Star Wars’ Jewish Themes
By Rabbi David M. Eligberg
The means for achieving this elusive
balance are set forth in the two
trilogies and reflect metaphorically
various Jewish ideas.
Like Han Solo navigating the Millennium
Falcon through an asteroid field, I have
been avoiding the multitude of teasers,
trailers, articles and interviews about
the soon to be released Star Wars
Episode VII: The Force Awakens. So far, I
have been successful in holding my
curiosity at bay and avoiding the
growing temptation to peek at new
characters or pick up a plot line.
Succumbing to temptation would be
easy but would it be a Jedi thing to do?
Part of what has intrigued me about the
Star Wars series is that Star Wars has
presented us with an externalization of
the battle between the Yetzer Hatov
and the Yetzer Hara, the two rival
inclinations that operate within each of
us; moving us to act. Our ancient sages
recognized not only that these were
part of the inherent nature of human
beings but also that they are both
essential to our nature. The challenge is
to keep them in proper balance.
Through the arc of the narrative we
learn that Luke Skywalker is able to find
this balance whereas his father Anakin
fails to do so with disastrous
consequences.
The Force, the ultimate power that
establishes and animates the
universe is God. Awareness of the
force allows the individual to
maximize one’s potential but the
use to which we direct that potency
is determined by our choice; the
outcome of the struggle between
the Yetzer Hatov and the Yetzer
Hara.
On Friday, December 25 we will
have a special Star Wars Friday
Fun beginning at 3PM, with
Kabbalat Shabbat at 4PM followed
by snacks and additional themed
activities.
Jedi Knights strive to perfect their
awareness that the Force is
constantly watching and teaching us
through life events and direct their
efforts to the furtherance of what
we would describe as the good and
the Godly.
Walking with God is the highest
utilization of the power of the
individual. The Jedi Knight strives to
keep his mind focused and direct all
of their being to serve. The Jedi
learns that every bit of desire to go
against God creates distance.
Yoda, the venerable Jedi master
teaches an enduring wisdom that is
simple, yet profound. Yoda guides
his student to unlearn their limited
conception of the universe, helping
them in to discover the subtleties of
the world; to learn its truths.

Chanukah Extravaganza
By Cantor Rogerio Marx
10 years ago, Naomi and I received an
email that changed our lives forever.
The email stated that all bureaucracy
has ended, and we were given a green
light to bring Joshua home. The whole
adoption process felt endless and
unnecessarily hard. The moment we
received the email that we hoped for after 9 month from the
beginning of the journey, it felt like a true miracle. We heard
of so many horror stories and nightmarish situations, we felt
truly blessed.
We wanted to party with our families and our TI family the
best and biggest way possible. We decided to celebrate 2
miracles at the same time, the miracle of Chanukah and the
miracle of Joshua’s arrival. I just described above the birth of
the Chanukah Extravaganza.
We introduced Joshua to over 300 people that joined us for
the first Extravaganza. It was an incredible party; great ruach,
great fun, great food, great activities, great dancing, and great
music. TI’s Klezmer band was in its 6th month of existence
then, and we are still making music together, with many of
the original members.
December 13 we are going to join together for the 10th
Chanukah Extravaganza. In the past 10 years lots have
changed at TI, we welcomed new friends and said good bye
to others. I would love to recreate the feeling of 10 years ago,
the great ruach, great fun, great food, great activities, great
dancing, and great music.
For our 10th Chanukah Extravaganza we will have our party at
the Albany JCC. The festivities will begin at 5:00PM and will
end at 8:00ish, PM or AM – it will depend on you!
Sunday night the 13th is the 8th night of Chanukah. We ask
that all those who come to bring their own Menorahs, BYOM.
We will place them all in the front of the stage, under a
careful supervision of a fire extinguisher, and will light all the
menorahs together. It will look awesome. We will chant the
b’rachot together and sing some of our traditional Chanukah
songs as well.
3
We will have a bouncy bounce for the kids right at
5PM, and some activity booths, while the adults will be
entertained by our own Croupier, Bob Crystal, in a
thrilling Dreidel tournament, with prizes of the 1st, 2nd
and 3rd places. We will have a Latke Making
competition, 5 groups will battle for honor of calling
themselves the “Top Latke Chefs of the Capital
District”, actually, the “Top Latke Chefs of the free
World”. We will all be able to taste their attempts to
conquer this coveted prize.
TI’s Men’s Club will delight us with their cooking as
they have done for the last 9 Extravaganzas. Dinner will
end with the Donut (Sufganyot) eating contest. We will
have a kids and an adult separate competition.
Die Shaine Maidelach und Die Schmendriks will end
the program with some numbers from the old and new
repertoire.
I hope you will join us on December 13 at 5PM for our
10th Chanukah Extravaganza, celebrating 10 years of
Chanukah fun at TI and of having Joshua around.

