Dear Friends, It is summer, that quiet time of year. School is closed, many children are at camp, and life slows down temporarily. It is a time to travel. By the time this is published, I will have flown to Maryland to spend time with my oldest son, my daughter and her husband, and my won-derful grandson. Then I will fly out to Los Angeles to spend time with my youngest son, my brother and his family, and my extended family of cousins. My travel, besides an occasional

conference, is mostly to see family. When I do travel, I always try to visit a local synagogue. I like to see what other synagogues do, and often bring back ideas for our own synagogue. For example, the way we handle the prayer for the sick each Shabbat morning, using Debbie Friedman z’l’s haunting rendition of her misheberach, was an idea I brought from another synagogue. Because I am on the road does not mean that I stop being Jewish. Many of you go on far more ambitious trips than me. You sail down a river in Europe, join an African safari, or walk on the Great Wall of China. All of these are on my bucket list. Perhaps most important as Jews, many of you choose to visit Israel. For some of you it is a first trip and for others it is a trip you have done many times. As I have written in the past, I see a trip to Israel not unlike our Muslim brothers and sisters see the Hajj to Mecca, a holy pilgrimage. I remember my mother, not a particularly religious woman, break out into tears when visiting the Western Wall for the first time. Whether a visit to Israel, a castle in Ireland, or just driving your kids to camp in Georgia or North Carolina, use the summer vacation as a Jewish experience. Try to visit a local synagogue. Particularly if you are overseas, such visits help strengthen the local community. I have not visited many of the islands in the Caribbean. But I feel privileged to have connected to the local Jewish community in the Bahamas, Barbados, and recently in Havana. (Unfortunately, the trip I took last winter is now outlawed.) I have spoken in synagogues in Helsinki, Finland and conducted both a bat mitzvah and a wedding in Cali, Colombia. In one of my High Holiday sermons this year, I will share memories of visiting the Jewish community in the former Soviet Union and having a Shabbat dinner at a private home in Riga, Latvia. Of course, if you are staying home, we could use your attendance. We conduct services each morning and each evening, every day of the year, including the rainy Florida summer months. Often our regulars are away, so come help make a minyan. You will be doing a mitzvah. If you visited a synagogue during your travels, bring back a report. Being Jewish is a year round activity. And remember as you enjoy your summer, the High Holidays are coming fast. That is the time when I look forward to greeting all of you.Shalom, Rabbi Michael Gold

TISHA B’AV SCHEDULETisha B’Av is the saddest day of the Jewish year. We remember the destruction of the two Temples in Jerusalem and the many other tragedies in our history. It is a full day fast like Yom Kippur. (Some Conservative Jews only fast until Mincha in the afternoon.

Once again, in the evening of Tisha B’Av we will join with two other Conservative synagogues for services and the reading of the book of Lamentations. Temple Beth Am and Temple Beth Israel will join us in our building.Saturday August 10, 7:30 pm - Shabbat Mincha, a light pre-fast meal, learning with me, and 8:30 pm Maariv and the book of Lamentations. (Aicha)

Sunday August 11 8:30 am – Shahrit (no tallit or tefillin)1 pm – Mincha with tallit and tefillin • 5 pm – Regular Minyan

In case you missed or don’t observe the secular Valentine’s Day, do not fear because we also have a day of love. This coming August we will be celebrating Tu B’Av , the 15th Day of Av, which is both an ancient and modern holiday. Originally a post-biblical day of joy, it served as a matchmaking day for unmarried women in the Second Temple period (before the fall of Jerusalem in 70 C.E.). This romantic holiday used to be the Second Temple period version of a singles’ mixer. Jewish women would go dancing in the vineyards, according to the Talmud, and unmarried men would go to the fields to pick out a wife. The women would wear borrowed white dresses, so that no woman would be embarrassed if she didn’t own the proper garments.

