Every year, around this time, I grab a pen and notebook and head outdoors. I find a peaceful place to sit and start writing. It’s when I set intentions for the new year. What are my goals? How do I want to feel each day? What needs repairing – and how can I do my part? Writing gives a sense of clarity to the thoughts that would otherwise just swirl around in my head.
A long time ago, around this time of year, Moshe grabbed a couple of stone tablets and a chisel, and set out to a very special place to write. The circumstances were a little different than my own pre-High Holiday journaling practice. In the Torah, Moshe had already received the first set of tablets, inscribed with the Ten Commandments, and smashed them upon seeing the Israelites worshiping the golden calf. In the beginning of the month of Elul, Moshe ascends Mount Sinai for a second time. He returns to receive the commandments again, to inscribe new tablets to replace the broken ones. He is up on Mount Sinai for another 40 days, returning with the new tablets on the 10 th of Tishrei – the same date on which we observe Yom Kippur.
On that day, when Moshe returns with the new tablets, the Israelites can be fully forgiven for worshiping the golden calf. Those 40 days have been spent repairing the relationship with God, parallelling the 40 days between Rosh H odesh Elul and Yom Kippur which are a time of teshuva, of repentance and repair, for us today.

Simh . at Torah Honorees
Simhat Torah, the highlight of our Jewish calendar, is a time of great joy and celebration. On Simhat Torah evening and morning, we jubilantly mark the completion of the annual cycle of Torah readings, underscoring our love and the importance of learning. The honor of being given the final aliyah of the Torah and the first one is the highest honor we can bestow upon anyone. This year we honor Adam Samansky – Hatan Torah, and Linda Skolnik— Kallat Bereisheet. Adam and Linda have given so much to our community, and we are blessed to have them as volunteers and leaders of Temple Emunah.
They will be honored on Thursday night, October 24, when we will also celebrate our kindergartners as they receive their mini-Torah scrolls and start the next phase of their Jewish learning (more details on pages 5 and 26).
Adam and Linda will receive their special aliyot on Friday morning, October 25, followed by a festive kiddush luncheon in their honor.Please celebrate with us! Mazal tov to Adam and Linda and their families!
Rabbi David Lerner
Adam Samansky
Adam and Emily, along with their children Galete, Eli, and Yael have been members at Emunah since 2014. Adam currently serves as the chair of the Security Committee and when not manning the front door, will occasionally lend his voice to lead services. He’s also active with the Israel Committee and at times assists the board with legal matters.

Linda Skolnik
Linda has been a member of Temple Emunah for 20 years. She and husband Ira joined when their son Jonah, now 25 years and a Law School student, started in Emunah’s Gan, and when their daughter Zara, now 20 years and a college junior, was born. Linda’s commitment to Emunah started as a Tot Shabbat Leader, then as a volunteer in the Religious School, and it grew stronger from there!

President's Message
Temple Emunah as an Expression of Divine Love
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are soon upon us. I look forward both to the process of preparing myself, and the celebration of the High Holy Days. Step 1 for me is reviewing my actions and interactions during the year. If I have had any difficult interactions with anyone, I try to connect and make sure they are willing to forgive any inadvertent pain I may have caused. I look forward to clearing up any issues between us.
I regularly use Yoga Nidra to relax my body and mind to achieve a state of peaceful clear-headedness. Sometimes, I have a new insight that helps me resolve a problem or change my approach. I can use this same clear-headed state for Step 2: Review what I have done in the last year and ask myself if I have been living my Jewish values, i.e., every interaction with another person must be done genuinely with openness, respect, and caring; learning along the way; and daily acknowledgment of my gratitude. And I am taking time to engage in my creative outlets.
I enjoy praying with our community on the High Holidays, and the feeling of exhilaration and joy after the Shofar is blown to end Yom Kippur.
We have a strong Board this year! I will enjoy collaborating with them on my top three priorities:
• to work with the two developers: 5/7 Piper Rd, and 329/331 Concord Ave to protect Temple Emunah’s interests,
• to build community engagement, and
• to continue the work that began last year on a longterm, strategic plan for Temple Emunah.
The Community Forum will be our vehicle to ensure community input and alignment with our priorities and plans.
May each of us be inscribed for a good, healthy, and peaceful new year! Shanah Tovah!
And may we soon see the return of the hostages and a good resolution of the war for Israel that ends the war in Gaza and stops the missile/drone attacks on Israel. So much healing is needed for us all.

