issue:

A New Beginning … Together

The following has been adapted from Andrew Azer’s Presidential installation speech.

I feel it was quite apropos that we had the installation for our new combined congregation

during Hanukkah as recently we had our own little miracle. Any time that you can get

over 90% of our members to participate in anything and then have over 95% voting in

favor of such a massive decision, that is really nothing short of a miracle. Your support

and hard work has paid off and brought our two temple families together; however, we

cannot rest thinking that our work is done, but we must keep pushing forward as we are

still at the beginning of our long journey.

In the book, The Art of Change, Rabbi Elyse Goldstein asks and answers the following

questions:

Q: How many Jews does it take to change a light bulb? A: 30. One to change the bulb & 29 to give contradictory advice to the person changing it.

Q: How many Orthodox Jews? A: This light bulb has never been changed and never should be!

Q: How many Conservative Jews? A: Call a committee meeting to decide if men and women can change it together.

Q: How many Reform Jews? A: Don’t worry, anyone can change it whenever and however they want to.

Q: And how many congregants does it take to change a light bulb in the synagogue? A: Don’t you dare touch it - my family donated that light bulb!!!

As these questions and answers jokingly illustrate, change is not an easy process - we

either deny we need to change, we impetuously run to make a change without thinking of

the ramifications and the feelings of others, we procrastinate about taking action, or we

simply tell others why they need to change and we don’t.

A Special Minyan Request From the Minyan Rangers,

We hope that everyone has noticed that the

weekly minyan schedule is now sent out to

the entire congregation as a part of the

weekly news. Please check the schedule and

if you are not already signed up and have the

time available, please join us. You can

always email

us [email protected]

so we can add you to the schedule. The

schedule which is sent out at the end of the

week is updated and therefore may have

changes from the monthly calendar.

We still need more leaders and captains.

On the last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

of January we need minyanaires. As this is

the fifth week for those days, we are very

short in numbers.

Thank you for honoring your commitment to

minyan. It makes it so much easier for all of

us if you can’t be there if you find a

replacement.

As always, our thanks.

Sincerely, Joe Doniger 781-963-2436 Andrew Langmead 781-344-0016 Jon Snyderman 781-297-7881

We wish everyone a very happy and healthy new year!

Along with the approval of both congregations on our

merger comes a new name for our committee. A few

years ago, our focus became outreach but now we are

the new membership/outreach committee! Our goals will

be twofold: to continue to provide events and activities

for all members of our congregation to come take part in

and to reach out to our surrounding community to tell

them about our new exciting synagogue.

Do you want to take part in this new experience? We

would love to have you join us. Just give the office a call

or email Faye at: [email protected].

Our “get to know you Shabbat dinner” was a bringing

together of over 100 congregants to enjoy a moving

service and then a delicious pre-thanksgiving meal. It

was wonderful to see so many families in attendance at

this event!!! Kudds go to David Dormady and Steve

Boyd along with everyone else who helped set up the

room and coordinate the evening!!! Another big thanks

goes to Rabbi Levine and Reb Dovid for leading us in

beautiful prayer before our delicious meal.

We continue to have many members, family and

friends join us at our Friday night and Saturday

morning Shabbat services. Even with cold and

inclement weather, many of us have ventured out to

take part in our meaningful Shabbat celebrations!!

We are so happy to see new faces among our

congregation!!

A continued big thank you to everyone who brings in

filled tzedakah cans to the office. Thanks to Stan

Zoll for taking on the responsibility of bringing our

coins to the bank for deposit.

As I close now, I hear the wind blowing with force

outside my window. Winter is here but the light and

warmth emitted from our “new combined

congregation” continues to grow each and every

day!!

Until next month, take care.

Notes from the Outreach/Membership Committee Faye Sienkiewicz, Chair [email protected]

A Lesson from Reb Dovid

TRUE GREATNESS

The Talmud reports that Rabbi Yossi, of

Haggadah fame, taught Torah in public

despite a Roman decree forbidding

anyone to do so under the penalty of

death. One day, Rabbi Chanina visited

him.

