REFLECTIONS

So Maybe You Can’t Dance At Two Weddings, But…
Many people in whose homes Yiddish was spoken have vivid memories of the colorful
expressions that our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents used to use. If we were
fortunate enough to understand at least some of the Yiddish, we laughed along at many of
those expressions; however, if we did not understand the Yiddish, we still may have laughed
along because it sounded so funny to our ears.
I was reminded recently of the Yiddish expression, "You can’t dance at two weddings at the
same time: Me ken nit tantsen oif tsvai chassenes oif ain mol,” sort of the Yiddish equivalent
of "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Some of you who have taken the advanced
course in Yiddish know that some Yiddish speakers add something at the end of that
expression, making it even funnier." Quite true; but some readers might accuse me of getting
fresh. Perhaps if I reach the age of my grandparents, I can get away with saying anything I
want, but not today.
I mention this expression because October may be a month for dancing. The most obvious
opportunities for dancing are tied to Simhat Torah. On Thursday evening, October 16 and on
the following day is Simhat Torah. The first opportunity for dancing will be at 6:30 PM when
we will have a half-hour Simhat Torah celebration for nursery through 2nd graders and their
families: some singing, some dancing with “toy Torahs,” flags, a story (maybe two), and
Rabbi Mark Finkel
refreshments for everyone afterwards. At 7 PM we will hold our family Simhat Torah
celebration for elementary school students and older. In addition to all the components at the earlier celebration, we will
have our annual total wrap (or un-wrap as the case may be) and refreshments. All are welcome; but the holiday does not
end there. On Friday morning October 17 at 9:30 AM Simhat Torah continues. Everything that goes on on Thursday
evening continues on Friday morning plus every member of the congregation in attendance will receive an honor to the
Torah … and Kiddush follows.
The fourth opportunity for dancing? This is a more select group, but I still want everyone in our PBJC community to
know about it, pass the word along and encourage attending, should you meet or speak to any of this special group, and
that is this year’s opening dance of the northern New Jersey USY, Saturday evening, October 18 at Congregation B’nai
Israel in Millburn, an opportunity for our young people to dance all night (or talk or text) in a safe and fun Jewish
environment. Our USY’ers, 9-12 graders, sometimes do not get word of opportunities for them to join with their peers to
make new friends and to have a great time, so I am partially relying on readers to spread the word. (Don’t worry; it is on
Facebook too.) There will be round-trip transportation from PBJC. USY’ers and their parents should call the synagogue
office to get on the bus list.
I hope that all of you will have at least one opportunity to dance during October at one of these venues.
On behalf of myself, Abby, our family, and the professional and lay staff of PBJC, I wish you a joyous, meaningful and
fulfilling conclusion to our holy day season, and may you be sealed in the book of life for good, sweet, and healthy year.

NURSERY
SCHOOL
Festive Fall Fun!!!!
The beginning of a new school year brings with it so many exciting and new
feelings, for both parent and child! In September, we welcomed back returning
friends and met special new ones at the same time. PBJC Nursery is off to a
great start. In addition to adjusting to school, our pre-schoolers spent
September learning about the very special holidays of Rosh Hashana, Yom
Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah. We munched on apples and honey and sang
festive new songs. All of the children participated in a wonderful Shofar program
conducted by our friends at the Living Legacy. September may have been a
short month, but it was certainly filled with many fun and exciting programs and
projects as we kicked off our school year.
The nursery children have jumped right into all of their classroom activities with
such enthusiasm! From circle time to art projects to learning new songs or
playing on the playground, there is always something fun happening! The
children are also enjoying their weekly music class with Miss Babette and our
new weekly movement class with Miss Lisa! We have expanded our enrichment
programming to now include science for our 3’s and 4’s and art enrichment for
our 4’s. We also look forward to kicking off our after-school enrichment classes
for the 3’s and 4’s! Being offered this fall are drama, cooking and a new
“potluck” class to include everything from
yoga to science to nature!
As always, my door is always open to anyone
who would like more information about any of
our nursery programs.
All the best,
Rosanne Mendelowitz