Adam Samansky
Adam grew up in Great Neck, NY and came to the Boston area as an undergrad at Brandeis University, where he completed the pre-med track, obtained a political science degree and – most importantly – met Emily. A graduate of Suffolk University Law School, Adam is a partner in the intellectual property section at Mintz Levin, focusing on biopharmaceutical and medical device patent and trade secret litigation in federal courts across the country. He also leads Mintz’s intellectual property practice in Israel, working for some of Israel’s largest companies including Teva Pharmaceuticals and Keter Plastics.
Prior to law school, Adam held a Master’s License and Commission in the United States Merchant Marine. He taught sailing and ran search and rescue operations on Long Island Sound and Boston Harbor. He was also a three-time member of the United States Goodwill Long Range Rifle Team, winning individual and team awards in the United States and Canadian National Matches in the early 2000s. He still holds the Massachusetts State Championship record he set in 2006.
After serving on the Religious School Committee, she took on the role of Emunah Religious School Chair. In 2013, Linda created the Hineni Connecting Team (HCT), which brings together compassionate, trained volunteers with congregants who are elderly, ill, or isolated, via in-person or telephone 1:1 visits. The HCT brings Refuah Shleymah Shabbat bags to congregants who are ill or recovering from surgery and welcome baby bags to our newest members. During COVID, Linda developed and implemented a telephone check-in project, “Temple Emunah Staying Connected.” Volunteer congregants were assigned to call each member family, starting with the most vulnerable members.
Linda has a passion for Jewish music and hopes to participate in more singing and service chanting at Emunah in the future. Professionally, Linda serves as interfaith and Jewish faith-based Staff Chaplain in the Spiritual Care Department of Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital, Boston. She also sits on the board of the Yad Chessed. Aside from music, Linda loves travel, international cooking, and walking nature trails. Linda and her family live in Concord.

