President’s Message

Michael Gordon

Shalom,

October has been a busy month at Temple Adas Shalom. It was a joyful

experience to see so many participants in our High Holy Days services.

Kudos to the magnificent preparation and execution of our Religious

Practices team and their many helpers. The Chinese Auction is nearing

it’s drawing. Thanks to the many who have participated. Religious

school is off to a Zoom based start, and we will continue to look for ways

to relieve our students of Zoom fatigue. Stay tuned for announcements

from Adult Education. Our Safe Building Opening team continues to

monitor the pandemic looking at the latest medical and scientific

information.

Unfortunately, it is still too early to project when our Temple will open

its doors. We urge everyone to continue to follow the guidelines

recommended by the CDC and the state of Maryland for the health of

yourselves, your family, and your friends. Finally, be sure to vote.

L’shalom,

Mike Gordon

Board President

Religious Practices Message

Melissa Immel & Mark Wolkow

Greetings from the Religious Practices Committee

We hope this message finds you well and these uncertain times haven't

been too stressful for you and your family. During the pandemic, Temple

Adas Shalom offers a variety of religious services and social gatherings via

ZOOM. Please consider logging in to a Friday or Saturday service and

experience the warmth and joy of our online community.

Shabbat Evening Services offer a great way to start your weekend, with

most services beginning at 7 pm. We're also testing a new start time of 6

pm once a month in November and December. Shabbat Mornings consist

of either a 'Taking Hold of Torah' discussion or 'Mindfulness and

Meditation'; both begin at 9:30 am. Check out our calendar for the latest

information, and start times.

On behalf of the Religious Practices Committee, we wish you and your

loved one's good health, happiness, and safety.

L'shanah Tovah,

Melissa Immel and Mark Wolkow

RPC Co-Chairs

Social Committee Message

Charna Kinneberg

Thanks go out to everyone who participated in the ONEG Mitzvah

Brigade delivery of the packages for High Holidays.

Please be on the look out for another delivery in the Spring.

Meanwhile, in December we'll be working on a Hannukah latke event in

conjunction with an outdoor candle lighting. Please watch for details

Kehillah MAGNET Message

Joel Yoffee

Hello Temple Adas Shalom Community,

We hope everyone is continuing to stay safe at home!

We hear at Kehillah MAGNET realize virtual learning during these COVID times

can sometimes be a real challenge. As the race to find a cure for COVID progresses,

please be assured we will continue to evaluate and plan a safe reopening for all

parents, students, and teachers. Also, we want to thank all the teachers, parents,

and students for your continued learning engagement. Our virtual learning

programs for all grade levels would not be a success without all of you! Please keep

up the great work!

Kehillah MAGNET still has student availability at all grade levels! If you have a

child or know of a family with children interested in learning more about their

Jewish heritage, Kehillah MAGNET might be the learning environment for them.

We would love the opportunity to discuss our Jewish educational programs with

all those interested. Please contact our Principal, Jenn Bober, at

principal@templeadasshalom.org, for additional information.

As always, parents answering your questions and concerns about Temple Adas

Shalom's Kehillah MAGNET Religious School Program is very important to us, and

we would love the opportunity to talk directly with you. You always have a voice!

Many Thanks,

Joel Yoffee

Kehillah MAGNET Religious School Committee Chair

Sisterhood News

Pat Wolkow

Thanks for Survey Responses, keep them coming!

https://harfordjewishcenter.org/sisterhoodsurvey/

We made significant progress at our first virtual membership meeting on October

3rd. I know Zooming is not our favorite way to meet, but we had many laughs and

planned out four events, using breakout rooms by interest. Dates have been

changing, so PLEASE keep your eyes on the calendar and electronic updates.

Thanks to the team who planned our out or day!

We just experienced our first In-Person event with our families and pets, safely

distanced and outside, at Mariner Point Park. All had great fun. Thanks, Paula

Mullis and Jessica Hurst.

Coming Up: Saturday, November 14th @ 7:00 pm is our “Paid-Up Member Virtual

Bingo” event. Those who have paid dues or plan to pay at the event are welcomed

to join! See the enclosed flyer for details.

Sunday, December 13th, is our Sisterhood Hanukkah Party. We will be virtual to

stay on the safe side, but what surprising fun this year will bring. Please Fill out our

Survey on the link above to join so that you can celebrate with us!

of it what you put into it.”

Adult Education Message

Stephen Marksamer

As promised, two new offerings from your congregation adult education

department. Here they are:

HEBREW IN A JIFFY!

Are you tired of following along in transliteration? Are you wondering why an "i"

sounds like an "e" and an "e" like an "i"? You can't figure out all those strange

symbols, many of which look the same. All the dots and dashes above and below

the letters driving you crazy? Then sign up for Linda and Mark's Hebrew in a

Jiffy course. We'll have you reading words in no time and following along with

reading, singing, and even chanting from the Torah. We'll do it all in 8 weeks, and

we'll have lots of fun in the process.

Prerequisite: Reading English.

Leaders Linda Needel & Mark Wolkow Date & Time: TBD

BOOK DISCUSSION

The education committee is pleased to announce our new initiative, a quarterly

book discussion. The Committee will choose the books from a wide range of genres

and worthy of a robust conversation. We will announce the book well in advance

to give you time to read and reflect. Our first selection, "The Book of Lost Names" by

Kristen Harmel, is historical fiction inspired by real events. Rabbi Franken will lead

the discussion.

Leaders: Terri Broemm & Rabbi Franken

Date: TBD Time: Shabbat morning in January 2021

If you would like to register for either, please send an email

to adulted@templeadasshalom.org with the offering you would like to participate

in and your preferred contact information.

Remember, these are both free to all members of our congregation! We look

forward to you joining us.

There are other educational, stimulating offerings as well. Check out our web page

for the latest https://harfordjewishcenter.org/jewisheducation/adult-education.

If you are interested in participating and developing new classes or have ideas

moving towards greater congregational involvement, please don't hesitate to

contact your Adult Ed committee at adulted@templeadasshalom.org.

I am looking forward to hearing from you. Stay healthy and stay safe.

Sincerely,

Stephen Marksamer
