The Cincinnati Klezmer Project
In A Sing-Along and Dance-Along Concert
December 1, 2001 at 8 PM
at Temple Adath Israel

On Saturday, December 1, 2001, Temple Adath Israel will host a performance by the Cincinnati Klezmer Project.
Founded in 1994, the group unites classic Klezmer music with rousing traditional dance tunes, modern Israeli folkdance,
songs of the Yiddish Theater and community singing. Past performances include holiday concerts with the Cincinnati
Symphony Orchestra and a riverboat concert with the Huntington Symphony Orchestra.

The band that evening will feature: Michele Gingras, Professor of Clarinet at Miami University. She has performed
as a soloist on four continents and released two 005 last year, ‘Old World meets New World" - a collection of American
clarinet compositions and Klezmer music, as well as “Klezmer's Greatest Hits” with the Cincinnati Klezmer Project. lrena
Bernadsky, an expert in Ukrainian folk music, formerly played mandolin with the Kiev Radio Orchestra. Joshua Moss,
pianist and director of the group, is a doctoral candidate in rabbinic literature at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of
Religion. Steve Stuhlbarg on guitar and Chris Novy on drums complete the band, and dance leader Carolyn Levine will
help people to participate in the traditional dance forms that accompany the music.

Klezmer music is the celebration music of the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe. Adopting and transforming
elements of Moldavian, Bulgarian, Rumanian, Gypsy, and other folk music and dance forms, Klezmer music is everywhere
influenced by the distinctive musical modes of Synagogue liturgy. In America, Klezmer music was influenced by jazz and
swing. Modern Klezmer revival bands like The Cincinnati Klezmer Project draw on early recordings of immigrant
celebration music, as well as Yiddish folk songs and songs of the Yiddish Theatre.

The performance on December 1 will include traditional Klezmer melodies: “doynas — soulful instrumental
meditations in the style of Synagogue chant; “zhoks” - slow, sensual, Rumanian-style dances; “Husidls” - lively communal
dances with tempos slow enough to allow for improvisations; and “Freylakhs” - high-speed celebration dances with the
brakes removed. There will be music to listen to, to swing with, and to dance to.

Admission is free but reservations are requested

_. Many of you might have
missed the Temple Social Action
Committee's addition to our bulletin
over the last several issues. For

nearly a year, the Social Action Committee used $54 from the

Temple Tzedakkah Fund to make a contribution to a local

Lexington agency and then highlighted that agency in the

bulletin. The Committee's hope was that some of you might

find this agency or organization worthy of your talents and that
you might choose to do some volunteer work there. The upside
is that we have used our Temple bulletin to make you aware of
the things that are happening in Lexington and the downside is
that we have nearty depleted the Tzedakkah Fund. At the
recent Temple Board of Trustees meeting, the balance in the

Fund was $74 and change.

I believe that it is important to continue contributing to
agencies and organizations in our community. They need to
know that we support their work. $54 (a triple chai contribution)
may not seem like a lot of money, but to a non-profit
organization any contribution is deemed worthy and important.
Every church that l know of in this city sets aside a portion of its
collections for benevolent work. They allocate hundreds, if not
thousands, of dollars. In order for us to continue our
Temple's benevolence in Central Kentucky I am appealing
to you, this congregation's membership, to send in
contributions to the Temple Tzedakkah Fund so that we
can continue this qood work. Over the past year we
supported the following: Lexington Hearing and Speech Center,
Hospital Hospitality House, Moveable Feast, YWCA Spouse
Abuse Center, LexCare, New Opportunity School for Women,
Minds Wide Open Art Center, and Harrison Elementary School.

Our Temple Social Action Committee is in the process
of planning for the coming year. Now that the Habitat for
Humanity project is over and the incredibly successful Temple
food drive is past, the Committee can now concentrate on its
next project or projects. Once this decision is made, the
Committee will be looking for volunteers. If you have a
suggestion for a major project, let me know about it and I will
pass it on to the committee co-chairs Susan and Austin Cantor,
and Anne Graff, or contact them directly. Participating in Tikkun
Olam is an important part of who we are as Jews. It is up to
each of us to make this world a better place for everyone. This
can only be accomplished through the work of our hands.

One other thing: in a week or so we will begin the
celebration of Hanukah. Though this holiday is only a minor
holiday on the calendar, still it represents an important part of
our people‘s past. Judah Maccabee led the Jewish people in a
revolt against the all-powerful Greeks who had oppressed the
Jewish community in Palestine by denying them opportunity to
celebrate Shabbat, study Torah, and circumcise their sons. The
revolt was successful and Judaism and the Jewish people were
saved. Unfortunately, this is a fight that we have had to fight
too many times in too many places. We can only hope and pray
for a time when tyranny and oppression cease in favor of
tolerance and kindness. As you light your Hanukah lights, let us
all pray for this day to come soon for all people eve h re.

