T h e R a b b i ’ s C o r n e r
At the Annual Congregational
Meeting, Cantor Sharlein
and I presented our idea for a
“bima makeover”. For many
years I have discussed, both
publicly and privately, my
concerns about our sanctuary
worship space. I don’t like
that my reading desk is so far
above and so far away from
the congregation, that there is
a wall separating us, that the
Rabbi Joseph P. Klein
cantor/choir is “all the way”
on the other side of the bima, and that our bima is not
handicap accessible. Over the years, I have explored
the possibility of major renovations, and Cantor Shar-
lein and I have this past year tried minor adjustments
and changes to bring us “into” the congregation so that
worship becomes more of a shared spiritual moment,
and less of an elevated leadership directing those in the
pews below.
Over the past several months the Cantor and I realized
that while not making very expensive or extensive
modifications to our bima, we could accomplish much
of what we want. Our plan is to extend the bima from
the second step (or perhaps third step) up from the
sanctuary floor, out into the congregation about 4 or
5 feet. (We have enough sanctuary carpet to cover the
extension) We would bring my reading desk to the
middle of this extension, where the Cantor and I would
stand. It would mean that we’d be standing one foot
(perhaps 18”) above the floor, in front of the wall. We
would remove the front pews on either side, and we
would have a ramp leading up to this extension along
the western bima wall. For the High Holidays and for
weddings we would return my reading desk to its cur-
rent position, but for all others sanctuary services, the
Cantor and I would lead worship from this extension.
Members who have heard our presentation have com-
mented that this would put the visual focus of worship
in the center, with the reading desk lifting one’s eyes to
the Ark, which leads up to the 10 Commandments on
the back wall. Instead of visually turning from one side
of the bima to the other, we would bring it all together
in the center. We will preserve the integrity of our
sanctuary design, while bringing our worship leaders
into the congregation—a reflection of the warm and
comfortable, friendly and welcoming congregation that
we are.
Temple Emanu-El: Where You Belong • 248-967-4020
C a n t o r ’ s N o t e s
As my first year at Temple Emanu-El
draws to a close, I thank you for welcom-
ing me into the community as your cantor.
It has been an honor to get to know so
many of our adults, children, and teens –
at life-cycle events and prayer services,
over Share Shabbat dinners and in the
classroom.... I look forward to deepening
these relationships and developing new
ones in the year to come.
I have shared with many that Michigan
feels not too different from New Jersey Cantor Darcie N. Sharlein
where I grew up, but one striking differ-
ence is the time of sunset, about 45 minutes later here than on the
East coast. This is most apparent during the summer, when the late
sunsets seem almost magical, as if time is suspended. I hope that you
will have many chances this summer to enjoy these slower, longer
days and the sun’s reluctant descent. You may enjoy reading the
following poem, written by Jacob Glatstein and translated by Ruth
Whitman, during one of our late Michigan sunsets (it’s found in
Mishkan T’filah in the Havdalah service, but can also be meaningful
on Friday night or perhaps a peaceful weekday evening).
I’ll let you in on a secret
about how one should pray the sunset prayer.
It’s a juicy bit of praying,
like strolling on grass,
nobody’s chasing you, nobody hurries you.
You walk toward your Creator with gifts in pure, empty hands.
The words are golden, their meaning is transparent,
it’s as though you’re saying them for the first time.
If you don’t catch on that you should feel a little elevated,
you’re not praying the sunset prayer.
The tune is sheer simplicity,
you’re just lending a helping hand to the sinking day.
It’s a heavy responsibility.
You take a created day and you slip it
into the archive of life,
where all our lived-out days are lying together.
The day is departing with a quiet kiss.
It lies open at your feet
while you stand saying the blessings.
You can’t create anything yourself, but you
can lead the day to its end and see
clearly the smile of its going down.
See how whole it all is, not diminished for a second,
how you age with the days that keep dawning,
how you bring your lived-out day as a gift to eternity.
(Mishkan T’filah, p. 611)

