TEMPLE
ADATH ISRAEL
BULLETIN

 

JANUARY 10, 1992 VOLUME 59

NO. 10 6 SHEVAT 5752

 

IN THIS CORNER

The Jewish National Fund celebrates
its 90th Anniversary this year. This is an
organization that should be applauded for
its quiet and dignified manner in helping
to restore the Jewish homeland, as well as
resettle Jewish refugees from Russia and
Ethiopia.

Today, when we think of JNF, we think
of trees. Israel, once a land covered with
trees, was devastated and deforested over
the years by foreigners
marching through in all
directions, fighting wars
and not caring about how
the land was left. Barren
at the end of the 19th
century, the Jewish
National Fund restored and
continues to restore to this land the
beauty she once possessed. By the early
1980‘s, over 100,000,000 trees had been
planted in Israel. All of us who have
contributed should feel proud.

But it is important to understand
that JNF was originally organized, not to
plant trees, but to buy land for the Jewish
people in the land we now know as the State
of Israel.

Tiflull 113

In 1897, at the first
Zionist Congress, under
the leadership of Theodor
Herzl, Professor Zvi
Hermann Shapira had the
idea for the Jewish
National Fund. The
purpose was to buy land piece—by—piece with
"pennies" and small contributions as well
as large gifts. Thus while some Zionist
leaders worked very hard to create the
Jewish state, the Jewish people as a whole
bought back the barren lands. Many of us
may remember the "Blue Box" placed in our
Jewish kitchens into which we made small
contributions with our change. This box
was the idea of Prof. Shapira.

In 1904 the first success of JNF came
with the purchase of 324 acres of land in
Ben Shemen and 500 acres in Hulda. By 1908
a large property was purchased in the Lower
Galilee, the famous Kibbutz Degania.

Once Israel became a State, JNF
stopped purchasing land and concentrated on
improving the land and land reclamation.
They paved roads, built parks, planted
forests, drained swamps, and created
reservoirs. The work of the Jewish
National Fund is not an abstraction in
1992. These works are all tangible and
have a direct impact on the lives of the
Israeli people.

Over the course of this century, the
festival known as Tu B'Shevat, or Rosh
Hashanah L'ilanot, the New Year of the
Trees, was adopted by JNF. At this time,
in almost every Jewish institution around
the world, money is collected to plant
trees in Israel. It is a way that we as
Jews, living in the Diaspora, can feel at

one with Israel and contribute to the job
of reclaiming the land.

At TAI, we have not had a good tree
planting drive in recent years and it is
time that we re-energize this important act
of giving. Trees are $7 and may be planted
in memory or in honor of someone. Please
send your contribution to TAI and we will
forward the money to JNF. All trees
planted will be credited to the TAI
Religious School.

Israel is a part of who we are today
Agree or disagree with her
policies, we still need to help the people
and the land. JNF is a wonderful, special
way to do this.

ARZA NEWS

A REFORM SYNAGOGUE THAT WASN'T

 

Once again, the ignorance of most
Israelis about the non-Orthodox streams of
Judaism has resulted in a Reform
congregation being shut out of a
community's religious structure. It
happened in the summer of 1991 in Ramat
Hasharon, a suburb of Tel Aviv. The Reform
congregation, which has been meeting in
temporary quarters, wished to construct a
synagogue at its own expense in a new
community center being put up on public
land. When the local city council met in
July, however, it rejected the proposal,
even though Orthodox synagogues are
routinely given land for this purpose. The
vote went against the Reform congregation,
8—6, despite the fact that Ramat Hasharon
has a population that is primarily young,
professional, and left—wing. The primary
opponent, basing his information on an old
Encyclopedia article, accused the Reform

movement of being anti—Zionist and of
dividing the Jewish people.

The Israel Religious Action Center
(IRAC), an advocacy center sponsored by
ARZA, has taken up the battle for the
synagogue, and intends to take the case to
the Israeli Supreme Court. To avoid such
incidents in the future, it is also working
to educate Israeli political leaders about
Progressive Judaism through special
seminars in Israel and the United States.
Next May, it is bringing eight Kensset
members to the United States for a two—week
seminar on Reform Judaism, the fourth such
seminar it has organized.

You can support the work of the
Israel Religious Action Center by joining
ARZA, which created and finances the
Center. For more information, contact the
Temple office.

REFORM LEADERS PRAISE NFTB & JCS

In his presidential address at the
November, 1991 UAHC biennial in Baltimore,
Union president Rabbi Alexander Schindler
observed that "Over the years,
Brotherhood's dedication to our religious
community have been many and substantial.
NFTB pioneered adult Jewish education in
our movement. The men of Brotherhood were
among the first to reach out to the
Christian community in an organized
dialogue and in the process they nurtured
an altogether remarkable educational
vehicle, the Jewish Chautauqua Society, the
most extensive Jewish educational program
of its kind in North America, if not the
world.

