We are honored that Chancellor-Elect Eisen has chosen Temple Beth Sholom as one of his first speaking engagements in his new position. Rabbi Felipe Goodman Why a New To rah? Torat Hayim... Building community... One person at a time! Rabbi Felipe Goodman Temple Beth Sholom has been an integral part of The Las Vegas Jewish Community for over sixty years. Throughout that time our Temple has been not only a Synagogue but a center of Jewish Life. Temple Beth Sholom has been and will continue to be a space where the ideals of God, Torah and Israel are ever-present and ever living. One of the leading conservative congregations of the Conservative Movement on the West Coast, our Temple re-invents itself constantly, inspired by the long journey of its past, it charts the route for the next generations to follow into the future. Torat Hayim, The Torah Of Life is a perfect homonym for our congregation, a place in which every single part is connected to the other. Temple Beth Sholom is a place where every member feels part of our common past and is an instrumental element of our future. Our educational programs are designed to imbue not only the knowledge of our tradition, but to instill a powerful sense of wonder and of belonging. Our Early Childhood Center, with its unique approach of blending Judaic and Hebrew instruction with academics, is the cornerstone of our educational experience. Our Religious School, which was recognized with The Framework ofExcellency of T h e United November 2006- Heshvan-Kislev 5767 Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, is one of our greatest accomplishments. Our Solomon Schechter Day School is fast becoming one of the best schools within our city both because of the quality of its secular study program and the incredible nature of our Hebrew and Judaic department. Torat Hayim, The Torah Of Life represents our desire to continue to grow, develop and inspire. Our programs are among the most unique in our community. Edor V'dor, a program designed for homebound seniors which brings together over three hundred people is a perfect example of a bridge between the generations. Hundreds of volunteers participate in the planning and implementation of Edor V'dor. Hundreds of our children interact with our seniors in this unique framework that provides a wonderful opportunity to see the Mitzvot come to life. Torat Hayim, The Torah Of Life inspires us to think about our relationship with God and with our People. Through its religious services Temple Beth Sholom reaches and touches hundreds of people every week. Whether one enjoys the spirituality of the music of Shabbat on Friday night or the powerful voice of tradition on a Saturday morning, whether one attends occasionally or regularly in the only non-orthodox daily Minyan in Nevada, it is important to recognize that Temple Beth Sholom embodies the example of a true living and breathing congregation. One person at a time, there is a place for everyone under our dome! One person at a time, we strive to understand what makes us unique as Jews and what will empower us to remain Jewish for the next two thousand years. One person at a time, we seek to smile together at the joy that life brings and one person at a time, we understand that we must comfort each other when life requires us to do so. Become a part of Torat Hayim! Write your own story in the Torah of Life! Through your involvement we will assure not only that our future generations continue to read from the Torah but we will also make sure that each and every single one of us is represented by one of the letters in that Torah. Letters that spell the dreams of our people, letters that speak of the hope of our parents, letters that tell the story of who we are and who we still must yet become. Join us for an incredibly powerful and moving experience. On November 5, 2006 at 11:00 AM, we will be dedicating Torat Hayim, "The Torah of Life" two years in the making, the first Torah to be written specifically with the participation of our children and membership in over 30 years. This Torah is more than just a Torah in our ark, it has your handwriting in it. Be a part of it! President^ E x e c u t j v e Director Beth Sholom Bulletin High Holy Days Reflections and Thank You This year's High Holy Days were a spiritual and organizational high. Many of the minor challenges from prior years were addressed by our H H D Committee, which hopefully provided a better experience for our congregants. While there were many significant moments during this season, we would like to reflect on two. Rabbi Goodman made a non-traditional appeal for our new capital campaign to build the Abbie and David Friedman Multi-Generational Pavilion as part of his Kol Nidre sermon. He referred to the book, Synagogues Without Jews and made a plea to every one of us to look inside ourselves and see what we could do to participate in this campaign, to support a facility which will house programs for Jews of all ages, ensuring the future of our Jewish community. While we will be calling many, if not all, of you personally to participate in this campaign, we encourage you to preempt this call by calling Laura's office to let me know you are interested in finding out more about how you can help. We are approximately half way to our goal and with the support of the majority of our congregants, we will reach our goal in the coming months. The Neilah service on the evening of October 2 brought to a close our 5767 High Holy Days services. Together with over 1,000 of our congregants, we prayed, watched the sun set on our beautiful dome and then saw hundreds of children carry florescent light sticks onto the bima for our Havdallah service. Words cannot describe what a moving experience this was, one that concluded a very spiritual and uplifting High Holy Days. A very special thank you is extended to all of the clergy, staff, High Holy Days Committee members and volunteers who helped with this year's High Holy Days experience. Thank you also to Women's League who provided the congregation with very welcome wine, juice, cake and challah to break our fast on Yom Kippur and to Men's Club for enhancing our Sukkah with new schach. With the start of the year 5767, we look forward to seeing more and more of you at Temple Beth Sholom on a regular basis; enjoying Shabbat services, learning in an Adult Education program, participating on a committee or experiencing one of the other many activities we host. May this year bring you great health, happiness and peace! Kol Nidre Thank You! Thank you to all of the Temple Beth Sholom congregants who responded to this year's New Kol Nidre campaign. While we fell short of our goal of 75% of our congregants participating, we did increase significandy from 26% to 51%, double our prior participation! Below are the names of those who participated after the printing of the Kol Nidre Book.

