Edward Paster served as a frequently
called upon role model of leadership for
the next generation. He is remembered
as a mentor to many in the shopping
center development and management
business, Jewish Community, and
countless civic organizations. He and
his family were dedicated to, and long
time supporters of, multiple charities
including the St. Paul Jewish
Federation, JCRC, Sholom, and The
Ronald McDonald House. Edward
served as an emissary to Jewish
communities around the world including
Russia, Cuba, Egypt, and Israel. Edward
Paster was a true pillar of Temple of
Aaron and the greater community.
Richard “Dick” Shaller was a well-respected
and thoughtful leader in the retail automotive industry, Jewish Community, and the
community at large. He gave his time and
guidance creating strong relation-ships
while sharing his business acumen with
boards and committees at Temple of Aaron,
Sholom, The St. Paul Jewish Federation, and
Talmud Torah. He also had a passion for
helping young students who were studying
at Temple of Aaron, and along with his wife
Rossy, helped establish the Rossy and
Richard Shaller Hebrew School. Dick Shaller
worked tirelessly to ensure that this
community went from strength to strength
and he left an indelible impact in the
process.

A November to Remember
We learn in the Talmud (Berachot 57b)
“Three things restore a man’s spirit:
Beautiful sounds, sights and scents.”
How fitting this small quote is for the
month of November at Temple of Aaron.
Beautiful Sounds:
You may have heard by now, and if you
haven’t please see the cover of the
Aaronian, that on November 3 Temple of
Aaron will be holding a fundraising event
in honor of the incredible leadership of
Edward Paster and Richard Shaller.
Anderson Cooper will be the guest
speaker while we honor these two men
and their families. Come hear about
these great men and from our
tremendous guest speaker, Anderson
Cooper.
There is much more to hear about. The
Shabbat preceding the Honoring our
Fathers event, Temple of Aaron
welcomes Rabbi Capers Funnye to lead a
Lunch and Learn for the community.
Rabbi Funnye is the rabbi and spiritual
leader of Beth Shalom B’nai Zaken
Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation in
Chicago, IL. This will prove to be an
amazing opportunity to hear and learn
with one of America’s most exciting
rabbis serving a very unique congregation. This Lunch and Learn will spark a
plethora of learning opportunities in
November at Temple of Aaron. A brand
NEW Learner’s Minyan, a service for
beginners, starts November 2 at 9:15am.
This is a great opportunity to learn the
tunes of the prayers so you can feel more
comfortable in services. Lastly,
November 13 we will be hosting Rabbi
Jesse Olitzky (brother of Beth El’s Rabbi
Avi Olitzky) live via Skype to teach from
Jacksonville, FL, in our “Rabbis Around
the World” program.
Beautiful Sights:
The Infinity Series Adult Education
classes begin on November 10. There
are two separate five-week courses
which will feature six different teachers
throughout two different semesters. I will
be teaching “Five Talmudic Lessons that
Will Change Your Life” from 10-10:50am
and then there is a choice at 1111:50am between Ernie Gulner’s
“Inconsistencies in the Bible” and Jill
Blustin’s “Torah Trope Training.” The
second semester of classes will begin in
February. What better sight than parents
continuing to educate themselves at the
same time as their children? This is a
great chance for children to see their
parents setting the example.
But it’s not just our education and
fundraising that is getting a major push
in November, our social programming is
gearing up as well. TAXY’s first happy
hour had over 40 young professionals
meet at Moto-i and TAXY’s biggest event
of the Fall/Winter will take place
November 16 at Whirlyball. Proceeds will
go to Winning for Winston to help support
ALS research. Last year our event raised
over $1,000 and brought in over 100
people in their 20s and 30s. This
promises to be another amazing sight.
Beautiful Scents:
On November 6, I will be heading down
to the smells of college life in Madison,
WI, for our first College Kesher visit. It will
be a great way to see our talented
college students. On November 15 we
will be having our highly successful Early
Thanksgiving Got Shabbat Congregational Dinner, and I am hoping for some
Tofurkey! What smells better than
Thanksgiving? Plus many other B’nai
Mitzvah and a congregational Kiddush
lunch on November 16 featuring
Menchies.
To say that November will be a month to
remember is an understatement. It will
be an amazing chance to be at the
synagogue to hear, see, and smell Jewish
life and restore our ever evolving spirits. I
hope you will join me during this historic
month at Temple of Aaron.

