New Service Times Begin in September
To enhance our sense of Kabbalat Shabbat—welcoming the Sabbath—Rabbi Bodney-Halasz and
the Music and Worship Committee have decided on some changes to our Friday night services.
Except for the first Friday of the month, beginning on September 16 all services will begin at
6:30 p.m. Starting at about 6:15 p.m., for those who would like to gather for a pre-neg there will
be light food, occasional music, and time to sit and talk with friends as we transition from the
weekday to Shabbat. After services, the oneg will offer worshipers another chance to talk with
friends or meet new people.
Services on the first Friday of the month will continue to start at 6:00 p.m., generally followed by
our traditional Share Shabbat meal. However, since the first Friday of September falls on Labor
Day weekend this year, Share Shabbat services will be held on the second Friday, September 9, at
6:00 p.m. The new service schedule, including a pre-neg and oneg, will begin on September 16.
The Music and Worship Committee members are excited by these new programs and look
forward to welcoming Shabbat with all of you.
Upcoming Kiddush Lunches
Extend your Shabbat joy with food and fellowship! Five times this year we will be gathering
after Saturday morning services for lunch and social time. Our first Kiddush lunch will be
September 17. Additional Kiddush dates are December 17, January 21, March 18 and May 20.
For more information or to lend a hand, contact Judy Heller at 294-6224.

From the Rabbi
Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz Senior Rabbi
An excerpt from Rabbi Bodney-
Halasz’s first sermon as Senior Rabbi
Tonight the three of us (Rabbi Sobo,
Courtney and I) unpack our bags and
make ourselves comfortable in this
space. Metaphorically, we are taking
our shoes off, sitting down, and
breaking in the couch. It may sound
weird to unpack now, as some of us
have occupied this space for more
than a decade, but it isn’t. Because
tonight everything feels different.
Tonight, our house becomes a home
for all of us.
So how does this happen? What makes
a house a home? A house may
provide shelter, but a home is where
you weather all of life’s storms.
Creating a home is about the
connections made within it and the
safety experienced in those
connections. I’d like to tell you about
the home we are building here. Our
home is open to conversations, both
difficult and easy, in which we
encourage and challenge one another.
In our home we give honor to our
history and to those in our community
who built that history. There are
moments when it is noisy and others
when it is silent, but our doors are
always open for friends and family.
Our rooms are filled with rituals that
are uniquely ours and the walls are
colored by dings, scratches, and flaws.
And there is an endless to-do list. But
our home also smells of great food and
is filled with comfy corners, family
heirlooms, and meaningful collections.
Most importantly, it is filled with more
than 150 years of memories and is
waiting for us to continue making even
more life-sustaining memories.
To me, creating a home is about
building a relational culture within a
structure that already exists. Many of
you know that creating a relational
culture is at the heart of my Judaism
and my rabbinate. Our tradition has
always been about community. We
learn from our liturgy that we must
have community to pray, to mourn,
and even to appreciate good food. It
teaches of the need to understand one
another and value one another. This
is how we create memories and
transform our space to one of
comfort, stability, and safety.
I want to thank you all for being a part
of this community and for this warm
and welcoming homecoming tonight.
I feel as if tonight’s service is the
mezuzah-hanging following the
unpacking of my bags. It is the night in
which we remind each other of the
values we promise to uphold when we
live in this space together.
Let me tell you what this means to me
personally. I am honored to guide
each of you through your Jewish
journeys, whether you are discovering
Judaism, returning to Judaism,
questioning Judaism, or reaffirming
Judaism. I find deep meaning and
purpose helping others to experience
the richness of Jewish tradition. I am
excited to be there with you during
the most celebratory moments of
your lives… birth, adoption, being
called to the Torah, weddings, and
milestone anniversaries. But, I am also
prepared to stand with you and walk
the path with you in difficult times as
well--at times of sickness, death, and
lost relationships. You see, to be a
part of a community does not mean
only being present for joy and
celebration. Rather, it means being
with you when you get the difficult
phone calls from your children, your
parents, and your doctors, or even
waiting for the call that never comes.
Even at these moments-- no,
especially at these moments, we
need to be there for each other.
And I will be there for you, as will
Rabbi Sobo, to make sure that your
rabbinical needs are being met. But
we may also initiate those difficult
moments as well, by bringing
conversations to the surface that
need to be addressed, as this is also
part of human and spiritual growth.
But our home is not on an island.
We live in a neighborhood. And we
have responsibilities to the
community in which we live as well
as to our own family. Just as I am
prepared to step forward in the
difficult moments of your lives in our
synagogue, I am prepared to stand up
during the good and trying times in
our Dayton community, Jewish and
non-Jewish. All of us on the bima
tonight are committed to this
community. It is our city. Some of
you may not be aware but by the end
of the month all three of us will have
Dayton area zip codes. Just like you,
this is our home. What happens on
the streets and in our neighborhoods
matters to us. Hunger, poverty,
untreated mental illness, children
without access to quality education…
your problems are also our
problems. We are all invested.
I have to tell you… I wanted to make
tonight about happiness and joy,
optimism and progress. But the
world I live in is bigger than this
sanctuary. And it is hurting so badly
right now. We turn on the news or
get on social media and all we see is
blood being spilt. It would be wrong
for me to share only in the levity of
this day and not to bear witness to
the world in which we all live. Who
would ever have imagined that our
world could be so darkened? That
70 years after the Holocaust still we
must watch as people are killed for
who they love, what they look like,

