contact Sandee at sandee@lextai.org if you wish to take this class. The
cost of the class is $36 per person. Reservations for the class must be

THE IDEAS AND HISTORIC ORIGINS OF SECULAR
JEWISHNESS

This series will look at the history, culture, politics, and legacy of
“worldly” (Yiddish veltlich), i.e. secular, non-religious Jews, from the roots of
this population in Eastern Europe to its fullest flowering in America where it
continues to evolve and influence our culture and politics at all levels.

We will meet in the Sisterhood/Brotherhood lounge at 10 AM on the
following dates: December 13, January 10, February 14, March 14, April 11,
and May 9.

Please join Peter Schogol on the above dates for knowledge and
discussion on the origins of secular Judaism.

Judaism you might check this out:

NEW PRAYER BOOK, MISHKAN T’FILAHJ
COMING JANUARY 22, 2010!

We will begin to use this prayer book on January 22,
2010. Here are two quotes from the prayer book chosen
by Worship Committee members Anita Mersack and
Marilyn Lieber.

“Grant peace, goodness and blessing, grace, kindness
and mercy, to us and to all Your people Israel.

Bless us our Creator, all of us together, through the light
of Your Presence.

Truly through the light of Your Presence, Adonal our
God, You gave us a Torah of life—the love of kindness,
justice and blessing, mercy, life, and peace.

May You see fit to bless Your people Israel at all times,
at every hour, with Your peace."

“We are called unto the destiny uncertain.

Yet we offer thanks for what we know.

For health and healing, for labor and repose,

For renewal of beauty in earth and sky,

For that blend of human—holy which inspires compas—
sron,

And for hope eternal, promising light.

For life, for health, for hope,

For beautiful bountiful blessing,

All praise to the Source of Being."

NEW MEMBER INFO
TAl would like to welcome the following families to our

congregation
Sarah Preis and Eli Hopson

Sarah and Eli are getting married at TAI in
May 2010. Sarah graduated from the University of
Chicago Law School in June 2009 and moved to
Lexington to clerk for Chief Judge Jennifer B. Coffman
of the Eastern District of Kentucky.

Eli will graduate in December from the
Georgetown University Law Center in Washington,
DC. Eli’s mother and step-father Rona Roberts and
Steve Kay, have been kind enough to host Eli and
Sarah in Lexington for the year.

Sarah is a member of the Wildcat Masters
Swim Team. Eli enjoys ultimate Frisbee and singing.

They are interested in social events for young
professionals, and volunteering to serve dinner at a
homeless shelter.

THE PRESIDENT’S LlNE
Samye Miller Stith

 

Our Temple Adath Israel has existed for 105 years.
Without careful financial planning, we cannot be certain of
our Temple‘s future. | ask that when you make year end
contributions, please make the Temple your top priority.

The Board and staff are doing the best we can, but we
cannot survive without everyone’s financial support. I ask
that when you do estate planning or prepare your will,
include the Temple. | ask that when you receive your
annual membership commitment letter, remember that we
are much more than a religious organization; we are a family
of many and we owe our children the promise of our
Temple‘s existence for future generations of our Jewish
community.

The Temple has faced a difficult year financially.
The Board felt it prudent to freeze the budget, freeze all staff
salaries, and eliminate the position of Program Coordinator.
These decisions were extraordinarily painful as Rabbi Marc,
John, Jane, Sandee, Rachel, and Toni are not “just staff’ but
are our friends and Temple family. Rabbi Marc offered to
freeze his salary for the year even before we began the
budget process. In addition, the staff was totally supportive
and understanding of the decisions the Board made and put
the welfare of the Temple first.

While our Temple is a vibrant, active community,
financial constraints prevented some additional activities we
hoped to bring to the Temple. Our accomplishments this
year with programming have been largely due to the
generous contributions of time and talent from giving
members of our congregation.

One such activity was the Holocaust Symposium,
held the first two Sundays of November. This lecture series
was hosted by the Adult Jewish Growth Committee,
organized by Ken Slepyan. This was the direct result of the
incredibly generous donations by Dave and Caroline
Schneidt of the planning, materials, and artifacts for the
Temple’s Holocaust Museum. Such a museum is a truly
unique accomplishment for a Temple our size. Two
common threads the excellent Symposium speakers wove
through their presentations were how Jewish communities
have survived throughout history and the contributions these
communities bring to any society of which we are a part.
Awareness of these threads reinforces our obligation to
ensure Temple Adath Israel's survival in Lexington.

This has been a difficult article for me to write.
Asking for money is not easy; but our Temple needs your
financial help as well as your time and personal involvement.

