Social Action Month
This month, the second on the Hebrew calendar, is called
Cheshvan. Because it contains no holidays except for Shabbat, and
because it contains no extra mitzvot to perform, our Sages of old
called it “Mar Cheshvan” – the bitter Cheshvan. In attempts to make
this month less “bitter,” decades ago, this month became known as
“Social Action Month.” During Cheshvan, we work towards making
the lives of those in our community and in our world less bitter. One
Rabbi Mackler
of the ways we can do that as a community is to participate in and
volunteer with the Boulevard Bolt, raising awareness and money for homeless and hunger
programs right here in our city.
This November, as we will gather with our families for Thanksgiving at the end of the
year to express our gratitude for all we have, we also have the opportunity to walk in someone
else’s shoes, if only for a week, to feel what it is like to live on food stamps, in need of further
financial assistance.
According to its website, “The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
makes a difference in the lives of millions of Americans across the country, but in many cases, the
benefits received are too low to allow families to purchase enough nutritious food and to feed
their families healthy meals on a consistent basis. After paying for housing, energy and health care
expenses, many low-income households have little or no money remaining to spend on food
without food stamp benefits. In addition, most food stamp households report their benefits do
not last the entire month. Many are forced to turn to food pantries and soup kitchens…
“The SNAP Challenge first captured public attention in 2006 when FRAC allies in
Philadelphia, Pa. hosted one, followed by groups in Wichita, Kansas. The Challenge took the
national stage in 2007 when four Members of Congress – Representatives James McGovern
(D-Mass.), Jo Ann Emerson (R-Mo.), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), and Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) – pledged to
live for a week on an average food stamp budget and blogged about their experiences.
Since then, hundreds – if not thousands – of people have taken the challenge, including
Members of Congress, governors, state legislators, mayors, advocates for elderly persons
and children, religious and community leaders, reporters, and average citizens have taken the
Challenge…

We Are Proud to be Part of the AJWS Global
Hunger Shabbat ~ November 2 nd at 6:00 pm
Global Hunger Shabbat is a key component of AJWS’s Reverse Hunger campaign.
Together, we have already made a huge difference. Global Hunger Shabbat 2012 is an
opportunity to take stock as we continue our work to advance food justice for all.
How does our tradition inspire us? How do we use our power as American Jews to
make a difference in the lives of people facing hunger in the developing world?
How can we be more effective in our role as advocates and catalysts for change?
In conjunction with this effort we are delighted to display the Think
Out of the Box project in which one of our congregants,
Michael Moreau,
won the grand prize for his design of a virtual Tzedakah box.
We hope that you will be inspired to “think out of the box”
for ways to live up to our ideals and values.
We look forward to exploring these questions with you during
Global Hunger Shabbat 2012!