Thanksgivukkah
What did you say? Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving in 2013! This year and for the first
time since Thanksgiving is celebrated, the first day of Hanukkah will coincide with Turkey
Day. It is a unique double holiday and will not happen again for over 70000 years! The
obvious connection between Hanukah and Thanksgiving is of course the food. Here is a
recipe that will help incorporate the two holidays into one mega celebration for the entire
family. (recipe from buzzfeed.com)
CHALLAH-APPLE STUFFING — Serves 10-12
PREPARATION
INGREDIENTS
Cut challah into 1-inch cubes and let cubes sit out in a bowl or
on a baking tray, uncovered, for at least six hours to make
them stale. Alternatively, you can dry bread in a 250°F oven
by laying cubes in a single layer on baking sheets and baking
for about 30 minutes, or until bread is dry but not toasted (it
should not start to brown at all). Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium-low heat, then
add onions and celery. Add three teaspoons of salt and
ground pepper to taste, and cook until onions are soft, about
8 minutes. Add apples and herbs and cook until apples are
soft, about 5 minutes more. In a large bowl, combine challah
cubes, cooked vegetables in butter, and chicken broth. Mix
until the bread is saturated with liquid, and everything is
evenly mixed. Press stuffing into a 9x13-inch baking dish and
cover with foil. Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes, then remove
the foil, raise your oven to 450°F, and cook stuffing uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top starts to
brown slightly. Cool 10 minutes, then serve.
2 1-lb loaves challah
1 cup unsalted margarine (2 sticks)
2 cups diced celery
2 cups diced onion
2 cups peeled and diced Granny Smith apples

Lilmod U’lilamed — “To Teach and to Learn”- Pirkei Avot
‫ללמד וללמד‬
We have really gotten the year off to a great start as we enter our second full month of
religious and Hebrew school. The middle of the year is slowly closing in and we are excited
about some amazing programming we have done and are about to embark upon. This
month is all about giving back to the community and we have two specific programs
geared to help the community understand the importance of helping others.
Throughout the month of November, you will have your last chance to help join with
Jewish Family Service of St. Paul and other local organizations in the B’yachad
program. This drive helps those in need in our community by giving them the
essential things they need with some extras during the winter months. This creating
of gift baskets for over 120 families in our area can only be done with your help. Any
donations of new, unwrapped items from the lists on page 8 would help benefit those
people who cannot provide themselves with these items.

We are also working on a Jewish literacy program for Sunday November 17. We are
asking families to donate new children’s books to the local hospitals and shelters in our
area. We are also arranging for groups of people to bring these donations to the people in
need. Please look for more information about this program coming out later this month.
Please join me in donating items and giving of your time to these important causes
throughout this month. Toda Raba in advance for your support!
Midat Hachodesh:
V’Shinantam L’vanecha —
Teach them to your Children
This important concept in Judaism is
one which I have just learned for the
first time in my life as a parent.
While I have had a plethora of
students over the years, it is now my
turn to teach my own child. This
value and mitzvah, commandment,
of V’shinantam L’vanecha is part of
the first paragraph of the Shema
and in context states: “V’shinantem
L’vancha v’dibartah Bam”, …” You
should teach these words thoroughly
to your children and you shall speak
them.” What does it mean to speak
them? This phrase refers to the
previous sentence about the
Mitzvot. While it is important to know
the mitzvot, it is our job to speak
them as well as to reinforce them.
This learning technique is used
especially when learning languages
as the more we use certain words
the more we understand them. It’s
not coincidence that the place this is
written, the Torah, is connected to
the word Morah, teacher. It is our
job as teachers and parents to teach
the 613 mitzvot, commandments, to
our children each day. Have you
taught your child or someone
something today?
School Annual Campaign
Help generate funds that are used to bridge the gap between tuition and the full
cost of each student’s education. Contributions to the campaign are a powerful
endorsement of a Temple of Aaron education and provide funding to…
• Ensure Academic Excellence
• Enhance Jewish Identity
• Provide Financial Assistance
One hundred percent participation is the annual goal and gifts of all sizes from
$18 to $1800 are welcome as every gift counts.
Be a part of this effort and email
[email protected] today!