Generations of Christian college
students have gained a greater appreciation
of Jews and Judaism because of this
endeavor. And countless generations of
Jewish men and women on campus have
deepened their knowledge of our spiritual
legacy...Insofar as the Jewish tradition
deems a child's true father to be he who
provides for sustenance and education, our
movement can claim patrimony form NFTB."

At the NFTB board meeting in
Baltimore, incoming UAHC chairman,
Merrians commended NFTB for its
contributions to the UAHC over the years
and said that he looked forward to
increased cooperation in the future.
particular, he praised JCS's new film,
”Abraham and His Children", an interfaith
dialogue program whose impact will be felt
"for years to come."

Rabbi Adland is one of the many JCS
lecturers. Since coming to Lexington he
has taught ”Contemporary Judaism" at
Lexington Theological Seminary four times
under the auspices of JCS, as well as a
recent course at Midway College. Along
with these courses, Rabbi Adland has
lectured at Georgetown College, Lees
College, St. Catherine's College,
Campbellsville College, UK, LCC, and
various high schools under JCS sponsorship.

SINGLES STEERING COMMITTEE

During the past year Rabbi Jim Simon
of the UAHC and Annette have talked
extensively about the idea of forming a
UAHC Midwest Regional Singles Coordinating
Council which would include "single"
representatives from each congregation in
the Midwest Region. This council is an
opportunity for singles to become
acquainted, to network, share successful
programs, provide resources and examine
ways that Reform Congregations and the UAHC
could be more helpful with respect to
addressing the special needs of single
Jews.

All of us are deeply committee to
this very important concept and hope that
you will be excited about an upcoming event
that we are sponsoring together in Kansas
City. The weekend is titled "Jazz it Up in
KC". Come meet singles from 14 states to
be held in Kansas City during the weekend
of March 27—29, 1992. This weekend will be
sponsored by the UAHC and hosted by B'nai
Jehudah. It will include social,
educational and religious programming as
well as an opportunity for the Regional
Singles Council to meet for the first time
and explore future possibilities and goals.
The target age for this first meeting is g;
and above. Other programs will be offered
for other age groups.

LEXINGTON CLERGY‘S
CAMPAIGN
FOR THE HOMELESS

LEXINGTON CLERGY’S CAMPAIGN FOR THE
HOMELESS. Our goal is $100,000. The money
will be collected by the United Way, but
administered and distributed by a group of
clergy representing 9 different
dominations. Every penny collected except
the cost of printing publicity materials
will be given away to local agencies whose
responsibility is to help the hungry and
homeless. $100,000 may seem large, but
requests from agencies soliciting these
funds is already greater than $450,000.

The fund drive begins January 3lst
and concludes February 9th. Every member
of Temple Adath Israel will receive a
letter from me with an envelope enclosed.
I am asking for only $3 per person per
family of this congregation. Please
contribute. Your participation will help
in an effort to unite every Temple and
Church in Lexington.

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

STOP AND THINK...

For the cost of one soft drink, a hungry
child can receive one day's supply of food
from God's Pantry.

For the cost of pizza for a family of four
($14.00), eight emergency services (food,
shelter, clothing) can be provided to
homeless at The Salvation Army.

For the cost of a pizza for a family of
four ($14.00), a family of five can receive
a six day supply of food from God's Pantry.

EDUCATION

LET'S LEARN SERIES TO LOOK AT REFORM
JUDAISM

Our congregation is based on the
philosophy and principles of Reform
Judaism. Many of our Temple‘s membership
were raised as Reform Jews in Reform Jewish
homes and learned about Reform Judaism in
their youth. But an ever—increasing number
of Temple members are not from Reform

Jewish backgrounds. Either these Temple
members come from more traditional homes or
from non-Jewish homes. Therefore, it is
important to consider the basis and
directions of Reform Judaism and living a
Reform Jewish life.

Mark your calendar and plan to attend
the three part program beginning Wednesday,
January 29th. The evening begins at 7:30
PM.

With the use of an exciting
video, we will explore "The
Roots and Rationale of Reform

January 29 -
February 12
February 26

Judaism". This is an
interactive video.
Instructor: Rabbi Adland

IN THIS CORNER

At the UAHC Biennial convention, Rabbi
Alexander Schindler, president of the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC).
discussed the forces the Reform Jewish
movement must confront
for it to survive in the
future. At the top of his
list was Jewish literacy.
Rabbi Schindler’s
contention is that without
a knowledgeable adult
Jewish population. then who will teach the
children what it means to be a Jew, live as a
Jews, and act as a Jew. If the children are
unable to learn or understand the practical and
spiritual aspects of Judaism because no one
can teach them, then what will become of our
Jewish future is in serious doubt.

