From the Rabbis Study
I was initially going to write this bulletin article about the situ-
ation in Israel as it pertains to Iran, Syria and other countries
and parties in the region. All indications suggest that things are
rapidly moving toward a critical stage as Irans nuclear capabil-
ities move ever closer to reality and Israel is reportedly drawing
closer to a decision as to how to respond.
As I noted, I WAS going to write this bulletin article on the sub-
ject of Israel but things are likely to move so quickly that what-
ever I wrote now would be old news by the time you read it. In
addition, between the time I write this and you read it, I will be
spending a day in Washington DC for a briefing on the current
situation in the Middle East. As such, rather than use this space
to share some thoughts I will, instead, be updating our temple
website and iPhone app on a regular basis. I do, however, want
to share a few of the sources I read to gain a better understand-
ing of the socio-political situation. In particular I receive the
RSS feeds from
Honest Reporting http://honestreporting.com
IRAC- The Israel Religious Action Center.
http://www.irac-online.org
Camera- http://www.camera.org
The High Holy Days:
There has been some confusion with regard to the worship
schedule this Rosh Hashanah and I thought I would take a few
moments to clarify. We will welcome the New Year on Erev
Rosh Hashanah, Sunday, September 16, with one single service
that begins at 7:30 P.M. This way everyone in attendance will beable to welcome the New Year together as a temple family. At
5:30 P.M. we will welcome the New Year in an informal man-
ner with song and some sweet blessings. This is NOT a worship
service but is, instead, an opportunity for us to come together
as a community and share a few informal moments. (Think of
it like Rosh Hashanah Tailgate Party without the beer and
hotdogs.) :) Come, and then stay for worship. Or come, and then
go home and share a festive Rosh Hashanah meal. Our goal is to
have two different opportunities to be together to welcome the
New Year and have everyone participate in either or both.
The rest of the Holy Days worship schedule will remain the
same as in years past.
Temple Programming:
This fall promises to be as full and rich as I have ever seen. We
begin by formally welcoming Cantor Moses to the congregation
on Friday, September 7. The following week we will install our
Officers and Board of Trustees during a service many will help
lead! That brings us into the Holy Days which will culminate
with Simchat Torah on Monday, October at 6:00 P.M. This wont
be just any Simchat Torah service this year since it will also
celebrate the 30th Anniversary of TSTI. Cantor Aronson will be
back on his bimah to celebrate with us.
Add in all the regular programming and our new Health and
Wellness Center and, as you can see, there is a great deal hap-
pening at TSTI. More than ever before, we will be using ourwebsite, FaceBook, TSTI Twitter feed and iPhone app to share
important temple news, offer updates and insights into events
in the local and larger Jewish world AND have a conversation
about subjects that matter.
As the New Year begins, I want to take this opportunity to thank
you for the privilege of serving our congregation. I am constant-
ly reminded how lucky I am to serve a community like this and
that community only exists because of all of you.
Wishing you the sweetest Shana Tovah,

It is that time of year againthe High Holy Days will soon be
upon us. We hope youve had a most enjoyable, safe and healthy
summer.
In July, Renaissance presidents Matty and Dan Goldberg hosted
a brunch at their home to introduce our new Cantor, Rebecca
Moses and her husband Aaron to the Renaissance Steering Com-
mittee. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the morning. In case you
are not aware of what the Steering Committee does, they are the
people who meet periodically to plan the programs and lead the
various trips we take and as I am sure you will all agree, do a
most splendid job.
You will soon receive information in the mail about what we
will be doing for the 2012-2013 season. May you and your
families have a Happy Healthy New Year. LaShana Tova.
Renaissance Group
We all have a favorite piece of cloth-
ing. Maybe its an old pair of jeans thatare broken in really well. Perhaps its a
sweatshirt that has been washed until
it is the softest thing in your closet. It
could be a favorite scarf that you take out every winter that
keeps you warm and reminds you of the countless times you
have worn it before. We all have that piece of clothing that is as
much about memory as it is about apparel. Favorite songs can
be like that too.
