From
the
Rabbi’s
Study
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are on my mind. In truth, they are always on mind . . . even during Channukah . . . even during Pesach. Such
is the nature of being a congregational rabbi. What will make High Holy
Day services more meaningful? What will make the time that people
spend in the synagogue more compelling? How, over the course of the
Rabbi Adam
three days that most of the congregation is in shul, can Cantor Freedman
Wohlberg
and I – and all those who play a role in our services and High Holy Day
programs - artfully and engagingly share the richness of our tradition and vibrancy of our faith?
I know that when you come to the synagogue for these holidays, that you will come with anticipation – anticipation of what you will hear, how the services will impact you and in what ways you may be changed by the
experience. The services of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are a time for reflection as well as for consideration of what will be. The High Holy Days are a time to assess our growth over the past year and to plan for
the ways in which we would like to grow in the year to come.
As we prepare for the holidays which begin a new year, I share with you the following piece authored by a
colleague, Rabbi Elaine Zecher of Temple Israel in Boston.
At my high school prom many decades ago, the organizers chose Billy Joel’s “Just the Way You Are” as the
theme. I thought it was the most ridiculous choice, and I voiced it loudly. Why wouldn’t we change? Mention
high school to any adult and very few would want to go back. Now with many years between that time and this
moment, I have reached a point where I see more wisdom in the desire to stay just the way we are.
As the years pile on, life’s travails, challenges, and triumphs coat us with experiences. The layers add on and
we become hardened and affected, for good and bad, by what we have learned along the path. For sure, we
gain wisdom, understanding, and hopefully maturity. And yet we forget some of the truths we know about ourselves; what we like, what makes us happy, what gives us meaning. They get buried unintentionally under the
layers of the years though they remain dormant, like seeds buried deep in the earth.
How many years did we all spend growing up? As some distant achievement we looked to the future to be
grown up. There was much mystery in that aspiration because we couldn’t necessarily predict what we would
turn out to be like. But then at what point does it change when we flip the switch and we turn to growing older?
Maybe the answer is in the growing part. Just as a seed grows from the root and develops and blossoms, so too
should our root system remain strong. That’s our core. Uncovering the layers to rediscover ourselves, to find
once again the essence of our being, allows us to celebrate that person we once knew. We are ever in the need
of nurturing our own root system, our very core. Grow up or even grow old, just don’t stop growing; for that
is just the way you are.
“Grow up or even grow old, just don’t stop growing.” What a fantastic slogan for the new year we are about
to begin! What a terrific mantra for life!! Repeat it to yourself; share it with your friends.
Remind yourself that it may be necessary to dig a little to recall the ideals, the hopes and the dreams that had
once generated your enthusiasm and excitement for each new day. The coming year is filled with possibilities
and you can begin now to prepare yourself to grow in areas and in ways you had given up on or not considered. I hope that the time you spend in the synagogue will help you to discover what would make this year
an even better year than the one about to end.
Let me close by wishing you a Shanah Tovah u’Metukah – a good year, a sweet year, a year of growth and a
year of peace. My family – Shira, Tamar, Hana and I – wishes you a wonderful 5775!
Cantor’s
Corner
I’m feeling very proud these days, proud of many things! In no particular
order:
I’m proud of my son Adam, who as you know is serving in the Israel Defense Forces in the Golani Brigade. His unit saw action in Gaza during the
Cantor Stephen
recent hostilities between Hamas and Israel. While there, he helped to
Freedman
uncover terror tunnels and caches of munitions. Thank God, he was not
injured in any way.
I’m proud of my wife Randi for successfully undertaking the challenge of learning a Haftarah, something her
congregation did not allow girls to do when she became a Bat Mitzvah. She chanted at a Shabbat service last
month and did extremely well (in my unbiased opinion!)
I’m proud of our Temple Sinai community for attending the rally for Israel, held at Love Park in Philadelphia
in July, in such great numbers. Not only did we fill a bus, but many, many others made their own way to
the rally. It was a privilege for me to have led everyone in the singing of Hatikvah and Oseh Shalom at the
conclusion of the program.
I was proud to represent Temple Sinai at two events “down the shore” this summer. It was an honor to help
lead Kabbalat Shabbat services with a number of rabbinic and cantorial colleagues at one of the “Devotion
by the Ocean” services in Ventnor. And it was a pleasure serving as co-chair of the 10th annual summer
concert presented by the Delaware Valley and New Jersey Regions of the Cantors Assembly. Over two dozen
cantors participated in the program, which was held in Margate. I’m proud to report that Temple Sinai members comprised almost ten percent of the audience!