At the Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony and
Confirmation, the idea that life long Jewish
study is an obligation incumbent on every Jew
is stressed. I sincerely believe that the youth
participating in these ceremonies, listening to
these words, as well as those attending these
life cycle events, acknowledge the need to
continue learning. Yet, when they look around
and see very little adult study taking place, or
very few adults, including their parents,
studying they ask the inevitable question, "Why
should I?“ As adult Jews, we must establish
ourselves as role models for our youth not only
in the areas of ethics and morals, but in
continuing Jewish education and practice.

Rabbi Schindler touched on many
aspects and areas of study in his address, as

well as populations within our community that
must be targeted. In particular, he discussed
the area of study which
frightens most Reform Jews
”/5 or any Jew with a relatively
I _ weak Jewish background:
' text.

lllllllll Jews are the people
of the book. We feel it is
important to study and learn. We believe this
is also important for our children and anticipate
them attending college, while encouraging
them in their secular educational pursuits.

While we have pushed the secular
study, we have turned aside from the area of
study which sustained our ancestors for
centuries: Bible and Talmud and
Midrash. We have let those fascinating
and important areas of Jewish spiritual and
academic interest fall by the way side as we
further assimilate into American life. The soul
of Judaism is the book, the text, the sentence,

    

 

the word. As an adult community we must find
the time to study the ancient tomes as their
words and wisdom are alive for us even today.
What we learn we can pass on to our children.
Let us invigorate their lives with the thirst for
Jewish learning by learning ourselves.

As Reform Jews, we emphasize gem/'Iut
hasadim, deeds of loving kindness. The deed,
helping others less fortunate is most important
within Reform Jewish philosophy. Yet, these
deeds of lovingkindness need the moorings in
text. We need to know where the call comes
from, the reasons why we do what we do as
Jews. Part of being a caring community as a
congregation is not only in caring for each
other at joyous and sad occasions, but
nurturing the spirit through study and
preparing for the future by understanding the

The President’s Spot

From time to time an issue arises at
a Board of Trustees meeting that warrants
discussion on a broader perspective than
offered at the meeting. Whenever this
happens, it is important to communicate
this issue to the congregation as a whole.
Such an issue was introduced at the January
7th meeting.

A motion was made and properly
seconded to make Temple Adath Israel a
smoke-free environment. After a lengthy
discussion the motion was tabled until the
March 3rd meeting in order for the trustees
and congregants to have adequate time to
discuss the pros and cons of this issue.

HZHEIVEUI

Smoking is a personal decision, yet
one that has significant social and
emotional considerations. The purpose of
this article is to inform you of the issue,
not to take a stand on it. It would be
helpful if you would let us know how you
feel about this issue. Please drop a brief
note or post card with your thoughts on
this issue to the Temple office. We would
be pleased to have your thoughts available
prior to the March meeting in order to
provide additional direction to the Board
members.

Thank you for your assistance and
consideration on this issue.

EDUCATION

LET'S LEARN SERIES TO LOOK AT REFORM
JUDAISM

Our congregation is based on the
philosophy and principles of Reform
Judaism. Many of our Temple's membership
were raised as Reform Jews in Reform Jewish
homes and learned about Reform Judaism in
their youth. But an ever—increasing number
of Temple members are not from Reform
Jewish backgrounds. Either these Temple
members come from more traditional homes or
from non-Jewish homes. Therefore, it is
important to consider the basis and
directions of Reform Judaism and living a
Reform Jewish life.

Mark your calendar and plan to attend
the three part program beginning Wednesday,
January 29th. The evening begins at 7:30
PM.

January 29 —
February 12
February 26

With the use of an exciting
video, we will explore "The
Roots and Rationale of Reform
Judaism”.

OUTREACH--FEBRUARY l9TH--
"THE HANUKAH-CHRISTMAS
THING NOW THAT IT IS OVER

Now that the winter holiday season is
behind us, the TAI Outreach program will look
back at this often difficult winter season and
discuss the way intermarried couples handle it.
For some, the celebration of Hanuka and
Christmas posees no special issues. For
others, though, Hanuka and Christmas cause
unwanted anxieties to surface, emotions to
crumble, and family life to be a daily walk on
egg shells.

if you are intermarried, or if you chose
Judaism as a way of life, or if your children
have married non-Jews, then join the TAl‘s
Outreach Group on Wednesday, February
19th, at 7:30 PM, at the Temple.