A Message from Samuel P. Morris
A Message from the Cemetery
Committee
President
Hannukkah. No. Channukah. No, that’s
not it either. Chanukah. Yes, that’s it!
This time of year, we are asked often by
non-Jewish friends about our Festival of
Lights, yet we can’t even agree on how
to spell it in English. As children, we are
taught a story about a brave band of
Jews led by Judah Maccabee against Greek overlords. As we get
older, we learn that the revolt was actually against Hellenized
Jews. And the more you study it, the more complicated the
situation becomes.
“Most of us celebrate with candle lighting, games
(dreidel/sivivon), songs and parties. Temple Israel does
all of those things, this year culminating in the Tenth
Anniversary Hanukkah Extravaganza at the JCC. “
And why eight days long? We all know the story of the sacred oil
in the re-dedicated Temple lasting eight days, or the parallel with
the holiday of Sukkot being eight days long. We can also point to
the Book of Maccabees, Chapter 1: “Judah and his brothers with
all Israel ordained that the days of the dedication of the altar
should be kept in their season from year to year for eight days . .
. with mirth and gladness.” But maybe our holiday has eight days
because it is complex, and it could take at least that long to retell
and examine the whole story. Most of us celebrate with candle
lighting, games (dreidel/sivivon), songs and parties. Temple Israel
does all of those things, this year culminating in the Tenth
Anniversary Hanukkah Extravaganza at the JCC. Please see the
Cantor’s article in this edition of the Bulletin for details. So bring
your whole family, your Chanukah questions, your appetites,
your love of music and don’t forget your chanukiot and come
enjoy the Temple’s festival of light on December 13 at the JCC.
Our December celebrations continue with our annual dinner and
a movie on Thursday, December 24 at the Temple. More
information on this will be posted shortly. So whether you’re
celebrating the Festival of Lights at the beginning of the month
or a picture show at the end, just remember to always look on
the bright side of life.

The cleanup day in our Temple’s cemetery was a
great success. Flags on veterans’ graves were retired for the winter, litter was removed, trees
were trimmed, and leaves were raked. The congregation thanks all of those who participated in
this event, including Eugene Berkun, Jonathan
Carp, Barbara Gerberg, Joe Gerberg, David Ginsburg, Gary Ginsburg, Steve Justa, Amy Krenzel,
Sam Morris, Warren Rosenblum, and Neil
Rosenstrauch.

A Message from the Nursery School Director
By Amie Bloom
By the time you read this article 11 of our Early
Childhood teachers will have returned from an
incredibly motivating conference in Florida!
As someone who has been to the National Association
for the Education of Young Children conference before,
I can hardly wait to see the reactions of the teachers as
they enter a conference with over 30,000 other early
childhood educators!
There is something very powerful about being
surrounded by so many other people who work in the
same field you work in. People who struggle with the
same things we struggle with every day.
Questions like:
*How do we prepare our little ones for Kindergarten?
When Kindergarten is now a full day and it is so much
more academic, how do we focus on the value of
learning through play, while also ensuring that our
students are ready for Elementary School?
who help to ensure that our outside environment is a
place where children are learning and growing will all
be a part of this conference! I cannot wait to share
with you next month what we learned and some of the
highlights from the conference from the teacher’s
perspective.
*How do we ensure that we are on the cutting edge of
play based learning so that we are always seen as a high
quality early educational setting?
* With the increased numbers of children with different
learning styles, and different levels of special
educational needs, how do we meet the needs of these
students while also meeting the needs of the class as a
whole?
What types of sensory tools can we use in the
classroom? What types of learning opportunities can
we offer to ensure that all of our students learning and
growing?
* How do we incorporate Jewish values and educational
opportunities while also teaching our students all that
they are expected to learn before entering
kindergarten?
In the past the children went to Kindergarten in order to
learn ABC’s. Now the expectation is that they
will know their ABC’s and potentially even enter
kindergarten with some reading ability.
Field Goods!
As you can imagine, attending a conference like this
comes at a great expense- we are paying to fly 11
people to Orlando, we are paying for hotel, and
conference fees so that everyone has an opportunity to
learn and grow and continue to have The Herman and
Libbie Michelson Early Childhood Education Center be
a high quality program! If you would like to donate to
help offset the costs of the conference, please contact
Sierra Lynch in the office, 438-7858.
Two other Upcoming Opportunities to Support the
Early Childhood Education Center
Every week we get deliveries from Field Goods for our
Nursery School families and we
would like to invite you to also order
fresh produce and have it delivered
right to Temple Israel!
How does it work? It's easy! Visit the
Field Goods website and sign up for
a subscription. Each week a bag of Hudson Valley
Produce be delivered right to Temple Israel for
you. Subscriptions cost $21, $26, or $31 per week, and
$1 per bag delivered will be donated to the Center all
year long! Deliveries are on Wednesdays, and the bags
can be picked up from 10:30am until 5:30pm.
Barnes and Noble Book Fair and Chanukah Craft
Program!
Chanukah is coming, and if books are on your child’s
wish list, this is a great opportunity to purchase some
books and help the Nursery School at the same time!
When the teachers saw the list of classes that were
offered they were in awe. They are used to attending
local conferences where you choose from 10-12
seminars every hour. At this National conference we
will have the opportunity to choose from 75-100
seminars every hour. They will learn from the best and
the brightest Early Childhood Educators in the
Country! Specialists in play based learning,
incorporating Judaism in the classroom, and preparing
children for kindergarten along with the best science
educators, hands on art teachers, and even specialists
Join us at Barnes and Noble in Colonie Center on
Sunday, December 6 from 1:00-5:00! Barnes and
Noble will give us a percentage of all profits from 1:005:00 as long as you mention the Nursery School when
you make your purchases. Additionally, we will bring
Chanukah to life with Chanukah crafts in the children’s
section so you can shop while your children create!

