MEETING WITH
RABBI WAIDENBAUM
Rabbi Waidenbaum will always be
available for your needs. However, to ensure
that the Rabbi is here, it is preferable that you
set a definite appointment in advance so that you
will not find the Rabbi otherwise engaged and
so that you may be better assured of his
undivided attention.
Please call the office at 718-459-1000.
The direct line to the Rabbi is 718-459-1047.
The Rego Park Jewish Center Bulletin is published 9 times/year (Sept. - June)

FROM THE RABBI’S DESK
Now that the High Holy Days are behind us. I would like to take this opportunity to share with you how I see
my commitment to the congregation. I would also like to explain how I see my role in the workings of the wider Rego
Park Jewish community.
Being a Rabbi is an exciting profession. A great benefit of going to rabbinical school is that it opens a whole
range of opportunities. In other words, there are many different types of Rabbis.
You can work in a religious school, in a Jewish agency, as a Chaplain in a hospital or on a college campus, or
as a pulpit Rabbi. I decided I wanted to be a congregational Rabbi. I took this choice seriously, not only in terms of
where to send my resume, but also as a way of committing to how I would spend my time and energy in the future. I
made this choice partially because I believe that the synagogue is one of the most important institutions in a
community. It helps us grow individually. It aids in the development of strong families. At the same time, it is by
nature a grassroots organization that can accomplish great social change when its members work together. The
synagogue is a key part of our past. I believe it will be the bedrock of our future. I proudly say that I am a
congregational rabbi. To me, this means that my primary duty is to serve my congregants.
This duty takes many forms: officiating at lifecycle events, visiting members (and sometimes non-members) in
the hospital, comforting mourners, Adult Education classes throughout the year, outside meetings with Rabbis and
community leaders, attending daily morning & evening services, (minyanim), etc…
It means working to build strong programs and making the experience of attending services more engaging.
Of course, it involves, at every possible opportunity, sharing my love of the Jewish tradition. The only way to
accomplish these goals to the best of my ability is to keep focusing on them. We sometimes cannot do everything and
we cannot be everywhere.
One of the greatest lessons I learned from one of my mentors, is that when a congregant tells you something, he
or she is always right (unless they’re wrong)!!
That is part of the duty and responsibility of being a congregational Rabbi. Please understand when I say my
primary role is to work for the improvement of the Rego Park Jewish Center and its programs. I do not mean that I do
not want other parts of the community to thrive. I am not interested in promoting divisions in the community. Also, I
want to honor the value that this community has traditionally placed on co-operation between all of its arms.
But we are incredibly fortunate to be witnessing this moment in our synagogue’s history. To make the most of
this moment, we must be committed to RPJC’s transformation into a vibrant, young and modern congregation.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as your Rabbi at Rego Park Jewish Center in this historic,
transformative moment. Let’s work together - and you’ll see what we can accomplish.
B’Shalom,
Rabbi Samuel Waidenbaum

FOCUS ON SISTERHOOD
“Come now Shabbat, the day divine, come in joy. Let your brightness shine…..
Come in Peace, Shabbat Bride.”
The Kabbalat Shabbat portion of the Friday
evening service concludes with this beautiful song. In
Talmudic times the Shabbat was personified as a bride
who is eagerly awaited and longed for after a separation
of a whole week. In Safed in the 16th century, white
robed men and boys would go up in the hills to greet the
Bride, chanting psalms. L’kha Dodi was composed by
Solomon Halevi Alkhabetz.
And thus Sisterhood and friends are eagerly
awaiting Friday evening, October 25th - our Sisterhood
Shabbaton on Shabbat Chaye Sarah. This annual affair
has become a beautiful and meaningful tradition at the
Rego Park Jewish Center. Our Sisterhood Board ladies
will be busy preparing the traditional Shabbat meal. We
shall spend the evening joyously singing Zemirot led by
Rabbi Samuel Waidenbaum and Rabbi Romiel Daniel.
On Shabbat morning, October 26th, Sisterhood will
sponsor the Shabbat kiddush - and it will be a balabustic
affair. In the afternoon at 3:30 P.M., Elaine Abend,
Membership V.P. will chair our Membership Tea (old
and new members) with Rabbi Waidenbaum reading our
discussion.
Our first meeting of the season in September was
right after Rosh Hashanah. Speaking of Rosh Hashanah,
Sisterhood wants to thank both Rabbi Waidenbaum and
Rabbi Daniel for granting the ladies additional honors of
Arc openings on both days. As it was our first meeting,
we welcomed some new members - as well as our “old”
members and we hope to see you all very often
throughout the year. Rabbi Romiel Daniel gave us a
beautiful rendition of the 27th Psalm which is recited
from the first day of Elul through the festival of Sukkot.
Then our first lady, Noreen Daniel, gave us a very
spiritual interpretation and meanings of this Psalm.
Yashayr Koach to you.
It seems like everything was happening in
September. We observed and prayed on Yom Kippur our ladies received more honors and again Sisterhood
made a monetary pledge to our Center which we hope to
be able to fulfill. We dressed our beautiful sukkah under
the expert guidance of Ruthe Unger. Our community
Shabbat afternoon in the sukkah was well attended and
we are very grateful to Rabbi Waidenbaum for his
scholastic and enjoyable contributions. Todah Rabah
Rabbi. We are very happy to report that the sukkah was
used each Yom Tov and Chol Hamoed by many
individuals, groups and organizations.
As you know, Sisterhood is very much involved
with the Jewish Theological Seminary and its various
learning and educational institutions. Some of us are
already wearing our new mishpacha pin - and we have
some programs planned around this theme of the
“family.” More about this at a later date. Also, at a later
date we shall let you know about this year’s “Woman of
Achievement.” Our October 7th meeting will be devoted
to Torah Fund - What is Torah Fund? What does Torah
Fund do for us? What shall we do for Torah Fund?
What is our obligation to Torah Fund and to our future
and to the future of the Conservative movement? Come
to our meeting on Monday evening, October 7th at
7:00 P.M. (this is the last evening meeting until next
spring). We will have all the answers to these questions
as well as some very interesting facts, background
information and new developments.
Bikkur Holim literally means “visiting the sick.”
It is a religious imperative upon us as Jews. It is a part
of Tikun Olam - “healing and repairing the world.” This
ancient tradition finds its roots in a number of biblical
and rabbinic texts. “Heset V’Emet (compassion and
truth). Kol Israel Arevin (each Jew is responsible for the
other) and Pikuah Nefesh (preservation of life). Who
better than committed Sisterhood should perform this act
of Gemulit Hasadim (acts of loving kindness)? Won’t
you join us in visiting and calling the homebound,
visiting patients in hospitals and nursing homes? Leave
your name in the office and we shall contact you.
Our wishes are very sincere even if a bit late Hannah Katz, we wish you all the very best on this
milestone - good health, joy and happiness.

