Faces of Emanuel
By Rabbi Joseph R. Black • [email protected] • ext. 308
T
hree years ago I was honored to be invited to serve as a scholar/artist-in-residence
at the Limmud Conference in London, England. This annual, international event
brings together thousands of Jews during the last week of December. We study, socialize,
sing, dance, and share ideas for Jewish renewal and continuity. It truly was a remarkable
experience that will remain with me for years to come.
While I was at Limmud, I saw an exhibit that consisted of photographic portraits of
individuals and families from a small Jewish community in Wales. Accompanying each photograph was a
written statement by the subjects of the photographs that detailed their relationship to the community and
what it meant to them.
I came back to Denver from Limmud bursting with new ideas. One of them was to create a similar exhibit
here at Temple Emanuel. I brought the idea to our Board of Trustees and, thanks to the incredible work of
Trina Reisch, who coordinated everything, Bart Levy, who donated his time and photographic artistry, and
Brian Hart, who helped us with the framing, we are ready to unveil “Faces of Emanuel.” Beginning this past summer, we asked a few initial households who represent a wide demographic
cross-section of our community to have their pictures taken. We then requested that they write a short
paragraph about what membership in Temple Emanuel means to them. Each photograph and paragraph
has been professionally matted and framed. The results are strikingly powerful. It is our goal to have a
rotating exhibit of members of our congregation that
share their involvement in and passion for Temple.
It will be on display in the hallway between the
library and the social hall. We have installed new
lights in the hallway that will help to highlight
these beautiful photographs. We expect that each
display will rotate every few months.
On Friday night, April 15 following our Annual
Meeting and prior to services, we will be
unveiling “Faces of Emanuel.” I hope to see
you there to share in this exciting addition to
our congregation.
Financial Strength
By Steve Stark • [email protected] • ext. 303
T
he Temple Emanuel fiscal year ends in June, so we are beginning our plans and budgeting
for next year. Dues from each of our members is vitally important. It allows us to continue to
properly maintain our campus and it allows us to continue to create high standard levels of worship,
programming, and special events. Temple has always been managed in a fiscally responsible
manner and we can only continue to be innovative and expand our
offerings if everyone pays their fair share. At this time of year, please be
sure your dues are current and if you feel you can give a little extra this year that would
be appreciated. Thank you for being part of this vibrant community. May we go from
strength to strength.

On Philanthropy
By Francie Miran • [email protected] • ext. 335
I
ncluding Temple Emanuel in your
estate plan adds to the Temple’s legacy
by helping grow the Temple’s endowment
and ensuring that future generations
can experience our wonderful religious
community. Here is some information to
consider when doing your estate planning.
What is Estate Planning?
Regardless of our wealth, social status, or stage of life, we all
have an estate. It’s the total of everything we own –
our homes, cars, investments, bank accounts,
furniture, personal possessions, even the
socks in our drawers. Everything that
we think of as ‘ours’ comprises our
estate.
So what is estate planning?
As a simple definition, estate
planning is our opportunity to
decide (today) how those things
will be shared with others when
we eventually pass away. It’s the
chance we have to make these
decisions ourselves.
Does Everyone Need an Estate Plan?
Yes, and many misconceptions exist. Some
of us think we’re not wealthy enough to need
an estate plan, but that confuses any potential tax issues
with the chance to share our estate the way we’d like (while
minimizing legal fees and court costs, too). Good planning
can actually mean more to families with modest means,
since they can afford to lose the least. People might also
delay planning because they think they’re not old enough,
are too busy, have plenty of time in the future, or just don’t
realize what they need.
Wait…You Mean I’ve Already Got an Estate Plan?
Well, strictly speaking, this is also true. Since no one could
ever guess what another person’s wishes might have been,
Colorado has created a formula to distribute the assets for
anyone that dies without a valid estate plan. But rarely does
this formula represent a person’s true wishes.
Why? Because no single formula could ever anticipate
the vast array of family dynamics, trusted friends, or even a
cherished community like Temple Emanuel – all of whom a
person might like to benefit in differing ways.
What’s Next?
Hopefully this article helps identify the need to create a
sound estate plan. Going forward, here are a few things to
consider:
 If you don’t have an attorney, consider
finding one. Ask families members or
friends and neighbors if they have an
attorney they trust. Pick someone
that inspires your confidence.
 The first component is a Will
or Living Trust. Again, it’s your
chance to decide how your
assets will be distributed to
those you love.
 In addition, a few other
documents typically comprise an
estate plan. In general, these can
include a medical directive, a financial
power of attorney, and a living will.
 Please note that not all assets transfer
through a Will or Living Trust. Some may be transferred
via beneficiary designation (IRA, life insurance) or other
arrangement (real estate deed). A careful review these assets
is another important step.
 Finally, please don’t put it off. It’s not just about your
peace of mind. Life is unpredictable and a sound estate plan
is one of the best gifts you can leave for those you love.
If you would like more information about estate planning
or the Live On Society at Temple Emanuel, please contact
me at [email protected] or 303.388.4013, x335.
All inquiries will be held in strict confidence.
GOT TUNA?
Jewish Family Service depends on us for tuna.
Thank you for continuing to bring in
cans of tuna when you come to Temple!

