L'hit-ra'ot -- Until We Meet Again
As Hannukah approaches and we prepare to bring light into
the darkest season of the year, I am also preparing to say
goodbye to this wonderful community at Temple Ner Tamid.
There are so many ways that my time here as your rabbi has
shaped my life for the better -- there are too many to count!
But in honor of Hannukah, and as a way of expressing my
tremendous gratitude, allow me to share 8 ways that you have
brought light into my life in the past 4 years:
1. You took a chance on me. As a new, untested rabbinical
school graduate, you hired me and gave me the opportunity to
put all of my learning and preparation to the test. I'm sure I
made many 'rookie mistakes', but I have learned so much from
this opportunity.
2. You opened your door to a woman rabbi. Not every congregation is ready for female rabbinic leadership, and I know that
I was your first. I hope it was as good an experience for you
as it was for me, and that you will know many women rabbis
in the future.
3. You allowed me to share my love of Torah with you. In
adult education classes, during Divrei Torah at services, and
in every other informal way - sharing Torah with you has
nourished my soul.
4. We have shared more than 200 Shabbatot together. With
prayer, song, good food, and thoughtful discussions, you have
helped make Shabbat a joyful, rejuvenating day every week.
5. You shared your children with me. I have so enjoyed
spending time with your children at family programs and b'nei
mitzvah. I have loved envisioning how the next generation of
Judaism will thrive as your children grow.
6. You have welcomed my children. It has been a singular
pleasure to welcome my two sons into the Jewish community
at Temple Ner Tamid. Even though my family is not
'traditional', we have known nothing but love and support
from all of you - they (well, probably just Joey) will miss you
as much as I will.
7. You have allowed me to accompany you at difficult times.
Believe it or not, I love officiating at funerals. It is a tender
and special time in a family's life, and it is always an honor to
be there for families surrounding the loss of a loved one.
Thank you for allowing me to do this holy work.
8. You've shown me how much a small group of dedicated
volunteers can accomplish. Our volunteer leadership brings to
mind the famous Margaret Mead quote: "Never doubt that a
small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the
world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for these four years. I
sincerely hope that this is not 'goodbye', but 'l'hit-ra'ot' - until
I see you again. Wishing you all a chag urim sameach - a joyous and light-filled Hannukah!
L'Shalom,
Rabbi Deborah Zuker

Hi Everyone,
Please join us on December 4th for Friday
night services followed by an Oneg Shabbat to pay
tribute to Rabbi Zuker for her years of spiritual
leadership of our congregation. As you all know,
Rabbi Zuker has decided to return home to Canada
to be with family. We wish her well as she embarks
on this next chapter in her life along with her two
boys.
This fall we began having monthly community dinners with Rabbi Bernie. They have been
very well received by all who have attended. The
evenings have been entertaining, with a lot of energy in the building. I would like to thank everyone
that has helped to make these events so successful.
The next dinner will be on December 11th and I encourage you to attend.
Mark Rudin and his Restricted Funds Committee have been working diligently to clean up
some of our older funds. This project has been going on for many years and I am happy to report that
Mark and his committee successfully presented 9
motions to the Board to accomplish this task.
The Rabbi Search committee has also been
very busy. At the last board meeting, I took a straw
poll to determine what we were searching for and
the consensus of the board was for the search committee to interview for a full time Rabbi. The committee has been meeting and working hard to fill
out all of the applications needed to start the process to find candidates. After we review some resumes, and select some candidates, we will begin
bringing some here for a Friday evening or Saturday morning service so that congregants will have
an opportunity to meet them. Until we hire a full
time Rabbi, we will continue to provide coverage as
needed.
As always, I encourage you to reach out to
me with any questions or concerns.

