From The Rabbi

According to the United States

Department of Labor, about 15

percent of women and 13 percent of

men 25 to 54 years old spend time

caring for an older relative. Among

those 55 to 64, the share arises to

one in five Americans. And

researchers at Duke University report

that 90% of Americans will live with a

serious illness for a year or more

during their lifetimes, while about half

of Americans turning 65 will develop a

disability serious enough to require

long-term care. For most of us then,

the question is not if we will face the

extended illness or disability of a

relative or close friend, but when.

Those of us who have experienced

the challenges of caring for a loved

one already know how demanding and

exhausting it can be.

Jewish tradition has, at its core, the

concept of chesed (loving kindness)

and the mitzvah of bikkur cholim

(visiting the sick). A number of

Reform Jewish congregations have

established “caring community”

programs that seek to implement

these values by attempting to provide

support to congregants faced with the

demands of caring for themselves or

others. Some of these efforts have

already been initiated at Temple Israel.

For example, our Rabbis provide

pastoral care to congregants facing

challenging health or related issues;

volunteers prepare meals for

congregants who need them and help

arrange transportation for doctor

visits, and the like. But more can, and

should, be done.

Recognizing the important role that

religious organizations play in the lives

of their congregants, Hospice of

Dayton has launched a year long

program called “The Unbroken Circle,”

whose objective is to help provide

religious organizations with the

knowledge, resources, and support that

will better enable them to meet their

members’ caregiving needs. Temple

Israel now has an active committee

working to identify the needs of our

members and the resources that might

help us do a better job of meeting

those needs. Several members of our

committee are active participants in the

Hospice program.

Over the next months, our committee

will continue to investigate existing

models and best practices adopted by

other caring community projects at

congregations, Jewish and non-Jewish,

Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz Senior Rabbi

Anyone who has suffered a debilitating illness or has helped care for a loved one knows how overwhelmingly isolating and

stressful it can be. None of us should go it alone when things get hard. It is my hope that we, as a faith community, can

develop better ways to support one another through these times. A few years ago many of you shared with us your

hopes and expectations of pastoral care in our congregation through a survey. Your feedback helped a core of

volunteers to better understand our congregational needs and begin implementing new ideas. But there is still much

work to be done. A new cohort of individuals is gaining wisdom though a special Hospice program, and they are devoting

themselves to this cause. Richard Saphire's vision and leadership on this initiative will take us to the next step. Read

below for more information on what we are doing and how you can get involved.

alike in our area

and across the

country. We will

also be soliciting

ideas and advice

from our

membership

concerning what

you would like to

see Temple do to

better meet your

needs and

expectations.

We plan to hold informational and

educational sessions in the months

ahead, and we encourage you to look

for notices of these sessions in the

Tablet, Temple Tidbits, and around

Temple itself. We invite members

who would like to participate in our

project to advise Rabbi Bodney-

Halasz, Rabbi Sobo, or one of the

members of our committee, Linda

Novak, Mary Anne Davis or myself, of

your interest. Ultimately, the success

of any program we may propose will

depend upon your support and

involvement.

Our first meeting will be Sunday,

November 10 at noon.

On November 17, as we gather as a

Dayton Jewish community for the

Global Day of Jewish Learning, we will

explore the theme, “Speaking

Volumes.” We all know that our

voice is one of the most powerful

tools we have. We can use it to

benefit ourselves, our community, and

our world, or do quite the opposite

with it. One of my favorite Jewish

teachings is that our tongues are like

arrows – once it is shot, no matter

how much you might regret it – there

is no drawing it back. Our tradition

contrasts this to a sword, which can

inflict more harm, but up until the last

second, one can choose to return it

to its scabbard. The arrow, once

released, follows a trajectory of its

own, leaving no time to re-direct or

undo the shot, leaving time for it to

hit an unintended target, or be taken

in a different direction by the wind,

the sword remains in the control of

its owner.

From The Rabbi Educator

Rabbi Tina Sobo Jerome Epstein Family Director

of Education

In the days of social media and

instantaneous reporting, the potential

trajectory for both our gossip, and our

words of blessing, to reach well beyond

the range of any Talmudic-era sword

or arrow is very real; and our ability to

put less-than-thought-out words into

the world is easier than ever.