Please join us
Early Childhood Center Director Susan
Wartchow introduced the ECC Volunteer
of the Year Julie Eber. Susan thanked
Julie for being an inspiration and making
her first year as Director a wonderful
6
APRIL/MAY 2016
experience. As Chair of the Young Family
Shabbat Experience and the High Holy Day
Experience, President of the ECC Parent
Committee, and much more, Julie is a
wonderful mother, a fabulous spouse, and a
committed and passionate volunteer.
Executive Director Janet Bronitsky
introduced Volunteer of the Year Justin
Levy as “one of Temple’s best kept secrets.”
Justin has co-chaired Mitzvah Day for the
past three years, working incredibly hard.
Mitzvah Day is among the largest events
we do at Temple, and would not happen
without the direction of Justin and his cochair Sarah Goldblatt. Janet thanked Justin
for all he does, and reminded everyone that
Mitzvah Day this year is May 17. Janet also
thanked Ellen Abrams and the entire board
for all their work at keeping things running
smoothly.
Director of Education Ron Leff introduced
Caryn Herman, a tireless advocate for our
youth and youth programs. As a member
of Temple’s Board of Trustees, and in her
previous job as the Assistant Director of
our Early Childhood Center, Caryn has
made sure that we are always thinking of
our youth as the wonderful future of our
congregation. We are sad that Caryn is
leaving our community, but thank her for
all she has done and wish her much luck in
North Carolina.
Incoming Brotherhood President Greg
Ostravich thanked outgoing President Justin
Blue for his five years of dedicated service,
and acknowledged Matthew Heit for his
12 years of extraordinary volunteer service
on Brotherhood’s annual Blood Drive. Greg
introduced and thanked Brotherhood’s
Volunteer of the Year Mitch Brodsky and
characterized him as “always there, always
helpful, always with a smile.”
Carol Ann Warren offered the Sisterhood
report as its president. She noted that
Women of Reform Judaism represents
65,000 women across North America and
the world, and that Temple Emanuel’s
chapter is extraordinary. The past year’s
programs included a visit to the Chihuly
exhibit at the Botanic Gardens, the 3rd
Annual PMS Night, Ladies Night Out,
Mahjong Night, the Sisterhood Passover
Seder, and the collection of holiday gifts
through the Matanah project, to name
just a few. This year Sisterhood baked
over 1,800 latkes, gave Hanukah candles
to college students, sponsored Tu B’shvat
seders, ran the Purim bake sale, sponsored
the Young Family Shabbat Experience, gave
a gift to every student who became bar
or bat mitzvah at Temple, donated over
$26,000.00 to Friedman Club, and awarded
a full scholarship to the URJ Kutz Camp.
Sisterhood provides many ways for women
to connect with their Temple and larger
communities. Carol Ann presented the
Sisterhood Volunteer of the Year Award to
Mary Lee Mohr, who thanked her husband
for “technical support.”
Rabbi Black began his report by noting,
in Temple’s 140th year, the significance of
the number 140. The ancient practice of
gematria involves taking the numerical
value of words and phrases and finding
hidden meaning. The Hebrew word
HaKahal adds up to 140. HaKahal means
“the community,” and there is no better
word to sum up the past year at Temple
Emanuel. Rabbi Black highlighted a number
of key programs and initiatives, the many
ways that we engage our congregants in
meaningful and important ways.
Rabbi Black then acknowledged and
thanked the Temple leadership and staff,
in particular Janet Bronitsky and Cantor
Regina Heit as they approach retirement.
(The full text of Rabbi Black’s comments
can be found at rabbijoeblack.blogspot.
com/2015/03/rabbis-annual-meetingreport-2015.html).
The meeting was adjourned at 7:13 p.m.

