From the Rabbi
This is a season of change. We are in
the middle of the period of the
Counting of the Omer. Starting on
the second day of Passover, our
tradition counts off fifty days
between the festivals of Passover and
Shavuot. Last month we celebrated
our ancestors’ release from slavery
to freedom. Now we are, as it were,
crossing the Reed Sea, counting the
days between Egypt and our
acceptance of the Torah of
responsibility for the quality of our
lives and relationships. We are
wandering freely in the wilderness of
uncertainly about the future. It will
be the responsibility of each and
every one of you to shape that
future. As you undertake that
challenge, I would like to recommend
that love be the guiding force as you
transition into the next phase of
community life at Temple Israel.
Some of you already know that I am
about to begin a transition of my
own. I will be saying goodbye to all
of you during the next month or so
while getting ready to move to my
next interim assignment. Saying
goodbye is the hardest part of my
work. I will certainly miss all of you.
But I know that I’m leaving you in
very good hands.
Between now and the end of June, I
hope that we will have the
conversations we need to have to
say goodbye to each other. As some
of you have already heard, I will be
serving a congregation in Cheshire,
Connecticut, next year. Although I
will no longer be your rabbi after
June, I will be checking in with Rabbi
Bodney-Halasz from time to time to
see how you are faring together.
Shalom v’ahavah
Nosh, Schmooze At Kiddush Luncheon

Rabbi Karen N. Bodney-Halasz Jerome Epstein Family Director of Education
From the Rabbi Educator
The Times They Are a-Changing
As we wrap up the 2015-2016
school year, there is a feeling of great
change and excitement. Over the
past few years the Religious School
Committee and I have wrestled with
the idea that we would need to make
a major change in our school
structure to better adapt to our
demographics. We envisioned a new
model for our program but, with
uncertainty about who the next
Rabbi/Educator would be, we waited
to move forward until now.
From the moment I learned that I
had been chosen for the position of
Senior Rabbi, Carol Finley and I
began searching for the right
individual to take over the position
of Rabbi/Educator. After
interviewing several candidates, I am
thrilled to announce that Rabbi Tina
M. Sobo will be joining our Temple
Israel clergy team in July. Rabbi
Sobo, who will be ordained from
HUC-JIR in Cincinnati later this
month, brings many talents that will
compliment and enrich our Temple
Staff. She is a trained Jewish
Educator, with extensive experience
in both formal and informal
classrooms. Her passion in the
rabbinate is bringing Judaism into
everyday life through awareness and
through integration of the "religious"
and "secular." Rabbi Sobo’s
Rabbinical
Thesis is
entitled
Mastering
Middot: Moral
Development at
Jewish Summer
Camp. Her
capstone
project for her
MA in Religious
Education was
entitled Molding
Menschlichkeit: Middot for a One-Room
Schoolhouse. Her many qualifications
include serving as Director of Jewish
Life, at URJ 6 Points Sports Academy
in Greensboro, NC, for three years,
and as Assistant Director of Kulanu,
the Reform Jewish High School in
Cincinnati, since 2012. As you can
see by her interests, Rabbi Sobo is
the perfect person to help us
reimagine our children’s classroom
experience and lead our school to
new heights. I am looking forward to
introducing you all to Rabbi Sobo,
her husband Matt, and their newborn
daughter Stephanie. You’ll have an
opportunity to meet them when they
join us as guests at the Teacher
Appreciation and College Send-Off
Share Shabbat on Friday, May 6.
Rabbi Sobo will also be joining us for
our Annual meeting on Wednesday,
May 25.
At the beginning of this month
parents should receive registration
packets for the 2016-2017 school
year. Beginning this fall, our school
structure will shift to a multi-grade
format that, I believe, will allow for
more creativity and engagement of
students. We will offer four distinct
classes based on our current
enrollment: PreK-2, 3-5, 6-8, and the
9-10 Confirmation Class. Please
remember to turn registration forms
in to the Temple office before May
31 to qualify for Early Bird
Registration discounts.
The next Religious School
Committee meeting will be
Wednesday, May 5 at 6:30 p.m. at the
Red Robin restaurant located at 6404
Miller Lane.

Tina M. Sobo
Community Yom HaShoah Event
Join the Jewish community of Dayton at Temple Israel on Sunday, May 1 for the annual Holocaust Remembrance
Program. The event is free and open to everyone. Submissions for the Max and Lydia May Art and Writing contest
will be on display beginning at 3:00 p.m. Guest speaker and holocaust survivor Conrad Weiner will speak at 4:00 p.m.
This event is sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton.
Yom HaShoah, is a memorial day for those who died in the Holocaust. Shoah, which means catastrophe or utter
destruction in Hebrew, refers to the atrocities that were committed against the Jewish people during World War II.
Holocaust is from a Greek word meaning "sacrifice by fire." Yom HaShoah falls on the 27th of Nisan.

run until May 22, the last day of Religious School. All food collected will be
donated to the Dayton Foodbank. The Foodbank is committed to relieving
hunger through the acquisition and distribution of food to those who are
hungry throughout the Miami Valley. They strive to ensure that food relief is
available in their service area to all who suffer from hunger.
As an incentive to the Religious School classes, we will be incorporating
some healthy competition between the classes. The class who brings in the
most canned items will be awarded with a yet-to-be-determined prize! I
highly encourage you and your family to participate in this drive, every
canned item makes a difference! After all, the first step to repairing the
world, tikkun olam, is making a difference within your local community.

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, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017.
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. But we hope that those who can will increase their contributions 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.
