Rabbinic Reflections from Rabbi Gordon [email protected]

These first months as your rabbi have

been a time of learning about B’nai

Tikvah, its diverse traditions, the

hopes that motivate people, and most

especially, of getting to meet people in the synagogue,

in homes, and through a series of parlor meetings. With

the assistance of Leslie Pearlstein, I have been meeting

weekly (except during the holidays) with singles and

couples from the various towns that make up our broad

catchment area, and with parents in our religious school.

This month, I will be meeting with new members before

the process takes a break for the winter.

At each session, I begin by asking people to share their

personal stories and what they hope for at B’nai Tikvah

for themselves. Recognizing that we all want financial

stability, membership growth, more participation at

programs and in leadership, what I want to know is:

What would you like B’nai Tikvah to become that would

better serve you and your family? I seek guidance in

building a synagogue program that includes events that

take things off your personal “to do” list, rather than be

another set of obligations. As people think about how

they spend their time and how they would like to spend

their time, the synagogue emerges as a place that can

meet a number of core needs.

B’nai Tikvah can be a place to expand your social circle.

People value our shared meals and ask about adding

simple Friday night dinners and kid-friendly services so

congregants can share a Shabbat experience with their

families (children and grandchildren). Those without

local extended families ask about building a network of

havurot, Jewish fellowship groups that meet for pot luck

meals and ritual celebrations, family projects and adult

learning. There is excitement about learning, both

speakers programs and living-room learning on topics

such as “Jewish ideas of God,” “How to navigate the

Shabbat morning service,” and “Understanding today’s

Conservative Judaism.” Some of you expressed interest

in studying Talmud or other classic texts of rabbinic and

mystical Judaism. Others are interested in getting

involved in Social Action in support of a strong, bi-

partisan US-Israel relationship, in support of immigrant

rights, and in support of neighbors who suffer from

food insecurity. I have also heard how much music

matters and people have expressed a desire for a more

engaging music on Friday nights and perhaps an

accompanist on Shabbat morning, as we also work on

restarting our choir.

The word that is repeated most often at our gatherings

is community. People want B’nai Tikvah to be a place

where relationships are built and strengthened, across

generational lines and geographic boundaries.

Community building is something we will all need to

work on together. We can create opportunities;

everyone needs to reach out and meet new people.

These parlor meetings have been eye-opening and will

help me develop our program for the rest of this year

and the years to come. I look forward to meeting

more of you in this setting this spring, but in the

meantime, please be in touch with your ideas and

concerns. I am always available to meet in person,

and I appreciate ideas shared through e-mail

([email protected]). This month we have some

wonderful Hannukah programs including talks by

myself (December 8) and Lori (December 22) and a

Klezmer celebratory concert (December 21). Please

join us, dance, learn, and meet new people!

Please DO NOT use the door closest to the

Chapel when leaving Minyan. That

door MUST remain closed and locked at all

times with the exception of during an

emergency. Thank you!

Getting to Know You



Words From Our Temple President Natalie Weinberg [email protected]

So many ways to give, so many ways to share. The

temple is a sharing place but we need you to

give. December is considered the season of

giving. There are many opportunities at B’nai Tikvah to

share through supporting our many funds and programs.

If you are interested in supporting our professional staff

and their programs, the Rabbi’s and Cantor’s

Discretionary Funds as well as the Religious School

Fund help in so many ways. Our youth are important

to us so why not contribute to the Joel Kessel Memorial

Youth Fund. Saturdays are an example of enjoying

the benefits of giving through the Adult Kiddish Fund and

Simcha Tribute Fund and celebrate your simcha

with your B'nai Tikvah temple family. The Ritual Fund

aides all aspects of observances at B’nai Tikvah whether

it’s the Megillah reader or a special kiddush. The Bimah

has undergone some changes including lighting and

sound systems. The Bimah Enhancement Fund as well as

the Novick/Cherenson/Finkel Memorial Arts Fund will be

used in the future for beautification and need in our

sanctuary. We all have come to a lecture, seen a movie,

or enjoyed a concert sponsored by the Rubin Adult

Education Fund. Wouldn’t we all enjoy more? The

Kirshner/Pearlstein Bereavement Fund helps

congregants when they need comfort the most.

