A Nuclear Iran and the Question of a Dress
Rabbi Jeffrey Clopper
Several months have passed, yet I am still thinking about that dress. Not the one my
daughter wore as she became a Bat Mitzvah (though I thought she looked fabulous); rather,
the dress that captured the nationʼs attention as we all wondered, “What color is that dress?”
Some said white and gold, while others opined blue and black. After several articles took up
the debate, it became clear that many factors influenced each personʼs perspective on that
infamous dress. What color was it? Well, it all depends upon how you saw it.
With shades of black and blue coursing through my minds eyes, my attention then turns
to the questions swirling around Iran. Now I do not want to seem to belittle the seriousness
of the situation or suggest it is on par with a matter of wardrobe selection. On the contrary,
I believe it is one of the significant international issues that “begs for our attention”.
For the past few months, I have poured through columns and punditry that either praise
or decry the current attempts at reaching an agreement. I have heard the President, a man
who by-and-large I respect, make a case for the current framework. I watched weeks ago
as Prime Minister Netanyahu, whose decisions I often find myself at odds with but still
recognize the difficult tightrope he must walk, presented his case before Congress.
Experts say one is right while the other is wrong, shades of color that become as stark as
black and white.
I am no political analyst, nor am I someone who can foretell the future (wouldnʼt it be nice
if I could). It would be wonderful to think that signed treaties would mean exactly what they
say; that once a document is created, both sides embrace the terms and keep to them
faithfully. Yet, I am not sure history would bear that up.
I know this is infinitely more complex than a color question. For the dress, there might
be a clearer answer. With Iran, I know it is not that simple. Rather than black or white,
it probably is much “grayer” than I will ever know.
Now, I watch and I hope. I hope that our leadership will be able to talk to each other and
figure out a way forward. I hope Iran will have a change of heart, choosing to regain a place
among the international community rather than standing against it.
But...from where I stand, it “looks” like neither of those things will happen.
All sides will continue to see it only from their own perspective, and the debate will drag on.
For now, I will hold my breath and watch. However, I will pray that there will be peace and
that the people of Israel and the Middle East will not have to fear the creation of more nuclear
weapons. If only it was as clear as picking out a new dress.
A Thank You and a Request
Diane E. Berg, RJE
Being honored at this monthʼs Temple Dinner Dance will be one of the high points in my life. Looking back on the many decades
both as a teacher and principal, it all seems so amazing. Many of the children I taught in fourth grade, and then in
Hebrew High School, have become parents with children in our school. Other alumni have moved away, but still keep in touch
on Facebook or sometimes drop in to see their “old teacher”. What an extraordinary gift it is to see them grow up and flourish!
And having a relationship with many of their parents and grandparents is also a blessing because I am always the first person in
the temple to see their pictures and hear the latest news. I share their pride and joy as well. Their kids are also “my kids.”
One of my favorite times of the year is when Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur arrive and I get to see many of our alumni.
It is our yearly rendezvous. The feeling of joy in seeing “my kids” again is just one of the emotional rewards that come from being
your educator. I profoundly thank you.
Now, I must ask for something more…help support our temple.
If you have learned anything from me, or used anything I taught you, or taught someone else something that you learned from
me, please make a donation to the temple. Nothing would make me happier than knowing you are helping our students and our
temple in the same way that prior generations did for you. Please help us assure a vibrant future by making a donation in my
honor. I will be forever grateful. Thank you for being a part of my life and for your continued love and support.
Elisa McDonagh, Membership Vice President
Get Involved
How can I help? What can I do to support and strengthen my temple family? Wonderful questions that we should be asking
ourselves, because in answering them, we not only help our temple community, but enrich our own lives as well. By actively
participating in temple life, we can make the temple a more vibrant place. We forge new friendships and enhance existing
relationships while also nourishing our personal Jewish journeys.
In this current climate of changing demographics and decreased temple affiliation across Long Island, we can make a difference
right here at home. The more we participate, the more engaged we feel and the stronger our connection is to each other.