The music of the High Holidays fills us with emotion. There
are pieces that are so dear that they are like old friends. Hear-
ing Max Janowskis Avinu Malkeinu instantly puts me in the
mindset to greet the New Year. Similarly, there is really nothinglike taking that breath before beginning the haunting melody of
Kol Nidre. These moments are just as much about the beautiful
music as they are about the memories I have associated with
them. I will never forget singing Avinu Malkeinu during ser-
vices in Jerusalem in a sanctuary with a panoramic view of the
Old City. Nor will I ever forget the year my mother leaned over
to me just before the beginning of Kol Nidre and whispered that
someday that would be me singing in front of my own congre-
gation. Those memories are priceless and I can feel them every
time I sing those prayers.
Another of these songs for me was Max Helfmans Shma Kole-
inu. Its such a powerful piece of music. The strong style of thispiece seems to demand that God listen to our prayer. I thought
there was no other way to sing this text. I was convinced that
nothing could match the power of Helfmans setting. Then I
heard Max Janowskis take on this piece. It was so different.
Rather than demanding that God listen, it requested Gods at-
tention in a much more plaintive way. I was taken aback by this
equally affective masterpiece of music. It was like I had found a
new favorite sweater. I felt dishonest to my old favorite. I real-
ized that it was okay to have more than one favorite. There was
room for both.
One of my favorite things about Jewish music is that while we
have a huge treasure trove of beautiful texts we have an evenlarger collection of music to go with it. Although there is only
one melody for Somewhere Over the Rainbow, there are count-
less melodies for many of our most beloved Jewish texts.
As we gear up for the High Holidays I have a favor to ask of you
all. I promise that there will be many of your favorite songs this
holiday season. There will also be songs that may be new to you.
I ask you to give them a chance. You never know, you may find a
new favorite among them.

The Presidents
Point of View
I do not know if it is an actual memory, or that my father told
me the story so many times it became etched in my memory. But
when I was five, my grandfather took my father and me to his
synagogue, the Brooklyn Avenue Z Synagogue, for Kol Nidre. At
some point in the service the Synagogue President came to the
bima, called out the names of the male members alphabetically
and the members would publically announce their Kol Nidre
pledge. When one man stood up and declared, I pledge
nothing! my grandfather whispered to us nobody likes him.
My grandfathers best friend would then announce his pledgeand when it was my grandfathers turn, he would always pledge
one dollar more than his best friend. Thankfully, I do not have
to preside over such a campaign.
Some years later, as a teenager, I would accompany my father
to Yom Kippur services. When it was time for Yizkor, he
would look at me and I knew I was supposed to leave. While
thankful not to have the need to stay, there was something quite
mysterious about Yizkor. I admit that I was curious. What were
they saying in there?
And, I will always remember the big family dinners. While
there was wonderful traditional Jewish food the picture thatstands out in my mind is the four old style bottles of seltzer on
the table. The seltzer was as important as the chicken soup or
brisket.
Our holidays are certainly a time for reflection and prayer.
But, to me, the greatest blessing of the holidays is that it brings
families together, (whether it be kids who return from college
or grandparents who stay north until the holidays come to an
end.) So for this New Year, in addition to my best wishes for
peace and health, I hope you share with your families events
that will become treasured memories in the years ahead.
The Officers and Trustees of TSTI
will be Installed during Shabbat Services,
Friday, September 14 at 6:00 PM.
We appreciate the dedication of our lay-leaders
to the well-being of our congregation.
Their support and their talents are recognized by all.

Religious School
Wow! What a summer! The Religious School staff and I spent the
summer recharging our spiritual and educational batteries, revving
up for another amazing year with our students! In early Augus
many of us were blessed to be able to attend NewCAJE- an annua
learning conference for Jewish educators that is held every summer
in a different location around the country. Thanks to a generous
grant from the Jewish Federation of Metrowest, five of our teachers
myself, Carol Paster and Cantor Finn were able to share a refresh-
ing, uplifting three days at Montclair State University. Together we
learned from Jewish leaders and educators all over the country whoshared their expertise in educating the next generation of Jews.
NewCAJE is like a trip to the candy store- there is so much to do
and see you dont know where to turn first! Every day is filled with
learning and experiencing Judaism in ways that are so exciting tha
you want to bring every single idea back to your school and share
it with your students.
