several Jewish organizations. 

Smiles and service at TBE

around the shul as they stay at TBE during the evenings.

thirteen teens, as they share their experiences serving others 

in our community. This will be their final Shabbat in

Message From Our President 

Since assuming the presidency in 

June, I have been very busy – I 

feel as if I have been taking a 

college refresher course, Temple 

Beth-El 101, and as you might 

expect, there is a lot to learn! 

PROFESSIONALS: As you 

know, Rabbi Michelle Goldsmith has announced 

that when her contract expires in June 2013, she 

will be leaving our pulpit. I have had many 

opportunities to interact with her, and I can say 

without hesitation that she is fully engaged in all 

aspects of the Temple and admirably and 

respectfully carrying out her rabbinic duties. 

Cantor Dan Gale has returned from his vacation, 

and his attention is now turned towards High 

Holiday preparations. The Cantor’s contract runs 

until June 2013, and a process is in place with regard to 

reviewing it. Bob Greenberg, our Executive 

Director, is in the process of completing the office 

staff. He is interviewing candidates for the 

position once held by Barb Rothman who left in 

May. Bob has been heavily entrenched in all 

aspects of the Temple, and doing his job with a 

smile on his face at all times. Teresa Mason, our 

bookkeeper, has done a yeoman’s job – our 

financial records needed much attention. She 

brings to her position all the necessary skills 

required to get our financial house in order. Susan 

Biedinger, Communications, Membership and 

Outreach Coordinator, does a great job overseeing 

a multitude of communications. 

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL: There is excitement in 

the air regarding our Religious School! Maurine 

Halpern has been hired and her official title is 

Education and Youth Administrator. She has been 

working very hard with the Rabbi, the Cantor, 

Bob Greenberg, Lisa Bor and Naomi Kipp, Board 

of Education Co-Chairs, and Sheri Krell with 

regard to the curriculum and extra-curricular 

events. Jennifer Spiegelman has been hired and 

her official title is Youth Group Coordinator; she 

and Maurine have some very exciting field trips 

planned – Ruffner Mountain, McWane Center, 

Botanical Gardens, to name a few. Teachers have 

been hired; information and registration forms 

have been sent to the parents. We are on our way 

to having an outstanding year, and kudos to all 

who have been involved in this area! 

FINANCES: Bruce Downs, Treasurer, presented 

the 2012-2013 TBE budget at the June 3 

Congregational Meeting. We have a membership 

of approximately 550 members, and of those 550 

members, approximately 70% pay below our 

minimum dues level which is $1700. The 

projected amount that we hope to collect in dues 

is $593,000+. Two of the largest line items are 

Personnel - $610,910 and Administration - 

$140,000. With a projected budget deficit of 

nearly $53,000 and our Line of Credit at 

$600,000, there are many difficult decisions that 

lie ahead of us. If these numbers aren’t real eye 

openers, I don’t know what is! 

PAST PRESIDENTS, BOARD, AND 

COMMITTEES: The Past Presidents convened 

a meeting in June to which I was invited. The 

purpose of the meeting was to convey to me their 

support, their willingness to serve in whatever 

capacity I and the Executive Committee would 

like, and to offer their guidance and advice. I am 

very appreciative of their offer, as they represent 

a wealth of knowledge and experience! On July 

11, we held a board meeting, and the agenda was 

a full one, as evidenced by the many reports that 

were presented. Our committee structure has 

been steadily growing and there is more 

involvement by our members than has been in a 

long time – Ritual, Finance, Cemetery, Board of 

Education, Strategic Planning, Dues 

Remediation, Adult Education, Family 

Programming, Chesed, Hospitality, House, 

Personnel, Chevra Kadisha, Social Action – 

“summertime and the living is easy” does not 

hold true for our committees! 

