There is Torah within each of us. There is a connection to the es-
sence of God that flows through our spirits and can guide us.
This may seem elusive and distant, too hard to track down and
draw out. This might seem too commanding and binding, better
to be ignored. This might seem uncertain and indefinite, best to
leave uninvestigated. When we ignore this Torah within we deprive ourselves of one of
God’s greatest gifts to each of us. When we ignore this Torah within we also rob those
around us of the unique wisdom we should be sharing.
It is a well-known “joke” that if you put two Jews together you get three opinions. This
is usually said in a mocking tone, but it is profoundly serious and a great compliment to
our people. Each of us is called upon to put our ideas, our Torah on the table of the
community and expose it to those around us. They will do likewise. But this is not kin-
dergarten show and tell; the opinions and views clash. This smashing together of ideas
leads to a third better opinion for all of us. Each of us only has some of the ingredients
but they must be added to the communal pot if the recipe is to be complete.
Participating in this cooking is terrifying and embarrassing and humbling. It is also en-
nobling, enlightening and empowering like nothing else. Recently our congregant Art
Louv took me up on the offer I made to the community almost a year ago. Share your
views with us during a service. Give us your Torah and let us learn from each other. He
did a great job and I hope will be followed by many more. Each summer many volun-
teers share their Torah while I am on vacation and this ensures we keep learning all
year. But such opportunities need not wait till then. Learning and sharing what is
learned is not a rabbinic monopoly. Please contact me if you would like to study to-
gether or prepare something to share with the community. Let us all learn from your
Torah.
From the Rabbi

To our Temple Israel Family,
A Happy and Healthy New Year to all in our family. By the time this message
gets to you, 2017 will be upon us. There are many exciting things on the ho-
rizon for Temple Israel, and some recent events and happenings to recap.
First, many thanks to all who have served Temple Israel as a volunteer
leader in the past year. From working in the kitchen, volunteering in the office, serving on commit-
tees, serving as an officer or Board member, we could not do it all without you. Thanks too, to our
office personnel, and to Rabbi for working hard to make sure our Shul can be there for all of us.
Mitzvah day was a success, as we cleaned up the Shul a bit, relocated our President Photos to the
wall outside our chapel, changed light bulbs, worked in the kitchen and storage rooms, and cookies
and brownies were baked for local fire and police agencies.
Our Foyer renovation project will commence in the next few weeks. A new floor, new furniture to
house our Tallitot, and new paint and furniture will welcome everyone entering our Sanctuary. I also
understand our Sisterhood is renovating the kitchen storage area behind the Social Hall doors near
the kitchen, which will spruce up that area, and thanks go out to our Ladies, always working hard for
TI.
We are optimistic that our former library, now-titled as an art studio, will receive some much-needed
attention to make it a functional and operational room for our Religious School Students. We are
hoping to install new drywall, paint, and possibly, new flooring in there to really enhance our kids’
love of art and creativeness.
Another project being investigated is installation of hot water in our two forward-situated bath-
rooms, near the Sanctuary and Chapel. This will not only be a wonderful enhancement to our facil-
ity, but will assist Share-the-Care in their mission to care for our elder community. Share The Care
has signed on for 2017 in their current space, and our relationship with Temple Shir Shalom also ex-
tends to the end of 2017.
The Meitin Alliance for Growth and Learning (MAGAL) continues to thrive with our collaboration
with Temple Shir Shalom. We hope for growth and learning to continue as a source of pride at Tem-
ple Israel, for 2017 and beyond, with over 40 students from our combined Shuls at this time.
From the Kluger Family to yours, a Happy and Healthy New Year, and until we see each other again.

Greetings parents,
Last month we enjoyed a very special religious school Shabbat on December 16
when many of our children in our 3-5 grade class were presented with their very
own personalized siddur as created by their parents. January’s religious school
Shabbat will be January 20. Please join us!

Hello youth & families,
The month of December was a big month for the youth department here at Temple Is-
rael. We ran events for all three age groups and had a great time developing relation-
ships and having fun.
The coming month of January is going to hold much of the same experience. I have
planned an overnight for all three groups and I am hoping that this proves to have even
more fun and excitement than the last.
We are going to be holding and overnight for Kadima which will include a dinner of ap-
petizers and junk food, a movie, ice cream, and some late night style games. USY is go-
ing to also have dinner and a movie but we are going to be making our own pizzas and
watching a movie. L’Dor V’Dor is going to be coming to the shul and we will be having
some relay races as well as trivia style games which will involve prizes. All in all this
month is going to be full of fun, excitement, cinema, and a lot of food.
I hope to see all of the kids and am excited to meet the parents I have not yet had the
pleasure of meeting.

Sisterhood is part of the bigger picture, not only of our
synagogue but of Conservative/Masorti Judaism interna-
tionally. As the graphic to below suggests, each of us is a
unique puzzle piece that, joined together, completes the
picture.
At the start of our new secular calendar year it is a good time to re-
flect on Sisterhood membership and, if you have not yet renewed (or
joined!), now is the time to do that. In celebration of our members
and in anticipation of the Centennial year of Women’s League
(WLCJ), everyone is invited to Sisterhood Shabbat on Saturday morn-
ing, January 21, 2017.
What is so special about Sisterhood Shabbat? Don’t women in our
congregation routinely ascend the Bimah to lead services, chant Torah and Haftorah and share a sermon or a
d’var? The answer is “Yes!” we do – and we are very proud to do so. But Sisterhood Shabbat is important for
many other reasons as well.
It is a time when women who may not feel comfortable taking a part during a Shabbat morning
service, feel empowered to do so.
Sisterhood Shabbat is an opportunity to honor those women who have stepped up to lead or par-
ticipate in Sisterhood events all year.
The sermon on Sisterhood Shabbat provides our congregation with information about our Sister-
hood’s accomplishments in the past year and a vision of what is planned for the remainder of the
year.
It is an opportunity for our Rabbi to sit with his family and enjoy a Shabbat service as a
“Jew in the pew!”
For more information about joining/renewing your membership, contact VP Membership, Mollie Savage at
[email protected]. To volunteer for a part in our Sisterhood Shabbat please contact Sharon Sachs
who is coordinating the service at [email protected].