“Don’t you know, “asked Rabbi Chanina, “that Heaven

granted the Romans their power? How can you flaunt

their decrees?”

“I rely on the mercy of Heaven,” Rabbi Yossi replied.

“Tell me, will I have a sghare in Olam HaBah (the next

world)?”

“Have you ever done anything outstanding?” asked his

colleague.

“Yes, I have,” answered Rabbi Yossi. “I once had charity

as well as my own money in the same pocket. They got

mixed up, and I didn’t know which was which. So I gave

everything to charity.”

“If so,” said Rabbi Chaninah, “may my own portion be

as great as yours, and my destiny be as great as

yours.”

What can we make of this rabbinical conversation?

Rabbi Yossi is risking his life in order to teach Torah

in public. He could die a horrible death at the hands

of the Romans if he is apprehended. Yet this act of

great heroism doesn’t seem to guarantee him a

share in the Next World. What worthy act convinces

Rabbi Chanina that Rabbi Yossi has earned a share

in the World to Come? That he gave his own money

to charity when It got mixed up with charity money!

Amazing!

We see clearly from this Gemara how true greatness

is measured. Epic acts of heroism are not absolute

proof of true greatness. On the other hand, small

acts of chesed and tzedakah, acts that will never

garner a headline, are valued above much else. No

one may ever find out about it, and that may be

what makes it so praise-worthy. Acts like these show

what a person is really made of. Such an act is a

sign of true greatness.

May we all aspire to small acts of kindness.


A Message from Rabbi Levine

AS OLD AS HUMANITY

The House Committee meets every month to work

behind the scenes to make the building and property

safe and secure as well as to make improvements. We

are currently making changes with the lighting in the

Sanctuary (the “Bimah” Lights); making improvements

with the microphones; have repaired all the seats in the

Sanctuary; completed the repair of the front and back

roofs; repaired the ceilings in the coat room, Chapel and

front alcove of the Sanctuary, which were water

damaged; and have begun to make plans for future

building renovations.

The Kitchen Sub-Committee, headed by Cheryl Hiltz, is

in charge of the kitchen. Please note that any new

equipment, any supplies, or actions having to do

with the Kitchen need approval from the Kitchen

Committee. Their budget is part of the House

Committee but Cheryl is the “boss”-not me. See follow-

up article on page 18 in this issue.

Early last month, as part of our Torah reading cycle, we

read and discussed the story of Dina (Genesis, chapter

34). Dina is the daughter of our patriarch Jacob, an

only daughter among twelve sons. Shechem, the son of

the chief of the country, sees Dina in town and forces

himself upon her. He “lays with her by force.” Then,

deciding that he loves her, Shechem asks his father to

“Get me this girl as a wife.”

The hubris of such a request, of thinking that he could

rape Dina and then ask her family for her hand in

marriage, is stunning, Yet, this biblical story mirrors

much of what we have watched come to light in our

country in recent months.

The story of Dina and Shechem is the story of powerful

men disregarding the full humanity of women. It’s the

story of men viewing women as chattel, as property for

their own benefit rather than as full human beings.

It’s the story of men who misuse their positions of

power to take advantage of others, who believe their

power entitles them to act in this fashion. And, it’s the

story of the rest of us, who allow this to happen by our

silent acquiescence.

Powerful individuals get away with mistreating others

because the many people who surround them allow it.

When HR, supervisors, CEOs, co-workers, colleagues,

neighbors, friends – when we allow charm or success or

profits to take precedence over protecting the

vulnerable, we become culpable in the abuse that is

rampant in our society. When HR tells

an employee to try to ‘ignore’ the

unwanted attention from her boss, or

moves her to a different department

rather than confronting the aggressor

and investigating the truth of her story,

that is culpability. When a woman who comes forward

is slandered (often with the charge of being sexually

provocative, and therefore ‘asking for it’, or not worth

believing) – when we accept such slander as

justification for dismissing the validity of her story -- we

become culpable. When we allow the voice of the

charming neighbor, or the sports hero, or the politician

who shares our views, to drown out the voices of those

over whom they wield power, we become responsible

for the consequences. We have helped sustain a

culture in which abuse is rampant.

