Dear Friends,
I am writing this message shortly after Yom Kippur on which, as on Rosh Hashanah, most of our community converges in the sanctuary for what I always hope will be a time of spiritual fulfi llment and human growth. I know the High Holy Days are for me.
With the High Holy Days behind us now, I want to re ect on a couple of things;
that is I want to think out loud.
First, each year after the Holy Days I wonder how many of us, and I include myself, take that which we learn about ourselves and what we learn about life from the services and actually apply it to our own every day lives. While reading the liturgy, we might be saying, I do have to do this, or I do have to change in that way. But when we return to the daily, hectic routines of our lives, are those thoughts relegated to the back burner? While listen-ing to the words of the Al Chet prayer in which we confess to not observing Shabbat, or the other holidays which are just as important as Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, do you tell yourself that you are going to change this year and begin to attend temple more often? And then the following year you confess to not keep-ing that resolution.
Second, are we not moved by words of the U-ntaneh Tokef, Who shall live and who shall die; who in the fullness of years and who before... while uttering them only to forget the importance of making each day really special (as if it were your last) once Yom Kippur has ended?
Third, when we sit among a congregation of hundreds, do we not feel good to be a part of a really special community? What hap-pens to those feelings once you get into your car?
I ask these questions because the answers should be apparent. We should and indeed we can take what we have learned about ourselves and about life and let these insights guide us throughout the year. It is within our power to make each day special for our-selves and also for our loved ones, our friends and our colleagues. The good feeling of being part of a caring community need not disappear after Yom Kippur. We have many, many opportunities to be together during the year and to keep those good feelings alive.
Why not make the year 5774 a different year; a good year; a year in which your Judaism does not go into hibernation. Ill look for-ward to seeing you and to keeping those good feelings a part of your life and a part of my life as well.
Lshalom,Rabbi Ira L. Korinow

Dear Temple Emanu-El Family,
Weve all chosen to be part of the Temple Emanu-El community. So what does it mean to make the choice to belong to a Jewish community? I think it means that we are looking for a place that is welcoming, a place where we can build intimate relationships, a place where we are supportive of each
other, a place that addresses profound spiritual yearnings, and a place where we can connect with Jewish tradition. We are looking for a place to call home, a community.
I believe that Temple Emanu-El is that place. A commu-nity is different than a congregation. A Congregation is a place where people come together and where they congre-gate, but a community is more than that. It is a network of support and relationships. The more you take part, the more you build those relationships and the more connect-ed you feel. When we become part of the community, we become part of something much larger than ourselves.
The Talmud states that For any person who works for the needs of the community, it is as if that person is studying Torah. By volunteering and become involved at Temple Emanu-El, we are bringing Torah to life. By becoming involved in and committed to a Jewish community, each one of us makes Judaism come alive.
All of the programs and activities that we offer would not be possible without our single most important resource: our volunteers. Our volunteers are the backbone, and greatest strength of this community. We rely on our volunteers and committees in order to function theres no magic here. Without our dedicated core of volunteers, we wouldnt have someone handing us a prayer book at services, or contacting new members; we wouldnt have Hamentashen on Purim or a Purim Carnival, or a Break-the-Fast after Yom Kippur. Volunteers helped create our website and Newslet-ter every month; run our library; our Sisterhood gift Shop; our Blood Drive; oversee our Religious School; create social events and fundraising opportunities. We need help in the following committees: Membership, PTO, Religious School, Social, Fundraiser and Social Action.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any ques-tions/comments.
Best regards,
Lynn Dreyfuss MartinPresident

HEFTY NewsHefty is ready to start its best year ever! On October 5th, we are going to kick off the year with a trip to Laser Quest in Danvers from 5:45 to 9:45 pm. The cost is $15.00 for members and in-cludes 2 games of laser tag, snacks and drinks. We did this event a few years ago and had a great turnout.
Our next event, on November 2nd, is Shear Madness, a whodunit comedy stage show held in Boston. The greatly subsidized cost will be $25.00 plus dinner money. Pick up and drop off will be at the Temple from 6:00 to 11:45 pm. Shear Madness is quickly becoming a yearly event and we like it that way.
In the wonderful world of NFTY, we have Levi Leap, an annual NFTY dance that draws over 300 Jewish teens from all over the New England region. Its a great opportunity to meet new people and develop long term friendships. Levi leap will be held on Oc-tober 26th and will cost $24.00. There are also two other regional NFTY events called Conclavettes that are weekend retreats with very large attendance. Regional NFTY events are a great way to meet new Jewish friends from all over the area.
As for ongoing projects, keep your eyes open for the start of Snack Shack and even a side fundraiser to benefi t Syrian youths. This year our Hefty Board is comprised of: Ben Shalek, President and Nfty Representative; Zach Shalek and Seth Kary, Co-Heads of Fundraising; Chloe Isabelle-Alper, Member Representative; Rebecca Flieder, Membership and Communications; Lauren Na-than, Programming and Nfty Representative; Hannah Jacobs, Religious and Cultural Programming; Josh Scher, Social Action; and Izzy Allen fi lling our new position of Vice President Emeritus.
If you want to join us for lots of Jewish fun and are in the 8th-12th grade range, send me an email at [email protected] and I will get you all the needed information. This years Hefty group has a huge amount of energy and enthusiasm; I can already tell that this is going to be a stellar year.

