the story of Jonah, (Yonah) that seems to provide a break from the intensive day-long soul searching, the fast,<br />

the page counting, (the sermons) The story of Yonah, doesn’t present us with the moral and theological dilemma<br />

of Isaac’s binding. It doesn’t demand of us to wrestle between choosing blessing or curse. It doesn’t<br />

adjure us to behave in ways we may be too lax about. It doesn’t play upon our character in reference to empty<br />

ritual or indifference toward the poor. Yonah is simply a story, about another person, another time, long ago;<br />

a story, that for all of its fanciful characters, including the whale, is easy on the soul, like listening to a favorite<br />

parable or fable. And who among us does not indulge at least a little chuckle in adding our voice to the voice<br />

of the reader when reaching the last few words, “…and many cattle as well”<br />

Still, somewhere, in the hunger-induced stupor of the afternoon, we must allow that Yonah is there for<br />

a reason. It may seem like it has nothing to do with Yom Kippur, but those who included it must have had<br />

something in mind other than a respite from all that preceded it.<br />

And so the question, “Why Yonah” Although I cannot begin to cover all of the homilies and intricate<br />

reasonings of our sages of old in this article, perhaps I can attempt to give us a few things to ponder when, in<br />

but a couple of weeks, Yonah is read again.<br />

Why Yonah: Yonah was a Northern prophet, living in the 8th century BCE, and he is found among the<br />

minor prophets of the TaNaCh. He is the son of Amitai and therefore, literally translated, is the “Son of Truth.”<br />

He is also said to have been the boy brought back to life by Elijah (Eliyahu.) Eliyahu was one who constantly<br />

sought after truth and the justice it demanded and, according to Midrash and folklore, continues even to this<br />

day, searching out the truth of the human soul. Saved by Eliyahu, Yonah assumed many of Eliyahu’s traits.<br />

As a prophet, Yonah wasn’t much interested in repentance. Justice, based on hard truth was his game.<br />

He was also a very proud Israelite. When told to go to Nineveh, a Syrian enclave, barbaric in its day, and part<br />

of the conquering nation that now controlled the Israelites, Yonah balked; the Ninevites did not deserve the<br />

opportunity for repentance. Their truth dictated harsh justice. How would it look if Israel’s enemy should take<br />

up the offer to repent, while Israel continued to suffer Short term anyway, the Ninevites would out-t’shuvah<br />

his fellow countrymen. Nevertheless, God insists, and so Yonah flees rather than give in to God’s apparent lack<br />

of justice or, for that matter, take part in making his fellow Jews look bad.<br />

The Sailors: The seafarers were noble, but not very bright. Moreover, they were idolaters. Yet their<br />

willingness to trust in and honor our God over their own idols, added a bit of salt to Yonah’s wounded sense<br />

of pride and right. Even illiterate, seafaring idolaters could quit their ways and repent!<br />

The Whale: Actually, there is a lot of discussion as to just exactly what kind of creature swallowed<br />

the prophet, including suggestions that it was a great white shark. The exact Hebrew translation is simply,<br />

“Big Fish.” What is important is that God needed a device to give Yonah “quality time” to reconsider God’s<br />

order. Interestingly, the whale is often associated with wisdom- something, perhaps, God hoped Yonah would<br />

acquire after a brief time in the belly of insight and more God-like judgment. Ultimately, if not begrudgingly,<br />

Yonah acquiesces and travels to Nineveh to prophesy its doom forty days hence. Adding yet more salt to the<br />

wound, the Ninevites repent- that very first day- and God withdraws their punishment. Yonah, now entirely<br />

disgusted, leaves the city, takes a seat upon a hill, and watches to see what happens.<br />

The Gourd: The gourd is a creation of God, for which Yonah has no part in except to accept its shade.<br />

When it withers, God is able to ask whether Yonah is grieved for the gourd, implying, if you can grieve for<br />

MICHAEL<br />

SAMUEL<br />

EDEN<br />

Michael Alan Ross will be called to the Torah as B’nai Mitzvah with his twin brother on<br />

Saturday, <strong>September</strong> 1, <strong>2012</strong>. Michael is a student at Black Mountain Middle School. He<br />

began his religious education at <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>Adat</strong> <strong>Shalom</strong> at age two, when he attended<br />