News and Events
Thanks Summer Lay Leaders!
Thank you to all our lay summer service leaders, who led us so beautifully in
services this summer. The range of perspectives on the Torah portion and
even on the service itself is always enlightening. Thanks to: Lonnie
Carpenter, Nancy Cohen, Katherine Cooper, Sara Faust, Carol Graff, Judi
Guggenheimer, Judy Heller, Karin Hirschkatz, Amy Margolin, Lake Miller, Rita
Rich, Fran Rickenbach, Lee Schatzly, Richard Saphire, and Teresa Wyman.
Dayton’s GUCI Campers Have Fun In The Sun
Campers from Temple Israel and Beth Or enjoyed their time at GUCI in Indiana during camp’s second session.
Pictured above (left to right) Julian Doninger, Talia Doninger, Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz, Grant Halasz, Benny Caruso, Julia
Caruso, Sam Caruso, Rabbi Judy Chessin, Claire Sabin, Maddie Gruenberg, Gavi Ballaban. Not pictured: Kahlil Knick
and what they believe. And our light
-bearers are now fewer than ever.
It was just this past Shabbat that Elie
Wiesel, renowned Holocaust
survivor, died at age 87. Wiesel
taught us that “the opposite of love is
not hate, it's indifference,” and that
“there may be times when we are
powerless to prevent injustice, but there
must never be a time when we fail to
protest.” We, like Wiesel and others
who came before us, must learn to
bear light even in darkness, to find
courage when we feel fear, to find
faith when we experience doubt.
Tonight, a darkness falls upon our
house, but our home must radiate
light. We must believe in our world
and in one another, so that we, as a
community, can work to make the
world what we pray it will someday
become. That is what it means to
have a Jewish home.

Food Drive
Last year at Rosh Hashanah Rabbi
Bodney-Halasz spoke about hunger in
the Ohio Valley. Though we do not
often see it or recognize it when we
do, hunger is a serious problem in
our area. One in six households in
Ohio face food insecurity and here, in
our own backyard. Dayton has
become one of the ten worst cities in
the country in terms of food
hardship. Thousands of people reside
in "food deserts," with limited access
to full-service grocery stores and
affordable and nutritious food. Last
year Temple Israel’s response to the
Yom Kippur Food Drive was
exceptional. We collected and
donated more than 1000 pounds of
nutritious food to The Foodbank,
providing 850 meals. As we begin to
think of the New Year and the role
each of us plays in this world, let us
open our eyes to recognize that the
problem of hunger has not
disappeared over the last year and
our efforts are still greatly needed.
May the food we would normally
consume on Yom Kippur once again
be used to feed hungry families in our
hometown.

From the Rabbi Educator
Rabbi Tina Sobo Jerome Epstein Family Director
of Education
A rabbinic maxim states: “All
beginnings are hard.” (Rashi on
Shemot 19:5, Tosafot Taanit 10b, and
other locations). As I begin my
tenure here at Temple Israel, in
some ways, this maxim has held true.
I am learning about Dayton, the I-75
construction, and am getting settled
in a new area and a new
congregation. At the same time,
with much gratitude to the
generosity and welcoming nature of
the Temple Israel family, this
beginning has not been so hard. My
family and I have met many
congregants, gotten to explore the
area, have had some great restaurant
and area-attraction
recommendations. Dayton is already
feeling very much like home. I want
to take this opportunity to invite
anyone who I have not yet had the
chance to meet, to introduce
themselves. I am eager to meet
everyone in the community.
The summer months here at Temple
are full of planning for the upcoming
year. In addition to building
relationships with Temple families, I
am excitedly planning for the
beginning of the religious school year,
which is fast approaching. One of my
passions in Judaism is the process of
bettering oneself through the study
and practice of middot, Jewish values.
I plan to bring this passion into our
religious school throughout the year,
spending time learning about
different values together. I also plan
to continue working with the
Mitkadem Hebrew curriculum, while
introducing and experimenting with
different modalities of Hebrew
language acquisition that ought to
enhance learning with a sense of
playfulness. I look forward to
sharing many updates as to our
learning throughout the year.
I am excited to celebrate the
opening of school with an Open
House on Wednesday,
September 7 at 6:00 p.m. Parents
and students are invited to meet me
and their teachers. Come with
energy and any questions you may
have. I’ll be around beforehand to
chat over a brown bag dinner before
the official programming of the
evening begins. Please make sure to
submit all registrations and
madrichim applications as soon as
possible.
Please save the date for our
Religious School’s Day of Learning
that is currently planned for Sunday,
December 4. Our Day of Learning
will engage students of all ages
through study, interactive activities
and more as we take a deeper look
into some of Judaism’s most central
values. More information to come!
