The Book of Life
It is easy for me to remember Susan’s birthday because it is three days before mine.
Every year our children work hard to find unique presents for each of us. What do you
give parents who want nothing and given this year, have become adept at ordering
whatever they need on-line?
Last February, our birthday month, they gave us the perfect gift. In honor of Rosh
Hashanah, the birthday of the world, I will share this birthday present with you.
We were presented with two StoryWorth subscriptions. This company, and I am sure that
there are others like it, sends a question each week that when answered will be compiled into a book along
with photographs.
A few examples:
1. What is one of your favorite trips that you’ve taken? What made it special?
2. What was the neighborhood you grew up in like?
3. What is your best advice when it comes to raising children?
4. How did you decide to get married?
5. What were your dad, your mom, your grandparents like when you were a child?
How many of us would love to have a book filled with the answers to these and many more questions from our
parents and grandparents?
I want to ask my grandfather what it was like when he arrived in America? I want to ask my father how difficult it
was for him when his father died and he was a teenager?
Mom, you went to Smith College on a scholarship after your father lost all of his money in the depression. You
served food in the dining room to more affluent students, did they treat you with respect?
Many of you have had your DNA tested and have discovered where you came from and perhaps were surprised
with a long-lost relative. How fascinating it would be to have information from family no longer alive?
We may not be able to discover the stories that have been lost about our grandparents and great-
grandparents, but we can provide for our children and grandchildren and generations not yet born stories that
will add depth and meaning to their lives. A document that can be shared with relatives and friends. Perhaps
our experiences will help guide them in their journey or give them comfort knowing the struggles we have
overcome.
We are each given one opportunity to write a Sefer Chaim, a Book of Life. The High Holidays are a time for
reflection, remembering and learning from our choices. During these Holy Days let each of us consider creating
a book to be treasured by those we love, or simply taking the time to share our history – both the blessings and
the challenges.
After a difficult year, may we continue to write our own Book of Life as we are inscribed in the Eternal Book of
Life.

Mazel Tov
We are very proud to share that Rabbi Marla Hornsten will be honored at the
annual benefit of the National Council of Jewish Women, Michigan. She will be
the recipient of the Woman of Vision Award for her dedication to serving our
community. This award is given to those woman who are champions of ideals
and are passionate about their convictions. Rabbi Hornsten has been a pillar in
our community and a leading voice in countless initiatives. We are truly lucky to
have her leading us at Temple Israel. To join in the celebration please visit:

Jewish Family Services recently held its annual meeting where Amy Hoffman Haimann was named
Employee of the Year. Additionally, the following members were chosen to serve on the Board of
Directors: Emily Camiener, Susan Hersh, and Jordan Wertheimer. The National Council of Jewish
Women recently announced its new Board of Directors and named Lauren Koenigsberg as it’s new
Vice-President, and Janice Cherkasky to their board. Mazel Tov to all these women and we wish
them the best of luck in their new roles within our community.
Josh Tobias, has been appointed as the President and Chairman of JARC. After serving ten years
as a board member, including three years as vice-president and one year as president-elect, Josh
was a perfect fit for the position. We look forward to watching him lead this incredibly important
organization.
Congratulations to Emily Abrams, one of four teens who won the Cohn-Haddow’s Annual High School
Jewish Writing Competition. Emily’s story, “Faith and Pride – Lost and Found,” describes how the
darkest moments of her life – the antisemitism exhibited by her peers – led her to the B’nai B’rith Girls
and eventually strengthened her connection with her Jewish identity and community. We are very
proud to have her in our Temple family.

