Rabbis Message
iEngage
The pain and destructiveness of the war between Israel and Hamas this past summer had two
polar effects: it united and it divided. The Israeli population, and those of us who are not
Israelis but found ourselves there in the midst of the situation this summer, were, by and
large, united in the understanding that this war, though unwanted by Israel, was necessary
and unavoidable. According to most polls, upwards of 90% of the Israeli people stood
shoulder to shoulder in support of the Prime Ministers leadership at the time even those
who are not particularly "fans" of his during more ordinary times.
That being said, the war also stirred up an enormous backlash against Israel, from Jews and
non-Jews alike, not only regarding its policies, but in many cases, regarding its very exis-
tence. That backlash unfortunately also stirred up the undercurrents of global anti-Semitism
that burst into the open this summer with ugly and frightening invective.
But now the war is over, thank God, and Israel itself must return to addressing its most vexing internal social is-
sues, which have become even more pressing in recent years. After 66 years of statehood, it seems quite appro-
priate that we remind ourselves of the Zionist aspiration as it began in principle, and as it has evolved in reality;
that we reset our focus upon the values of Judaism, humanitarian ethics, and the spirit of democracy and fairness,
that optimally should be guiding principles of the State of Israel.
During this coming year our Adult Education program will offer a 10-part series from the Shalom Hartman Insti-
tute as part of the Engaging Israel endeavor, known as "iEngage." We offered the first series in this endeavor
two years ago. The ten segments of this series will offer video lectures by Rabbi Dr. Donniel Hartman, President
of the Hartman Institute, along with supporting text study that I will conduct (since text study is at the core of the
Hartman Institute). Many of the segments also will feature conversations by some of the extraordinary scholars
of the Hartman faculty, in addition to some formidable public figures. The title of this second series in the iEn-
gage project is The Tribes of Israel: A Shared Homeland for a Divided People. See page 7 in this Bulletin for
the schedule of topics in this iEngage series.
As American Jews, our relationship with Israel is a complicated one that warrants great thoughtfulness on our
part. This series will offer thought-provoking and sophisticated content, so emblematic of the Hartman Institute.
I hope that you will attend as many of these programs as possible. They will be on Wednesday evenings, 7:30-
9:30 PM. We are participating in this series through the generosity of a grant from UJA-Federation of New
York, so the only cost to each of you is a one-time $20 fee for the sourcebooks that contain the texts we will be
studying together. We also promise mouthwatering desserts, and you know we'll make good on that. The three
fall sessions will be on October 22, 29, and November 12. Please join us. We need to talk about these things
together.

Officers Column
Welcome to Our New Tenants
In September, we welcomed a new tenant to the fifth floor, the German School Brooklyn, a private bilingual
elementary school. The school opened September 15 with 20 children in grades K through 2. Over the next
five years, the school will grow to include grades K through 6.
We first heard about the German School through our member Christine Krabs, who for many years has run a
German immersion Montessori-type preschool. Christines husband, Rich Goodstein, a former NFTY song
leader, has played guitar at many of our worship services, and their children attend our Religious School.
Over the summer, members of Union Temple met with Christine and another founder, Kathrin Nagle, from
the German mission to the UN, as well as the principal of the school, Muriel Plag, who has headed German
schools in Cairo and Luxor. In July, parents of students and prospective students visited the fifth floor space
coincidentally, on the same day the German team won the World Cup soccer finals! An auspicious start.
Many thanks are due to Temple members Jonathan Holman and, especially, Mike Wolfson, who crafted the
lease on the Temples behalf.
On a more sober note, our longtime Temple Administrator, John Golomb, has tendered his resignation. John
will stay on past the High Holy Days to provide a smooth transition to the new administrator. We thank John
for his eight years of good-natured service to the Temple and wish him all the best in the future.
-Bea Hanks, President
Brotherhood
Get Out Your Drills!
On Sunday morning, October 5th the day after Yom Kippur Brotherhood will assemble our sukkah, just in
time for the Religious School kids to decorate it. This always tops the list of fun Brotherhood activities. And
well have coffee and bagels, too.