Help plan for ’09-’10
The Community of Learners/Adult Education Com-
mittee at Temple Emanu-El is seeking new members
to help plan classes, events and programs for 2009-
2010. If you have enjoyed our events in the past:
Scholar Evenings/Weekends, Lunch and Learn pro-
grams, Sunday morning discussions, lay and clergy-
led classes - please consider sharing your time and
energy with us. We meet once per month to plan and
toss around ideas. Bring your talent, enthusiasm and
experience to our discussions! Everyone is welcome.
Contact Pat Chomet for meeting dates/times - or if you
have any questions. 248-398-2646.
Every Can Counts
Now more than ever.
Our neighborhood food banks
thank you for sharing your food
with the hungry - because…
Now more than ever,
EVERY CAN COUNTS
Please note: “Plus a Can for
the Chaveet” message at all
Temple meals.
“Reform Jews are committed to Social Justice. Even
as Reform Jews embrace ritual, prayer and ceremony
more than ever, we continue to see social justice as the
jewel in the Reform Jewish crown. Like the prophets
we never forget that God is concerned about the ev-
eryday, and that the blights of society take precedence
over the mysteries of heaven. A Reform synagogue
that does not alleviate the anguish of the suffering is a
contradiction in terms.”
Rabbi Eric Yoffie, President URJ
In a timely effort to help “alleviate the anguish of the
suffering,” our congregation’s Social Action Com-
mittee is promoting - PLUS A CAN - FOR THE
CHAVEET.  Let us feed the hungry as we feed our-
selves at luncheons or dinners at temple. All we ask
is that you bring a can of wholesome food whenever
you enjoy a meal at Temple Emanu-El. It takes a con-
gregation to help the needy and the vulnerable.

Summer is going all too quickly as we get
ready for Session III of Day Camp. Our Camp
Run About campers have been enjoying fun in
the sun with water play, creative movement,
picnic lunches and Bubbles the Clown, just to
highlight some of our activities.
Our Camp Get Away children will be starting
the Session II Safety Town program under the
Eileen Brand direction of head teacher Janet Sigmon. The
campers will visit the Michigan State Police
Post as part of their Safety Town Unit. A field trip to the health
exploration station with a presentation of “Stranger Danger”
is part of our summer program. A magic performance by Ben
Spitzer, along with swimming at the JCC pool have filled our
days. Everyone has enjoyed our camp Shabbat sing-alongs with
Rabbi Klein and Cantor Sharlein. Summer Slices has been a tasty
highlight of our summer program as we offered optional pizza
lunches on Wednesdays. Safety Town graduation will be held on
Thursday, July 23. Our Session III camp program begins on Mon-
day, July 27th. A trip to Red Oaks Water Park, “Rumpelstiltskin”
at the Marquis Theater, as well as a special performance from
Paula Doak highlight this session.
It is unfortunate that often we find the problem of bullying within
our schools. Pre-schoolers complaints of being picked on are
sometimes dismissed by parents with the response of “just ignore
it.” According to Parent & Child magazine, findings suggest
we really should listen more carefully. They showed that 1 in
10 children between the ages of four and six have been bullied.
Preschool bullying often includes kicking, fighting, punching
and shoving. By the age of three, we need to start teaching our
children how to respond to bullying so that they will not be a vic-
tim. Teach children to use phrases like “I’m mad,” or “I’m sad.”
Encourage assertiveness in your children; don’t speak for them.
Also teach them to look their friends in the eye when they speak.
We want all of our children to feel secure and confident.
School begins on Tuesday, September 8th, with regular classes in
session, including extended care. If you have not yet enrolled for
fall please do so as soon as possible to accommodate the schedule
of your choice.
Our infant program is open year round and will remain open the
last week in August to meet the needs of our working families.
Please call the Nursery office for information on all of our pro-
grams. We look forward to welcoming many of our infants into
our Toddler Room at the Temple.
Enjoy the rest of this beautiful summer!