vices are too long. Unless we have an extra long
Chanukah is a holiday that appeals to all our senses, Torah portion or Haftarah, the service usually ends
but what happens when the light finally diminishes? safely by 11:45 am.
How do we react when all the gift paper and the 44candle box have been recycled? The last night of
Chanukah is December 13th, which takes us right to
the 12 days of...Chinese food. So...how do we remain joyful?
Fortunately, the collaboration of the Jewish calendar
and the wise leadership of Temple Ner Tamid have
concocted a number of elixirs.
So, with out further ado, here are eight suggestions
for conquering the post-Chanukah blues.
How did I do? Does your glass menorah feel half
full? Feel free to let me know what you think. In the
meantime, let us wish Rabbi Zuker and her young
family safe travels and abundant success as she returns over the border. It has been a true honor and
pleasure to work with and learn from her!
1) Eat! On the sixth night of Chanukah (December
11th), we will enjoy another TNT Friday night dinner with Rabbi Bernie, all of which have been wildly
successful. But over the final Fridays in December,
wouldn't it be wonderful for families to invite other
families over for Shabbat dinner? Perhaps grandparents with distant grandchildren can invite an unrelated young family, and longtime congregants can invite the most recent ones. I won't be offended if you
show up late for Friday night services.
At Kol Nidre, Janice and I had the inspiring task of receiving your food donations for Project Isaiah. It seemed like
every family brought food - a wonderful way to begin our
most holy of days. We filled the office and back room
with bags. The day after Yom Kippur six of us sorted the
food before packing in bags for delivery to The Haven
from Hunger, The Jewish Family and Children’s Service
Family Table, and the Danvers People to People Food
Pantry. (See the TNT Facebook page for a video showing
the food collected.) We gave out about 150 bags in total,
each facility receiving 300 pounds, quite a feat for a Temple of our size.
The coat drive was Nov.15. Thank you to all who brought
in coats and to the Sisterhood for providing coats from the
rummage sale. Coats will be cleaned by Anton’s cleaners
and distributed to homeless shelters in the Greater Boston
area by Jordan’s Furniture.
Six of us helped serve supper at the Haven from Hunger
on Nov 19th. Earlier that day there was a food pantry at
the Haven and there were a reported 150 people who came
for food. Then we came in at 3:00pm and we had to transform the hall back to a dining arrangement. By 4:00pm
people were coming in to a clean dining room, at 5:00pm
supper was being served and 40+ guests including several
children left by 6:00pmhaving had a good meal in a supportive environment.
In addition the next day the Haven was preparing to give
out Thanksgiving gift bags and turkeys. Consequently the
facilities were taxed to capacity. Two of the volunteers
ended up spending most of their time helping assemble the
gift bags (cans of vegetables, cranberries and gravy; packages of potatoes, stuffing, and candy). We received many
thank you's from staff and guests. We are planning to
serve on the third Thursday of every other month. We
need more volunteers. Please notify the office of your
interest.
2) Illuminate with a braided candle! On December
19th, Temple Ner Tamid is having a family Havdalah service featuring a dairy dinner, a Havdallah
themed craft and a Havdallah story, featuring our
High Holiday spiritual leader Jessica Lowenthal. All
are welcome, but please note--it starts at 5pm.
3) Celebrate (with us)! December birthdays, anniversaries, and all bearers of good news, join us on
Friday night or Saturday morning and we will honor
you with anything from a hearty "Mazal tov!" to an
aliyah (Saturday only).
4) Appreciate music! I will be introducing some
new and some gently used melodies for various prayers, and I will gladly accept requests, particularly for
metrical prayers like L'cha Dodi, Y igdal (Friday) as
well as Eil A don and A don Olam (Saturday).
5) Collect!
I know various congregants have
worked quite hard organizing our winter coat drive.
Hopefully our efforts can quadruple over the weeks
between Chanukah and January.
6) Exercise! Beat your January 1st resolution by a
few weeks, and develop an exercise routine. With
Pilates, Zumba and Israeli dancing at Temple Ner
Tamid, the synagogue is a one-stop cardio building
spiritual center.
Chag Urim Sameach, (Happy holiday of lights)

Recent Happenings:
At our teacher /madr ich bimonthly meeting on November 15th, we learned new techniques for communicating with students and interpreting
students’ behavior through effective communication.
Teachers took part in an interactive activity to play the role
of the student who may have difficulties understanding
directions. It was an eye-opening experience for everyone
and gave us as teachers, a forum to share ideas for making
our classrooms safe and comfortable environments for our
students to communicate in the best way they can. It was a
great meeting and a chance for all of us to learn from each
other.
The Kindergarten and First Graders did a wonderful job
participating in the family service on Friday November
20th. Todah Rabah to their teachers, Miss Rebecca and
Mrs. Cheryl and their madrichot, for preparing the students
so well!
I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving with friends
and family and more importantly, for those who get up early, a rewarding day of Black Friday shopping.
Lastly, a very early Happy and Healthy New Year to all! I
hope 2016 brings you all that you are hoping for!
L’Shalom
