TEMPLE
ADATH ISRAEL
BULLETIN

 

DEC. 1999 — JAN. 2000 VOL. 67

My Hanukah present came
early this year, a wonderful surprise
that underscored an oft-heard warning
around the Lexington Jewish commu-
nity: “Be careful who y0u talk about to
whom, because they might all be re-

lated.“ I would like to share with you my Hanukah present —
the discovery that my own family‘s roots go back to the
early days of Temple Adath Israel, right here in Lexington,
KY. The story is this...Early this fall, my mother received a
letter from a young man named David Meyer from St. Louis,
MO. Researching his family history, David had come
across an obituary in the Lincoln, NE, newspaper about a
relative who turned out to be my grandmother. In the
obituary article was a note about my mother living in Chevy
Chase, MD, which is how he found her.

It turns out that David Meyer and I are fourth cous-
ins, both directly descended from a German Jewish couple
named Leo and Esther Heymann. Married in August, 1808,
Leo and Esther both died in Kirchberg, Germany (Esther‘s
birthplace), Leo in 1852 and Esther in 1870. Leo and Esther
produced at least 11 children, the first nine boys and the last
two girls, from whom more than 40 grandchildren, all born in
Europe, and many of whom immigrated to the 0.8.

Included among these grandchildren were David
and my great-great grandfathers, brothers, Fritz and Moses
Heymann, two sons of Leo and Esther‘s second-oldest child,
Joseph. But it is from our great-great grandfathers' uncle
Lazarus, another son of Leo and Esther, that our family's
roots branched to Lexington. Lazarus' fourth son, Gustav
L. Heyman, was born in March 1861. The same Gus Hey-
man — my great-great grandfather‘s first cousin, thus my
own first cousin four times removed - was the eighth presi-
dent of this very congregation, serving from 1913-1922,
the longest tenure of any Temple Adath Israel president
ever. Gus and his wife Emma are buried in the Jewish sec-
tion ofthe Lexington Cemetery. Their granddaughter, my
new-found cousin Emma Kate Simon, is a member of The
Temple in Louisville, KY.

Evidently, I also had relatives on this side of the
family who lived in Danville and Bardstown, as well as Lex-
ington and Louisville. Six members of the Heymann family
(sometimes spelled with one “n" and sometimes with two)
are buried in the Adath Israel Cemetery in Louisville, The
oldest of those graves dates back to 1901.

This will be the last celebration and lighting of
Hanukah candles for the 20th Century. The story of
Hanukah should have a profound meaning for everyone
who loves liberty. This was the first historical battle for
religious freedom and the right to worship according to the
dictates of one's conscience.

This century has seen its share of hate and intol-
erance for Jews — the pogroms in eastern Europe and the
Holocaust that was the epitome of unleashed evil. This
country showed intolerance in restricted neighborhoods,
country clubs, and quota systems for many universities,
medical, and law schools. The upside was with the influx
of immigrants through Ellis Island in the early part of this
century. Their generation produced an abundance of
doctors, lawyers, authors, musicians, actors, and athletes,
to name a few. They have given to this country and the
world a century of medical research, justice for all peo-
ples, and entertainment that extends from symphony
halls, the Broadway stage, movies, television and sports
events.

The hope and promise of a united Jewish people
was realized with the new state of Israel in 1948. These
fifty-one years have been shadowed by wars and intoler-
ance, but there is always the hope for peace and under-
standing when the Ieaders come together. When we light
the candles this year, let us reflect on our past 100 years
and hope that the next century will be one of tolerance in
every aspect of everyone's life.

The past reflects where we are today and it is our
responsibility to look to tomorrow, not only for us, but for
future generations. We always need to be responsible
and tolerant Jews, not only in our daily lives, but for our
Temple and in the local, national, and international com-
munities. As it was in past centuries, and now forthe end
of this century, tell the Hanukah story, light the Menorah,
spin the dreidel, and enjoy the latkes. Happy Hanukkah.

From the Rabbi (from page 1)

There is more to this family history, but suf-
fice it to say that my roots go back to the early days
of Temple Adath Israel, something I certainly never
expected, but about which I am very proud. Look at
this congregation today and you can understand why.
We are a vibrant congregation. To know that a rela-
tive took on the responsibility of leadership makes
me quite happy and proud. Though the congregation
is nothing like it was when Gus Heyman was presi—
dent, l hope he would be proud of what it has be-
come. Continuing his legacy adds to the importance
and meaning of my work here.

Now when I hear, “Be careful who you talk
about to whom because they might be related," I
have to wonder if it doesn‘t in-
clude me as well.

A HAPPY HAPPY HANUKAH TO
ALL OUR FRIENDS AT

’ TEMPLE ADATH ISRAEL from
' Sandy, Joshua, Rachel and me.