Contact the Religious Jon Mitzmacher Solomon Schechter Day School The Solomon Schechter Day School of Las Vegas really enjoyed preparing for and celebrating this season's joyous holidays. Each department of the school was involved in creative activities during the festive times. Temple Beth Sholom's Rabbi Felipe Goodman, visited the school to blow shofar. Noted community leader and educator, Dee Ober, visited school and helped the Second and Third Grade Classes decorate the sukkah. The General Studies Teachers were in the holiday spirit as well using apples for everything from counting to measuring to weighing. This is the sort of curricular integration that makesSolomon Schechter so unique and special. October brought two other exciting events to the SSDS-LV. On Monday, October 16th, well-known Jewish singer-songwriter Cindy Paley and storyteller Eva Greizel visited Schechter for a special assembly.

The Judy and Ronald Mack School of Religious Studies What a crazy month we just had with all the school closures! However, despite the fact that we barely had any Sundays this month, October did bring us our second annual "Pizza in the Hut" on Wednesday, October 11th. The turnout was great as we celebrated Sukkot by gathering together as a school in our beautiful sukkah for a festive luncheon. It was an event not to be missed! Also, the school was proud to unveil its brand new Junior Congregation Program! The clergy and professional staff is so pleased to be able to offer this Education Beth Sholom Bulletin local petting zoo.

Early Childhood Education Jennifer Zukowski luesday, September 26, the Sandra and Stanley Mallin Early Childhood Center welcomed its families for a hands-on night of learning during its annual Back to School Night. The evening began in the beautiful I sanctuary at Temple Beth Sholom, where Rabbi Goodman and Early Childhood Director, Jennifer Zukowski, greeted parents and introduced the amazing staff of TBS's Preschool. After a heartfelt and touching welcome, the parents were invited back to the classrooms where they became "children" once again. What better way to experience the fabulous curriculum that TBS has to offer, than to actually live it! The teachers led the parents through a "typical day", allowing them to see and experience all of the wonderful activities their child engages in while in the classroom. Parents excitedly went from center to c e n t e r Education November 2006- Heshvan-Kislev 5767 immersing themselves in the many activities available by building block structures, tracing letters, playing with the calendar at circle time, and more, all while hearing about the many skills their child acquires while involved in each activity. As a special memory from each child, the classes presented their parents with a unique portfolio created especially for them. Early in the month of N o v e m b e r , a select group of our Preschool staff will have the o p p o r t u n i t y to travel to Atlanta to participate in an outstanding Early Childhood Conference sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

