With the help of our Adult Education Committee co-chairs, Loren Elliot and Freya Sachs, we are excited to kick off our Adult Education series for the year with special programs and speakers dedicated to our theme of Think Globally, Learn Locally: Jewish Experiences Across Time and Place. Friday evening, October 30th we will the honor of hearing from Dr. Gary P. Zola, the Executive Director of the Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives (AJA) and the

Edward M. Ackerman Family Distinguished Professor of the American Jewish Experience & Reform Jewish History at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) in Cincinnati. Dr. Zola is here as a part of the Southern Jewish Historical Society Conference being held in Nashville that weekend, and we are honored to host members of the conference at services that Shabbat. Aswealsoseektotapintosomeofourmembers’expertiseandfieldsofstudy,onSunday, November 1 we begin our two-part series with Rabbi Schiftan and Dr. David Barton on the Book of Job: Heartache to Holiness. Each month after that, through the Spring, we have special learning events and opportunities, alongside our many and varied on-going learning programs including weekly Chevrah Torah (Saturday morning Torah Study in English), Women’s Torah Study on Thursdays, Lunch with the Rabbi, Adult Hebrew, Conversion Conversations, W.E.L.L. (Women Engaged in Living and Learning), the Temple Book Club and more. We are eager to host Rabbi Deborah Prinz for our special monthly program in December,asshewillbeourScholar-in-Residencethefirstweekendofthemonth,discussingher new book, On the Chocolate Trail: A Delicious Adventure Connecting Jews, Religions, History, Travel, Rituals and Recipes to the magic of Cacao. It is sure to be a “treat.” Rabbi Mark Glickman will be our Scholar-in-Residence for January (21-24) as he discusses the amazing discoveries found in the Sacred Treasure of the Cairo Geniza. The Geniza was a store-house and treasure trove of the Egyptian Jewish community and the documents found and preserved there shed much light on our people and the times of those living in Egypt. Another global topic we have the privilege to hear and learn about locally. And on three consecutive Tuesdays in February, we are honored once again to have Dr. A.-J. Levine speak at Temple on the topic “Thou Shall Not: The Bible and Sexual Sin”. These lectures and interfaith gatherings are always a highlight of our year. As we seek to engage our members, we continue to work to include new experiences, learning and topics of interest to our congregation. We are in the middle of planning our Women’s Retreat for March 25-27, and creating some travel and learning opportunities like our previous trips to Birmingham and the Jewish distillery in Kentucky. We are developing a three-part series on Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ new and relevant book, Not in God’s Name: Confronting Religious Violence, and creating a hands-on cooking class leading to a Shabbat HaOlam, a global Shabbat celebration set for the spring. The theme of Think Globally, Act Locally will bring us all to celebrate Jewish ExperiencesAcrossTime and Place, and we thank JackWinfield Ross for the graphic hedesigned to incorporate our theme and discussions. We invite and encourage you to attend all of our Adult Education opportunities, to share with us your interests and skills, to promote and invite others to come and join us as well.


On December 1, 2014, Tammye Crump, CPA, assumed the position of Director of Finance and Manager of Operations for The Temple. Tammye has almost twenty years of prior accounting experience primarily for hospitals and other health care providers. Shortly before the High Holy Days, I sat down with Tammye and asked her several questions in an interview for this issue of The View.

Question1: Tammye,youhavebeen“hunkereddown”foralmostninemonthsinthefinancepositionat The Temple. What prompted you to consider taking on this position at The Temple?

Tammye: Iwasinterestedinexpandingmyhorizonsbyventuringoutofthecorporatesector.WiththefinancepositionatThe Temple, I would be able to use my knowledge, skills and technology background to automate and streamline the accounting functions and processes at The Temple. I was intrigued by this opportunity and looked forward to the challenge.

Question 2: When you accepted the position, what challenges did you anticipate you would face?Tammye: I knew I would need to improve my knowledge of funds accounting and that I would need to become familiar with the Member Management system that The Temple uses for information management. From a non-technical standpoint, I needed to learn and understand more about the Jewish religion since I was going to work for a Jewish organization.

Question 3: Since you began in your new position, how have you learned more about the Jewish religion?Tammye: At Rabbi Mackler’s suggestion, I attended this past summer’s Taste of Judaism classes taught by Rabbi Rami Shapiro. Through attending these classes and my independent reading, I have been amazed at the wide variation in beliefs among the Jewish people. In addition, I have been impressed by the family orientation and emphasis on strong family units that are common to members of the Jewish religion regardless of how strictly they adhere to traditional Jewish customs and rituals.