In the mystery novel Invisible City by Julia Dahl, the main character, Rebekah Roberts, is a tabloid reporter
just starting out after college. She gets an assignment to go to a scrap metal yard by the Gowanus canal where
a dead woman is dangling from a crane. She learns that the victim is a Hasidic mother of four from Borough
Park. Next she is sent to the victims home to try to talk to the family, after the police notify them, and see if
any neighbors or police officers might have something to say. Rebekah is a recent transplant to Brooklyn. She
was raised in Florida by her Christian father, who met her mother, a young Hasidic woman, at the Strand
bookstore during a year or two of rebellion against her upbringing. But her mother left them to return to her
Hasidic community when Rebekah was less than a year old, and they havent heard from her since. Outside
the victims home, Saul Katz introduces himself to Rebekah as a police detective who is not assigned to the
case, but is there as a liaison because he is familiar with the community and can translate between Yiddish and
English. He urges her to stick with the story, because too many incidents in the Borough Park community get
buried and forgotten without resolution. And he tells her one more thing: You look just like your mother.
She is hooked on the story, and determined to get answers. I will be leading a book discussion about Invisible
City on Sunday morning, November 16th. Read the book and join the discussion. Or just come and listen.
As always, our Brotherhood is happy to welcome new members. Annual Brotherhood dues are just $36.
Come to our meetings, and join us!

Today is the first day of school. The fourth floor is abuzz. As children enter the big room they slide down the
big slide, make a phone call on our very antique phone booths and then drive to far-away lands at the wheel of
our three person driving bench. Then theyre off to their classrooms. The beginning of school year is known
as the phase-in period. Classes are divided in half with each half group attending for an abbreviated day.
Parents join us for phase-in to help ease their childs transition to preschool. Over the next few weeks our pre-
schoolers will gradually get to know their classmates and teachers and get used to their daily routines.
The teaching staff returned to school after Labor Day renewed and ready to start a wonderful new year. We
greeted three new staff members. Claudia Taylor will be teaching two classes of two year olds; our three day a
week Chickadees and two day a week Starlings. Claudia recently moved back to Brooklyn from San Francisco
where she was a literacy specialist/reading coach at a middle school. Claudia has over ten years of teaching
experience ranging from preschool through middle school.
Sarah Gomori will also be joining our professional staff as a floater. Sarah has worked here as part of our sum-
mer program since 2010, first as a CIT and most recently as an assistant teacher. Sarah spent the last year in
Spain working at a preschool.
We are also happy to have Amy Shubert-Corrao join us as a part time floater. Amy has worked here as a regu-
lar substitute teacher the last two years. She is a gifted artist and brings her artistic talents into all of the class-
rooms.
We are all looking forward to a new year full of growth, friendship and discovery.

Wednesday Evenings at Union Temple: 7:30 - 9:30 PM
October 22: THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS A TRIBAL FAMILY explores how the Jewish tradition conceptualizes the
Jewish people as a tribal family. It recognizes that Jewish collective identity has always been a divided and tribal
one, requiring the balancing of collective consciousness with individual and tribal sensibilities. [Dr. Hartman]
October 29: THE "ORTHODOX" JEWISH TRIBES explores two Jewish tribes within Israel that conceive of Or-
thodoxy as the only authentic form of Judaism: the Ultra-Orthodox and Religious Zionists. It presents a nu-
anced understanding of the defining characteristics of each tribe the challenges they face, and their place
within the broader mosaic of Israeli society. [Dr. Hartman, and interviews with Yechezkel Fogel, Yael
Chechik, Dov Elbaum, and Yedidia Stern]
November 12: THE "LIBERAL" JEWISH TRIBES examines the four Jewish tribes within Israel that reject the
monopoly of Orthodoxy: Masorti (traditional), Jewish secular, Israeli secular and Jewish Non-Jewish. [Dr.
