As we enter into the month of March, typically I’m thinking ahead to the holiday of
Passover and all the preparation needed to get ready for the seder meal; cleaning
out the chametz, organizing my music and choosing a Haggadah. However, this year
is a little bit different. Instead of preparing for a seder, my husband, Steve, and I are
preparing to welcome our little girl in mid-March.
For us that means we’re packing the hospital bags, installing the car seat, washing the
baby clothes, making sure we have enough diapers and putting the final touches on
the nursery. In addition, I’m making sure that all of my cantorial, pastoral and teaching
obligations are being met while I’m away on my maternity leave. I’m so grateful to my
clergy partners, Rabbi Miller and Rabbi Boxman, as well as the the lay leaders who
will be taking over my responsibilities while I’m away and taking the much-needed
time to bond with my baby and adjust to being a mom.
Thank you all for understanding that I won’t be available for a short time. I look
forward to introducing you all to baby Azu very soon!

Preschool is going to be transformed into a summer festival of fun and

At Camp Shalom, our campers will have the opportunity to immerse
themselves in weekly themes, splash in our water park, tumble, dance,
bake and get messy with crafts!
Camp Shalom runs for seven weeks and is specifically targeted to
chil¬dren ages 1-5. This year we are also planning to bring back Camp
Einstein, our summer program for children in grades Kindergarten - 2nd
grade. Returning campers and new participants all look forward to a wide

arts and crafts, STEAM activities, shopping in our little market (Markolit),
cooking, performing arts, foreign language, science and music, all while
exercising their creativity, imagination, talent and funny bones.
From animal encounters to Preschool Olympics, our campers are going to
not only be kept busy this summer, but they are going to have the time of
their lives! If you are looking for a fabulous experience for your child this
summer, contact the Temple Shalom Preschool office at 239-455-3227.

President
Daryl Sissman
As my term as president nears the end, I would like to thank Don Shapiro and Yale Freeman for
approaching me about becoming president one day, many years ago. I would not say this has
been an easy role to play at Temple, but I it has been rewarding. I am so lucky to have been able
to work with a wonderful clergy term and staff. Working together as a team, our three-legged
stool was strong and stable. While the COVID pandemic certainly caused much disruption, and
changed many of our carefully laid plans, we have still been able to accomplish much, while
doing our best to keep our congregation safe and healthy.
I am proud to say that the Solot Leadership development class is getting started. Thank you
to Larry Israelite and Deborah Fidel for making this happen. I am also grateful to Eric Meyers
and Abbie Sladick for reviving the mentoring program for new leaders. I was a mentee in that
program, run by Dave Rutstein in 2015. Five years later, I was elected President! I look forward
to seeing the fruits of their labor, as new people step forward to lead us to even greater heights.
Our Governance Committee revamped the Bylaws and worked on our policies last year. This
is work that will continue as our congregation grows and our needs evolve. Our leadership is
constantly learning and striving to find new and better ways to serve the congregation and
fortify our spiritual home.
One of the most important goals I set for myself as president was to create a succession plan.
As I wrote in my last Voice article, Len Teitelbaum, a long-time member, was invited to join the
Executive Committee. I am delighted to announce that Len has agreed to stand for election
to be the next president of Temple Shalom. His management experience and his Jewish and
financial knowledge will serve him well in this role. We are very lucky that he has agreed
to serve. When I step down from any leadership position, my goal has always been to find
someone to follow me, who will build on my accomplishments and set new and ambitious goals.
I know that Len is that person.
I am delighted that the 2020 Strategic Plan will continue to be implemented under Len’s
leadership. I know that Len is committed to finding new ways to bring “One Family, Many
Connections” to life. Len has been a member at Temple for many years, but if you haven’t met
him yet, please introduce yourself when you see him. Thank you.