SIMCHAT TORAH HONOREES
Each year, on Simchat Torah, our congregation honors members who through their participation and/or leadership have
made significant contributions to our synagogue.
This year, our Hatan & Kallat Torah (the designation given to the individuals who are called to the Torah for the reading
of the final aliyah in the Torah) will be Nancy & Bruce Fagan.
Nancy & Bruce have been members of Temple Sinai since 1987. An active member of Sisterhood, Nancy has served as
a Vice-president and co-chaired Sisterhood Shabbat for many years. For their dedication to Sisterhood, Nancy and her
sister, Roz, were awarded the distinction of being Women’s League Torah Fund honorees. Nancy served 6 years as a cochair of Temple Sinai’s Religious Committee and regularly assumes the roles of a gabbait, ritual usher and Torah reader
on Shabbaott and holidays. She also volunteers as one of the “Women” in the Kitchen.
Bruce is an active member of the Men’s Club, having served as our chapter’s President and as Executive Vice-president
on the regional level. For his outstanding service to Temple Sinai’s Men’s Club and our synagogue, he was honored with
our club’s Joseph A. Fine Award. A minyanaire for the past ten years, Bruce delivers a bi-weekly D’var Torah. Bruce has
been involved with the marketing and promotion of Temple Sinai and also served as synagogue webmaster. And he has
lent his musical talents for numerous events for the religious school and synagogue arms.
Both Nancy and Bruce have served on the synagogue’s Board of Directors and Nancy was on the congregation’s Executive Committee when she held the position of Secretary. Together they have volunteered as co-chairs of the synagogues’s Keruv/Intermarriage Outreach, the Leadership Development Committee, and the “Oybay” auction fundraiser.
When they are not at Temple Sinai, Nancy is Director of the Child Welfare Department at Jewish Family and Children’s
Service of Greater Philadelphia and Bruce runs his entertainment and promotional marketing company. They have been
married for 38 years and have two married children - Gina (and Matt) in Baltimore and Andrew (and Robin) who along
with their daughter Lucy live in Philadelphia.
Roz & Frank Romanoski will be called to the Torah for the first aliyah as we begin once again the reading of Sefer Bereshit
(The Book of Genesis) and thus will be honored as our Chatan & Kallat Bereshit.
Roz and Frank have been members of Temple Sinai for 37 years, having joined a year before their move to Dresher. Roz
has been a member of Temple Sinai Sisterhood since 1977 and has served as Treasurer for several years. She was a
Sisterhood Torah Fund honoree along with sister, Nancy. For more than 15 years, Roz served as a Member of Board of
Directors, and has chaired or co-chaired the Religious Committee and Youth Activities. At Shabbat and holiday morning
service’s she can be easily spotted as she performs her duties as “floor” gabbait, assigning honors and assisting b’nai
mitzvah families. She is also a devoted member of Men in the Kitchen. In addition to volunteering at Temple Sinai, Roz
is very active in the Wallenberg Chapter of Hadassah, having served as Treasurer and President.
Frank has been a member of Temple Sinai Men’s Club since 1977 and is a Past President of the club and a recipient of
the Joseph A. Fine Award. Frank has served for many years on the Temple Sinai Board of Directors and the Executive
Committee, and as a Past President of Temple Sinai is now a life-member of the Board of Directors. He has also chaired
the Nominating and Governance Committee. Frank enjoys attending the morning minyan and he and Roz are often the
first people to answer the call when another person or two is needed for an evening minyan.
Roz and Frank have been married for 38 years and have two children, Adam and Sara, both of whom were educated in
Temple Sinai’s Religious School. Adam currently lives in Philadelphia and Sara in New York City. In addition to Temple
Sinai, Frank and Roz are very passionate about their other Temple (University), particularly its sports teams.
We hope that you will join us on the morning of Simchat Torah (Friday, October 17) to help us honor these very worthy
members of our congregation.

