Happy Chanukah
First Candle - Tuesday, December 20
FROM THE RABBI’S DESK
By Rabbi Alan B. Lucas
A Parent’s Responsibility
I was overwhelmed by the turnout
at the recent program we cosponsored featuring Dr. Wendy
Mogel, internationally acclaimed clinical
psychologist, parenting expert and
New York Times best selling author
of “The Blessing of a Skinned Knee”
and “The Blessing of a B Minus.”
More than 800 people came and hung on her every word.
She was informative and entertaining and clearly there is a
desire to learn.
Parents now more than ever feel at a loss. I believe that
what has changed is not that the world is a more confusing
place – it has always been so. What has changed is that the
old structures that provided new parents with guidance and
wisdom are not as available as they used to. Grandparents
are off pursuing their own lives, and sometimes live far away
– and more then ever young parents feel left to themselves
to find their way in a challenging and confusing world.
We can help. I believe the synagogue and Jewish tradition
can provide the kind of guidance and wisdom that parents
desperately need. Programs like our Morei Derech – are
designed precisely for this purpose. The idea behind our
Morei Derech program is to bring young parents and “more
seasoned” parents together and to study and learn with our
rabbis and educators what Judaism has to say and offer as we
all work our way through the challenges of raising children.
What are parents’ obligations to their children: To love
them, to feed them, to protect them?
Isn’t it interesting that the Torah does not speak of such
obligations? Nowhere in the Torah is there a requirement
to love your children. Nowhere is there a mitzvah to feed
them. There is a discussion of parental responsibility in the
Talmud in the Tractate of Kiddushin (29a) where it speaks
of some of the detailed requirements of a parent to their
child – but again it does not speak of these basic things
rather it speaks about our obligation to circumcise our sons
and marry them off and teach them a trade and even to
teach them to swim – but not a mention of love, sustenance,
clothing or the need to provide a roof over their heads. Dr.
Micha Goodman a Fellow at the Hartman Institute and
professor of Jewish Thought offers a possible explanation.
A parent does not need to be taught to love their child. As
parents we do not need to be taught to feed, to clothe to
protect and care for them—we do these things the same
way that we don’t need to be taught to breathe or feed
ourselves – they are inherent in who we are as parents.
But we do need to be taught to educate our children, to
reach them a trade even how to swim. Why are these things
different? From the very first moment you hold that infant
in your arms – you as a parent understand that your child is
dependent on you for most of his or her basic needs.
needed. But there comes a point when our children must
become independent of us – when they must live on their
own, love on their own and to do the things we need to do
as parents to help them achieve this independence – well
that does not come so easily and certainly not naturally.
Here the Torah must require us to do these things that we
might not come to do on our own.It is a wonderful insight.
The responsibilities of a parent are two-fold: to provide
for our children when they are young all the things they
depend on us to provide. And then, as they grow, our job is
to help them develop the skills, the insight and the wisdom
they will need to make it on their own.
I love teaching High School students. My hours teaching in
our Machon Beth Shalom with our High School students
are amongst the most challenging and most fulfilling
hours that make up my week. I love dealing with young
people precisely as they are navigating the transition from
dependence to independence and sharing with them the
wisdom of our tradition to help guide them as they do so.
The biggest fear a parent has is that as we step back and
encourage our children to step forward on their own – we
fear that due to immaturity and lack of experience they will
make decisions that will hurt and harm them irreparably.
It is one thing to stand back as our toddler takes their first
step – knowing they may fall down and go boom. It is
quite another when we hand over the keys to the car and
know that a mistake, or bad judgment can be fatal.
It is not made any easier when we open our newspapers
every day and read of the tragic results of good kids who
make bad judgments and end up seriously injured or worse.
What is a parent to do?
Two thousand years ago the rabbis of the Talmud taught us
of the need to guide our children and give them the skills
and wisdom to become independent. The challenge is no
less important today.
I hope you will allow your synagogue to help you grow
and develop as a parent. I hope you will seek out more
information about our various programs and come and
study with us – so the wisdom of our sacred tradition can
help you – as it has helped and guided the generations that
have preceded you.