Question 4: It sounds like before you accepted the position at The Temple, you had anticipated some issues in regard to your technicalskillsthatwouldbeneededtoenableyoutoperformthefinancerole.Howaccuratewereyouinthisassessment?Tammye: MytransitiontomynewrolewasmoredifficultthanIhadoriginallyanticipated.GiventhatIamaperfectionistin performing accounting functions, I did not learn all aspects of my new position as quickly as I would have liked.

Question 5: Apart from a slower than anticipated transition, what other surprises have you encountered?Tammye: I have had to prioritize the changes as to accounting processes and functions that I am trying to implement. Despite the slow pace of change at The Temple, by contrast, in the corporate sector, I did not have any opportunity to impact or effectuate change. At The Temple, I know that a lot can be changed to make the accounting functions and processes more efficient.Ijustneedtimetogetthere.

Question 6: What aspects of your new position have you enjoyed the most?Tammye: I have enjoyed participating in the meetings of the Cemetery Committee – that is a “fun committee”. I also enjoyed learning more about Jewish rituals and beliefs from Rabbi Rami Shapiro. Several attendees at the lecture series were surprised that I, a Temple employee, was taking these classes.

Question 7: What would you like to accomplish during the next three months?Tammye: We will be implementing an automated time keeping system. We will also be adopting new corporate credit card and charge processes and changing our routine check signing processes. These three changes are part of continuing efforts to improvetheefficiencyoftheaccountingfunctionsatTheTemple.

Question 8: During the past nine months, what have you learned about yourself and what more would you like to learn?Tammye: I have learned that I need to be more patient both with others and with myself. In the future, I plan on taking continuingeducationclassesontopicsthatrelatetoaccountingfornonprofitorganizations.

We can hardly believe it, but Baby Turtel is coming very soon! As part of my maternity leave, I will be taking 8 weeks of time away as soon as baby arrives, from approximately November 23 through January 19. The music of our Friday night services will be led by Ellie Flier and Andrea Gunn, active Temple members and wonderful musicians who have been working with me over the last several months to learn the beloved melodies of our congregation. Our three rabbis have graciously agreed to work with our B’nai Mitzvah students so they may continue with their studies - more details will be shared with our B’nai Mitzvah families in the coming days. My other responsibilities, including my work with The Temple MazelTones and MazelTeens, my Religious and Hebrew School teaching duties, and my ongoing community involvement will be absorbed by members of our Temple staff until my return. Glenn and I are extremely grateful to the wonderful Rabbis and staff of The Temple for their assistance and flexibility, as well as to all members of our congregation for your enthusiasm and support during this exciting time. We look forward to sharing our simcha with all of you as our family - along with our Temple family - continues to grow.

The Temple Sculpture Garden and The Pomegranate Gate

Often overlooked and perhaps an underutilized area of The Temple is the courtyard sculpture garden. A favorite choice, weather permitting, for receptions, occasional religious services, and even weddings, the garden’s beauty is visible through glass walls to those who are making their way to either the chapel or the sanctuary. One of the welcoming pieces among the sculptures in the courtyard is the Pomegranate Gate cast of nickel and bronze. About six feet in height, the gate consists of an arch crowned by 4 pomegranates angling downwards on either side of a center pomegranate. The gate facades are decorated with lions and Hebrew inscriptions (translation - “Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a spring.” Genesis 49:22). Created in 1984 by renowned sculptor Oded Halahmy, the gate was purchased in 1986 using funds donated by Al Linx, Jr. in memory of his father. Halahmy was born in Iraq in 1938, but his family was part of the large exodus of Iraqi Jewry that immigrated to Israel in 1951. His sculptures often reference his native landscape and he uses these images as universal symbols binding cultures together. For example, the palm is associated with righteousness and growth and the pomegranate represents prosperity, fertility and love. Some believe that the pomegranate was the precursor to the apple in the Garden of Eden and, to many Jews, is a symbol of Rosh Hashanah.

Religious Schoolby Rabbi Michael Shulman

For the month of November we are focused on the value of derech eretz. Literally meaning ‘the way of the land’, derech eretz is difficulttodefinebutitdescribessomethingwecanallrecognize.Ithasoftenbeenunderstoodasdecency,decorum,goodmanners,commoncourtesy,butitalsoimplieshighstandardsofhonorabledignifiedbehaviorandgenuineconcernforothers’feelings.Onewho practices derech eretz may be called a mensch. In the Talmud and Midrash there are approximately 200 teachings concerning derech eretz as decent, polite, respectful, thoughtful, and civilized behavior. One teaching is that “Derech eretz comes before Torah” (Midrash Vayikra Rabbah 9:3) - one cannot personify Torah until s/he demonstrates derech eretz in everything that s/he does. Another way of putting it: Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah said, ‘If there is no Torah there is no derech eretz. And if there is no derech eretz, thereisnoTorah.’(PirkeAvot,3:21)AtfirstglancethisseemslikeaconfusingideabutIthinkperhapsitsuggeststhatweneedbothTorah and derech eretz to lead us to a good heart and a worthy life. Our goal is to have every student understand the importance of derech eretz. It can be code for either “check your behavior” or “nice behavior!”