Mifgash Shows Solidarity
On Sunday, October 25th, Mifgash
students participated in a special Israel
Hadar Gift Shop Presents
Temple Israel Art & Gift Show
Sunday, April 3, 2016
9:30 AM – 1:30 PM
Solidarity event. In order to make sure
that all of our students are aware of the
difficult situation that Israel has been
experiencing the past few weeks, we felt it necessary to plan
this program to inform the students.
In between our regularly scheduled classes, students gathered
to hear our faculty historian/current events teacher, Arnie
Adler, provide historical background information about the
intifadas and past conflicts, and information about the events
leading up to the current escalation. Mifgash Director, Ruth
Malka, whose son is currently serving in the Israeli Defense
Forces, personalized the situation by sharing stories of IDF
soldiers. Rivi Bahir, our Israeli faculty member, recited the
prayer for the State of Israel and lit a memorial candle for
those who have died. We concluded the service by all singing
Hatikvah.
Immediately following, the students were offered the
opportunity to participate in Henna Hands for Peace, in which
they could choose Henna tattoos of various symbols such as
Peace signs, flowers, doves, hamsas, etc…
Students were
engaged throughout this meaningful event and many chose to
show their solidarity with the beautiful henna tattoos.
Already in our third week of class, Mifgash has provided it’s
over 50 students, representing 9 area synagogues (as well as
several who are unaffiliated) with enriching and educational
opportunities and experiences, in addition to our interesting,
inspiring and engaging curriculum.

A Message from the Scholarship Recipients

Israel Experience by Max Tenenbaum
them within moments of meeting because you know that
A couple days into my month long study abroad session at Tel
Aviv University, I was homesick, as I knew I would be. After all,
what kind of good Jewish boy doesn’t miss his mother?
somewhere deep down, you share something with them,
and that’s pretty freakin’ cool. There’s no better place on
earth to be a Jew.
But during my first weekend there, I participated in a
school-sponsored trip to the Golan Heights, and that’s when
things began to change. The other international students I met
on the trip were some of the nicest and most interesting
people I’ve ever met. As we shared the experience of hiking
through the breathtaking Golan Heights, we formed close
bonds. Those bonds strengthened as we spent time together
seeing the Sea of Galilee, exploring ancient architecture in
Jerusalem, praying at the Kotel, floating in the Dead Sea, and
hiking through the desert. We wasted days on Tel Aviv
beaches and spent nights taking in the vibrant nightlife, but
that wasn’t the coolest part of Israel.

This summer I went on Israel Adventure Pilgrimage to
Israel with USY for four weeks. I met 29 other Jewish
The coolest part came on Friday nights. It didn’t matter if I was
teenagers from all around the country and quickly
with my roommates, or friends, or at some kibbutz, the Friday
became good friends with all of them. Of the many

That’s what being a Jew is about for me. Judaism doesn’t have
to be about ancient teachings or going to services or even
about God. Judaism is being a part of something bigger than
you. It’s about being able to meet another person for the first
time from some place in the world you’ve never even been
remotely close to and knowing that you share a common
ground with them. I spent time with Jewish people from
around the world, and each time I met someone new, I felt like
I already knew so much about who they were. It felt like
meeting distant relatives for the first time. You don’t even
know this person, yet you find yourself smiling and embracing

davening Shacharit with my friends was an amazing
experience that I will never forget. I also had the
opportunity to spend my free Shabbat weekend with
friends from Camp Givah who have made Aliyah and who
were studying in Israel for the summer. This journey gave
me the opportunity to go to Israel and witness and be a
part of the culture and see what things are like in Israel
first hand not just on the news. This trip helped me shape
my own perspective on Israel and strengthened my
connection to Judaism and Israel itself.

Star Wars’ Jewish Themes
Continued from page 2
The Jedi Knight is now able to connect with his internal moral compass and direct fountains of innate goodness. The Jedi thus
becomes devoted to the Force. By balancing our internal forces, the Jedi harness the galaxy and become one with the Force.
The Sith Warrior chooses a different path. Seduced by greed and power, the Sith follows the temptations of the Dark Side,
the Yetzer Hara – the self-destructive bodily forces that unchecked, pull us away from God.
At every step, life tests our discipline and conviction. The battle between the Yetzer Hatov and the Yetzer Hara, good and evil
is played out within each of us. Our challenge is to resist the temptations of the Dark Side and like a Jedi Knight be strong and
resolute in balancing the self.
May the Force be with us!