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK
By Marc Magid
Happy Chanukah! Enjoy Our Many Social Events!
With Chanukah, the Festival of
Lights, just a few weeks away, we
are in a celebratory mood at Temple
Beth Sholom evident by this month’s
many social events featuring great
entertainment. We start off with our Friday Night Live service and dinner
welcoming our new members on December 2 and conclude
the weekend on Sunday, December 4, at 4 p.m. with an
electrifying concert featuring Rick Recht, the country’s
top touring musician in the Jewish music circuit. He is an
exceptional entertainer who has become an icon for Jewish
youth, instilling pride and uplifting Jewish identity in his
audiences. This concert is sure to be a real treat for the entire
family. Ticket prices range from $5 for children ages 2 to 6,
$10 for children ages 7 to 17, and $18 for adults. Just prior to
the concert, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., there will be a Beth Sholom
Day Camp Reunion and Camp and Early Childhood Center
Open House.
On Saturday, December 10, at 8 p.m., join us for our second
annual Comedy Night. This event will feature three comics:
Johnny Lampert, Moody McCarthy and Sherry Davey. Please
BYOKB and BYOF (bring your own kosher bottle and bring
your own friends), and we will provide the snacks. The event
costs $20 per person in advance and $25 at the door. There is
one thing I can guarantee: Anyone with a funny bone will be
in for some really good laughs!
The next morning, on December 11, the Men’s Club is running
a blood donation drive at the Temple. All donors will receive
a coupon for a free pint of soup at Ben’s Deli. Please call the
office at 621-2288 to schedule an appointment. This is a great
opportunity to help others with what could be a life saving
gift. Also that morning is our PTA-sponsored Book Fair, a
great place to purchase books and games for Chanukah gifts.
Books for adults will also be available.
Please Save the Date for Our Big Social Event
Coming on Saturday, January 28, is our third annual Disco,
Dinner & Denim Night, where you can dance up a storm
while supporting our fundraising efforts. The raffle prizes and
silent auction items at this event are very distinctive, desirable
items just waiting for you to bid on them.
Our Shabbat services are always evolving, as Rabbi Lucas,
Rabbi Beyer and Cantor Barnoy in conjunction with our
Religious Affairs Committee work together to enhance our
worship. To make it easier for our congregants and to improve
the flow of our Torah service, we are asking people to stand at
their seats and announce the names of those for whom they
pray for good health, rather than come up to the bimah. This
will allow everyone who wants to say misheberach for a relative
or friend who is ill to do so easily. If you, yourself, are not
well enough to attend services, fill out the misheberach form
on our website under the Prayer tab, and our clergy will
announce the names you request on your behalf.
Rabbi Beyer launched Minyan Nafsheinu service on Rosh
Chodesh Cheshvan, October 29. This new format provides
a relaxed opportunity for prayer and insight into the
Shacharit service, and it concludes in time for participants
to join the congregation in the main sanctuary for the
sermon and Musaf service. Minyan Nafsheinu will meet
next on December 3 and January 7. See you there.
This year at TBS we are starting an initiative to enable
our clergy to meet and socialize with groups of our
members. If you and your family have not had a chance
to get to know Rabbi Lucas, Rabbi Beyer, and Cantor
Barnoy personally, let our office know and we will see to
it that you are included.
New Caterer Looks Forward to Serving You
Joseph Craig Catering, our new caterer, is updating
the décor of our function rooms, and has painted the
ballroom and installed new lighting. The chef ’s Glatt
Kosher cuisine is absolutely delicious! Craig Weinberg,
one of the partners, is booking parties for our congregants
and other members of the community. He looks forward
to working with you on your simcha, so please feel free to
contact him directly at 621-8200.