Adult Education
Fall Adult Education Offerings
The new year means new opportunities for learning at Temple Emunah. Brush up on skills or try something new as you connect with Temple Emunah friends in one of our adult education offerings.
Our rabbis continue to teach on Wednesday morning at our Breakfast and Study program. Lively conversation accompanied by delicious breakfast is a great way to start the day. If morning doesn’t work, there will be many other opportunities coming up to study with our rabbis.
Fall can be hectic, and taking some time to slow down and meditate can help. Join Barbara Neustadt (barbneus7@gmail. com) and Rabbi Lerner for Meditation on Tuesday mornings at 8:30 on Zoom.
If Torah study is more up your alley, you can prepare for Shabbat with the weekly Parashah study on Tuesday afternoons. Perhaps you would enjoy the Perek Yomi group that meets regularly to read and discuss Torah (contact Larry Marin at lbmlbm@aol.com), or Talmud Study with Dr. Ely Stillman (contact Louis Stuhl at lstuhl@verizon.net).
The Bess Ezekiel Rosh H . odesh Group welcomes all to monthly, informal, participant-inspired get-togethers. Meetings are led by members of the community on a variety of topics of interest to women. Contact Amy Rosenstein (rosensteinamy@gmail.com).
Maybe you want to make 5785 the year you study Hebrew. The Ivrit LaKol program is beginning its 26 th year with a range of classes from Beginner to Advanced. Perhaps there’s a bar/bat/b’mitzvah coming up in your family. Your kids are studying Hebrew – how about you? For more information contact Nancy Lefkowitz (nancylef@gmail.com) or Sharon Kalus (sk4samk@hotmail.com).
Coming this Fall, we have two exciting learning opportunities in conjunction with our learning partners at Temple Isaiah.
Fall for the Arts:
Snapshots of Contemporary Jewish Arts & Culture
The world of Jewish arts and culture is rich, diverse, and continually evolving. Join us this fall in November-December to hear from local artists across multiple genres. They will discuss their work—what inspires and concerns them as Jewish artists and how their fields are evolving.
This short series of programs is being organized as part of the Lexington Institute for Jewish Studies (LIJS) for both Temples Isaiah and Emunah. Watch for dates with full details on speakers and topics coming soon.
The Lexington Collaborative (Temples Emunah and Isaiah) will be offering the following Hebrew College Tamid Adult Learning course this fall with Dr. Jacob Meskin: From Darkness to Light: The New History of Jewish Christian Relations.
Registration is open! Learn with us in-person this Fall at Temple Isaiah.
Registration link: https://bit.ly/3SMKvwr
Be on the lookout for more learning opportunities. We look forward to studying with you in the New Year, and as always we invite and welcome your program ideas.
L’Shanah Tovah!
Sandy Goldstein and Terri Swartz Russell Co-chairs of Adult Education adulted@templeemunah.org.
Foundations for a Thoughtful Judaism: Faith
A Shalom Hartman Institute course taught by Rabbi Willis and Hebrew College Rabbinic Intern Deborah Anstandig Emunah, the name of our community, means faith or trust. What makes people choose to commit to certain faiths or beliefs? What is the role of doubt in a relationship with God? How does faith support or impede us in living an ethical life? Bringing in traditional and contemporary sources, we will explore these questions and more in this monthly discussion based seminar. More information to follow in the coming weeks.
Emunat haLev Meditation Institute
We have two weekly opportunities to meditate with our Emunah community. No meditation experience is needed!
The Tuesday morning meditation group meets on Zoom from 8:30-9:20 AM . The Zoom link can be found in the Emunah calendar or in the weekly Emunah Happenings email. The format of our meditation includes a guided meditation by Barbara Neustadt, sitting in silence, a niggun sung by Cantor Louise Treitman, and a teaching by Rabbi Lerner. There is also time for people to share their experiences.
Musaf meditation on Shabbat meets every Shabbat in person after the Rabbi’s D’var Torah. We meet in either the Pious Chapel or the Social Hall 2.
All are welcome regardless of their meditation experience! Please contact Barbara Neustadt at barbneus7@gmail.com if you would like more information or have questions.

Preschool
Kaytana Summer 2024 Highlights
This summer at The Billy Dalwin Preschool of Temple Emunah has been a rich learning experience, filled with outdoor discovery, artistic expression, scientific exploration, engaging visitors, and much more. Our New England summer has provided a unique learning environment, with the children enjoying the great outdoors as much as possible. From the playground to the gardens, beehive, and Teva, the opportunities for activity and adventure have been abundant. The staff has not only enhanced the outdoor experience with typical items like watering cans, gardening tools, chalk, and bubbles, but also added clipboards, writing instruments, various art supplies, a water pump, and books, expanding opportunities for literacy, art, and science/engineering.
Our beehive has been particularly active, with the bees producing abundantly. Under the guidance of our mentor beekeeper, Mel Gadd, the children have been actively involved in tending to the gardens by watering, weeding, and harvesting delicious fruits and vegetables. They enjoy observing the bees, noting the growth of new honeycomb and propolis, which provides them with a hands-on learning experience.
Science with Becki has been a standout experience! We are fortunate to have her visit frequently over the summer, bringing big science concepts to our little learners meaningfully. From discussing fossils to exploring states of matter, Becki captivates the children with hands-on props and her enthusiasm.
Animal Adventures made a return visit, bringing along fascinating animals that the children could touch and hold. The children were not just thrilled, but also deeply engaged in learning about these animals and how to care for them. Holding a python or alligator was a unique experience that taught them about the care of our world and all its wonderful inhabitants.
The Action Bus provided a unique opportunity for physical activity, allowing the children to work out their big muscles in a gymnastics environment. They felt like “big kids” as they climbed into the school bus for their very own gym class.
Our Yoga instructor, Meg Vyas, continued her visits throughout the summer. The children enjoy the relaxation of yoga and have learned numerous poses. They love playing the harmonium with Meg and relaxing on their mats as she reads stories.
A special visit from Eyes On Owls, a local owl rescue, was a highlight. Marcia and Mark Wilson brought seven rescued owls and read Mark’s book “Owling,” which they generously left for the children to enjoy.
Pumpernickel Puppets returned to delight the children with his captivating one-person puppet shows, “The Lion and the Mouse” and “The Billy Goats Gruff.” Audience participation was a must and the hands-on demonstration of how various puppets and marionettes work was a magical experience for the children.
Summer is flying by, and we’re making memories to last a lifetime!