Ganon Gil Preschool. Michael entered Mosad <strong>Shalom</strong> religious school at age five, where<br />

he has continued his Jewish education. Michael loves marine biology, and his passion is<br />

learning everything about sharks. He loves to read about marine life, and cares deeply<br />

about preserving our oceans. Michael has shared much of his passion and knowledge<br />

for marine life with family, friends, temple staff, and the campers he worked with. He<br />

has played baseball for six years, and enjoys many physical sports. Michael enjoys the<br />

beach, like the rest of the family, and loves spending summers going to the private<br />

beach on the Navy base on Coronado Island. Michael enjoys working with younger<br />

kids, and has participated in fundraising walks for the Friendship Circle programs that<br />

support kids with special needs. He volunteered to help at Camp Kayetz here at <strong>Adat</strong><br />

<strong>Shalom</strong> for the summer, assisting with the young campers. Michael and his brother are<br />

excited to share their special day and celebrate this occasion with family and friends.<br />

Samuel Jacob Ross will be called to the Torah as B’nai Mitzvah with his twin brother<br />

on Saturday, <strong>September</strong> 1, <strong>2012</strong>. Samuel is a student at Black Mountain Middle School.<br />

Samuel began his religious education at <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>Adat</strong> <strong>Shalom</strong> at age two, when he attended<br />

Ganon Gil Preschool. He entered Mosad <strong>Shalom</strong> religious school at age five,<br />

where he has continued his Jewish education. Samuel’s favorite subject is science,<br />

and he spends many hours reading about science, and experimenting. He loves sharing<br />

his passion about science with others, and has taught adults interesting scientific<br />

facts they didn’t know. Samuel enjoys figuring out how things work, and can take just<br />

about anything apart and put it back together. He began Karate lessons last year, and<br />

moved up three belts in less than a year. Samuel has spent many days at the beach<br />

with family and friends growing up, and loves going to Coronado. He enjoys working<br />

with younger kids, and has participated in fundraising walks for the Friendship Circle<br />

We celebrate Eden Birenbaum’s becoming Bat Mitzvah on <strong>October</strong> 13th with<br />

joy and cheer. She is an 8th grade AVID student at Black Mountain Middle<br />

School where she excels at math and science and enjoys the library more than<br />

the gym. A voracious reader since infancy, Eden devours book after book, and<br />

often re-reads her favorites. Camp Akiba every summer, TAS and youth group<br />

activities are among her favorites but she also plays soccer and likes to sing<br />

and dance. She loves to watch movies and snack on popcorn, is forever doing<br />

her nails and texting with her friends. Her love for volunteering at ICS and TAS<br />

demonstrate her strong character and caring spirit.<br />

ZACHARY<br />

Zack Brenner is an incoming 7th grader at Twin Peaks Middle School. Zack has a<br />

variety of interests. He acted in short films and commercials when he was five, earned<br />

a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, currently plays violin in the Twin Peaks Middle School<br />

orchestra, and has played tackle football in the Pop Warner League. He enjoys white<br />

water rafting and has participated in tall ship sailing to Catalina five times. Zack likes<br />

roller coasters, snorkeling, and plays video games including Xbox LIVE. He is currently<br />

taking guitar lessons. At the end of sixth grade, Zack received a special academic award<br />

from Twin Peaks for his grade point average. When he is not doing school homework,<br />

Hebrew school homework, practicing the violin, practicing the guitar, or reviewing<br />

the Torah in preparation for his Bar Mitzvah, you can find him reading. His interests<br />

range from novels to newspapers. Zack is an avid reader, and he is also a movie buff.<br />

Zack’s parents and his sister (Ariel, who also attends Mossad <strong>Shalom</strong> Hebrew school)<br />

are very proud of Zack’s hard work in preparing for his Bar Mitzvah. He will be called<br />

to the Torah on <strong>October</strong> 20th. Zack and his family hope that you will be able to join<br />

them as they celebrate this special event.<br />

<strong>2012</strong><br />

It has been traditional for many centuries for Jews to come together on a Saturday evening at least four days prior<br />

to Rosh Hashanah to begin the period of self-preparation for the great days to come. These penitential prayers are<br />

called Selichot (prayers for forgiveness). They are part of the effort to attune the human heart to the experience of<br />

the High Holy Days.<br />

“18 Voices Sing<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

A documentary, shown on public television, exploring the history, words, melody and the profound effect<br />

of the Kol Nidre prayer has had on countless generations of Jews throughout the world. Hear some of the<br />

finest cantorial voices sing amazing arrangements of the Kol Nidre. The film runs approximately 40 minutes<br />

and will be followed by a brief discussion led by Cantor Frank and Rabbi Castiglione.<br />

