Bold Statements to<br />

Guide Our Future<br />

Imagine a congregation that is warm<br />

and welcoming, where everyone feels<br />

connected to Judaism and each other.<br />

Imagine a congregation actively committed to<br />

Jewish education, teen involvement, Shabbat,<br />

Israel and the Conservative Movement.<br />

Imagine a congregation that encourages the use of mentors<br />

and technology and seeks to reduce financial barriers and be<br />

intentional Jews.<br />

This vision for <strong>Adath</strong> <strong>Jeshurun</strong> was introduced over the High<br />

Holidays in the form of eleven bold statements. A complete listing<br />

can be found on page 9 of this Clarion. Although some of these<br />

statements will be implemented over time as resources permit,<br />

we are well on the way towards realizing our overall vision.<br />

Programs such as Synaplex, Creative Adult Morning Program<br />

(C.A.M.P.) and L’dor V’dor are just a few examples where we<br />

educate and provide opportunities to connect with one another.<br />

Our Shabbat Coffee Lounge, outreach efforts and drivers through<br />

Yad Sima Tova help foster a warm and welcoming community.<br />

Numerous other examples exist where we provide quality teen<br />

programming, and where we engage congregants in Israel, the<br />

Conservative Movement and the broader community.<br />

Although we have much to celebrate, there is more to do and I<br />

encourage you to get involved with one of our committees and<br />

take advantage of the many wonderful programs and activities<br />

we offer. For further information please see the <strong>Adath</strong> website<br />

(www.adathjeshurun.org) or feel free to contact me via the <strong>Adath</strong><br />

