A“: ‘5’." The celebration of Consecration and
Simchat Torah at Temple Adath Israel
is always a special night. For those
who may not be familiar with Conse-
cration, the ceremony is a uniquely Reform Jewish custom
of celebrating the formal beginning of a child‘s Jewish edu-
cation. At Temple Adath Israel, we celebrate this ceremony
with our kindergarten class on Simchat Torah eve. The
members of the class dress in special robes, stand before
the congregation to recite the Sh’ma, and are presented with
a variety of gifts to celebrate this special night.

Simchat Torah is the traditional celebration of the
completion of the yearly cycle of reading the Torah and the
beginning of the next year's cycle. The holiday comes at
the end of the festival of Sukkot. The Torah scrolls are
taken from the ark and, with much singing and rejoicing, pa-
raded around the sanctuary. Adults take turns carrying the
Torah scrolls. The idea of completing and starting the To-
rah reading cycles on the same night fits with many Jewish
concepts of continuity.

Last year, we began what I hope to be a tradition at
the Consecration/Simchat Torah service. I took one of the
Torah scrolls and together, and with the help of those pres-
ent, unrolled it around the outside of the sanctuary. Kinder-
garten parents, friends and community held it. I gathered
the Consecration class together in the middle of sanctuary
and showed them the inside of the Torah. I told them that
from Torah comes our wisdom and knowledge about living a
good life and a Jewish life. I told them that we, the adults,
must always hold up the Torah for the next generation of
Jews and teach them what it means.

The confluence of Simchat Torah and Consecration
is the icing on the cake. Not only do we rejoice with the To—
rah scroll, but also we rejoice in the continuity of Jewish life.
These kindergarten children are our future. We must think
of holding them and embracing them with the same rever-
ence with which we hold a Torah scroll. We must work to—
gether as a community to teach these children the meaning
of Torah as it has been taught and expounded for 3,000
years. They must see our enthusiasm for learning about
Judaism so that they will learn about all aspects of Jewish
life with vivacity and embrace them with joy.

How wonderful it would be forthese children to see
a full sanctuary of adults excited about Simchat Torah and
about celebrating the beginning of thisjourney of Jewish

learning. How wonderful it is for adults to see the next gen-~
eration of Jews eager to learn. Please join us on Friday
night, October 1, in this celebration.

The President’s Office

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder“ - and do we
have some Temple areas to behold! The tile flooring in
the art foyer and the office hall gives us a lovely, light and
spacious look. What a nice difference tile creates.

The religious school is now a happy, colorful and
very functional area. This year will begin with the new
curriculum and should create a positive Jewish outlook for
the students, teachers and parents. Thanks and apprecia-
tion to Marsha Rose, Stacy Bloomfield-Dunahue and the
Youth Education Committee.

A special thanks and appreciation to Bonnie
Sobel for redesigning the courtyard. She has created a
restful scene with a water fountain and a lovely sweet bay
magnolia tree. Bonnie and the landscaper will have a
plan for various plantings, so if you would like to contrib-
ute a planting(s) in memory or honor, please contact Bon-
nie. This area is and will be conducive to various Temple
functions, such as the late Kabbalat Shabbat service last
month. (Thanks to the Worship Committee for this inno-
vation. I am sure it will become a routine part of summer
services.)

So - remember when you behold all these new
Temple renovations, please show your appreciation by
thanking those who have worked to bring beauty to our
Temple.

We have all been concerned by the senseless
shooting in Los Angeles and are therefore concerned with
the safety of our Temple and community. I have ap-
pointed an Ad Hoc Committee to ascertain and assess our
security needs. Anyone with questions can call the com-
mittee co-chairs, Beth & Paul Engel, at 269-6555. I would
ask that we all remember to use common sense regard-

ing this matter. mu/LW/ XWU

Preschool News

Preschool is off to a great start. We have nine 2 ‘/z-
year—olds, fourteen 3-year-olds and eleven 4-year-olds. Mrs.
Tomko is assisted in our 4-year-old class by Mrs. Gerall, and
Ms. Mosey is assisted in our 2 ‘/2 and 3-year—old classes by
Mrs. Jennings. Many wonderful things are planned for the
month of September.