The Selichot service, led by Rabbi<br />

David Castiglione and Cantor Lori<br />

Frank, will begin at 9:00 p.m. in the<br />

Sanctuary.<br />

Congregants and members of the<br />

community are encouraged to stay and<br />

attend this uplifting worship service<br />

which will focus a part of the service<br />

on prayers of healing.<br />

It will include a personal blessing for<br />

healing from Rabbi and Cantor to those<br />

who would like to receive it.<br />

continued from page 1<br />

something you have had no part in making,<br />

how much more so should I grieve over My<br />

children’s approaching demise regardless if<br />

they’re Jewish, idolaters, or otherwise<br />

The Cattle: Aside from being a<br />

much beloved ending line, it would seem<br />

to suggest that all of God’s creation is sacred-<br />

not only humanity- and that perhaps,<br />

even less deserving of destruction, should<br />

be the animals that need no repentance<br />

and had already once paid the price for the<br />

wickedness of man.<br />

Why Yonah: God’s mercy extends<br />

to all of God’s creation. For God is a caring<br />

God. Even a people steeped in wickedness,<br />

even a people other than the Jewish people,<br />

are capable of repentance and of receiving<br />

God’s mercy. How much more so then, are<br />

the Jewish people who have a special place<br />

in God’s esteem as partners in covenant<br />

More so, the story of Yonah teaches us that<br />

not only do all of God’s children merit the<br />

opportunity to repent; the role of Israel, exactly<br />

because we are partners in covenant,<br />

includes the responsibility to teach the<br />

principles of morality and t’shuvah beyond<br />

our own borders- even to those who do us<br />

harm. Ultimately, no matter how much we<br />

believe that we or someone else is not worthy<br />

of a second chance, God believes that<br />

we are. God is a God of justice, but God is<br />

equally a God of mercy. One without the<br />

other and neither can stand.<br />

In the days ahead, may we be as<br />

God - accepting of truth, yet extending<br />

compassion through love. May God bless<br />

you in the year ahead.<br />

With our best, David and Adrienne<br />

From Strength to Strength<br />

Membership means YOU!<br />

~Helen Sabo and Chuck Greenfield, Membership Co-Chairs<br />

If you attended the last congregational meeting, you know that we<br />

need a significant increase in our membership over the upcoming two<br />

years to enable us to continue to offer the variety and depth of<br />

services and programs that our congregation has come to expect and<br />

enjoy. Building and strengthening our membership is crucial to our<br />

future, and with your help, we can achieve our membership goals.<br />

As a member of the congregation, you probably know how warm and<br />

supportive and rewarding congregational life is at <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>Adat</strong><br />

<strong>Shalom</strong>. (If you aren’t getting what you’d like from your <strong>Temple</strong><br />

membership, let’s talk!) But with affiliation rates below 50% going back multiple generations, there are<br />

thousands of Jews in San Diego who have no idea that our congregation offers exactly the kind of community<br />

that is so hard to find in our secular lives. When we get those unaffiliated Jews through our doors, they tend to<br />

like what they see, and they tend to stay.<br />

One easy thing that we all can do to help ensure that newcomers return and eventually join our<br />

congregation is to be sure we are as welcoming as possible. When our clergy invite newcomers to stand and<br />

introduce themselves at services, look for those guests at the oneg and introduce yourself to them. If you see<br />

someone at <strong>Temple</strong> whom you don’t know, or you notice someone alone at the oneg, don’t hesitate to say<br />

hello—they may or may not be new to the congregation, but every personal connection that is forged between<br />

congregants makes us better and stronger. You may find that you have more in common with those “strangers”<br />

than you might have imagined. You may just make a wonderful new friend.<br />

As each of us strives to make our congregation ever more warm and welcoming, we will go from strength to<br />

strength.<br />

From the Desk of Our<br />

Executive Director ~ Jeffrey Frankel<br />

As many of you know, Debbie Savitzky retired from full<br />

time work this past May. Over the summer, we elected<br />

to make a change in our accounting department. 26<br />

years ago Debbie came on as Bookkeeper and grew that<br />

role into the full bodied role of Finance Manager. The<br />

Executive Committee recently approved to split the roles<br />

of our accounting office. We are moving to a model of a<br />

full time bookkeeper and a 28 hour a month Accounting<br />

Consultant. Please know that during this transition we are working hard<br />

to assure nothing slips through the cracks. Should you have any questions<br />

regarding your account please always know that I, along with the rest of<br />

our team, are here to meet your needs and continue to build a strong<br />

community.<br />

It is my great pleasure to share that we have hired Debbie back on a part<br />

time basis in the Accounting Consultant role. She will be responsible for<br />

the training and oversight of our new bookkeeper, bank reconciliations,<br />

financial reports, budgets, and other larger scale financial matters. I would<br />

