Celebrating 10 Years in the Rabbinate at TSTI
Friday, October 30th 7:30 P.M.

A Festive Oneg Shabbat Follows Services

For three millennia the Torah has kept our people alive and
vibrant. How ideal that we will officially kick off the L’dor
Vador Torah Project on Simchat Torah, the holiday that is
defined as “rejoicing in the Torah” and celebrates the
completion of the annual reading of the Five Books of
Moses. During the service the concluding section of
Deuteronomy is sung, and immediately following, the
opening section of Genesis, or B’reishit is chanted. The
writing of a new Torah is a year-long journey, a step-by-
step process that in itself is an act of B’reishit creation. To
learn more about the L’dor Vador Torah Project, visit

and the Creation of our New Torah
Friday, October 9 at 7:30 P.M.
You can have a synagogue without a building (or one under
construction). You can have a congregation without a rabbi
(but who would want that??) You cannot, however, have a
temple without a Torah.
The entire congregation – including children – are invited
to Simchat Torah festivities on Friday evening, October 9,
2009 at 7:30pm. Together we will celebrate our devotion to
the Torah and our pride in being Jewish. We will also mark
the significant milestone of beginning a new Torah, and
welcome a once in a Jewish lifetime experience.

 From the Rabbi’s Study
A few weeks ago I traveled to Washington, DC where I
had the honor of celebrating Rabbi Noah Fabricant’s
installation as a rabbi of Washington Hebrew
Congregation. Rabbi Fabricant is the son of Jeri
Warhaftig and Neil Fabricant and grandson of Lori
Warhaftig, all of whom are long-time members of TSTI.
Rabbi Fabricant became Bar Mitzvah and was
Confirmed on our bimah. He was a thoughtful and
proactive leader of STISY, our senior youth group. As a
young adult, he showed interest in every aspect of
temple. Rabbi Fabricant created the original layout for
the Yom Kippur Afternoon Service we now share each
year. In other words, he was, and is, everything we hope
one of our TSTI young people will be — a
knowledgeable, committed Jew who actively takes part
in the Reform Jewish Community.
As I wrote the words I shared with Rabbi Fabricant and
all who gathered to celebrate him, I was struck by one
central thought — while he IS a product of our Linda
and Rudy Slucker Religious School, his core commitment
to Judaism, his love of study and his on-going drive to
perform tikkun olam did not come from Temple. It
came from home. Rabbi Fabricant grew up in a
household that has always been committed to Jewish
learning and life. It is a home in which the act of
questioning our tradition, challenging our religious
assumptions and then taking the time to study and search
for answers, is paramount. Such an environment allowed
Rabbi Fabricant to learn and grow, becoming an
essential link in our on-going chain of tradition. TSTI
was, fortunately, part of that process but it was not THE
REASON for it.
When Rabbi Fabricant spoke (brilliantly I might add) he
shared a number of memories about growing up at TSTI.
As he shared each one, I was reminded that Jewish
commitment isn’t created with broad brushstrokes.
Rather, it is created one memory at a time and it is each
of those memories, one linked to the next, that creates a
committed Jewish life. (And not just for those who
choose to enter the rabbinate.) But those memories are
only created if we ensure that our young people are
here at Temple to experience them.
Put more generally, a synagogue (be it ours or another)
does not CREATE Jewish commitment. It does not make
Jews. That happens at home. Our many educational
opportunities, be it in our Linda and Rudy Slucker
Religious School, Iris Family Center for Early Childhood
Education or our Adult Education Program, offer a great
deal. They provide numerous opportunities for learning,
growth and community. But they are not the starting
point for that process nor even the most important part
of that process. Each of our homes bear that
responsibility and synagogues, at best, are partners in the
process. And when we work together as partners, we will
proudly be able to say that, together, we have helped
ensure a bright Jewish future.