Kavod on the Road: Bringing
Services, Programs to Seniors
K
avod Senior Life, a Denver-based
organization that provides seniors a broad
range of housing and support services that
reflect the spiritual, social, and cultural values
of Jewish tradition, has taken its mission on
the road! Kavod is the Hebrew word for honor
or respect. Kavod on the Road, in partnership with Temple
Emanuel, brings programs and services to community seniors,
regardless of affiliation or where they live.
There are several main components of Kavod on the Road,
according to Outreach Coordinator Sara Shvartzman:
 Programming includes speakers, educational programs
and fun social activities at community centers and
synagogues.
 From Oy to Joy monthly publication: A free Denver Jewish
senior activity guide (of events from community agencies)
published and distributed by email, mail, and at partner
agencies and synagogues.
 Support for grassroots programming: Jewish & Widowed,
a community-initiated program that provides discussion
groups, dining, travel and cultural events. Kavod provides
marketing and programming support to a dedicated layleadership committee.
 Large, community-wide events: Our Annual Fall Event
“The Age of Love,” a film screening and reception,
was held in February. Our Annual Spring Conference,
“L’Chaim! Jewish Wisdom on Aging Well” is a free, oneday resource conference planned for Sunday, June 5 at
Temple Emanuel.

Temple’s 20th Annual Mitzvah Day is Sunday, May 15
By Steve Brodsky • [email protected] • ext. 325
A
s Reform Jews, we believe in the power of Tikkun
Olam, repairing a broken world, and of G’milut
Chasadim, acts of lovingkindness. While we strive to do
this work every day, once a year our Temple membership
comes together in great numbers to perform these mitzvot
and build community. This year on Sunday May 15, we will
mark our 20th year of doing this important and holy work.
Mitzvah Day activities begin at 9:00 a.m. with a community gathering
and an exciting kickoff program in the Sanctuary at Temple Emanuel.
The day will conclude with a delicious BBQ lunch provided by Temple’s
Brotherhood from noon to 1:30 p.m.
Whether you have been part of Mitzvah Day before or never
participated, this is your year to volunteer! There are numerous opportunities for individuals, families, and groups of
friends to work together to make the world a better place. The three options include:
1
Off-site Projects
Volunteers can register to participate in
“hands on” projects, beginning at various
times and locations around Denver.
Some involve physical labor such as trail
maintenance or gardening, while others
involve interaction with seniors or children.
Some projects have a minimum age
requirement. See all the project offerings
and details at www.MitzvahDay.net.
2
Mitzvah Village
Located at Temple Emanuel
in the Social Hall, adults and
families with children ages 9
and up can participate in several
hands-on projects all in one
place – sorting hygiene products,
bagging ingredients for meals,
making peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches, and more.
3
Junior Mitzvah Day
This is an awesome way
for young children ages 3
to 8, with their parents, to
get a taste of what it feels
like to do mitzvot. Have
fun cooking, painting, and
creating as you move from
station to station at your
own pace.
Find all the details of the day and a registration form at www.MitzvahDay.net, or contact Steve Brodsky,
303.388.4013 or [email protected] with any questions. We look forward to seeing you at Mitzvah Day!

