A Note from Cantor Avery
Shabbat HaNefesh
Shabbat HaNefesh means Shabbat of the Soul. Approximately once a month on
the third Friday night of the month, we will have special musical Shabbat services
called Shabbat HaNefesh. Our first service like this was October 19th and our next
one is November 16th (see below). We will be joined at services on November 16th
with the beautiful voices of Ruach, our Temple Shalom Youth Choir and Kol Halevi’im,
our Temple Shalom Teen Choir. We have our biggest group of young singers yet!
Our Shabbat evening services are an important part of the week at Temple Shalom. Music remains an
essential element of our spiritually uplifting worship. Sometimes we have services with piano, sometimes
we sing a capella, sometimes we sing with guitar, sometimes we have choir or soloists, and sometimes
we have a small band with drums, piano, bass, and flute! All these ways we worship, with instruments,
extra singers, and without, give our worship special texture and added meaning to our prayers.
Sometimes these special musical Shabbat services will have a theme. Our Shabbat HaNefesh service
on March 15th will be our yearly, phenomenal Jazz Music Shabbat Service. I’m particularly excited about
the theme of our November 16th Shabbat service. As I mentioned above, our Youth and Teen Choirs will
be participating in the service. The theme for that Shabbat will be Women Composers of Jewish Music.
If you were at Shabbat services on September 21st, you heard my sermon about women composers
of Jewish liturgical music. My revelation was regarding the music most Jewish congregations use for
services, especially for the High Holidays, being primarily composed by men. There are many reasons for
this which I will be discussing more in-depth at the service in November. While on some level I always
knew about the imbalance, I believe I hadn’t fully awoken to the deeper truths and subtle (and in most
cases unintentional) sexism residing in this disparity. I made a personal commitment to myself and to our
community to help balance out our world of Jewish liturgical music. This year, almost all of the new music
I brought in for the High Holidays was composed by women.
As your cantor, I believe it is essential to have good music that expresses our liturgy and that gives
voice to both the female and male composers of our sacred liturgy. Both voices have worth, value, and
importance. Both give voice to the innermost prayers of our people. In this “brand new day” that our
rabbis spoke about on the High Holidays, I feel I can do no less than to make ample space for both.
I am so looking forward to these joyous musical Shabbat services that we will have this year and I
hope to see each and every one of you there! If you have questions or would like to help out in some
way, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

As you may recall, during Rosh Hashanah morning services, I asked every member of the
congregation to pledge “2-hours” to get involved on a Temple Shalom project or
committee. The response was terrific…with nearly 250 people completing cards. It’s this
spirit of lending-a-hand and getting involved that distinguishes our congregation. It also
makes it a “tough” task every month to profile only a handful of outstanding volunteers
and Board members. See below for three impressive people, along with a salute to
employee Kathy Nall.
Stephen Gold Before the High Holy Days, the Temple Board divides the membership roster and places
“Happy New Year” calls to every member. Stephen Gold has been the Board member
behind this project for the last few years. Thank you Stephen! He and wife Mandy, and
daughters Jacqueline (17) and Eva (15), moved to Dallas in 2013 when Stephen
relocated here with AT&T. The Golds immediately jumped in…co-chairing the 50th
Anniversary Religious School Honor Roll, see the plaque on the wall as you enter the
eastern doors. Two interesting facts about Stephen – he loves his mom’s prune-filled
Hamentaschen and he played college football!
Jeff Kort is a Board officer, religious school teacher, docent to interfaith visitors, and co-chair of a
committee…while also working as a talented CFP (certified financial planner) – along with
being a husband to Kim, and dad to Sydney (17) and Dylan (20). The Korts joined Shalom
twelve years ago, and moved to Dallas more than twenty years ago when Jeff was
relocated with Sprint. Jeff and Kim grew up in Kansas City where they were both very
active in the Jewish community. That engagement shown brightly when they co-chaired
Temple Shalom’s 50th Anniversary Celebration in 2015. Something you didn’t know…Jeff
started his high school’s TV station and hosted a monthly TV program.
Shelli Taub If you’ve visited the Temple’s administrative office, you probably saw Shelli Taub, but
thought she was an employee. Nope…Shelli is the remarkable volunteer who has made it
her “job” to help-out in the office every Wednesday and Friday – for the last twenty years!
That’s dedication. Shelli and husband Les (approaching their 60th wedding anniversary)
have been members of Shalom since moving to Dallas 46 years ago, and raised sons
Larry (a long time member), and Steve, who lives in Chicago. Before starting her office
routine, Shelli helped found Traditions gift shop, organize the Havurah program, and led
the early years of Camp Hooray. Next time you see Shelli, please say “thank you”… and
ask her about how much time she spends playing Words with Friends.
Meet Kathy Nall, our Accounting Manager. Kathy joined the Temple Shalom staff in April
2005. An Air Force brat, she has lived in Okinawa, Japan, Hawaii, and Austin where she
met and married her husband Brack, also an Air Force brat. They have two sons, Brack
Taylor who is an Air Force fighter pilot, and Daniel who is a computer programmer in Ft.
Worth. She has three grandchildren and one on the way. Kathy enjoys the people she
works with.