Here are some of the highlights of
the 2008-09 school year. Apologies
for those fine educational experiences
I don’t have room to include. The
Hanukah Happening Holiday Extrava-
ganza introducing the M.A.C.A.B.E.E.
Awards (Music And Culture Bolster-
ing Educational Excellence), featured
Geoff Berdy talented students k-12. The Machon
(4th, 5th, 6th, 7th grade) family Mezu-
zah project, The D’or to D’or (Generation to Generation)
trips to Evergreen and the Heritage Senior Living Centers
by second, fourth and fifth grades. Also: the first grade’s
project that donated scores of books to a Detroit school
without a library, and their trip to Yad Ezra. $200 was
raised by Lynn Cooper’s fifth grade for Social Action’s
Brovary project, Kindergarten had a great time at Shalom
Street’s Matzah Factory, each 3rd grader made a real shofar
and Havdallah candles, the sixth grade participated in the
Artist in the School’s project with Mary Gilhuly creat-
ing mosaic mirrors on display at the “Picture Yourself In
Israel” dinner, which also included art work from kinder-
garten through seventh grade. At Monday night school:
the Leadership Institute for Teens dinner speaker series
and mini-conference in Ann Arbor, celebration of Jewish
involvement in Civil Rights in honor of Martin Luther
King Day, the introduction of Teens for Tikkun social ac-
tion group and the Confirmation class trip to New York.
Collaborations with the Early Childcare Center in-
cluded hosting Time for Tots at the Purim Carnival and the
addition of several holiday programs. New for tots through
the Young Family Chavurah (formerly Young Family
Shabbat) was the “Fam-Jam” music program in November.
Temple Emanu-El Religious School participated in the
Congregational School Initiative sponsored by the
Federation’s Alliance for Jewish Education, which evalu-
ated our programs, conducted parent and teacher surveys,
interviewed parents, students and staff and issued a report
helping us focus our efforts on achieving educational
excellence.
The Parent Teacher Organization continued as a small
but dedicated group led by Linda Tikey. As usual, they did
a wonderful job with the Purim carnival. They also hosted
a parent talk based on the book “Blessings of a Skinned
Knee” and helped with the Parent Appreciation Brunch.
Plans are under way to recruit fresh faces to the PTO.
Youth Group highlights: Thanks to a generous donation
from Richard and Julie Zussman in honor of their chil-
dren, Temple Emanu El has a new “Teen Lounge” which
TEMTY (high school youth group) is currently working on

D i r ec t o r
furnishing. Highlights for No’ar (4th and 5th
grade) and JETS (6th, 7th, 8th grades) included
a Sukkah party and a trip to Joe Dumar’s
Field House. The most well attended event
was Whirlyball with fifteen participants.
TEMTY continued to have strong representa-
tion at regional Kallot (conventions). High-
lights for the year were bowling, the over-
night “Shul-In” and the TEMTY Shabbat
Service. We are particularly proud of Emily
Zussman who will serve as regional president
next year and Jamie Bean who will serve as
Vice President for Membership. Sarah Rich-
ard will be TEMTY president 2009-10. Matt
Zerwekh served as Youth Advisor this year
(we wish him well in Rabbinical School), the
new Youth Advisor is Caitlin Klaper.

f r o m t he e x ec u t i v e d i r ec t o r
[from my report at the Annual Congre-
gational Meeting] Fiscal year 2008-09
was a difficult one for our Temple, our
members and for most of the world. Yet,
it was also incredibly rewarding, for
despite the financial challenges, the lay
leaders, staff and members accomplished
a tremendous amount on many fronts. In
times like these living up to our mission
Susan J. Kirschner is more important than ever and we are
creatively and compassionately provid-
ing the services that make this a sustaining community.
The yearly changes in lay leadership keep us in touch with our
members’ changing needs/desires/priorities. But it is always
poignant to say goodbye and thank you to those who have
supported and led us in so many initiatives. Dolores Galea will
be Immediate Past President, but my thanks to her for her two
years as president, during which she accomplished so much
and dealt successfully with so many challenges. Aron Komi-
nars will stay on the board but is stepping down as Adminis-
trative Vice President after coping creatively with the endless
needs and occasional surprises our [gracefully] aging building
presents. Michael Benghiat lent us his knowledge as a dedi-
cated Financial Vice President and Elissa Driker-Ohren chan-
neled her energy and dedication to a thorough examination of
Board and staff roles. Sheldon Klein has provided support and
solutions as Financial Vice President, President and Immedi-
ate Past President and website maven. It was an honor to work
with them, as well as with Pat Chomet, Glenn Lapin, Rena
Friedberg and the members of our Board of Trustees, who put
in countless hours on behalf of Temple. Steve Permut is ready
to take on the presidency and I look forward to working with
him and the new and returning lay leaders.
Reminder about your
July Temple billing

