Sukkot
T he festival of Sukkot is one of my
favorite holidays. There’s something
special about creating a space that is
both inside and
outside, secure and
yet fragile. And this
year, given that Sukkot falls in mid-
October (the first night is Sunday,
October 13), we Arizonans have more
of a chance of a little cool evening
weather as we sit in our sukkahs! I’ve
been in my share of sukkahs over the
years—from my uncle’s backyard
creations, my parents’ best friends’
extension of their porch roof with
palm fronds, a tiny DIY plastic sukkah
on the third floor balcony of my
apartment in Jerusalem, the gorgeous
and expansive sukkah we build in our
Solel courtyard every year, and, once,
the skies over a Sedona vortex! How
nice to have the chance to be with
family and friends and enjoy company
and a meal outdoors. I hope you’ll join
us for our community-wide Sukkot
Under the Stars on Wednesday,
October 16 at 5:30 pm.
But more than just the lovely
experience of an evening under the
paper chains and palm fronds of a
sukkah, I love the themes of Sukkot, the
way they encourage us to carry the
themes of the High Holidays forward
into our daily lives.
Sukkot reminds us: life is fragile,
unpredictable, and precious. From
reading the words of the book of
THE MISSION OF TEMPLE SOLEL IS TO BE A VIBRANT, INCLUSIVE AND
ENGAGED REFORM COMMUNITY, GROUNDED IN RELATIONSHIPS AND DEEDS,
AND ELEVATED BY SHABBAT AND TORAH.
Ecclesiastes, to sitting exposed to the elements in three-
walled huts, we are called on Sukkot to celebrate in spite
of life’s fragility. A sukkah that is too steady, too
permanent, is not a true sukkah. A
roof too solid, too secure, keeps us
from seeing the beauty of the night
sky. We experience the world’s
beauty not because of our solid walls
and barriers and certainties, but
because of our ephemerality, our
imperfections.
Sukkot also reminds us: it is a
mitzvah, a sacred obligation, to
welcome guests into our huts and our
homes. The tradition of Ushpizin,
welcoming guests, inspires us to
extend the openness of our sukkah’s
walls through open hands and hearts to
others. Our tradition even believes that
we can invite as guests the souls of the
departed—beloved parents,
grandparents, inspiring figures from
history, our matriarchs and patriarchs.
No matter how fragile we feel, we still
have the capacity to reach out and give.
May this Sukkot bring celebration
amidst life’s fragility, sweet time with
guests, family, and friends, and the
inspiration to continue giving of our
selves no matter how much space or
security we have: from a tiny plastic
balcony sukkah to a Sedona sky.

Self-Reflection
T he time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur is a time of self-reflection. Self-
reflection helps children develop skills to
choose rather than just doing things the way
they have always been done. It is about
questioning why and what they do. Self-
reflection increases their ability to recognize feelings and
understand how they relate to behavior.
There are easy ways to help children learn these skills.
 Show children what feelings look like with facial
expressions or pictures of different emotions.
 Talk with them about when they feel these different
feelings and have them make faces for each of the
emotions you talk about. Instead of labeling the
emotion, (i.e., “you look sad, mad, etc.) say “I notice
your arms are folded and your face is scrunched. Tell
me how you are feeling.”
 Children can learn to connect their body language to
an emotion. Not having the ability to identify their
emotion can frustrate a child and lead to crying,
temper tantrums and sometimes physical aggression.
 Use descriptive language to name a behavior the child
is doing, and model that behavior yourself. For
instance, “I see Susie is ready to leave since she put
her toy away. I will put my book away so we can
leave.”
 Provide positive reinforcement for expected
behaviors. This will encourage your child and other
children to do the same. “I like how you pushed in
your chair!”
Self-reflection is for everyone! It’s a time to get to know
yourself better and to accept yourself. It’s not a time to
explore the idea of being perfect. During this period of
reflection, we set goals to “hit the mark” or the center of
our target. Take some time to evaluate if you’ve missed
the mark since the beginning of the year and set intentions
for the remainder of the year. Use the preschool model of
“Always try to do your best!”

