GLANCE
ANNUAL HIGH HOLY DAY PERSONAL CARE ITEM DRIVE
CONTINUES THRU OCTOBER 17
We will be collecting personal care items throughout the High Holy Days to benefit the Harvey Kornblum
Jewish Food Pantry.
ALL PERSONAL CARE ITEMS NEEDED
Toilet paper, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, body lotion, disposable razors,
shaving cream, diapers, feminine protection products, and bandages. The need for personal care items is great, as
these products generally cannot be purchased with food stamps.
We’ll have volunteers and special collection barrels available at Yom Kippur services. Items can also be brought to the
Temple at any time and placed in the collection barrels by the May Chapel building entrance through Friday, October 17.

yet another project awaits completion; the even more
dramatic renovation of the Gall Family Sanctuary in its
everyday layout, replete with new bimah, new ritual
objects, a new ark and more.
A strange thing has happened, though. With each
wonderful new change in the building, I find myself
discovering something else that needs to be done.
Our worship space is complete; what about our school,
the bridge, accessible entrances? It can be truly
overwhelming!
I have heard that this is a phenomenon that many
people experience when remodeling their homes.
Once you make one change, you see everything else
that could be done to make it even better. I’d like to

it’s not about insatiability. It’s about spiritual growth.

We start a weekly exercise regimen and realize that
we might feel even better if we also changed our eating
habits. We find one old friend on Facebook and reach
out to more, seeing how fun it is to reconnect with old
friends. We come to Shabbat services or Torah study
and realize how much calmer and more at peace we
seem during the week, and that perhaps we should
attend more often!
Sometimes it only takes a little change to help us see
what we are lacking in our lives and what we could do
to make it all a bit better. May this be a year when we
improve ourselves, one step, one brick at a time, and
find ourselves beginning each day with a renewed
vision of who we are and what our true potential is.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dee A. Mogerman
Welcome home! We return to Temple Israel to worship together in our beautiful new sanctuary for this High
Holy Day season. We began with the repair of our roof and have renovated the Gall Family Sanctuary, Isserman
Auditorium, Kriegshaber and Shoenberg foyers and surrounding areas to fit our current and future needs.
After the High Holy Day season our sanctuary will be transformed into an intimate, flexible space we will be
proud to use during the rest of the year. These renovations were completely paid for with the Livnot pledges
from our generous donors. We still have much work to do as we reinvigorate the Livnot Campaign to fund future
improvements to the rest of our campus, and we are excited about the possibilities.
The year 5775 will be a rededication year for Congregation Temple Israel. Events are planned throughout the
year which will allow each of us to celebrate and rededicate ourselves to our TI community. Our Time to Shine
Gala on November 16; tikkun olam projects such as Pies with a Purpose and our Thanksgiving Dinner for those
in need; and educational, social, and worship opportunities will focus on this theme throughout the year.
I look forward to being together as we celebrate our future.
Wherever you may be along your Jewish journey, there is a place for you in our Temple Israel community.
May you find your place at Temple Israel during the year 5775.

WELCOME NEW STAFF!
Be sure to introduce yourself to Melanie and Becky the next time you’re at the Temple.
We extend a warm welcome to Melanie Thiede, who has joined our Temple staff as administrative
assistant to the Executive Director and Board of Trustees. Melanie was previously an accounting
clerk with Jewish Family and Children’s Service. She received her bachelor’s degree in accounting
from Webster University. When not at TI, you can usually find Melanie shuttling teenage daughters
Kaitlyn and Hannah to before and after school activities.
We also welcome Becky Wientge as our new Education Office manager. She is providing
administrative support to both our Deutsch Early Childhood Center and our Religious and
Hebrew School programs. While Becky is new to the position, she is no stranger to Temple Israel!
She previously was our kitchen manager and last year taught at DECC. Becky has a bachelor’s
degree in elementary and early childhood education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis,
and a master’s degree in education from Lindenwood University, with certification in reading.
Becky and Joe Wientge are the parents of DECC students Karolyn and Gabriella, and are
expecting their third child in December.