Tu B’Av was almost unnoticed in the Jewish calendar for many centuries but it has been rejuvenated in recent decades, especially in the modern state of Israel. In its modern incarnation, it is gradually becoming a Hebrew-Jewish Day of Love, slightly resembling Valentine’s Day in English-speaking countries. For almost nineteen cen-turies — between the destruction of Jerusalem and the re-establishment of Jewish independence in the State of Israel in 1948 — the only commemoration of Tu B’Av was that the morning prayer service did not include the penitence prayer (Tahanun).

The entertainment and beauty industries now work overtime on this date. It has no formal legal status as a holiday — it is a regular workday — nor has the Israeli rabbinate initiated any addition to the liturgy or called for the introduction of any ancient religious practices. However, in recent decades Israeli civil culture promotes festivals of singing and dancing on the night of Tu B’Av. It is also considered to be the perfect date for a wedding. I wish everyone a joyous Tu B’Av with love. May everyone enjoy a romantic dinner, flowers, or an evening stroll in the spirit of this special day!

President's MessageValerie Preston [email protected]

I hope you had a wonderful summer! Kids will be starting school in the next couple of weeks. (Woohoo!) The synagogue staff have been busy preparing the building for the high holidays. If you haven’t sent in your high holiday tickets yet… Hurry. Hurry. Hurry. As the high holy days approach I believe it is important to remember who we are as a synagogue. As a com-munity. I read the synagogue mission statement the other day. I truly believe it is important to review our mission statement at least once a year. For those of you who have not read it lately; “Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek is a circle of friends anchored in the values of egalitarian, Conservative Judaism. We want to expand our circle by attracting all Jews, young and old, families and singles, to a warm and welcoming congregation of friends. We are

here to pray together, to play together, to learn together, and to be there for each other as we face the joys and difficulties of our lives.” What does this mission statement mean? My simple thoughts…. In Pursuit of its mis-sion, the congregation shall: a) Create a living, welcoming, traditional, Conservative & egalitarian community; b) Further the observance of Shabbat, holidays, and Kashrut; c) Preserve in the worship service, and in its education programs, reference to the past of the Jewish people, and the hopes for its continual renewal; d) Foster Jewish religious life in the home and the synagogue; f) Provide for its congregants’ Jewish education, culture, pastoral, and life cycle needs; and g) Foster the prophetic vision of creating a more perfect society.

How often do we think about these fairly lofty practices as part of our mission? Well, we live them each time we come to shul, practice at home, and invite our friends for Shabbat dinner. We practice these words every time we welcome a new visitor into the shul. We practice them each time we are kind to one another. We do not limit these values only for the people who may join us as prospective members, but we also practice these values when we welcome each other each week. When we help each other, when we teach, ask questions, cook, wash dishes, prepare a Torah segment to teach, when we lead prayer, when we watch after each other’s children. When we go to a Shiva minyan at a family’s home. We have been living these principles for years, maybe without thinking of it, probably without remembering that these are the tenets of our congregation. And yet, it is what we do because that is what we are! It is the Jewish thing to do to host, to welcome, to help each other; for 2000 years we survived in the diaspora using this approach. And our small congregation is part of the larger community of the Jewish people. Since our inception we have celebrated, helped each other, mourned, and marked multiple life cycle events. The tapestry of our community experiences has many hues. How can we enrich the colors of this tapestry? We can continue to follow our mission and vision, make sure that each member is engaged in our community in a way that is meaningful for them, that we are even kinder to one another, that we help each other even more, that we celebrate more, invite people to our homes, invite people we have not invited before and get to know them better, or take up a new role in a committee. Maybe it also means being more socially active in our neighborhood, city, and region? Continue to find ways to carry the momentum behind the financial aspect of the synagogue and continue the preparation for financial stability. Continue to enrich this community of generous, warm, engaged individuals. Please feel welcome to contact me with ideas, suggestions, or questions about what interests you and how you would want to be involved. Thank you for the opportunity to serve this synagogue.

