Temple Shalom Bulletin
William and Charlotte Bloomberg Jewish Community Center
Ironically, I have been working with a number of my colleagues on a statement about gun violence as part of the public policy committee of the Mass Board of Rabbis. Our statement, which is still in development, does not call for guns to be illegal. Everyone upholds the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution, but does anyone really need automatic weapons or high capacity magazines that can store 30 bullets for rapid fire? You cer-tainly don’t need this to hunt a deer or to protect yourself from intruders. These guns are made to kill people – lots of people in a short amount of time. In a few seconds, such a weapon can and did
wipe out an entire classroom of children.
Jewish tradition values life over all else. We are all created b’zelem elohim – in God’s image. To take one life, according to the Mishnah, is the same as destroying an entire world. Likewise to save one
life is to save a world.
Today, we need to take this Mishnah to heart by pressing for legislation that will save lives. We need to make it easier to attain mental health services, and more difficult to acquire assault
weapons.
B’Shalom, Rabbi David
I write this on the day of the terrible massacre of 27 people, including 20 first graders, at an elementary school in Connecticut. For the families involved and for the country, this is an unspeakable, horrific event. My only hope is that it finally begins a serious
discussion on gun control in this country.
Unfortunately, this type of gun violence is hardly un-common. Columbine. Aurora. Tucson. Virginia Tech. Now Newtown, CT. How many need to die before this country gets serious about gun control? Recently, NBC Sports Commentator Bob Costas created a stir when he called for more sensible gun laws in the wake of a murder/suicide committed by a pro-football player. Costas should be commended for his moral courage, just as he was for calling out the IOC for their failure to commemorate the massacre of Israeli
athletes by terrorists at the 1972 Munich games.
Initial reports are that the gunman used a .223 assault rifle. Unbelievably, you can go online right now to purchase this lethal weapon or go to a gun show, where 40% of the guns in America are sold, and you
don’t even need to go though any background checks.

Message from the President
(G2&3)
9)
The great Zionist thinker Ahad Ha'am is quoted as saying, "More than Jews have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jews." Shabbat has always been an integral part of the Jewish experience. Even Jews who may not otherwise be observant, go to services, or participate in organized religion, still do something different on
Shabbat - whether lighting candles, eating a special meal, or just having some family time together.
A couple of weeks ago, it occurred to me that we are becoming a Shabbas Shul, a community that comes together to celebrate Shabbat. On the second Shabbat of each month, we have three services going on simultaneously: our main service, our Shabbat Yeladim service, and our Tot Shabbat service. And after services we all come together to have lunch in the social hall. If you were to look around you would notice that, depending on the month, there are anywhere between 70 and 125 of our members (adults and children) enjoying Shabbat together. That represents 30 to 50 percent of our congregation! That’s an amazingly large percentage for any synagogue, big or small. Besides the High Holidays, it makes Shabbat the number one event in which our members participate, and they participate every month. In fact, lately even on a regular Shabbat weekend, we have between 30 and 60 of our members attending Shabbat services, still a reasonable percentage. We come together for different reasons: some to pray and some to play, some for themselves and some for their children, some for company and some simply to enjoy a rest from the business of the week. But
whatever the reason, we as a community come together on Shabbat.
Are we keeping Shabbat or is Shabbat keeping us? I don’t know. Perhaps it’s both. But I do know when I walk into the Temple on Shabbat and see so many of our members together, children and adults, new members and
founding members, that we are doing something right as a community.
Shabbat Shalom,
David

Temple Shalom's Annual

10% of the proceeds will go to Yad Chessed *.
The baskets will feature home made (Temple made) hamantachen and other treats. Along with
the baskets will be a card listing all the people who sent the basket. (Note: If several people
send the same person a basket, that person will receive one basket with
the names of all senders.)
The baskets cost $12 to send to Temple members and $20 to send to non-members (to cover
shipping costs). Baskets sent to non-members can be sent only to U.S. residential addresses.
**For the bargain price of $136, you can send baskets to every Temple member.****For the bargain price of $136, you can send baskets to every Temple member.**

relationship to the Land of Israel and our responsibility
for the environment.

Please send your check to the office when you register.

Havdalah Pajama Party!
Saturday, January 19 at 5 p.m.
Come say 'goodnight' to Shabbat
Wear your PJs, bring lovies and loved ones! Say goodnight to Shabbat and enjoy a light supper together. We will have a short
program on the "Good night" Shma prayer that parents can sing with or to their children at night before we actually perform Havdalah and
then we'll enjoy dinner and a craft.
RSVP by Monday, January 14 to the Temple Office at 781-396-3262
or to [email protected]
The cost is $5 per adult and $4 per child,
with a family maximum of $15, payable in advance.
Havdalah is the short, sweet service that signals the end of
Shabbat. It is a family friendly, multi-sensory service, filled with the
warmth of candlelight, wine, sweet-smelling spices and song, a
beautiful way to move from Shabbat into a new week. With this
ritual separation of Shabbat from the rest of the week (“havdalah” is
the Hebrew word for separation), we connect the Shabbat that is
ending with the weekdays to come. Havdalah is also performed after
holidays, to separate sanctified time from the
more mundane work days.
In addition, the library will be open during the monthly GAME NIGHT
If you have any questions, please email Leandra Elion
Thursday, please consider coming a little early