Of course we had to pick and choose, so here is just a taste of wha
our students will experience this year: Our Sixth Graders are going
to learn about Israel through an exciting curriculum called Israel
Inside U: a hands on, up to the minute approach which inspires
students, reinforcing their feeling of pride in Israel while buildinga sense of belonging to the Jewish People. We are able to bring
this program to TSTI through the generosity of a donor and we are
very grateful and excited to enable our students to experience cut-
ting edge learning. Our Seventh Graders will have the opportunity
to experience many new electives, many of which will center on
connecting pop culture and Judaism. All of our students, from
the youngest to oldest will be worshipping together and interpret-
ing prayers in ways that bring new and relevant meaning to our
ancient guiding words. And there will be singing like you have never
heard! New songs by dynamic Jewish song-leaders have burst on
the scene; our students will be singing and dancing to their new
favorite Jewish tunes in no time! This year we will be blessed towork with Cantor Moses to build a strong connection between
classroom curriculum and our music program.
To say I am excited is an understatement, and as I sat around the
lunch table at NewCAJE with so many of our staff, I was reminded
why TSTI is such an amazing place to learn and grow. There is an
energy in this community that is palpable and unlike any other
and we are all so very blessed to be a part of it.

As we turn the hourglass over and the sands of time begin tofall on a new Temple season and a new year, we cant helpbut reflect on the Simcha Celebration of last spring to honorCantor Ted Aronson and his 45 year career at TSTI. Three
couples, long-time friends, and congregants of the Aronsonsserved as honorary chair people with the goal of creatingand crafting a memorable and fitting tribute for Ted. Bar-bara and Jon Green, Doris and Jeff Spector, and Linda and
Joel Scharf guided our mission with grace, style, caring andenergy.On May 18 we were treated to a wonderful musical Shabbatand the spiritual sounds of Noah Aronson, Cantors Romalis,Biddleman, Finn and Aronson. A spectacular Oneg Shabbatwas organized for our community by Matty Goldberg andher army of artisan bakers. The room was beautifully deco-rated by the handy work of Lynn Rainen and Heidi Suss-man. What a wonderful way to welcome Shabbat and to join
in song together.
Nearly three weeks later, more than 300 congregants,friends and family gathered on a beautiful Saturday eve-ning in June to once again fill our Temple home with music,laughter and love. Cantors 45-year legacy was brought toa crescendo in a Mediterranean inspired room full of thesights, sounds and tastes of Israel.Many hours and many talented volunteers helped con-tribute to this wonderful celebration. Special kudos toPeggy Barnett, Karen Masters, Heidi Sussman and RussellKaplan for creating a wonderful, uplifting Saturday nightcelebration filled with great vibes, food, drinks, music and
energy! The events were also memorialized with a com-memorative virtual tribute journal in honor of Cantor. JulesNissim skillfully led his team of volunteers Joe and CindySobelman, Breena Fishback, Annette and Harold Littman,Brett Harwood, Jack Fersko, Sue Nissim, Rob Ozer, and HopePomerantz. A hearty thanks to Ed Finkel and Sara Rudisil fortheir creative input and professionalism in planning for theentire event.
Our budget goals were met and the entire TSTI family willbenefit from the honorary tributes of many. We are ex-tremely grateful to all who helped to organize this wonder-ful event for Temple and all those who attended to sharein the joy of this Simcha Celebration and milestone in our
Temple history.
The Iris Family
I had mentioned in my last bulletin
article that I had registered for aninteresting series of three back-to-backconferences which created an odd
juxtaposition of experiences: the firstfor early childhood outdoor education on a farm, the next forwoodworking, and the last for Jewish educators. As expected,I was exposed to a variety of interesting, passionate people
gathered together in a series of self-selected workshops.In the first I was digging in the dirt, harvesting, prepping,cooking and sharing a meal as part of a Farm to Table event.As co-chair of this national conference, I was an insider. I feltvery comfortable.
At the Fine Wood Working Live conference I was one of 4women in a group of 200 male woodworkers. Although acomplete outsider as far as being involved in the planning priorto arrival, I felt as though I had come home. These people spokemy language. I felt very comfortable.