B’Shalom, Valerie

Business ManagerSandra [email protected]

Many of us think of the summer as a time for vacations and relaxing, trips to Disney World, the Caribbean, Europe or just the beach. A time we slow down, reflect on the past year, and regroup for the fall. Here at the Temple, however, we are thinking of the High Holidays. Summer is not for relaxing.

High Holiday seating and sales are of the utmost importance at this time, making sure that everyone who wishes to attend has a High Holiday seat and has addressed their membership commitment for the year.

The Book of Remembrance is another High Holiday task that requires hours of preparation and must be completed in time for Yom Kippur, along with the Fountain of Youth brochure. Then there is the preparation of the building and grounds; repairing, painting, cleaning, waxing, lighting, air conditioning, cutting and trimming. Finally there is the setting up of the social hall and moving the chairs, and getting the prayer books out of storage.

As the Holidays approach, it is also important that you make your preparations as well – remembering the meaning of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and the obligations that come with it. It is a time for all of us to take stock of our actions in the past year and make amends, a chance to correct the mistakes of the past and commit to a better future.

In making that commitment, there are three traditional components to observing Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur: prayer, repentance, and charity. Through prayer and repentance, we show God that we remember our obligations to Him and that we regret the mistakes of the past. Through charity, we show God that we remember our obligations to each other.

We begin our Holiday observance with our Selichot service on Saturday night September 21st at 11:00 pm for services. Please join us prior to services for a movie and discussion starting at 9:00 pm, refreshments will be served.

I wish you all the very best Rosh Hashanah. A Happy and Healthy New Year and may you be inscribed in the Book of Life.

Shanah Tovah, Sandra

Important Dates:August Important dates: Friday, Aug. 2nd – Last day of camp. Saturday, Aug. 3rd – Splash Shabbat @ 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 7th – Teachers return to school for planning week. Tuesday, Aug. 13th – 6:00 p.m. Parents Meet and GreetWednesday, Aug. 15th – First day of school (ECC)Friday, Aug. 16th – 5:00 p.m. – Family Shabbat (All ages) Sunday Aug. 18th – 10:00 a.m. Mitzvah Day.

It was a very busy summer for our campers. Shows, water play, sports activities, music, cooking and art projects were part of our campers’ weekly activities. Our older campers traveled to different destinations three times a week. We all enjoyed Shabbat celebrations with Morah Laura. Over the summer we teamed with PJ Library to provide a new Saturday morning program. Splash Shabbat includes PJ Library story time, music with Miss Tracy, art project and water play. Our last program for the summer is on Saturday, August 3rd @ 10:30 a.m. The program is for young families with infants through second grade. The program was sponsored by the Lenoff family.

Our Friday Musical Tot Shabbat program continued throughout the summer. The program includes age appropriate Shabbat service, songs, music and movement. The program is on the third Friday of the month @ 5:00 p.m. and is led by Ms. Laura Lenes, our music teacher. Our next program is scheduled on Friday August 16th. The concept behind both programs is to provide families with enrichment programs that engage them in more laid-back activities and gets them to be part of Jewish life, in an enjoyable way, gets them to connect with other Jewish families and to create a community. Both programs are at no cost and are open to the wide community. Sponsorship opportunities are available and would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to support our school and our program, please contact me @ 954-722-9537.

As the summer comes to an end, we are in the midst of preparations for the new school year. Our 2019-2020 school year registration continues, and our teachers are busy preparing for the new school year. We are fortunate to open a second Pre-K class this year and welcome new teachers to our growing staff family.

I would like to welcome back our returning students and their families as well as greet our new students and their families.

The first day of school is Wednesday, August. 14th.

I am looking forward to a fun, engaging and productive year.

