Shavuot 5776
SHALOM As I prepare to say goodbye to TEPV, I want to tell you how pleased I am that you have succeeded in identifying the congregation’s needs and in finding a rabbi who can call forth your trust and collaboration. Mazal tov! I realize that there were plenty of things that I wasn’t able to do here, or didn’t have time to do, or didn’t even realize needed to be done. But a transitional rabbi serves a very different purpose than a settled rabbi. A transitional rabbi is like the friend you find after a breakup, a divorce, or the death of a partner. He is the person who helps you believe in yourself again. That is what I have tried to do. I have many outstanding memories of my year here: sharing special moments in your lives, both happy and sad; working with wonderful clergy and office staff; feeling uplifted by your participation in Shabbat and holiday services; enjoying the stimulation of your questions at our family and adult education programs. At this moment of transition, I am reminded of a passage in the Talmud which describes the greetings exchanged by the watchmen in the ancient Temple as they changed shifts. As the guards passed by each other, they would say, “We wish you love, we wish you brotherhood, we wish you peace, we wish you friendship.” As Randy and I leave TEPV, we wish you the things that so many of you have given us—love, brotherhood, peace and friendship. When I leave TEPV in July, it will not be appropriate for me to discuss any synagogue business with you—I will no longer be your rabbi. But I will always be your friend. Please stay in touch! You may contact Randy and me at [email protected] . Best of life, Rabbi David Klatzker Saturday night June 11

CANTOR’S NOTES
lessons that a new committee chair or trustee must learn is to suppress their individual needs for the good of the congregation; this is not a lesson always easily learned, but one that is vital to performing a successful leadership role in the community. The past two years have been momentous in the life of our congregation. We have witnessed significant change in our religious leadership. Cantor Biddelman’s retirement after almost fifty years brought a circumstance unknown to the vast majority of the membership. It has been a privilege for me this year to befriend Cantor Sokoloff and I wish to acknowledge and thank him for all he has achieved in his first year. Special mention should be made of his impact on a Bnai Mitzvah class who viewed this transition with much trepidation, but gained magical memories to last a lifetime. I am confident that the entire community will go from strength to strength with him as part of our spiritual leadership. With the unexpected resignation of Rabbi Shull, we turned to Rabbi Klatzker who proved to be a steadying influence in our congregation. His contributions are deeply appreciated. We will embark shortly on a new phase of our journey as a community with the arrival of Rabbi Monosov this summer. I am confident that she will be a strong leader who will touch every part of our community, and that this congregation will soar to new heights under her guidance. Finally, I would like to use this forum to thank all those who offered me unflinching support during my tenure. These include my family and friends, members of our clergy, the many volunteers, committee chairs and trustees, members of the executive and past‐presidents, as well as the educational, administrative and custodial staff. I worked hard to lead by example, but no task was concluded by me alone. It has been my privilege to serve the community; I am humbled by the trust placed in me, and am grateful for it. Mark Tanchel Dear Friends, Could it be? Are we nearing the end of our first year together? It seems like yesterday that you so warmly welcomed Erica and me into the TEPV family and the Woodcliff Lake community. There are many people to whom I owe a sincere debt of gratitude. At the risk of leaving anybody out, please know that each of you have a special place in my heart and I look forward to being your Cantor and teacher and friend for many years to come. I would be remiss were I not to acknowledge and show my appreciation to my new friend and our interim rabbi, Rabbi David Klatzker. Rabbi Klatzker came to our aid when we needed him most. He has guided us through our year of transition and helped to ensure that our future is bright. I extend to Rabbi David and Randy my best wishes for many years of success and happiness. Finally, I am thrilled that in July we will welcome to our congregational family Rabbi Loren Monosov together with her husband, Jeremy and their beautiful daughters, Hannah and Yael. I look forward to partnering and collaborating, learning and davening with Rabbi Monosov in the years to come. Cantor Alan Sokoloff President’s Message
