1 TIDINGS OF ZION Elul 5778/Tishri 5779 MT. ZION CONGREGATION, Sioux Falls, South Dakota September 2018 From the Student Rabbi... Shalom! My name is Sam Schauvaney. I am a third-year rabbinical student at Hebrew Union College (HUC) in Cincinnati, Ohio. I grew up in St.Paul, MN with my parents and my younger sister. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Madison in 2016 with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies and a minor in Education. After Rabbinical School, I hope to get a job as a congregational Rabbi Educator. In my free time, I enjoy reading, crocheting, swimming, and playing with my two cats. I am really excited to get to know everyone at Mt. Zion Temple and to spend the year learning together.

Dakota Diaspora: Jews in South Dakota and Transfer of Memory exhibits opened to the public at Dakota Discovery Museum in Mitchell on May 15th. The exhibit and accompanying program are the result of a collaborative partnership between Dakota Discovery Museum, the Jewish Community Relations Council for Minnesota and the Dakotas, and Dakota Wesleyan University. Multiple program events are scheduled for the summer and early fall, with the ENTIRE EXHIBIT CLOSING SEPTEMBER 15TH. Hours for the museum are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Regular admission rates are $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, $3 for children 7-17, and free for children 6 years and younger. People of Jewish descent entered Dakota Territory in the 1870s during the Black Hills Gold Rush. Dakota Diaspora: Jews in South Dakota is a museum exhibit that includes photographs, art, artifacts, interviews and six program events with discussion components that tell the story of Jewish people in South Dakota s history and their cultural contribution, said Rod Brown, manager at Dakota Discovery Museum. A significant component is the work of Dakota Wesleyan students who conducted interviews, networked with various South Dakota Jewish families, and acquired exhibit items on loan. Transfer of Memory, a traveling exhibition from the Jewish Community Relations Council for Minnesota and the Dakotas, portrays the stories of Holocaust survivors who settled in the Midwest, particularly Minnesota, following World War II. The exhibits are sponsored by Dakota Discovery Museum with help of the Jewish Community Relations Council for Minnesota and the Dakotas, as well as the South Dakota Humanities Council; Mount Zion Temple, Sioux Falls; Congregation B Nai Isaac, Aberdeen; Synagogue of the Hills, Rapid City; and contributions from Drs. Mike and Lesta Turchen, both of Hill City and former faculty members of DWU; and the McGovern Center at Dakota Wesleyan University. Brown and the Rev. Joel Allen, associate professor of religion at Dakota Wesleyan, have worked with DWU students and South Dakota residents to collect artifacts and conduct interviews for the Dakota Diaspora exhibit. The B nai Isaac Synagogue in Aberdeen has loaned the museum a model of the synagogue; the original sign for the building; Seder dishes The Seder is a commemoration service and dinner marking the beginning of Passover; two tallits, which are prayer shawls; and a banner, which is used to cover the ark that contains the synagogue s Torah scrolls. One of the Seder dishes tells the story of the Exodus, Brown added. Herschel and Bea Premack, of Aberdeen, loaned the exhibit a framed house blessing in Hebrew; a mezuzah, which is a vital element to an observant Jewish home; and several dreidels, which are children s toys. Synagogue of the Hills in Rapid City has lent the Deadwood Torah Scroll to the exhibit, which was most likely created during the mid-19th century in central Europe. Other items also lent include a shofar, a musical instrument made from the horn of an animal, and an 18-inch tall brass menorah. YAHRZEITS In memory of Edna Hiatt from Judy Lampert In memory of Bernard Koplow from Judy Lampert In memory of Margaret Elmer from Freda & Dick Hosen In memory of Fred & Margaret Harris from Freda & Dick Hosen In memory of Eli & Agnes Hosen from Dick & Freda Hosen In memory of Bessie Kaufman from Dick & Freda Hosen In memory of Allan (Sonny) Radin from Sandy Radin In memory of Dr. I.D.

The group included Matilda Oppenheimer, Stuart Jacobs, Rob Peterson, Ann Peterson and David Nachenberg. Rob Peterson had the high game of the night, rolling a 134 in the second game. All had a good time, and consensus is that there should be more bowling nights in the future. Baseball Babble: A small group from Mt. Zion Congregation attended a Sioux Falls Canaries minor league baseball game on July 20, Mitch Glasser, the Canaries second baseman is one of the few Jewish players in the American Association, and he was on Team Israel in the qualifying games for the World Baseball Classic.