Director’s
Desk

Each year as Yom Kippur approaches my mind goes back to an earlier time in my life. As a college student at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem I witnessed firsthand a society transition from peace to
war time with the outbreak of the Yom Kippur war.
Having just returned to my dorm room after morning services sirens
suddenly pierced the calm of the day. Within seconds everyone was
glued to a radio and soon we all new that once again Israel was at
war, this time with Egypt and Syria. Every few minutes broadcasts were interrupted with codes such as
Shemuel78 which was how people knew that they were being called up and needed to immediately report
to their units. By around four o’clock in the afternoon all my Israeli friends had vanished. What I didn’t
understand at the time was that I would never see a good many of them again.
With heavy casualties on both the Golan Heights and Sinai, the first days of the war were exceptionally difficult for Israel. Having been caught by surprise Israeli forces had to wage a huge defensive campaign before
being able to take the offensive.
As an American studying in Israel I was of course somewhat overwhelmed by what was happening around
me but soon found ample ways to help: donating blood for the very first time at Hadassah Hospital, working
at a bakery, sorting mail at a post office and volunteering at Kibbutz Mishmar HaNegev. My kibbutz work
found me in chicken coops running after and stuffing chickens into crates for transport to the front lines
where they would be slaughtered. After watching me struggle and stumble for an hour or two the lady in
charge finally said, “here, watch me”. With unbelievable acuity she grabbed two chickens in each hand by
their legs, lifted them up like they weighed nothing and had them in the back of the crate in seconds. While
I never came close to her level of productivity I did finally get the hang of it; not bad for a city boy.
While the war was being fought civilian life changed dramatically. Evening blackouts, almost no public
transportation, limited store supplies, school and business closings, military caravans on the roads…and so
many other signs of a disrupted economy and society.
What stays with me more than anything are the memories of friends who lost their lives. My close childhood friend Yoel who I spent years playing and studying with who lost his life as a tank commander on the
Golan Heights; my classmates Rami and Yotan whose positions were overrun on the first days of fighting
and my Hebrew U hallmates who never made it home.
This year I am feeling more connected to those memories and thoughts because of the renewed fighting in
Israel that has gone on over the summer. The never ending aggression of the Arab world towards Israel and
the need for young Israelis to again sacrifice their lives is a powerful reminder of the world we live in. And
our need as diaspora Jews to do everything in our power to support Israel remains constant.
I close with a wish that in spite of all we have endured, this New Year brings us the greatest blessing of all;
peace across the land of Israel.
Ann and I wish each of you and your extended families a sweet New Year filled with sustenance, health and
happiness.
Shana Tova U’metuka,
Ed
As hard as it may seem to believe, the summer months are behind us
President’s
and the High Holidays are just a few weeks away. Looking back over
the summer months much was happening at Temple Sinai. Camp MacMessage
cabee had a wonderful summer and a great deal of time and effort was
expended to enhance our Preschool facilities. We welcomed our new
Jeffrey
Director of Education, Shira Weissbach, who has been hard at work preHampton
paring for the upcoming Religious School year. Also, during the summer
we held daily minyan, weekly Shabbat services, Shabbat Under the Stars and Devotion by the Ocean. The
summer would not have been complete without the annual performance by the Israel Scout Caravan. This
performance was not only highly entertaining, but also an opportunity for us to show our support for Israel.
Over the past few months, we have performed some well needed maintenance in our facility. Long overdue
repairs have been started in the Library, improved access has been created in the Preschool classrooms, safety improvement was a focus in the Preschool wing, many additional energy saving efforts were instituted and
a great deal of preventive maintenance was undertaken.
Our building, like our own homes, requires constant upkeep and, from time to time, significant improvements. Our Sisterhood and Men’s Club are supportive in funding many of these efforts and projects and we
are very lucky to have this generous financial support. Unfortunately, this funding alone is not enough and
given the age of our facilities, you can be assured that additional improvements will be required. Each of us
should think of Temple Sinai as being a second home and a place that we should be proud of. It is in our collective interest to make sure that our Synagogue is well maintained, our physical plant is up to date and our
facilities are physically appealing. Please keep this in mind as you consider your Annual Appeal pledge this
year. Thank you in advance for your financial support and commitment to Temple Sinai.
The High Holidays provide us not only with the opportunity to celebrate and reflect, but also the opportunity
to reconnect with our Temple Sinai friends and family. I encourage you to take full advantage of our High
Holiday services and programming and to spend some time catching up with old friends. There is nothing
better than spending a few minutes catching up with friends during the High Holidays, whether out in the
hallway, on the walk in from the parking lot or after services conclude. Please also keep an eye out for our
new members and be sure to greet them and welcome them to our Temple Sinai family.
I look forward to seeing you at High Holiday services and I will do my best to greet as many of you as possible.
From my family to yours, L’Shanah Tovah Tikatevu – May you be inscribed in the Book of Life for a good year.

Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival's Fall Program
Lost Town
Directors: Richard Goldgewicht, Jeremy Goldscheider
This remarkable documentary chronicles the lost Ukranian
town of Trochenbrod, first made famous in Jonathan Safran
Foer’s Everything is Illuminated. The only all-Jewish town to
exist outside of Palestine, Trochenbrod's 5000 Jews were all
but obliterated by the Nazis. Except for the 33 townspeople
who escaped the massacre there, the town has since ceased
to exist. Following one man’s obsessive quest to understand
his family history and to connect to his father, Lost Town has
triggered a resurgence of interest in Trochenbrod and has
helped to reconnect the few remaining survivors and their
descendants. Utilizing contemporary documentary footage,
original animation, and survivor testimonials, Lost Town
demonstrates how far people will go to claim their sense of
identity.
Join us for a discussion with Special Guests
Israel Milner, Trochenbrod Descendant, in conversation with
Sara Wenger, Immediate Past-President, Temple Sinai Sisterhood
When: Monday, September 29th, 8:00 pm
Where: Temple Sinai, Dresher (in the Chapel immediately following minyan)

Thank you all for your warm welcome to my new position at Temple
Sinai. I am thrilled to be the new Director of Education at such a vibrant congregation! We have so many exciting programs and initiatives; and I am blessed to work with this amazing community of lay
Shira
leaders and professionals to maximize our potential and success. I
Weissbach
have spent the summer meeting with our religious school teachers,
evaluating curricula, planning for the High Holidays, meeting with
the youth group advisors, developing new incentive programs, getting to know my dedicated religious school
committee and much more! I have been so impressed with the level of professionalism and commitment
from everyone connected with this congregation.
Director of
Education
I’m drawn to the Religious School’s mission statement and if you haven’t had a chance to read it you should
check it out on Temple Sinai’s website at http://www.tsinai.com/education/religious-school/. The first tenet
in our mission statement is “to have a positive religious school experience”. A positive experience includes
all aspects of the program, including the academic and social components. This is my top priority for all students at Temple Sinai. I have been working with our teachers to ensure that all students arrive with smiles
and leave happy as well.
We are making several changes to our school to ensure a positive experience such as creating smaller classes, introducing new books with the consultation of teachers and colleagues, and making significant curricular changes to several grades. Although many of our classes are split for a more intimate and effective
learning environment, there will be time during each class session for the group to come together for learning, fun, and socialization. Another way to ensure a positive religious school (and synagogue) experience is
to encourage participation instead of imposing requirements. Our new incentive program, for 3rd through
6th graders, The Road to 18, will allow students to feel great about everything they do in their life that has a
Jewish connection. This program will give students “points” and recognition for all of their Jewish activities
in the synagogue, home, and beyond. Examples include attending Shabbat services, hosting a “Guess Who’s
Coming to Shabbas” dinner, volunteering, and much more!
Parents, positivity starts with you! Please tell your child how important religious school is and why it is
special to be part of the Temple Sinai community. You are their role models and your words (and actions)
mean more to your children than anything else. If at any point you have a question or concern please do not
hesitate to call, email, or arrange a time for a conversation.
I look forward to a year of learning, community, and fun.
L’Shalom,
Shira
Ann
Newman
Preschool
Tracey
Perchick
On your mark, get set, go! And we are off. Off to a new year of
experiential learning, building loving friendships and engaging in
fun activities. All children attending the Ann Newman preschool
will have the core components of our curriculum during their
morning classes. They will be involved in literacy, mathematics,
science, social studies, and the arts. Our new afternoon enrichment program extends these activities in specific way.
Our older afternoon students will participate in:
Monday- Handwriting without tears
Tuesday- Science/Nature
Wednesday- Mathematics
Thursday- Art and Artists
Friday- Literature
This structure supports the fact that we are first and foremost a learning facility whose students are guided by
quality educators that understand children and their potential.
Despite being “on the go” here at the preschool, as the High Holidays approach, I encourage you to slow down
and as the Supremes referred to in their hit song “STOP! In the name of love” Although it is a song about a
couple, the chorus can be applied to children lost in the shuffle of a very busy world.
“Stop in the name of love. Before you break my heart. Think it over.”
Please take time in your busy day to stop, lower your body, make eye contact and share a wholehearted
quality few moments with your child. It builds self-esteem, communication skills, verbal comprehension and
social competency. They deserve it and so do you!!
L’shanah Tovah