A Message From
The President

 

Our Long-Range Planning
process is moving forward and I want to update
everyone on our progress. In addition to the 50
individuals who participated in the five small focus
gr0ups last year, we had over 80 individuals participate
in the two large group sessions in February and March.
Our Long-Range Planning Committee has now
summarized the comments made by our members and
we have fonNarded these comments to all of our
Temple committees to get additional input. I want to
share these preliminary findings with you.

In the area of Worship, the following
suggestions were made: create innovative worship
services, invite guests to do sermons, and incorporate
more participation from congregants in services. In
addition, some members expressed a desire for more
spiritual content to the service. Finally, many
individuals wanted a book with music and songs so
that the congregation could learn and follow the songs.

In the area of Religious Education, our
members felt that it was important to address the
needs of all ages and look for ways to link their
learning. Many individuals wanted to see more
education for the entire family. Our members also
stated that we should bolster teacher training and
support and consider having a professionally trained,
full-time education director.

Summer programming was of interest to many.
Many congregants expressed a desire that we keep the
Temple open and active during the summer and that
we have more activities for children and adults. One
recommendation was to hire a student rabbi for 10
weeks to cover worship and educational programs
while our Rabbi is on vacation and at camp.

in the area of Community, many members
stated that we should work to make our Temple more
welcoming, strengthen the hevra initiative so that
congregants can join together with others of similar
interests, and provide more activities and support for
senior members, singles, and members without
children.

Our Long-Range Planning Committee has now
forwarded their summary to all Temple Committees to
get additional input from everyone in our community.
We need to prioritize the recommendations and
develop a specific plan. If anyone is interested in
reviewing the summary, copies are available in the
Temple office. If anyone has further input, please let
me know your thoughts. With the help of our Temple
Board, our Temple Committees and you, I am certain
that we can continue to grow and strengthen our
community by planning for our future.

My Dear Sisterhood and Temple Friends:

As I prepare for my wonderful son Miles' Bar
Mitzvah, I think of how very special and inspiring all of my
Sisterhood friends have been to me. From the moment
that I moved here, Ruth Baker greeted me with open arms
(twelve years ago), Rose Rita, Judy and the entire
Wurmser family welcomed us in their home, Holly Barnhill
came into our lives with everything that she had to offer.
Sandy Adland introduced me to a deeper sense of
Sisterhood and Judaism. Marilyn Lieber taught me the
important side of being part of the Temple community.
Karyn Martin shared with me the true meaning of
Sisterhood. These are just a few of the reasons why
Sisterhood is so important to each and every one of us.
Please, I ask that you join our Sisterhood today. If you
still are unsure, I send you an open invitation to come to
our December meeting. I promise that you will see what I
mean about the caring community we share within our
Sisterhood and congregation.

Thank you to Dr. Joanne Glasser for inspiring us
with her words during our November program. Joanne,
we are honored and proud to have you in our community.
You are a true role model for all of us.

Once again, please join me in thanking all of the
special star, moon and sun sponsors for our fund-raiser in
October. If it were not for all of you we would not have
been successful in our donor efforts. We raised over
$7,000. Thank you to all of you who attended and once
again a SPECIAL thank you to our patrons.

Happy Hanukkah to all. Back to the Bar Mitzvah
preparation. Hope to see you all there!

 PRESCHOOL NEWS
Sandy Adland, Director
Email — SAdIand@aoI.com

November is always a fun month for our
Preschoolers. The weather turns a little cooler and we
enjoy our playtime outside even more! All of our
classes continue to learn about autumn and all of the
changes that take place throughout the season in our
everyday lives. Thanksgiving is such a wonderful
holiday to celebrate with preschoolers. We learn about
the relationship of the Native Americans and the
Pilgrims, and how they helped each otherto live. The
holiday theme is not complete until we come together as
a preschool family to share in a special Feast of
Thanksgiving. Thanks to everyone who brought in
special foods or paper goods to make the event so
special.

Hanukkah will also be a very special
time in our classes. We will hear Hanukkah stories, learn
some Hanukkah songs, and celebrate by lighting the
menorah, playing with dreidels, eating latkes, and
making gifts for our families.

Our Wild, Wild West Preschool Fundraiser was
an incredible success! We had a wonderful turn-out, and
it looked like everyone had a “rip—roarin‘ time“! An
EXTRA BIG thank you to the Preschool Committee and
especially the Fundraising Committee Chairs for all of
theirtime, effort, creativity, energy, and vision. Special
thanks to Jana LaZur, Bonnie O'Neill, Kathleen
Schwarcz, Rebecca Young, Mimi Kaufman, Nathalie
Dhir, Laura Creamer, Susan Butler, Beth Engel, and
Kathy Feinberg, who spent countless hours planning this
special event. You are one group of incredible women,
and I am so fortunate, as Preschool Director, to have you
as our cheerleaders. Special thanks are also due to our
parents and teachers who helped to make our fundraiser
a tremendous success!

