Counting Our Blessings

Break the Silence

A challenge so compelling, so urgent, so timely faces us

all: It is time to break the silence surrounding the many

issues of mental health in contemporary society. We are

all touched by the many facets of this reality. Our friends, our

neighbors, our loved ones live lives of silence, often afraid to

talk about their struggles and pain. Especially among our teens

and young adults, the shame that so often accompanies the many

!"#$%&'(")*+,#+'"-"./+0"(1+!)23)**",.4+5.6")(74+*&8*(5.%)+&*)+

and abuse, eating disorders and more weighs heavily on the spirit. Beginning now, we

invite our congregation to break this silence and to begin a conversation about what we

must do to change this reality. Jodi Miller, our Director of Youth Engagement, has been

Race to Nowhere

Jewish tradition commands us to respect our bodies and to

strive for health as a means of honoring our relationship

to God. In recent years, mental health issues have become

a common concern for our families. Increasing numbers of

congregations have begun to develop responses and programs that

speak to the Jewish view of health and wellness. We want to create

a safe, supportive place of care, strength and learning at Shaare

Emeth, and respond to the need of raising awareness and reducing

the stigma within our congregations regarding individuals and families who are dealing

unprepared and uninspired. This issue affects us all—teens, adults, families and friends.

Jewish Heritage Tour to Eastern Europe

(BERLIN-PRAGUE-BUDAPEST-KRAKOW-WARSAW)

March 31-APRIL 14, 2016

Our Jewish heritage and family experiences are deeply interwoven into the map of Eastern Europe. We will explore over

a thousand years of Jewish history as we wind our way through the stories, villages and people from Berlin to Prague

to Budapest to Krakow to Warsaw. Along the way, and under guidance of skilled and experienced local tour guides, we

will explore the highs and lows of our people’s journey through these beautiful and vibrant lands, exploring our own personal

journeys as well as we travel through some of the most historic and beautiful cities in Europe.

From the Clergy

Becoming Aware…of Breast Cancer

October, as many are aware, is

Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The purpose of this time is to

raise awareness about the disease and

provide education for families that will

help them become the best advocates

for their health and bodies that they

can be. It is important for women of

Ashkenazi descent, in particular, to make sure that know the

facts about increased risks that they may face. Researchers have

determined that women of Ashkenazi descent have an increased

genetic susceptibility to breast cancer and ovarian cancer. One

in four men and women of Ashkenazi descent carries a genetic

mutation that greatly increases the risk of developing these

cancers. Women who carry this mutation have up to an 80% risk

of developing breast cancer and up to a 45% risk of developing

ovarian cancer. If you or your partner is of Ashkenazi descent,

genetic counseling and testing can help determine if either of

you carries this gene mutation.

I learned a great deal about these genetic links to breast and

ovarian cancers this summer in speaking with representatives

from Sharsheret Supports here in St. Louis. Sharsheret is a

!"#$%!"&'(!%!)*+%,#(%+-"!$."#$%!(#/"#(01**%+#0(2%1!-(3%45!(

and their families of all Jewish backgrounds who are facing

breast and ovarian cancers. In Hebrew, the word Sharsheret

means “chain,” and this organization is creating strong links in

a chain across St. Louis so that women and families who are

facing the challenges of breast or ovarian cancer do not have to

woman and family, and their mission is carried out with

compassion and warmth. In St. Louis, Sharsheret Supports is

sponsored by Nishmah: The St. Louis Jewish Women’s Project.

If you or someone you love is battling cancer or any other

illness, Shaare Emeth wants to be here for you. Our Caring

Community offers a number of programs and services, including

meals that can be delivered to your home, and a monthly

Service of Wholeness of Hope, where we come together to

May October be a month of health and support, learning and

caring for us all.

Shaare the Vision

Back in August, I attended a

luncheon with members of our

Tzedek committee, clergy and staff.

!"#$%&'("#)'$*+,$-"#$./,-$0)1'2$3)/#$

Good Awards Luncheon in honor of the

150th anniversary of the Salvation Army.

At the luncheon a number of entities and

people were honored for doing more good

in our overall community. We attended because Shaare Emeth

was honored with the Faith Partner award for our efforts in

social justice and advocacy in the community. We were the only

religious organization in the community recognized.

This honor reminded me just how many things our congregation

is involved in throughout the community in addition to being

our spiritual home. I mention this because by providing so many

programs, education opportunities, and support to so many

people, our resources and facility are not just a resource to us,

they are a resource and support system for the entire community.

As you recall from my speech at the High Holy Days, we have

embarked on the Shaare the Vision campaign for the future of

the congregation. As you will learn over the course of the next

few months, your temple leadership has many suggestions of

how to bring our facilities up to current standards of access and

&,#$*"1%#$+%,)$2/)*1'2$)&/$#'4)*5#'-,$-)$#'+6%#$&,$-)$7&%.%%$

our mission and provide for our future. Our endowments will

also enable us to continue to be a resource to those in need both

in the congregation and in the overall community.

In the Torah, we are told as a people we can be a light

foundation, we can be that light in the Saint Louis community.

I ask that each of you will with an open mind attend one of

the informational forums we will be offering about the Shaare

the Vision project and that you will contribute in a way that is

appropriate for you. Together with our collective strength we

can provide for the future of our Congregation and brighten its

light knowing we have the resources and facilities to enable our

mission and goals of making the world a better place.

What’s New At New Mt. Sinai?

There’s a lot of new developments at New Mt. Sinai. First,

we have a new section at the cemetery—84 new two-grave

family lots. These affordable lots allow you to have a

family monument as well as foot markers. Located on a beautiful

hill in the newest area of New Mt. Sinai, these lots are sure to be a

popular choice for couples looking for property just for the two of

them. Call now to schedule an appointment to see these new two-

grave lots.

The cemetery has also just purchased a new pressure washer to

clean the many structures around our historic grounds. If you

have monuments or markers on your family’s lot or grave and

those stones have become dingy over the years, we can now

offer very reasonable prices to clean the stones. As a member of

Shaare Emeth, one of our owner congregations, you qualify for a

7%85#,&-27)*.-26)9#&-.5-)#,*)#/+52)-#7.:).&7)0.;2).**.&$202&-8)