MENTORS ARE NEEDEDII

Join volunteers from Temple Adath Israel and Oha-
vay Zion synagogue, and area churches to mentor one or two
children at Harrison Elementary School. Mentors offer chil-
dren a positive adult role model who provides consistent sup-
port and encouragement. Mentors volunteer to spend one
hour a week at school. Shared activities depend upon your
interests but could include playing games, reading stories,
working on a computer, doing art activities, or simply eating
lunch together and talking. Many of us look forward to
mentoring as much as the kids look forward to seeing us.

For more information, call Anne Graff at 264-9424.

Adult Jewish Growth

 

B’nai Mitzvah is a program of Hebrew enrichment, text study,
and the opportunity to celebrate a Bar/Bat Mitzvah as an adult.
The class runs an hour and a hall". The first part of class teaches
Hebrew. (Introduction to l lebrew or the equivalent is a
prerequisite for the B‘nai Mitzvah class.) The second part of
each class looks at the variety of Jewish texts from 'l'anach to
Talmud to the literature of responsa.

Participation in the B”nai Mitzvah service includes several
requirements including worship attendance and a short paper.

If you never had a Bar/Bat Mitzvah as a child and want the
opportunity to fulfill this unique Jewish life cycle event, then
sign-up for this course. Ask any of the people who have become
B’nai Mitzvah in the past and I believe that they will all tell you
what a special experience it was for them.

Class Dates are: Mondays-Jan. 10, 17,24, 31; Feb. 7, 14, 28‘,
March 6 & l3;

Tuesdays--April ll, 18, 25', May 9, 16,23,30;

 FROM THE YOUTHEDUCATION
DIRECTOR — Marsha Rose

Marsha Rose, Youth Education Director

On October 24, Candance Kiwiatek held a workshop
entitled “Gimmels, Gadgets, and Goodies."
Creative strategies for planning, and managing and teaching
techniques were provided. The workshop was designed for
all ages, subjects, and settings. Ohavay Zion Synagogue
teachers joined ourteachers in exploring and participating in
more than a dozen easily replicable strategies, games and
activities appropriate for grade level. A mini-manual of
presentation techniques and numerous teaching ideas were
created to be incorporated in the teaching setting. John
McDonald‘s efforts and hard work were truly appreciated.
Lunch was provided. Everyone benefited a great deal. It
was definitely a successful afternoon.

I want to thank all of the parents who have donated
items for our Thanksgiving baskets to God’s Pantry. This is
such a worthwhile project.

Drama Class Needs Costumes

The Religious School Drama Class needs
costumes. Please save old bathrobes, hats, pants, warm-up
suits, sandals, etc. These items can be donated c/o Sheryl
Rade, TAI Religious School.

FROM THE RELIGIOUS SCHOOL CLASSES

Kindergarten, Iris Silberman, Teacher

The Kindergarten Class had been very busy so far
this year. We spent our first few weeks preparing for
Consecration. Everyone learned the Shema and said it
beautifully at the Simchat Torah service.

Since then we have studied the fall holidays and the
importance of mitzvot and tzedakah. We are also enjoying
the special classes we have: art, music, Bible characters,
Hebrew, and drama.

Third Grade, Linda Noffsinger, Teacher

The Third Grade has been busy learning about the
Commandments. We started with 10 and have stretched a
bit beyond. We have chosen to perform a mitzvah to-
gether — a tzedakah project to help the Lexington Humane
Society. This project will continue throughout this year.
Please visit our room to see the progress we are making.

.Fifth Grade, Jane Grise, Teacher

The Fifth Grade has explored many aspects of
Jewish history and holidays over the past two months. We
first discussed how certain Torah and Haftarah portions are
read during specific Jewish holidays, examining the Adam and
Eve story as an example. The class did a wonderful trial in
which students took the parts of Adam, Eve, the
serpent, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges. Each
attorney tried to show either that Adam or Eve or the
serpent had a good reason for their actions or had no good
excuse for their behavior. This was a great exercise in
analyzing responsibility. We next analyzed the Haftarah por-
tion for Yom Kippur — Jonah. After locating the cities in the
story on the world map, we read about the archeological back-
ground of the times. We tried to understand why Jonah be-
haved as he did.

We learned about Sukkot by examining the various
biblical references to the holiday. in Exodus, the holiday is
referred to in agricultural terms. In Leviticus, the holiday is
viewed as a reminder ofthe exodus of the Jews from Egypt.
We studied the biblical specifications for building the
Sukkah and tried to design sukkahs around the world
accordingly, eg. in the Arctic, New York City, Australia,
Africa, the 1800's in the Unites States, and the rainforest.

