President’s Message
Talkin’ bout our generations
By Jonathan Kass, Temple President
I was recently reading a debate, between
several online writers, on the challenges
of communication between the Baby
Boomers, Generation X, and the
Millennials. I’m sure many of you have
heard the various clichés and stereotypes
that often come up in this discussion.
While many online discussions tend to
focus on the impact in the work world
of this clash of generational cultures, we,
at Temple Israel, also find ourselves with
highly engaged congregants from many
generational groups.
We are so fortunate to still have congregational family members
who personally remember World War II. For others, the Kennedy
presidency or the moon landing are their earliest memories. Some
cannot remember a time before the space shuttle or may not
remember the USSR. Still others, particularly those Millennials,
have no memory of a time before the Internet. And if you look
just a little further down the road, our preschoolers today will
never know a time when America hadn’t already had an African
American President.
In Jewish traditional terms, we also span multiple generations.
Many of us grew up in what we now refer to as “classical reform”
congregations, where there may have been little emphasis on
some traditional forms of observance such as kippot and Hebrew
in services. Others grew up in conservative shuls where reform
congregations may have seemed foreign, but for whom now the
reform movement, as embodied at Temple Israel, creates a strong
connection. And some of our congregation didn’t grow up Jewish
at all, having come to Reform Judaism by personal choice, study,
and commitment – or having come to Temple Israel as part of a
family creating a Jewish household, even though their personal
beliefs may be different.
As we embark on another year of exciting programming across the
synagogue, and the board continues its work on the strategic plan,
we will continually need to consider how we reach and engage
across all of these secular and Jewish generational differences.
nights and weekends playing out doors in a neighborhood full
of kids, without technology or scheduled play dates to make it
happen. Today our youth are often leading extraordinarily busy
and structured lives, racing from one activity to another with little
downtime, followed by long evenings of homework that always
seem intended to prepare them for the workload of a kid several
years older. They are also engaged in community service earlier
and earlier.
To remain relevant to this group, we’ll need to remember that they
tend to look for more meaning in where they spend their precious
little free time, as they are under much more schedule pressure in
their daily lives than most of us recall from our own youth.
Meanwhile, many of our Gen Xers are busy raising these kids trying to balance their schedules, get them everywhere they need
to go, and continue to build their own adult lives. Others are midcareer professionals who don’t have large families, and who are
looking for connections based not in their roles as parents, but in
their personal and professional interests.
And of course our Boomers are defined in part today by their pace
towards retirement – I recently heard that about 10,000 a day are
retiring over the next 15 years or so. This is also a generation that
is redefining retirement to not simply be a shift to leisure time, but
also a chance to focus their energies, in a very work-like fashion,
on their passions and their communities.
At Temple Israel, we are so fortunate to have passionate, engaged
congregants that span this wide spectrum of experiences, interests,
needs, and wants. Our goal is to provide programming, services,
and everything in between to enable each of us to connect. I
would welcome your feedback on what you’re looking for from
the Temple and our community, and how you see yourself as part
of our future.
Wishing everyone a
Sweet New Year!
Since our ‘reopening’ we’ve been delivering many services and
events online, via streaming video. For some of our congregation,
it’s a new concept, an exciting option with the power to connect
those who may be unable to attend in person. For our millennials,
raised with the Internet and YouTube, online services cater to their
general expectation to always have access to multiple alternatives
for participation.
Beyond the millennials entering adulthood, we have also seen
an amazing change in what it means to be a child and young
adult in our community. There are many jokes online about my
generation (I’m either a very young Boomer, or a very old Gen
X’er, depending on the study) that still remembers spending

Foundation’s Message
FOUNDATION UPDATEand calendar musings...
By Mark Beizer, Foundation President
Would anyone agree with me that
autumn is a better time for a new year
than January 1? After all, lots of things
change in the fall—for the better,
in my view. The kids (thankfully) go
back to school, which, if you’re lucky,
is some distance away; football arrives
(and baseball finally has meaning...);
the weather cools (but not without
its last throes, as in the normal High
Holy Day heat wave); the brown of
Southern California becomes the norm
across the nation.
But... as Rabbi Moskowitz points out in his HHD greeting in
Long Beach Jewish Life, this is not really the Jewish New Year
anyway – Tishrei is the seventh month of the year, and we can
even choose to celebrate, or as the sages might prefer, observe,
any of four “new years”. Of course, the purpose of a Jewish new
year is spiritual t’shuvah – or, perhaps, the “tithing of animals”
-- not fireworks, inebriation, and short-lived resolutions... And
what the heck happens in January anyway? I mean, besides
clearance sales....
OK, now for the morally uplifting portion of this message...
The Temple Israel Foundation expects this to be a busy year. In
addition to our traditional efforts to build the Foundation’s nest
egg, which supports Temple operations and provides backup
for tough times, we are looking at establishing special funds to
support key staff positions, and to secure the building’s physical
future. More on this effort will follow in subsequent issues of
Kol Yisra’el.
Meanwhile, I am pleased to report that the Temple Board
recently approved two new members of the Temple Israel
Foundation Board of Trustees:
yy Gary Roberts-Gary recently served on the Temple Board.
He termed out (as they say...) and so we grabbed him
and indentured him to our Foundation Board (OK, he
volunteered...). Gary is, of course, also the leader of our
Men’s Club.
yy David Sacks-semi-retired OB/GYN, avatar of both
skepticism and alacrity -- returns to the Foundation board
where he served as president from 2003-05. We’re very
excited to have his experience back with us.
New year or not, on behalf of all of our Foundation Trustees,
have a happy and healthy next twelve months!