Religious School / Youth
From the Director of Congregational Learning
This past summer, I had the good fortune to return to Israel. I participated in three different learning opportunities in Jerusalem: Shalom Hartman Institute’s Rabbinic Torah Seminar, Shalom Hartman’s Wellspring Summit for Jewish Educators, and the National Library of Israel’s Inaugural Global Educators Seminar: The Well.
Being in Israel was a true blessing.
More than ever, after the year we experienced, I needed to be there this summer. Being in Israel, I was able to release the built-up tension from the past months. Even with all that is going on in and around the country, I felt safe! I could wear my Jewish star(s) proudly without fear. I didn’t need to defend being a Zionist and lover of Israel.
At the Rabbinic Torah Seminar, I studied text with over 175 rabbis about Liberal Zionism and responding to this moment in our history. At the Wellspring Summit for Jewish Educators, I learned with some 90 Jewish educators about teaching Israel today and battling antisemitism. And at the National Library of Israel I gathered with 16 other Jewish Educators from Belgium, Germany, England, France, Sweden, Colombia, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, and the US to learn about the wealth of materials housed there and how to tap into these primary sources to educate our students.
There is so much I need to process from these professional development opportunities. In the year ahead, we will continue to face many of the challenges with which we ended last year. We will mark our first anniversary of October 7. I look forward to bringing what I’ve learned over the summer into our teaching and programming and to tackling the many challenges before us.
Mark your calendar for the opening of Religious School 5785 and Fall Youth Day, both of which will be on Sunday, September 8, and our Grade 3-12 Youth Retreat at Camp Ramah, November 22-24.
As I do every year, I enter this year excited for all the possibilities before us. I hope you do, too! Sydney Bluman, Tova Weinronk, the faculty of the Religious School and I are looking forward to a great year.

CAMP, ISRAEL, AND SUMMER PROGRAMS SHABBAT
Saturday, October 19, Shabbat Morning Services
This past summer, some sixty Temple Emunah children and teens attended Jewish Day and Overnight Camps or traveled to Israel on an Israel teen travel program. No matter the camp or program, our third through twelfth graders returned with stories, ideas, new passions, points of connection, and an infectious energy. Join us on Camp Israel Shabbat to hear from some of our teens about their summer experiences.
At Temple Emunah, we believe in working to build strong and durable Jewish foundations with our youth. If you or your child has any interest in making the next summer a Jewish one, we are here and want to help.

GRADE 3-12 RETREAT
Friday, November 22 - Sunday, November 24
Join us for our third annual retreat, which will have three tracks: grades 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. It is an incredible bonding experience for our children. Last year we had 50 participants! There is nothing like spending an uninterrupted Shabbat together at camp filled with tefillah, great programs, friends, and good food.
Early bird registration, which is $275, is available through September 6. Starting September 7, the cost will be $325. To register go to: https://templeemunah.shulcloud.com/event/3rd12th-grade-retreat-57841.html. For more information, please contact Me’ir Sherer, DCL, at msherer@templeemunah.org.
JUST WHAT ARE CJE’S?
More than simply “learning” about Judaism, at Temple Emunah we want our children (both Religious School and Day School) to experience Judaism for themselves at our synagogue. We, therefore, identify and promote opportunities for children to experience Jewish life. We call these opportunities Communal Jewish Experiences.
To encourage our children to participate in CJEs, we have developed an incentive based system. Each Communal Jewish Experience in which children participate gives them 1-5 credits, depending on the CJE. Kindergarten through second graders are expected to accrue 4 CJE credits during the year. Students in grades 3-7 are expected to accrue 18. By basing the requirement over the year, families can choose when to attend shul together. Between September and May, there are numerous opportunities in which children (and families) may participate.
To encourage maximum participation, students who accrue 4 or more CJE credits (K-2) or 18 or more CJE credits (3-7) by the end of the school year receive a gift card to Rancatore’s Ice Cream in Lexington Center.
For more information on CJEs and a calendar for this year, please contact Me’ir Sherer, DCL, at msherer@ templeemunah.org.