The students of Pine Brook Jewish Center’s Religious School ushered in the 20142015 academic year with much enthusiasm and excitement. In anticipation of what I
trust will be an outstanding year, each child received a piece of chocolate to
symbolize a good and sweet year of learning!
As you already know, Tefillah, prayer, is a core
element of our curriculum. Every Sunday we
daven together and reinforce what the students
learn in the classroom. Furthermore, our students
lead us in Havdalah, a beautiful service that
separates the Sabbath from the hustle and bustle of our routine weekday

activities. The students and teaching professionals have the opportunity to

The Chelsea Madrichim Program begins

with the Jewish traditions that will last a lifetime. In addition, students are

encouraged to attend as many Junior Congregation services as possible.
This is another way to educate them and provide an opportunity to lead

Judaism is clear: Religion is about shaping our attitude and actions toward
ourselves, toward each other and toward God. Religion should help us
believe that we do matter, that our actions matter, and that we are never
alone. Please make this the year to join our students in family functions and
class services and to listen to your child read a tefillah and appreciate the
joy of learning. We are encouraging our students to find their own spiritual
journey while we integrate their knowledge into building lifetime skills. I urge
you to attend an education committee meeting, get involved, and take an
active role in your child’s Jewish education.
I would like to take this opportunity to formally welcome and introduce Mrs.
Susan Golloub to our faculty. She brings a wealth of experience and
knowledge, and will be a valuable addition to our excellent staff of
educational professionals. We also welcome Mr. Evan Zuckerman as our
Vice President of Education. Bruchim Habaim!
I look forward to seeing you at our many events scheduled for this year. As
always, my door is always open to hear your suggestions, comments, and
goals for our school.

B’YACHAD
HEBREW
HIGH
B’YACHAD: An Inclusive Community of Learners
Hershey Jaffe
B’Yachad Coordinator
REGISTRATION IS STILL
BEING ACCEPTED FOR
THE B'YACHAD
PROGRAM!
The success of our Hebrew High School, B’yachad, is dependent on the ability to not
only learn about ‘the ethics of our people,’ but more importantly to build a community.
When students trust and care about each other they feel safe to share their views and
ideas in a classroom setting and a dialogue begins. The fear of being judged by one’s
peers dissipates and discussions become lively and interactive. From the time of
Hillel and Shammai, our tradition teaches that there was always room to examine,
dissect and re-evaluate our laws. In fact, many believe that different perspectives are
exactly the reason Judaism has survived for almost 6000 years. However, all of our
ancestors agreed on the importance of community.
Because I worry about the next generation and because enrollment in B’yachad is
voluntary, I along with Mrs. Sheydwasser have worked countless hours to develop a
program that would entice participation and also build that community that we believe
is vital to Judaism. With that in mind, we have taken several steps to foster a ‘kehilah
kedusha,’ or a holy community, where everyone is respected and every opinion is
valued. Each class begins by sharing a meal together. That short period of time
provides the students with an opportunity to get to know each other better and
verbalize any problems they might recently encountered. Since our students come
from different schools, it also gives them the ability to ‘catch up’ with each other. In an
effort to change the tone of the class, we usually change venues and simultaneously
establish boundaries to denote that the ‘act of study’ is about to begin.
Another element in the Community Building process is the performing of a mitzvah
together. This year, all of our high school classes will join with our younger youth groups
in preparing sandwiches for the homeless and then B’yachad will distribute the meals,
along with winter items that we will collect, to New York City’s Homeless. This program
is sponsored by the Midnight Run Organization, which is a “…volunteer organization
dedicated to finding common ground between the housed and the homeless.”
Lastly, our efforts turn to the social aspect of our school. Several activities have been
scheduled, and many of them have been driven by our students, to promote the
‘family atmosphere’ that our scholars respond so well to.
In early September, we held our 2nd Annual Bowling Event. Attended by 18 joyous
students and a success by every standard, they filled the alleys with laughter and the
sounds that we, the educators, thrive on hearing. Our Sukkah Party, open to all
B’yachad students is scheduled for October 14th. In addition to dinner, we will be
making s’mores and after eating and saying the prayers for Sukkot, we will hopefully
be sitting around a campfire and singing songs together.
Together we have become “The habonim, the builders of the next generation of Jews.
If your idea of Religious School has changed, then call me or the school office and we will send you a Registration
Form to share this exciting journey with us. If you haven’t changed your perception, then give us a try! Let us show
you how learning can be fun, substantive and engaging all at the same time. As always, I am available for any
questions and can be reached on my cell at 201.615.8419 or by email at [email protected]. I look forward to
learning with you.