also like to share that Donna Nitti has been brought on to serve as<br />

Bookkeeper. Donna comes to us with a wealth of accounting and payroll<br />

knowledge in both the for profit and more recently the nonprofit worlds.<br />

Many of you may know her as her path brought her to TAS outreach and<br />

adult education programs over the past number of years. Most recently,<br />

she served as interim administrator for Ner Tamid during an extended<br />

vacation of their administrator.<br />

I welcome Donna to our TAS staff, and Debbie what can we say other than<br />

a huge Todah Rabah!<br />

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE<br />

Family<br />

I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my parents’ 50 th anniversary with them, along with my two<br />

sisters, their families, and all of my immediate family. Us “kids” had been bugging my parents for a while<br />

as to what they would like for a celebration: a big party with all their friends A family cruise vacation An<br />

exotic trip somewhere for the two of them Eventually they decided that they really just wanted time with<br />

their family. So we rented a house on the northern California coast for a week for all 15 of us to hang out,<br />

with a few planned activities and lots of free time to be together. What could be better<br />

While we ended up having a fantastic time, there were some interesting family dynamics going on that<br />

spurred this article. To mom, we’ll always be kids, so there were always questions if we remembered to<br />

lock the doors, put away items, turn off appliances, etc. (never mind that her kids are now an engineer, a<br />

doctor, and an Intel project manager). Dad was more interested in watching TV than anything else. There<br />

are parental hearing issues (“yes, I got the hearing aids, but I don’t feel like using them”). Among the rest of us, there are different<br />

parenting styles and levels of tolerance for kids’ shenanigans. Likewise, there are certain family members that are talkative and can be<br />

quite loud while others prefer quiet. Some folks were happy curling up with a book in their free time, while others thought we should<br />

all hike to the beach. As you can see, in spite of being a family we had quite a mixed group. And although there were a few tears and<br />

raised voices along the way, we did get to reacquaint ourselves, and get to know the youngest of our group much better. Although not<br />

without moments of stress, overall, it was a wonderful experience, and my parents were happy to have all of us together for a week.<br />

So why am I sharing all of this with you Thinking back on our trip, it occurred to me that our family reunion experience was not<br />

so different in many ways when compared to our second family – that at <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>Adat</strong> <strong>Shalom</strong>. Without going into the sensitive topic<br />

of hearing impaired individuals “whispering” during services, I will say that we have the same wide diversity of personalities, styles,<br />

beliefs, and priorities in a number of areas. In addition, our members hail from many parts of the U.S. and overseas, and were brought<br />

up in different styles of Judaism (or none at all). I believe that this diversity, similar in some ways to my immediate family, makes the<br />

TAS family strong rather than the opposite. Our diversity makes our community a stimulating and interesting place to be. The<br />

richness of the different threads that we each bring to make up our community tapestry creates a whole greater than the sum of its<br />

parts. And because we are a family, even when a difference of opinion arises we can avoid dissension that could fracture us, as long as<br />

love and respect are maintained. I sincerely do not know what I would do without my TAS family and value all of the connections we<br />

have formed in our community.<br />

Also, because this edition of the Shofar is the first of 5773, I want to give a special welcome to our newest TAS family members.<br />

Going into the new year, I invite both returning and new TAS family members to contribute your personal tile to our overall TAS<br />

mosaic.<br />

Angelica, Jacob, Rachel and Naomi join me in wishing you all a sweet and fulfilling New Year 5773.<br />

Marty<br />

From the Board ~ June-July <strong>2012</strong><br />

By Andrea Roberts ~ Secretary<br />

Incoming members joined the<br />

Board of Trustees in June. To<br />

get to know your board members<br />

a little better, you can find<br />

their names and biographies on<br />

the TAS website at http://www.<br />

adatshalom.com/pages/leadership.php.<br />

Thanks to the outgoing<br />

members for the time, dedication,<br />

energy, and wisdom they devoted<br />

to <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>Adat</strong> <strong>Shalom</strong>. A special<br />