Now that the major fall holidays have passed we can get back to a normal routine without too many changes in our schedules. I would like to thank our ever faithful mad-richim who helped lead our chil-drens services. Almost all of them (We have over 20 this year in our High School Program!) were here to help for one service or another.
I would like to give a special thank you to Sam Miller who once again led Rosh Hashanah services and Seth Helman who ran the Yom Kippur service for Grades 3 -6, and Alyssa Helman and Hannah Jacobs for running both the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services for Grades Pre-K Grade 2.
I am happy to say we presently have 9 new children in our religious school (there is always room for more!). If your child has a new student in his/her classroom please say hello and introduce yourself when you see their par-ents and help us make them feel welcome. These chil-dren range in age from 2 through high school age.
The Early Childhood wing is working out well with chil-dren from TAPT through Grade 2 joining together for music each Sunday morning. Children in Pre-K through Grade 2 are also enjoying having their own special Sun-day morning service in the Chapel with Mindy.
October is a busy month. We try to have fi eld trips while the weather is still nice. Grades 3 and 4 will be going to the Magic Brush in Tewksbury to paint ceramic chanukiot and Grade 7 will paint Judaic themed Chanukah bowls. Grades 5 & 6 will be going to the Vilna Shul in Boston and at the end of the month Grade 7 will be going on an educational fi eld trip sponsored by the Jewish Cemetery Association of Massachusetts on Cemeteries Are For The Living.
On October 9th our 7th graders will be taking the food we have been collecting to Emmaus House, while there, they will learn the role Emmaus House plays in the Haverhill community. If you would like to donate non-perishable food, please come by and drop it off in the baskets near the 10th Avenue Brindis Entrance.
We are looking forward to our fi rst Tot Shabbat of the year on Friday, October 18th at 6:00pm. Tot Shabbat consists of a short Service in the chapel then we gather for a pot luck dinner in the Starensier Assembly, followed by sto-ries, songs and Judaic crafts. Its a wonderful way for the whole family to celebrate Shabbat. If you are interested or know someone who might want to participate, please call the temple offi ce 978-373-3861.

helping opportunitiesChesed CommitteeThe Chesed Committee has begun this new year in the sweetest way by delivering plates bearing honey cakes, honey sticks and apples, and beautiful challot from Emilys Bakery (in Haverhill) to those members who can no longer easily get to Temple. To the bakers, the packagers, the de-liverers, who all provided something special to others, thank you, thank you. Scott Pelley, a CBS news reporter, wrote re-cently that to reach out and touch another person with com-passion and respect... releases your spirit to soar.

Author Stuart Tower Sunday, October 13, 2013 Starting at 9:30am
Author Stuart Tower will discuss his latest book Branko. Mr. Towers fi rst book, The Wayfarers was highly acclaimed and a movie is in the process of being made.
As described on Amazon, Rarely will literature, history, an author and a novel fi nd that perfect balance of authenticity and entertainment that represents an enduring classic. Stuart Towers The Wayfarers is that perfect balance.
But The Wayfarers is much more than just historical fi ction. It is a well-researched look back at the 20th Century Jewish movement out of Europe. This is a slice of life so real that turning the pages is like being there.
Filmmaker Steven Spielberg has remarked on the book, In todays fast-paced, electronic society, plain old-fashioned, captivating story-telling is rare. In The Wayfarers, Stuart Tower has done just that.
In his latest book, Branko, Author Tower continues the story. Witnessing the brutal massacre that takes his family, six-year old Branko Horvitch survives and goes on to a childhood fraught with abusive relatives and unspeakable Tsarist orphanages. But the story of Branko Horvitch is not one of despair and destruction; it is a celebration of unyielding determination in the face of near-overwhelming challenges.
Spanning the globe, it is a story grounded in the reality of extensive research and o ers insights into history not usually reported.
Tower is also the author of Withered Roots: The Remnants of Eastern European Jewry, a collection of interviews with aging Holocaust survivors in Romania, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, the former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. Tower currently resides in Los Angeles, California and is visiting the Boston area to discuss his latest book.
The program will begin at 10:00 am. As always, a breakfast will be served at 9:30 and admission and breakfast are free of charge.
Although walk-ins are always welcome, we ask that you RSVP (for food preparation) to Nancy at [email protected] or 978-373-3861.