This is the last entry I will write for The Bulletin as President of the synagogue. I hope that future presidents will also choose to use this publication to communicate with the membership. I have found it to be a useful vehicle to impart practical information, and also to share my observations about life in our community and a vision for our future. Being the president of a congregation is a labor of love. It is, in its essence, no different than the commitment that every volunteer or member of our lay leadership shows to do their part to for the good of the community. We are confronted with decisions of varying magnitude, but are guided by an overarching desire to do what is best for the whole. One of the most important TODAH RABAH TO ALL WHO KINDLY

celebrates survival while Pesah celebrates Liberation – with a capital “L”. What does this mean? It is a challenge in life to balance doing what has to done to get from one day to the next (as in Purim) with moments of transformation (as in Pesah). Both are necessary in Jewish history, as well as in our own lives today. Think about it . . . We need to go to work and make a living, but we also need time with our family and friends and to replenish ourselves. Our students need to work hard in school, but they too need time with family and friends and to replenish themselves. We need time for our secular pursuits, but we also need time to nurture our spiritual selves ‐‐ for reflection, God, community, comfort and celebration, all of which are there for us in our beautiful and wise religion. “For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven,” writes Kohelet (Ecclesiastes 3:), “. . . a time for weeping and a time for laughing, a time for wailing and a time for dancing, . . . a time for silence and a time for speaking . . .” A time for work and a time for rest; a time to be silly and a time to be serious; a time to reflect and a time to refrain from reflecting . . . a time for the day‐to‐day and a time for the Transcendent. We should recognize that we need both – and be careful that we do not sacrifice one for the other. A note of thanks, since my last bulletin article, we have had many wonderful programs. Among these were our guest speakers for our 7th graders. We would like to thank survivors Hanna Wechsler and Charles Ticho, and veteran of the Yom Kippur War, Moshe Rotstein. I would also like to share some photos from our fabulous 4th grade Kashrut brunch. Thank you to our students, teachers, aides, Kim, Sue Romanoff, parent volunteers and family guests – and a huge thank you to Margie for taking care of all the logistics! See our website for more photos. From Purim into Pesach If Purim is over, can Pesah be far behind? (Gasp!) We had such joyous Purim celebrations for all ages at Temple Emanuel. We thank our secret “angel” for the delicious food & Sisterhood and Men’s Club for the carnival & entertainment (Matty Roxx performed for the pre‐K – 2nd grades). Thanks too, to Cantor Sokoloff and his 7th grade students for doing our megillah reading for 3 – 6th grade students. How does Purim compare to Pesah? What a silly question, they are so different! One is serious and one is silly; in one we eat NO hametz and the other LOTS; in one, God is at the center of the story and in the other ‐‐ God is not mentioned even once! There are many other ways they are different: One is mostly a private home celebration, the other is very public. One is literally the first step on the way to our own land in Israel, the other is firmly set in the Diaspora. One is a harvest festival as well as a historical commemoration – Pesah is a pilgrimage festival in which the fruits of our harvest were brought and offered in the Holy Temple, while Purim takes place in a specific, urban setting that is not in our own land. As a result, Pesah is possibly more spiritual than Purim. Yet there are some commonalities. Among others, Purim and Pesah are both wonderful family holidays that are designed to be children‐centered; a time for inviting guests and giving to the poor (Matanot LaEvyonnim on Purim and Ma’ot Hittim on Pesah); they are both in the TaNakh, the Hebrew Bible (Pesah is in the Torah and the Purim story is in the last book of the Bible, Ketuvim or “Writings); we recite some (but not others) of the same prayers on both holidays. Both holidays celebrate our deliverance from evil. However, the first is short‐term and on a local scale while the latter is forever and for the people as a whole. In my opinion, the most important difference is that Purim 4
Early Childhood Program