Religious School NewsAlysha Goldstein Erez, Religious School [email protected]

The TBTST Religious School has a diverse curriculum which includes such topics as Jewish values and ethics, history, Jewish and Israeli holidays, Israel, and t’filot. Hebrew, the modern spoken language of Israel, along with the knowledge and skills necessary to read prayers and Torah are key components to the curriculum.

At the helm is Alysha Goldstein Erez, a native of the South Florida Jewish community, who has worked in formal and informal Jewish education for over 20 years. Alysha’s passion and commitment to the future of the Jewish community will allow the students at the TBTST Religious School to explore their personal connections to Judaism, Israel, and the overall

Jewish community. By utilizing online educational programs, engaging activities, interactive programming, and community resources; the students will have a well-rounded experience during their time in the school. Jr. Congregation, Friday night class Shabbat services, minyan with the Rabbi, and the Holocaust Awareness program are just a few of the extraordinary aspects of the TBTST Religious School program that integrates the students into the TBTST community.

Parental involvement is encouraged and essential to the success of every student involved, along with the TBTST Religious School as a whole. TBTST offers a wide range of educational activities beginning with kindergarten and continuing throughout the high school years. New and exciting events are being added to the calendar this year, so keep an eye out for them in the near future.

Parking Lot Safety

To help keep all of our children safe we request that all parents and grandparents observe the following safety procedures:

• When in the parking lot please do not drive more than 15 MPH, observe the same rules as in a school zone - such as not using your cell phone.• Please hold your child/children by the hand when in the parking lot.• Do not park your car in front of the school entrance, please park only in the parking lot. This is for the safety of our children as they exit the building.• Please do not park in reserved spaces.• Do not leave your car running when dropping off or picking up your child. Again this is a safety hazard. We cannot be responsible for your car or your property.

Youth GroupDiana Silver, Youth [email protected]

It’s crazy to think that the summer has already come and gone. Starting off the summer, we held our first summer program at Dave and Buster’s with the BAUSY Bees. Kadima and USY had a blast reconnecting with old friends and meeting new friends from both chapters.

This year we changed up our annual program with the teens from Nesher, Israel. We were invited by the JCC to attend a pool party and dinner with them and the teens from Nesher. We had such a great time getting to know other teens our age from South Florida as well as connecting with the group from Nesher. Although our USYers live thousands of miles apart, they share many of the same likes, dislikes, morals and values. Bringing them together with the

common bond of religion helps them to see that they are not so different after all. I believe that having programs such as these, with the opportunity to engage with our twinning city, allows our youth group members to learn more about our culture in a way that makes sense to them. Laughter is a universal language, and despite the language barriers, they were able to communicate with each other without any problems while having a great time with our new friends. This program was an amazing learning opportunity.

I hope everyone is having a great summer and wish to see more of you at our next summer program! Be prepared for a fun school year, it’s right around the corner!

Youth Department High Holidays Schedule:

Welcome back! I know you had a fun and restful summer vacation. Come join us on Sunday, August 18 for Mitzvah Day and Temple Open House. Mingle, schmooze and greet your existing friends, and more importantly, come make new friends at our Sisterhood New Member program at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 28.

Part of the priestly blessing we recite at services (Numbers 6:25) says “ The Lord shall make her face shine upon you.” We should also make our face shine on others. The sage, Shamai, suggests we can do this by greeting every person we meet with a smile, showing interest in that person and what she/he has to say, and being happy to see that person. Admittedly,

it can be a challenge to put a smile on our face for each person we meet during the day, especially if we have worries, stress and problems of our own. But remember, the person we meet undoubtedly has her own slew of worries and concerns. Sharing a smile and a few kind words will help ease the load a little, maybe only for a short time, and that may be enough to raise the spirits of yourself and the other person. As they say, every little bit helps! And isn’t that a good reason to “shine” ?!

Sisterhood depends on its marvelous volunteers who plan and organize each of our activities, including Sisterhood Shabbat and Fashion Show. As we start another year, I am asking for your help. If you have “held back” from joining a committee, make this the year when you step forward and become involved. We welcome you, and the time, ideas, and other “back room” support you will bring to a committee. Sisterhood needs you!