There are a lot of good things beginning to 

happen, but there are also negative issues that 

must and will be addressed. I know that I am in 

the honeymoon phase of my presidency, but I 

must say that I am overwhelmed by how many of 

you have stepped forward and said, “How can I 

help?” Just as we hope that the housing and 

economic slumps are over and on the upswing, I 

am hopeful that our Temple is now moving in a 

positive direction. If you hear a rumor or have 

some suggestions to make, please call me. Let’s 

keep pushing forward – good things will happen! 

Sincerely, 

Arlene

I am thrilled about my new 

position as the Education 

and Youth Administrator for 

our Religious School. I 

appreciate all of the 

supportive phone calls, 

emails and nice words of 

congratulations that many 

of you have given me. I would especially like to 

thank a brilliant team of individuals who have 

worked tirelessly this summer to establish new 

program features and active learning 

opportunities that will engage our youth and 

build a life-long connection to Judaism: Rabbi 

Goldsmith, Cantor Gale, Bob Greenberg, Susan 

Biedinger, Naomi Kipp, Lisa Ruttenberg Bor, 

Sheri Krell and Jennifer Spiegelman. Our team 

has been able to accomplish a lot in a very 

short period of time and have fun while doing 

it. 

I attended the Institute of Southern Jewish 

Life (ISJL) curriculum conference this summer 

and learned an enormous amount of 

information that will enhance our Religious 

School program. In addition to implementing 

the ISJL curriculum for grades Pre K-10, we 

have added many engaging and fun learning 

opportunities to our school calendar. Some of 

those activities include: 

�� Trip to Ruffner Mountain for a Sunday 

morning Tefillah surrounded by nature and 

trees, then do our part for Tikkun Olam by 

performing a small service project 

�� Torah based scavenger hunt at the 

Birmingham Zoo 

�� Chanukah celebration with age-appropriate 

activities at the McWane Center 

�� Community events for Simchat Torah and 

Tu B’Shvat 

�� Back by popular demand- The Chocolate 

Seder. Yummy! 

�� Trip to Botanical Gardens with educational 

lessons for all grade levels 

�� Israeli Independence Day Parade: we will 

celebrate in a community-wide celebration of 

Israel! 

�� Chocolate covered matzo school fundraiser, 

during Passover, with cool prizes for the top 

sellers 

�� Re-energized Youth Groups led by Jennifer 

Spiegelman 

�� Newly formed Youth Choir led by Cantor 

Gale 

I firmly believe that it takes a “village” to raise 

children properly and I thank each and every 

one of you that will be supporting our program 

in a number of ways (financial, in-kind 

donations, volunteering, etc.). I am dedicated to 

doing my part in this “village” by striving to 

make TBE’s Religious School and Youth 

program the best, most educational and fun 

program it can possibly be. With your support, 

our “village” will produce knowledgeable and 

productive students while strengthening their 

Jewish identity for years to come. 

Shalom, 

Maurine Halpern 

Education and Youth Administrator

Message From Our Foundation 

B’yachad (Together) 

The Temple and Foundation Working in Partnership 

AUGUST 2012 

Annually, the Foundation Board reviews its assets, donations and income received from investments. 

Based on this review and financial reports from the past 16 rolling quarters, the Foundation grants an 

allocation to Temple Beth-El. Temple Beth-El’s new fiscal year begins July 1, 2012. The TBE Foundation 

will be allocating a total of $131,000 for the 2012/2013 fiscal year. These funds will be used to augment 

TBE’s budget and provide enrichment opportunities to the Congregation. In addition to the allocated 

funds, the Foundation considers special requests from the TBE Board for special activities and as other 

needs arise during the year. The Foundation works as a partner with Temple Beth-El’s finance team to 

ensure that the current and future needs of this congregation are met. 

Due to the Temple repairs and the funds supplied from the Long Term Deferred Maintenance Fund, the 

Foundation provided approximately $500,000 of financial support to TBE during the 2011/2012 fiscal 

year. This new fiscal year and subsequent years will be dedicated to the rebuilding of the Long Term 

Deferred Maintenance Fund. The Foundation Board of Directors thanks all those who made a pledge to 

support the TBE’s renovation project. Their donations will help to replenish the Deferred Maintenance 

Fund for future building repairs. 

