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.

Linda and Rudy Slucker

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 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
