In your list of

voting priori-

ties, where

does a candi-

date’s position

on Israel rank? If this policy

outlook is important to you,

then the immediate challenge

is to determine what the candi-

date really feels about Israel.

And that’s not always easy to

do, given the difficulty of finding

an unfiltered interpretation of a

candidates’ stated position.

That’s why one of my recent

reads, and the subject of this

month’s issue of The Rabbi’s

Nightstand, is a book by Bar

Ilan University’s chair of the

political science department,

Jonathan Rynhold. The book,

The Arab-Israeli Conflict in

American Political Culture,

tracks current trends in Ameri-

can politics through the lenses

of party ideology and faith. It’s

a data-based study that doesn’t

fall prey to emotional analyses.

It’s sober, but it doesn’t need to

be sobering, for like Dennis

Ross in his book Doomed to

Succeed, which I reviewed in

this space a few months ago,

Rynhold is secure in his belief

that America will always be a

loyal ally to Israel. In his own

final words: ―…the underlying

Bereavement Support

Cantor Sol Zim

♫ ♫ ♫

The Bereavement Support

Group meets the First and

Third Monday night of the

month at 7:30 PM with

compassionate, caring,

warm and concerned

friendly people.

Refreshments are always

served and are complimen-

tary. All faiths are welcome.

Led by Rabbi Dr. H. Joseph

Simckes and Marty

Kevelson.

I am now sitting at my desk in

my home putting together some

of my thoughts as we approach

the New Year. In the back-

ground, I can hear the tumult

downstairs…June is starting to

prepare for the holidays and as

she finalizes the menu, she is

taking stock of what she al-

ready has and putting together

a list of what she needs to get.

Oy…what a list! If I gain an-

other 5 pounds, you’ll under-

stand. The only thing I asked

her to make sure we have is

honey…I love the custom of the

new fruit with honey and I al-

ways keep some on the side for

challah. Delicious & Traditional!

I am praying for a sweet year

for all of us!

As we approach the New Year

(5777) I find myself reflecting

on the past year with tremen-

dous warmth, nostalgia as well

as incredible hope for the fu-

ture. It was a beautiful and re-

warding year for our congrega-

tion. I had just completed cele-

brating my Jubilee year at my

beloved Synagogue and I will

never forget the beautiful times

we shared together during the

Dinner Dance, Concerts, etc.

Now we are embarking on a

new phase as we join with our

friends of the Bayside Jewish

Center and set sail together on

our new journey as the Hollis

Hills Bayside Jewish Center

(HHBJC). Thank you to all for

making this happen! As I said

before, I believe this was

BASHERT! It took some time

but now we are one family!

I want to take this time to re-

member the very dear and pre-

cious members whom we lost

this past year. They were very

special people who were an

integral part of our congrega-

tional family for many years

and they will surely be missed

and remembered. May Hashem

watch over them as they rest in

peace.

As we plan the New Year, I

would like to give you some

dates to mark in your Calen-

dars. **SAVE THE DATE** Our

GALA CONCERT will be held

on SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4th

at 3:00 PM. I have some sur-

prises planned for this concert.

Not only will we experience and

hear some beautiful voices in

song (Yours truly included),

with an array of eclectic musi-

cal genres, but get ready for

some hilarious laughter! This

concert will not only be a Musi-

cal Extravaganza but it will also

be an afternoon filled with hu-

mor & laughter! Reserve the

date in your calendars…

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4th at

3PM. Location to be an-

nounced soon.

Many people have been asking

me when we will have more of

our Yiddish Classes…Well, it’s

happen ing…*SAVE THE

DATES*…Our Yiddish classes

will take place on MONDAY,

NOVEMBER 7th and MONDAY,

Israel sentiment in America are

so robust that the special rela-

tionship between Israel and the

United States will remain virtu-

ally unbreakable‖ (p. 188)

That’s the easy part. Particu-

lars of party and religious out-

look aside, Israel will always be

closely allied with the US, re-

gardless of who sits in the Oval

Office or holds a majority in the

House. Now comes the hard

part—determining how a candi-

date’s ideology and even faith

will color his or her attitudes

toward Israel. This next para-

graph describes the intersec-

tion between American identity

and feelings about Israel, and

may help explain why some

think that party affiliation deter-

mines one’s outlook. Rynhold

writes:

