THREE DIVISIONS OF SACRED SCRIPTURE--THREE DIVISIONS OF LIFE
Students of Sacred Scripture know that there are three main divisions of the text, Torah, Neviim, and K'tuvim: The Torah (The Law), the section known as The Prophets, and The Writings. We call our scripture TaNaCh, an acronym made of the first letter of each of these sections. Convenient as these holy elements are to distinguish between different authors , time periods and thoughts, taken separately as well as combined, their structure alone can tdch us about life.
- Torah is the first main section containing the Five Books of M9ses. We aU know them as Genesis, Exodus , Leviticus , Numbers , and Deuteronomy. Their combined wisdom transcends the ages and, as I view it, reflects the first stage of our lives.
"In the Beginning" from birth to youth as we grow and develop, it is the laws and commandments , the rules, that form our behavior patterns. We learn right from wrong, how to make choices , and what paths to follow in living quality lives. The Torah, at the onset , positions us for well-being as we develop our faith in God and in ourselves. ..
The second division of holy writ is the Prophets, from Joshua and Judges to Zechariah and Malachi. Here we find not only their teachings but also the hopes and dreams, the triumphs and failures , the satisfactions and frus tr. of real men and women. The struggles and realities of the prophets reflect our own midlife. How s· 'eet :::; life and yet so sad. As we make our way in the world , we are fulfilled and found wanting both at the same time. Relationships with parents, children, spouses, friends, God and our own inner selves often seem in conflict and challenge us each day. How wonderful is this business of living, how wonderful and yet at times so maddening and, after all , so exciting. The word of the Prophets is the stuff of life.
The third division of sacred text is The Writings , from Psalms and Proverbs to Chronicles. This part of Tanach is reflective as much as it is instructive. Here in this section the divinely inspired authors pause from life's warp and woof and share with us their deepest thoughts, what they have learned, and what they feel they must grasp in the years remaining. Here in The Writings, we are welcomed into the inner court of humanly discerned wisdom: what health and illness, welcome and loneliness, and love all mean and so much more. After living some, and yet with so much more to do, the Wisdom literature of our people helps us to see the truths we may have overlooked before it is too late.
Each of the three main divisions of the Tanach has its own message, but combined there is a lesson too. Taken separately, the sections reflect the stages of our lives, but jointly they teach us about faith.
And, thus, their unified greatness is revealed when we can understand more clearly the faith we need in God and in ourselves. God gives us the means, but we must realize we can and must use our gifts , the sacred gifts we each receive.
Tanach teaches us of life. May we each live it with faith, love, and joy.
Rabbi Bradley N Bleefeld

NOTEWORTHY
Serve the Lord with gladness . ..
There are many ways that one serves -- as congregant, as leader, as Jewish professional. It is the role of the cantor to serve Jewish music, to serve the Jewish people, and to serve Judaism. God gives the cantor the gift of voice and then we raise our voices in service ultimately to God.
Over the past four years I have had the added privilege of serving my cantorial colleagues as the first woman president of the American Conference of Cantors. I am grateful to you, my congregational family, for allowing me to serve in this manner, and I would like to share with you some of the recent activities of the American Reform Cantorate which have had an impact on synagogue life and, therefore, on Temple Israel.
As the voice of the American Reform Cantorate, the ACC serves first and foremost to preserve and perpetuate synagogue life through music. The ACC has been a partner with the UAHC, HUC-JIR, and the CCAR on the Commission on Synagogue Music since it was called into being by Rabbi Alexander Schindler at the UAHC Biennial in 1985. I have had the personal honor of serving continuously on the Commission, first as an ACC delegate, then as the ACC chair, and now ex-officio.
Additionally, in the last four years we have increased ACC representation on virtually all committees and commissions of the UAHe. We have cantors serving actively on committees and commissions dealing with Education, Outreach, ReligiOUS living, Synagogue Management, Youth, Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Youth Suicide, Ethics, Small Congregations, and Older Adults. We have an ever-increasing number of cantors serving on planning committees and as faculty at UAHC Camp-Institutes such as GUCr.
The leadership of the ACC has been meeting and dialoguing regularly with the leadership from the UAHC, HUC-JIR, our rabbinic and administrative colleagues in their professional organizations of the Reform movement, the Cantors' Assembly, (our counterpart in the Conservative movement), and the Guild of Temple Musicians, our affiliate organization made up of composers, organists, music directors, music teachers, and temple soloists.
Last year our annual convention took place in Baltimore, Maryland. Because of the proximity to Washington, D.C. , we were able to spend a day at the US Holocaust Museum. We were well over 100 cantors, temple musicians and families touring together as a very unique community. The day ended with a cantorial memorial concert. Almost all of those who participated were either survivors or family of survivors. I was given the honor of closing the concert by leading all of the cantors in singing "Ani Maamin."
This year our annual concert will take place in Houston, Texas, with the theme, "Reclaiming the Spiritual." Each day will begin with a keynote address dealing with issues of integrating spirituality into our lives, our communities, our music.
The concerts will consist of six segments presented in two evenings. The segments are: The Woman's Voice in Jewish Music, The Music of St. Petersburg, Yiddish Choral Music, Organ Masterpieces, The Houston Children's Choir, and Music of the Jewish South: A Multimedia Presentation.
During our convention we will honor the 25- , 36-, and 40-year graduates of the HUC-JIR School of Sacred Music. We will induct new members into the ACC, including the 1995 graduates of HUC, and install a new president. The ACC will honor Cantor Barbara Horowitz, the 1st woman graduate of HUC-JIR SSM, and I will be honored as I complete my term as the first woman president of the ACe.
Stepping down as president of the ACC represents for me, not an end, but a new beginning, just as our Temple is preparing for new beginnings. This has been an exciting time to serve my cantorial colleagues ; this promises to be a very exciting time to serve Temple Israel.
I wish all of you a restful, peaceful summer of blessings and renewal.
Cantor Vicki L. Axe

