Post on 06-Jan-2019
From the Desk of Rabbi Bruce Benson
Thanks - תודהthat’s our key word for the month of
November. There is much going on to be thankful for.
Don’t underestimate the power of thanks. How good does
it feel when someone simply says “thank you” for your volun-
teer work, your help or any mitzvah you add to the mitzvah
bank of our world.
November 3rd we are beginning our re-JEW-vination pro-
gram to share Judaism and our thanks for all it gives us with
our treasures - our post b’nai mitzvah youth, going to Univer-
sal Studios in Orlando for an evening of horror and scariness.
(No - it’s not the night before their b’nai mitzvah service again).
Wednesday November 21 at 7:00, we once again come together to share our
thanks with our brothers and sisters from different faith communities at our Commu-
nity Interfaith Service, this year held at Faith Congregational Church, 2199 SW
Savona Blvd. Hopefully, many of you will be able to fill our blue bags this year, do-
nated through the kindness of Dignity Memorial Chapels which will be available
during the first week of November. Again, our combined children’s choir will sing
the “Turkey song” and we will respond: “Hurray, hurray, hurray” as we give
thanks for all our blessings. But, by Chanukah we quite often forget our blessings (
(ברכות
Your officers and board are working very hard to bring programming we can
be proud of that will enlighten and entertain us as well as help us raise money to fi-
nancially sustain us on our journey. It is important that we support these events as
without them, we must turn to our congregation to raise these needed funds. Why
not support the temple and have a great night out at the same time?
On November 10 at the Lyric theater, we are presenting internationally known
PETER YARROW from PETER, PAUL and MARY. Through the amazing efforts
of Tobi Rettig, this event brings us not only enormous pride, but a chance to dra-
matically help our financial bottom line. Please - spread the word, buy a ticket and
come to a great night out.
I look forward to seeing you there as it will be a GREAT night for us.
Check the Shofar and all of our media resources for upcoming events as there
are some wonderful events planned for this year. Give thanks for our temple commu-
nity and be an active participant.

Let’s greet and make visitors (and our own mem-
bers) feel welcome when they come to services, in
the social hall, after services or after special
events.
Invite people you don’t know to sit with you and
get to know the people that come to our Temple.
Saving seats in the Social Hall for the people we
already know is not the way to meet and get to
know our fellow congregants and guests.
Help support the Temple…………
By participating in our
programs and fund-raisers
The President’s Communication Corner ……………… October has been a great month! So much happened! First there was our potluck dinner followed
by a Simchat Torah service and the consecration of our newest religious school students. Welcome, Zach-
ary Birch Farragut, Aaron Birch Farragut, and Briana Zeff. And speaking of religious school students,
mazel tov to Ayden Adar on becoming a bar mitzvah and Marisa Roth on becoming a bat mitzvah. From
consecration to b’nai mitzvah, we are so proud of our students!
Another group I want to recognize is our new members who we officially welcomed with a special
Shabbat in their honor. We look forward to their participation as members of our TBEI family.
What tests our knowledge while providing a ton of fun? The answer: Trivia. A great time was had
by all who attended our Trivia Night last month. Moving on to this month, please join us at the Peter Yar-
row concert November 10. Not only will it be a fun and musical evening, but part of the proceeds will be
donated to Operation Respect, an organization that works to help create bully-free environments for children
and youth.
In addition to having fun, we have many opportunities to learn: the Adult Education series, Torah
Study on Saturday mornings, adult B’nai Mitzvah class, and Brotherhood and Sisterhood speakers to name
just a few. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Speaking of decisions, this month is our semi-annual Congregation meeting when we decide who
will be our congregation’s representatives on the Nominating Committee. The meeting is scheduled for
Sunday, November 18 at 2:00 p.m., and a quorum is necessary to conduct business.
Be sure to check out the many upcoming events listed in the Shofar each month. The temple offers
something for everyone. Find your “something” and I’ll see you there….

a big thank you to George from Aycock for the wonderful lunch which was provided by Ay-
cock Funeral Homes. Our guest speaker told us about the upcoming amendment questions on

nation of the ballot questions.