New Shabbat Programming:
As part of our new initiatives for the year we will be having programming every single
Shabbat for some segment of our youth population along with a special dessert or
luncheon. Please mark your calendars and become a part of this amazing new
programming on Shabbat mornings throughout the year. For questions or ideas on
what we can do to make Shabbat programming meaningful and special for everyone
please contact Rabbi Shavit-Lonstein, Rabbi Jeremy Fine or Joshua Fineblum.

Basic Steps for Hanukah Home Service
Hanukah is a wonderful holiday and our celebration must include more than just
the custom of giving gifts. Decorating the home with Hanukah symbols increases
the holiday spirit. The most important part of the holiday is lighting of the Hanukah
candles.
Everyone is obligated to light the candles. If possible, there should be a hanukiyah
(menorah) for every member of the family. A hanukiyah is easy to make and using a
home-made one can enhance the joy of the holiday.
Home Service
1. Place the candles in the hanukiyah as shown in
the diagram. The number of candles should equal
the number of the night of Hanukah, plus one for the
Shammash. When the candles are lit, the highest
number candle is lit first. The Shammash (S) is lit nightly to light the other candles.
Note: On Friday night, light the Hanukah candles before the Shabbat candles.
On Saturday night, light them after Havdalah.
2. Place the hanukiyah near a window so people can see the lights. The purpose of
lighting the candles is pirsuma d’nisa, to publicize the miracle of Hanukah.
3. After lighting the Shammash and before lighting the
other candles, say the following brakhot:
Barukh ata Adonai elohenu melekh ha’olam, asher kideshanu bemitz’-votav
ve’tzivanu lehadlik ner shel hanukah.
Praised are You, Adonai our God, Master of time and space, who has sanctified us
with His Commandments and commanded us to light the Hanukah lights.
Barukh ata adonai elohenu melekh ha’olam, she-asah nissim
la’avoteinu ba’yamim ha’heim
u’vazman hazeh.
Praised are You, Lord our God, Master of time and space, who accomplished miracles for our ancestors in ancient days, and in our time.
On the first night only, the following is added:
Barukh ata adonai elohenu melekh ha’olam,
shehehiyanu ve’kiyemanu ve’hig’ianu lazeman hazeh.
Praised are You, Lord our God, Master of time and space, who has kept us alive,
sustained us and enabled us to reach this day.
4. After lighting the candles, recite the following:
We kindle these lights to recall the great and wonderful deeds done by You, Lord
our God, through the Maccabees. May their light remind us to look to You, source of
our help. We remember those who came before us who made every sacrifice to
keep the light of Your truth burning brightly. May we and our children be inspired by
their example so that Israel may continue to be a light to the world in the ways of
righteousness and truth. Amen.
5. All join in singing Ma’oz Tzur.
Hanukah
There are eight nights of Hanukah and eight
opportunities to light candles in our homes.
Besides the presents, food, blessings and
singing, it can be an important educational
opportunity.
As you light the Shamash - The Talmud says
the study of Judaism is more important than
all the other commandments put together
since it helps foster the rest. This Hanukah, let
us re-dedicate ourselves to Jewish study
through the year. May the light of this
Shamash candle be a flame of enthusiasm to
further explore the spiritual treasures of our
people.
Candle #1 - Hanukah means dedication. Our
blessings and our prayers are in Hebrew; the
language of our national homeland is Hebrew.
The one language that the Jews have spoken
over 4,000 years has been Hebrew. Let us
rededicate ourselves to improving our Hebrew
this coming year...reading, writing,
conversation.
Candle #2 - The ritual of candle lighting is
chanting blessings to God. As we light this
third candle, let us rededicate ourselves to
regular Jewish prayer. Let us thank God daily
for the blessings in our lives at home and in
the synagogue.
Candle #3 - Candle lighting is a ritual act. We
perform it many times during the year. We
light candles before Shabbat, Yom Tov,
(holidays) Yahrzeit and when the lights go out.
Judaism is special because our rituals
reinforce our values. Add a mitzvah to our
Shabbat, kashrut and holiday observance.
Candle #4 - Many of the mitzvot of Judaism
are concerned with tikun olam (making the
world a better place). Think about how we can
help the world become a better place.
Candle #5 - The essential story of Hanukah is
one of trying to drive the oppressors of the
Jewish people from our ancient home land.
The victory of the Maccabees was only the
second time in history that the Jewish people
had sovereignty over the land of Israel. Think
about our love and attachment to Medinat
Yisrael - The State of Israel.
