“Just Between You and Me . . .”
“ On behalf of The Temple, and on a personal note, thank you to all those who volunteered to help welcome our guests, from the Murfreesboro mosque and the wider Muslim community, so graciously, kindly, and warmly. You made your Temple, and its inclusive spirit, shine brightly. I am most grateful and most appreciative. “
The following is an article by Kevin Walters that appeared in The Tennessean on Monday, February 24, 2014.
They held hands. They shared a meal. They laughed and joked. And for a few hours Sunday in Nashville, more than 200 members of The Temple Congregation Ohabai Sholom and members of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro shed the perception that Jews and Muslims — locked in decades of bitter strife — can only be enemies. Yet it was outrage that drew the groups together. After hearing the heated public opposition to the Murfreesboro mosque, Temple Rabbi Mark Schiftan reached out to ICM Imam Ossama Bahloul and organized a trip late last year to see the mosque and learn more about Islam. On Sunday, Bahloul and three busloads of ICM members returned the favor, giving Schiftan and Bahloul a chance to field questions from each other’s congregations about faith, Scriptures and the future for each religion. “We went because the level of xenophobia against the Muslim community, particularly in Murfreesboro, was so high in terms of religious intolerance (and) bigotry,” Schiftan said. “We went really on the grounds of another minority community of faith, to stand in solidarity with the Muslim community in the affirmation of the protection of First Amendment rights.” Could visits by members of one synagogue and one mosque break years of opposition? Bahloul thinks so, and he said the visits’ importance could bring greater acceptance later. “I think it’s really big. I think that the Jewish and Muslim community getting together is an essential issue in this time,” Bahloul said. “We are trying to achieve peace.” Temple members smiled, joked and greeted the ICM members who walked through the house of worship, some holding hands with Temple members, while others smiled or took cell phone photos and videos. The visit gave Temple members an opportunity to show off The Temple’s art and artifacts, including a portion of stained glass recovered from The Temple’s former Vine Street location that had been kept in a TGIFriday’s restaurant until it was reclaimed and a Torah recovered from a burned German synagogue. There was optimism that Sunday’s lesson could resonate beyond Nashville. “I think it’s fantastic that The Temple and the mosque are opening up a dialogue,” said Temple member Anne Ginsberg. “I think that not understanding leads to fear, and understanding leads to acceptance.” Vanderbilt University graduate student Wadud Hassan, a member of the Islamic Center of Nashville, came to show solidarity for the Murfreesboro mosque and says long-range change can come. “I think on the surface level it seems like it’s great (public relations),” Hassan said. “The deeper message is actually what is having an impact all over the world. American Jews and American Muslims are setting a precedent.”

Get on BoardTemple to Table Food Fest 2014
The Temple’s 2014 fundraiser is right around the corner, and it will feature a weekend of dining and food-related activities. There will be something for everyone, with lots of opportunities for
parents to participate with their children. Best of all, the events are either free or reasonably priced. I’m really excited about this fundraiser. As many of you know, food is my passion, and I consider myself to be somewhat of a gourmet cook. Other guys may talk a good game when it comes to prowess in the kitchen, but let me assure you, I know a soufflé from oatmeal – oatmeal has the raisins, right? My wife will be the first to tell you that I know my way around our kitchen. In fact, I have to walk through it just to get to the garage. Significantly, the kitchen contains the most important and magical appliance in the house – the refrigerator. I don’t know about yours, but our refrigerator contains all sorts of stuff. How the stuff got inside there, I don’t know, but that’s part of the refrigerator’s mystique. Getting back to the fundraiser, you will be hearing and receiving detailed information about it in the coming days. For now, I want to give you a brief overview of what will take place. The festivities kick-off on April 11, 2014, and will include three evening dining experiences: (1) Israeli Family Night, featuring traditional food, music, and dancing, immediately following our Friday Shabbat Service; (2) Young adults’ night out (20’s and 30’s) on Saturday, and; (3) Our main event on Sunday, when Mangia comes to The Temple. In addition to evening dining, the weekend, starting Friday morning, will feature a number of culinary classes led by some of the top chefs in Nashville; a discussion of the truths and myths about heart-healthy eating; and much, much, more… For example, there will be a session on how to create elegant chocolate desserts, led by the Director of the Salud Cooking School at Whole Foods. For those even more adventurous, Kristen Gregory, chef at Firefly, and winner of Food Network’s “ Chopped,” will dazzle with her creativity as she prepares lunch for participants. All of the weekend activities are designed to be fun, informative and, for the most part, family friendly. The plan is to engage the entire congregation with events that will be affordable and entertaining. Pricing will be a la carte, that is, per event. For example, if a family decides to attend only the Israeli Dinner, they will be able to purchase only that event. In addition, our members will have the opportunity to become a Sponsor – either a Master Chef, Executive Chef, Sous Chef, or Short Order Cook. Sponsors will have several perks, including priority reservations and entry to all events. Temple to Table Food Fest should be a delightful and memorable weekend, and I hope that you will be able to attend. So, mark your calendar, save the dates, April 11-13, and get ready for lots of food, fun and excitement.
Rabbi Schiftan’s Sabbatical Update:Rabbi Schiftan will be taking the third part of a delayed three-part sabbatical,
approved by the Board of Trustees several years ago. He will include this phase alongside his summer vacation plans for this year.
Rabbi Schiftan will be gone from mid-June until early August, with the final dates to be determined in the very near future.
Please note that during his absence, Rabbi Mackler and Cantor Fishbein will be available for any pastoral and life cycle needs of the congregation.