“Together we engage and interact in activities that are the source which
leads to the creation of meaningful memories and moments in our Judaic journey.”
I am honored to help lead in the responsibility of maintaining and creating opportunities for Jewish engagement at Temple Sinai.
Shelly
This year, as Director of Family, Youth and Community Engagement, I am
Shotel
already planning three exciting Family Engagement programs that will
coincide with three favorite Jewish holidays: Simchat Torah, Chanukah and Purim. If you joined in any of these
celebrations in past years, you will remember that hundreds of your family and friends turned out for the
Simchat Torah gala as well as for the Purim celebration.
Family
Engagement
These programs are designed to help people connect across age groups and interests and are a way for each
of us to connect to the synagogue and Jewish life. If you have already joined in one of these events, I hope you
have felt a sense of belonging. If you haven’t yet joined us at one of these events, then start by taking small
steps: call a friend or family member and join one of the many groups and/or activities here at Temple Sinai. I
believe we have something for everyone and you will reap both individual and group rewards each and every
time you are part of a Temple Sinai event.
I hope you will take the time to look at the new Youth Engagement trifold. It includes information about all of
our youth groups: Makor (Gr 3 – 5); Kadima (Gr 6 – 7); Rosh Hodesh: It’s a Girl Thing (Girls Gr 6 – 12); Shevet
Achim: The Brotherhood (Boys Gr 7 – 12); USY (Gr 8 – 12). Add Tot Shabbat for our PreSchoolers (and their
families) and Knesset Mishpacha for all families and there is something for everyone!
Temple Sinai has a long, wonderful history of nurturing and sustaining a strong sense of community. I encourage you to attend a new group or event this year in order that you may continue to feel the belonging our
Temple Sinai community offers.

The “Experienced and Wise”
This article is being written in the summer not too long after I have
been elected as the new president of HAZAK for the coming 5775
year. A number of very interesting programs have already been
planned for the year and although we have a good size group, we
would like more members of the congregation, who are 55 and older,
to participate in our social and educational experiences.
In addition, HAZAK is open to others who are not members of our congregation, so feel free to invite your
friends and relatives to our meetings. Annual dues are $20 per person and this will get you a $3 discount per
meeting for our great Sunday brunches. We also look forward to joining with our Men’s Club and Sisterhood
to present programs of general interest.
Our opening brunch on September 7th, “Power of Laughter”, with comedian Al Kustanowitz who has written
a series of seven books called Jewish Humor on Your Desktop, promises to make you chuckle and give you the
opportunity to tell your own jokes for the web, so come prepared. Our brunches usually start at 10:00 AM,
but because of the length of this program, we ask that you arrive for a 9:45 start time.
On September 18th, we will visit the Mummers Museum for a tour, dairy lunch and entertainment by a Mummers’ String Band. Both Hazak and Non-Hazak members are invited to this event. Join us for this “Power of
Music” event. The cost is $45 which includes transportation, tour, lunch and entertainment.
On Friday, October 10th, we are planning a Sukkot dinner in the auditorium catered by Men in the Kitchen.
Dinner will follow services in the Chapel and blessings in Temple Sinai Sukkah. Rabbi Fredi Cooper from the
Reconstructionist Rabbinical College will have just returned from Israel and will update us on the current situation in the region after dinner.
Some events for the rest of the year are also in the works including a Veteran’s Day program, a Movie and review by Steven Rea, “The Power of Technology” brunch on 3-D Printing and its impact on our future, Stu Weitz
and company music gala, “The Power of Weather” – Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz from NBC will discuss Global
Warming from a weatherman’s perspective and “The Power of Sports”-Merrill Reese, play by play announcer
for the Philadelphia Eagles will join us. In addition our Rabbi Wohlberg and Cantor Freedman will host programs next spring which are sure to be both educational and entertaining. In addition, we have arranged
an AARP driver’s training course on January 15th for those who want a deduction from their auto insurance.
Stay tuned for additional programs and updates.