V\fith wishes for a Happy Chanukkah and a Healthy
Happy New Year to each of you,

vam

PRESCHOOL NEWS

Tammy Bradley, Director

November is always a fun
month for our Preschoolers. The
weather turns a little cooler and we enjoy our playtime
outside even more! All of our classes continue to learn
about Autumn and all of the changes that take place
throughout the season in our everyday lives.

All of the children will enjoy learning about Fire safety
and prevention with a visit from the Lexington Fire
Department. Our transportation week will be filled with
fun, with all of the classes having a special tricycle and
bike day for their class.

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday
to celebrate with preschoolers. We learn
about the relationship of the Native Americans and the
Pilgrims, and how they helped each other to live. The
holiday theme is not complete until we come together
as a preschool family to share in a special Feast of
Thanksgiving. Thank you to everyone who brought in
special foods or paper goods to make the event so
special.

Chanukkah will also be a very special time
in our classes. We will hear Chanukkah stories,
learn some Chanukkah songs, and celebrate by
lighting the menorah, playing with dreidels, eating
latkes, and making gifts for our families. We are
looking fon/vard to celebrating this holiday with all our
families.

I can’t believe I’m saying this already (where
does the time go?), but registration for the 2010-2011
school year begins January 11, 2010. The enrollment
policy is as follows:

January 11-January 29 — registration for class
members and siblings. A sibling is defined as a sister
or brother ofa child attending TAI Preschool presently
or who has graduated from the four year old class.
February 1 — February 15 registration for Temple
members

February 16- registration open to current waiting list
and public.

. We are looking forward to another great month
at the Preschool and we would like to wish everyone a
very Happy Chanukkah and Happy New Year!

WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IN A
MEDICAL EMERGENCY?

Nine Temple members who took the Red Cross
CPR/AED course on November 8, feel much better
prepared. CPR means cardio pulmonary resuscitation
and AED stands for automatic electric defibrillator. All of
us felt that it was a very worthwhile way to spend a few
hours on a Sunday afternoon.

We learned:

How to recognize a medical emergency situation
and make appropriate decisions for care until the
ambulance arrives.

How to administer CPR

How to use the automatic defibrillator

How to deal with someone in stress

What to do in a breathing or choking emergency.

We also received a helpful, illustrated booklet from the
Red Cross.

Would you like to take a CPR class? If so, please
call the Temple or Judy Engelberg at 266-2653. If there is
an adequate response, we will organize another class for
a Sunday afternoon next year.

 

BOARD NOMINATIONS

The Nominating Committee will select nominees
for the upcoming term on the Board of Trustees.

addresses of at least five members in good standing of the
Temple, no such signature to be valid if the signator has
signed more nominating petitions in any one year than the
total number to be elected to the Board of Trustees. Such
petition must additionally have the signature of the
nominee(s) thereon to indicate consent. In order to be
valid and acceptable, the nominating petitions shall be
mailed to the chairperson of the Nominating Committee,
Ken Slepyan, in care of Temple Adath Israel, 124 N.
Ashland Ave, Lexington, KY 40502.and must be
postmarked on or before February 1, 2010. Serving on
our board is rewarding and exciting work. lf you are
interested in becoming a member of our board, call Ken
Slepyan at 226-9145 to let him know.

FROM THE RABBI

Well, it is December, the new
secular year is around the corner. The
calendar by which most of us mark

—- our days, is about to turn over. A new
year number, a new year of experiences, a new year
of opportunities, and a new year of trials are on the
horizon. Aside from the environmental impact
quandary involving how we will properly dispose of
the many 2009 calendars that we never used, I have
to wonder how we want to fill the pages ofthe
calendar for 2010.

We talk about New Year's Resolutions in
terms of things we want to do differently in our lives.
We want to eat less, work out more, spend more time
with family, or more time paying attention to work.
While not completely egocentric (presumably family
and work time benefits others, too), each of these
"usual suspect" promises really is all about the "l"
more than the "We." How many of us make
resolutions to serve at a soup kitchen, mentor in our
schools, volunteer at Temple, get involved in
supporting wonderful projects in the community, be
kinder to our neighbors, or anything else that first and
foremost takes care of someone else? The way I see
it, we enjoy a great many blessings in our lives, so
many that we take many for granted. The Torah's
response to this very real human trait is to require
that we give a regular portion of our love, our energy,
our time, and our resources to the work of the priests
at the Temple altar and for the poor. The Torah calls
this a tithe, a call to give almost the cost for the
blessings that we enjoy daily. The truth is that in
doing more, we get to enjoy more.

We have a month to create next year’s game
plan. Certainly many opportunities present
themselves along the way, but the ones that we
create often have to be well planned. Let’s wish each
other good luck in making next year far more
productive for ourselves and also for the community
in which we live.