Hartman, and interviews with Ruth Calderon, Rani Jaeger, Melila Hellner-Eshed, and Dani Elazar]
January 7: THE NORTH AMERICAN JEWISH TRIBES explores current trends within North American Jewry,
new modes of affiliation that are emerging beyond traditional denominational divisions, and the impact of
these changes on the relationship with Israel. [Dr. Hartman, and an interview with Rabbi Rick Jacobs]
January 14: UNITY AND DIVERSITY IN THE JEWISH TRADITION explores how Jewish sources have grappled
with the issue of balancing the competing values of unity and diversity and provides key insights that can
help shape the conceptual landscape of a Jewish democratic public sphere. [Dr. Hartman, and interviews
with Dr. Yehuda Kurtzer and Rabbi Sharon Brous]
January 21: THE POROUS "WALL OF SEPARATION" BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE: LESSONS FROM THE US
AND CANADA examines the complex interaction between collective, tribal, and individual claims in Ameri-
can and Canadian jurisprudence through a study of American and Canadian legal traditions on questions of
State and religion. What emerges is a nuanced picture with important lessons for advancing a shared public
space in Israel consistent with its aspirations as a Jewish democracy. [Dr. Hartman]
March 11: SYNAGOGUE AND STATE: THE ISRAELI EXPERIENCE examines the current core principles that
shape Israeli jurisprudence on issues of religion and State in order to discern an emerging Israeli model for
rebalancing the relationship between synagogue and State and creating a public space in which both tribal
and national concerns can be met. [Dr. Hartman, and interviews with Ruth Gavison and Danny Statman]
March 25: SHARING THE PUBLIC SPHERE: NEW FOUNDATIONS FOR A JEWISH DEMOCRACY looks at cases
taken from headlines to examine the way in which the challenge of sharing the public sphere is being ad-
dressed in the current reality of modern Israel. [Dr. Hartman]
April 22: THE ARAB PALESTINIAN ISRAELI TRIBES explores the complex identity of Arab Palestinian Israelis
and opportunities for redefining the relationship of these tribes with the modern State of Israel. [Dr. Hart-
man and Interviews with Amal Jabareen and Mohammad Darawshe]
April 29: TRIBES AND PEOPLEHOOD: REFLECTIONS ON LIVING IN A TRIBAL FAMILY concludes the series with
a set of conversations that explore the lived experience of the Jewish people as a tribal family. [Interviews with
Yossi Klein Halevi, Rabbi Rachel Sabath Beit-Halachmi, Dr.Yehuda Kurtzer, Melila Hellner-Eshed, Gil Troy]

October is here, and with it comes our holiest day, Yom Kippur, followed by the joyful holidays of Sukkot and
Simchat Torah. Then its time for a pause in celebrations as the holiday-filled month of Tishrei gives way to
the month of Cheshvan, a month without holidays. A month of quiet introspection, Cheshvan is treasured by
women, for it marks the death of our Matriarch Rachel and of several remarkable women who continue to in-
spire us through their works and, in some cases, martyrdom.
Its a month that gives us time to explore how we can bring
renewal, inner tranquility, spiritual growth, balance, and
peace into our livesand our world.
On Sunday, October 26th, at 10 AM, Sisterhood will be
celebrating the beginning of Cheshvan with our first Rosh
Chodesh Seder of 5775. We hope youll be with us for this
beautiful ritual that honors Rachel and other Jewish women
who have inspired us through the millennia. Well also be
discussing Naomi Ragens fascinating book The Sisters
Weiss. Called a riveting novel by the Jewish Book Coun-
cil, The Sisters Weiss is the story of two sisters who grow up
in a rigid Hasidic family in Brooklyn in the 1950s, and it
follows the intriguing paths of their lives as one flees and the
other remains. As Booklist so aptly observes, ...its secrets
hold you to the very end.
Havent read the book? Not to worry. Youre sure to have
much to add to the discussion once it gets going. So join us
for a morning of lively talk, warm friendship, and mouth-
watering treats as we celebrate our cherished month of
Cheshvan, share ideas for future programs, and discuss the
book that the Historical Novel Society says should be on
everyones to read list....
Its never too late to become a meaningful part of Sister-
hood. If you have not yet renewed your membership, please
do so, and if you are not yet a Sisterhood member, we hope
you will join us now. It's as simple as writing a check for
$40 to Sisterhood of Union Temple. It takes just a moment,
and its a beautiful and easy way to perform the mitzvah of
bringing hope and help where they are needed by adding
your voice, your heart, and your hands to ours, as together
we reach out to perform tikkun olam.
