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
GLIÀFXOWLHV RI OLYLQJ ZLWK GHSUHVVLRQ DQ[LHW VXEVWDQFH XVH
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

J
ewish 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

Jewish Heritage Tour to Eastern Europe
(BERLIN-PRAGUE-BUDAPEST-KRAKOW-WARSAW)
March 31-APRIL 14, 2016
O
ur 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.
For a detailed itinerary and more information, please visit www.sestl.org/easterneurope or contact Gloria Schwartz at

Becoming Aware…of Breast Cancer
O
ctober, 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
QDWLRQDO QRQSURÀW RUJDQL]DWLRQ WKDW VXSSRUWV RXQJ ZRPHQ
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

Shaare the Vision
B
ack in August, I attended a
luncheon with members of our
Tzedek committee, clergy and staff.
7KH OXQFKHRQ ZDV WKH ÀUVW 'RLQJ 0RUH
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
XVH ZKLOH DOVR JURZLQJ RXU HQGRZPHQWV WR HQDEOH XV WR IXOÀOO
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 IS THIS?
Wise Aging is offered to us by The Institute for Jewish Spirituality, the same group that
Rabbi Goldstein introduced to our congregation through the Tikkun Middot project this
past year. The goal of Wise Aging is to discover the possibilities for living the years
ahead with joy, resilience and spirit. Wise Aging combines Jewish texts and practices
with poetry, experiential exercises, secular writings, and heartfelt dialogue, to challenge
participants to develop their own sense of what it means to “number their days” and
“grow a heart of wisdom.”
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
We will meet as a group six times for 1 1/2 hours each. Led by your guides, the sessions
will include mindful meditation, text study, discussion and contemplative listening. We will
provide you with texts about wise aging. No previous knowledge of any kind is required.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
There is no monetary cost. We ask that you give of your time, your enthusiasm, your
active participation and your feedback.
WHO ARE YOUR GUIDES?
Sharon Weissman and Debbie Bram both went through intensive training to guide our
congregations Wise Aging Program.
Sharon has been a member of Congregation Shaare Emeth for thirty years. After
receiving her MSW, Sharon worked as a medical social worker. Sharon then completed
comprehensive chaplaincy training and worked as a chaplain for both hospice and
JFCS. She has chaired our Caring Committee. Sharon brings her knowledge, warmth
and passion to The Wise Aging program
Debbie is our Director of Jewish Life and Learning. She also has an MSW and received

What’s New At New
Mt. Sinai?
T
here’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
GLVFRXQWHG UDWH RQWDFW RXU RIÀFH WRGD DQG PDNH DUUDQJHPHQWV
to have your loved ones’ resting place “spruced up.”