Yiddish is our shared heritage. Consider joining a new Yiddish class. The class
will explore Yiddish language, theater, music, culture, food and humor in an
informal setting at whatever level you are comfortable with. No text books. Just
bring an open mind and don’t kvetch. Classes began on October 24th and continue on the 2nd and 4th
Wednesdays of the month through February 2019.
You don’t have to be a meyvin (expert) in the Yiddish alef-beys (alphabet). The class will begin by
learning the basics of reading and writing Yiddish from instructor David Katz. At each lesson you will
expand your vocabulary and be introduced to more Yiddishkeit.

Jewish law and Jewish thinking. No prior experience with Talmud necessary! We’ll bring the materials,

Temple Shalom’s Women’s Interfaith Group always welcomes new
members and doubled its membership this past year.
We meet four times a year and rotate between the Islamic Center in Irving,
Northwood Church in Keller, and Temple Shalom. Most times we meet at a
member’s home for
lunch and a program. Rabbi Paley traveled
to Dubai with Pastor Bob Roberts and
Imam Sulemon.
Our last meeting was held in August. It
was fun seeing old friends and enjoying
lunch together. We learned about the
Church’s involvement in helping people
from North Vietnam. We sewed and stuffed
toy Hearts to help the women know they
are valued, loved and appreciated.

Eco-Friendly & Reusable Gift Wrap Ideas for the Holidays
Did you know that, in the U.S. alone, we use four million tons of gift wrap and decorations each year for
the holidays - and this just gets added to landfills. This is a 25% increase over normal waste volume
between Thanksgiving and New Years.
What can you do in your house to make a difference?
Can we gift experiences over material things? They may be remembered longer, too.
If you are ordering online, try to combine shipments.
How you wrap is important:
Use comics or art work
Do you have fabric leftovers that can be used as bows or wrapping?
Use a gift as a wrap like a scarf
There are countless clever earth-friendly ways you can make an impact large or small. Share some with
us! For more ideas … https://wellnessmama.com/62543/eco-friendly-gift-wrap/
Shomrei Adamah Committee thanks you for considering the environment this holiday season!

Name Tags at Shabbat Services “Where Everybody Knows Your Name”
Visitors, members and their guests are asked to wear a paper name tag at Shabbat
services. We feel that we should all get to know each other and warmly greet our guests.
Nothing does this better than seeing a person’s name and addressing them with it.
We have paper name tags available in the foyer, and for members who wish to have permanent
magnetic name tags, you may order one at the sign-in table for a nominal charge of $5 each. These are
appropriate for all Temple Shalom events.
Welcome New Members of the Temple Shalom Family