 The President’s Point of View
I write to you this month at an
extremely opportune time. As I hit
the keyboard, we just completed
our first Board of Trustees (BOT)
meeting of the new year/term.
And as you read this, the Holy
Days are still fresh in our minds –
Sukkot and Installation are upon
us — Simchat Torah and the kick-
off for our Torah Writing Project are just around the corner.
The fall brings with it a renewed sense of energy, color,
excitement and fresh faces in our halls and worship spaces, at our
schools and meeting tables. I truly wish that each of you could
have been a fly on the wall at our first BOT meeting. It was so
motivating to sit at the table with such diverse, unique,
intelligent, talented and action-oriented people. And it was
incredible to hear what they each had to say about what drew
them to temple— and how they can contribute in their roles as
trustees. I feel so honored to be among them.
Their comments led me to think about our congregation as a
whole- and how each of us, as ambassadors in our community,
can impact others- especially in these difficult times. At the same
time, a colleague sent me this YouTube link about an interesting
social experiment from 2007 called “Stop and Hear the Music.” It
was an unlikely coincidence.
Below is the text from the video:
A musician was playing violin in
a Washington DC Metro Station
on a cold January morning in
2007. He played six Bach pieces
for about 60 minutes. During that
time approximately 2,000 people
went through the station, most of
them on their way to work.
After 3 minutes: A middle aged man noticed there was a
musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few
seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.
After 4 minutes: The violinist received his first dollar: a woman
threw the money in the till and without stopping, continued to
walk.
After 6 minutes: A young man leaned against the wall to listen to
him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
After 10 minutes: A 3 year old boy stopped but his mother
tugged him along hurriedly, as the kid stopped to look at the
violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued
to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by
several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced
them to move on.
After 45 minutes: The musician played. Only 6 people stopped
and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued
to walk their normal pace. He collected $32.
After 1 hour: He finished playing and silence took over. No one
noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
This is a real story. The Washington Post, as part of a social
experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities,
arranged the entire scenario. Playing incognito, no one knew the
violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the finest musicians in the
world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, on
a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days prior to this, Joshua
Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the tickets averaged $100
per seat.
The questions raised:
In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we
perceive beauty; do we stop to appreciate it; do we recognize
talent in such an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the finest
musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever
written, with one of the most beautiful instruments .... How many
other things are we missing?
Our lives are busy and our tasks are many. We interact with one
another intuitively, quickly, routinely and we assume, unless we
hear otherwise, that everything is as it should be. Our challenge,
especially now, is to elevate those interactions, listen harder, look
a little more closely- and ensure that we are not missing
something in connection with those in our midst. We are a holy
congregation – a caring community – and the individual things
we do to comfort, tickle, engage and support one another is what
sets us apart from others.
“Stop and hear the music” –look and listen for the clues that
someone else might be in need-- respond— and let our clergy
and our community respond with you.

What is Tent City?
Tent City is an experience that will be offered by STISY on
Saturday, October 24-Sunday October 25 to help high school
students get a first hand experience of what it means to live like
a person who is homeless.
Why are we creating a Tent City at TSTI?
Too often we are unable to relate to those people we help. We
have compassion but lack empathy True understanding comes
through experience.
What do we need from you?
In coordination with our Midnight Run program we are
collecting supplies needed for Tent City. Participants in Tent
City are only allowed to use donated items just like individuals
who are homeless. Everything used at Tent City will be donated
in November to Midnight Run.

 The Iris Family
Before vacation every summer I try to challenge myself with a
task that I’ve had on my permanent ‘to do’ list forever. Maybe it
is finally organizing all my photos, taking that early morning
walk I never make time for or getting in touch with a long lost
relative. This year I really didn’t have much time to think about
my goal before I left for a one week trip out of state. While
traveling to my destination, I thought about my typical options
and realized that I probably kept them on a permanent ‘to do’
list because they were chores, not something one wants to do on
vacation. Instead I decided to choose something challenging
that was also fun.
On the first day at my destination I found my goal; ringing the
bell at the top of a 20-foot rock climbing wall. I signed my life
away (and initialed in 6 places) insuring the climbing company
that I would not sue them for any bodily harm that I might
endure. I was given 4 options of days and times to arrive for my
climb. I needn’t choose immediately, I could just show up at one
of the open times and get on line with the other tourists and
wait my turn. Great for me; I committed without a full
commitment. No one expected me at a certain time so if I
chickened out and never showed up; no one would be the wiser.
Except for myself. Mind you, it wasn’t a fear of heights or a fear
of falling that held me back. It was the knowledge that my body
no longer responds the way it did a few years ago. I may think
and act like a 21 year old, but arthritis and fibromyalgia have
made my body feel ever so much older than that.
As luck would have it, the first open time proved to be during a
rainstorm which closed the facility. The second time it was too
windy. The third time was rainy AND windy. Part of me was
relieved. I could look like I was the brave and capable one in
our group and be able to save face by simply explaining that
there was never an available time for me to climb. That was,
until the very last night of my trip. The sun was out; there was
barely a breeze in the air. There I stood looking up at this
enormous tower of multi-colored hand and foot holds watching
as climber after climber scurried up and down the wall like
Spiderman. As much as I wanted to walk away, there was
something about that bell at the top of the wall that was calling
to me and I wasn’t going to let my achy knees and hips keep me
from trying to ring it. I put on my flexible climbing shoes, my
helmet and my harness and waited in line, praying for a freak
(con’t. on page 8)
Linda and Rudy
Slucker Religious
School
Yesterday my eight month old twins had their first day of
“school”. My husband and I escorted Avi and Eli to their
classroom where the boys quickly settled in while we unpacked
all of their essentials, spoke with their teachers and then happily
went about our day, confident we had made the right decision
about our children’s care.
Well, that’s partly accurate anyway. The truth is that the boys did
quickly acclimate to their new environment, my husband
systematically unpacked their belongings and spoke with their
teachers, but I stood in the hallway crying uncontrollably. I dried
my eyes, took a deep breath, and put on a brave face just long
enough to say goodbye to the boys and mumble a few incoherent
words of thanks to the teachers. Then I was back in the car
crying again, questioning whether I was the worst mother in the
world for choosing to pursue a career rather than staying home to
be with my children. It was then that I realized the first day of
school, whether preschool, grade school, or even high school can
be rougher on the parents than the children.
I spent the rest of the day thinking about why I had such an
“emotional reaction” (to quote my husband) while dropping off
the boys on their first day. I realized it was largely because I was
worried for them. Will they be safe? Will the staff feed them
when they get hungry? Will they hug them when they are sad?
Will they love them even a fraction as much as my husband and I
love them? Will they judge them fairly and be there to defend
them when their peers mistreat them? Will they be kind?
I am certain that this daycare experience will have a major
impact on my children’s development over the next few years.
However, I believe that this experience has had an immediate
and profound affect on me, both as a parent and an educator.
Being a parent requires tremendous trust in those who help
shape our kids. I now know how terrifying it can be to leave my
children with strangers and to trust that they have my children’s
interests at heart. As an educator, I have been blessed with a new
perspective.
As the first day of Religious School approaches, I want to thank
you for putting your faith in our staff and trusting us with your
child’s Jewish education, in addition to their well-being. Please
know that if you should you have any issues or questions