Our son, Lorrin, was welcomed by family and friends on April
29, 2001. His less usual name honors the memory of his
October 12, 2014
grandparents, Linn and Irwin. Lorrin has distinguished
himself as a compassionate young man, independent thinker, honor student at Lazar
M.S., soccer player, skier, musician who plays saxophone in the school and Jazz bands,
and has enjoyed participating in the Percussion Ensemble. He’s found an interest in
electronics and computer programming and loves computer gaming. For the past year
Lorrin has been entertaining seniors as a Mitzvah Clown. The project had special
meaning since he has never had living grandparents. We, and Lorrin’s little sister,
Ariana, are incredibly proud of him, as he becomes a bar mitzvah!

For his Mitzvah project Jared volunteered his time at the Interfaith Food Pantry helping
clients with their shopping and making home deliveries. Jared learned about the issues
of hunger right here in our community. We are very proud of Jared and look forward to
celebrating this joyous occasion.
Ian Nazmiyal was born on September 1, 2001. He will become
a Bar Mitzvah on October 25, 2014. Ian is the youngest of his
October 25, 2014
siblings Noah and Ara. Padi and Jason are proud parents of
Ian and are looking forward to his special day. Ian is a 7th grade student at Lazar Middle
School. He plays on the Montville Travel Soccer team. He’s also on the Montville Travel
basketball team and has been on the team since the team formed. Ian enjoys playing
tennis and skiing. He likes travelling and experiencing different cultures. His most recent
trip with his family was to Spain where he visited different cities and had an opportunity
to visit a synagogue. Ian is looking forward to sharing his Bar-Mitzvah with his family
and friends.

Betty Crane
Friendship Club Coordinator
The Friendship Club began in 2000 with a grant from MetroWest. Currently, we have about
250 members from Morris and Essex counties. We meet at various times of the year
depending on the synagogue schedule. We take trips to museums, attend concerts and
shows, have a mid-winter brunch in February, a Shabbat dinner in November, and evening
programs. We have about eight events a year, several with bus transportation. Dues are
$25 annually.
In July, we began our fifteenth year and The Friendship Club remains a vibrant and dynamic group. Your support
and active participation in our many programs have kept us alive and well.
On Wednesday, August 20, we sponsored the “AARP Driver Safety Course” at the synagogue and it was well
attended. Marty Karasick. a certified AARP volunteer and a member of The Friendship Club, conducted this sixhour session. In the last three years, 57 people have taken this course and, as always, the feedback has been very
positive. We thank Marty for his time and commitment.
As of this writing, we are looking forward to our September meeting on Tuesday evening, September 16. Jessica
Davy, a clarinetist, composer and educator, will present “The World of Classical Music” where she will discuss the
baroque, romantic and contemporary periods. In addition, there will be a “Name That Tune” segment as well as
audience participation. We must have many classical music aficionados because the response to this program has
been excellent.
As a reminder, we will be holding our annual Shabbat Dinner on Friday evening, November 21 so please mark this date
on your calendar. In December, we are planning another movie night and you will be notified once details are finalized.
Finally, if any of our congregants have reached the magic age of fifty-five and wish to be placed on our mailing list,
please let me know. We always welcome new members.
Wishing you a beautiful autumn.

The PBJC Men’s Club fosters cultural, social, and religious activities and programs for the
members of the Men's Club, Synagogue youth, the congregation and the community. In
addition, we seek to promote understanding and awareness of Jewish heritage among our
members and their children. Membership is open to any adult Jewish male of the