or below-standard dues in the year ending 6/30/2009

Please contact Susan Kirschner if you have

If you are facing difficult times contact Dolores Galea,
Susan Kirschner or Treasurer Fred Frank to discuss,
in absolute privacy, your specific concerns and needs.
Thank you!

Congratulations to the Winners of the Free Dues Raffle:
Melissa and Kevin Litvin
Thanks to the efforts of Rabbi Klein, Cantor Sharlein, Eileen
Brand and Geoff Berdy I am always confident in the high
quality of our programs and services. I am honored to be part
of this cohesive, competent and creative team.
We rely so heavily on our support staff. Many a time I might
have toppled had they not been there with sleeves rolled up
and smiles on their faces. A standing “O” to Abby, Faye, Pat,
Charles, Anatoly, Slava and William. A grateful farewell to
Rhonda and a warm greeting to Beth Reider who joins us as
part-time education assistant.
And, oh, our volunteers. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. The
efforts of every member who comes in and plans an event,
puts labels on our bulletin, bakes for an oneg - I celebrate
you.
I spend a lot of time on thank yous and kudos because I truly
am in awe of what we accomplish by combining our talents,
dedication and time. We are a service organization and it is
people power that enables us to offer those services.
Remarks by Dolores, Rabbi and the Cantor and reports by the
Vice Presidents and other senior staff covered the high points
of this past year. Significant improvements to our build-
ing and grounds that were accomplished on incredibly slim
budgets thanks in great part to the efforts of Judy Green-
wald. Tina Bonner and her daughter, Meagan and the garden
chavurah kept our grounds a delight to behold.
Steve Permut discussed the budget. In recognition of the
difficult financial times we found a way to not increase dues
or tuition rates in 2009-10, but we ask those who are able to
make a voluntary donation to allow us to help those who need
dues relief. There wasn’t much fat to cut when we realized we
could not take Lech Lecha income into our operating budget
in 2009-10 and decided not to raise rates. Since, as with most
service organizations, a little over 75% of our budget is com-
posed of expenses related to personnel, we were forced to cut
staff and maintenance hours in administration, education and
the ECC. Salaries were frozen. Health insurance deductibles
and employee contributions were raised.
As I look to next year and beyond, I keep thinking of the lyr-
ics to an old camp song: “Make new friends, but keep the old
/ One is silver and the other gold.” We are in times of great
upheaval and our ability to respond wisely and in a timely
manner to change will be crucial. Our old friends are vital
to our continuity—they are our “living treasures.” Our new
friends keep us in touch with the changes in the community
around us and enable growth. The energy and commitment of
both will enable us to thrive.

Hebrew Free Loan, metro Detroit’s oldest Jewish agency, is looking to help our neighbors. With the
deteriorating economic climate, many individuals and families who never thought that they would need financial
assistance are looking for help. These are our friends and family who live in the state of Michigan. And now their
needs are greater than ever. Hebrew Free Loan can help by providing interest-free loans for a wide range of needs,
including living expenses, job re-training, tuition assistance, summer camp programs, medical and dental expenses,
small business start-up costs, and much more.
To be eligible for an interest-free loan, the applicant must be Jewish, a Michigan resident of legal age and have the financial ability to make
monthly payments. The application process includes a phone interview, a personal interview and the signature of two co-signers. Once the
paperwork is complete, a credit report is obtained on the co-signers, a promissory note is signed and a check quickly issued.
For more information on Hebrew Free Loan’s services, call our office at 248.723.8184 or visit our Web site at www.hfldetroit.org.