Come and enjoy one of the varied Shabbat services. Come listen to the Junior Choir during a Family Service, or better yet,
ask your child if they would like to join Junior Choir. Lend your musical talents to a TGIS service, listen to a discussion of the
weekly parsha during a Torah Service, or just contemplate the weekʼs events during a moment of silent prayer and meditation.
Donʼt just drop off the kids in the parking lot, but follow them inside during religious school hours and have a cup of coffee with
other parents. Find your passion and explore it further in a temple activity or committee like Social Action, Project H.O.P.E.,
Outreach, Communications, Religious School or Fundraising. Donʼt know Hebrew? Take an adult education class. Start your own
chavurah with friends, or make new ones. Consider a sustaining membership to offset the financial burdens of other temple
families who need a little help.
There is so much opportunity just waiting for you. Temple Beth El is a very special place, made even more remarkable by the
individuals who call it home. Join us.

Marcia Schwalb, President
Simply Wonderful
We have a wonderful, supportive congregation - members come out to volunteer, they give their time, share their talents,
care and give financial support. All efforts are truly appreciated and enrich the lives of our entire congregation. As I make my way
to services or meetings, or Iʼm just hanging out at the temple, learning about opportunities to assist others and hearing stories
about others experiences lets me know how blessed I am to be a part of our temple family. It has been a pleasure sharing these
moments and learning with you these past two years as president. We have accomplished much that is good and more is to come
with as many congregants involved as possible. Paraphrasing comments from a thank you to our Rabbi Jeff and the temple
family from the parents of a recent Bat Mitzvah says it all:
“Many people at our daughterʼs service commented on how warm and inviting the service and you, Rabbi, seemed. Some even
asked if this was due to my serving on the board, to which I answered, ʼNo, this is what the Rabbi and the Temple are like.ʼ
As I sat on the Bimah, I was able to look out at the people and could not help notice how engaged everyone seemed....enthralled
by it all. It no doubt showed the magnitude of achievement that goes into becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah and the fact that the
party is secondary to the achievement. Temple Beth El is a very warm and inviting place. While a family can ʻdo a Bat Mitzvah
on the cheapʼ, to deny your child, your family, and yourself the once in a lifetime experience that only very few temples - perhaps
only Temple Beth El - can provide, is just foolhardy. Thanks for making the experience simply fantastic.”
I want to thank all our families - by being a part of Temple Beth El we are all giving each other a simply wonderful gift, a lifetime
of Jewish experiences to share together and with the Huntington community.
Have you thought about attending this yearʼs URJ Biennial 2015 - November 4th – 8th in Orlando? Iʼd like to invite you to join
me - there will be programming tailored to congregational leadership with four intensive “tracks” focusing on strengthening
congregations, audacious hospitality, Tikkun olam, and Torah l'shma (Jewish learning); as well as special programming and
discounts for congregations sending delegations. Bring your kids with you for a URJ Summer Camp experience at biennial.
For more information go online to http://urj.org/biennial
Also, please remember that our Congregational Meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 26th at 7:00pm. Youʼll want to come hear
our leadership share the news of the temple, to vote on our temple budget and the slate of nominees for Board of Trustees for
next year and make your voice heard.

Social Action Committee News
Carol Werblin, Social Action Chairperson
In March, the TBE Social Hall and Atrium was transformed into a baby emporium where families from the Dolan Family Health
Center, Family Service League and Tri-CYA “shopped” with their children at our Annual Purim Baby Boutique. We had so many
wonderful donations where we filled the Atrium with strollers, walkers, car seats and high chairs. Many shoppers were
expectant mothers who left with their arms and hearts full. Thanks to all of you who helped to give these newborns some of the
basics they need to get started in life.
March 31st marked the end of our tenth year as a respite site for HIHI - Huntington Interfaith Homeless Initiative. Once again
we partnered with HJC and ENJC to make sure that our guests had a warm place to stay and meals to eat all winter. Kehillath
Shalom and the Northport Presbyterian Church were also welcomed partners in the program this year, bringing volunteers to TBE
who spend time with our guests. We continue to host this program, thanks to an outpouring of generous volunteers and
donations. Much appreciation goes to Sisterhood and those who provided food, clothing, toiletries and linens, as well as to those
who gave their time cooking, setting up, cleaning up and chaperoning.
