So. to love the Lord <Jur God with all our heart
and soul nnd migh t, as is commanded, is simply to
study and follow, d iligently, ns the Bible says. all the
commandmenls, slntutcs, precepls and judgments,
as given in the Fi\•e Books or Moses, which, wc know.
is all God-given, Moses being the receiver and wrnct
directly from God, the Creator or tl:c universe and
m!lll.
Father end son relationship is the best enrthly
example that can be given in interpreting the teaching or this divine commandm~mt:
A good father wanu hi$ 1011 ro do naht auJ learn

PSTEIN
This Holy commandment or our God has no doubt sti rred the hearts and
bnffied the minds or many truth seekers, religious and otherwise, from the
time it was given to Moses, God's servant, as to how to carry it out in every
day lire - how to interpret it in term~ or cond uct and act ion, townrd God,
our fellow men nnd our own selL
However. in studying God's re,·elati\ln to mankind in our Holy Scriptures, especially the Ten Commandments which stnnd out as rundnmentnl
and most important Cor the perfect ion o! the character o r man - refinement. kindness and justice, we strongly perceive th:tt the w:~y Cod wishes
us to love Him is to follow :ttl His commandments, laws a nd precepts, and
none othe r. Cor this teaching only can ml\ke us li ve like perfectly civilized
hum;m beings, with kindness or heart and purity or mind, and have the
knowledge o! the truth about God as our Creator, the world as His creation
und mon tiS th ~ rN·ipicn t o r His truth and the follower or it.
T hough incredible to mnny people, It Is nevertheless oil truo nnd we
plainly sec when studying the Holy &ripturcs, tho Five Books or Moses in
particul ar, that God loves and cores C mankind, whom He has created,
or
the Jewish people especially, and that lie has created us and all mankind
to serve Him (the Jews for special service as teachers nnd guides to t he
world), nnd, while serving Him, enjoy a glorious spiritual liCe, with true
knowledge nnd enlightcnrncnl, wisdom nnd understanding, together with
material abundance, yielding peace and serenity in lhoing. and joy and
happiness - an e nhanced, elevating and cont ented life.
And we understand through the s tudy o{ the Holy &:l'iptures that God
is our Heavenly Father and is All-good, All-kind and All-merciful. as Allmighty - that He desires only the well-being o( His children and the filling
of His world with the divine truth thai He alone is God and no other- that
He is the Lord and Ruler of the unh·erse which lie has creltled, and that He
sustains it and mn.int11ins it.

disappointment, which is frequently experienced.
particularly by those who make money their objec·

We can see from the study of the Bible, and
through prayer and our own experience and reason·
ing. that the following are the major and minor ways
in which to express our love for God, the Divine
Deity and Almighty:
1. To love to study God's laws, and to tecclt litem
to our cltifdrc rr, as is definitely commanded. II we do
not teach them to our childr·en. we Cnil \\1 pr~erve
and perpetuate their n"ble principles; ar•d we do our
children great harm by depriving them of these God·
given instructions for living. And we si n against God .