On behalf of myself, my wife Amy, and the TBS Board
of Trustees, best wishes to your and your family for a
Happy & Festive Chanukah. Let us celebrate the Festival
of Lights, which commemorates Judah Maccabee’s
victory over Antiochus in 165 B.C.E., with a reverence
for miracles! Just as one day’s worth of oil lasted for
eight days, and the small band of Maccabees defeated
their much larger foe, let us believe that ultimately,
righteousness will prevail in the world and that all of
Israel will know peace.
Shalom chaverim, Shalom friends,
Marc Magid
Join us on December 2nd

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
By Donna Bartolomeo
People constantly marvel about the fact that TBS
always has so many individuals attending programs,
lectures, classes, etc. After the holidays were over, the
Herbert Tarr North Shore Institute for Adult Jewish
Education began, which features a variety of classes
and fascinating lectures on Monday nights in October
and November got off to a great start. For the first
lecture we had over 400 people in our sanctuary.
Coming up on December 4 we will be having the
Rick Recht concert and Comedy Night on December
10. Both events are sure to be well-attended. And
don’t forget our annual Blood Drive -help others by
donating blood on December 11.
As you heard on Kol Nidre, Temple Beth Sholom has
been awarded the Homeland Security Grant. We have
been granted $75,000. During the next few months,
you will start to see the security improvements in and
around the Temple.
Last year, following membership approval we began
replacing the roofs on our building. The next stage
was just completed successfully in the Wingate Center
and we expect to stay dry and warm for years to come.

FROM MBS
By Gila Hadani Ward, Director of Lifelong Learning
Each month, I am pleased to share an article from a different
member of the Machon faculty. The following article comes
from Loen Amer, who also serves as our Youth Director. She
writes about one of the highlights in our year – our Rosh
Hodesh groups. She explains everything in her usual energetic
fashion. I will let her do the writing.
Hodesh Tov (a good month),

LEARNING FROM MY STUDENTS EVERY MONTH
By Loen Amer, Youth Director
I love being a Machon teacher! Last time I was asked to write
a bulletin article, it was a top ten list of the reasons I love
Machon so much. Machon is a fabulous supplemental Jewish
high school, providing stimulating, substantive learning to
different kinds of teen learners. Machon combines formal
education in the study track, with the significant social
interaction of youth group in USY, and learning through
active social action projects in the “Gimme 10.” As much as
I love Machon, one of the things I most love about it are the
monthly Rosh Hodesh groups (which means I love Rosh
Hodesh groups so, so much!).
Rosh Hodesh is the first day of the new Hebrew month. The
Rosh Hodesh groups for young women at Machon are based
on the Rosh Hodesh: It’s a Girl Thing! curriculum, a program of
Moving Traditions. Temple Beth Sholom was initially a pilot
site for the project, and it has been successful here for years.
There is a traditional assignment of Rosh Hodesh in Judaism
as a day scared to women. It is the perfect time for teenage
young women to meet for discussion, art work, and Jewish
study about issues such as body image, friendship, stress,
romantic relationships, academic pressure, and family. As an
egalitarian congregation, we of course also offer a program for
young men, “Bro Hodesh.” At the beginning of each Hebrew
month, groups of guys meet for activities and discussion that
bring meaning to their lives and create positive Jewish identity.
I am very excited to announce that this year we will also be
inviting day school students to join the new groups for the
eighth and ninth graders.
Until last June I was privileged to facilitate a group for the young
women of the Machon class of 2011. Each month the teens and I
would play games or create artwork, and discuss issues relevant
to their lives based on traditional Jewish themes for that month.
The “Rosh Hodesh Cloth” of the class of 2011
The Talmud quotes the great rabbi, Rabbi Chanina as having
said, “I have learned much from my teachers, more from my
colleagues, and the most from my students” (Ta’anis 7a). Any
good teacher knows the deep truth of that statement. I have
often learned so much from my students. Though I’ve often
had the wonderful experience of learning from students,
it has never been as often true for me as it was in the
Rosh Hodesh group. I’m confident that I learned far
more from those young women than they did from me.
I also know they learned a tremendous amount from
each other, reflecting the second part of Rabbi Chanina’s
statement, of having learned “more from my colleagues.”
