A MESSAGE FROM THE RABBI

I remember opening my first law office. I
had a Tandy 1000 and a Daisy wheel
printer that operated at, what was then
break neck speed, 10 characters per second.
I had a state of the art set up. The only problem was that
this printer made lots of noise, so it took a padded sound
buffering case to make it functional (that and a whole
table on which to put it). It was amazing! I could produce
documents that could be changed at will. I don’t know
how law offices operated before computer. Either legal
secretaries had lots more patience or the practice was far
less complex. In any event. I became near addicted to this
wonderful technology, and as it upgraded. so did I. I was
not a techno-file. I never had a Palm Pilot and am not
looking for a computer watch. but I did try to keep a
computer that would run the necessary software and
usually carried a cell phone. I became very thankful for
this blessing. and then. true to form for most of us,
thankfulness left and I began to take it for granted.
1 was once again reminded of the importance of computer
technology in my life this past week. My computer
crashed while I was out oftown. As I stood at the
computer shop and begged for help, I would have given or
promised almost anything to get it back and whole. As I
write this article, I realize that I am once again blessed, I
promise never to take my computer for granted again.
This sounds so much like the way we approach each other
and God. New relationships are special. They are
exciting and fresh. Eventually, we often times forget to
keep them special. and we begin to take them for granted.
or "upgrade” them as our social status or geography
Changes. We do this with God, too. In the midst of our
angst we make all sorts of promises. "If only You get me
through this . . is a frequently heard phrase that many of
make and begin to honor. Yet after the prayer is
answered, we fall back into usual patterns as time goes on,
forgetting the blessing for which we felt indebted. It
seems as though. in this same way, we take our tradition
for granted. We look at the Torah and talk about its

KISLEV-SHEVAT 5764

wonder, but do not spend enough time engaging it.
Rabbi Eric Yoffie, the President of the American
Reform movement, offered us a solution to this
dilemma. At the recent Biennial convention of the
Reform Movement, introduced an initiative seeking
Reform Jews to reinvest ourselves in Torah study.

His idea is that we should spend ten (10) minutes

each day studying Torah. Short lessons will be
planned and available on line, with a goal of making
Torah again relevant to our lives. Candidly, I

endorse the initiative and would hope that we all

take the opportunity to dive back into our tradition

and study, even ten minutes a day. Call the office .

TEMPLE ADATH ISRAEL
1904-2004

This is the third in a series of excerpts from
the hundred year history of Temple Adath Israel.

By 1945, the Temple had grown to 132
families and we had completed a garden in the rear of
the Vestry, equipped it with a barbecue grill, and
dedicated it to the members of the Congregation
serving in the Armed Forces. Rabbi Lewis returned
from active duty and the Congregation, after much
discussion, decided to build a prefab house for him at
the corner of Woodspoint and Fincastle Roads, which
was later sold and replaced by a house at 304
Culpepper Road where our rabbis continued to live
until 1961.

The Sunday School, under the direction of
Fannie Miller, a long-time superintendent and a
splendid teacher using the NFTS curriculum, operated
in both Lexington and Frankfort, while Jane Scherago
commuted to Danville each week to teach the eight
children of that community. Our religious school, in
addition to becoming a model for other Sunday
Schools throughout the region, was also bursting at
the seams with the pre—war baby crop. Now the post-
war crop was being planted, as the soldiers came
home.

As usual, there wasn’t enough money to
expand, what with inflated post-war prices, so we
waited -- again. When Rabbi Lewis resigned to go to
California, the Board proposed a 30% increase in
salary in order to offer the next rabbi a competitive
salary.

The next rabbi was Sidney Ballon of
Columbia, SC, who was accompanied by his wife
Jean, a cousin to the Hymson-Levenson clan, and
their three children. Rabbi Ballon was the first of our
rabbis to wear ceremonial robes on the pulpit. That
innovation, the beginning of a Temple bulletin, the
birth of the Brotherhood and the institution of
children’s services on Saturday mornings were his
major changes. The names of the children who
attended were listed in the Bulletin, as either reward or
incentive. As always, overcrowding in the Sunday
School was a major problem. The Board purchased
the Williams house next door, providing classrooms
for 50 students, but there was still a need for more
room to accommodate the religious school growth.

Finally, plans were approved and the contract
awarded to Morris L. Levy, a long—time Temple
member whose four children had all been confirmed
here, to build a $34,000 extension to the Temple
behind the Williams House, which could then be
rented out, since we would no longer use it for Sunday
School rooms.

The trials and tribulations of our need, of
building the addition and raising the money were
expounded in an opus written by lrving and Ada Gail
and used at a fundraising evening.

Based on the musical, “South Pacific,” the title
was “South Prolific” and the parodies were performed by
members of the Board. The play, one of several created
by that talented couple, was a huge success and raised a
lot of money. Here is an excerpt, sung to the tune of
“There is Nothing Like a Dame" by that variably talented
cast

We got children, lots of those,
Sundays we go on a spree,

It’s a habit, I suppose,

When they go to school, were free...
We got time for fun and pleasure
And we propagate the race...