Throughout the past year we have

been raising money for the B’nai

Tikvah Holocaust Courtyard. As

many of you may know our

Holocaust Program is many

faceted. We have an Educational

Program named for Izzie Geller and the Lustbader-

Babcock Library. We should be proud of our

commitment to Never Forget in all its aspects.

We have now established a new fund called

Accessibility Fund. I ts sole purpose is to make all

parts of the temple as handicap accessible as we can

physically do. Everything takes time and money. The

Al Burak Building Fund aides the kitchen, the

building and the temple in so many ways.

With so many choices and so many special people

remembered through funding, it may be difficult to

make a decision. A gift to the General Fund is always

helpful.

Frequently people have said that they are always

being asked for money. We are not asking for

ourselves. For many the temple is a focal point. In

order for the B’nai Tikvah to remain vibrant and vital,

it must be maintained. It’s an on-going challenge -

one that I feel is worth it. Please join me in this

effort.

Hunger doesn’t take

time off!

We are only a few days from being halfway through the month of Marcheshvan. I have always been fascinated with this month and the addition of the prefix “mar” which has been added to it. Do we translate the Hebrew “mar” as bitter? If so, why? We are all somewhat familiar with this translation from Pesach and from our Seder where we discuss the bitter herbs of the same name representing the time of slavery.

Perhaps Cheshvan earns the bitter title due to its simple lack of chagim (holidays). It was only a few weeks ago we celebrated Rosh Hashanah, and the festive Sukkot and Simchat Torah. Looking ahead to Kislev, we will soon celebrate Chanukah, leaving nothing for lonely Cheshvan. Maybe this designation goes back to biblical times where it is said we lost both Sarah and Rachel during Cheshvan. Of course, the anniversary of Kristallnacht also falls during Cheshvan as well. Any of these events would be enough to note this month as bitter.

In true Jewish fashion, however, some look at this negative name with an alternative view. Mar may also be defined as a drop (as in a drop of water) since it is here in Cheshvan where we begin to pray for Geshem

(rain). Also, history indicates it was during Cheshvan that Solomon completed the construction of the Temple.

Personally, this may be my favorite month on the calendar; the holiday-rich Tishrei is behind us, the weather is perfect, we settle into a routine of Shabbat services that bring us through Bereshit and, of course, we celebrate the quintessential American holiday of Thanksgiving.

Whatever views we take on Cheshvan, like all other months, we each should look to do what we can to “sweeten” it for ourselves and others. If I may use this medium as an advertisement, our B’nai Tikvah chorus is reforming and we would love to have as many members as we can this year. As we said in the email: all voices and all ages are welcomed and encouraged to participate! I am sure that singing new and exciting melodies (as well as some existing favorites) with friends and families is one sure way to take some of the Mar out of Marcheshvan.

B’Shalom.

School Happenings Michelle Langmead, Lead Teacher

On November 15th, our religious school students lead the Friday night Shabbat service for the first time this year. The students have been working on their Hebrew reading skills in class. It was wonderful to see them davening on the bimah. The group gave a presentation explaining how each letter is important in the aleph bet, complete with songs. The joy in the children’s’ faces as they led the prayers and the pride on their parents’ and grandparents faces was such a wonderful way to welcome Shabbat. In Morah Shapiro’s class, the students are learning all about Shabbat. The children studied Parsha Beresheet to discover how the world was created and the first Shabbat began. The class can chant and read the prayers for the wine, challah, and candles. They learned how to get the table ready for Shabbat and are working on the Friday night service. The unit on Shabbat will end with the class making Havdalah kits to celebrate the ending of Shabbat at home. The children will be spending the month of December learning about Hanukkah, the story of the Maccabees, and how to count in Hebrew. In Mrs. Langmead’s class, we have been learning why we keep kosher and how to discover the symbols on the foods we eat. There are many different symbols which makes finding them a challenge. We looked in our temple pantry to see how many different symbols we could find (eleven different kinds!) This lead to a discussion of what the children consider Jewish symbols. We created art projects that show some of the symbols the students thought are important. We are working on our understanding of different kinds of mitzvot [tzedakah, mitzvot of Shabbat, Kiddush, Hanukkah nerot (lights), giving gifts]. We came to the realization that we perform many mitzvot every day and now that we are aware of this, we will try extra hard to do more. In Cantor Josh’s class, the students are studying the weekly parsha. The group chants the blessings before the