Rabbi Steven A. Arnold

Dear Brad,
Thought folks in the congregation would want to know of this honor to Judah Folkman, who grew up in Columbus.
All the best, Steve
PS I was assistant at Temple Israel 1961-1965 -- regards to anyone who remembers !
From the New York Times,
April 19, 1995
This evening, at the Pierre Hotel in New York City, Dr. Judah Folkman, of Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital, will receive a medal, the 18th annual Bristol-Myers Squibb Distinguished Achievement Award in Cancer Research.
Selected for the award by his peers, Judah Folkman's cancer research has forever altered our understanding of the human cell.
His elucidation of the process by which a person's blood supply enables a tumor to grow -- known as angiogenesis, a field he has pioneered - has become the conceptual basis for newthinking in the fight against cancer.

Dear Karen,
STATE OF OKLAHOMA OFFICE OF THE COVERNOR
On behalf of the people of Oklahoma. thank you for your kind words of sympathy in the wake of the Murrah Federal Building tragedy. Although we have much yet to do, the help and suppon of thousands of Americans and people around the world have already made our path to healing smoother.
This awful event has once again reminded us that we are no! JUS! Oklahomans or Californians or Virginians or Texans, but Americans and members of the world community. When our own are hun or threatened. we respond. irrespective of state line or region. The outpouring of caring and concern from our fellow citizens bas simply overwhelmed us.
The world has touched our hean. As we grieve our losses and repair the damage, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers, as we know wc are in yours.

It's Child's Play My earliest remembered toys were my paper dolls and my swing set. I remember the best part about getting the common
childhood illnesses and staying home from school was that I would get a new book of paper dolls. Once I would cut the dolls and their wardrobes from the book, I would spend hours changing the dolls fashions and their dialogues.
When I was 4 or 5 years old, my swing set, which had 2 swings and a glider, was where I would spend hours in my cowgirl outfit riding my swings or saddling my glider with my cowboy husband, Randy, who lived 3 doors away. I really wanted to be a cowgirl when I grew up, but only too soon realized that "a nice Jewish girl who has allergies" doesn't end up around horses
on the range! I can think of no other experience in a child's life that provides the same opportunity to grow and interact as does the time
for play where ideas and passions can develop to their fullest. Selma Wasserman (1990) wrote how she saw children and play:
We see young children learning much and we say, "Yes, this is good. They are learning what is important." We see them designing experiments, exploring, investigating, making decisions, and problem solving. We see them generate, create, invent. We see them use language more skillfully and relate to each other more sucessfully. As we observe young children playing, the boundaries of what is work and what is play evaporate. We know, in fact, that children are working and in these work-play settings we see what they are learning. We see how play empowers them.

(. .. The peeker . . .)
Inspired by David Letterman's Nightly Top Ten Lists, the Preschool Staff has observed, and verified, the Top Six Styles in which our students eat their challah:
1. The Dipper - dips challah into apple juice 2. The Peeker - tears out middle of challah and peeks through hole 3. The Ripper - rips the crust off 4 . The Roller - rolls challah into bread balls 5 . The Bird Picker - piCks the middle of the challah like a little bird 6 . The Waiter - doesn't wait on tables, rather s/he waits for butter'
(Here are at least four of the ways to eat challah on Shahhat: The ripper (Ie/i) and The Bird Picker (right).)

NEW LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE
Young Folks Temple League (YFTL)
Elects New Leaders
On May 21. Temple Israel's YFTL held elections for the 1995-19% year. Those elected are:
Jenny Knight. President
Stephanie Solomon. Vice-President Social Action
Lea Snyder. Vice-President Programming
Lara Gantner, Secretary
Amy Dicker. Treasurer
Jennifer Henkin. Journalist
The congregation and staff of Temple Israel are pleased to announce the introduction of the New Leadership Program. According to Tod Friedman, Chairman of the New Leadership Committee, this program is designed to identify and train temple leaders prior to their assuming leadership roles . A series of seven seminars on Jewish History and Identity, Congregation and Community Involvement, and Effective Leadership will be lead by top nationally recognized speakers .
The Columbus Jewish Federation has taken an active role in the development of this program. According to Mitch Orlich of the CJF, "I view one of the Federation's primary responsibilities as leadership development for our community. Federation is pleased to partner with Temple Israel. I strongly believe in working with our congregations because they are an essential gateway institution for insuring the vibrancy and Jewish character for our community."
There is no program of this nature in effect anywhere in the nation. According to David Dosamantes , Associate Director of the Department of Synagogue Management, Union of American Hebrew Congregations , "This type of project will not only fill a critically important need, but also have the potential of producing valuable written publications so that other synagogues could establish similar efforts ."
Candidates will be contacted shortly, inviting them to participate in the Temple Israel New Leadership Program. The program is scheduled to kick off in August and run through the Spring of 1996. Upon completion, participants will be encouraged to become active leaders in the Temple and the community.