But what ain’t we got?
We ain’t got SPACE!

Now with architect and plan,
We attacked the building code...
On the march with every man,
How the tempers did explode!
We present the finished product
Of our efforts, high and low,

But what ain’t we got?
We ain’t got DOUGH!

Now we’ve got the building built,

Now we’ve got the space we need
But we're mortgaged to the hilt.

Hell, we hardly own the deed.

Now we‘ve got the rooms and closets
And a place we‘re proud to show...

But what ain’t we got?
We ain’t got DOUGH!

Temple Archives In Danqer!!!!

Lowell Nigoff and Garry Hoover of the 100'h
Anniversary Committee need help identifying individuals in
photos in our Temple archives. These pictures, dated from the
early 1900’s until the 1990s, are an irreplaceable part of our
history and are in DANGER of becoming obscure, as many are
not identified.

If you would like to help, please give us a call and we
will arrange to meet you at the Temple. We know you will enjoy
looking at these photos as much as we have, and your help will
be greatly appreciated.

An additional note: On October 4, Renee Hymson, Lowell
Nigoff and l, (Harriett Rose) spent a couple of hours identifying
the people in some old pictures that have been sent in for the
100th Anniversary Year archives. it was really fun and we
enjoyed it, but there are faces we know whose names won‘t
come to mind. They have left Lexington but were here long
enough to participate or they are children whose looks now
don’t resemble their early pictures. If you can help identify
these people, call Lowell Nigoff at 278-5220 to add your
expertise to this search of names.

lessons surrounding the holiday of Thanksgiving. Our
students dressed up as Pilgrims and Native Americans, and
came together for a Thanksgiving feast that was enjoyed by
all! It was fun to recognize how much we have to be thankful
for! Since Hannukah will occur during our Winter Break, we
will spend the beginning of December learning all about the
holiday and we will have an early celebration with latkes,
dreidles, menorahs and more! The Preschool Shabbat will
be on December 5th at 6:30 PM.

Our Holiday ShOpping Fair was a wonderful

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL NEWS
Jane Grisé—Director

November was filled
with lots of activities at
Religious School and more
activities will be coming in
December. On November 7‘“,
our Fourth Grade class led
our Shabbat Around The Dinner Table Service. They did
a beautiful job of picking out their favorite colors and
relating these colors to Shabbat. Thanks to Elissa Brown
for her coordination of this service. On November 14‘“, we
honored our Religious School Directors and teachers with
a wonderful Chinese dinner. Our students decorated
placemats and cards for the past principals and all of our
teachers. On December 7‘“, we will be having Renee
Brachfield and Mark Novak come and delight us with
Jewish Storytelling. December 14th is the Hanukah Fair.
Come and enjoy the celebration.

Last month, I updated everyone on the activities of
our 9th and 10‘“ graders. This month, i want to focus on
the new programs that we have developed for 7th and 8th
grade. The 7‘h graders have had a full program learning
about other religions. They have visited a variety of
churches and have had many interesting visitors come
into the classroom. in January, our kitchen will be filled
with delicious smells as the class will have the opportunity
to cook with Bobbi Fried. They will make brisket, honey
cake, challah, and lots of other tasty dishes. They will also
learn about Jewish humor with Drew Fried while their
culinary creations are cooking. In February, the 7m
graders will start a wonderful unit on Jewish identity with
Wendy Waltman.

The 8‘h graders have spent this fall learning about
Judaism through film. They have watched films about
anti-Semitism in the 50‘s. They have also watched
Jewish—related films such as the Marx Brothers. Corey
Erdmann has been the “Film Director” and teacher for this
class. The students have also been introduced to Yiddish
and Sholom Aleichem with Etta Pollan and have had fun
learning about the Bintel Brief (the Jewish version of Ann
Landers) with Fran Bloom.

Thanks to all of these great teachers for giving
their time to our Religious School and helping us to
educate our children.

 

TRYB NEWS

On October 19, TRYB went to the UK Children's Hospital
to volunteer after Sunday School. We played bingo with
the patients, and after two exciting rounds, we went from
room to room with the gigantic toy cart. Every child picked
their favorite items, including books, stuffed animals, and a
various assortment of games. We all had a great time,
and it was a great opportunity for all of us to give back to
the community.

committees for a very enjoyable and profitable
evening. The evening provided great food, great

from the evening’s proceeds. A big THANK YOU
to everyone thatjoined in the fun and also to
those who were unable to attend, but so
generously supported our efforts. How about a

GOLDMAN UNION CAMP INSTITUTE

Our children are our connection to the Jewish
future. In order to insure that this Jewish future is strong
and vital, we bring our children to religious school and
Hebrew school, attend services, and celebrate the Jewish
holidays. Whenever possible, we further our own Jewish
