a purpose greaterthan ourselves
by Sheri Sachs, Temple Solel President
In an era that has seen the loss of community,at a moment when
our economic insecurity
forces us to give greater attention to the demands of home
andworkplace, at such a time, we need a third place, a center
ofcommunity. I am honored that Temple Solel is this third
place,providing a sense of purpose greater than ourselves, but
mostimportantly, providing a community for our family and
friends.Temple Solel is a place that embraces all who enter its
gates; aplace where, when you are not there, someone misses you,
andwhere no member suffers alone, grieves alone or sits home
aloneon a Jewish holiday. Our synagogue is a place where you
stopbeing another face in a crowd of strangers; where someone
tapsyou on the shoulder, recognizes you, calls you by name
andaffirms that you are unique and irreplaceable in the eyes of
God.Temple Solel is a place about which a Jew can say
withconfidence: “I belong here.”
There is nothing easy about maintaining the sense ofcommunity
our synagogue provides. As members of TempleSolel, the hand of
Jewish history rests heavily on each and everyone of our shoulders.
A wise person once remarked, “There aremany great Jewish
organizations that raise awareness, but onlysynagogues raise Jews.”
As we approach our 30th anniversary as acongregation, we reflect on
the thousands of Jews Temple Solelhas raised. Indeed, we have a
proud history. But to maintain ourposition as one of the leading
Jewish institutions in SouthernCalifornia, we need the commitment
and collective strength ofour current membership.
Temple Solel provides a rich variety of social,
religious,educational, Israel, and social justice opportunities
designed toharness the heritage and impulse we all have as Jews for
repairing

A DoubleMitzvah
Everybody knows it is a good idea to recycle, but I figuredout
how to make recycling adouble mitzvah.
My name is Hannah Yellen.I am seven years old and in
second grade. I’ve always thought recycling
is important because it helps keep our earth clean. A while
ago,my mom explained to me that Icould earn money for the
bottlesand cans that we usually put atthe curb.
We started taking our bottlesto the local rePLANET center. I was
surprised how much moneyI could earn this way. It is great tohave
some money to spend, but Idecided to donate half of myrecycling
money to tzedakah.
After saving up a few weeks, I brought $12.69 to Temple. Nowmy
recycling money is going tohelp build safer schools for thechildren
in Sha’ar Ha’negev, ourTemple’s sister city. By recycling, I am
helping the earth and ourJewish family in Israel at the sametime.
It’s a double mitzvah!
If you are putting your bottlesand cans at the curb, think
aboutturning them into tzedakahmoney. To find the rePLANETcenter
nearest you, visit,www.replanetusa.com.
Everyday bottles can be turned into everydaymitzvahs!

Temple Solel’s Hineynu Community
“We Are Here”
The Hineynu Community is a network of Temple Solelmembers
designed for “inreach” to families in need. Hineynuencourages
participation of all Temple Solel members infulfilling the mitzvah
of Gemilut Chasidim — acts of loving-kindness, visiting the sick,
consoling the bereaved, andwelcoming the stranger. The Hineynu
Community respondsto the emotional/special needs of our
congregational family,especially in relation to illness,
bereavement, and major lifechanges through supportive services such
as hospital andhome visitation, provision of meals, and respite
care.
Contrary to 150 years ago, in today’s world, one does nottend to
live out their lives in the same village in which theywere born. We
move for many reasons such as jobs or a betterlifestyle. With this
mobility, a loss of long standingrelationships ensues and a new
support group takes time todevelop. Close family may be distant.
Neighbors come and go.But Temple Solel is here for you and can fill
the breach withour excellent clergy, staff and services and in
times of need,the Hineynu Caring Community.
Temple Solel has, as one of its’ basic tenets, the concept that
we are all one community. We are family. We are all here for one
another.Hineynu was started with the goal to facilitate the help of
members in time of need.
One of the greatest times of need is when a loved onepasses
away. Hineynu helps our congregants through thisbereavement
process. You may have all seen of late an e-mailinstituted by the
Hineynu caring community. It is entitled“Our Heartfelt
Condolences.” When one of our own (or afirst degree relative)
passes away, we want the entirecongregation to be aware of this
significant event and helpthose who are mourning the loss of their
loved one. Pleasemake sure you have provided the Temple with your
mostcorrect e-mail address so you can be informed.
With relation to a death, the Hineynu steering committeehas
written and provided to all congregants the inspirationaland
educational Bereavement Guide. We also make calls,send cards, plant
a tree in Israel in memory of the departed,provide meals and
support as needed, as well as ChavurahChesed (the meal after the
funeral arranged by Ellen Fox andRobin Rubin).
If there is ever a time when you, or one of your lovedones, is
in need, please do not hesitate to contact the Temple