Get on Board
I hope that you enjoyed our High Holy Days services this year. They were the culmination of considerable
planning and preparation by our clergy, staff, and numerous volunteers.
I would like to thank everyone whose participation and effort combined to make the holidays so special
for our congregants and guests, and I enjoyed the kind words of appreciation from so many of our members.
Particularly gratifying were the compliments from several of our out-of-town visitors, who were impressed
Ray Berkt by our services, clergy, and facility. I was delighted to hear such glowing accolades from non-members.
With the arrival of autumn, things are in full swing at the Temple. That is not to suggest that summer is a
slow period, because it is not. During the summer, life cycle events continue, our services and programming go on, and your staff,
clergy, and lay leaders continue to look after Temple affairs.
The officers still meet the first Tuesday of each month, the Executive Committee the second Tuesday, and the Board of
Trustees on the third Tuesday. Among the important matters addressed by our Board during the summer months is the adoption
of the annual budget, as well as a presentation from our endowment investment advisors.
In between the meetings noted above, the various committees of the Temple continue with their responsibilities. Some
of their work done over the summer becomes obvious in the fall, when we consider such things as Social Action Committee
allocations for non-profits, and annual giving.
Although the Religious School has no classes during the summer, Lynda Gutcheon is busy planning and organizing for the
upcoming year. This fall, Lynda has arranged for a variety of “Food Trucks” to come to the Temple one Sunday each month during
the school year. If you are unfamiliar with the food truck craze, I encourage you to give it a try. It can be a fun, interesting, and tasty
treat for all. Plus, the Temple receives a portion of the sales.
The Development Committee worked hard this past summer, formulating and finalizing strategies for planned giving
opportunities that you will be hearing more about in the coming year. In addition, the committee met with our past presidents and
worked with several congregants who have generously included the Temple in their estate planning.
One of the most innovative giving opportunities created by the Development Committee is the ability to endow one’s dues,
or to endow dues in memory of someone who has passed away. It is a wonderful way to support the Temple in perpetuity, and to
remember and recognize someone special in our lives, for the life of our congregation.
Of course, the members of the Caring and Concern Committee, who do so much for our congregants, don’t miss a day
in the summer. They are always there to assist our members in difficult times. I think that you would be surprised how much time
committee members put in, and how many congregants they assist on a weekly basis.
I have mentioned only a few of our committees. In fact, we have more than thirty active committees at the Temple, all of
which work in conjunction with members of our staff and/or clergy. Everything you see, everything you touch, and everything that
is consumed at the Temple is associated, in some way, with the work of our volunteers.
The hundreds of volunteers who contribute their time and talent to the Temple don’t take a season off. They work tirelessly,
year round, for the benefit of our congregation. So, if you want to help, check out the list of committees in our Temple directory,
and talk with a committee chair about volunteering opportunities. Help is always needed and appreciated, and it can be a satisfying
and rewarding experience.
Regardless of the season, many of your fellow congregants are working hard to make the Temple a better place for you and
your family. This New Year, please give some thought to what’s going on at the Temple, and how you can be part of it.

. . . from our Director of Membership & Programming
Dear Temple family,
After thinking about this for a long while, I have decided to step down from my position as
Director of Membership & Programming. This is a personal decision, not in response to any thing or
event here at Temple. I assure you too that everyone in my family, myself included, is healthy and well.
Simply put, for me, it’s time for a change.
It has truly been a pleasure to serve the membership and programming needs of our Temple
these past four years. Each day, I have appreciated the sacred honor of working at a congregation
rich with tradition and legacy, yet equally inclusive and progressive. My staff role has afforded me
an immensely wonderful and memorable opportunity to get to know and work for so many of you,
newcomers and longtime members alike, during times of celebration and times of need.
You are each so special to me. I am profoundly thankful for the welcome, kindness, and
encouragement you’ve offered, which I will hold onto always. I will be working at Temple until Thanksgiving. Then, I'll join you as
a congregant once again.
With gratitude & friendship,
Nancy
We hope you will plan to join us on
Friday, November 23 rd during our 6:00 pm Shabbat Services
as we honor Nancy for the contributions she has made to our Temple Family.
The Temple Cemetery Committee is
pleased to announce the addition of new
section markers in our cemetery.
Our hope is that this addition will be helpful for
generations to come!
The Adult Education committee introduces the
Well-Being Program (WBP)
to our Temple community for the enrichment of your mind, body and spirit.
First Yoga Class - November 11 th at 10:00 am
The Temple WBP is offering yoga classes with the theme of “Come as you are, pay what you can”. Classes will be donation
based (donations will go to the Adult Education Fund to aid in the continuation of programs like this) and open to all levels of
experience. These classes will include breathing practices, meditation, music and gentle flow. You will need to bring your
own mat, towel, pillow, blanket … whatever will give you comfort and restoration. As our program develops we will have
classes for different levels, and at different times during the week. In time, we will be able to supply yoga props and mats
at the Temple. The first class will be offered on Sunday, November 11 th from 10 - 11 a.m. and facilitated by Karen Silien,
who completed her yoga teacher training last April at Sanctuary Yoga.
In 2013 the WBP will be offering Shabbatons for restoration and play. We offered one of these in March 2012 and are
delighted to have a series of these for our community in 2013. The Shabbatons will include yoga, centering breath
practices, reflective writing, a Jewish-themed art project, and healthy and delicious food, of course. The day concludes
with a Havdalah ceremony to bring Shabbat to a peaceful close. Look for specific dates and themes in the January View.
For more information on any of these programs please contact:
Karen Silien, Adult Education Chair at ksilien@me.com or call The Temple (352-7620)