We have been be learning about the Jewish holi-
days of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot through
storytelling, art projects, musical experiences, and holiday
taste treats. We will make and decorate a sukkah in our
classrooms, which should be an especially fun project.

Our Extended Day sessions, traditionally offered
to our 4-year~old class members, are currently held on
Wednesday afternoons, and are taught by Mrs. Tomko and
Mrs. Gerall. The teachers have some exciting plans in store
for our special time together! In addition, some members of
the 3-year-old class will be joining the after-school group for
an afternoon of fun and enrichment. This is the beginning of
a wonderful school year!

Reform Movement Biennial Convention is December
15-19 in Orlando, FL

Wouldn‘t you like to be part of the largest gath-
ering of Reform Jews this century? You can be one of
the 5,000 people who will gather in Orlando, FL,
Wednesday through Sunday, December 15-19 for the
Reform Movement's Biennial convention.

The Union of American Hebrew Congregation's
five-day convention includes the announcement of ma-
jor initiatives for the 21st century by President Rabbi
Eric H. Yoffie, more than 160 workshops on all aspects
of synagogue life, major addresses by political, religious
and international leaders, the opportunity to worship in a
wide variety of styles, late-night songfests, and study
with leading scholars.

Delegates to the 65th General Assembly will be
making decisions that affect the lives of Reform Jews
throughout North America. in past years the General
Assembly has voted on policies determining the role of
the non-Jew in synagogue life, and has taken stands on
issues such as economic and welfare reform and the
separation of church and state.

And, not to be overlooked, the Biennial features
the works of artists and crafts people in the largest col-
lection of Judaica ever assembled in North America.

As might be expected, the Biennial program fo-
cuses on Reform Judaism in the 21$t Century. Four
keynote sessions, designed to spur debate on major is-
sues facing Jews in the coming century, will focus on
Raising Ethical Children, A Vision for Synagogue Trans-
formation, Lessons from Twenty Years of Outreach, and
Baby Boomers, Older Adults, and Our Congregations.

In addition, forthe first time, Biennial partici-
pants will be able to focus on a particular area of con-
cern overthe course of the convention by following
tracks devoted to issues such as the CCAR’s Statement
of Principals, conversion and outreach issues, adult
learning, building a synagogue leadership team, social
action and social justice, and formal and informal edu-
cation.

Concurrent with the UAHC’s Biennial, the
Women of Reform Judaism will hold its 42nd Assembly
and the National Federation of Temple Brotherhoods
will hold its convention, celebrating the 75th anniversary
of the founding of NFTB.

For a full program, visit the UAHC Web site at
http:l/uahc.org/orlando/schedule.html. If you are
interested in attending, please speak to the president of
your congregation.

 

  

FROM THE YOUTHEDUCATION
DIRECTOR — Marsha Rose

Welcome back! By the time you read this, religious

school will have been in session for several weeks. It prom-
ises to be a great year. A few bits of news:

An in-service was held for our four-year old through sixth
grade teachers on Sunday, August 29th. Excitement and
enthusiasm were evident, not only because of our new
ARE curriculum, but also due to our beautiful new sur-
roundings.
New rules and regulations will be implemented for relig-
ious school, and students will receive a copy from their
teachers shortly. We want to stress the importance of
respect for all teachers, students and our facility.
Our enrichment classes run from 11-1 1 :30 and 11:30-
12200 on Sundays. If you are planning on being in the
Temple at this time, we could truly use your manpower/
womanpower forjust a few minutes to usherthe children
in a timely manner to their designated classes. Please
contact me if you are available to help. Also if you are
interested in substitute teaching, please contact me or
the Temple office.

My very best wishes for a healthy and happy new

year.

ClickonJudaism Web Site Attracts
Young Jews

Young Jews in their 20’s and 30‘s, many of whom
are not currently members of a congregation, are discov-
ering ClickonJudaism, a web site created by the UAHC
almost a year ago.

Written by both lay people and professionals, the
Web site at http://clickonJudaism.org is aimed at invit-
ing the unaffiliated to learn more about Judaism and to
engage in Jewish life.