office (952.545.2424 or office@adath.net).<br />

<strong>Adath</strong>’s Annual Purim Pushke Project<br />

Needs Your Help to Help Our Neighbors<br />

The economy has been improving slowly, but too many of<br />

our members and neighbors continue to need help. The<br />

<strong>Adath</strong> Hesed Committee has pledged the funds collected<br />

for this year’s Purim Pushke Project to support the only<br />

social service agency in this area with a kosher food shelf,<br />

STEP in St. Louis Park.<br />

This is a particularly significant year for STEP as it raises<br />

funds in a Capital Campaign for its own building while<br />

continuing to serve the needs of its extensive service area.<br />

Observe the Purim mitzvah of matanot l’evyonim (gifts<br />

for the poor) by joining <strong>Adath</strong>’s Hesed Purim Pushke<br />

Project in support of STEP’s fundraising drive. Contribute<br />

from your pushke, checkbook, or wallet! Pushke Project<br />

donations are accepted during all of the Purim celebrations<br />

or by mail or in person to the <strong>Adath</strong> office or education<br />

office during <strong>March</strong>.<br />

<strong>Adath</strong>’s Morning Minyan will match the funds donated,<br />

doubling the impact of your donation! There is an additional<br />

matching grant for STEP Capital Fund donations.<br />

Do you need a pushke tzedakah donation box for your<br />

home? Contact the <strong>Adath</strong> office or Gan/education office.<br />

Be a Minyan Maker<br />

Beginning in <strong>March</strong>, each week about<br />

20 <strong>Adath</strong> households will receive a<br />

special e-mail request, asking members<br />

of their household to attend daily<br />

minyan as many times as they are<br />

able to during a specific upcoming<br />

week. This request includes all<br />

household members who are 13 or<br />

older. We encourage you to use this<br />

opportunity to attend with your children<br />

and teach them the mitzvah of daily<br />

prayer.<br />

While <strong>Adath</strong> has a vibrant daily<br />

minyan, we still occasionally struggle<br />

to meet the required quorum of ten<br />

adult Jews. The daily minyan is<br />

extremely important to mourners and<br />

individuals who are observing a<br />

yahrzeit as well as those who are<br />

seeking the spiritual comfort of prayer<br />

in a welcoming community. With this<br />

new system of dividing the congregation<br />

into 52 groupings to receive requests<br />

for specific weeks, we hope to<br />

ensure the vibrancy of our minyan. Of<br />

course we encourage you to attend<br />

minyan at any time, with or without an<br />

e-mail request.<br />

Our new ―Minyan Maker‖ program is<br />

modeled after a successful program<br />

developed by Rabbi Micah Peltz at<br />

Temple Beth Shalom in Cherry Hill,<br />

New Jersey. Rabbi Peltz grew up at<br />

<strong>Adath</strong> and is the son of our members<br />

Paul and Henrietta Peltz.<br />

<strong>Adath</strong> <strong>Jeshurun</strong> has ―adopted‖ the film<br />

Romeo and Juliet in Yiddish. Shakespeare’s<br />

words come to life in Yiddish<br />

in this innovative drama (English plus<br />

subtitles) about ex-Orthodox guys who<br />

lend their Yiddish skills to a budding<br />

scholar. The one problem: they have<br />

never heard of Shakespeare! Parental<br />

discretion advised; recommended for<br />

ages 18+.<br />

Meet the filmmaker Eve Annenberg<br />

From Your<br />

<strong>Congregation</strong>al Nurse<br />

Debby Jewett<br />

In my work as your <strong>Congregation</strong>al Nurse, I’ve visited<br />

many congregants who are living with dementia. Dementia<br />

is a progressive brain impairment which usually goes<br />

through stages resulting in increasing inability to perform<br />

daily activities, most often requiring increasing help and<br />

care. A number of conditions can result in dementia. The<br />

most common is Alzheimer’s disease.<br />

Many of us have friends and family members living with<br />

dementia. We know that communication becomes more<br />

difficult as a person with Alzheimer’s ages, but communication<br />

continues to be a vital link to our friends and family.<br />

Here are some suggestions you may find useful when<br />

visiting a friend or relative. They have helped me in<br />

communicating with people with dementia.<br />

Communication isn’t just words. You’re making a human,<br />

emotional connection and often that can be done nonverbally.<br />

Holding hands or sitting close by can be comforting.<br />

Use the past as a bridge to the present. Use your knowledge<br />

of your loved one’s past interests, work, hobbies, and<br />

family to draw them out. Pictures, especially of family or<br />

homes and other familiar places can be a springboard to<br />

Wednesday, May 25 • Tree of Life Luncheon.<br />

communication. Beloved or familiar music can trigger<br />

memories. I’ve seen people who can’t name their family<br />

members, but can sing along perfectly and joyfully to a<br />

popular song from their youth.<br />

Sometimes a trigger is talking about a family Shabbat ritual,<br />

or a holiday observance such as lighting Hanukkah candles.<br />

Almost everyone who has been connected to a synagogue<br />

remembers Adon Olam – I’ve had congregants with dementia<br />

sing along with me. All of these can bring warmth and<br />

comfort, and possibly conversation.<br />

Don’t be discouraged or impatient when your loved one<br />

(with or without dementia) asks the same questions<br />

repeatedly, or tells the same story over and over. They’re<br />

reaching out to communicate with you and they appreciate<br />

the loving and patient responses you give.<br />

Your presence is the most important thing you can give.<br />

Your loved one may not cognitively remember you, but your<br />

presence makes them feel good. They will be happy to see<br />

you right now, in the moment. Though your loved one may<br />

not remember that you visited, they enjoyed being with you<br />

while you were there.<br />

Bold Statements<br />

To Guide Our Future<br />

August 2010 – Av 5770<br />

The mission of <strong>Adath</strong> <strong>Jeshurun</strong> <strong>Congregation</strong>,<br />

a member of the Conservative Movement, is<br />

to be a progressive, egalitarian and sacred<br />

community dedicated to Torah (learning and<br />

tradition), Avodah (prayer and spirituality) and<br />

Gemilut Hasadim (acts of loving kindness).<br />

Welcoming Place (Hachnasat Orchim): We are a warm, welcoming congregation that promotes inclusion and<br />

participation while valuing diversity. We embrace welcoming as an important Jewish value and a responsibility<br />

shared by all as we support each other throughout all stages of life, and in times of joy and times of need.<br />

Connectedness (K’sharim): Judaism is grounded in community. We will connect with one another through a<br />

rich variety of opportunities that foster smaller communities, engaged in our congregation, reflecting the commitment<br />

to our mission and values.<br />

Education (Chinuch): Education is the foundation for a committed Jewish life. We will provide a lifelong continuum<br />

of quality Jewish learning opportunities to congregants of all ages, abilities and means through a combination<br />

of our own resources and that of our community partners.<br />

Teen Involvement (Noar): We value our teens and seek to engage them in congregational life. We will foster a<br />

sense of belonging and spiritual fulfillment among our teens and remove barriers to full participation in everyday<br />