Sisterhood
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a restful summer.
As I write this article, I am still awaiting our end of the summer family vacation to Truro, while I am still processing all that I’ve been through the past five months and dealing with a new issue from my surgery.
I really appreciate all the support from the Temple Emunah community, especially the many volunteers who have helped with Sisterhook events and assisted in the kitchen as I continue to recover. Although the past few months have been challenging, I have still fulfilled all my obligations to the temple, and I look forward to continued improvement. Part of my recovery is doing as much as I feel comfortable in doing. I have no restrictions, other than my body and mind telling me NO, and I hope everyone will respect this.
I have been thinking about the excitement that the New Year will bring and trying to envision what my continued role as Sisterhood President will bring this year. The Sisterhood Operating Committee (open board and voting members) met during the summer to discuss our calendar plans for 2024/2025. As the holidays are late in October, we will make our programming announcements later. We will continue with our theme of “Partnership.” Sisterhood is trying to increase its support to other groups, committees, and individuals with programming ideas. Sisterhood makes generous fiscal contributions to the Temple Emunah Operational Budget, the Religious School, and Temple Youth programs. In 2024, we made large donations to our partnering programs with “Emunah Re-connect: Mentalist show and dinner” and with Adult Ed, by sponsoring the Zach
Meyers concert (see photos below). We plan on incorporating more programming initiatives during the upcoming calendar year with financial support.
Many thanks to everyone who reached out to support Sisterhood through membership dues, Rosh Hashanah Honey, and Bimah flower sponsorship. Your generosity has enabled us to provide programming free of cost, and we hope to do the same this year too. Special thanks to Cindy Bobrow and Sheila Kojm for their support in our fundraising initiatives.
I welcome those who may not have sent their dues in this year but wish to do so to support Sisterhood and the things we do. Membership dues are $36.00 per year and can be paid either through the office or directly to Sisterhood.
Flower sponsorship can be for any occasion – holiday greetings, yahrzeit or other remembrances, birthdays, anniversaries, or new babies. Or simply to express your appreciation and well wishes. Flower sponsorship is $100. Please email Sheila Kojm at Bimahflowers@gmail.com to arrange your sponsorship
In addition to the support of my Operating Committee members, I also must note the continued support of Rabbi Lerner, Rabbi Willis and the temple administration staff, and most importantly, the tremendous support of my husband David.
I am always available to listen to your suggestions, complaints, or anything else that you have on your mind. Please contact me at janet.goldberg2@verizon.net.
I hope that this New Year brings you and your family peace and happiness always.
L’shanah Tova, Janet Goldberg, Sisterhood President janet.goldberg2@verizon.net
Over 100 people came to hear Zach Mayer and Friends play original melodies that were a mixture of Jewish songs, niggunim, and Hebrew chants. Thanks to the Sisterhood for their support of this concert!
Brotherhood / Disability Inclusion
Shalom H . averim!
We hope everyone had an enjoyable summer!
First off, I would like to thank Scott Damsky for his service as Brotherhood President over the past few years. As the new year begins, I intend to continue the great work he has started here at Temple Emunah.
This summer, the Brotherhood had a wonderful gathering in July at the Mighty Squirrel, where we enjoyed a few beers and connected with each other. A special thank you to Larry Bressler for spearheading this event once again this year. We look forward to many more gatherings throughout the year.
As we approach the new year, our Brotherhood activities will ramp up before Rosh Hashanah with Yizkor Book assembly and Sukkah building. These preparations will ensure we are ready for Yom Kippur and Sukkot. We will be meeting on Sunday mornings starting September 1 to undertake these important tasks. We welcome anyone who would like to help.
This fall, we will kick off our speaker series, once again led by Alan Silver. We are excited about the excellent lineup of speakers we have planned for this year.
Looking ahead, we are organizing multiple events around various holidays, along with our monthly board breakfasts featuring bagels, lox, and cream cheese; whiskey tastings, and more. We encourage any interested men to join us – please check the calendar on our website for dates and details.
I look forward to seeing you this fall at Emunah. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about the Brotherhood.
L’Shanah Tovah!
Ben Bloomenthal, Brotherhood President brotherhood@templeemunah.org
Cafe Emumah Starts in September
The Back Magic Coffee Cart will be coming on Sunday mornings, sponsored by the Ladle Fund. Get your mugs ready!
What is Disability Inclusion?
Disability Inclusion is the practice of including people with disabilities in everyday activities so that they have the same opportunities as their peers who do not have disabilities. Disabilities can be visible or non-visible. Some invisible disability examples are ADHD, Autism, mental illnesses, addiction, dyslexia, hearing loss, vision loss and chronic pain. A visible disability usually presents itself in a physical form that is easily noticeable based on a person’s appearance, movements or facial expressions. In some instances, they may require the assistance of devices such as a wheelchair, cane, crutches or a walker.
At Temple Emunah we strive to include members with disabilities by making the building accessible or providing accommodations. Accessibility features at temple are bathroom stalls that are larger than standard stalls with wide doors that wheelchair users can go through, a ramp up to the bimah, an elevator from the lower level up to the sanctuary, large print and Braille Siddurim, audio aids, ear plugs, reading glasses, and specially marked seats in the sanctuary for wheelchair users. Accommodations used at Temple Emunah are sensory tactile manipulatives for those with sensory processing dysfunction and quiet areas for those who need a break from the noise and activity. The Religious School provides accommodations for students with learning disabilities. Please contact Doreen Grossman with concerns or questions regarding accessibility at Temple Emunah and ideas for future programs.