Ritual Committee Report ~ ~
We have members from all branches of Judaism at TBEI and with this in mind, at the Ritual Com-
mittee meeting on October 24th we arrived at the following suggestions after a long discussion
about suitable attire at services. It is our hope to teach our children, by example, to distinguish a
social event from a religious service. The committee decided to re-establish appropriate attire for
accepting honors or aliyot on the bema. For example:
Blouses or dresses covering the shoulders
Shirts with collars on men
Tallit optional for an Aliyah
Shorts should not be worn at religious services
It is the committee’s desire to teach our children and families respect and appreciation for the ho-
liness of the sanctuary.
To request an honor or an Aliyah during a Shabbat service contact the Temple office.
Thank you to the following members for sponsoring an Oneg or Kiddush in the past month:
Benjamin & Diane Goldberg in memory of Diane’s parents
Cheryl & Dean Lieberman in honor of Ayden’s Bar Mitzvah
Temple in honor of our New Members
Debra & Amir Roth in honor of Marisa’s Bat Mitzvah

Our Monthly TBEI Library Book Review……………….by Sheilah Korinow
Today, at the push of a button, technology can provide us information about almost everything.
But sometimes it's overkill - we are asked to google through many pages listed on our computer
just to search for one small bit of information. That's why it's oftentimes more convenient to look
at a book (in our library, of course), that can provide you a lot of information in an organized manner. You have
immediate knowledge of what's in the book, in what manner it is presented, and usually a helpful forward and/or
introduction to give you the purpose of the book and any significant ideas related to it.
The book I am reviewing is Great Moments In Jewish History, co-authored by Robert Slater and his wife, Eli-
nor. Our library also has some of their other books. This book stated: "the Slaters bring to life events that have
shaped the character and essence of the Jewish people and determined the course of their dramatic history." The
book is divided into four distinct sections; Moments of Courage, Moments of Joy, Moments of Despair, and Mo-
ments of Creativity." Each event is approximately three pages in length, yet contains many interesting and infor-
mative bits of information you may not know. Also, each article begins with an overview of the event, reminding
you of any essential facts of what may be helpful before you read.
I will list each section of the book, underline it, and will then provide you with a few of the names of the arti-
cles under each of the sections so you can have an idea of what the book contains and how varied the articles
seem to be. Articles appear from biblical until modern times.
Under Moments of Courage
Moses Leads Children of Israel Out of Egypt - 13th century B.C.E.
Israelites Receive the Ten Commandments - 1230 B.C.E.
Anan ben David Leads the Karaites - 760 C.E.
Rothchild's Found a Banking Dynasty - 1792
Brandeis Becomes First Jewish Supreme Court Justice -
1916
Sarah Schenirer Founds Beth Jacob School - 1918
Knesset Stormed Over Reparations Issue - 1952
Israelis Capture Adolf Eichmann - 1960
Brother Daniel Denied Israeli Citizenship -1962
Entebbe Hostages Rescued in Daring Mission -1976
Under Moments of Joy
Abraham Passes Test of Faith - 18th century B.C.E.
Cyrus Permits Jews to Return to Zion - 538 B.C.E.
Rebecca Gratz Introduces First Sunday School - 1838
Reform Temple Founded in New York - 1845
Ben-Yehuda Revives Hebrew Language -1897
United Nations Votes to Establish Jewish State - 1947
First Woman Rabbi Ordained - 1972
Catholic Church Reconciles with Jews - 1994
Great Moments In Jewish History includes so much more than the above articles. Look at its Table of Contents
and you will be pleasantly surprised by all it holds. It is a treasure-chest for many, many events By reading it,
you'll read things you already know, much more that you don't know, but in addition to that, in one way or an-
other, you will understand how and why these events have had an important influence on our history - political,
historical, cultural, and more. To check out this book, take the slip of paper from between its pages, located on
top of the file cabinet on the right side of the library, fill it out and place it in the small wooden box, also on top of
the cabinet. When you return the book, just leave it where you found it. Enjoy! There is much to be gained from
reading this book, or even parts of it.
Under Moments of Despair
Zealots Commit Suicide at Masada - 73 C.E.
Crusades Reach Holy Land - 1099
First Blood Libel Unleashed - 1144
Ford Sponsors Hate Literature - 1920