This Month’s B’nai Mitzvah
My name is Natalie Petersen and I am
an 8th grader at McAuliffe Middle
Natalie Peterson School. All my subjects in school are
honors classes and I’m also taking
October 18, 2014
a Spanish class. I play competitive
travel soccer with practices three days a week and games every
weekend. I am also participating in the madrichim program
in Torah center. For my Bat Mitzvah project I decided to do
something that is a special interest of mine - dogs. I volunteer
every Friday after school at the SPCA shelter working with
the shelter dogs and helping with laundry. I get to train the
dogs to sit and not to jump or bark so they become even more
adoptable. I am working on my next level so that I can do even
more to help them become happier and more social while they
wait for their forever homes. I want to thank everyone who has
helped me prepare for my important day and all the people who
are traveling so far to be with me. Thank you!

my second home, Elevation Studios
in Signal Hill. I’ve been dancing since
I was three years old and have been a
competitive dancer since I was five. I
dance all styles; ballet, tap. jazz, lyrical,
contemporary and hip hop. For my

facilities for the elderly, chronically ill, and immobile throughout
Southern California. In my spare time I enjoy being with my
friends and family, swimming, and going to the beach. On
October 25, 2014 I will be called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah.
I want to thank everyone who helped me to prepare for this
important day. I look forward to spending this special day with
friends and family!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (& more!)
By Joanne Levy, Newsletter & Publicity
What’s better than a dinner out with
a few close friends? The answer is,
dining al fresco with 40 great Temple
Israel gals. The first Women’s Night
Out of the year, held on August 27th
at Preveza Restaurant in Los Alamitos,
broke all attendance records. There was
much schmoozing, laughing, catchingup and kvelling. In fact, everyone
enjoyed themselves so much, the next Women’s Night Out is
already scheduled for October 29th, and you won’t want to miss it!
Now don’t think that all we do is dine out. We also spend
time feeding the soul. Kathy Krieda, our Social Action Chair,
is developing plans for Sisterhood volunteer dates at Ronald
MacDonald House and collecting warm clothing during the
winter for those in need. On the lighter side, our Programming
Committee, under the able direction of Deb Lewis, has a
full calendar, including a Mah Jongg Party for both new and
experienced players on January 11th. Watch this page for all Save
the Date announcements.
Sisterhood Request for Recipes
For those who also like to dine in, Elyse Gordon
is spearheading the creation of the first
Temple Israel Sisterhood Cookbook in over 20 years!
• Do you have a favorite recipe from your bubbie?
• Do friends always ask for the recipe for that great dessert or
appetizer you bring for Shabbat dinner?
Well, it’s time to share those recipes by submitting them for our
cookbook. We are really excited to be compiling a book filled
with favorites.
Please submitt recipes to Elyse Gordon