Last week, I was driving with a buddy of mine on our way to go mountain biking in Philadelphia’s Wissahickon Valley Park. On the way, conversations led to preschool costs and ultimately to the sizeable check
he writes each month to his synagogue for membership, preschool and
David
assorted fees. It was clear that he was frustrated by the increasing
Kepniss
costs for membership, especially given his confession that he only goes
to his synagogue twice per year. I knew exactly where he was coming
from. He was venting, just as I and many of my peers had done countless times before. However this time,
something felt different. Being so active in Temple Sinai and living with a spouse who is equally (if not more
so) involved has given me a different perspective on synagogue membership. Sitting in on the executive
committee’s reports, I participate in the discussions about budgetary windfalls and shortfalls. For years, I’ve
watched my wife battle the challenge of keeping preschool pricing low while meeting the demands of a school
with shrinking enrolment.
Men’s Club
I admitted to my friend that I no longer shared his sentiment, mostly because I feel like my family is getting
great value for our membership dollar. Temple Sinai has become our second home. We are here all the time…
picking up, dropping off, attending services , cooking in the kitchen, holding meetings, eating Shabbat meals
or simply parking our car in the lot as we take a few laps around Mondauk Park. I recognize that many of my
peers may share my friend’s sentiments and that is why I have become so passionate about our Men’s Club.
My goal is to encourage the involvement of Temple Sinai’s male members in all facets of congregational life
and to make their time at our shul, and the membership dollars they spend here, as valuable and meaningful
as possible.
With those motivations in our hearts, our club members aggressively recruit new members, from preschool
dads who may not yet be synagogue members to the long-time congregants who were looking for ways to
expand their networks and have more fun. Each year, we develop and sponsor programming to promote fun,
camaraderie, spirituality, community and philanthropy. 5775 promises to be a great year and we encourage
all male members to learn more about our Men’s Club programming at our first Pub Night at 730pm on Thursday, September 11th at MaGerk’s in Fort Washington. Here's to our Temple Sinai community in the new year!
We are pleased to welcome the following

Sisterhood
Letter from the Sisterhood President
As I begin my second year as Sisterhood president, I marvel at all the
great things we were able to accomplish last year and all the wonderful project and programs already in place for the coming year. Over
Stacy
the summer there has been a flurry of activity planning our Opening
Pressman
Event featuring a wonderful guest, Mary O’Conner Ward. Mary is the
sister of the late Cardinal O’Conner and recently found out that her
mother was Jewish. She will talk to us about her thoughts about this surprising revelation. Please join us on
the evening of Monday, October 20th for this interesting event. Pay only $36 for your Sisterhood membership on or before October 20th and the event is free.
Over our Sisterhood’s 75 years, we have learned, laughed and supported each other, our synagogue and our
community. Why not help us celebrate our 75th anniversary with a $75 Sisterhood 75th Year Sponsor Membership. See the membership brochure for more details. Help celebrate our long history and our future.
Also this fall, following up on our wonderful year-end event with the Jewish Film Festival and the showing
of Lady in No. 9, we will be a preview site for one of this year’s films. Join us on Monday, September 29th
for a preview of the film Lost Town.
Although we will not be having the rummage sale this year, we still have a place for you to dispose some
of your used items. For our Mitzvah project, we are collecting old or torn towels, blankets, and sheets.
These items will be given to the Montgomery County SPCA in Conshohocken, and PAWS in Philadelphia, to
provide warm bedding for pets this winter. We are also collecting gently used iPods (shuffles) and chargers
for Alzheimer's patients involved in Music and Memory, Inc., a non-profit improving quality of life through
personalized digital music technology. If you have any of these items to donate, please leave them in the
boxes provided in the pre-school entrance lobby.
And finally, save the date for our 2nd annual Holiday Boutique. Come out to get your holiday gifts on Tuesday, November 18th between 2 and 8pm. If you know anyone who would like to be a vendor, contact me at
[email protected]. It’s sure to be another great sisterhood event!
Pick up a membership brochure and learn about all Sisterhood has to offer. Our calendar is full and we are
always looking for members to brainstorm, plan, run and come to our events. All levels are participation are
welcome. Come find out how our Sisterhood can be your Sisterhood!
Sisterhood Jewish Living
by Joan Winokur
Once again we approach the New Year grateful for reaching the season, mindful of the seriousness of the
Days of Awe and aware of our responsibilities. We look back on the year past and look forward to 5775.
May our account of the past year reflect a list of goals well met and the understanding that we are not
perfect.
In the spirit of the season, I ask your forgiveness for hurts or slights I unwittingly visited on you this past
year and pray that for 5775 you and yours will be inscribed for a year of good health, joy and good deeds
in a world working towards peace.
Living the season properly, adding our forgiveness of ourselves to that of G-d and our family and friends,
we should feel cleansed and balanced. We remember mistakes to not repeat them and remember loved
ones gone to be blessed by their memory. We dip the apple in honey – or honey cake in schnapps if you
were at Bata’s – and we look forward to a sweet year.