V’shinantam – And You Shall Teach Them
By Ron Leff • [email protected] • ext. 325
M
y preparations for Passover have changed considerably since
becoming a parent. I used to worry about preparing my home,
cleaning out the chametz, leavened products, and purchasing the
Kosher for Passover foods. I’d decide whether or not to make the
trip back to Michigan for the sedarim or stay here and find friends
to share the holiday with. Now, as a parent, my focus is on making
Passover memories.
When I think back to my childhood there are so many different memories I have
connected to the celebration of Passover. I remember being at my grandparent’s house
with aunts, uncles, and cousins. I remember asking the Four Questions (yeah, I was
always the youngest). I remember stealing and hiding the afikomen, I remember Grandpa
Harry, of blessed memory, leading the seder. And, of course, the amazing food Grandma
Sonia, of blessed memory, served. I remember searching the house for gym shoes,
because that was always what my grandparents gave us as the afikomen gift.
Now it’s my responsibility to make Passover memories for my children. I hope that I
can help you create memories for yours. Please take a look at Jewish Family page of the

Spring at the ECC
By Susan Wartchow • [email protected] • ext. 319
S
pring in the Early Childhood Center has
many meaningful moments. Whether it is
Mother’s Day Tea, Truck Day (the day where large
work vehicles come to our parking lot!), Tiny Tots
Orchestra, or Graduation, we are busy making
lasting memories for all the children and members
of our school community.
Our “Love you to the Moon” themed ECC Auction on Saturday,
April 16, will support our natural scape playground. Thanks to
the hard work of our amazing Parent Committee and family
supporters!
During Passover, we spend a lot of time cooking and getting
creative with matzah! We also talk about freedom, the meaning of
the seder plate, Moses, and Egypt. In the eyes of young children,
this often develops into concepts like the ability to make choices
and to stick with those choices.
Don’t miss our Young Family Shabbat events on Friday evenings
(April 8 and May 13). There will be exciting programs along with
these dinners and services. Also, come on Saturday mornings at 9:00
a.m. (April 16 and May 21) for breakfast, stories, music, and fun!
Congratulations to our ECC volunteers of the year,
Marni Reinstein and Myra Skinner, for their dedication to
our school. We appreciate them and the countless others
who dedicate their time, passion, and love to our ECC.

Review

[email protected] or

W
e wish everyone
a Happy
Passover! Since Temple
Emanuel has its Annual
Meeting in April where
events over the past year
are recapped, I would
like to review what the Brotherhood has
done the last year.
We honored Mitch Brodsky as the
Brotherhood Member of the Year. Jacob
Bendalin was selected by his peers for
the Milstein Award for the outstanding
male confirmand. We had a successful
blood drive in March. We got our grill
game on for Mitzvah Day in the spring
and the Religious School Back-to-School
event in the fall. We even got Rabbi Black
behind the grill! Brotherhood gave out 8
scholarships to help Temple youth with
college expenses. Brotherhood Bagels
and Lox breakfast continued with topics
including how to keep young adults in
college engaged in the Jewish community
and the importance of donating blood
product as a part of our annual blood
drive. We also assisted Temple librarian,
Rita Dahlke with a film series program
and cooking events. At our Annual
Fundraising concert, Brotherhood
members helped out with CD sales at the
Annual Fundraiser. Finally we supported
Temple athletics including the softball
league which is gearing up again.
For details on scholarships or to join
our softball league which begins in May,
go to the Temple website and visit the
Brotherhood page.