In April, Social Action held its Annual Spaghetti Dinner and Boutique. Due to a large donation of breads from Our Lady Queen
of Martyrs, and a delicious sauce from Nino and Kelley at Red, we were able to serve more than one hundred thirty five guests
a wonderful meal of spaghetti and meatballs. Once again, Reinwald's Bakery donated a delicious sheet cake that both our guests
and volunteers raved about. Special thanks to Mollie Sugarman and her wonderful kitchen staff for preparing a special meal.
Shop and help others at the same time…OurHarvest, a new local program, offers a unique way to reduce hunger in Huntington
when you buy groceries. For every twenty-five dollars spent on food from their web site, the program will donate a meal to a local
food pantry. Shop on-line for fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables, and then pick up your orders at Family Service League at
790 Park Avenue, at a designated day and time. To find out more about this program, please see: http://ourharvest.com/
Upcoming Events:
We are once again providing Motherʼs Day Baskets for local shelter residents. The much needed items are: toiletries, make-up,
stationary, large baskets and other items such as candles, perfumes, small frames. Please place donations in the Atrium basket
until May 3rd.
On May 17th and June 28th - Project H.O.P.E. Sunday Suppers at Moose Lodge in Greenlawn.
Coming in July - The Annual Community Barbecue. Look for details in an upcoming flier.
Special Thanks:
In March, I was named an honoree for this yearʼs Tri-CYA's Hall of Honor. As told to those in attendance, “It takes a community
of dedicated and compassionate people to make the difference that we do each day”. This community of caring people is
present here at TBE during the year and I would like to thank those who share my passion for making a difference in the lives of
many. Together we make the Town of Huntington a better place to live in.
Take Action! Make a Difference!

Sisterhood
Sisterhood Presidency: Giving and Getting
To say I was reluctant to take on the role of Sisterhood President two years ago would be a tremendous understatement.
Volunteering on the Board for four years prior, I wasnʼt sure I had enough experience to handle the position. What I found was
that it wasnʼt so much the hard work as being aware of all the activities being done. As President, I am the key contact for the
Sisterhood within the congregation and the outside world. That means I receive many emails every day from congregants,
outside vendors, artists, potential members and Women of Reform Judaism announcements. The hardest part for me was being
the filter of all this information and deciding how to delegate the activities.
My most important goal was to reach out to current members of our congregation and make them feel connected to our
Sisterhood. There are women who donʼt like to drive at night and some who are only available then. Working mothers and women
taking care of older parents have a difficult time finding spare time for themselves. We, on the Board, created events to fit into
their schedules while also maintaining events for moms who work at home and retired women. Some women prefer to come
to events with their spouses and others want time to do something on their own. Every event may not meet the needs of each
woman and we knew that. We wanted to make sure we had enough activities for different needs.
This experience allowed me to meet people I never would have had the chance to meet and to learn what was important to our
diverse population. I am grateful for this opportunity and hope that weʼve met your needs. If you are interested in creating a new
event, we are always open to different ideas and new volunteers!

President Menʼs Club - Brotherhood
Brotherhood
A Great Two Years
Well it has been a fast two years. One moment Tom Cohn is asking if I would consider being president of the Temple Brotherhood
and the next moment my two year tenure is over and Iʼm writing my last Brotherhood article for this bulletin.
This position did not come with a lot of physical perks. You donʼt get a gavel and you donʼt get a parking space in the temple
parking lot. What you do get is a copy of “Robertʼs Rules of Order” with a big note attached that says, “Never Ever Open, Ever.”
Iʼm proud to say I never felt the need to open it even once. The Brotherhood is more about comradery then parliamentary rules.
I would like to think I have served my comrades well. I have certainly had a good time doing it.
I would like to take this time to thank all of my fellow Brotherhood members for allowing me to represent you on our temple board.
You have given me the opportunity to help shape our temple community and befriend temple members I might not have even met
before. Thank you for Sukkah building, ushering and participating in our summer services. Thank you for sharing bagels and
knowledge at our Sunday morning meetings.Thank you for sharing friendship and fun at our Wine Tasting Dinners and
summer get together. Thank you for making it a great two years.