Jewish life. We will provide leadership and financial support, creative programming, and will welcome teen input<br />

into congregational committees.<br />

Israel (Yisrael): Our commitment to the Land, the People and the State of Israel is steadfast. We will provide<br />

and promote opportunities for congregants to experience, visit, and learn more about Israel and will maintain a<br />

strong connection with the Masorti Movement and Magen Avraham, our sister congregation in Omer. We will<br />

strongly advocate for pluralism and tolerance in Israel and will model this by being respectful of differing points of<br />

view.<br />

Shabbat (Shabbat Kodesh): We inspire our members to experience the beauty and holiness of Shabbat, respecting<br />

tradition and offering an innovative array of Shabbat experiences. We recognize that Shabbat is celebrated<br />

in the synagogue, the home and other places.<br />

Conservative Judaism (Tenuah): We model what it means to be a leading Conservative Jewish congregation,<br />

fully engaged with our national organizations as they reshape our movement.<br />

Financial Commitment (Kemach): We will take a leadership role in developing resources that reduce financial<br />

barriers to participation in congregational activities and in the broader Jewish community.<br />

Technology (Technologia): We are committed to utilizing and expanding current and new technologies in order<br />

to extend our presence beyond the physical building.<br />

Mentoring (Hadracha): As congregants journey through a life dedicated to Torah, Avodah, and Gemilut<br />

Hasadim, we will provide mentors to welcome newcomers and increase the congregation’s overall knowledge,<br />

skills and comfort level with their own Jewish journey.<br />

Intentional Jews (Kavanah): We are a congregation that fosters intentional Jewish living. We will help<br />

members grow to become active Conservative Jews living in a vibrant, spiritual, caring and ethical community.<br />

Honor a Teacher Who<br />

Inspired You<br />

In his recent State of the Union<br />

address, President Obama<br />

encouraged all of us to become<br />

teachers. His message is not new. We<br />

find it in the Talmud as well: ―Whoever<br />

teaches his son teaches not only his<br />

son but also his son's son—and so on<br />

to the end of generations‖. We as<br />

Jews have always been committed to<br />

education and lifelong learning, as well<br />

as to teaching our children the ways of<br />

the world.<br />

As we aspire to implement the goals<br />

and vision for the future of our congregation,<br />

education, or chinuch, plays a<br />

fundamental role as the foundation for<br />

a committed Jewish life. We hope to<br />

provide a lifelong continuum of highquality<br />

Jewish learning opportunities<br />

to congregants of all ages, abilities<br />

and means, through a combination of<br />

our own member resources and that<br />

of our community partners.<br />

A D A T H J E S H U R U N F O U N D A T I O N<br />

Over the years, <strong>Adath</strong> has been<br />

blessed to welcome renowned<br />

scholars into our home and our<br />

minds. You may recall when Noam<br />

Zion challenged us to re-think how<br />

we celebrate Pesach. Rabbi Elliott<br />

Dorff and Rabbi Steven Greenberg<br />

helped spearhead our keruv/<br />

outreach efforts to reach out to gay<br />

and lesbian Jews and others who<br />

may feel marginalized or without a<br />

place in our community. Rabbi Amy<br />

Eilberg helped bring the topic of<br />

spirituality and healing to the forefront—now<br />

a priority of our Yad Sima<br />

Tova Program. These scholarly visits<br />

were made possible by the generosity<br />

of several Foundation funds that<br />

support adult learning opportunities.<br />

As we look ahead we ask you to<br />

consider honoring a teacher who<br />

inspired you, by sponsoring a program<br />

that will educationally touch<br />

the lives of others, of any age, in<br />

our congregation.<br />

For more information on how you can<br />

help secure <strong>Adath</strong>’s well-being for this<br />

and future generations, contact<br />

Jennifer Herman Spiller by phone<br />

at 952.215.3916 or by e-mail at<br />

jspiller@adath.net or you can find us<br />

on the web at<br />

Book Fund, our youngest congregants have<br />

classroom collections to enjoy.<br />