Social Action
Our next Blood Drive will be on Sunday, May 4th. To make your appointment, email Betsy Davis at [email protected].
Life
Read this and take action! At our January Social Action Shabbat, representatives from Meharry 12 South Community Clinic wanted to “give back”, so they took the blood pressure of anyone interested. One of our female congregants took part. The person who took her blood pressure the first time, said “this can’t be right”, but when she took it again, she got the same reading. She said, “I am so glad I attended the Social Action Shabbat and so grateful to the representatives from Meharry for their insistence that I go to the ER.” This is someone who had no symptoms, exercises regularly, eats well (most of the time!), whose weight/height ratio as well as her BMI fall within normal ranges, but whose stress level was (as the ER doc said) likely the cause of her high blood pressure. He also said that it was a good thing she came to the ER as her outcome might not have been positive otherwise. She is now taking medication and her readings are closer to normal range.
High Blood Pressure can lead to stroke or heart attack. The Social Action Committee urges everyone who hasn’t had their blood pressure checked recently to have it checked. It could save your life!
Meharry 12 South Community ClinicEach month we highlight an organization which receives funds through the Temple’s Social Action Allocations
Meharry 12 South Community Clinic is a student-run free clinic staffed by volunteer medical students and faculty from Meharry Medical College. They offer comprehensive family healthcare for all ages, including case management and follow-up, with all possible patient assistance given for pharmacy, transportation, diagnostic testing, social work and specialist referral as determined by patient need and resources. The clinic provides free high quality healthcare to Nashville’s underserved populations and serves as a clinical skills training ground for students. Meharry 12 South Community Clinic has received a 2014 Social Action Allocation which is being put towards the clinic’s actual operating expenses.

2014 Women’s Retreat: January 17 - 19, 2014A few weeks ago, 27 women from our congregation got together at the beautiful Drouillard House for our biennial Women’s Retreat. This was, without a doubt, the best ever! Collectively, we learned, listened and laughed as we shared our stories. The weekend included creative Shabbat services and experiences, led by Rabbi Mackler, Cantor
Fishbein, and Ellie Flier. We studied some text, played and some of us even hoola-hooped. We ate (and ate!) did yoga, went for walks, and made incredible marbled artwork, learning to make beauty out of perceived chaos... a life lesson to
be sure. So many women participated to make this year’s retreat terrific! We cannot wait for the next one!

