Building Torat Yisrael’s

Future
An Update from Andy Sholes, Building
Committee Chairman
The site work for our new Temple on Middle Road, East Greenwich is progressing.
The land has been cleared and graded. We had encountered a small amount of
ledge which was removed by blasting. The site drainage system has been installed
which will collect all rain water runoff on site. We are not allowed to have any rain
water from our site runoff to the adjoining property. The retaining wall along the easterly side of the
site has been completed. The water and sprinkler service has been installed from Middle Road to the
building pad site. The septic system has been installed. The light pole bases and the underground
electrical lines for the parking lot lights have been installed. We are waiting for final approval from
National Grid to install the underground electrical conduits for the electric service to our new building.
Upon completion of installation of the electric work, the site will be finished graded and a binder
course of asphalt will be installed. We anticipate having all the site work completed before Labor
Day.

The architectural plans for the building are in the final stage of completion. We had the architects
revise the building roof design to substantially reduce the cost of the project. The redesign work
delayed the completion of the plans. We anticipate that the plans will be completed in late August,
2010 and we will bid out the building portion of the project at that time. Commencement of the
construction of the Temple building is contingent upon the sale of our existing facility. Our real
estate broker is continuing to actively market the Park Avenue property.

Greetings from Susan Smoller

Shalom Fellow Congregants,

Thank you very much for the
honor of installing me as
President of Torat Yisrael, at
the annual meeting held in
June. It is a humbling experience to be chosen
to lead our congregation in this time of change
and progress. Being an effective leader
involves support and hard work from all of the
congregation and I thank you for all you do. I
will work hard to continue to promote a
vibrant, inclusive and caring congregation.

On November 7 we will hold a yard sale in the
temple. We will sell items that you drop off to
the temple, Monday through Thursday from
9am to 5pm and Friday from 9am to 2pm.
Please do not drop off clothes for the yard sale.
If you have clothes to share, please drop them
at the Edgewood Food Closet or contact the
temple for additional drop-off sites. We are
looking for new and gently used items such as
household goods, costume jewelry, children’s
toys and games with all the pieces intact. We
have arranged for a free truck to accept all
your electronic and computer items that day at
the temple. The truck will be available for you
to drop off old faxes, tape recorders,
computers, telephones, printers etc… This is
all to support the temple objective to improve
our carbon footprints. Please contact the
temple if you are available to work at setting
up the items on Saturday evening, November
6 and if you are available to work at selling the
merchandise from 8am–3pm on Sunday,
November 7.
I hope you will join us at our annual free break
the fast at the temple. We will serve a
complete dinner to enable us all to share in the
first meal after Yom Kippur and to socialize.

Lives
I was listening today to a children’s song called
“BusyBusyBusy” while I was rushing around.
These lyrics (sung at feverish tempo) caught
my attention:
We have to hurry far away
And then we hurry near
And we have to hurry everywhere
And be both there and here
And we have to send out messages
By e-mail, phone, and fax
And we’re talking every minute
And we really can’t relax
And we think there is a reason
To be running neck-and-neck
And it must be quite important
But we don’t have time to check.
So I tried to slow down.
But truly, aren’t we busy? There seems to be
increased awareness about avoiding
“overscheduling” one’s child, which while not
always successful, is at least part of general
conversation about parenting. But what about
adults?
2
Please bring your families with you and let’s
enjoy each other’s company over a meal. As
in the past two years, we are looking for
financial donations to offset the cost of this
event and all donations can be sent to the
temple and earmarked towards the break the
fast.
I hope you are enjoying this wet and warm
summer and I look forward to seeing everyone
soon.
Please contact me at any time with any
comments or questions.
B’Shalom,
Susan
Busy
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that
greater that 50% of married couple households
have both adults working. Often adults
augment their busy work lives with an adult ed
class, teach in Sunday School, play community
softball, belong to a book club, go to PTO
meetings, take music lessons—AND take kids
to music/dance/gymnastics/sports classes,
attend regularly scheduled games for their
children, go to shul, mow their lawn, vacuum
their home, fold laundry, cook nutritious
meals, exercise regularly. This doesn’t account
for any needed “downtime” to sit quietly,
meditate, read a book. In early May, the
National Sleep Foundation released its annual
report on “Sleep in America”—they found that
about one third of Americans were not getting
the amount of sleep they require to function at
their best. Lack of sleep leads to irritability,
inattention, lesser performance, lowered
immunity and ill health.
Can all this be correlated to our busy lives?
Not exactly or directly, but it is clear that
sustained busyness does not make us happy or
satisfied or healthy—and in fact often
backfires. Jewish tradition provides a built-in
antidote in the observance of Shabbat--though
for those less observant, taking time out on Consider your life, your “busy factor,” your
Shabbat is difficult because of the busyness level of stress, your sleep patterns and level of
(and soccer games, errands, birthday fatigue, your regular downtime. How well are
parties…..) you taking care of yourself?