Dr. Sidney E. Unger. Rabbi Emeritus
I I
R
obbi Sidney E.
came to Beth Ho-Tcphila in 1946 :rom Congrcg•tion Beth Elohim, Charleston. South Car-.>lina. at the in,dgation of
Joseph Dave. who hod beon hi.\ fellow-Mudent and close frientl at the Uni·
vmity of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Dr. Unger brought honor to the Congre£alic-n in :nany ways. He was
made a member of the Executive Board of the Central Conference of Ameri·
can Rabbis in 1947. He w<U <elected to receh·e the honoury degree,
Doctor of Divinity, b)' the Hebrew Union College, Jewish Institute of Rc·
ligion. He was also made an honorary member of the Mt . Hermon Masonic
Lodge of Asheville.
Rnbbi Unger's leadership cxtctoded into the community ot tlot very
onset of his tenure. From the !irst wc-c:k of hi~ arrival, ond continuing for
seventeen years, he conducted a half-hour weekly radio program, "Hear Oh
lunel" over Station WWNC. He instituted. Jnd moderated, the T own Hnll
Meeting of the Air. in which all a.pecu of life were discussed, with guest
$peakcrs Dr.d audience participa:.ioo.
Dr. Unger had the distinction of being the nm and only recipient in
t\$he-·il1e of a certiflcnte of recognition presented by the Conference of
Christians und Jews. It came about In this way. When the Ministtl> Association of Asheville ond Buncombe County in\ited Dr. Unger to become a
member. he refused, explaining that the group was entirely Protestont, and
white. When the org>nization was later broadened to include all taiths and
color1i, he became a member, and later served
&S
i~ president.
The Social Hall in the Temple was named Ubgcr Hall in recognition of
his untiring elfons on beh•lf of Beth Ha·T~philn. In 1961. the Si.\tcrhood
commissioned Mary Beth Suchhol:t. B distinguished painter in the communi!)', to paint a poruai: of the Rabbi. It wru presented t~ him. and now
hangs in the ' '"'tibuk of the Temple.
For Rabbi Unger, Judaism ha.< always been based upon the ideo of n
triple responsibility for it< people. This called for the makins possible o( n
House of ('royer.f!tth /Ia· Ttphila: a H ouse of Study, Bttlr Ha-Midra.r/1, and
a House of Mcettng. llrrl1 1/cr~Kennt!~t'tiJ. \Vhatcvc.r WM undcnalccn hnd
this >;>irit behind it. Uce<tuse of it, Rabbi Unger enjoyed tlemcndous satis·
!a~liO~ when called upon to play the port he did v.ithin the Congregation. ns
well as within the community

Asheville, North ~II no 28814
As you read through this Centennial Book, •.1o1hich proudly acknowledges the efforts
and accorr.plishments of our congregation and its leaders through the past one hundred
years, 1 hope that it will reaffirm to each of you, as it has to me, how fo rtunate we are to
be a part o f Cong.regatlon Beth Ha-Te phlla.
It is, indeed, a challenge to begin my term as President of this Temple at such a
time, when p:anning for the future is fo remost in each of our minds. Seeking to make
great strides forward as we begin the next period in our hi~tory should be our goal as a
congregation, and I am confident that, with your willingness and cooperation during this
next year, we can make a significant impact-one that will be worthy o f recognition in the
years to come.
To Temple Beth Ha- Tephlla,
Congregation Beth Israel extends Its heartiest congratulations on your
centennial celebration.
As It Is •rltten In the Zohar,
"A synagogue should be finely built and ccmfortllbly fum/shed.

When I came to Asheville in 1946 the Temple
was still on th<' comer of Spruce and Woodfin
~treets. At that time the congregation was growmg as people's lives returned to a more normal
pace after the end of World War II.
The members of our Temple were cordial and
interes ted in all newcomers - but rather clannish.
However,\ made up my mind early on tha\ this was
going to be my "Jewish family" in this, my new
country. So,liltiP. by little, we fell more accepted.
l remember pushing the stroller with our first
baby. L~~n five months old, from our first home on
Henrietta Street to attend the groundbreaking and
cornerstone laying for our l:.ig. new house of
worship.
Later on we r~joiced wh<!n our children could
attend Religious School in Unger Hall, where
movable partltions divided the different classes.
Uttle did I know then that l would be teaching there
lor thirteen years!
Right from the start "flncle Gus" Uchtenfels.
Helen Gumpert's father, invited us to sit with him
In the third row in the n"wTemple, where a special
amplifier earphone was attached to his pew because he was very hard of hearing. Yet he still
grumbled and grunted, expressing his frustration
by calling ooJt in a loud voice. "I can't hear a damn
thing!" The congregation got used to this. He was
devoted to the Temple and delighted with its
growth of membership. Since some of his children
and all of 1-oi• grandchildren had moved away, he
once mentioned to me that the time was fast
approaching when "his row• wo uld be empty. 1
promised him that I woulc1 sit there whenever
p.osslble, and l have done so in his memory ever
sanee.
We have come a long way as a congregation.
The Religious .S chool (now shared with a Jewishoriented preschool), our new organ and modem
kitchen all enhance this Temple. But none of these
~a~ s.ubs~itute fo r the spirit that is brought in by the
and1V1dual members through their attendance and
participation In all activities.
As the Cha nukah candles remind us of the
ble~~ings of religious freedom, which we often
take for granted,let us dedicate ourselves anew to
our Congregation Beth Ha-Tephila.