―Indeed, the Arab-Israeli con-

flict evokes such passionate

debate precisely because it

touches on core elements of

American identity. Thus, for

liberals, sympathy for Israel is

rooted primarily in the Ameri-

can creed, specifically Israel’s

identity as a democracy. Be-

cause liberalism is at the core

of that creed, they expect Israel

to live up to those values…On

the other hand, while Conser-

vatives also support Israel be-

cause it is a democracy, they

give greater weight than liber-

als to the place of Israel in the

ethno-religious dimension of

American identity…‖ (p. 182)

Rynhold notes a significant dif-

ference in pro-Israel attitudes

between evangelical Christians

and mainline Protestants. For

(Rabbi Wise Continued from page 1) example, citing a 2012 Pew

Research Center study, 67 per-

c e n t o f E v a n g e l i c a l s

―sympathize with Israel over

the Palestinians,‖ compared

with 47 percent of Mainliners.

What are the religious roots of

such a discrepancy? For Evan-

gelicals, ―a sense of being bibli-

cally commanded to support

the Jewish people coupled with

a sense that support for Israel

is linked to biblical prophecies

about the end times undergird

that support‖ (p. 114). On the

other hand, for some Mainlin-

ers, anti-Israel sentiment is in-

formed by a variety of religious

influences, such as Liberation

theology, which celebrates

Jewish exile and does not allow

for Jewish national self-

determination (p. 129). But,

Rynhold notes, the anti-Israel

faction of Mainline Protestant

denominations is not even in

sync with their clergy and the

mainline public. Besides, their

numbers are dwarfed by the

Evangelicals.

These theological issues may

explain why some Jewish vot-

ers struggle to identify with cer-

tain candidates for office, be it

for President or other elected

positions. What if we’re entirely

in sync with a candidates’ do-

mestic policy, but wonder about

his/her pro-Israel bona fides?

What if we know a politician is

staunchly pro-Israel, but find

his/her domestic platform

anathema to our values? Ryn-

hold’s book won’t solve those

inner conflicts, but it can help

us understand the impact of

wisdom and inspiration!

Welcome Back To

Ohr Chadash

Sunday September 11th

,

marked the start of the new

school year at Ohr Chadash.

After weeks of preparation, reg-

istration and completion of the

summertime move to Hillcrest

Jewish Center, the new year of

learning began.

This year, the first day of

school coincided with the 15th

anniversary of the 9/11 trag-

edy. During the brief opening

ceremony, at which children

and parents had an opportunity

to meet the staff and reunite

with friends, a moment of si-

lence was observed. Morah

Judy presented a brief program

for Kitot Aleph-Gesher about

the importance of remembering

and learning from such life al-

tering tragedies. Each class

held their individual age appro-

priate commemoration with

their teacher.

The very popular Rabbi Parent

learning series resumed this

year. On September 11th, Rab-

bis Fryer Bodzin, Kogan and

Wise presented ―How to Talk to

Your Children about Tragedy

and Suffering. The parents who

attended found the talk infor-

mative and helpful. Four more

sessions are planned covering

topics including, bullying, God,

Israel and children’s bodies.

This year, with Rosh Hashanah

(Jewish New Year) and the

many holidays in the month of

Tishrei being celebrated in Oc-

tober, the teachers had an am-

Shalom! Now that the cool

days of fall are upon us, and

we have celebrated the High

Holy Days, we are looking for-

ward to another year of exciting

events with the Sisterhood.

Our paid-up membership

brunch was a great success.

Everyone enjoyed good food

and hearing Maris Blechner

speak.

The Pink Ladies of the Hollis

Hills Bayside Jewish Center will

be participating in the Making

Strides Against Breast Cancer

walk on Sunday October 16th.

We will be meeting at the cen-

ter at 8am to car pool.

Our Torah Fund brunch will

take place on Sunday, Novem-

ber 13th at 10am. The Torah

Fund honoree will be past

president and active member

Carol Lieber, who has worked

tirelessly for the Sisterhood.