Jewish Heritage Trip June 2014
by Rick & Linda Burney
In June, 20 of us including
nine people associated
with
Temple
Israel
journeyed to Eastern
Europe for a Jewish
Heritage experience. The
goal of the trip was to
provide an appreciation
of and insight into Jewish
life in Central and Eastern
Europe, past and present,
coupled with exposure
to the rich cultural life
of these newly free countries. Never far from any discussion
was the Holocaust, the role played by the countries of Eastern
Europe in the Holocaust, and the aftermath in those countries.
The trip mixed difficult days (Auschwitz and Terezin) with
lighter moments (the beauty and culture of Prague, Krakow and
Budapest) and by the end of the journey we had gained valuable
insight into Jewish life in these countries. Most importantly, we
all had an increased appreciation of Israel and why it’s existence
is crucial.
Our journey into the recent past of European Jewry focused on
bearing witness to the Holocaust; we saw the area that was once
the Warsaw Ghetto, visited concentration/death camps, and
observed the post-war and present day impact of the Shoah on
the Jews of Europe. The tour started in Warsaw, Poland. While
a number of monuments and memorials to Jews who perished
in the Holocaust and the Warsaw Ghetto have been built so that
the stories of their lives will not be forgotten, there is little left
of the ghetto infrastructure, which was destroyed by the Nazis
in 1943.
While still in Poland, we visited Auschwitz/Birkenau, and it was
every bit as difficult as one would imagine. My wife, Linda, had a
great-aunt who was a Birkenau survivor and Linda had brought
along her great-aunt’s memoir which documented her horrific
experiences in the camps. Linda read portions to the group and
everyone felt the chilling reality from the testimony of a survivor.
We concluded this most solemn day when we stopped at a small
memorial to those who had perished. Candles and stones were
placed on the memorial and together we recited Kaddish and
quietly walked away.
In the Czech Republic, we went to the Terezin Concentration
camp which was just outside of Prague. While less notorious than
Auschwitz/Birkenau, Terezin served as a slave labor camp and a
transit camp for many who passed through, only to be murdered
in the death camps. In Budapest, we visited the “Shoes on the
Danube” memorial so that we could remember the thousands of
Jews who were murdered on the banks of the Danube River in
1944 by the Hungarian fascist group, the Arrow Cross.
A personal goal for this trip was to understand how the
Central/Eastern European countries that we visited currently
view the Holocaust and whether these countries have taken
any accountability for their role in the Shoah. I received my
answer and it was disappointing. Both Poland and the Czech
Republic have taken the position that the Holocaust was the
sole responsibility of Germany, that they suffered too at the
hands of the Germans and that many millions of people were
murdered by the Germans. They acknowledge that many of the
victims were Jews but assume no responsibility. Hungary has
never truly addressed the Holocaust and even today, there is an
ultra-nationalist faction in the Hungarian government that is
virulently anti-Semitic.
One surprise that we encountered was the “Jewish Renaissance”
that is taking place in Krakow, Poland. Poles, who, until now
were unaware that they had any Jewish ancestry, are discovering
their Jewish roots. Given Poland’s long history of antiSemitism, we all were skeptical about what we were hearing
but the fact remains that the Jewish community of Krakow
is growing and receiving financial assistance from the Polish
government. There is a very active JCC in Krakow that is the
hub of Jewish activity and growth in Krakow. This is in stark
contrast to other countries that we visited where there is little
evidence of a vibrant Jewish community. In Hungary, there is
the very real prospect of a decrease in the Jewish population as
Jews leave for better economic opportunity and safer havens. We
saw numerous synagogues in the Czech Republic and Hungary
that were quite beautiful but they are not used much for religious
purposes and function more as Jewish museums. There are not
enough practicing Jews in these countries to fill the synagogues.
There were parts of the trip that were focused on something
other than Jewish heritage. We visited an ancient salt mine near
Krakow, experienced the stunningly beautiful city of Prague,
visited palaces in both Prague and Budapest and explored caves
in the Czech Republic.
In addition to learning about the horrors Jews experienced in
the 1930s and 1940s, we experienced so much more. We were
reminded of the prominent role Jews had in these countries prior
to the Holocaust, professionally, culturally and in some cases
politically. We heard first hand from a heroic woman whom we
met in Krakow who hid a young Jewish girl in her home for
three years, at great peril to her own family. We heard about the
valiant efforts of the Swiss diplomat Carl Lutz and the Swedish
diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who saved countless Jews in
Budapest in 1944. We learned that there is a revival of Judaism
in Krakow and to a lesser extent, Prague. But the state of affairs
for Jews in Poland and the Czech Republic are still tenuous. The
conditions for Jews in Hungary are dire and many Jews have exit
strategies planned. Jews are under attack in many western and
northern European countries; Poland and the Czech Republic,
ironically, are two relatively safe havens for Jews in Europe.
Finally, history has demonstrated repeatedly that Jews can never
assume themselves to be safe. With this knowledge, Israel is even
more important as a refuge and home for all Jews.

Join us for a very special evening for a screening of the short
film “The Happiest Person in America” and a conversation
with its writer-director-producer Sara Israel.
Is there a mathematical formula for happiness? The Happiest
Person in America explores this possibility, and one woman’s
quest to learn from the one man who has perhaps mathematically
“achieved” it. Set at the cultural intersection of American
Judaism and the Asian American experience, the film tells an
unexpectedly funny and subtly insightful story about what we
lose and what we gain throughout our lives, and how those
transactions affect our identities and our happiness--even while
we must acknowledge that there are some aspects to each of us
that are immutable.
Recreating Creation
Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m.
November 5, 19, and Dec. 3
Teacher: Miriam Wajnberg
The creation account in Genesis is one of the most familiar
stories in the Torah - or is it? What really happens in the creation
story? In this three-session course, we will study the Torah’s
creation story, along with midrashim, interpretive stories, that
elaborate on Genesis. We will compare the creation story of
our tradition with other explanations, including other cultural
narratives and scientific understandings of how the world came
to be. In addition, we will engage in some creation of our own,
using arts and creative writing to deepen our understandings.