Listed below are other suggested methods for helping to rebuild this fund and leave a lasting legacy to 

Temple Beth-El, many of which can provide tax benefits to the donor. Please consult your tax advisor for 

specific advice and recommendations. 

Bequests: Through your will you can make a planned gift to the Temple Beth-El Foundation without 

impacting your finances during your lifetime. 

Life Insurance: Name the Temple Beth-El Foundation as beneficiary of a life insurance policy. 

Relatively small tax deductible annual premiums can result in a substantial gift to the Foundation. 

Appreciated Assets: Selling stocks, bonds, securities, or real estate that have appreciated significantly 

in value may trigger substantial capital gains tax. However, contributing them to the Temple Beth-El 

Foundation may avoid the capital gains tax, and allows an income-tax deduction. Appreciated assets can 

be a wise way to make charitable gifts. 

Retirement Assets: Retirement Plan assets can generate significant taxes, at death, and can therefore 

be a wonderful vehicle for chartable endowment gifts. Your tax advisor can help you determine whether 

you are a candidate for making a substantial retirement assets donation (pension, profit sharing, Keogh, 

IRA, 401(k), etc.).

Uri Uri – Awake – Greet the New Dawn! 

As women, we experience many wake-up calls. Devorah the Prophet was a judge in 

Israel when she was roused from her seat under a plam tree to lead her people’s 

troops into battle with the words, “Arise, arise, Devorah; arise and join in the 

chant”(Judges 5:12). But Devorah was also known as a mother in Israel, and, as such, 

she must have been responsive to the great variety of wake-up calls women 

experience throughout their lives: a hungry baby, a child in need, a cause that 

demands immediate attention and action. 

Being roused to action is often just the prelude to awakening others, whether via the 

shofar – as seen growing out of the letter ayin in the 5773 Torah Fund pin – or by 

using our voices and networks to focus on the critical needs of our families and 

communities, our movement, and our people. The imagery of dawn invokes an 

awareness of the challenges before us as well as our need to be alert to address them. 

What challenges will we face in 5773 as Jewish women? Will we rise to meet them 

and will the glory of G-d be present in our response? Uri, uri – awake – and shir 

dabeiri – sing a song – of activity, of victory, and of thanks to the Holy One whose 

light illuminates all of our waking moments. 

Our new Torah Fund pins will be in soon, and we would love to deliver a gift package 

which includes your pin and a few donation cards! Levels of giving are: 

Associate Patron - $600 (Pin has a ruby) 

Guardian - $300 (Pin has a pearl) 

Benefactor - $180 

Payments can be made over twelve months. We also accept all major credit cards as 

well as checks. The money that we raise – this past year we raised $18,000+ - goes 

directly to The Jewish Theological Seminary and supports scholarships for our future 

rabbis, cantors, educational directors, etc. We invite you to join us!

Temple Beth-El is pleased to offer childcare during the High Holidays, for children one-year through 

Pre-Kindergarten for daytime services and one-year through First Grade for evening services. The 

cost is $25 per child per service, with the exception of Erev Rosh Hashanah, which is $10 per child. 

To register for childcare, please visit our web site or contact Bob Greenberg at 

bgreenberg@templebeth-el.net for a form. Payment should be received by Tuesday, September 11th. 

Please contact Bob at the TBE office by the due date to confirm that your registration was 

received. We hire the appropriate number of childcare workers to care for those children who are 

pre-paid and registered, so unfortunately we cannot accept walk-ins or offer refunds.

Please use the Highland Avenue entrance to our lower school wing. Plan to check on your child every 

hour. You must label all items belonging to your child. In keeping with our observance of the holiday, 

please remember not to send writing or coloring items. Snacks will be provided for children 3 and 

older. For children under 3, please provide kosher food. A crock pot will be available for heating