The Torah Fund is an integral

part of the Sisterhood and the

National Women’s League of

Conservative Judaism allowing

us a direct avenue to support

Conservative Judaism and the

Jewish Theological Seminary.

We are looking forward to Sis-

terhood members supporting

this function.

On December 11th we will

have a Chanukah bazaar.

There will be vendors selling a

variety of goods making your

holiday shopping easier.

ple opportunity to teach and

prepare the children for Rosh

ha Shana, Yom Kippur, Sukkot

and Simchat Torah. A special

Sukkah program is planned for

all the children on Hoshana

Rabba which occurs on Sun-

day, October 23.

On behalf of the staff of Ohr

stimulating and exciting school

year and wish students, parents

and all members of HJC,

HHBJC and ICCJ who support

and host our school and very

happy and healthy New Year.

H2I is off to a great start and

looking forward to an incredible

year ahead! We kicked off our

year with a Leadership Training

Shabbaton from 9/9-9/10 at

Hollis Hills Bayside JC with our

high school chapter board

members, who spent a Shab-

bat learning valuable leader-

ship skills that they will use as

they plan and execute our USY

programming this coming year.

On Sunday, September 11, our

regular programming kicked off

with the O-Rio Olympics for our

younger groups, who had their

own Olympic Games full of

events that used Oreo cookies,

while our USYers had a

―Summer’s Over…Back to Re-

ality‖ program in which they

took part in our take on some

of their favorite television reality

shows. Later in the month, our

younger groups participated in

Couch Potato, a video trivia

competition, as well as a Rosh

Hashanah cooking program in

which they learned how to

make a number of treats for the

holiday. Our USYers ended

summer with H2I Does H2O, a

program full of water games,

and enjoyed METNY USY

Kickoff at which they partici-

pated in a scavenger hunt at

the Museum of Natural History

with peers from across the NY

Metropolitan area.

Because of Jewish and secular

holidays, October is a quiet

month at H2I, although we are

looking forward to our Sukkah

Dinners on Thursday, October

20 – from 5-6 PM for Grades 2-

8 and 6:30-8 PM for Grades 9-

12 at Hillcrest Jewish Center.

Our Sunday programming re-

sumes after the holidays on

October 30, when our younger

groups will participate in laser

tag, while our USYers partici-

pate in a Social Actions pro-

gram coordinated by METNY

USY.

Looking ahead, our November

calendar includes great pro-

grams like Tie-Dye Night, Israel

Basic Training, and a Social

Actions Supermarket Sweep

scavenger hunt for our younger

groups, and Tie-Dye, Judaism

Around the World, and our an-

nual Social Actions Shul-In,

which will focus on the environ-

ment this year.

Our annual Sisterhood Shabbat

will be held on February 4. This

is one of our most spiritually

fulfilling events, where our

members lead the Shabbat

services from the beginning to

the end. Please begin to think

about a part that you have

never tried before, and for

which you would be comfort-

able volunteering. It has been

wonderful watching our mem-

bers change their roles each

year and experience new

pieces. We always look forward

to a beautiful service.

We are working on something

exciting for February. We will

keep you posted.

In March we celebrate the joy-

ous holiday of Purim as Sister-

hood prepares with our Purim

Project. Please be ready to

volunteer to assemble Purim

baskets on March 5th at

10:00am for distribution on

March 11th after the Megillah

reading. In April we will con-

tinue our tradition of the

Women’s Seder. This inspiring

event is a learning experience

as well as a social one.

We are planning a special

event in April that we are sure

you will enjoy. May will bring a

country-western hoedown with

the Men’s Club. June 14th will

be our end-term Challah bake.

Please join us at our upcoming

planning meetings on Wednes-

day, October 13th at 8:00pm.

We look forward to seeing you

at our upcoming events.

ommend? That said, I've de-

cided to reach out to you, the

membership, for names of any-

one. I want to create a list of

names so that I will have them

handy should anyone need it.

Please, email me at lau-

[email protected], or call me at

917-279-3032, with your rec-

ommendations.

Additionally, some members of

our committee have been col-

lectively working over the past

year to assemble information to

be printed in a Resource Guide

Book for HHBJC mem-

bers...We are at a standstill and

want to complete this guide for

the membership, but we want it

to be a very comprehensive

guide. If you have any agency

information for any of the fol-

lowing areas, please let me

know. There is no limit to the

information we can gather. I

need names, addresses and

telephone numbers.