Quite frankly, the hardest part of this position has been writing the articles for this bulletin. Looking back, now that the last article
is done, that really wasnʼt so bad either.

We are so proud of our daughter, Halle, as she begins her
journey as a Jewish woman in our community. Temple Beth El
and Rabbi Clopper are both very meaningful to our family. We
have shared many wonderful life events at the temple and have
met some amazing congregants during this process. Halle has
enjoyed eight years as a student at our warm and inviting
Religious School.
Belonging to Temple Beth El has been very special to my
family. Hannah is learning to be a very caring member of the
Jewish community that I am very proud of. She always wants
to lead the prayers on Shabbat and she's always singing
Hebrew songs, even in the shower. I feel that the temple
experiences have made Hannah proud of herself as a young
lady and of her Jewish heritage.
For her Gʼmilut Chasadim project, Halle assisted with coaching
a second grade boysʼ basketball team. She shared her love
of basketball and thought it would be even more special
to share it with her little brother. Her Tzedakah project was to
collect toys and food for dogs and cats at the Little Shelter in
Huntington. As an animal lover, Halle struggles with the notion
that someone would ever abandon their pet and saw the happy
faces of the dogs and cats at Little Shelter. She knew right
away this would be the place with whom she would share her
gifts. Her creative project was a photo board filled with photos
of Jewish life from Brooklyn and Queens. Halle has become an
avid photographer and has taken an interest in other cultures.
Her becoming a Bat Mitzvah has been an amazing experience
for the whole family. We hope she passes on the values and
traditions she has learned along the way. Thanks to all who
have helped her learn and prepare for this most meaningful
time in her life!
Hannah will be playing the oboe at the synagogue during her
Bat Mitzvah services. The oboe is one of Hannah's passions.
Music has always been a big part of Judaism for Hannah. The
temple always has songs and music as part of the services.
In addition, Hannah's Chinese name, Yaxian means musical
in English.
Hannah will be collecting toys to donate to children at hospitals
to cheer them up. Hannah loves to be helpful and in make
others feel good. Helping children in the hospital comes
naturally to Hannah, since her sister has had to stay at the
hospital for many surgeries in her life. Hannah will also be
helping out at Long Island Cares as one of her projects.
My wishes for Hannah's future are that she continues
to embrace her Jewish background and attain all of her goals.
I hope she continues to embrace her love for reading. Reading
is a wonderful educational thing that Hannah has always done.
I also hope she never stops wanting to be so inquisitive and
interested in everything around her. My hopes are that Hannah
continues on the path that she is on. I love her very much and
I'm very proud of her.
Joseph Strickland – May 2nd
We are delighted that our son, Joseph Max Strickland,
is becoming a Bar Mitzvah this year. Joseph has worked hard
towards learning all of his prayers and his Torah portion.
In furtherance of his becoming a Bar Mitzvah, Joseph chose
a project that represents his long time interests as well as his
own charitable endeavors. Since he was young, Joseph has
studied martial arts at United Studios of Commack, including
Kung fu, Kempo and Jiu Jitsu. This year, Joseph should be
successfully obtaining his black belt. Over the past school
year, Joseph has dedicated part of his after school time in
support of the Best of Buddies Program at his school; this
program provides peer support for children with intellectual and
developmental disabilities. On April 11th, Joseph created and
will host a Kick-a-Thon at United Studios. Joseph is including
members of the Best-of-Buddies program, as well as students
at the Studio and his friends in this Kick-a-Thon. All of the net
proceeds will be given to the Best-of-Buddies Program. This
event combines all three concepts behind the Bar Mitzvah
Project into one. Through this event, Joseph is both giving back
to his community and meeting the charitable aspect as the proceeds that will be raised constitute Tzedakah. Finally, the
development of the Kick-a-Thon and the promotion of the
events are creative. We are delighted that Joseph has grown
into such a mature and caring young man, willing to give of his
time and energy to benefit and help others.
Lucy Biblow – May 23rd
Lucy began attending family services at Temple Beth El and
thinking about becoming a Bat Mitzvah some years ago.