Torah Fund Campaign
The 2017 Torah Fund Campaign is at the half-way point and there is still plenty of time
to make a gift! Torah Fund is the designated philanthropy of Women’s League for
Conservative Judaism and it supports the students and institutions of the Conserva-
tive/Masorti movement. These institutions are:
Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York
Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles (Rabbi Neely’s alma mater!)
Seminario Rabinico Latinamericano in Buenos Aires
Schechter Institutes in Jerusalem
Zacharias Frankel College in Potsdam
For more information about how you can support the future of Conservative/Masorti Judaism please contact
Cathy Swerdlow at [email protected] or 407.862.2374. More information is coming by mail about a special
Torah Fund event in January!
Equality at the Kotel
The flyer on the next page outlines the issues regarding equality at the Kotel and the cam-
paign organized by Masorti to bring about the promised changes that have been trampled on
by the current leadership in Israel. Since the creation of this flyer the need to speak up has in-
tensified because of the bill introduced into the Knesset by ultra-Orthodox MK that would
outlaw egalitarian prayer at the Kotel and criminalize the wearing of a tallit or tefillin or read-
ing aloud from Torah by women.
For more information - http://www.jta.org/2016/12/12/news-opinion/israel-middle-east/bill-
preventing-non-orthodox-prayer-at-western-wall-submitted-to-knesset
Please take a moment and read the information, click on the action button to either send a
letter and/or make a donation. You may also want to consider becoming a member of the
Masorti Foundation for Conservative Judaism in Israel – membership numbers have a great
impact in Israel and around the world.

A Time to Build Up: Raising Compassionate Children
Wednesday, February 1, 12:00 pm
What’s a parent to do when hate is suddenly haute? The past few
months have seen an increase in hate speech and in racist and anti-
Semitic incidents in communities and schools across America. What re-
sources can Jewish tradition offer parents who want to teach their chil-
dren to be upstanders rather than bystanders? Join Rabbi Cara
Weinstein Rosenthal, USCJ’s Family Engagement Specialist, to explore
Jewish responses to the challenge of raising compassionate children in
difficult times. This webinar is for parents of young children and for synagogue lay leaders and
professionals.
You can register for the webinar by way of the USCJ website at www.uscj.org.

Trailblazers Mollie Savage Honored as Bornstein Graduate
The Jewish Federation of Greater Orlando's
Jerome J. Bornstein Leadership Development
Program has 11 new alumni.
Members of the 2015-16 Bornstein class were
honored in a graduation ceremony at Central
Florida Hillel last month. Federation officers
and Board members, along with several Born-
stein alumni, were on hand to celebrate with
the graduates [one of whom is Temple Israel’s
own Mollie Savage].
The Bornstein Leadership Development Program is designed to develop future
leaders for the Central Florida Jewish community. Those selected for the program
participate in a yearlong educational experience that includes deep dives into top-
ics such as leadership style, effective board and volunteer management, and en-
gagement around Israel, to name a few. Past Bornstein graduates have gone on
to serve on boards and hold top leadership positions at many of Central Florida's
synagogues and Jewish agencies, as well as at the Jewish Federation of Greater
Orlando.

The Temple Israel Cemetery Corporation requests that they be
notified of any event that is scheduled to take place at the Temple
Israel Cemetery such as an unveiling. This request is made so that
the cemetery is made presentable, so that the grave site has been
cleaned of fallen debris, to coordinate any unusual activities from
being scheduled at the same time such as tree trimming and to
make sure the irrigation system has been turned off. This request is
made so that potential conflicts are prevented.
Please call the Temple Israel office at 407.647.3055 or the Temple
Israel Cemetery office at 321.972.9893.
Our Condolences to …
Alice Mannette & Gene Semel and their families, on the loss of their beloved mother, Sylvia Semel, who passed away on Sunday, December 18, 2016.

Temple Israel’s Keepers of the Flame Not surprisingly, our membership dues do not cover Temple Israel’s expenses, and without generous donations we would be unable to fulfill our mission of building a sacred community. Thus our basic dues represent a member’s minimum financial commitment. Recognizing that there are many mem-bers who have the ability and the desire to provide greater support in addition to their basic dues, Temple Israel created a membership category called Keepers of the Flame to provide a mechanism for this increased level of giving. The generosity of our current and future Keepers is vital to the sustain-ability and growth of Temple Israel.
In appreciation of this increased-dues level of commitment, Keepers of the Flame are welcome at all Temple Israel sponsored Shabbat dinners, synagogue Seders and program events without additional charge. Only a reservation is required. Additionally, there is a designated “Keepers of the Flame” seat-ing area at all of the High Holiday services.
The following giving levels are suggested:
Benefactors $15,000 and up
Pillars $10,000 to $14,999
Defenders $7,800 to $9,999
Guardians $5,300 to $7,799
Protectors $3,300 to $5,299
Preservers $2,400 to $3,299
Kindlers (individuals only) $2,000 to $2,399
If you would like to be counted among our Keepers of the Flame, please send your giving level to:
Temple Israel 50 S. Moss Rd.,
Winter Springs, FL 32708-3002
For further information please contact our President, Mark Kluger, at 407.280.2831