Here is a guide to help, but is

not limited to the following:

Cancer Services and Informa-

tional Use

Senior Services

Elder Care Services

Financial Assistance Services

Pediatric Information/ Services

Tutoring Services

Youth Group Activities

Mental Health Care Services

Recreational: Sports, Music,

After-School Care, Park Ser-

vices

Medicare Specialists

Medicaid Specialists

The list is endless. The sooner

I can collate your ideas, and

the ones we already have, the

faster we can create a book.

Thank you, in advance , for

your help.

An Update From

the Green Team

By Maris Blechner

Engagement Committee

Hollis Hills Bayside Jewish Center

Every year we collect used

toys, books, and clothing for

children at several battered

women’s shelters that we know

about, through a specific Black

Hebrew Tabernacle. The items

are given out at a specific late

fall event to which the women

and children are invited.

This year, the Tabernacle is

asking our help with something

specific. The children at the

Tabernacle hardly ever, if at all,

get anything new. This year,

the goal is to provide them with

NEW toys and books. If you

have any new children’s toys or

books in your home that you

could donate, please bring

them to the office, where a box

will be provided to hold them.

If you need them picked up,

please just call 917-941-8640.

If you have no new children’s

toys or books to donate but still

want to help, we would greatly

appreciate your buying just one

item and bringing it in. It is

truly a mitzvah to improve the

life of a child in need.

Thank you on the children’s

behalf.

We are happy to tell you that

we have sent two more boxes

of eyeglasses to the Lions’

Club Eyeglasses Recycling

Program. We have sent at

least several hundred to date.

There is still a plastic box in the

hallway outside the office

where you can leave used eye-

glasses. (We also still happily

accept the tabs from soda and

Thank you from the Engage-

ment Committee…to everyone

who helped and/or attended

our Grandparents’ Shabbat. It

was a lovely morning, and

meaningful to us all.

Next year we will have an even

b i g g e r G r a n d p a r e n t s ’ /

Grandchildren’s event. If you

have any ideas, please don’t

wait to share them. Just email

[email protected], or call

917-941-8640.

A Yarn About Yarn

By Rebecca Reich

To use an old-fashioned term I

am going to tell you a yarn

(story) about yarn.

Our hat project began over two

years ago. We have made

hundreds of hats, our crafters

are wonderful. I was prompted

to start the project when my

cousin’s grandson signed up,

because he felt it was the logi-

cal course of action after the

September 11th attacks. We

began our project with hats for

soldiers; they are not only for

warmth but also for comfort

under the helmets they wear.

The synagogue paid for the

yarn, our crafters provided the

hooks, needles and labor and a

member paid for much of the

shipping to the charities who

see the hats get delivered to

the soldiers.

We expanded to include tiny

hats for children in a local hos-

pital NICU after two of our

grandchildren spent some time

in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive

Care Unit). Anyone who has

ever walked into one of those

units knows what it feels like in

the pit of their stomach when

they see those little babies and

how much it helps seeing the

tiny hats made by volunteers

that give the babies some indi-

viduality. Our initial yarn was

donated by a grandmother

whose latest grandchild was a

girl – everyone kept asking for

something other than pink for

hats. That is where Rabbi

Pamela Barmash came in,

thanks to her patience, time

and generosity we now have

many soft colors, she gave us

some soft and beautiful yarns

from her Mom’s stash. Her

mother Sarah Barmash left one

of the most amazing stashes I

have ever seen and Rabbi

Barmash was kind enough to

spend part of a day this sum-

mer helping me go through it to

pick out the perfect yarns for

babies.

Thanks to Rabbi Pam we are

now in multi-colored shape and

ready for anyone interested in

continuing this project. Pat-

terns for hats (both large and

small) and yarn can be picked

up in our Synagogue office and

completed hats dropped off

there. I am sure every soldier,

parent, grandparent and great-

grandparent who feels the com-

fort of our efforts will thank us.

Enjoy the cooler weather.

beer cans.) Thank you for

caring.