Family Table
Keep on Giving and Supporting JF&CS Family Table
For those in our Temple Emunah Community who are less familiar with Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JF&CS) Family Table or for those who can benefit from a reminder about the mission of Family Table, the goal is to end hunger in the Greater Boston Jewish community while serving people who need assistance regardless of religious affiliation.
Family Table fulfills its mission by providing kosher food, creating a caring Jewish connection, and empowering people to make healthy eating a part of their daily lives.
JF&CS does this by offering:
• Nutritious groceries, including fresh produce and whole grain products
• Jewish holiday and ritual items, including challah and Shabbat candles
• Personal hygiene items such as soap, toothpaste, and shampoo
• Healthy recipes and recipe tastings using pantry foods
• Connections to programs that help families move from crisis to stability
Family Table serves more than 100 towns across Greater Boston, the North Shore, and the South Area. Currently, Family Table is helping more than 500 families each month with groceries and connections to other services.
Donate funds to Family Table on a regular basis on the Temple Emunah website so that we can purchase food for those receiving assistance through JF&CS. If you leave brown rice and whole wheat crackers (see cracker guide below) in the bins at the Temple Emunah entryway, we will see that they are delivered.
If you wish to volunteer to help pack and deliver food, please contact familytable@jfcsboston.org or 781-693-5593 for details. Young children accompanied by adults are welcome to participate in this activity. In this way, children experience hands-on tzedakah and truly come to understand that they can make a difference in people’s lives. Last year, Family Table volunteers packed more than 35,000 bags and made more than 3,300 grocery deliveries to clients who might otherwise have gone without.
The upcoming distribution dates in Waltham, MA are Sept. 8, Nov. 3, and Dec. 8.
If you have any questions about Family Table, please contact one of us. We are happy to provide you with additional information. Be sure to look for the flyer requesting donations of brown rice and whole wheat crackers on Kol Nidrei.
We appreciate your support and ongoing generosity in making Temple Emunah a major contributor to the success of the Family Table program.