Social Action Allocation Highlight:
Opportunities Industrialization Center (OIC)
OIC assists those who are ready and willing to achieve a better quality of life for themselves, their families and our
community. In 2010-2011, students in the GED Preparation Class made 134.6 Grade Level Advances. Fifteen students earned
a GED last year, and OIC helped 48 of its clients get jobs at an average of $9.75 per hour ($20,270/year). In soft skills training,
students completed 80 modules in Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, Power Point, and Outlook. The value of these skills
added significantly to the marketability of the clients.
OIC received funding from Social Action Allocations in 2012 to assist the agency in providing assessment, training,
education and job placement services.

Teamwork Improves Recycling Program
Greater Efficiency Produces Monetary Savings
by Charles Krivcher, co-chair of the Building & Maintenance Committee
Collaborative efforts of three committees working closely with the Temple staff have taken our recycling program to
the next level. Members of the Building & Maintenance, Green Team and Beautification Committees, along with the advice and
consent of the staff, have combined trash and recycling efforts under the umbrella of our ongoing relationship with a single
vendor, Clarksville Disposal, LLC (a subsidiary of Waste Connections, Inc.).
Effective October 1, 2012 The Temple has one trash container and one single stream recycling container, as well as a
number of movable recycling bins located around the building. The Temple will save over $2,000 per year with the added benefit
of being able to recycle more items while creating less trash.
Please be in touch with any comments and suggestions, as we strive to be both “greener” and more efficient in our
operations. We would also welcome your support as a volunteer (perhaps, an hour each week) to maintain our current
composting and organic gardening activities.
Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who donated coats for the Temple Coat Drive this year! We collected dozens of coats that will
be distributed to local homeless men and women by Room in the Inn. Room in the Inn was especially grateful for our donation,
as these were the first coats they had received since the fall weather arrived. The drive was such a success that the Social Action
Committee plans to make it an annual event.
Special thanks to Lynda Gutcheon and the Ninth Grade Religious School class for sorting and loading the coats for
delivery.

families week after week and month after month, it does provide those who take the Challenge with a new perspective and
greater understanding.”
Think about what you spend in a day on food – perhaps a $4 cup of coffee, a $12 sandwich, maybe $50 for a couple
to have dinner out. In Tennessee, the average weekly total for food stamps is $33.45. That is $4.46 a day. We invite you to
participate in the challenge for one week, spending only the allotted average $33.45 a week on food. We will host a Global
Hunger Shabbat Friday, November 2, where we will learn more about this Challenge and how we can help. This program
was inspired by our young adult members in our community who seek to create understanding and change in our world. They
will be helping to lead our Challenge and participate in our service. We will join other Challenge participants, like the AARP,
Jewish Council for Public Affairs , MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger , National Council of Jewish Women, National Council
on Aging , and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. Join us for this important Shabbat and join the SNAP Challenge.
Second Harvest Food Bank ~ A Rewarding Experience
by Glenda Kraft
About 20 years ago, my friend Missy Russ invited me to join her in volunteering at Second Harvest Food Bank. Along
with some other friends, we spent hours every Wednesday preparing a large weekly mailing. Admittedly, part of the appeal was
spending time with the group and going out to lunch after we finished. Even though we weren’t working directly with food, our
help amounted to saving the food bank many man (or woman) hours of paid labor. Over time, different friends have joined us,
our job has changed a few times, we’ve seen staff come and go, and the facility has moved.
All these years later, Missy and I are still the “Wednesday ladies”, as the staff refers to us, and most Wednesday afternoons
you can find us folding, stuffing, sealing and stamping at Second Harvest.
The reason I’m still committed is that I see what important work is done there.
Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee provides food to a lot of hungry people, and 31 percent of those people
are kids. It’s estimated that in our state, 1 in 4 children are food insecure.
Last year, over 19 million pounds of food was distributed throughout 46 counties, providing more than 16 million meals
to people of all ages and circumstances. During recent years, when many have encountered difficult economic times, this made
the difference between being able to feed the family, or going to bed with empty bellies.
`The food may be in an emergency food box, sent out to an outlying community in the Mobile Pantry, or sent home in
a school child’s backpack. Wherever the need arises, Second Harvest gets the food to those who would otherwise go hungry.
As one who loves to eat, and to share meals with family and friends, knowing that too many in our community are ‘food insecure’
is saddening to me. So I am grateful that the food bank provides me with an opportunity to help in a small way.
I encourage you to go to the website, www.secondharvestmidtn.org. There you can learn more about their mission, the
various programs, (including my favorite: the backpack program), and how to help.
Then, join us on November 14 th for lunch and a personal tour of Second Harvest Food Bank, and see for
yourself this impressive facility and the even more impressive work that is done there!