ClickonJudaism is a Web site where seekers can
ask questions and get personal answers from rabbis and
other scholars in a non-threatening or intrusive manner.
Many of the questions involve interfaith issues, such as
“What are the major differences between Jews and Chris-
tians?“ and “In the interfaith marriage, can there be a ketu-
bah?"

Religious School is in

YOUTH GROUPS
TRYB The white water rafting, rock

climbing and rappelling trip was a

wonderful experience for the entire
group that went. There was plenty of water in the New
River and we had lots of great and exciting rapids to
ride. We climbed a huge rock (30 ft) and then rappelled
down an even larger cliff. The view of the gorge was
fantastic. As Jordan Kahan put it: “The rafting and
rappelling trip was extravagant. I had the most fun and
thrilling experience I think I have ever had." Thank you
to the parents who participated in this trip: John
Harrison, Paul Epstein and Polina Parker.

TRYB’s social action project this month will be
to participate in the Memory Walk of the Alzheimer‘s
Association on October 3. The goal ofthe walk is to
raise funds and increase awareness about Alzheimer's
disease and the community services and programs that
help families who meet the daily challenges of
Alzheimer’s disease. All Temple members are invited
to participate also. The walk begins at Commonwealth
Stadium at 2 PM (registration is at 1 PM) and is a 5K
walk around town.

6 Middle School Challenge
MSW by Jordan Barnhill

Wow! Did we have fun at Jacobson Park! The
middle school youth really met the challenge on Middle
School Challenge Day. We played games, had a limbo
and twist contest and had hot dogs...yum! With our
leader, Shainey Marcus, of CKJF's Jewish Family
Services, we had a great day. We wouldn't have been
able to do all this without our sponsors: Central
Kentucky Jewish Federation, Temple Adath Israel and
Ohavay Zion Synagogue. We can‘t thank them enough.

If you are wondering who won the limbo contest,
the answer is Leah Martin. She won a Louisville
Slugger baseball bat for her amazing flexibility. Thanks
to the great DJ’s, Sound Off, we had music to dance to.

Well, I guess that about wraps everything up.
See you next month in the November bulletin.

THE BLOOD OF ABRAHAM: INSIGHTS INTO THE MIDDLE EAST PROBLEM
By Jimmy Carter
Reviewed by David M. Glixon

As Jimmy Carter reminds us in this insightful book, “The most unremitting conflicts ofthe
Middle East are not on the battlefields but in the minds ofthe people who live there.” The former
president’s interest in the Promised Land — together with America’s role in the Middle East — ac-
celerated during his term of office, climaxing with the momentous l978 Camp David Accords that he
initiated.

Though published nearly fifieen years ago, The Blood of A braham remains a prescient over-
view ofthe political, religious, and ethnic conflicts that have fragmented that tumultuous area. It pro-
vides a highly readable analysis, in both historic and ongoing contexts, of each country’s perspective
and involvement.

Particularly helpful is the succinct chronology of over a hundred relevant events. Beginning
with prehistoric times and the early struggle between Egypt and her neighbors, Carter goes on to cite
Abraham’sjourneys from Ur to Canaan around 1900 BCE, the exodus from Egypt some seven centu—
ries later, and the anointment of Saul as king ofthe Israelites. The chronology continues up to our
own time, with such crucial developments as the Balfour Declaration of I9 I 7, which promised a Jew—
ish national home in Palestine, its termination in the 1948 proclamation of the State of Israel, the es-
tablishment ofthe PLO with the goal of destroying Israel, and on to the initial withdrawal of Israel’s
forces from southern Lebanon in 1985.

The Blood of Abraham delves extensively into the centuries-long background and motivation
ofIsraeI—Arab hostility. One section deals with the rise of Yasir Arafat. Founder ofthe al-Fatah
guerilla group, then chosen by the PLO to be its leader, he successfully solicited world-wide recogni-
tion ofthe Palestine cause, and raised funds for the support of Arabs who had Iefi Israel either volun-
tarily or as refugees. But, as Carter records, the next exodus of Palestinians was not from Israel but
from Jordan, afier the clash between Palestinian militants and the Jordanian regular forces. Rejected
by Syria and Egypt, many Palestinians wound up in Lebanon. The book provides a masterly analysis
ofthe ensuing developments and ofthe