While this teaching is commonly used

to teach the potential for our words to

have a negative impact, the same is true

for words that bring peace, healing, and

blessing to the world, if only we shared

our wisdom as virally as cat videos.

As we draw near to Thanksgiving, and

consider, as Americans, the blessings

that we have in our lives, may we find

that we are using our words to bring

blessing to those around us and to the

world. And I hope you will join me as

we delve deeper into this theme on the

seventeenth.

Global Day of Jewish Learning

Mitzvah Meals Make Difficult Times Easier

Tikkun Olam — repair of the world. Tzedakah — righteousness or charity.

These are two of Judaism’s guiding principles, and they’re the force behind Mitzvah Meals, an initiative of Temple’s

Social Action Committee designed to lend a helping hand to those in our congregation who need it most.

“Volunteers have prepared and frozen healthy and delicious Mitzvah Meals, and they’ll be delivered upon request to

congregants who might need extra help getting a hot meal on the table because of illness, a death in the family or the

disruption of bringing a newborn home,” says Linda Albert.

If someone you know would benefit from a Mitzvah Meal, please contact the Temple office.

RAC Ohio Lobby Day

November 13 from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. • RAC Ohio Lobby Day-State House Atrium in Columbus

violence prevention, criminal justice reform, substance abuse disorders, and reproductive rights. The morning will begin

RAC Ohio’s goal is to build a Jewish movement for justice in Ohio. Come together to speak in one united voice about

these issues to our lawmakers. Register through the Ohio Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism website

(https://rac.org/ohio-religious-action-center-reform-judaism). Contact Rabbi Lindsey Danzinger, Lead Organizer at RAC

Ohio, at [email protected] with any questions. Shared transportation may be an option, depending on how many people

register. Lunch is included at the event.

Pam Feldman, Linda Novak, Roberta Prigozen, Judy Grampp and Cheryl Lewis prepare meals.

Pick Up The Phone

Or Send An E-Mail

Our Rabbis want to reach out to

congregants in times of need and joy,

but hospitals no longer send lists of

patients. Please contact the Temple

office when a friend or loved one is ill,

hospitalized, in a nursing home,

assisted living facility or shut in. Share

the happy news, too—we might not

know about a simcha unless you share

the good news with us!

Jewish Cultural Festival Meeting Tuesday, November 19 at 6:00 pm

Life and Legacy by Katherine Cooper

While the sage Choni was walking

along a road, he saw a man planting a

carob tree. Choni asked him: “How

long will it take for this tree to bear

fruit?” “Seventy years,” replied the

man. Choni then asked: “Are you so

healthy a man that you expect to live

that length of time and eat its fruit?”

The man answered: “I found a fruitful world because my

ancestors planted trees for me. Likewise, I am planting for my children.”

For the past two years, we have been involved in the Life & Legacy project,

spearheaded by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation in collaboration with the

Jewish Foundation of Greater Dayton, in an effort to assure the continuity of

Jewish life in Dayton, Ohio. It has been an honor and a privilege to work on this

endeavor with other Temple Israel members who are passionate about this

community. The conversations and collaborations that have happened due to

this program have been truly phenomenal, and these ideas are transforming the

way we think about our Jewish community. We want to see Temple Israel

continue to thrive and grow well into the future for our grandchildren and great

-grandchildren, and we are planting the seeds for that future now.

As of writing this article, sixty Temple Israel members have pledged participation

in Life & Legacy so far. There are many ways that you can give, including cash,

stocks, an IRA, a life insurance policy, or through a will or trust. Donors are

welcome to designate their legacy gift to their favorite fund, otherwise

contributions are placed in the Fund for Tomorrow. This fund gives assistance to

those who do not have the financial means to be a member of Temple Israel, in

addition to supporting the operations of the organization and maintenance of the

building. We are proud of the fact that we can provide financial assistance to

anyone that wants to join our community, but we need your help to continue

this into the future.

Whether it be the friendly faces you see at services, the helping hand in times of

struggle, or the joy surrounding a life cycle event, your community is here for

you. Help us to continue this for future generations. Donate to Life & Legacy.

For more information and how you can be involved, contact the Temple office

at (937) 496-0050.