She participated eagerly when her older siblings became
Bʼnei Mitzvah and she is excited and honored to be given her
chance to read from the Torah.
For her service project, Lucy will be assisting in an annual
cycling event that helps gather funds to provide housing for
AIDS patients. Her charitable contribution will be to donate
funds to that same organization, Housing Works. Finally, her
creative project will be the creation of a Yad; a symbol of her
participation in this important ritual.
Temple Beth El has nurtured important values in our children
that we hope will evolve further in their characters and in their
relationships to the world around them. We wish for Lucy
a lifetime full of peace, happiness and pride in all that she
endeavors to accomplish.

Dylan Isaac – May 20th
Daniel Shenkelman – June 6th
It is with great pride and joy that we announce that our son
Dylan Jacob Isaac will become a Bar Mitzvah on May 30th,
2015. Temple Beth El has been such a wonderful place for
Dylan to grow and learn. Rabbi Clopper, as well as Lenny Shaw
have been so positive and reassuring to all of us. They have
made the experience of becoming a Bar Mitzvah truly fun.
Temple Beth El is special to us because it is a warm and
welcoming place. We are very proud of Daniel as he
is preparing for his special day. We wanted to thank
Rabbi Clopper, Lenny Thaw, Diane Berg, and the rest of the
staff for making it such a great experience.
Daniel chose Project Hope for his Gʼmliut Chasadim project.
It is an eye opening experience for him to help those who are
less fortunate than he. With every passing day he is showing
us that he is maturing to become a diligent and compassionate
young man. Daniel is extremely bright and his interests are
boundless. We hope that through the teachings and values of
the Jewish faith, he will use his talents to make our world
a better place. We are excited to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah at
Temple Beth El, and have all of our family and friends to share
in his special day.
For Dylanʼs GʼMilut Chasadim he has decided to work with
Birthday Wishes. He will make two Birthday in a Box
packages. This will give children that are in a shelter everything
they need to have a great Birthday party. Dylanʼs Tzedakah
charity is the little shelter. We are going to be having
a fundraiser to provide the animal shelter with various things
they need. Dylanʼs creative project is making a Seder plate that
we will use for years to come.
As Dylan becomes a Bar Mitzvah he is on the journey
of becoming a man. We think he is a bright, funny and
compassionate person. His future will be truly blessed and
bright.
Diana Fogel – June 13th
Temple Beth El has become a very special place to us over the
years. Rabbi Clopper is an exceptional leader who has made
us feel welcome and we are thrilled that he has been an
integral part of Dianaʼs learning experience. Dianaʼs success is
also due to her wonderful teachers at Temple Beth El. And a big
Thank you to Mr. Lenny Thaw for guiding Diana through the
Bat Mitzvah process.
Daniel Lawson – June 6th
Temple Beth El is very special to our family. Danielʼs
grandparents were long standing members and his mother
became a Bat Mitzvah and received confirmation here. We are
very thankful for the teachers and staff who have been so
warm, encouraging and supportive over the years.
We are so proud of Dianaʼs enthusiasm over her Jewish
studies and becoming a Bat Mitzvah. She appreciates the
traditions she has inherited and understands how special they
are to her family and her community. That is why she has decided to look no further than her own backyard for her community
service project. She has participated in the Purim Carnival,
HIHI, the Baby Boutique and Project HOPE. She has learned
how fulfilling it can be to serve others and will continue in the
years ahead.
For Danielʼs service project, he has been working with Project
H.O.P.E., assisting in set-up of their Sunday Suppers. He also
participated in the Run For Hope, a 4 mile race, while helping
to raise funds for their program. For Danielʼs creative project,
he has chosen to create a poster board combining his love
of sports with Judaism, highlighting the lives and careers of
Jewish athletes.
We are so proud of Daniel on becoming a Bar Mitzvah! It brings
us great pleasure to watch our son grow into a mature,
responsible and compassionate young man. We wish him a
lifetime of happiness.
For Tzedakah, Diana will be honoring a special person in her
life by making a donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
We are bursting with pride over Dianaʼs accomplishments and
the beautiful person she has become, both inside and out.