Temple Shalom Book Discussion Group Wednesday, February 20 at 7:30 p.m.
Our next book selection is
To the End of the Land by David Grossman
For more information, please contact Marilyn Goldberg [email protected]
Just before his release from service in the Israeli army, Ora’s son
Ofer is sent back to the front for a major offensive. In a fit of
preemptive grief and magical thinking, so that no bad news can
reach her, Ora sets out on an epic hike in the Galilee. She is joined
by an unlikely companion—Avram, a former friend and lover with a
troubled past—and as they sleep out in the hills, Ora begins to
conjure her son. Ofer’s story, as told by Ora, becomes a surprising
balm both for her and for Avram—and a mother’s powerful
meditation on war and family.
Hebrew Reading 102
A follow-up to our very successful Learn to Read Hebrew course from last winter, Hebrew
Reading 102 will focus on improving reading skills while learning the Shabbat morning
services. To take this course, the only thing you have to know is the letters of the Alef-
Bet. This course will build from there. We will meet in the Temple Library after Minyan on
Tuesday evenings from January 1 - March 19, 7:30 - 8:45 p.m. We will be using the book "Ayn
Keloheynu" by Noah Golinkin, which is available at the Israel Bookstore or online at
Amazon.com. Please bring a copy of this book to our first meeting. The class, which is free
for members, will be taught by four very generous members of the Temple Shalom
community: Beth Linker, Rebecca Kurowski, Nadja Rozovsky, and David Sayres.
For more information and to sign up, contact Beth Linker at [email protected]
There are many online resources if you are looking for a quick review of the Alef-Bet before
deciding to take this class. One is Judaism 101 at http://www.jewfaq.org/alephbet.htm.

Upcoming Adult Education Programs
A Practical Class on Participation in Shabbat services.
Do you feel comfortable taking an Aliyah during the Torah service? Would you be willing to
lift or dress the Torah (Hagbah and Gelilah) after the reading? Have you ever carried a Torah
in procession to or from the Arc? What is that Bob Kaplan says to everyone after they have
an honor during the service and how are you supposed to respond? Join the Adult Ed and
Ritual Committees for an occasional series that will give step by step instruction on how to
participate in Shabbat services. Take the opportunity to see how these honors are performed
and to actually practice the necessary skills.
The Adult Education Committee is always looking for new ideas and new members. Our next
meeting will be Monday, December 10, 7:30 p.m., at Temple Shalom. All are welcome to join
us or send in your ideas and questions.
Please be generous and donate to the local Food Pantries.

Cantor’s Class
Wednesday, January 23 at 7:30 p.m. after the evening minyan.

the New Year for Trees.
Associated reading will be found on the table outside the office in the week before class.
As usual, all are welcome to the class.
Please email Cantor Stern with questions or for information at [email protected].
In Israel, the month of Shevat is the birthday of trees. Tu B'Shevat (the 15th of Shevat) is a time
to celebrate the land of Israel and its fruits.
For our monthly meeting we will celebrate a Rosh Chodesh Tu B’Shevat seder.
A detailed e-mail will be sent out to the group to explain more about our Seder and to let you know
where we will meet. If you have not been to Rosh Chodesh in awhile, I encourage you to join us! We
sing a few songs, say few prayers, have a light discussion on an interesting topic and, most importantly,
get a chance to get to know the amazing women of Temple Shalom. Please e-mail me your address if
you have not been getting the information about each month’s meeting. If time allows, we may also
have a discussion of the Zodiac symbol of the month.

From the Desk of
The Religious School Director Gan Katan, recently enjoyed a visit from Rabbi David, who read the class a story on Hanukkah. The students
will soon begin learning about the Jewish holidays that come in the spring. Our enthusiastic preschoolers love
to learn through Hebrew song and dance and craft projects.
Gan Yiladim Class has added Alef-bet yoga to their creative ways to learn the Hebrew letters. The students
use their bodies to gently stretch into the shape of the Hebrew letter of the day, and the letters that have been
learned during the past months. When students were asked for feedback on the yoga, one child enthusiasti-
cally exclaimed, “I loved it!” In addition, the Kindergarten students have added the Halleluyah prayer to the
Shema and Modeh Ani prayers which they recite during Circle Time.
Kitah Aleph will continue their study of the alef-bet this month, using reading and printing exercises in their
textbook in addition to more creative methods like sculpturing the letters with shaving cream and play dough,
coloring and interactive games. Moreh Alec will be teaching the talmidim/talmidot (students) basic words that
begin with each of the letters in addition to reading words with two and three syllables. Moreh Kyle will
guide the students in learning about Northern and Southern Israel and the story of Noah’s Ark during Bible
studies.
The Kochavim Class will finish studying the Barechu, Yotzer Or and Shema prayers with Moreh Kyle. In
addition to reading the prayers confidently and fluently, the students will learn when and why we recite these
prayers. They will also be learning about the upcoming holiday of Tu B’Shevat with Moreh Alec. In
addition, Israel will be a topic of study for Kochavim Class, focusing on Jerusalem, the Negev Desert and
Eilat.
Please Save the Date, Religious School Families! Our first Family Education Program for the school
year is on Sunday, January 20, at 9:30 a.m. Parents will be learning together with their children, as they
join Rabbi David and Andrea Katz during the morning session, on the topic of the Mezuzah. A colorful
mezuzah will be created by each family in Gan Yiladim, Aleph and Kochavim Classes. More information will
be sent home soon. We are looking forward to Religious School families learning with us!