Our Rosh Hodesh group was a wonderful learning
community, of which I loved being a part.
This year, I confess that I’m nervous about my new Rosh
Hodesh group of eighth graders. I had such a positive
experience; how can a new group even come close? As
was often the case, wisdom from last year’s group has
reassured me. When discussing the nervousness of
graduating high school and moving to college they were
all experiencing last year, one of them pointed out that
even if the future is scary, it would be worse if things
never changed at all. Of course, she was right. I plan to
learn just as much from the eighth graders this year. I
am excited that the Machon and day school students will
be creating a community of wonderful teens together.
Even if it is scary, how can that be anything other than
fantastic?

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL NEWS
By Sharon Solomon, Religious School Director
Our students and families fulfilled the
mitzvah of Tikun Olam – Repairing
the World, when they helped our Long
Island neighbors in need recently. We
extend a huge Yasher Koach to Kitah
Gimel (3rd grade) who went to visit Sun
Harbor Nursing Home in Roslyn, to
Kitah Daled (4th grade) who cooked for
the INN Interfaith Nutrition Network,
to Kitah Hay (5th grade) students who went to the Atria
Assisted Living facility in Lynbrook and to Kitah Vav (6th
grade) who helped feed the hungry on Long Island.
Each one of us can make a difference if we each lend a hand
to those less fortunate. It is very easy to buy games and just
give tzedakah but it rises to a different dimension when our
children and families give up their time to support and visit
the elderly or disadvantaged in our local community. These
acts of loving kindness (Gemilut Hasadim) displayed by our
families created and left powerful, positive Jewish memories.
As we now begin the month of December, many exciting
learning opportunities and activities are in store. We look
forward to our annual Book Fair, which is sponsored by
the Religious School PTA. Please support our PTA by
purchasing your Chanukah gifts, books, and games at this
big fundraiser, scheduled for Sunday, December 11th. Please
mark your calendar!

opportunity over the course of the school year to read a
book to the class and facilitate learning on Jewish topics/
holidays. This joint parent-child experience culminates
each week with a hands-on class project that truly
engages the class and family. This is a fine example of
the family/home connection that Temple Beth Sholom
Religious School strives so hard to achieve.
Our Chanukah Assembly/Celebration/Candle-lighting
will take place on Tuesday, December 20th at 5:00 pm.
There will be regular classes from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. We
will then enjoy dancing, singing, and sofganiyot (jelly
donuts). Of course, we will feast on latkes, courtesy of
our Men’s Club. Toda Raba to Joe Bruck, President of
the Men’s Club and his crew for making our Chanukah
so special. We will also have Chanukah raffles, prizes
and so much more!
It’s time to start planning your Chanukiah masterpiece!
The theme for our annual Chanukiah-thon will be “The
Miracle of Chanukah”. All Chanukiot will be on display
on Tuesday, December 13th, and will be judged by our
famous, impartial judges: Rabbi Lucas, Rabbi Beyer,
Cantor Barnoy, Donna Bartolomeo and Marc Magid. We
encourage everyone in grades Gan – Zayin to participate
in this fun event. Prizes will be awarded for the most
original, most artistic and most related to the theme!
This year, students in grades 4-7 (Daled-Zayin) are being
challenged to enter our Chanukah Poetry/Song/Video
Contest by submitting original work, also focusing on
“The Miracle of Chanukah” theme. The grand prize will
be a camera as well as two runner-up prizes – gift cards/
games. Here is your chance to show off your creative
talents, and who knows, we might just have a You-Tube
media sensation in our TBS midst!
I wish you and your family a Happy Chanukah that is
filled with joy and light.
The Religious school PTA has been busy this academic
year! We started off the school year with a welcome brunch
meeting in September. It was great to welcome many new
parents looking to be involved in enhancing their children’s
Religious school education!
A HUGE thank you to all of the families that helped to
decorate our Temple’s sukkah. We had dad’s on ladders
hanging decorations up high, moms all around and children
making paper chains and hanging the wonderfully, creative
masterpieces that our children made during Religious school
under the auspices of their talented art teacher. The sukkah
looked fantastic!
