Community Festival Appreciation Event
We’re so grateful to all our festival volunteers for all of your hard work! We invite you to
join in the fun as we take a cruise on the Ohio River with Queen City Riverboats, on Friday
June 22. We’ll depart by bus from Temple Israel at 5:30 p.m. and board the yacht “Clipper”
at 7:00 p.m. We’ll enjoy a wonderful buffet dinner that will include salmon, chicken and
vegetable lasagna along with salad, roasted red potatoes, a vegetable medley and carrot cake.
We’ll celebrate Shabbat together with a service after dinner. The expected arrival time back
at Temple Israel is 10:00 p.m. Cost is $20
and space is limited. Call the office to
reserve your spot. All are welcome.
There will not be a Shabbat service
at Temple.
David Ze’ev Jablinowitz landed in Israel in 1981 after completing his degree in writing from
Queens College in New York. After first anchoring newscasts and hosting science and
sports programs, he covered the Demjanjuk war crimes trial in 1987 and ’88. In June 1989,
he became Knesset correspondent, and has covered diplomatic and political beats during the
terms of Prime Ministers Yitzhak Shamir, Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak, Ariel
Sharon and Ehud Olmert, and Binyamin Netanyahu. In addition, he’s
worked as an Israeli consultant for BBC, Reuters, Sky News, and
periodically reports for CBS Radio.
Over the past few years, David has added a new dimension to telling
of the Israeli experience: instead of just the news, David has shared
the slice of life. Instead of politicians, he has told of the real, regular
people on the buses, the markets, the streets of Jerusalem and Tel
Aviv, and wherever stories come his way. If the stories don’t come
his way, he looks for them.
Says David: “Life in Israel can feel like a roller coaster. For me,
covering the hard news and soft stories of this country has been
quite a ride, and I hope I don’t have to get off anytime soon.”
Hear David speak at 3:00 p.m. in the sanctuary at the Jewish Cultural Festival.

Celebrating Israel: A Photo Exhibit
This comprehensive exhibit showcases a selection of historical moments that
embody the great endeavor that was the establishment of the State of Israel,
as seen through the eyes of its people. Highlighted within are the
experiences of Jews from around the world who escaped hatred and fear to
live freely in a Jewish state. The panels and personal stories on display
enable viewers to explore Israel’s major historical events and consider the
lives of its early immigrants — what it took for them to reach the State of
Israel and how they adjusted to life in their new homeland. Organized
sequentially and by theme, Celebrating Israel gives viewers insight into the
country’s formation. The exhibit was curated by The Museum for the Jewish
People in Tel Aviv, from The Bernard H. and Miriam Oster Visual
Documentation Center.

From the Rabbi
Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz Senior Rabbi
“For thousands of years we
safeguarded the Book, and it has kept
us safe.” - David Ben-Gurion.
Today was the last day of Religious
School and, before we began to close
the school wing down for the
summer, we offered
an opportunity to our
students to
meaningfully reflect
on what it means to
be Am HaSefer, a
People of the Book.
We did so by
engaging them in a
burial of our geniza
books. These books
have been well-loved,
damaged, or simply
are no longer in use
and have been stored
in the building. In
generations past, just
as we did today, we
took them to the cemetery to be
buried with honor, alongside our
most wise and gifted scholars. Our
children placed our retired Gates of
Repentance, red Plaut Torah
commentaries, our blue Gates of
Prayer and even early pilot versions of
Mishkan Tefillah into the earth. These
were intermingled with a few Union
Prayer Books and old Hebrew school
prayer worksheets.
At the cemetery today, our students
learned that our holy objects are
treated with respect just as we show
respect to our loved ones. We bury
our books rather than throw them
away, because we recognize that they
are filled with sparks of holiness.
Through our Torah and our sacred
texts, we find meaning in God’s
teachings. And, through our liturgy
in the prayer books, we find the
words to share our innermost
thoughts and prayers with God.
These books are holy tools that help
us experience the Divine.
Love and reverence
for our books has
been taught from
generation to
generation. It was a
privilege for us to
prepare our books
and help put them at
rest after their years
of service to us.
Through our books
we have found
wisdom, strength, joy,
and atonement.
Now, let our
righteous actions
stand as living
testimony to the words in those
pages that now rest in the earth.
Please feel free to bring any books
you need to be buried to the Temple
office, where we will store them until
the next geniza burial two years from
now.
Be one of the People of the Book.
This summer, remind yourselves that
you, too, are a part of Am HaSefer.
When you take in the warmth and
beauty of long summer days, do so
by treating yourself to a book that
helps further your knowledge of
Judaism. If you need any
recommendations, please see me,
Rabbi Sobo, or any of our library
volunteers and we would be happy
to help you.

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, 2018 and
ending June 30, 2019.
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 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.

May;
Rabbi Tina and Matt Sobo, Judy Heller, Phyllis and Mort Levine, Nancy and Rich Cohen, Carol Finley, Sara and

Thanks to their generosity, attendees have the opportunity to enjoy a little nosh before the service and get to know

My journey to discovering a new
house of worship was long and
arduous, but one conversation with
Rabbi David Sofian during his Judaism
101 class helped me find my new
religious home.
After our talk, I begin attending
Torah study and Shabbat services on
Saturdays, and I completed the
Introduction to Judaism program.
After months of study, I officially
became a Jew with a trip to the
Mikveh, and chose to have a bat
mitzvah with others in the Adult
B’nai Mitzvah class. I will never
forget the joy I felt when I was
recognized as a new member at a
Shabbat service following my
conversion.
Like many of you, my husband and I
regularly receive requests for
donations from all kinds of
organizations. We have our favorite
non-profits to which we contribute,
and we are very selective with our
giving. Temple Israel is on the top of
the list. For me, there has never been
a question about this. I know that
Temple Israel positively impacts the
lives of its congregants and the entire
Dayton area. Through the Jewish
Cultural Festival, we reach outward
and inward to celebrate and educate,
and through participation in the
University of Dayton Lifelong Learning
Institute, Reform Ohio, and the
Dayton MLK Walk, we practice our
Jewish value of tikkun olam. The next
generation is nurtured and taught in
our religious school, and adult learning
opportunities challenge us to explore
our culture, faith, and history.
I wish I had been raised Jewish. If I
had, I might have attended the URJ
Goldman Union Camp Institute
(GUCI) and gone to Washington D.C.
to meet with members of Congress
through the L’taken program of the
Religious Action Center.
The list could go on forever, but
these are some of the treasures I
want to see continued. I also
recognize that Temple Israel's
physical structure must be
maintained. This is why I have signed
my Letter of Intent for the Life and
Legacy program - I want to help
ensure Temple Israel will be around
for future generations.
When we sign a Letter of Intent, we
are making a promise that future
generations will have a thriving
Jewish community to enrich and
embrace their lives. Our
commitment ensures that Temple
Israel will continue to be a “house of
prayer for all people.”
After all is said and done, what will
be your legacy?