monsoon. Mind you, there were no big lectures about safety, no
hints about how to do this easily, just “It’s your turn, ma’am”.
I’ll spare you the gory details of how long it took me to get
moving, the stops along the way to rest my arms and my attempt
to get the climbing company to tie a longer rope to the end of
that bell so I could reach it from a lower level. What I did want
to highlight was the sense of community spirit that arose from
those watching the activities. Those who had already climbed
and those waiting their turn joined together to help me from
below. They knew it wasn’t easy. They told me where and when
to move my feet when I could no longer see the footholds. They
urged me on when I wanted to stop because my arms were
throbbing. They told jokes to relax me while I was hanging
prone after missing a grab. And they cheered in unison when I
rang that bell. That community of onlookers helped me reach a
That is the spirit I hope that the Iris Family Center imparts for
the children who are part of our school. That spirit of
community, that feeling that we, the parents and teachers of
young learners, can help them get past their challenges and the
hurdles of childhood by urging them on when they are
frustrated and want to give up. It’s hard to learn to tie ones shoes,
pedal a bicycle, taste new foods or recognize letters of the
alphabet. Being a parent is challenging in and of itself, but to
help your child sleep through the night, negotiate a toy store
without a tantrum or potty train within a reasonable amount of
time are daunting tasks.
Whatever your child’s goal, or your personal ones, I hope we, as
the staff of TSTI’s Iris Family Center for Early Childhood
Education, can help you all ring your own virtual bells.

 Caring Community
MOVING FROM DEVASTATION
AND DESPAIR TO RENEWAL
MONDAY OCTOBER 5, 2009 7:30 PM
The Caring Community will hold our kick off event for the year
with a training session open to all TSTI members. Moving from
Devastation and Despair to Renewal will be an experiential,
informative, training session, a wonderful way to learn more
about the Caring Community, meet new friends, and enjoy some
tasty refreshments.
The Caring Community’s mission is to offer support and comfort
in times of difficulty and celebrate with our community in times
of joy. Our goal is to instill a sense of connection to the TSTI
community, for each member, throughout life’s transitions.
We are seeking congregant volunteers to perform the acts of
loving kindness:
* Reaching out with phone calls
* Delivering Shabbat challah to a congregant the Friday after a
funeral
* Delivering TLC (Temple Loving Care) Boxes filled with
goodies and inspirational words
* Acting as friendly Visitors * Writing and sending notes
Renaissance Group
Can’t blame it on the weather, but if I could I would. We missed
the September Bulletin where we wanted to wish all of our
Renaissance Members, their families and our entire
congregation a Most Happy Healthy New Year and so, better late
than never.
Our paid up membership luncheon will take place at
Temple on Sunda
Sundayy, October 4th at 1:30 PM in the Green
Ballroom. So be sure that you have returned your form and
payment and mailed it to Dan Goldberg. Our guest speaker will
be Warren Grover, a past president of the Jewish Historical
Society of Metro West, who will speak on his trip to Syria last
October.
Be sure to mark your calendars for our first trip of our new year.
Tuesday, November 10th we will be travelling to New York by
bus to the Solomon Guggenheim and Cooper Hewitt Museums.
Another great trip under the able chairmanship of Bobbe
Futterman and Bettye Green. More information is to follow.
For each and everyone of our membership, we send our get well
wishes to Florence Seglin and Jules Kaplan.