Our first two fundraisers have been major successes! We are
collecting Box tops all year. Please look for collection boxes
at the Temple entrances. If you have not purchased your
KidStuff book, the next opportunity will be at our Religious
School Chanukah Book Fair on December 11th.

TORAH
FUND
By Lisa G. Schlesinger
Every year Jim and I have the pleasure of gathering together
with our daughters and their families
and other relatives for a Chanukah
party. We light candles together (a real
pool of light) and we exchange gifts. It
is a fun filled evening. The highlight of
the fun is the singing. We sing all types
of songs including all five verses of
Maoz Tzur. But I want to write about
one of the other songs. It is a ditty
about how it wasn’t Judah Maccabee
who won the war against the Syrians,
but rather it was Mrs. Maccabeus.
It tells about how it really was her Latkes that did the work.
It is a silly song but it contains a powerful message. History
concentrates on the deeds of great men but always forgets
that behind them were wives who deserved great credit for
Sisterhood Brunch & Learn
Brunch and Learn is a wonderful learning opportunity for all
members of our congregation, not just sisterhood members.
Please join us for exciting lectures and great company.
their silent service. In today’s world we are much more
cognizant of the role women have played and are playing.
It has been my pleasure over the past umpteen years to
be involved in a project of women, Torah Fund. This
is not behind the scenes. This is an area where women
throughout the country take it upon themselves to take
the lead and make it possible for young men and women to
study at the Jewish Theological Seminary, Ziegler School,
Schechter Institute and Seminario Rabbinco to become
the Rabbis, Cantors and Jewish Educators for the future. As the tax year comes to an end, those of you who
have not yet made a special gift to Torah Fund, please
remember Torah Fund as one of your charitable
contributions for 2011.
Happy Chanukah!!!

SISTERHOOD
SCOOP
By Beth Eichenholtz & Mahvash Zarabi Co-Sisterhood Presidents
Sisterhood is looking forward to a fascinating program, “ A
Conversation about Archie Rand,” at its next meeting on
Thursday, December 8 at 8:15 P.M. Archie Rand is one of the
most progressive American Jewish artists of the 20th century
and the leading proponent of Biblical content in modern art.
If you’ve noticed the colorful exhibit of his paintings in the
Temple and read about it in the October Bulletin, you know
you’re in for a real treat. Bat-Sheva Slavin, TBS’s museum
curator, will share her insights with us about three of Rand’s
most important series of works on exhibit here that bring the
Bible to life!
Please join us for Sisterhood Shabbat on January 21 when
our members lead the Shabbat service and join us for a
festive luncheon afterwards. This is always a very meaningful
experience. You’ll enjoy it most if you participate on the
bimah, so please contact Madeline Yousefzadeh at 621-7027
or Sara Most at 625-2537, our education vice presidents, to
request a part in either Hebrew or English.
It’s been a busy autumn for Sisterhood, with the start of
Rabbi Beyer’s Judaism 101 Class on select Tuesday nights
throughout the year, and our Monday morning Robert Perla
educational program. We also started several weekly Yoga
and Zumba exercise classes as well as Mah Jongg classes.
Cantor Barnoy delighted us with his singing and keyboard
accompaniment at our Sukkot celebration and we recently
held a very enjoyable Paid-Up Membership dinner. Thank
you to Robin Simonson, program vice president, and Rebecca
Altman, membership vice president and event chair; Shari
Schnitzer for seating arrangements; Susan Brown for
handling the Jewish New Year cards; Amy Magid and Cindy
Katz for securing raffle prizes; and to Adele Flescher and
Helaine Kurtzman for handling registration.
Also, our thanks to Roberta Zeldis for chairing the shiva
meals committee; to Judith Seltz and Mahnaz Pourrabbani
for chairing our luncheons for seniors, to Lyn Greensher
for overseeing the Judaica Shop, to Rebecca Altman for
membership and to Miriam Silverman for publicity. There
are too many others who help us to mention here but todah
rabah to all.