One of the most
brilliant highlights
of our Centennial
Year Observances
was the Shabbat
Music Celebration
on February !5.
Made possible by
the Dave family to
honor the memory
of Joseph Dave, the
evening was distinguished by the p resence of
Cantor Max Janowski, who traveled from Chicago
to conduct our singers in the service liturgy. He
composed and conducted the evening's service
music and concluding mini<oncert.
Muriel Marks, Centennial chairperson. wrote:
•Joseph Dave was the catdyst behind our present
choir and music d irector. In 1935, at the old
Temple on Spruce Street, Mr. Dave sang along
woth tloe organist. Over the years a choir was
formed, with some members remaining a nd oth·
ers leaving. Sara Goldstein joined the choir. They
sa ng only for the High Holy Days until the move to
the new Temple on our present site.
"Mr. Dave always sang fro m the audience.
competing with Rabbi Unger. This continued for
many years, at times a full choir, at limes just the
beautiful voice of Joseph Dave rang out in the
sanctuary, until the arrival of Dr. Fra nk Edwinn as
music director.
' As a tribute to Joseph Dave the 'Joseph Dave
Choir Fund' was formed by the Dave family. Thus
we are assured o f the never-ending beauty of the
liturgical music in our Tempi~. For this we are
deeply Indebted to Joseph Dave and the Dave
family."
Jerome Dave, a son of Joseph, speaking from
the Bima, cited those who have been instrumental
in providing beautiful music for our congregation
throughout the years including Marianne Rhymer,
Sara Goldstein, Dr. Frank Edwinn, Margaret
Ensley, Olllie Reynolds, and Jean Valerio. our
current organist and choir director. He presented
a commemorative plaque to each o f them. In turn
a plaque was presented by Temp!e President Bob
Janowitz in honor of Joseph Dave and the Dave
family, and in memory of Joseph Dave's dedication to the Temple's Music Program. which was
accepted by Jerome Dave.
The ever.:ng ended with a gala champagne
reception in Unger Hall. arra nged by Anna
Friedman.
MAX
.JANOWSKI
Max Janowski's
compositions number in the hundreds,
including liturgical
pieces, folk songs,
children's songs,
c;:horal
works,
orchestral works,
orato rios, cantatas
and Sabbath services. Th~ variety, •cope and
beauty of his music earnPd for Max Janowski his
reputation as one of the foremost composers and
performers o f Jewish music.
Growing up in Berlin, Germany, Max began
playing the piano at the age of four. At age twelve
he h6d his first a ppointment as assistant organist
in one of Berlin's largest syn agogues. A successful com petition led to his selection liS head of the
piano depa rtment of the Mosashino Academy of
Music in Tokyo.
Max emigrated to this country in 1937 and was
accepted as music director al the K.A.M. Temple,
the oldest synagogue in Chicago.

�Our Future Is In Your Hands ...
As we celebrate the Centennial of Congregation Beth ha-Tephila and
reminisce about the events of the past I 00 years, we must also consider our
future.
One very important- in fact essential- element which will ensure that
Congregation Beth ha-Tephila will have a future is providing the necessary
funding to enable the Temple to continue the services we all enjoy.
Please consider the various alternatives available to you in presenting
a gift to our Congregation. Whether you remember Congregation 3eth
ha-Tephila in your Will, set up a Special Trust, or prefer to make a special
donation while you are still living, every member can make a significant and
deeply appreciatied contribution to Beth ha-Tephila. Our Treasurer can
assist you in arranging for you tllx-free gift or help direct you to app ropriate
legal counsel.
Let's do all we can to give our Congregation the opportunity fo r a
Bicentennial Celebration!

�Our Future Is In Your Hands ...
As we celebrate the Centennial of Congregation Beth ha-Tephila and
reminisce about the events of the past I 00 years, we must also consider our
future.
One very important- in fact essential- element which will ensure that
Congregation Beth ha-Tephila will have a future is providing the necessary
funding to enable the Temple to continue the services we all enjoy.
Please consider the various alternatives available to you in presenting
a gift to our Congregation. Whether you remember Congregation 3eth
ha-Tephila in your Will, set up a Special Trust, or prefer to make a special
donation while you are still living, every member can make a significant and
deeply appreciatied contribution to Beth ha-Tephila. Our Treasurer can
assist you in arranging for you tllx-free gift or help direct you to app ropriate
legal counsel.
Let's do all we can to give our Congregation the opportunity fo r a
Bicentennial Celebration!
