Delivering Winter Warmth:
Jill Stone Elementary School
Temple received word in November from our
friends in the Vickery Meadow community that
30 children at Jill Stone Elementary School
did not have coats. At the direction of the
Social Justice Council, funds were provided to
buy the children new coats in all sizes. They
were delivered to the school’s new principal, a
grateful Selena Deboskie.
The mitzvah then multiplied. Women of
Reform Judaism organized teacher gifts of
various teas, honey, biscotti and other items
that they use every day. Gluten-free treats were
also included so that everyone could enjoy the
gifts.
“It was a real joy to give back to teachers who
have had to manage an unprecedented school
year,” said Rachel Newburn, co-president of
WRJ and happy deliverer of the gifts.

Mitzvah Meals Reimagined
by Brotherhood
Every year for many years, a stalwart group of
Brotherhood chefs has met in predawn hours
one Sunday a month to cook a month’s worth
of meals for local organizations. This year, with
Temple closed, Brotherhood instead allocated
funds reserved for those meals to go directly as
cash donations to the agencies to help combat
the effects of COVID-19.
The agencies that received funds were Bryan’s
House, CHAI Dallas, Jewish Family Service,
Jonathan’s Place, North Dallas Shared
Ministries and North Texas Food Bank.
“The Board took this action to allocate these
funds based upon the fact that Judaism gives
us all a vital set of values, a deep sense of
community and a powerful pride that comes
with being part of an extraordinary and
ancient people,” said Brotherhood President
Ivan Edelman.

Women on the Chocolate Trail
Rabbi Deborah Prinz, author of the book “On the Chocolate Trail,” will combine the enjoyment of
chocolate with an exploration of women’s roles in the ancient Jewish trade and marketing of chocolate.
The event, sponsored by WRJ, will be held at 7pm on Feb. 9 on Zoom.
Rabbi Prinz’s book, published in 2017, examines the role of religion in the chocolate trade since it
was first introduced in Europe. It is also the subject of a traveling museum exhibit. Rabbi Prinz also
co-authored another book, “The Boston Chocolate Party,” coming in October.

TEMPLE EMANU-EL ANNUAL FUND
Spotlight on
Dr. Zeck Lieberman
The Annual Fund is the highest fundraising priority of Temple.
The funds raised help make Temple the vibrant place that it is,
and provide resources for unwavering help and support for
you and your loved ones. As Temple looks ahead to its 150th
anniversary, we take time to share stories with you of today’s
Annual Fund leaders who are helping to assure a strong
tomorrow.
Dr. Zeck Lieberman, 92, retired oncology surgeon, co-chair,
90s & 100s cohort
You “grew up” in a sense with the current
Temple building:
We came to Dallas in 1957; that’s the first thing I did, join the
temple, and I’ve been here ever since.
What are some activities you’ve been involved in
recently?
Wise Aging, Yoga Emanu-El
Why does the synagogue matter to you?
The Jewish religion has been a key part of my life. I’m crazy
about the teachings. Rabbi Stern has done an outstanding job
as well as the other rabbis and cantors. They are marvelous
examples of what we stand for. I definitely support everything
that’s going on at Temple and think it’s a wonderful institution.
Why did you say “yes” to supporting the
Annual Fund? Please join our Temple family in generously supporting
The Annual Fund, Temple’s most important annual fundraising
It takes a lot of money to run the functions of Temple. Giving to
initiative. Let’s continue Creating Possibilities Together today.
the Annual Fund allows us to support its activities. People who
are able to give should give, and people who are not able to
give don’t have to give, and they can still be supported. Contribute today at tedallas.org/annualfund