S C H O O L N E W S
In September of 2004, the Dovesoap company tried a
radicalexperiment. It ran an ad campaign thatfeatured women who did
not fit thetypical “tall and thin” model that we areused to seeing
in the media today. Italso encouraged readers to share theirideas
about the campaign on theirwebsite, hoping to create a
discussionabout our modern perception of beauty.
“Low self-esteem among girls andyoung women has reached a crisis
level,”said Dr. Ann Kearney-Cooke, Ph.D., apsychologist who
collaborated on Dove’sReal Girls, Real Pressure national reporton
the state of self-esteem. The reportrevealed that seven in ten
girls feelinadequate about their looks,performance in school,
and/orrelationships. Most disturbing, girls with low self-esteem
are engaging inharmful and destructive behaviors thatcan leave a
lasting imprint on their lives.(“Girl Power?” by Judy Gruen
atwww.aish.com)
Such is the reality for many of theteenage girls at Temple
Solel, and suchis the reason that three of thePreConfirmation
(8/9th grade) classesthey attended in February and Marchwere based
on the “Strong Girls”curriculum, written for the organizationJewish
Women International. They weretaught by Jan Rakoff, who has been
apsychotherapist in the Del Mar area forover thirty years, and a
longtime TempleSolel member. (The teenage guys in theclass attended
three classes entitled“Good Guys,” taught by Craig Parks!)
The intention of the Strong Girlscurriculum is to help ensure
that our
teenage girls are equipped with the self-confidence and
self-knowledge to makehealthy choices and surround themselveswith
strong support systems that willhelp them achieve their goals. It
is easyto shy away from implementingcurriculum that deals with
dating,friendship and self-esteem in a Jewishschool. But, as a
Jewish institution, thestaff and teachers at the Temple SolelSchool
are committed to providing theyoung women in our school
theopportunity to talk about these issuesand to learn about what
Judaism saysabout the issues.
Some of the key points that JanRakoff discussed with the Solel
teens inclass were:• The way we feel about ourselves
impacts how we interact inrelationships.
• Esteem is someone else’s perceptionof our worth or value as a
person.Self-esteem is our own perceptionof our worth or value as a
person.
• Being confident in ourselves andknowing what makes us happy is
so
important to making healthyrelationship choices because we
canmake choices that reflect our ownvalues and complement who we
are.
• Surrounding ourselves withsupportive friends also helps
guideus in making healthy relationshipchoices. Some of the comments
written by
the girls on the evaluations included:• “I learned the
importance of
listening to my inner voice whenmaking my relationship
choices.”
• “I am going to try harder not to givein to peer pressure.”
• “I will make sure I know guys beforeI go out with them.”
• “I will talk to a close friend aboutthe choices I make if I
feel that Ineed some help.”Having a safe place for young
women to talk about their feelings is soimportant. Jan Rakoff
provided a lovingand open atmosphere so that the teensfelt
comfortable to discuss thechallenges they face as girls growing
upin today’s world. For young Jewishwomen, the messages
aroundrelationships are complex and oftenunclear. The “Strong
Girls” classes gavethe girls an opportunity to talk openlyand ask
questions about the messagesthey receive, and to discuss
theirreactions to these messages. Althoughthe girls did not walk
away with all ofthe answers to their questions, theyparticipated in
the conversations,learned what Judaism had to say abouttheir
questions, and were “listened to”by a caring Jewish teacher.
office to let them know. This begins the process of caring and
fulfilling themitzvah of Gemilut Chasidim as carriedout by our
clergy, staff and through ourHineynu caring community.
One Single act of kindness may bethe greatest gift you can
give.
We are always in need of volunteersto help out with meals,
calls,transportation, writing cards, etc. For
more information on volunteering andbecoming a vital part of the
Hineynucaring community, please call or e-mailKarin