Candle #6 - One of the central rituals and
celebrations on Hanukah is the giving of gifts
to friends and family. Tzedakah is a
fundamental commandment in Judaism. Let
us reach beyond ourselves, and share what we
have with the needy.
Candle #7 - Hanukah is a family holiday. We
reflect in the lights of the candles with our
mishpacha and friends and pray for their
health and welfare.
Ma’oz tzur ye’shua’ti lekha na’eh
le’shabay-ah. Tikon bate tefilati ve’sham
todah niza’bay-eah. Le’ate takhin
mat’bay-ah me-tzor ha’mina’beyah. Az
egmor be-shir mizmor hanukkat hamizbe’ah.
Other Notes
Tefillin are worn during Hanukah, except Shahbat, of course. They are worn for the
entire morning service. A special paragraph is added to Birkat HaMazon, as noted,
on the holiday.
7
Candle #8 - On this final night of Hanukah, we
understand that Hanukah was essentially a
holiday to rededicate the ancient synagogue.
Every study of Jewish identity indicates the
synagogue is the key player in determining
commitment to the Jewish community. Let us
rededicate ourselves to get more involved in
our synagogue.

Social Justice - Opinions from aVolunteer Committee
This page provides room for updates and views from a committee within the Temple community.
Four Temple of Aaron members to participate in JCA’s Second Tzedek Institute!
Four members of the Temple of Aaron will participate in this year’s second Jewish Community Action Tzedek
Institute. The Tzedek Institute is a program of Jewish Community Action designed to train, develop, and
support strong and innovative Jewish social justice leaders. JCA develops and sustains a large network of
Twin Cities Jews who will be powerful enough to play a large and meaningful role in bringing about a more
just Minnesota.
Two years ago, Bill Lerman, Gary Portnoy and Brian Zaidman
represented the Temple of Aaron as part of the JCA first
Tzedek Institute. They joined with leaders of other
congregations and the Jewish community to defeat the
marriage and voter ID amendments, and then pass the
Freedom to Marry, the Homeowners Bill of Rights and the
Minnesota DREAM Act. The Tzedek Institute demonstrates that
community organizing works. We know that when we come
together and take collective action, we can improve our
communities and win changes in policies, attitudes and
behaviors. This year’s Temple of Aaron members participating
in the Tzedek Institute will be Jim Gleekel, Coleton Hanson,
Elyse Less and Wendy Oskey. They will be working with Temple
members from the last cohort and the social justice committee
to create a more robust social justice presence in the Temple
and greater participation of Temple members in community
organizing work.
Lunch and Learn on November 23
Speaker Jenny Mason is the Beacon Interfaith Congregational
Partnership Organizer for Saint Paul and the Twin Cities east
metro. She helps create and nurture partnerships with
congregations to end homelessness by developing affordable
housing. She will speak about teen homelessness at the Lunch
and Learn following morning services. Please join us to learn
more about Beacon Interfaith and how we can help with the
new teen facility being built at Prior and University to aid and
house our homeless Saint Paul teens. The Social Justice
Committee is planning for a future tour of Beacon Interfaith’s
Nicollet and Safe Zone facilities.
Help Those Who Need
Food Shelf Every Week
Help us make progress in the statewide
fight against hunger. Support our food
shelf! You can leave food at the synagogue. You can use our website and
make an online donation. You can mail
a check to chair person Harriet Levy and
she will mail a card for a celebration,
get well or condolence.
Food Shelf Donations
We always think about donating food during the Thanksgiving season, however, our community needs are
great. The food shelf container is located either at the front entrance of the synagogue or in the cloakroom.
Make it a plan that every time you come to synagogue that you bring a non-perishable food item for the food
shelf. That way we can exponentially increase our food giving to the Keystone Food Shelf that many of our
neighbors depend on for survival and nutrition. B’nai Mitzvah families, please consider asking your guests in
your invitation to bring a non-perishable food item when they come for your celebration.
Social Justice Shabbat — January 17-18, 2014
Put it on your calendar! Martin Luther King weekend will also be the annual Social Justice Shabbat at
Temple of Aaron. The Shabbat discussion will focus on housing and Judaism with Earl Schwartz speaking
during services and at the Lunch and Learn following morning services. On Friday evening, the Metropolitan
Men’s Chorus will perform at services.