You may have already received your annual invoice for the Men’s Club dues. Once again we have been able to
keep costs down and have not raised the dues. If you have already sent in your payment, we thank you for your
support.
We urge you to support and be part of your Men’s Club. Join us at any of the many events and activities that we
sponsor during the year. Because of the high holidays and other scheduling conflicts we are a bit late, but that
just mean that you haven’t missed our “Kick-off” breakfast scheduled for October 26th at 10:00AM. We have an
exciting morning planned with yet another “special guest speaker.” Mark your Calendar now and watch for further
details. If it will be your first breakfast, just let us know and we will make sure you feel at home!
You can still sponsor one of our breakfasts! It’s the perfect way to promote and advertise your company and your
company’s products and services to the men of the PBJC and at the same time support your Men’s Club. Just
ask us how it works and what it’s all about.
The Men’s Club was responsible for all the cooking at the Family BBQ last month. We cooked enough
hamburgers, hotdogs, turkey burgers and veggie burgers for over 200 attendees. Our thanks go to: Jeffrey Weiss,
Ray Feldman, Barry Grummer, Alan Guilder, Marv Kaufman, Paul Fenton, Glenn Fox, Evan Zuckerman, Bill Markel,
Joe Huber and Steve Berman for their efforts and support.
The Men’s Club is responsible for erecting the sukkah each year, and this year is no exception. We are scheduled
to begin “construction” on Sunday morning October 5th. Of course what goes up must come down, so on
Sunday morning October 19th we will be taking the sukkah down. We will be sending out email reminders asking
for volunteers to help us out with this task.
Our annual Man-of-the-Year dinner is scheduled for Wednesday evening November 12th. This is always a very
well attended and special night because we honor one of our own. Stay tuned for the big announcement as to
who we will be honoring as our 2014-2015 Man-of-the-Year. This year’s event will be held at Temple Beth Ahm
Yisrael in Springfield NJ. You will be receiving further details on this special event.
The New Year is just getting started and it’s the perfect time to give us a try and find out what we’re all about. We
think you will be pleasantly surprised, but why not find out for yourself. We are looking for men of all ages, sizes
and levels of experience.
If you have any questions, suggestions, comments, concerns or inquiries, we urge you to contact us. We want to
hear from you!

Socially Active Single Seniors
SASS ended our summer activities with a wonderful day at the Gardens for
Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ on August 24th. The weather was beautiful, the statues
were magnificent and everyone who attended had a fabulous day. This is a place
everyone should see; it is well worth the trip.
Our September 9th meeting was informative. Rosalie Kesselman, RN and member
of PBJC led a discussion on: ”How to find and select the right doctor for your
particular needs” and also the current trend towards “concierge” doctors. It was an
informative as well as enjoyable evening.
Our October meeting is a trip to the Bickford theatre (at the Morris Museum). On
Sunday October 26th, we will be attending a matinee performance of the Carolyn
Dorfman Dance Company. They are a contemporary dance troupe. Senior tickets
are $20 and we are planning to go out to dinner after the show. Please call Barbara
Fried or Elaine Nachshen if anyone would like to attend, who has not already signed
up. Hopefully there will still be tickets available. There will be no meeting at the
temple on 10/7, as was previously scheduled.
We welcome all single seniors 55+ at PBJC. We request for you to give us a try. Come to a meeting or join us for a

Mitchell Goldstein, President
Rabbi Mark Finkel
Pine Brook Jewish Center
174 Changebridge Rd
Montville, NJ 07045
President & CEO
Dear Rabbi Finkel and Mr. Goldstein,
On behalf of American Friends of Tel Aviv University, please accept our deep appreciation for
the fundraising efforts of the Pine Brook Jewish Center on behalf of the Tel Aviv University
Scholarship Fund for Reserve Combat Soldiers. These funds will be used to support Tel Aviv
University’s Returning IDF Soldiers from Operation Protective Edge.
While the hostilities appear to be over, the news from Israel continues to be tenuous with regard
to achieving a lasting peace. Some 86,000 IDF reservists had been called up to serve. The
students from TAU had to leave their summer studies and/or the jobs they had, and needed so
desperately, in order to save enough money for this coming year’s tuition.
Thanks to your congregants’ wonderful gifts, as well as those of others, our IDF combat
students will not have to worry about tuition next year. And those who need it will have access
to special tutors and psychological counseling services on campus.
We join with you in hoping our combat soldier students will return to their studies very soon.
They join many other people in Tel Aviv, and throughout Israel, who are grateful for your
support and for your expression of concern for our brave young men and women.
With sincere thanks,
!
Joseph Huber
Vice President, Northeast Region
Jon Gurkoff
National Chairman