P R E S C H O O L H A P P E N I N G S
by Cathy Goldberg, ECC Director
At Temple Solel Early ChildhoodCenter, we begin with a vision of
whatwe hope the children will learn aboutJewish traditions and
holidaycelebrations during the school year. ThisPassover in our
ECC, the childrenlistened to stories about Pesach, sangsongs, and
had hands-on experiencemaking matzah. They were given flourand
water — the ingredients used in theprocess of matzah making. They
felt thesquishy dough between their softfingers; squeezing,
rolling, making smallholes in it, and eventually placing it on
acookie sheet ready to go into the oven.What a wonderful hands-on
approachto learning. The children had anawesome opportunity to use
all theirsenses in the process. Our teacherscontinually amaze me
with creativelearning experiences geared for thedevelopmental
levels of their students.
Each and every day there issomething “Jewish” happening
withinthe classroom. Teachers utilize Hebrewvocabulary, words are
placed in bothHebrew and English in different areasof the
classroom, there is a lot ofholiday baking, the sh’ma buzzesthrough
the classrooms, havdallah isenthusiastically presented at
thebeginning of each week, we end theweek with a Shabbat experience
everyFriday with singing and dancing. Howimportant is this for a
child attending aJewish center? VERY! There isnowhere else that a
child can be exposedto and infused with the beauty of
Judaism in such precious and safesurroundings as in our ECC.
So, what does this say about JewishEarly Childhood Education?
This fieldis mandatory if we are to keep ourculture and identity
strong. Our staffneeds to be educated both in the bestpractices for
secular education as well asfor Jewish study. This is
accomplishedby having them attend wonderfulconferences which will
help fuel them tospark interests in their classrooms. Inaddition to
being well grounded in theworld of best practices, the child’s
social,emotional and cognitive growthcontinues even in the realm of
Judaism.Judaism is introduced to the child’sworld the same way as
any othercomponent of curriculum. It is weavedthrough their daily
schedules. Judaism is alive and well, and is thrivingthroughout our
center.
We are fortunate to be able totransmit the love of Jewish
learning inour classrooms. This is done through aloving and
nurturing environment thatengages the children so they can
learnwhat our Jewish heritage andcommunity is about. Tikkun
olam,tzedakah, respect for our fellow friendsand teachers, kindness
to others, andstrong Jewish values are all keycomponents in our
environment. In theJewish early childhood classroom, it isimportant
for children to learn thatbeing nice, and kind, to other people
isnot a good thing to do, it is a Jewish
thing to do. Children can learn that it isthe Jewish way to help
each otherwillingly and with care. Children willrise to
opportunities to act as God’spartner and take care of their world,
ifthey are given the vocabulary of theJewish values and mitzvot to
go alongwith their actions.
As a strong advocate of Jewish EarlyChildhood Education, it is
mydedicated belief and desire to keepenriching the classrooms with
anourishing curriculum that builds strongand healthy minds by
utilizing music,dance, creativity and stories, in additionto
encouraging children to share, carefor fellow classmates, show
compassionand teach prayer. We must understandthat anything secular
can be turnedJewish.
Teachers are a critical component toany Jewish Early Childhood
Program, asthey infuse a great wealth of knowledge,expertise, love
and dedication in all thatthey do. They need to be valued
andappreciated for all their hard work andcommitment in making
their classroom aJewish environment. It is theirresponsibility to
enrich the children’scurriculum—both in a Judaic and secularway for
all students. The parents, children,educators and administration
need tostand together if a cohesive community isto blossom out of
our centers. Together, asa team, we are building the foundations
forgenerations to come…the foundations of asolid Jewish identity
amongst ourpreschoolers and their families.
Are you willing to cook extra portions of the main dish,salad or
dessert that you are making for your family so that youcan provide
food for the women and children at the EncinitasCommunity Center
Abused Women’s Shelter? If so, thismitzvah is for you!
Three times during the year, you will make either a maindish,
salad or dessert and deliver it to the Abused Women’s
Shelter in Encinitas. A wonderful group of Temple Solelmembers
have been doing this for many years. The women andchildren at the
Abused Women’s Shelter very much appreciatethis kind act that our
Solel members perform. If you areinterested, please contact Ellen

PA S S OV E R I N T H E D E S E RT
Thanks to all the participants in the second annual Passover in
the Desert. If I may speak for everyone, we all hada great
time!
You may be wondering why all those people drive out tothe Anza
Borrego Desert to sleep in tents for two nightsleaving themselves
open to the whims of nature. Will it be hot,windy, rainy, and
uncomfortable? Will there be critters tocontend with?
Well, we had some wind, but we put up a wind break. Itwasn’t too
hot, but we carried a lot of sunscreen just the same.It did rain a
little bit on Friday night but one tent had to put
on their rain fly at 3:00 a.m. because I told them it doesn’t
rainin the desert. And we did hear coyotes, but they were far
awayand calling to the moon.
Through the experience, the inconveniences, and the coldwalks to
a bathroom at night, we go for Passover in the Desertbecause of the
amazing camaraderie that occurs. Where else donew members get to
know their neighbors by hiking togetherto a desert oasis? Where
else do new and long time membersjoin together to help each other
with setting up tents, ourtemporary homes? Where else do you have
time to standtogether to make meals that test your creativity
working withlimited resources and space? And think about the need
to lighta lantern for Shabbat because the wind would blow
outcandles. And the laughter that is shared during an eveningspent
at a campfire telling jokes and singing. Where else doteens get to
use the Bricker’s RV for their evening get togetherbut help out
with the younger kids during the day withoutbeing asked? Where else
do campers pull together to turn outtruly delicious meals like
cedar planked salmon and stir friedtofu? Where else do you get to
share a daytime sky of the mostradiant blue against rocky crags and
a night sky filled with starsfollowed by the rising of a full moon?
Summing it up, Passoverin the Desert feels like a combination of
Kibbutz life mixedwith Jewish camp and gives just a hint of what it
was like forour ancestors.
As we said upon parting — next year in Borrego! Thankyou campers
for making the experience so great!
— Vicki and Mark Remas