On September 27, the eve of the first day of Sukkot, the entire school pitched in and decorated the large sukkah at The Temple. Our 8th and 9th graders helped the younger students hang fruit, paper chains and other homemade decorations to create a beautiful sukkah that we used for the entire holiday. What a great example of the value of kehillah kedoshah, a holy community working together to create something we can all be proud of!

Preschool by Jan Huettner

How to Implement Jewish Curriculum in the Reggio Way My assignment for this year, and I gladly chose to accept it, was to learn to create a Jewish curriculum that would enrich the children on a daily basis and allow the lessons to be appropriate to the Reggio-Emilia inspired philosophy already established by the classrooms. Certainly there were challenges that came with the task. How do I teach our preschool children about the Jewish holidays that are typically based on when they fall in the calendar? How could I incorporate what was already going on in the classroomtoreflectthevaluesandlessonsofJewishlife?HowcouldIintroduceJudaismintothelivesofchildren,staff,andfamiliesthat come from different backgrounds, different religions, and blended households? As you can imagine, this has taken several trips to the classrooms to observe what was going on and to establish a connection with the children that were there every day. There were also collaborative conversations with our pedagogista, Ms. Moon and the classroom teachers. When I discovered that our Kavod (almost-two-year-olds) classroom was investigating “sounds” the story, “The Announcing Tool” seemed like the perfect complement. This is a midrash (a story about a story in the bible) that lends itself to oral storytelling included in Rabbi Marc Gellman’s book Does God Have a Big Toe? The story takes place a loonnnggg time ago and focuses on the wayforGodtoannouncetothepeople(alllivinginoneplace)thataNewYearwasapproaching.GodaskedEnochtofindanannouncing tool for this very important holiday. By using different sounds (two rocks struck together, a gong, a drum, a harp, a goldentrumpet,andatlastashofar)Enochfinallyfindstheperfectsound.Bytellingthestoryinsteadofreadingitandaddinghand motions and repeating words even these very young children were able to enjoy the story. This wonderful story lent itself beautifully to the investigation they were already doing in their classroom, and the introduction of the high holidays that would take place the following week. “Hide-and-Seek” was a big hit in our Neshamah (one-and-a-half-year-olds) classroom. This exploration provided many cognitive benefits.Ittaughtthechildrenthattheremightbethingsthatexistedeveniftheywerenotvisible.Searchingforobjectsorpeoplehelped them develop problem-solving skills as they looked for or even hid an object. Learning to take turns and work together encouraged their social development as well as helped their balance and agility skills. There were many ways to incorporate Jewish ideas into this discovery or exploration. The challah bread could be hidden at Shabbat (underneath the challah cover). Jewish symbols such as wine cups, candles, menorahs, could be hidden in the sand so that each child could dig up a Jewish treasure. The pageofabookcouldbehidden.Thefacesofthechildrenreflectedthejoyanddiscoveryofthesurpriseswaitingforthem. One of the easiest ways to introduce the holidays to our school was to start with the celebration of Shabbat which takes place every week. Since all of our children attend our weekly short tot Shabbat service on Friday morning, every child had an experience and knowledge of this special celebration. This year we started a new tradition. Our older children made individual challah covers for our school Shabbats on Fridays. By using different fabrics, paint, Jewish symbols, and glue they designed their own vision of a cover that we could hold up at Shabbat and say that they created. I am still learning to take every opportunity to engage with our children daily and leave them with a deep thirst for Jewish learning and Jewish values. As we play, explore, and investigate, we hope to create a curriculum that addresses the whole child and paves the way for a positive, caring environment.

The Boulevard Bolt Thanksgiving Day 2015

Imagine a world where Baptists, Jews and Episcopalians pause from carving the Thanksgiving turkey and join hands to serve the homeless. No imagination is necessary - that’s actually what happens each Thanksgiving Day in Nashville as three congregations work together to put on the Boulevard Bolt, a 5-mile race on Belle Meade Boulevard.

There is an amazing spirit and sense of cooperation among the volunteers from Immanuel Baptist Church, St. George’s Episcopal Church and The Temple who “make the

Bolt happen each year.”

For more information go to: www.boulevardbolt.org