IN ACTION
We are thrilled to highlight 2 of our extraordinary funds in every issue of The Messenger. To see a complete list of
all Temple funds, please visit www.temple-israel.org/funds
DR. FREDRIC & LINDA GOLD NEWLYWED MEZUZAH FUND
Marriage is a moment of unity which also represents a new beginning and a new home. Linda and Fred
(z”l) Gold value the essence of happiness in a marriage, the care and love, the seeking for the best in one
another, and also the beauty of Judaism in people’s lives. This is why they created the Dr. Fredric & Linda
Gold Newlywed Mezuzah Fund that provides a new mezuzah and scroll to all newlywed couples blessed
by our rabbis.
Fred Gold passed away recently at the age of 72. He has been a member of Temple Israel since he was
five years old when his family founded Temple together with Rabbi Leo Fram (z”l). His dedication to his
wife, Linda, to his family, and to the Temple family can be found in his words to every new married couple
receiving a mezuzah: “May your new home be full of love and happiness, and may you always embrace
the Jewish Ideals of Tzedakah and Tikkun Olam (charity and world healing).”
To donate to this fund, go to: www.temple-israel.org/tributes or call: 248-661-5700
JOSEPHINE & HARRY COLTON SHABBAT B’YACHAD AND
COLLEGE FUND
Harry Colton, part of the first graduation class of Rabbi Syme’s Religious School, was only 57 years old
when he passed away. Thirty years later, his wife, Josephine, passed away. In 1999, their son, Richard
Colton, and his wife Didi decided to perpetuate his parent’s memory through a family tribute fund.
Rabbi Loss suggested “Shabbat B’yachad” - welcoming the family of a newborn home by sending them
a Shabbat dinner.
Children grow and become adults and so did the fund. Over time, another purpose was added:
connecting with Temple members attending college. More than 170 students participate in Temple’s
“College Connection Program” through which the Colton Fund sends packages for the holidays delivered
by our clergy, provides gift cards to students, and organizes social gatherings. Currently, Brandon and
Natalie Brooks, great grandchildren of Harry & Josephine, are attending college and thus creating a full
family circle of giving and receiving.

SUSAN & RABBI HAROLD LOSS EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER
In-Review: Summer 2021 at Camp Shemesh - The Susan & Rabbi Harold Loss Early Childhood Center was
delighted to bring Camp Shemesh back, after a hiatus in 2020 due to the global pandemic. A hugely successful
2020-2021 school year provided the road map to come back strong and safely, hosting 98 campers age two
through Kindergarten.
The ECC made full use of Temple Israel’s abundant gathering spaces; setting up two gyms, two outdoor water-
play locations, two outdoor patios, in addition to our front playground and the Bridge between old and new
classroom wings. Safety Town, a specialty camp for incoming Kindergarteners, set up the new Discovery Zone as
a road course to teach vehicle and pedestrian safety.
Each week the Campers had a new theme, with corresponding activities and projects. You may still spot a few
colorful birds in the gardens from our birdwatching activity during “Let’s Go Camping” week.
And plenty of pudding, both for mud pie-making during “A Day On the Farm,” and for pudding
painting during “Messmakers” week.
Camp Shemesh campers enjoyed sun (and rain), water slides, fireworks on screens, Carousel
Acres petting zoo, beach balls, beaded Friendship bracelets, fireflies in a bottle, cake pan sailing
ships, oobleck, and so many more fun and exciting things!

CLARINET PIANO
Temple Israel is excited to host two Schmier Concerts this fall! In October we will be joined by the
Lumino Trio, featuring Sonia Lee on violin, Lisa Raschiatore on the clarinet and John Etsell on the
piano. The program is to include the music of Darius Milhaud, French Composer, who also is of
Judaic descent – a favourite of the group.
From his competition-winning roots in the USSR and his seat as principal violist of the Israeli
Philharmonic to his many renowned chamber music collaborations and professorship at MSU,
esteemed violist, Yuri Gandelsman, and his wife, Janna Gandelsman, will give an enchanting viola-piano
performance in November.
We are so grateful to provide musical offerings once again at Temple. Please keep an eye out for
information on registration in the upcoming weeks.
The Schmier Chapel Chamber Series is
presented by the Regene & Leslie Schmier Concert Series Endowment Fund.