after an Aliyah. The children are now going into the beginning of the Torah service on Shabbat to join and learn from the congregation. The students are reading the prayers during Hebrew lessons so they can follow along with the congregation. They hope to be leading the prayers soon. Since these students are not in the service at the beginning, they will be learning about how we choose Hebrew names and what exactly is involved in naming a boy or a girl. As a school, we have been collecting our tzedakah money to purchase gift cards for needy children. On November 26, Ben and Sydney J. lead our classes on a discussion of Maimonides and the different levels of charity. Through an awesome power point presentation and activity, our students will understand the true meaning of giving. We look forward to celebrating Hanukkah as a community on December 22 at the Family cooking class where we will make some delicious holiday treats.

This may be the last flea market. We're all

getting older and the time and effort to

organize one of these is taking its

toll. We're tired.

Brotherhood is thankful, however, to those

volunteers who helped make the flea market

work. In this season of Thanksgiving, we

are thankful for Howie Cooper. Without him

there would be no flea market. We are

thankful for Floyd Aaron and Paul Sirk who

spend a good portion of the day in the

kitchen. We are thankful for Harvey Levine

and Marshall Silberberg who do the shopping

for the breakfast and lunch menus then work

in the kitchen. We are thankful for Stan

Zoll, Eric Dickstein, Phil Levine, Phyllis

Hewson, Kayla Friedman and Janet

Silberberg who manned the entrances and

Brotherhood Table.

Thank you all for a job well done.


Notes from the Membership Committee Phillis Hewson, Chair [email protected]

Membership in B'nai Tikvah, WHY? Because we are a progressive, egalitarian congregation,

offering distinctive Jewish programming! Our members are committed and involved! We are truly a community that is engaging with each other! We are known and respected, not only within our walls, but also throughout the local Canton/Randolph, and other south shore areas. We are inclusive, thus welcoming all regardless of age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, individuals with disabilities, interfaith couples, etc.

We are committed to help our members through all life cycles: from birth to death, from marriage to Bar/Bat Mitzvot, youth engagement and beyond, through good and bad times, etc. Rabbi Gordon and Cantor Grossman can guide and counsel you during these times. And our president, Natalie Weinberg, is always available to answer your questions or concerns.

Through your spiritual journey, we seek to provide you with a home for growth and new horizons. We offer traditional, as well as alternative Shabbat Services. Perhaps you would like to attend "Soul Stroll," or "Starbucks Shabbat" Maybe you would like to attend "Lunch and Learn" with Rabbi Gordon. These are held Wednesday afternoons. Perhaps a social action ( a program on anti Semitism, among others is coming soon), or adult education (speakers, films) program would grab your attention. And keep your eyes open for information on these "coming attractions" (some of which are ongoing): a brotherhood indoor flea market, a sisterhood "fun" day, an art auction, cooking classes, speaker series, and a Chanukah Party with a Klezmer band. There is truly something for everyone!!!

If you would like to contact me for any reason, I can be reached at [email protected]. I am open to any suggestions, ideas, you may have.

Happy Chanukah!

B’nai Tikvah-Northeastern University Jewish Studies

Scholar Series kicked off on November

1 with Professor Dov Waxman who spoke about

”American Jews and Israel in the Age of

Trump” following services with guest Cantor Lisa Kipen-

Hershenson of Newbridge. Well over 100 attendees

were treated to a very interesting and insightful lecture.

On Veteran’s Day weekend, we presented the finished

version of “Sammy’s Story”. Sam Bernstein z”l was

Randolph resident who fought in Iwo Jima. His son

Howie joined us, on Sunday November 10. The following

night members and friends were in Foxboro enjoying

“Tevye’s Daughters”.