Ladle Fund
The Ladle Fund
Founded by Fred Ezekiel, a longtime, active member of Temple Emunah, the Ladle Fund supports innovative activities that strengthen our community through events aimed at enriching relationships.
Ladle Fund events reflect community interests and have supported Sunday morning breakfasts, Shabbat speakers, synagogue-wide holiday celebrations, Israel programming, and social events open to the entire congregation.
Ladle Fund events can be organized by our synagogue programming staff, committees, or individuals or by the Ladle Fund Committee itself.
In recent months, the Ladle Fund has devoted resources “block grant” style to the professional staff to support programs which meet the programming criteria of the fund. This coming year, along with contributions from the Bess Ezekiel Fund aimed at inter-generational programming, the Ladle Fund is helping to fund community Shabbat dinners, Holiday programming, and other events open to the whole community.
Our ongoing support of the Themed Minyanim will be maintained. We thank Bob Russman-Halperin (who has moved to Pennsylvania) for all of his years of partnership with Joelle Gunther as the co-chair of this vital program. It will take some
time to determine how to go forward but we are committed to trying to engage small groups of people with interest in a particular topic following evening minyan.
Our most exciting news is that Fred Ezekiel has made a new gift to the Ladle Fund intended to support unique, special programs over the next 3-5 years. These programs are meant to be those which are impactful but without financial support. Look for news about these specific, new, and innovative ideas coming to fruition starting in 2024/2025.
The Ladle Fund is still open to accepting applications for support from temple committees or individuals looking to bring programs to the community meeting the Ladle Fund charter. Please do ask for a Ladle Fund Request Form at ladlefund@ templeemunah.org.
Finally, if we have found favor in your eyes, I would encourage you to support our work via donation to the Ladle Fund.
To make a donation:
• Click on Donations in the Membership Log-in page of the Temple Emunah website and choose Ladle Fund.
• Contact the main office: 781-861-0300 or office@templeemunah.org
The Ezekiel Family is grateful to be able to support innovative activity at Temple Emunah and to all of you who have helped to sustain the Ladle Fund since its inception.

Rabbi's Message
(continued from page 1)
The second tablets are not an identical replacement of the first set. The first tablets, the Torah records, were given to Moshe, complete, carved by God. The second tablets are inscribed by God, but carved by Moshe. The second tablets are written in partnership between God and Moshe.
But this is not the only difference. A midrash in Exodus Rabbah teaches that while the first tablets had the Ten Commandments written on them, with the second tablets, God gives us midrash, legends, and legal interpretations. As Rabbi Jill Hammer writes in The Jewish Book of Days, “The second tablets somehow mystically contain all the future commentaries of the Jewish people. The first tablets were fixed; the second will grow as the people grow.” The second tablets are not only a collaboration of God and Moshe, but between God and all of us. The midrash reminds us that Judaism is not something static which we simply receive from on high. Rather, we are active co-creators of our Judaism.
Throughout the High Holiday liturgy, we frequently invoke the image of God writing in a book. It is the Book of Life, in which we hope to be inscribed and sealed, for a year of life
Join us for the
Installation of Rabbi Elianna Willis
as our new Assistant Rabbi
Shabbat morning, September 28
This is a momentous occasion as we welcome Rabbi Willis and her husband, Zach Mayer, into our Emunah family. We will celebrate with a special Kiddush luncheon in her honor.
and good fortune. When I picture this scene, God often feels far away, and high above me, as if on a distant mountaintop. But what if this book is not like the first set of tablets - set in stone and handed over only once it is completed? What if it is more like the second set - an invitation to collaborate with God, and an opportunity to tell our own stories?
This Elul, as we reflect on the past year, and each doing the teshuva that needs to be done, we also look ahead to the coming year. What stories do we want to tell about ourselves and our lives this year? Where do we want to grow? When challenges inevitably arise, how will we rise to meet them? What do we want our Judaism to look and feel like, and how can we make it more our own?
Whatever your preferred method of personal reflection, I encourage you to take some time for yourself to consider these questions, and your own. As I get to know the Temple Emunah community better, I’d love to hear from you, and connect about what’s alive for you now and your dreams for the coming year. May we all be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life.