Many people initially come to synagogue life to provide their children
with a Jewish education or to prepare them for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
When children grow up and leave the home, many adults find
themselves re-examining the role that a synagogue can play in their
lives. Temple Shalom can still be an important part of your life at any
age.
The Temple Shalom Empty Nesters is being created to share the
warmth of belonging to an extended family and to celebrate Jewish life
within a large community. Our Empty Nesters group will be responsible
for developing, arranging, conducting and coordinating social programs,
events and meetings for people between the ages of 45 and 65, with or
without children at home. Activities could be game nights, dinners,
group participation in Temple Shalom’s social events, potlucks – bring
your ideas!
If you want to get out, make new friends and learn new things, we want
to hear from you. Contact Deborah Fidel at dfidel@naplestemple.org.ISRAEL CORNER
by Andy Karpman
Ein Gedi, literally “spring of the kid” is an oasis and a nature reserve in
Israel, located west of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, some 400
m. below sea level, and is near Masada and the Qumran Caves. Ein Gedi
was listed in 2016 as one of the most popular nature sites in the country.
The site attracts about one million visitors a year.
Extreme heat and aridity prevail in this desert region throughout most of
the year. But perennial fresh water springs (Ein is Hebrew for spring) flow
down from the high cliffs of the Judean Desert and have made permanent
settlement and agriculture possible since ancient times.
Ein Gedi is mentioned in many historical sources and the abundant finds
from archeological excavations which have been conducted since the
1960s make it possible to trace the long history of this unique place.
Ein Gedi is notable not only for its breathtaking natural beauty but also for the natural
habitation of wildlife. As seen in the Nature and Parks Authority symbol for Ein Gedi, the
Nubian Ibed is known to live in the park. In fact, Ein Gedi houses one of the largest herds of
Ibex in all of Israel. Besides the Ibex, Ein Gedi is known to house wolves, foxes and bats along
with many birds of prey. As you walk throughout Ein Gedi Nature Reserve you will be sure to
see some of the wildlife flourishing in the area.
Ein Gedi is a favorite place for tourists and Israelis to visit in Israel, especially during the warm
and hot months, where you can relax away from the desert heat and cool off in the springs
near David’s waterfall.

Bereavement Group for Members of the Temple Shalom Community
In the spirit of our tradition, which calls us to perform the mitzvah of Nihum Avelim (comforting mourners),
Temple Shalom offers a Bereavement Support Group via Zoom for people who are grieving for a loved one.
Please contact Arline Kaplan (arkaplanphd@gmail.com) or Leslie Wasserman (leshbr@aol.com) for more
information. 31For many generations, Jews have made it a custom to remember their loved ones and sanctify their joyous events with a charitable donation. At Temple Shalom, there are several ways for us to remember or honor a loved one and give thanks for milestone events in our lives. Please consider a yahrzeit plaque, Tribute Garden paver, leaf on the Tree of Life, or dedicating a Torah portion in the Illustrated Torah as a permanent remembrance. Your generosity will contribute to the future of Temple Shalom. Scan the QR codes below with the camera on your cellphone to go directly to an order form, or call the Temple Shalom office for assistance. 32

Tikkun Olam Volunteers Chair

In Isaiah 58:7, God commands us to “share [our] bread with the hungry and bring the homeless into [our]
house.”
We just finished three extraordinary adult education forums on hunger and food insecurity:
• Forum #1, presented on December 15, featured Richard LeBer, President and CEO of Harry Chapin Food
Bank, and Laura Simmelink, Senior Director of Programs of the Community Foundation of Collier County.
• Forum #2, presented on January 12, featured Dr. Jaclynn Faffer, President/CEO of Naples Senior Center,
and Elizabeth Alfaro, Director of Nutrition Services at Collier County Public Schools.
• Forum #3, presented on February 16, featured Madison Mitchell of United Way of Lee County, and Michael
Overway, Executive Director of the Hunger and Homeless Coalition of Collier County.
If you missed any one of these forums, you can watch a replay on the Temple Shalom YouTube channel.
Some things we learned from these forums:
• 10% of our neighbors in Lee and Collier County are food insecure, including 20% of children and 10% of
seniors.
• Need doesn’t stop at the poverty line – meet ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). These
are families that earn above the federal poverty level but not enough to afford a bare-bones household
budget. These are child-care workers, cashiers, salespeople, restaurant workers, office clerks, teachers, health
aides, landscapers, law enforcement – you know – the people we all depend on every day!
• 30-35% of households in Collier and Lee Counties are ALICE and poverty. These are not just the folks who
live ‘out there’ – they include 15% of the Vineyards residents, 14% of Pelican Bay residents, 27% of Marco
Island residents, and 35% of Bonita Springs.
• While the American Rescue Plan of early 2021 helped significantly, the food banks have experienced a
HUGE increase in demands due to covid.
Some things we can do:
• Donate food to the food bank at the Food Drive in the Temple Shalom parking lot on March 20
• Make a donation to Temple Shalom dedicated to Meals of Hope for Mitzvah Day
• Volunteer at the Harry Chapin Food Bank, Senior Center food pantry, Community Foundation of Collier
County, your local school system, or St. Matthew’s House.
• Deliver Meals on Wheels
• Participate in the Meals of Hope meal packing on Mitzvah Day (Sunday, April 24)
• Paint bowls for Empty Bowls Naples
• Fund microfinancing food projects around the world
• Support MAZON B’nai Mitzvah projects
• Advocate food policy/food justice, for example, food stamps (SNAP) and childhood nutrition
Hopefully, we can eventually change public policy, to ensure that no one goes hungry in America. For today, at
least, let’s try to just provide our neighbors with food for a meal. Donate to the Food collection in the Temple
parking lot on Sunday, March 20, from 9:00am -11:00am. 37T Z E DA K A H