We will meet on Tuesday, October 29, 2019 at 6:00 pm for
a dairy/pareve (non-meat, fish okay) potluck. Bring what
you enjoy eating!
At 6:30 pm we will talk about The Oracle of Stamboul, a
novel that traces the adventures of a young Jewish girl
living under the Ottoman Turks. She is a savant who
surprises nearly everyone, including the sultan of the
fading empire. Read The Oracle of Stamboul for its
delicious prose and a taste of magical realism, too.
We are a friendly group, with moderators who encourage
participation. I will lead the October discussion and will
welcome volunteers to lead later discussions. The
remaining book selections will be:
December 17, 2019: One Night, Markovitch by Ayelet
Gundar-Goshen

Happy reading and a sweet New Year to all, Solel’s first presidents, and her long-time artist friend, Beth
Ames Swartz, will make comments about her work and her
Judy Schaffert contribution to art in the Valley. Many old friends from
Sagewood, where the Scults live, will be attending.
Refreshments will be served.
Arlene has been preeminent in the Valley’s professional
art community since the early 70s. From 1977 to 1994, she
ran an art consulting firm that assisted corporate and
professional clients around the country in obtaining art for
their working environments. Then in the mid-nineties, she
returned to being a working artist. In 2013, Arlene and her
husband established an endowment at the Phoenix Art
Museum to award a grant each year of $5000 to a working
artist to assist the artist in furthering their career.
Her work is included in many private collections around
the country and in Europe, and she has been featured in
the Tucson Museum of Art, the Phoenix Art Museum, the
Downey Museum of Art (CA), Joslyn Museum (Omaha), the
Jewish Community Center, the Paidea Gallery (LA) and the
Limner Gallery (Scottsdale). Her pieces are for sale by
contacting Mort Scult at 602-571-0044. All sales proceeds
will be donated to Temple Solel and the Alzheimer’s
Association.

Temple Solel Endowment Foundation
Securing Our Future | Volume 2, Issue 3
What Will Solel Offer and Look Like
in 2025 and 2030?
These are the questions that the Endowment Foundation
seeks to address so Temple Solel becomes an even more
remarkable place in the years ahead than it already is
today. Ten years ago, our Fund had an approximate value
of just $50,000. In 2013 a serious effort began to raise
congregational awareness of the importance of a
meaningful endowment. Thanks to the leadership of Dick
Lamden and Nelson Lerner, the Endowment Fund is now
valued at $1.3 million. Our objective is to support growth
of programs that our incredible clergy, staff and Board
feels are appropriate for the future Solel.
For at least the past decade I’ve been an active member
on the Budget Committee. The focus obviously is keeping
Solel's expenses in equilibrium with our estimated annual
revenue. In other words, the goal is to simply break even
(it’s actually not so simple). The Endowment Fund is to
facilitate Solel’s growth. We listen to what existing
programs the congregation and clergy feel Solel should
expand or to newly adopt, then we help fund those
programs.
Solel will clearly look different in 2025 and 2030. We
cannot fail in improving our physical facility, expanding our
community outreach and adult education, teaching
Judaism to our children and grandkids and offering
programming that best meets the needs of all
congregants. Let’s also cherish the easy accessibility of
Rabbis Emily and John.
This is a very personal issue for me now, experiencing the
support of clergy during periods of family sorrow and the
exhilaration our clergy brings during periods of joy, i.e.,
weddings, bar mitzvahs, confirmation, etc. I’ve been
helped through those life cycles at least 5 times in the past
decade.
You can help assure the quality of Solel’s future services by
considering legacy gifting in your estate planning, as I’ve
done. Other possibilities would be outright monetary
grants, donating highly­appreciated securities or by
various other means that your CPA or attorney advise is
tax-advantaged and appropriate for your situation.
Not every family, of course, is in a position to make an
endowment gift currently. However, if you are, be assured
that your gift will brighten our future and reward you with
significant spiritual dividends. Let’s keep Solel as a pretty
special place in our community. Thanks in advance for
your consideration of the Endowment Fund now and in the
future.

Board Member, Temple Solel Endowment Foundation

As centuries passed, Judaism became more developed.
Our ancestors built a resplendent Temple in Jerusalem to
worship the divine. They also compiled key legends into a
written text called the “Torah.” Nonetheless, they never
lost sight of their original love for intimate, personal
storytelling.
In fact, when the Talmudic era arose, rabbinic sages
reestablished our religion as a process of dynamic
discussion. They achieved this by adding a question mark
to every phrase in the Torah. For example, the first phrase
reads: “B’resheit – in the beginning” (Genesis 1:1). But the
rabbis read: “In the beginning? Nu? What does that mean?
What exactly began? Did anything exist prior to this so-
called beginning?”