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of another. Charles Dickens

Greetings TBTST Members & Scroll Readers, On behalf of the Men’s Club, I wish to extend an appreciative THANK YOU for your giving spirit.

Your generous donations made our 2019 Yom HaShoah Yellow Candle Drive a huge success. Toda Rabah!In our culture, as in life itself, countdowns are everywhere. There is the countdown that marks the end of human gestation. Also, there is the famous 10-second countdown before the ball(s), or other oddities, are dropped to usher in the New Year. We have countdowns for rocket launches. Additionally, there is the near-universal countdown of one (ready!) two (get set!) three (go!), to highlight a few. As Jews, perhaps the most significant countdown of all should be the countdown

of the Omer that brings us to Shavuot. Although Shavuot is now behind us, listening to our Rabbi’s holiday mes-sages, I could not help contemplating that the services be embraced in greater numbers. After all, this is Shavuot, a festival commemorating the giving of the Torah, and although we put great emphasis on the High Holy Days, without the Torah, I’m inclined to think that these highly regarded observances would not take place. They are all possible only because of what transpired at Mount Sinai so many millennia ago. Many of you might be familiar with the popular 50’s-60’s TV series THE MILLIONAIRE. Surprisingly, while we went through the services for Shavuot, this TV series crept into my thoughts. I saw some parallels in what took place in the series, and what happened at Sinai. If you recall, each week, viewers were treated to a voice-only, unseen benefactor who gave $1 million to an ordinary, everyday individual. Intriguingly, all we ever see of this mysterious benefactor was the back of his chair, and his outstretched hand as he gives the million-dollar check to his faithful courier Michael. Flipping the script to Mt. Sinai, we find Ha-Shem to be a mysterious, unseen God who has commanded Moses, His faithful courier, teacher and prophet, to bring a host of ordinary people (albeit former slaves that they were), to a mountain because He desires to bestow upon them a most precious and unique gift - His Torah! It is worthy to note that this “benefactor” did not scrimp on the special FX for this auspicious occasion. Just picture it! There is fire on Sinai, and smoke enshrouds it. The mountain is shaking. It’s thundering. Lightening is flashing; there is a shofar blast that keeps getting louder & louder. Amongst all this Hollywood-esque backdrop, the people hear a voice. So frightening is the sound that the people beg Moses to tell the speaker (Ha-Shem) to stop! The request is favorably accepted. Moses alone climbs Mt. Sinai to meet with the benefactor. At this God-to-man encounter, he receives tablets of laws, written by the benefactor’s very “hand”. As with the TV viewers, who like myself, wished to see the giver’s face, so too it was with the courier Moses, who pleads to see Ha-Shem’s “face”, but all Moses ever gets to see of the benefactor (Ha-Shem) is His “back”, anthropomorphically speaking of course. Here we are today, multiple generational recipients of this unique gift of Torah, from an unseen benefactor, who has chosen us to be his peculiar treasure. May we always be thankful for it, honor it, and hold it dear. As Hillel teaches: “The more Torah, the more Life.” Indeed, “this is the Torah, this (is) our Law. Our Fathers did inherit it. Intact it was to us transferred, intact we will (in turn) transfer it.” For it is our life, our light, our truth. May we all have a safe, enjoyable summer as we keep the Torah in our thoughts. Shalom!Aubrey Harley

The tree has always been a symbol of life and strength in the Jewish tradition. The parts of the tree depend upon one another just as those in need in our com-munity depend upon Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek for help and support.

In the same manner, Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek depends upon the generosity of our community to enable us to continue to provide that support. The Tree of Life is the perfect symbol to allow us to recognize the generous donors who, in turn, help us to continue providing necessary services to our community.