In the story of Dina, her brothers exact a terrible

revenge. In 21st century America, we should not be

looking for revenge. Punishment is not sufficient. We

need to create a climate that prevents abuse from

occurring in the first place. Sexual misconduct is not a

new phenomenon. It’s as old as humanity. As we

enter into the year 2018, let’s grapple with this reality.

What is it each of us can do individually? What can we

do communally? Together, let’s build a better world,

one that supports the use of power to help, rather than

to hurt.

House Committee Report Steve Bernstein, Chair [email protected]

We are also establishing a Security Sub-Committee

and are planning to have our first meeting

sometime in January. This group will be

recommending improvements and actions needed

to keep “us” safer.

Our next meeting is scheduled for January 17,

2018 at 7pm; come join us and help make our

facility the best. We have many sub-committees; I

am sure you’ll find a good fit.

Although we have seen changes, some minor, some

more significant, over the past few months, we must

understand that this is an evolving process. Whether it’s

what prayers are included during our services to the

melodies that are used, how programs are coordinated,

what foods can be brought into the temple and how they

can be prepared, the look of the bulletin, flyers, and our

website, what happens to the various plaques

throughout the building, our name and our bylaws, we

must acknowledge that change is here and more is

guaranteed as we complete the marriage of our two

congregations. For us to truly become one, we need to

be open to new ideas and fresh possibilities, we must be

open to seeing things from a different perspective and

not simply how they affect us individually. On both

sides, we need to stop with the “this is how we used to

do it” and move towards forging new opportunities

together. Officially, there is no longer us and them, we

are one united congregation, one united community, and

one united family with a common goal to secure the

stability and viability of this sacred home and this family.

Now, this doesn’t mean we forget the past or throw

away those great memories. For those who have served

in the past, we thank you for your years of service and

dedication and I am confident that you will find a new

way to remain committed and involved in our

congregation. However, we must not dwell in the past,

but instead use those experiences to help us build a

stronger tomorrow.

Several years ago I heard the Comedienne Steve Wright

tell the following joke: When I was a kid, I remember

seeing Smokey the Bear on TV saying, "Only YOU can

prevent forest fires." I thought "Who? Me?" So I'd sneak

out of the house in the middle of the night with a bucket

of water yelling "Gotta go to work." Whether thinking

that Smokey the Bear was talking specifically to him or

realizing that he couldn’t rely on others to answer the

call, he immediately sprang into action. Likewise,

tonight I state that only YOU can secure the future of

our combined congregation. Only YOU can create the

changes that will shape our future, only YOU can make

our programs and fundraisers a success, only YOU can

make our committees and this family strong, and only

YOU can help fulfill our vision to remain a vibrant and

active community for many years to come. To

paraphrase another President from Massachusetts, ask

not what your temple can do for you, but what you can

do for your temple. For this family to be successful you

must be willing to help by volunteering your time,

participating in our programs, you must help keep our

family strong and you must invite and encourage others

to do the same. I have always tried to lead by example

as we cannot expect others to answer the call if we

ourselves are not. You must be willing to take your

place in our temple family and acknowledge that simply

being a part of this family is not enough. Being a

Andrew Azer, TBAm [email protected] 781-254-5486

Words from the Temple President

member is only the beginning,

it is simply the building blocks

to our foundation. The health

and strength of that

foundation, depends upon

interaction and participation,

it relies on our power to

attract new members and to

retain and invigorate our

existing members, and it will

only thrive on our ability to

provide a reason for you and

others to belong and want and need to be here, to be a

part of this renaissance of Judaism in the South Shore.