LECH LECHA 12.1 - 17.27
The Father of Our People
Abram to Abraham
Sarai to Sarah
G-d called Abram to leave his father’s home (in
Mesopotamia) and “go to the land that I will show you, the
land of Canaan.” Abram and his nephew Lot settled there.
Abram was rich in cattle, silver and gold. Lot also had
flocks, herds and tents. The area could not hold both. Lot
chose to go north, the whole plain of the Jordan. Abram
remained in Canaan. Lot pitched near Sodom, a wicked
city. Kings of the area were at war with each other.
Invaders took Lot captive. Abram and three hundred of
his household brought Lot back. Sarai, Abram’s wife,
bore him no children. She took her maid Hagar and gave
her to her husband as concubine. Hagar conceived. Sarai
felt lower in her esteem and treated her harshly. G-d
promised Sarai a son. G-d’s covenant with Abram
promised him to be a “multitude of nations” - no longer
Abram but Abraham. Every male was to be circumcised
at the age of eight days. Sarai was to be called Sarah.
HAFTARAT ISAIAH 40.27 - 41.16
“My way is hid from the Lord, my cause ignored by
my G-d?” The Lord is G-d, creator of the earth - “never
grows faint or weary.” “His wisdom cannot be fathomed.”
“Those who trust in the Lord shall renew their strength.”
Presenters: Rabbi Samuel Waidenbaum, Rabbi Romiel
Daniel, Charles Lehat.

famous traditional melodies of our people, accented by the
beats - from solemnity, into hope and joy, making our
services so fulfilling and pleasurable!
Rabbi Samuel Waidenbaum set a tone of warmth

for responsibility and the slipping of society into personal
degradations. Rabbi blew the shofar, awakening us to
herald the Jewish New Year.

REGO PARK JEWISH CENTER BULLETIN
BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP
Who says nobody reads anymore? Meet with
interesting people and discuss books which raise both
timely and timeless issues. We read primarily for
enjoyment; however, through reading we learn more
about the world and ourselves.
Our book selection for October 16th is The
Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. The novel’s
narrator, Stevens, is a perfect English butler who tries
to give form and meaning to his life through the selfeffacing almost mystical practice of his profession.
It is only when his new American employer
forces him to take a vacation that he gives himself a
chance to reflect on the way he has chosen to live. The
Remains of the Day is both a compelling psychological
study and a portrait of a vanished social order. This
wonderfully written story takes place before, during,
and after World War II.
We meet at the Center once a month on
Wednesday from 3:00 to 4:30 P.M. If you have any
questions or want information, please call me at 718263-4973.

DAILY MINYAN URGENT REQUEST
The morning and afternoon minyans are fragile and
exist without a strong safety net of men to make a minyan
if some of our regulars do not come. If you are observing
the yahrzeit of a loved one and it falls on a day when we
do not have a minyan you would be upset and rightly so.
We need you not only when you are observing yahrzeit,
but a few days each month to insure that someone else
will be able to say kaddish. A few days each month is
not too much to ask. By doing a mitzvah, you will be
rewarded with a bigger mitzvah.
Please contact the Rabbi or the Center office with
your name and phone number, and when and how often
& what time (morning/afternoon?) you can commit.

OUR MEMORIAL TABLETS
May we call your attention to our perpetual
Memorial Tablets on the walls of our Sanctuary.
Each bronze name plate bears the name and
Yahrzeit date of a loved one. The memorial lamp
adjoining the plate is illuminated for every
Yahrzeit and for every Yizkor Service.
The memorial plaque is truly a perpetual
memorial. Every departed loved one of a family
should be perpetuated and memorialized in the
Synagogue in the reverent fashion.
Please call the Center office for further
details.