Thank you to our Temple Israel
Volunteers at the Drop-in Center
Sponsored BBQ
By Stephanie A. Bussi,
Homelessness Chair, Social Action Committee
We want to thank the wonderful First Congregational Church
staff and volunteers: Arlene Mercer, Executive Director;
Roberta Enriquez, Program Director and Chef; Mark Gagnon;
Sous Chef: Roger Holman: Computer Lab Director and Gary
Shelton, Liaison between the Church and Temple. We need
to include and offer thanks to many of the Drop-In-Centers
regular volunteers.
As I am sure most of you are all aware Temple Israel and the
Drop-In-Center partnered several years ago and consequently
we prepare two yummy dinners for the members of the DIC
each year. The Torah Centers has also been involved as the
Confirmation class has worked several Sundays with the DIC.
The second grade has not only collected money but socks for our
guests. Mitzvah Day programs have also included preparing and
distributing hygiene kits. Members of the DIC are homeless,
poor, working poor, people down in their luck. We have been
seeing not only single people but families. On Sunday August
17th most of the members of Temple Israel and Drop-InCenter’s staff and volunteers came together to prepare and serve
a delicious indoor barbaque meal: chicken, baked beans, green
salad with fruit, deserts including freshly baked cookies and an
assortment of hot and cold beverages We fed approximately 350
guests Everyone thanked up for a wonderful meal and they look
forward to our return.
Our BBQ is now completed, our High Holy Days are quickly
coming upon us, and the world is looking forward to Christmas.
For the past 5 plus years we have been preparing a wonderful
Christmas Dinner for the DIC guests, including 16 roasted
turkeys, gravy, stuffing and all the fixings to make a wonderful
meal. Last year, because of all the many donations, we were able
to give our guests, beanies, gloves and socks---we hope to repeat
the same again this year.
None of the above could be made possible without the
sponsorship of our very generous Temple members, I must say
our Torah Study members are so very generous of not only their
time but their money. The Caring Community also continually
contribute to our coffers, We start work at 8:30 a.m. and
continue until 4 p.m. working in about two hour shifts. Help
is also needed in the form of a planning committee. If anyone
was left off the lists, please forgive me and let me know. Please, I
hope to hear from your soon (562) 436-6302 or email

Interfaith gReetings
by Roni Love, member of the SCIC
Jews are preparing to embark on the High Holy Days season
of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, a time for us to reevaluate
ourselves and where we’ve been; determining how we will be
our best selves in the new year. Though each faith tradition has
its unique ways of dealing with atonement and forgiveness this experience is universal, reaching to devotees of the world’s
religions. Their rituals are, “like the husk of a seed, preserve its
life and make it germinate,” according to Hinduism.co.za.

Of the sin against the gods - Thou art atonement; Of the sin
against men-Thou art atonement; Of the sin against myselfThou art atonement; Of every kind of sin - Thou art atonement.
The sin that I have committed knowingly, and that I have
committed unawares, Of all sins - Thou art atonement. These
words are according to Hinduism’s Yajour Veda.

From early Christianity, the Apostle Paul said that “through the
waters of Baptism those who are born into this world, dead in sin,
are not only born again and made members of the Church, but being
stamped with a spiritual seal they become able and fit to receive the
other Sacraments.” ... To put it most simply, the power, effect,
benefit, fruit, and purpose of Baptism is to save…To be saved,
we know, is nothing else than to be delivered from sin, death,
and the devil and to enter into the kingdom of Christ and live
with him forever. From Luther’s Large Catechism, 1529.

Imam Johari Abdul-Malik on NPR’s Talk of the Nation with
Neal Conan, stated that in Islam there are five fundamental steps
to achieving atonement in Islamic tradition: to admit that what
you’ve done is wrong, to detest it in your heart, to commit to
turn away from it and not to go back, to make restitution, and
then to ask for God’s forgiveness. He also added that because we
punish ourselves over and over again for the same harms or sins
or crimes…self-forgiveness is an important part of this process
of atonement.
Sikhs believe that as the Divine light is in all of us, God already
knows of our “sins. We are to pray to God, for God to forgive us and
cleanse us. Only through God and doing Good Deeds in God’s name
in a way that God is pleased can we obtain salvation - escape from
sin,” according to http://diffen.com/difference.Hin/Christianity_
vs_Sikhism
“The root of atonement is oneness,” Dr. Ed Tick of Soldier’s
Heart writes, “becoming one with”…entails not just awakening
or exchanging feelings of empathy, friendship, or forgiveness but
performing acts of repair that bring what was separated, divided,
or broken back into union.