Temple News Beth Sholom Bulletin Men's Club News Marlowe Mogill Let our thoughts and prayers continue for our people in Israel. May they know no more tzoris. Many, many thanks and kudos to the Clergy and to the entire Staff and Volunteers of TBS for making services for 5767 one of the best yet. Much positive energy! Super fantastic job. When you were in the Succah - did you look up and see that "fancy roof" (a/k/a schach). Thank You, members of the Mens Club. On the 1st Fridays of the month, note (no pun intended), how sharp the Ruach Ensemble and the Clergy look. Thanks, members of the Men's Club. As in the past, the Men's Club is sponsoring a Softball team being led by its legendary General Manager, All Star and Hall of Famer, Jeff Michelman. To the younger guys, if you want to participate in this historical confederation, please contact Jeff through the temple at 804-1333. Talent is not a prerequisite, but it helps.

I am now assembling a list of those folks who can act as volunteer hosts in their homes or other venues for Thanksgiving Dinner for our Jewish Military stationed at Nellis AFB. If you can help out, (and I know you can), please email me as to how many you can host. There might be some kids, so keep this in mind when replying. My email is: mbmogill@cox.net. This is a big mitzvah guys. We will need at least 10 sites. Let me know ASAP - by email. A Note To Previous Members: To those of 6 you who have been members of the Men's Club at TBS, and for whatever reason, decided to "terminate" your association, I'm asking that you, at least, come to the Nov. 15th meeting at 6:30 PM. Dinner will be served. Things have changed. If you have a gripe, (notice the diplomacy here), air it out. WThy not? We'll listen. Won't you give us a chance? Remember, it's a New Year. You can help make good things happen. By overwhelming popular requests, I'm planning a repeat of a "hearty meal" for 11/15. No - it's not turkey. It's a real meichel! Just a reminder: Committee reports are limited to a total of 4 minutes. Fressing has no time limits. See you on Nov. 15th at 6:30. (Please, a donation of $5.00 to help defray food costs would be appreciated.) Women's League Kim Memar With a myriad of Jewish holidays behind us; we find ourselves getting ready for the American holiday of Thanksgiving. This is a kind of hard time for me as my mom passed away just before Thanksgiving in 1986. Each year since, the holiday has had new meaning for me. The first year I remember my sister's in-laws taking us all into their home and trying to share the holiday spirit with a bunch of very distraught people. We weren't sure if we would ever want to "celebrate" the holiday again. The next year was the first time I made Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone looked to me to prepare the dinner. Without me there would be no Thanksgiving! I was the oldest and therefore it became my responsibility. My dad was no help in the kitchen either. It was quite a challenge trying to make everything ready at the same time. When we all sat down together though, it all seemed to work out. We had somehow started a new family tradition. Losing my mom at such an early age and then losing my dad also has taught me the value of life, family, and traditions. The circle of life goes on; family members come and go yet our traditions remain strong. Our traditions define who we are and teach our children who they are and where they came from. It is really so very important for them and provides our children a "connection" to their grandparents and other relatives; even though they may no longer be with us or live in distant places. I hope this Thanksgiving you will take the time to reflect on what you are truly grateful for in your life. I know for me it is my family, my friends, and my faith. Without any one of these I would have a feeling that a part of me was missing and I would not be the person I am today. I am also grateful to all the members (too many to list) who have worked so very hard and have been so supportive of our Women's League by attending meetings, helping plan functions, working or buying in the Judaica Shop, contributing to the newsletter, etc. It means so much to me as President to see so many people actively involved. In conclusion I am looking forward with great excitement and enthusiasm to my first Women's League Convention next month in Philadelphia. Marci Seltzer and Blanche Meisel who is our Eishet Hayil award recipient will also be attending. I cannot wait to share our experiences next month with you. Our Sex Ed night is scheduled for November 16th at 6:30 at Sharon Adashek's home. This event fills up fast so get your check in to liana. It was wonderful to see everyone at our general meeting on 10/10/06. Rabbi Goodman was inspiring and educational as always and the food and company were B'nai Mitzvah fantastic. Looking forward to seeing you soon and if you want to help with the Hannukah Bazaar on Sunday 12/3 or know of any vendors-call me at 429-0888. I would appreciate the help!!