Leonard Fein, the founder of Mazon, the Jewish

Response to Hunger, said, “Religions most insistent,

most urgent question is, what will you do? That question

does not call for speculation, it calls for commitment, it

calls for action.” As I have said many times over the

past several months, I understand and I am sensitive to

the fact that this period of transition and change can be

difficult – we all adapt, process, and accept change in

very different ways and at a very different pace. For

some there is, and may always be, a sense of loss and

grief from moving to a new location or a sense of feeling

displaced in a home that you’ve known for so many

years or questioning did we do the right thing. Your

support on the merger vote was an important step in

our journey, but it does not mark the end as together

we need to help you and support you through those

feelings and questions. I hope that in your own time,

we can all appreciate the importance and necessity of

this merger, bringing together our two rich

congregations to capitalize on our strengths, that we

understand that we are stronger together, and because

of this new combination, this new larger, more vibrant

community, that changes are inevitable and necessary

for us to prosper in securing our long-term viability.

I am humbled by this opportunity to be your President,

but we must all remember that only YOU can secure the

success of this combined congregation and this

wonderful temple family. Therefore, I ask, will you be

an integral part of this journey? Will you allow us to

change the light bulb together so that we can light a

new course? Will you answer the call to spring into

action to fortify our home? What will you do to help

shape our future and bring about the changes to extend

our sustainability? There are many questions to be

answered and I thank you for this opportunity to be

your President. I look forward to working with Michael

Bakerman, our Executive Committee and Board of

Directors, Reb David, Rabbi Levine, Brotherhood and

Sisterhood, our committees and staff, and YOU to find

the answers to these questions as we work together to

strengthen our community today and into the future.


Last month we celebrated How Good it is to Dwell Together with an

evening of food, friendship and music. Thank you to Judith Freeman

Caplan and her committee for putting together such a lovely

evening. Sisterhood presented Andrew Azer with our annual pledge to

assist the Temple. The evening was highlighted by presenting Debbie

Gladstone with the Eva Grossman Lifetime Achievement award. Debbie

has done so much for the Sisterhood and Temple over the years. She can

always be counted on for great programing ideas. It was my pleasure to

present the award to such a deserving member. In addition, I would like

to thank the women for selecting me as this year’s Woman of Distinction.

Our Tu B’shevat program is planned for January 31st. Please join us for a

night of fun and learning. Thank you for Jane Silver and her committee for putting this program together. Planning

in underway for a Musical Showcase taking place on Sunday, March 11th. This is a joint program between

Sisterhood and Hadassah and will feature some very talented musicians who will entertain us all. More details to

follow. Sisterhood Shabbat will take place on April 14th. If you are interested in participating in the service please

let Elaine Greenblatt know. If you are interested in being on the committee for the Kiddush following services,

please let me know.

Although there are a few other programs in the works, no dates have been determined. Volunteers are needed to

move things along. We are still looking for volunteers to help plan our Donor Dinner. Please let me know if you are

able to assist.

The Communications Committee is hard at work transitioning existing printed and online communications to

reflect the essence of our new and vibrant community, The Congregation of Temple Beth Abraham and Temple

Beth Am. Although our name is temporary, we are committed to reflecting the interim change.

Once we decide on our congregation’s new name, all the online links and email extensions will be updated. For

the time being, online links are being consolidated and redirected to one site. For example: the Beth Abraham

website is now our combined website but we still use the Beth Abraham name, until we get our new name.

We are tackling the following projects:

Letterhead

Consolidated Emails (see graphic)

Online Presence

Facebook Page: The Congregation of Temple Beth Abraham and Temple Beth Am

This is the new official profile for our synagogue reaching within and outside of The Congregation of Temple

Beth Abraham and Temple Beth Am community.

Facebook Group is a private group where permission to join is granted by an administrator. This is an internal

member open discussion forum. It is the place for group communication and exchanges, a place for people to

share their opinions, as well as learn about events.

Website (temporary update)….note Temple Beth Abraham website is no longer active. Temple Beth Am website

will be directed to new site within the next few weeks

From the Education Director’s Desk

It is always a funny thing living in New England when Tu B’Shevat falls in January. For us

unfortunately we are usually knee deep in snow and it is hard to imagine spring and the trees in

bloom just around the corner. In Israel however, it marks the end of the rainy season when the

almond trees are beginning to bloom. Tu B’ Shevat is the birthday celebration of the trees. The

Religious school will be celebrating in school on Tuesday January 30th. Our celebration will include

stories, crafts and of course no celebration would be complete without some delicious treats. We

will also hold our own Tu B’Shevat seder. This will give the children an opportunity to try some

fruits/ foods for the first time.