I can't believe I'm saying this already (where
does the time go?), but registration for the 2002-2003
school year begins January 1, 2002. The enrollment
policy is as follows:

January 1-January 13 — registration for class members
and siblings. A sibling is defined as a sister or brother of
a child attending TAl Preschool presently or who has
graduated from the four year old class.

January 14-January 27 — registration for Temple
members

January 28 - registration open to the public.

Remember, “Bagels and Blocks" meets every
Monday morning (when preschool is in session) in the
Temple library from 9:00 AM-10:30AM. If you have
children ages 0-2, please bring your child and join us for
a morning of fun, food, and “shmoozing”!

NEW MEMBER HIGHLIGHT
TIFFANY BENJAMIN

 

Tiffany, John, and daughter, Nina, at her High School Graduation

Tiffany and her husband John, moved to Lexington from
Madison, WI six years ago for the warmer weather, horses, and
The Kentucky Ballet Theatre. Tiffany is a new books processor at
the Lexington Public Library and she has attended U K's Mini
Medical School and Citizen’s Police Academy classes. Her
husband. John, is the Budget Director for the Community Action
Council.

Tiffany and her husband have been practicing
transcendental meditation for 30 years and are interested in
Ayurvedic health care.

Tiffany and John have three daughters, Heather, Hillary,
and Nina Benjamin. Heather is a Theatre Arts graduate from the
University of Louisville and now lives and works in Silver
Springs, MD. Hillary is attending Midway College where she is
taking equine studies, and Nina is a trainee with the Kentucky
Ballet Theatre.

Tiffany feels she has much to learn as a new convert to
Judaism and if anyone is interested in helping her and other new
converts learn how to celebrate the home rituals of Shabbat,
Havdalah, Sukkot, Hanukkah, Passover, etc, it would be a nice
program to begin. Perhaps recommended books from the
Temple Library and the Lexington Public Library could be
particularly helpful to those converting to Reform Judaism.

Graff and Julie Diamond McKee and
their committee - Fran Bloom, Ruth
Kramen, Mary Engel, Erin Gold, Linda

on supporting the religious school by purchasing cookbooks.
They will be ready for sale before Hanukkah. What great
presentsll

I am sure that you are aware of the Thanksgiving
baskets in the main hallway. It is very comforting to watch
them being filled by religious school students' donations for
God's Pantry. What a worthwhile project. Thanks to Anne
Graff for coordinating this project. Our first through sixth
grade classes go to God's Pantry one time during the year.
They really enjoy this activity. This is an excellent opportunity
for children to give their time and energy and to learn.

child miss this chance to join in the fun and friendship of
G. U. C. I. A four-week session (a two-week session is
offered for entering 3rd and 4th graders) at Goldman Camp is
a unique experience. Campers participate in a full range of
sports, arts, and Jewish programs, all offered within the
exciting and motivating atmosphere of a Reform Jewish

THIRD GRADE, Laura Loventhal, Teacher

The third grade has learned about the fall holidays,
Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. We made lists
of many things about which we are sorry, and had a
symbolic Tashlich. We listed behaviors that we will work on
in the year to come and decorated our own sukkah.

The third graders are beginning to learn the Hebrew
alphabet and are practicing Shabbat and holiday blessings.
Currently we are studying Jewish communities around the
world. Each third grader will research and present a
different country. We will soon be studying the Ten
Commandments. In the spring, third grade will also learn
about lsrael. What a busy year!

FOURTH GRADE, Austin & Susan Cantor, Teachers

Religious School began just before the High
Holidays, so we quickly jumped into learning about Rosh
Hashanah—the Days of Awe, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and
Simchat Torah. Besides learning what the holidays were all
about, everyone learned how to wish someone a happy new
year in Hebrew. We all enjoyed saying the blessing over
the lulav in the Sukkah (see picture below).

Now that the holidays have past, we are spending
more time on Bible and history. We have been looking at
the events covered in weekly Torah portions and discussing
the major themes that each portion teaches us. In addition,
the students have been responsible for bringing in an
article about Judaism or Israel each week. Students have
used newspapers, magazines, and the internet to find their
articles, which they present in class. The students will also
be writing book reports on books dealing with characters in
the Bible or about Jewish holidays every 5 to 6 weeks.

On October 28'“, the 4th grade went to God‘s Pantry,
where we (students, parents and teachers) helped sort
thousands of cans of food into different categories.