thanks to our treasurer, Adam<br />

Colton, who is leaving our treasury<br />

in the capable hands of Alan<br />

Greenspan as he moves into the<br />

position of First Vice President.<br />

Financially, we are pretty much<br />

on target with our cash in the<br />

bank.<br />

Membership renewals have gone<br />

out. An increased emphasis is<br />

being placed on signing up members<br />

of Amudei, who are true Pillars<br />

of <strong>Adat</strong> <strong>Shalom</strong> as they help<br />

to ensure that TAS can continue<br />

to provide excellent programs.<br />

This effort, along with legacy giving,<br />

is being spearheaded by the<br />

Development Committee and its<br />

new chair, David Schillinger.<br />

TAS is looking into a new carrier<br />

that can stream Friday night and<br />

special services without commercials.<br />

We are considering charging<br />

a small fee and offering that<br />

service to congregants who want<br />

to stream B’nai Mitzvot, baby<br />

naming ceremonies, memorial<br />

services, and other special events.<br />

The Community Garden Project is<br />

moving ahead. The next step is a<br />

blueprint drawing from a<br />

volunteer landscape architect. We<br />

hope to start Gan Peah (Hebrew<br />

name of Community Garden)<br />

in the fall. The Adult Education<br />

Committee is planning fall and<br />

spring events that will include<br />

TASTY (the TAS High School<br />

youth group) and that will appeal<br />

to both students and parents. If<br />

you’re a movie buff, we are trying<br />

to find someone to lead the<br />

monthly Adult Education movie<br />

group discussions. We are all fired<br />

up to make this a fabulous year.<br />

Please join us in this endeavor.<br />

CANTOR’S CORNER<br />

How Music Makes A Difference<br />

One of the wonderful and important aspects of Reform<br />

Judaism is that it is ever changing and evolving to reflect<br />

the ever changing world we live in.<br />

Two years ago a special task force was created, made up<br />

of dedicated Religious Practices Committee members,<br />

with the hopes of creating a new and relevant Yom<br />

Kippur afternoon service on the heels of our highly<br />

popular Rosh Hashana Contemporary Service. This<br />

service, however, will have a totally different feel to it<br />

than the Rosh Hashana Contemporary service and will<br />

be reflective of the sacredness of the day. The service will<br />

feature new and uplifting texts and music to highlight<br />

contemporary thought and theology in addition to the<br />

most beautiful choral pieces of our previous afternoon<br />

service. The committee has been<br />

working diligently, together with me<br />

and the Rabbi, and we are excited to<br />

introduce it this Yom Kippur. We are<br />

very proud of our efforts and we hope<br />

it is favorably received. We are deeply<br />

indebted to the Yom Kippur Task<br />

Force committee: Gerry Voit, Mary<br />

Klein, Carol Gendel, Janet Pollack,<br />

Keith Liker and Dennis Masur with special thanks to<br />

Janet Pollack for countless hours invested in creating the<br />

service booklet. We invite everyone to experience this new<br />

and inspirational service and encourage your feedback. Jeff<br />

and I wish everyone a sweet, happy, healthy and fulfilling<br />

new year.<br />

Thank you for those congregants who enriched<br />

us by presenting a D'var Torah at Services during<br />

the month of July.<br />

be deeply committed and involved in the Mosad <strong>Shalom</strong> educational program. School families know that<br />

Mosad <strong>Shalom</strong> is ‘theirs’ and are eager to be involved. They feel part of its success. Students will find a<br />

warm, friendly environment where everyone is committed to their well-being, safety and learning. Under<br />

the excellent direction of Marilyn Milne, Early Childhood Director, more and more Ganon Gil students are<br />

registering for Mosad <strong>Shalom</strong> kindergarten. With guidance from Jeffrey Frankel, Executive Director, the<br />

custodial staff provides all the services and set-ups needed for the school to run smoothly and efficiently.<br />

The leadership of <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>Adat</strong> <strong>Shalom</strong> and the School Committee demonstrate through their funding<br />

and activities their ongoing and important support of Mosad <strong>Shalom</strong>. Susan Cohn, Director of Education,<br />

continues to focus on Mosad <strong>Shalom</strong> providing a friendly, collaborative, values-based atmosphere where<br />

creative, innovative, experiential cutting-edge educational programming and serious curriculum taught by<br />

knowledgeable, experienced teachers can thrive and produce students who will make a difference in this<br />

May the New Year 5773 bring to all of us good health, happiness, prosperity and <strong>Shalom</strong> – Peace.<br />

Wish For Tomorrow, Today.<br />

our students- a program that has earned accolades on the national level<br />

number to serve as classroom aides in addition to their own studies, but our teachers<br />

us to open up the universe of Jewish resources available on the world wide web. Help us<br />

to encourage them to apply their skills in technology to the discovery and advancement of<br />

new Jewish learning. Help us bring their Jewish experience into the 21st century.<br />