As part of our ongoing philosophy to teach our children how to give back we will be participating in the Cradles to

Crayons and Boston Bruins PJ drive. It will begin February 1st and end March 15th. More information will follow

shortly. This drive will be open to our entire community. A big thank you to all the families who supported the

holiday gift drive. I was so proud of the children being so willing to give up a night of their own Chanukah to

provide for others less fortunate. Also a big thank you to Karen Reiser, Rebecca Baizen, and Elissa Gordon for

shopping and dropping off the gifts.

There’s a very specific order that we eat the seven

species that the land of Israel was blessed with. First

you eat the olives then the dates, grapes, figs, and

finally the pomegranate. There’s a deeper reason why

we eat them in this order. When you eat an olive, the

pit is very bitter so you spit it out right away. The date

is sweet so you roll the pit in your mouth for an extra

second. The seeds of the grapes are so small,

sometimes you take them out and sometimes you even

swallow them. When you eat a fig, though, the seeds

are an integral part of the fruit and cannot be

separated. The pomegranate is on the highest level. The

seeds is the fruit itself.

This is a total transformation of the seed itself, from

bitter and non-desirable to sweet and delicious fruit.

During the winter, the trees seem to be dead and it is

cold and dark. Then Tu B’Shvat comes. It is the time

when the sap starts to rise inside the trees. On the

outside, life seems frozen, but deep on the inside,

hidden there is life. Tu B’Shvat is the day we

celebrate the potential of the tree. We understand,

that it is because of the cold winter that the tree has

the potential to blossom and be fruitful in the

Spring.

Tu B’Shvat teaches us not to give up, that we are

really in the middle of a process of growth and that

each stage is needed to make us stronger. So when

we taste the bitter pits, remember it is in our hands

to transform the bitterness into sweet fruits, to

transform the difficult times into opportunities for

growth.

Why do we celebrate Tu B’Shvat, the festival of trees smack in the middle of winter?

Why not in the spring or summer when the trees are blossoming? When you look outside, the fruit trees are empty and bare.

UPDATES:

MATT SIENKIEWICZ

Thank you to all who attended our informative and thought provoking program about Israel on

December 3rd with author Matt Sienkiewicz, PhD, associate professor of Communication &

International Studies at Boston College, and Emmy nominated documentary filmmaker and

screenwriter.

To purchase a copy of his DVD ($5) entitled, “Live: From Bethlehem,” about his personal experiences

living among the Palestinians, please email Nancy at [email protected] . To order a copy

of his book, The Other Air Force, please contact Nancy for more information. Thank you for your

continued support and your kind and generous donations to Rubin Adult Education Fund.

BETH HAMON

As you know, because of the weather conditions on Saturday evening, December 9th, we had to cancel

our “Havdalah Café” with singer, songwriter Beth Hamon from Portland Oregon: “Jewish Music Made By

Hand.” We will try to find a way to bring her back to our community, which after her Shabbat

experience that morning, she has come to love and embrace.

In the meantime, please know that copies of her new CD, “A Sliver in the Sky,” is now available in our

gift shop. Beth’s music can be heard on Jewish Rock Radio: “Jewish Women Rock,” hosted by Naomi

Less, and “Emerging Artist Showcase,” hosted by Joe Buchanan. Check Beth out at http://www.beth-

JF&CS Family Table update

The Kitchen Committee is working hard to streamline the processes in the kitchen. We have a lot of “cooks” and great ones at that!! We have so many events and programs, we want to make sure our kitchen runs smoothly.

To help with that, we are putting in the following policies:

If you are having a meeting or event that includes more than just cold drinks and cookies, please use the reservation form in the office. While planning your event and making sure it gets on the calendar, also make sure we are aware you will be using the kitchen. The form includes a place for your menu ingredients so that we can make certain the pantry and refrigerator is packed with the items and amounts you will need. Even if you plan to do your own shopping, please list the basic everyday items that you will need, like coffee or water so the kitchen can be stocked. We want to make sure

everything runs as smoothly as we can.