Consider honoring a friend or relative’s birthday, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, anniversary, etc. or using this as a memorial gift. By purchasing a leaf for the Tree of Life, you will not only be helping the Tree to grow,

but you will also be helping TBTST to grow, now and in the future. There are gold, silver and bronze leaves available at a price of $180.If you are interested in supporting TBTST, please contact our office and we will gladly assist you. You can also email [email protected] or make your donation online at www.tbtst.org.

PRAYERS FOR THE SICK If a relative or friend is suffering from an illness, perhaps you would like to recite a special prayer for the speedy recovery of the ailing person. Traditionally, the Hebrew name of the sick person and the Hebrew name of the sick person's mother are mentioned during the prayer. It would be helpful if you would provide us with this information when you make your request. Prayers for the recovery of the sick are customarily accompanied by a gift to a deserving charity. The merit of this kind deed arouses God's mercy and His powers of healing. Although any amount is deemed appropri-ate on such an occasion, a gift of CHAI - $18 - or multiples of 18 - is particularly fitting when pleading for a person's recovery from sickness. CHAI in Hebrew means life. The two Hebrew letters which constitute the word - CHET and YUD - have the numerical equivalents of eight and ten respectively, together yielding the sum of eighteen. For this reason it has become a custom to give charity in the amount of CHAI when praying for the well-being of a suffering person. Enclosed please find a contribution in the sum of $ _____________________________________________Please make a Misheberach (Prayer for the recovery) for:Name (English) __________________________________________________________________________(Hebrew)_______________________Mother's Name (Hebrew)

Yahrzeit is a Yiddish word, which literally means “time of year” or memorial. Jews of Ashkenazi descent use this term. Sephardim call this commemoration nahala, in Ladino. This custom is widely observed and based on the Jewish tradition of commemorating the death of a relative.

All the Yahrzeit rituals are deeply ingrained in the Jewish life. The common rituals that are performed in the honorable memory of the departed soul include reciting the Kaddish prayer and lighting a Yahrzeit candle.

Yahrzeit also includes the action of donating charity in memory of a deceased loved one. Through the performance of the mitzvah of tzedakah in the name of the departed, the merit of the deed is shared with the soul of the late relative, as their memory is enhanced

Become an important part of TBTST's Social Action Committee’sMazon Project

The WECARE community outreach program operates a food pantry that provides over 3,500 bags of groceries each year to our neighbors in need regardless of race, religion, age, gender or nationality. We could not accomplish this important mitzvah if not for the generous donations we receive year round from caring individuals, organizations, schools, synagogues and businesses in our community. Thanks to United Way of Broward County, we are also able to distribute fresh produce to needy people through Project Lifeline. Donations are greatly needed and appreciated to keep our shelves stocked so we can help the many men, women and children needing our services throughout the year. Currently, WECARE provides enough free non-perishable food and fresh produce to prepare over 65,000 meals for our neighbors in need. WECARE also collects small toiletry items, provides free medical equipment loans including wheelchairs, walkers and canes, distributes hand-knitted items to nursing home residents, and collects eyeglasses and hearing aids that are sent to New Eyes for the Needy. Donations of toiletry items and medical equipment are very much appreciated. Facts about Hunger in Broward County According to Million Meals Committee, there are 19 active food pantries in Broward County inclusive of the Soref JCC WECARE Food Pantry, and 4 active food banks. The Broward Regional Health Planning Council, Inc., Food Security Survey Report notes that 44% of all students enrolled in Broward County elementary schools qualify for free and reduced lunches. 15% of 56,873 Broward children live in poverty.

The Parent Bereavement group (l’horim shocholim) meets at TBTST the second Wednesday every month at 6:30 PM.

We are a caring group who share a common experience and support each other, offer insights, or just listen as you express yourself.

This group has been meeting for many years, and it is open to anyone whose child has died. You do not have to be a temple member to attend.

The benefits that bereaved parents receive are very comforting.