Our final unit over the past two months dealt with the
Jewish community. We pretended that our class was the
Board of Directors of a Jewish Community Center in the early
1900’s, creating committees dealing with jobs, education,
nursing homes, sports, and clothing, and debating how to allo-
cate the JCC funds. We then learned about Jewish organiza-
tions on the national level.

Sixth Grade, AI & Kaye Kaplan, Teachers

Our Sixth Grade class is off and running. We
currently have 12-13 students who attend regularly. Our les-
sons have covered Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, the
weekly Torah portions, Simchat Torah, and Sukkot. We
recently watched Fiddler on the Roof, which opened a
variety of topics for some very interesting discussions.
Tzedakah monies we collect will be donated to the Humane
Society. We hope to set a time and date for a field trip there
sometime in the spring. We have enjoyed working with your
children and look fonrvard to a great year.

Seventh Grade, Roy Meckler, Teacher

The Seventh Grade has been studying other
religions. We have had a visit from a Catholic who attends
Christ the King. We also visited Christ the King and joined
their Sunday school class. We had an excellent exchange of
religious views during the Sunday school. The members of
this very large Catholic Church, which is the headquarters of
the Regional Diocese, warmly welcomed us. On
November 14, we visited the African Methodist Church, one of
the oldest Black African churches in Lexington. The building
was part of the underground railway for slaves
during the Civil War. Any parents are welcome to join us on
any of the visits our class makes.

their fire engines visited our school in honor of Fire Safety
and Prevention Week. Some of our students actually
donned their fire hats and boarded the fire truck! An added
bonus in October was a visit from Discovery Toys represen-
tative, Sabina Massey, who brought her display for our pre-
school parents. Purchases from parents entitled our school
to receive a number of quality toys and learning tools.
Thanks to Sabina and to our preschool parents for support-
ing this endeavor.

November was also an exciting month for our
school. Picture Days (portraits by Holifield Photography)
were held for all of our classes. Thanks to “Mr. Jim“ for his
talent and his wonderful way with our children. Also sched-
uled for November was a visit by Cathy Eads, Usborne
Books representative, who displayed her books for Our pre-
school parents. Purchases entitled our classrooms to an as-
sortment of free, quality books for our students and teach-
ers.

Many thanks to the Lazur family for their donation of
a used refrigerator for our classroom, and to Bill Meece for
helping out with some playground maintenance. And a spe-
cial thank you to everyone who continues to support our
Kroger Certificates program. As Thanksgiving approaches, l
want to express my thankfulness to our wonderful teachers,
our supportive parents, and our very special children.

You’re the best! _9_

Worship Committee News
Janet Tamaren & Janice Kuperstein, Co—Chai‘rs

 

The Worship Committee met on October 12. We
reviewed the High Holy Day services. Consensus was that
they had gone well. Music provided by Marilyn
Langley and this year's High Holy Day choir, conducted by
Deborah Sogin, was well received. We enjoyed seeing the
small children file into the Sanctuary for the final blow of the
Shofar at the end of Yom Kippur.

Junior Congregation started in October, thanks to the
hard work of Mark Simpson and other parent
organizers. This is an occasional separate service for 4th,
5th and 6th grade children, held in the Temple library or
youth lounge concurrently with Friday night worship services.
Parents, kids, and post-bar and bat mitzvahs will lead Junior
Congregation services.

Having added Junior Congregation to our worship
calendar, we now offer services for virtually every age per-
son in our congregation — Tot Shabbat for really little ones,
Family Services for children 4-10 years old and their fami-
lies, Junior Congregation for 4th-6th graders, and our regular
worship services for adults and teens.

Other worship events to watch for in weeks and
months ahead: baby namings; bar and bat mitzvahs; a Ha-
nukkah service; music from Marilyn Langley, Sandy Adland.
Koleinu; pot—luck dinners and more. Join us!

ADULT PROGRAMMING

Of Special Interest.‘

Diversity Films has scheduled two films to be show
at the Downtown Public Library Theater on Dec 18, free of
charge. At 1:30: Europa, Europa, directed by Agnieszka
Holland, and at 3:30: Visas and Virtue will be shown. The
lesser know film, Visas and Virtue, won the l997 Academy
Award for Live Action Short Film. This film explores the
moral and professional dilemma of Japanese Consul Gen-
eral, Chiune Sugihara, who made the difficult decision in
1940 to disobey his government’s orders and issued 2,000
visas to Lithuanian Jews enabling them to escape German
persecution. In l984, Sugihara was recognized as “Righteous
Among Nations" by the Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs’
and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority. Although both of
these films are in the context of the Holocaust, they are also
both affirming of the positive within human nature. A recep-
tion and discussion in Conference Room A will follow these
films on the lower level of the Library.