We also want to make sure that everyone uses the kitchen the same way, following all the rules of Kashrut that we observe. Anyone who will be cooking in the kitchen should be trained. Please arrange for that training though the office with Melissa Rudman before you do any cooking.

We hope to pack the kitchen with some new wares. If you think something would be beneficial for us in our kitchen, please let me know and we’ll add it to the list.

We appreciate your cooperation. Looking forward to cooking with you!

Imagine being alone, on a dark cold evening in

December, made darker by the absence of the light of

Chanukah. Then imagine picking up a box of candles,

donated by Family Table, brought to you by generous

volunteers, actually you, and suddenly a vibrant glow

fills the room. Now you can celebrate the jubilant and

victorious holiday of Chanukah. Now you have light,

latkes, chocolate gelt, and joy thanks to the caring of the

community around you. A community that has collected,

sorted, organized, packed and delivered this joy to you

personally. Additionally, this month we delivered fresh

carrots, onions, eggs, cheese and potatoes along with

our staple foods.

Thank you to all the volunteers for bringing light into

homes and for helping families celebrate another Jewish

holiday with our shared community.

We are now up to 56 families served from our location.

Some are husbands & wives, some are moms, dads &

children and some are elderly. But all are members of

our community and all are grateful for our generosity.

Donations to Family Table can be easily delivered

directly to the synagogue by ordering via

Amazon.com and shipping to 1301 Washington

Street, Canton MA 02021. Our monthly commitment

of 50 cans of kosher low sodium soup and 50 jars of

peanut butter is ongoing. The JF&CS box in the lobby

can always use more filling.

For those that wish to volunteer, please contact Lisa

Katz, Volunteer Coordinator, JF&CS at

[email protected]. Help is always appreciated.

Once again, thank you for all you do to support

Family Table each month by keeping our mission in

focus in our community. These gifts are what the

tradition of Tzedakah is all about.

JF&CS South Site Coordinators

What’s Cooking in the Kitchen Cheryl Hiltz, Chair

A New Holocaust Article has been added to our Library In 2010, we had a dedication service for the Lustbader/Babcock Holocaust library. After the service, Frank Weiner Z"L handed me a group of photos from the Dachau Concentration Camp that he had been holding in his wallet since 1952. He had come to the conclusion, that it was time to put these photos in a safe place. Frank knew that the photos would prove to everyone that ever questioned the existence of the Holocaust and we can Never Forget. A few years later, Abbie Langmead, a religious school student, interviewed Frank to share the story of how he was given pictures from the liberation of the concentration camp, Dachau. We have a reference folder with Frank's words as to how these photos from May, 1945 were given to him by his Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army. I welcome everyone to read this account of how holding the photos gave Frank strength to fight anti-Semitism through the years of his life. Since it is reference information, we ask that you make yourself comfortable in the library. Reference literature cannot be removed from the library.

Congregation of Temple Beth Abraham and Temple Beth Am


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.

For those who do not know, the former Temple

Beth Am has an Endowment Committee who

manages the Temple’s Endowment which is

approximately $1M.

The Committee members are: Steven Bernstein,

Chair; Phil Rosen, Treasurer; Edward Goldman,

Cindy Lurie, and Arthur Goldstein. Michael Wish,

Temple Treasurer, is a non-voting member.

This money is set aside for the future and even

though money can be taken out of the funds,

restrictions are in-place to limit how much money

can be taken every year. At the moment, all

dividends are transferred to the General Fund

(about $3,000 per month to defray expenses).

Currently, the Fund has $300,000 in Israel

Bonds plus other conservative mutual funds and

stocks. We have a Funds Mangaer- Frank Perella.

Who better to invest in Israel than us. The

Committee meets every month or so, to review

our investments.

Its never been easier to invest in Israel Bonds –

go to www.israelbonds.com they make an easy

gift for anyone from $36 and up.

Please call/email if you have any questions/

comments. Steve Bernstein