Dear Torat Yisrael Families:
I write this note with the hope
that your summer is pleasant,
restful, and full of fun! Even
while we enjoy the lazy, hazy
days of summer, planning and excitement for
the new year is on my mind. I am delighted to

of our Cohen School students and enjoy a wide
variety of sports, water, arts, and Shabbat
activities.
I look forward to welcoming all of you when we
celebrate Rosh Hashana together on Thursday,
September 9 with a family service from 10:00-
11:30. Tashlich will take place on Thursday
afternoon by the water at Roger Williams Park.
On Friday, the Cohen School will provide
supervised free play for young children from
10:00-12:30. Please plan your holiday
celebration accordingly.
The Bureau of Jewish Education is holding its
annual state-wide teacher conference on
Sunday, September 12. The opening date for

Librarian’s Corner by Laura Steele, Torat Yisrael Librarian

I hope you are all enjoying a relaxing summer. A new book to our library collection and one which I
found interesting is a biography of Benjamin Disraeli, written by Adam Kirsch.

Kirsch reveals the complex, contradictory nature of a man born a Jew and raised in the Christian
faith, a man who celebrated his Jewish heritage yet refused to join a campaign in 1840 to save Jews
in Damascus from government sponsored torture. Liberal in his political outlook, Disraeli was both
distrusted and resented by the conservatives in the House of Commons, but was also indispensable to
their cause.

More than fifty biographies have been written about Benjamin Disraeli. Unlike his predecessors,
Kirsch focuses his attention, not so much on Disraeli's political career, but on the psychological effects
of his Jewish heritage. Kirsch examines how Disraeli and his contemporaries depicted Jews and
Judaism in literature, and considers how such representations influenced social behavior and thought
during the time of Disraeli's rise to power. Throughout the book, Kirsch provides fascinating details
from Jewish history.

Benjamin Disraeli is the tenth book in the Schocken Books/Nextbook "Jewish Encounters" series. An
exceptional portrait of an intriguing figure, this book will particularly appeal to those readers
interested in studying the history of Jewish thought.

Jewish Seniors Agency Adult Day Services

What is an adult day center and who goes there? At To Life Center Adult Day Services, a program of
Jewish Seniors Agency, we answer these questions and a whole lot more.

Adult day services are designed to meet the needs of adults who require supervised care during the
day while returning to their homes or the homes of their loved ones in the evening. At the To Life
Center, we take into account the needs of seniors as well as the role of the caregiver.
4
Our programs are designed to enable seniors to partake in social activities that stimulate both their
minds and bodies. The value of attending To Life Center Adult Day Service outweighs any
misconceived notion about what the program is. Seniors from time to time need more social
interaction with their peers while requiring some personal care. The stress that is taken away
knowing that an adult day center provides a multitude of services and assistance only enhances a
loved one’s mental and physical well being.

The To Life Center offers an individualized plan of care to best serve each person attending. Included
activities are: supervision, kosher meals and snacks, group and individual activities, daily exercise,
health monitoring, manicures, medication management, spa services, specialized diets, trips,
intergenerational programs, therapeutic art activities, pet therapy, podiatry services, transportation,
holiday celebrations and a whole lot more.

Potential clients and their families are encouraged to visit the To Life Center for lunch or a tour to see
first hand what putting life into living is all about. Call Susan Adler at 621-5374 or email at sadler-
jeri@jsari.org.

What makes us so special?
