New York (JTA) — A syn-
agogue should be like a ser-
vice station, according to
Rabbi Arthur Oleisky.
"Some people come here
for gas, some for a tuneup,
others for a major overhaul.
We have to be ready for all of
them all the time," said the
spiritual leader of Congrega-
tion Anshei Israel, in Tuc-
son, Ariz.
At a time when syn-
agogues are being urged to
reconsider their mission and
expand their programs to
serve the needs of every
segment of the Jewish com-
munity, Rabbi Oleisky's
congregation is providing an
unusual service, but one
that observers say more
synagogues should emulate.
Anshei Israel, a 1,000
member Conservative con-
g,regation, has on staff a so-
cial worker who works
specifically with the syn-
agogues' pre-school
educators, students and
their parents, to deal with
the toddlers when they
behave anti-socially or act
out emotional problems.
Before the social worker
came to the congregation,
"we had to refer people who
needed counseling to Jewish
Family Services. This says
to parents that the syn-
agogue is concerned for
you," said Rabbi Oleisky.
Congregation Valley Beth
Shalom, a Conservative
synagogue in Encino, Calif.,
has taken the same idea fur-
ther by establishing a
counseling center open to
the community — synagogue
members and non-members,
Jews and non-Jews.
Clients come to work on
issues ranging from do-
mestic problems to dealing
with depression related to
mourning the death of a lov-
ed one.
The center is staffed by
synagogue members who
undergo a two-year training
program and are supervised
by professional psychiatrists
and psychologists.
While each of the peer
counselors must belong to
the synagogue, just about
one-quarter of clients are
members, according to Rabbi
Harold Schulweis, the syn-
agogue's senior rabbi.
The center's purpose is not
to bring in new members, he
said, but to "redefine the
parameters of the syn-
agogue."
Valley Beth Shalom also
offers weekly classes for de-
velopmentally disabled Jew-
ish children.
About 60 children and
teen-agers meet on Sundays
at the 1,700-member syn-
agogue, and once a year,
lead Shabbat services.
Some of them go on to
become bar and bat mitzvah.
While some of the chil-
dren's parents join Valley
Beth Shalom, most do not.
But recruiting new members
was never the point of the
program, said Rabbi
Schulweis.
The largest and fastest
growing segments of the
Jewish community are un-
married adults and senior
Harold Schulweis:
Parameters are re-defined.
citizens, and synagogues
around the country are
beginning to look at ways in
which they can serve these
expanding constituencies.
In Denver, a community
that had an intermarriage
rate of 72 percent in 1980, as
documented in a local demo-
graphic study, a Reform
temple began a computer
dating service for Jews.
The Colorado Jewish So-
cial Network was begun two
and a half years ago by Con-
gregation Emanuel and now
has between 700 and 800
participants from age 18 to
80, though most are in their
20s, 30s and 40s.
Thirty couples matched by
the network have married.
Temple Beth El, in Boca
Raton, Fla., has tailored
part-time memberships to
the "snowbird - population
of retired Jews who live in
the North during the warm
months and spend tilt-
winter in Florida. ❑