On Sunday, December 8 to 11 am Rabbi Gordon will

teach us “The True Story of Hanukah.” Two weeks later

we will start our celebration with a Pre- Hanukah

celebration weekend. It will start Saturday night with

“Too Klez for Comfort” which will feature a 7 piece

Klezmer Band.

Sunday, December 22 at 11 am we will join with

Sisterhood and learn with Prof. Lori Lefkovitz, “The

Secret of the 7th Candle: Women in the story of

Hanukkah”.

Adult Ed has an ambitious agenda, so we desperately

need more members to help plan and carry out more

wonderful programs. Please join us.

On Tuesday, October 29th we held our Pink Minyan in the chapel. We had a lovely group who prayed together and then we had a number of women share their stories of their breast cancer journey and story of survival. We learned about newer forms of treatment and found what strong women we have in our congregation. As always, pink desserts helped to make the evening special.

The Mah Jongg Tournament we held in conjunction with South Suburban Hadassah on November 17th was a resounding success with 68 players from all over the state! The room was buzzing with clicking and clacking of tiles (and voices!) Despite the calls for quiet it was hard for everyone to keep quiet as the excitement of over $300 worth of prize money was on the line!

Several folks came down to knit on Tuesday, November 18th to make Afghans for Veterans and it was so much fun for me to re-learn this craft. My poor Mom taught me but could not get me excited in one of her favorite pastimes. Hopefully the excitement will continue for me now!

December 1st is the Sisterhood Celebrates our Jewish Roots program which will include the announcement of the Woman of Distinction. More detail on that will be in the January bulletin.

We are looking forward to partnering with Adult Education on Sunday December 22nd at 11 am to bring you a special talk from Dr. Lori Lefkowitz as part of the Northeastern University Speaker Series. Her topic will be “The Secret of the Seventh Candle - Women in The Story of Hanukkah”.

ANNOUNCEMENT - ANNOUNCEMENT - ANNOUNCEMENT!

We have started a free Mah Jongg Club that will be playing every Wednesday from 4:30 - 6:30 at the temple. This group is for ALL levels of Mah Jongg players INCLUDING learners! Please rsvp to [email protected] Please note that we will NOT be playing on Wednesday, November 27th, but we will on all other Wednesdays this year. If turnout is good, we will consider continuing this into 2020. Speaking of Mah Jongg, our own Nancy Swartz is making her hand painted Mah Jongg bags again! Please come check them out on any Wednesday. They are hand painted and made especially for you! Bags to fit either sized card are only $24 and Nancy is making a donation to Sisterhood from the proceeds. It is a win-win as you get a good deal and a beautiful bag! Order one for yourself or several to give as gifts. Contact me for details.

FUN Days are moving to Wednesdays! On December 18th we will have a movie afternoon. Come enjoy "Mama Mia" with your Sisterhood friends. Free! Movie snacks included.

Did you know that the Sisterhood Gift Shop has many items in stock that we cannot fit in the case? Did you know that we can order something for you at a good price? If you would like to make a purchase of anything you see in the case, please let the office know. If you are looking for something special or if you have any questions, please contact either Heidi at [email protected] or 781-975-6506 or me at [email protected] or 617-470-6779. We also have all your Chanukah needs, which will be on display on Sunday December 1st at the Sisterhood Celebrates and on Sunday December 22nd at the Hanukkah Speaker event. We are here to help you!

If you are interested in working with the Sisterhood Board and or working on a committee for a specific program, or have ideas for a new program, I’d love to hear from you! Please feel free to call or email me.

Plenty more exciting events are scheduled for 2020. Stay tuned!

Observing Yahrzeit on the anniversary of a loved one’s death is a Jewish tradition. In Judaism, there is a focus on carrying on the memory of those before us from generation to generation. Family and friends light Yahrzeit candles which burn for twenty-four hours, they say the mourner’s kaddish prayer, and often donate money to their temple in honor of their loved one’s memory. Additionally, the Yahrzeit candle is lit on four other designated days of the year, called Yizkor dates - Yom Kippur, Shemini Atzeret, eighth day