 2009-2010 TEMPLE MINI-U COURSES

Temple Adath Israel’s “Mini University”
is now enrolling for classes for the Fall 2009
term! Mini U courses emphasize discussion
and hands-on activity, with short readings to be
done in class. No prior knowledge of the
subject matter is necessary—just a willingness
to participate in conversation about a subject
that interests you!

You may take as many Mini U. courses
per academic year as you like. The one time
registration fee of $18.00 covers all courses for
the 2009-2010 academic year (though some
courses may charge additional fees for class
materials). Enrollment is open to the entire
Jewish community. Here are the courses
offered for the Fall 2009 term:

Pies and Pastries with Eden
Myers (Sundays, 6:30 pm at TAI, Dec. 6,
Dec. 20, Dec. 27; an additional $20 per
student for ingredients, enrollment limit: 10;
childcare can be arranged with advance
nofice)

Oh my, oh my- learn pastry and pie! In
these six sessions we'll learn basic pie theory,
discuss ingredient types and ingredients within
each type, and make some scrumptious
seasonal treats you can serve to your family
and holiday guests. How about pecan pie,
cranberry pie, pumpkin pie, rugelach and
hamantaschen? Definitely a ‘hands-on’ class--
aprons highly recommended!

Eden Myers is a mother, veterinarian
and farmer. All these roles come together in
her love of cooking and in the act of preparing
food. Being able to share that skill with others
is fulfilling in yet another dimension.

To enroll, or if you have any
questions, contact Ken Slepyan at
kslepyan@transy.edu or call at (859) 226-
9145 (do not call the Temple). You may
enroll at any time, but the sooner the better
to guarantee your place! Please make
checks out to “Temple Adath Israel” and
write on the memo line “Mini U.”

Views expressed by Mini U
instructors are their own and do not
necessarily reflect those of Temple Adath
Israel.

SIM SHALOM NEWS Volume 4 #2
By Jesse Weil

This month we have some very big news. We
now have a real chance to get our own premises, where
we'll be in control of the space, have an office for the
Rabbi, have enough storage, have a place for our library,
which languishes in cartons in someone's basement, and
can finally have our beautiful Torah Ark out of storage
and in the worship space where it belongs! As you know
from past newsletters, we have been suffering for several
years with the constraint of doing all our programs in
rooms made available to us in the Budapest JCC, called
Balint Haz. Though it has a central location, none of the
other things listed above are available there. The rooms
are used by many other groups, and are serviceable, but
not so attractive. After every program and service,
everything must be packed away in cupboards, or carried
up two floors to a storage room. it‘s a very unsatisfactory
way to carry on our congregational life!

After years of searching, we've found a flat in a
good central neighbourhood which looks almost ideal. It
has six large rooms, three of which can be opened up
into each other to make a space for services which will
seat 60-70 people, or serve for study sessions for groups
of various sizes. The other three rooms will provide
offices for the rabbi and executive secretary, and a place
for our library. There is a kitchen to use for our frequent
pot-luck meals after services or on holidays. It's on the
second floor, making it relatively free from security
worries, and the business below us is not likely to object
to our holiday celebrations with the kids running around,
as happened in the last flat we occupied 4 years ago.
We're very excited about the prospects of having a good
looking and welcoming place for our services and other
programs, and are confident that it will make more
families want to join the congregation. Our president,
Gabor Radvanski, is now in the middle of negotiating the
lease conditions. lfwe're lucky, we'll even qualify for a
government grant to pay for some, if not all, of the
renovation costs.

The only fly in the ointment is that some recent
consequences of the world wide financial crisis have
adversely affected our income, and what looked six
months ago like an adequate income flow to support
paying rent has suddenly become inadequate. But we're
determined not to lose this chance to get into our own
placell Our solution is to do a strong campaign among
our members, asking them to increase their dues and
donations to enable us to take advantage of this
opportunity to get into decent premises. Our dues haven't
been increased for almost 10 years, and there are now
many people who either belong or support us who can
afford considerably more than they are currently paying.
We need to raise between $15,000 and $20,000. Wish
usluckH

SISTERHOOD NEWS

Thanks to all who attended dinner
at Portifino's in November. It was
great to see everyone.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful
Thanksgiving. As we approach the busy holiday
season Sisterhood will be joining the Chavurat
Chochma program on December 4th. Why have
two Hanukah parties when we could have one
bigger one?? This should be a great time, watch
for more information if you have not already gotten
it.

 

Also, the Gift Shop hours are extended
during the holidays and hours are posted or you
can call the Temple . Stop by the Gift Shop. There
are some beautiful gifts. Thanks again to Mindy
Heller and all of her helpers for working so hard to
display and sell all of the merchandise.

L'Shalom,
Mimi Kaufman