Below: Renowned Israeli artist, Avi Zukerman, shares his wisdom with the 6th grade families from our community about The Torah and all of its accoutrements. Then all the families gathered as
each student created their own sterling silver yad with their Hebrew name in the center. We hope each student will use his or her yad as they read their own Torah portions as they become Bar or
Bat Mitzvah.
Right: Hadar Moskovitz, our Community Shlicha and
Educator teaches our 9th graders how to “cook Israeli”. They
cooked and shared a great meal together.
Above: 5th graders use our floor size Israel map to learn about the different sites in Israel.
Left: 6th graders trace their family history and create
their own family tree going back 3 generations as part
of our four-part Bar/Bat Mitzvah workshop.
Below: Kindergarten families create growth charts that they can hang at home so they are ready to measure themselves as they become consecrated
next Fall.
As we enter the final third of our Religious School year, we are excited about all the different activities, projects and learning moments that continue to happen. Our Kindergarten families celebrated their Year of Blessings by creating a special project using the Shehecheyanu. Our 2nd graders have completed a book entitled “A Blessing Is......, our 4th graders are working on a philanthropy project for a charter school in Nashville along with writing a blessing book, “Blessings Matter”. Our 6th graders are completing their Bar/Bat Mitzvah workshop series and our 7th graders have completed a special paper cutting project containing a blessing of their choice. Our 9th graders continued their Jewish Lens project by visiting The Temple Cemetery with Ralph Levy. They study text prior to each trip so they can take photos that connect with the texts they have studied. We are proud of our students and their commitment to their Jewish learning and appreciate their parents who continue to encourage their studies. We are looking forward to the remaining activities and projects in which our students will participate. We know they will continue to provide meaning and learning for their lives moving forward.
Left: 4th graders create their own Challah board as part of their study
of Shabbat and how traditions are created

Preschoolby Jan Huettner & Corye Nelson
Music and Movement in the Classroom
March 2014- www.templenashville.org - 615-352-7620 ~ page 13
Can you relate to having an awful day? You are late to work, or you forgot your lunch at home, or the weather outside was dreadful! All of a sudden you hear a song on the radio on your way to work and your mood becomes instantaneously changed. Maybe it’s a song that you remember from your wedding or maybe you remember singing this song as a child, or perhaps, it was your prom song- the one that takes you back in time. When you step out of the car you’re ready to have a wonderful day. How does this happen? How can a simple song transform your whole day’s disposition? There are even “happy play lists” available for sale right now for people stuck in the snow at home in the northeast section of the country. Music is magic. It has a unique ability to enrich your soul. Fortunately, The Temple Preschool is surrounded by music. From our infant classes, you will hear the sounds of soothing lullabies that are played during naptime. Upon entering an eighteen-month old classroom, you might hear music thumping in the background. You will see our toddlers, unable to resist moving to a strong beat, bobbing their heads up and down or dancing, frantically waving their arms and legs. In our two-year old classroom, musical instruments are taken out when Cantor Fishbein enters the room with her guitar. A musical “sing along,” complete with tambourines and drums, is heard in the hallways. As the children become older they are exposed to poems and stories that they can put to music. Listening centers are an integral part of their classrooms. At the end of the week, the whole school celebrates Shabbat with developmentally
appropriate songs, and even the infants, lying in a straight line on the floor of the “big room,” have contented smiles on their faces as they listen to the piano and the guitar accompany the whole school singing, “There’s a Dinosaur Knocking on my Door.” The curriculum guidelines set by the National Association for Music Education for young children stipulate that children should have ample opportunities to experience music: to sing, move, listen or play musical instruments. Additionally, teachers are encouraged to expand music opportunities in the classroom. Some examples of this might be dancing to the beat, imitating sounds, recording singing and music-making outside or in the classroom, chanting, making artistic pictures while listening to music, or even making up a musical play. The opportunities here at the Preschool are infinite and the skills and ability to incorporate music and movement on a daily basis are enhanced by the creative ability of our teaching staff. They recognize that children should have the enjoyment of hearing the music, moving to the music and experiencing emotional reactions to what they are hearing and feeling. Music is nonjudgmental and noncompetitive. Some children will join in the activity and movement immediately while others may just listen or observe their peers as they take part in musical movement. Studies have shown that children’s early experiences with movement and music influence their later knowledge, concept development, skills and attitudes (Isenberg & Jalongo, 2001). It is a joy to watch our children begin to develop a lifelong love of music.