Preschool
by Corye Nelson & Jan Huettner
Preschool Receives Wall to Wall Support
We are so excited to announce that two of our
preschool classrooms will be getting new floors during the
Thanksgiving Holiday break. The Brachot (Infant classroom)
and Neshamah (Toddler 1 classroom) rooms will have the
carpet and VCT flooring removed from their classrooms and
new flooring will be installed. The new flooring will consist of a
premium vinyl material with a wood grain finish. This is the same
type of flooring being used in many hospitals and will provide
a warm and inviting, yet sanitary and easy to clean alternative,
to our current flooring. It is a project that Mark Shepard and
Corye have been working on for quite a while and finally it is
coming to fruition. The ultimate plan is to have the floors in ALL
of the classrooms
replaced. As you
can imagine, this
will be quite a
costly project.
The Temple
has been very
gracious to
agree to sponsor
these first two
classrooms, and
now it is on us
to raise enough
funds to complete
the project.
Here’s where
our parents,
grandparents, and
friends of the preschool can help.
The Parent
Committee has been hard at work planning the Temple
Preschool’s first “grown up” fundraiser. The fundraiser will
be called “Wall to Wall Support” and 100% of the funds raised
at this event will go towards replacing the floors in our entire
school. We hope to raise enough money to reach our goal and
will appreciate your donation in support of our renovation.
PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS and line up a baby sitter
now for the evening of November 28 th . We will have a
wonderful wine and cheese soiree in the Temple’s Art Gallery
(Meeting rooms A & B). The backdrop for this wonderful event
Wall to wall
Support
for our
Temple
Preschool
will be our own student artists’ paintings, as we have once again
been given the honor of having them display their art work as
the featured artists for the month of November.
Before we say goodbye for the month, we would like
to recognize our own Corye Nelson for the amazing job that
she did in chairing the Tennessee Association for the Education
of Young Children’s State Conference which was held on Friday,
October 12 th in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Corye worked
diligently for the past several years with her committee to
attract world-class professional speakers and educators
from across the country to lead and guide approximately
one thousand preschool and early education teachers from
across the state
of Tennessee.
They presented
“cutting edge”
topics on a
variety of
subjects including
the latest in
brain research,
emergency
preparedness,
professional
development,
emergent literacy,
health issues for
children and
how we can
respond, the
administrator’s role in promoting cultural diversity, math and
science innovations, music, infant and toddler interactions,
and finding inspiration in the Reggio Emilia approach. This
was just a sampling of some of the workshops that were
presented, and all of us who attended the conference came
back refreshed and inspired. We had several teachers (Ms.
Melissa Sostrin, Ms. Lindsey Lienert, and Ms. Stephanie “Moon”
Bishop) who presented workshops at the conference, as well.
We congratulate our teachers and our director for their
participation and guidance that took place at this prestigious
conference.