The Temple Sinai Players Announce Their
2015 Production of OLIVER!
“Please sir, I want some more.” More what, you may ask – more of the joyously entertaining stagecraft of the
Temple Sinai Players. This year, the Players will present the beloved musical Oliver!, about the lonely orphan
boy from the London workhouse who boldly asks for more. After leaving the workhouse, he finds friendship
and adventure in the streets of London with Fagin, his gang of pickpockets led by the Artful Dodger, and Nancy, the woman who helps him find his true family.
Nothing works on the stage like a well-crafted tale, and Oliver! is such a show. Based on the Dickens novel,
Oliver Twist, the show will engage adults and children alike with its pathos and drama, while delighting everyone with its outstanding musical numbers. Food, Glorious Food, I’d Do Anything, Where is Love?, Consider
Yourself, As Long As He Needs Me, Who Will Buy and Reviewing the Situation are musical theatre classics.
All parts are open, and girls may play some boy roles—including the parts of Oliver and Dodger.
Oliver! has a large cast of all ages.
Won’t you join us for more – more singing, more dancing, more acting, and of course, the opportunity for
more camaraderie, friendship and a rollicking good time with some fabulous people. The Players are always
looking for those who can play an instrument in our orchestra, who enjoy building, painting and creating
masterful sets, who enjoy marketing, advertising and raising money for our synagogue, who like to sew and
design costumes, or simply want to spend a few hours helping in rehearsal or during the show. If you have
any questions, please contact Jenn Goldberg at (267) 716-4157 or [email protected], or
stop by the synagogue during our rehearsals. Follow the sound of laughter, singing and dancing and you will
be sure to find us. As they say in Oliver!, “consider yourself part of the family.” L’Shana Tova.

NOW IS THE TIME.......
In your hectic life, how can you fit in another “to do”?
You may not even need it (God willing) for a long
time. Why not put off thinking about it for now?
Why not? Because no one knows when the need will arise.
When it does, many tasks must
be handled and decisions made in a limited amount of time.

•
•
Contacting loved ones
Selecting and purchasing a gravesite
Making funeral arrangements
Handling the affairs of the deceased
Now is the time to lessen the burden placed on your family by
purchasing a gravesite for that
inevitable need. Having one less decision to research and make
during that difficult time is
one of the greates gifts you could give them, along with the peace
of mind of knowing that
everything has been arranged exactly the way you wanted.
Temple Sinai has available gravesites at nearby King David
Memorial Park in Bensalem, PA at reasonable costs for its
members and their families.

Selichot Services
Join together for an evening of music, learning and prayer.
On the Saturday night before Rosh Hashanah, Jews throughout the world assemble to recite the service of
selichot (requests for forgiveness) which are typically recited in the early morning hours during the week leading
up to the High Holy Days.
For many years now, our congregation has shared this service with the members and clergy of Beth Tikvah-Bnai
Jeshurun and Tiferet Bet Israel. Once again, we will be hosting our three congregations for a selichot program
and service to which the community is invited.
The evening will begin with havdalah and a light reception at 8:30 PM. Our program will feature Professor Fred
Lazin who will be speaking on the current situation in Israel. Professor Lazin was born in Boston and grew up
in Sharon Massachusetts. He received his undergraduate degree from UMASS Amherst (where he was elected
to Phi Beta Kappa, graduated Cum Laude and served as president of Hillel) and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Political
Science from the University of Chicago. In 1975, he joined the faculty at Ben Gurion University (BGU) in Israel.
At BGU, he established an Interdisciplinary Urban Studies Program and the Department of General Studies and
chaired the Departments of Behavioral Science and Politics and Government. Professor Lazin has taught at the
Hebrew University, NYU, UCLA, GWU, Cornell, Tufts and City University of New York (John Jay College and Hunter
College) and has served as a Visiting Scholar at universities in Australia, Sweden, France, China, Czech Republic,
Canada and the US.
Professor Lazin has authored an array of scholarly articles and has written and edited eleven books dealing with
public policy in the US, Israel and developing countries, Israeli politics and society and Jews in American politics.
His current research projects involve a study of the role of Christian clergy in the struggle for Soviet Jewry and a
study of relations between Israel and the American Jewish Committee in the 1970s.
The Selichot service will begin at 10:00 PM and will be led by the rabbis and cantors of all three congregations.
We hope that you will join us for this meaningful beginning to the High Holy Days

have become his summer family.
Ryan is known for his kind hearted
leadership traits. He understands the
meaning of doing Mitzvot. For his Mitzvah project, Ryan has helped champion
for the less fortunate through The Mitzvah Circle Foundation. He organized a
fundraiser, where he raised money for
and collected clothing and food items
for a local homeless shelter. Always
one to root for the underdog, Ryan has
a passion for helping anyone in need.
Ryan shares this special day with his
parents, Jodi and Matthew, and his
older brother, Blake. He is very lucky to
celebrate with his 4 grandparents, Susan and Irv Fliegelman and Rhoda and

