Inspirational Holocaust Speaker

Chris Edmonds is the son of WWII hero Master Sargent Roddie Edmonds, who saved the

lives of more than 200 Jewish American soldiers. Chris is the Senior Pastor at Piney Grove

Baptist Church in Maryville, TN. Recently Pastor Chris received

Righteous Among the Nations on behalf of his father from the

Nation of Israel and Yad Vashem, the World’s Holocaust

Remembrance Authority. It is the highest honor given by the

Nation of Israel to non-Jews who rescued Jews during the

Holocaust. Master Sargent Roddie Edmonds died in 1985. He was

the fifth American to be recognized by Yad Vashem as a Righteous

Among the Nations.

Pastor Chris will be on hand at the Jewish Cultural Festival to speak

about his father. Master Sargent Edmonds was captured by the

German army. He was the highest-ranking officer in the prisoner of

war camp and was responsible for the camp’s 1,292 American

POWs, including some 200 American Jewish GIs. When ordered by

the commandant to identify the Jewish soldiers in order to separate

them, Edmonds refused. The German commandant placed his pistol

against Edmonds’ head, demanding that he identify the Jewish soldiers. Edmonds responded,

“We are all Jews here,” refusing to identify the Jewish soldiers, thereby saving their lives.

From the Rabbi

Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz Senior Rabbi

Who is ready for festival fun and

Shabbatot in the sun? Summer is the

right time to recharge, reconnect,

and renew our commitments to our

spiritual selves. Let’s face it, we all

need it.

This year has been emotionally

taxing. Houses of worship -

synagogues, mosques, and churches –

have been hit hard. We are

exhausted by the hate and violence

that surrounds us. Stories of anti-

Semitism shared from one generation

to the next feel unsettlingly relevant.

Over the past few years we have

increased our synagogue security and

taken steps to ensure that everyone

feels safe here. Yet, even when the

odds of an attack at Temple are less

likely than a lightning strike, a fearful

undertone remains.

At times like this I turn to the book

of Joshua, where it is written: “Be

strong and courageous. Do not be

frightened, and do not be dismayed,

for Adonai your God is with you

wherever you go.” After taking the

necessary precautions, the best

response to violence is to live our

lives as fully and as normally as

possible. I learned this lesson from

my Israeli neighbors when I lived in

Israel during times of unrest. We

must keep on going with the same

joie de vivre as before. If we stop out

of fear, terrorism wins. Rather, we

must continue to practice gemilut

chasadim, acts of loving kindness, and

work for a brighter world and a

better Dayton. One in which we live

harmoniously with our neighbors,

embracing our diversity.

Since the Holocaust, Jews and allies

have sworn to remember and

educate others so that hate would

never plague our communities again.

But anti-Semitism never actually

disappeared. Nor did racism,

religious fanaticism, or Islamaphobia.

Truly, there is a tremendous amount

of work to do. Following the deadly

attack at Chabad in Poway,

California, Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein

wrote in an op-ed: “All I can do is try

to find meaning in what has

happened. And to use this

borrowed time to make my life

matter more.” His words are spot-

on. We cannot spend the short time

each of us has upon this earth living

in fear. And we will not separate

Lay-Led Services

Services and Torah study will be lay-

led on the following dates: May 31,

June 1, 14, 15, July 5, 6, 12, 13,

26, 27, August 16, 17, 30 and 31.

Please note: Should you prefer to

have a loved one's yahrzeit read on a

rabbis, please contact the office.

ourselves from our sources of

spiritual nourishment – our houses

of prayer.

This is why our Jewish Cultural

Festival is so important. It’s not just

because it is our main fundraiser and

involves hundreds of congregants

working together for a common

purpose. It is because when we

open our doors to the community

and invite the public in, year after

year, we forge relationships with

individuals with whom we never

would have otherwise. Our

outreach to those unfamiliar with

Judaism helps bridge the gap between

us and offers a glimpse of shared

ideals. By working to eliminate fear

of the unknown and building new

alliances, eventually love and

understanding will conquer hate.

Especially now, when we are more

inclined to keep our doors locked,

we must break down barriers,

engage with the greater community,

and embrace our shared destiny.

Here in Dayton we are surrounded

by wonderful friends and allies. Our

community has proven it stands with

us in solidarity, not just in the

aftermath of violence, but when hate

spews from the Courthouse Square.

Now is the time for us, the Jewish

community, to be strong and

courageous. May God continue to

be with us in all of our worthy

endeavors. And may we breathe

deeply the air of hope and healing

during the upcoming summer

months.

Shabbat Under the

Stars

Celebrate Shabbat on Friday, July

19 under a canopy of stars, as we

move our worship beyond the walls

of our sanctuary. Services will be at

be held indoors.

Join us for Torah on Tap on

Monday, July 1. Meet at the Barrel

House, 417 E. Third St., at 6:00 p.m.

Gather with new friends for some

drinks and discussion about topics

It’s Time To Renew Your Membership

This month, you will receive a packet showing your past contributions and

asking you to set your membership contribution for Temple’s new fiscal year,

beginning July 1, 2019 and ending June 30, 2020.

Please return your completed form as soon as possible. Suzanne

Shaw, Temple Israel's Executive Director, will set up your membership

account based on your response.

Temple never denies membership to anyone for financial reasons.

We hope that those who can will increase their contribution in the coming

year.

When you voluntarily increase your membership contribution, you

help sustain Temple’s programs and services both for yourself and for

our community. Member donations make up half of Temple’s revenues, and

the balance comes mostly from Temple Israel Foundation and fundraising.