Keeping YOU Posted on theMembership Directory!
The directory can be found on the Temples website page:
templeemanu-el.org/ temple-directory-for-members-only/
Members of the congregation who opted to be listed in the Directory did so in order to help build a communication network among our membership. There-fore we ask members to be dis-
crete in the use of the information. It is not intended for use by people who are not members of Temple Emanu-El. It should not be distributed without the permission of the Temple. Doing so would be considered a violation of the trust among us.
In order for you to access the membership directory, a password is required. Please call the Temple office for the current password.
Break-the-Fast2013/5774
What a wonderful way to begin the New Year! Seventy-five people gathered in the Winer Auditorium after Neilah to share a meal and good thoughts with our Temple family. Almost all of the food was eaten and some foods were consumed before everyone had a chance to take a first helping. It was an enjoyable event for all.
Thank you to those who contributed food and to those who contributed monetary donations. Kudos also goes to Don Kumis and Craig LaFleur (a sous chef ) for setting up the Winer Auditorium and making the beautiful platters, as well as the cookie and juice bar in the foyer.
At Temple Emanu-El we hope that all members, their families and friends were inscribed for a year filled with joy, health, and success.
Harriet Peick Break-the-Fast 2013 Coordinator
Have You Remembered Temple Emanu-El?A bequest to Temple Emanu-El is an excellent way of fulfilling the mitzvah of securing a future for our com-munity. When preparing your will or when making changes, please remember the Temple. Your gift will provide for you and your loved ones a lasting way of supporting Jewish life in the greater Haverhill area.
For the sake of Jewish continuity, remember Temple Emanu-El!
Hospital VisitsRabbi Korinow visits the Merrimack Valley Hospital in Haverhill weekly or as needed.
The Rabbi wants to visit any member who is in a hos-pital. If you know that a member of Temple Emanu-El is hospitalized in any hospital, please call the Rabbi to let him know.

The following names at yahrzeit will be read on Shabbat
-
Honor your Mother and your FatherThe Torah tells us that we must always honor our parents. Our Jewish tradition extends that law to say that we must honor all our loved ones, and remember them in death. There is no better way to remember and honor the memory of your departed family members than to have a Memorial Yahrzeit Plaque on the wall of the Temple sanctuary.
You have seen the plaques on the wall of the sanctuary. Each week, the plaques belonging to our beloved departed, whose Yahrzeit, or anniversary of death, is that week, are lighted. This is to recognize the anniversary of that person, and to give us an opportunity to lovingly honor the memory of that person, at least once every year. Also, three times per year, on Yizkor, all the plaques are lit to remember all the loved ones of our Temple.
The plaque contains the name of the deceased, both in English and Hebrew, as well as the date of the persons death. The plaques are available whenever the sanctuary is open, so someone can always see the name and remember the loving memories of the departed family member. This is a loving way to remember a parent, spouse or child.
The cost of a memorial Yahrzeit plaque is a one-time cost of $250. This cost includes the engraving of the plaque, placing it on the wall, in alphabetical order, and having it lit on Yahrzeit and Yizkor to perpetuity. To purchase a plaque, contact Nancy or the Rabbi at the Temple, (978) 373-3861.

Fu n d r a i s i n g at Te mp l e E m a n u-E lScrip Comes to Temple Emanu-El!Shop with Scrip is an easy way to support Temple Emanu-El. Sim-ply purchase gift cards (or scrip) for places where you plan to shop, and use those cards instead of cash or credit. The Temple purchases the gift cards at a discount and sells them at full face value; you use them at full face value at your favorite retailers. The beauty is that you put your regular shopping dollars to work. You earn money for the Temple without spending a single additional penny. Keep cards for Shaws, Kohls, Starbucks, Target, CVS, Dunkin Donuts and many other retailers in your pocket to use just like cash. Scrip can be used for all your household purchases: groceries, clothes, household supplies, gasoline, entertainment, dining, and gifts, to name just a few.
Our fi rst few orders, though small, were quite successful. As we increase our participation, this has the potential to be a great fund-raiser for the Temple.
Now that we have several orders behind us and are more familiar with the process, we are moving to a regular sched-ule. Orders will be collected and submitted on the 10th of each month (or the next business day if the Temple offi ce is closed). For inclusion in our next order, forms and payments should be submit-ted to the offi ce no later than october 10, 2013.
Our Scrip vendor is continually adding new retailers. Well use this space, as well as reminder emails, to let you know when new gift cards are available.
Order forms and additional information are available on the wall outside the Temple offi ce, in the library, and on our website at www.TempleEmanu-El.org/fundraising. You may also order scrip online at www.shopwithscrip.com.
If you have any questions, please contact Paula Breger at 978.373.8846 or [email protected].