Freedman in the Yad Squad.
Michael is a 7th grader at Jack Barrack
Hebrew Academy. His early education
started at the Ann Newman Preschool
and continued at Perelman Jewish Day
School. Michael’s favorite subjects are
science and math. He enjoys the outdoors, bike riding, playing tennis, cooking and performing in theater productions at school and camp.
Hailey loves spending time with her
family and friends. She also enjoys
cheerleading for the Warrington
Warriors, reading and performing in
her school shows and with the Temple
Sinai Players. Hailey has also enjoyed
many summers at Willow Grove Day
Camp and is looking forward to becoming a CIT next year.
Michael’s mitzvah project was an easy
choice. He and his family have been
regularly volunteering at JRA for the
past few years and have just become
members of JRA’s Chai Club for volunteering 18 times. Michael has decided
to organize a tuna drive for JRA and
has set a personal goal of donating 200
cans. He is looking forward to having
his friends and family join him on October 12 at JRA to help with his Bar Mitzvah project.
For her mitzvah project Hailey thought
about raising money for a cause that
has touched her life. She is selling
Cookies For A Cause through the
Maurer Foundation where 100% of the
proceeds goes toward Breast Cancer.
Hailey is so excited to share this very
special day in her life with her parents
Tracey and Adam, sister Emmi, brother
Zach, grandparents Harriet and Jon
Sherman, Annette and Fred Roffman,
aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. She
would like to thank Rabbi Wohlberg,
Cantor Freedman and all of her teachers for helping her make it to this very
special day.
Michael is excited to be sharing his special day with his mom and dad, Debbie
and Marc, his sister Emily and especially his family and friends that will be
traveling from up and down the east
coast to be here with him.

Jessica is currently a 7th grader at
Sandy Run Middle School. She went
to Temple Sinai preschool for pre-K
and continues at Temple Sinai religious
school.
Jessica is an excellent student. Some
of her favorite subjects are math and
writing. She likes to work hard in
school and feel rewarded with a good
education.
Participating in sports gives Jessica the
most happiness. She enjoys soccer,
hockey, basketball, and especially
tennis. She is trying out for the Sandy
Run Middle School tennis team. Other
interests include listening to music,
hanging out with friends, and dance.
Jessica’s favorite season is summer.
The main reason for this is her passion
for Camp Kweebec. The friendships
she has made at her summer home
will last a lifetime.
For Jessica’s Mitzvah project she had
a food drive at Mondauk Park with
her friend Hannah Kieserman. They
collected 4 large bins of food which we
donated to Manna on Main Street, a
soup kitchen in Lansdale. Jessica also
volunteers weekly at Boys and Girls
Club in Ambler.
We are very proud of the young woman Jessica has become. Her entire
family wishes her the best of luck and
is looking forward to celebrating her
Bat Mitzvah.

Brooke enjoys being very active with
her extracurricular activities. She
participates in many sports with her
favorites being soccer, softball, and
skiing. Brooke has also always had a
love for singing and acting. In addition
to plays at school and camp she has
always looked forward to the acting
parts she has had as a member of the
Temple Sinai’s Players. Brooke is even
more excited this year to have her
sister Noa joining her.
Brooke loves to spend her summers
at Camp Timber Tops and has met so
many wonderful lifelong friends. She
also looks forward to fun summer days
on the beach with her best friends and
sisters, Noa and Emma.
For Brooke’s Mitzvah project, she
will be volunteering at the Abramson
Center for Jewish Life. She loves the
elderly and is hoping to put smiles on
each of their faces.
Brooke has worked so hard preparing for her Bat Mitzvah! We are very
proud of her for all of her accomplishments, her dedication to working
hard at everything she does, and most
importantly for the wonderful young
woman she has become.
You changed all of our lives in so many ways.
With the utmost love and respect from just a few of your former