If you can afford to give more, please do. We count on you. Increase

from regular to mitzvah membership ($1875), or from a mitzvah membership

to Lamed Vav membership ($2400), or anywhere in between. If you’re

already a Lamed Vav member, consider giving more if you can. Your

donations allow us to remain a vibrant center of Judaism for our entire

community.

Temple Volunteers Do It Again!

The Second Seder on April 20 was a resounding success thanks in large part

to the many volunteers that donated their time and effort to the event.

The meal would not have turned out as deliciously as it did without the help

of those in the kitchen. From cooking to serving, these Temple members

made the Second Seder happen: Beth Adelman, Katherine and Paul Cooper,

Marcia Cox, Cherish Cronmiller, Mary Anne Davis (who also provided the

beautiful flowers for the tables), Pam Feldman, Dee Fried, Carol Graff,

Maxine Halasz, Karin Hirschkatz, Robin Kent, Sandy Kulback, Amy Margolin,

Peggy Weller, Gary Pacernick, Richard Saphire, Linda and Joel Shapiro, Sam

Tobias, and Teresa Wyman. Special thanks are due to Jodi Chaiten, who

made the vegetarian matzo balls for the vegetarian offering.

What is a meal without dessert? Our wonderful bakers outdid themselves

with a beautiful array of homemade goodies. Kudos to: Pam Feldman, Sandy

Kulback, Marcia Cox, Carol Graff, Linda Albert, Cathy Lieberman, Amy

Margolin and Penny Brenner. Dan Young provided scrumptious mixed fruit

for a healthy alternative.

A big round of applause goes to Mike Fiore and Scott Francis who were on

cleanup duty. Their task looked overwhelming but they tackled it and were

out of the building about midnight. What a job, to clean everything and get it

put away in a matter of a few hours!

And let’s not forget Linda Novak, who for the past two years has been our

fearless leader who shopped, cooked, coordinated and oversaw all of the

preparations. Thanks Linda!

If you enjoyed the evening please reach out to any of the names you see

above and let them know how much you appreciated their efforts.

From the Rabbi Educator/Events

Religious School

Don’t forget to register for the 2019-2020 religious school

year. Our comprehensive curriculum includes a

progressive academic program as well as Jewish dance,

music and art, while our experienced faculty makes

learning fun for students in pre-K through tenth grade.

Temple Israel Dayton Youth

First and foremost, a HUGE thank

you to everyone who helped make

Mitzvah Day a success: whether you

donated materials, participated, or

helped supervise. I want to especially

thank Linda Novak, Ben Sexton, and

Teresa Wyman for helping cart

materials around Temple and prep

some of the projects. I also want to

thank Rita Rich, Michele Allen, Dee

Fried and Alana Kitchen who stepped

in alongside our teachers and

madrichim to help supervise some of

the projects to make sure everything

ran smoothly. I also want to thank,

though I can’t list all the names,

everyone who jumped in on Sunday

morning to help with last-minute

modifications necessitated by the

flooding of the office, so that we

could start on time.

I’m pleased to report the success of

our many projects! The 5th-8th

graders spent about two hours at

Kettering Backpacks assembling bags.

Kettering Backpacks serves students

whose families are experiencing food

insecurity, helping to ensure that

students have healthy food to eat

from Friday afternoon when they

leave school until they return on

Monday. On site, the Preschool-4th

Rabbi Tina Sobo Jerome Epstein Family Director of

Education

graders, and some adult helpers,

assembled 75 snack bags and 42

activity bags that have been

delivered to Artemis Center.

Artemis Center works to help those

experiencing domestic violence.

These bags will be given to children

who come to the center who need a

snack before or during counseling

sessions, or something to do while

their parent receives the help they

need to get to a safer situation. The

students also made 42 dog toys and

about 120 cat toys for SICSA’s

animal shelter. SICSA serves rescue

animals and makes sure that animals

are not only physically taken care of,

but mentally stimulated with toys just

for them, to prevent the spread of

diseases that can happen at shelters

due to shared toys/play areas.

Students also baked five large

loaves of challah, two batches of

brownies, and prepared a few

batches of ready-to-bake cookie

dough balls that Temple can use to

supplement onegs, at special events,

or to give guests a literal taste of

Judaism.

We already thanked our teaching

staff – teachers and madrichim – at

last month’s Share Shabbat, but it is

with deep gratitude to them, and our

whole Temple community who

supports the religious school, that

another terrific year is ‘in the bag’. I

can tell you that I’m already deep

into planning for the coming school

year, and would love to have you be

a part of it. Here are some ways to

get involved:

Think about becoming a teacher or

madrich. E-mail me if you are

interested, or to refer someone you

think would be great!

Share an idea. Have something the

religious school could do that is

experiential (hands-on) learning? Let

me know. We are looking to up our

service project game in the coming

year.

Like to bake or cook Jewish foods?

We are also upping our gustatory

game next year and will need some

volunteers to help guide little hands

in the kitchen as we learn (and taste!)

Jewish history from around the

world.

Have some other talent? Tell me! If

it fits in the curriculum, we’d love to

build relationships between students

& all the families in the congregation.

Volunteer! I can always find

something useful for you to do –

during the week or on a Sunday. Just

let me know when you are available.

Once again, thank you for making

this year great, and I look forward to

welcoming you all back on August

18 for our first day of the 2019-

2020 year!