At the NewCAJE event, I was in a sea of Jewish adults, primarilywomen, dedicated to the religious education of children. Itwas a huge crowd, but I was part of a group of 7 other TSTIeducators. I felt very comfortable.
While my interests are divergent, there is a common thread thatconnects me to these groups--I felt as though I belonged; somemore so than others, but I belonged in some way.
I grew up always feeling like a minority and by default I becamefiercely independent. Because I have a passion for creativeoutlets that my peers dont share I deal with being the outsiderby finding a way to be a leader. Rather than being shy, keepingon the outskirts as a loner, I choose to get involved with theplanning and background work in an effort to fit in somehow.So how does this relate to the children I meet in both the earlychildhood and the religious school settings? I think they are allminorities at this point; they all feel like outsiders in some way,as do their parents. They are all unsure where they fit in theworld of friendships, interests or maybe their Judaic comfortlevel.
On my Facebook page I posted a quote, Be kind, for everyoneyou meet is fighting a hard battle. The preschool childrenare struggling with following societal rules, trying to sit still,learning to ride a tricycle or use the potty. Their parents arestruggling to get a full nights sleep and just one quiet dinnerthat can be eaten without interruption while its still hot. Theteachers in the preschool struggle to strike a balance betweenwhat parents want and what children need.
So how do we help children and parents with these struggles?How do we help them feel that they are insiders when theyenter the doors of TSTI? For myself, my comfort level ateach conference was a function of three factors: did I make
a connection with at least one person, did anyone share myinterests and did I feel accepted. I suggest that you try to drawthe shy ones out of their shells, embrace those who have yet tofigure out the social system of school or synagogue life, welcomeeach with a warm smile as though they are your own family.Put out your hand to a stranger at a Friday night service andintroduce yourself. In short, include them. And they will feel
very comfortable.

Womens
Connection
It was just past 6:00 in the evening. The sun was shining, the
tables were set, the cups waited for coffee (decaf, of course)
and the rosebuds in the vases added an elegant look. Thanks to
the capable hands of our maintenance team, Debbie and Jesse,
the mansion looked beautiful. Sangria was being mixed in the
kitchen. Suddenly the sky darkened and the clouds began to
roll in. There were some concerned trips to the window, some
questions of moving tables, but the decision was to hold firm
and expect the weather would cooperate. It did. In fact, it was
perfect. Over 50 women, including Rabbi Ellie Miller, Cantor
Rebecca Moses and Cantor Joan Finn gathered on the patio, ate,drank and talked well into the evening. It was a great chance to
relax, enjoy each others company, and get to know each other
just a little better. It was the perfect opening for the Womens
Connection 2012-2013 season.
We are looking forward to our next event on Thursday, October
11 - an evening with Linda Slucker, President of National Coun-
cil of Jewish Women (NCJW) and long-time member of TSTI.
Those who have heard Linda Slucker speak know that she is
informed and intelligent. Her dedication to Tikun Olam (mak-
ing the world a better place) is inspirational. This is an evening
you will not want to miss.
The entire 2012-2013 season promises to be filled with events
from wellness programs to book discussions with the Rabbi,
from a walking tour of Brooklyn to the Womens Connection
seder, Womens Connection provides an environment where
TSTI women of all generations can connect with one another,
building ties within the congregation. So join us. Membership in
the Womens Connection is just
$36. You can sign up at our
first event on October 11. A
Womens Connection brochure
of events will be mailed in
September. We look forward to
seeing you.

I am pleased to welcome Jodi Sherer as the Co-Coordinator for the IFP SoupKitchen. She has generously agreed to chair this worthwhile cause with me.She has already jumped in and has worked on our August event.
I also want to thank Debbie Granados for chairing with me temporarily andfor getting us started with this endeavor back in March. Thanks too, to BethZelnick-Kaufman who co-ordinates with Supreme Bakery for us and is helpingout as a Day Leader.
And, special thanks to all of you who make each serving possible. Without youmany of our neighbors would go hungry another day.
Sincerely, Robin Greenberg