Spring has brought renewed energy to the children and teachers alike. The opportunities to learn and play outside in our magnificent setting abound. We are delighted to be back in the playgrounds and the outdoor classroom. During April we were thoroughly immersed in the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of Pesach. Each grade had a spirited Seder in school where the children had the opportunity to share their knowledge of the wonderful story of Passover. We sang “Thank you God, we’re free!” Dayenu. All of the children will be singing on the bima for our special Shabbat evening service on Friday, May 13. Shabbat is a special time here in ECP every Friday morning, but there is extra spirit felt when we come to synagogue at night (well 5:30) with our families to celebrate with prayers and music and of course, food. The staff so appreciates the parents who volunteer to organize the dinner – and all the parents who step up to help year‐round. It gives us much nachas to “graduate” 35 of our ECP students as we send them off to kindergarten. There will be a special graduation ceremony on June 7. We know they are ready to move on and up and we are proud. Registration for Fall 2016 is on‐going. Plans are underway for another fun‐filled summer at our CAMP. We also invite high school students (15 and up) to volunteer with us in the summer. They will have a great time being adored by the young children and earn some service hours as well. It’s a mitzvah! Please contact us for information on camp or school. Here’s to sunny skies! Lisa Lonschein and Beth Hirschberg Temple Emanuel welcomes new

It seems like only yesterday when I was installed as Sisterhood President in June 2014. Two years later I can honestly say that time has flown by. There are so many outstanding people that have guided me, helped me and supported me throughout my tenure. I am grateful first and foremost to my wonderful Executive Board: Administrative Vice President: Debbie Wescott Ways and Means Vice President: Debra Feiler Program Vice Presidents: Lauren Gross and Michele Loskant Membership Vice Presidents: Karen Steinfeld and Wendy Zuckerberg Financial Secretary: Lisa Cohen Treasurer: Jamie Weinstein Corresponding Secretary: Jordana Engler Recording Secretary: Sandra Forman I would also like to thank past Presidents Lisa Lonschein, Susan Liebeskind, Cari Brandon, Robyn Reifman, and Sue Romanoff for their advice and guidance as well as Rabbi Kniaz, Rabbi Klatzker, and Cantor Sokoloff for their unwavering support. In addition to the clergy, I am grateful to the office staff ‐ Richard, Margie, Linda, Gail, and Marilyn – with whom I worked closely and got to know very well. Thanks also go to Anthony and Oscar from maintenance who set up rooms for every event, meeting, and program. Finally, to everyone who has led a committee, chaired an event, volunteered to help out, or attended one of our many amazing programs, I am sincerely thankful for your continued support of Sisterhood. Last but not least I would like to thank my wonderful family – my husband Brian and my children Brandon and Sabrina – for allowing me to take on this challenge for the past two years. They understood how much this opportunity meant to me, and they supported all of my efforts wholeheartedly. 12

Reading the website of the Jewish Theological Seminar, is like entering a wonderland of Judaism. The richness of its resources and intellectual and cultural offerings is a little overwhelming. It is hard to believe the modest origins of this world‐wide institution, founded in 1886. Two well‐known Rabbis, Dr. Sabato Morais and Dr. H. Pereira Mendes, met with lay leaders from Sephardic congregations in Philadelphia and New York with the vision to, in the words of the Seminary’s mission statement, “ preserve the knowledge and practice of historical Judaism.” From its first class held a year later of ten students (was this number chosen expressly so that they would always have a minyan?) to today’s large institution spread out on several continents, it produces exceptional leaders for Conservative Judaism, training rabbis, cantors, scholars, educators and lay activists who are “inspired by our vision of Torah and dedicated to assisting in its realization.” Thanks to the many dozens of members who have contributed to the JTS furthering its work, Temple Emanuel has played a role being part of the mission to underwrite the next generation of Jewishly literate and dedicated Conservative leaders. As a congregation we have more than met our financial goal for fund raising during the past four years. That is an accomplishment we should all be proud of. Enjoy your summer, and don’t forget the Torah Fund – it never goes on vacation! B’Shalom from your co‐chairs, Eileen Mandel and Debby Barcan 13
