I need to close out the noise
To rise above the noise
The noise that interrupts-The noise that separates-The noise that isolates.
I need to hear You again.
In the silence of my innermost being,
In the fragments of my yearned-for wholeness,
I hear whispers of Your presence-Echoes of the past when You were with me
When I felt Your nearness
When together we walked-When You held me close, embraced me in Your love,
laughed with me in my joy.
I yearn to hear You again.
In Your oneness, I find healing. In the promise of Your love, I am soothed.
In Your wholeness, I too can become whole again.
Please listen to my call-help me find the words
help me find the strength within
help me shape my mouth, my voice, my heart
so that I can direct my spirit and find You in prayer
In words only my heart can speak
In songs only my soul can sing
Lifting my eyes and heart to You.
Adonai S'fatai Tiftach--open my lips, precious God,
so that I can speak with You again.

A Message from our Rabbi
One of the very special things that has happened here in East Hampton has been the rejuvenation
and renewal of the Clericus, our interfaith ministerial association. It has existed for years and our
cantor has been an active member and leader since its inception. But now it has come alive as
never before. We have been actively involved with the leadership (professional and volunteer) of
the town’s school board on issues of discrimination, prejudice, gay-bashing etc. A major
breakthrough came at a meeting here at the JCOH with the Superintendent, HS Principal and
Chair of the School Board. We were involved in the community memorial for those who died in
the Newtown school tragedy. Hundreds of community members stood with us at the Hook Mill
as we together recited prayers, heard the names called and lit candles. In addition we have
decided to become more active as advocates for action on gun control and mental health
coverage and assistance. Our good friend Msgr. Don Hanson, who also chairs the Clericus, sent
this pastoral letter out to his congregation and I received his permission to share it with
you. Debi and I share it with you in the hope that we can put an end to the madness as a religious community of
communities.
Letter from Fr. Don Hanson of Most Holy Trinity
Now is the Time
I am writing my letter a week prior to this bulletin and within a week of the Connecticut School shootings. I spent
most of yesterday working with my colleagues in the East Hampton Clericus to prepare a memorial service which took
place a week ago at the Memorial Park at Hook Mill. All of us, clergy and laity together, are trying to come to grips
with what has happened. We try to understand it, to mourn, and most all to think what we could do so that mass
shootings can be prevented for the future.
The issue of gun control has been a taboo subject. The aggressive stance of the National Rifle Association has been
frankly intimidating. Wrapping themselves in the flag of patriotism, they persistently oppose gun control, which they
vigorously denounce as unpatriotic and an abridgement of civil rights. Regrettably, the Supreme Court has supported
the contention that the second amendment of the Constitution enshrines an individual right and not tied to the “well
regulated militia” which the text of the Constitution references.
All kinds of sophist slogans have been thrown up to “disarm” the proponents of better gun control. You’ve heard them.
“Guns don’t kill people; people kill people.” “If citizens don’t have guns, only criminals will have them.” The pressure
brought to bear on politicians has cowed many of them into submission. They are rated and significant amounts of
money are directed against any who do not tow the NRA line. I have been cowed too. Not seeking to be divisive or
controversial, and avoiding overt words which could be construed (or made to seem) partisan political, I have kept
silence. I cannot do that anymore. For me this is an ethical issue. This is a “Right to Life” issue.
I do not have any problem with hunters or target shooters. There may be individuals who need protection with a
personal weapon. But I cannot see why anyone would need a military assault rifle. I cannot see why gun show
purchases should not be regulated. I do not understand why criminal background checks are not a universal
requirement and databases are not routinely, and extensively shared by law enforcement agencies nationwide. The
opposition to all of these practical measures seems to me unreasonable and indeed, fatal.
If you go on the website of the Centers for Disease Control you will see that more than 10,000 individuals are killed
each year in our country by injuries sustained through firearms. That is way more than the death toll of our military
serving in Afghanistan and elsewhere. Some of the strongest backers of gun control legislation are law enforcement
officials, especially in urban centers. Let us listen to and support them.
Another aspect is mental health care for vulnerable people. I do not wish to stigmatize the mentally ill. Only a tiny
fraction of troubled people act out in a violent way. But clinics and other care options are generally among the first to
be cut in hard economic times. This is a “Right to Life” issue too.
There are many complexities in framing policies which can help limit deaths from gun violence. I do not pretend to
have a simple solution. But there are many talented and brilliant people-government officials, legal experts, social
scientist and like-who have a contribution to make to this uniquely opportune moment. The rest of us, or most of us,
have common sense. Let’s use it, for God’s sake. Let us not let this moment pass, and through a chosen forgetting of so
many painful deaths, let it slip away from us. It cannot be that we love our guns more than we love our children.

A Message from our Cantor
In past years here at the Jewish Center, the month of January was a quiet
month, a time when we would anticipate a drop in our attendance both at
services and in religious school. But while we now experience a slight dip, we
are still a vibrant congregation, with much going on, and well attended
Shabbat morning services. This year for the first time in my years here at the
JCOH, we will be celebrating a Bar Mitzvah in January, on Shabbat Shira, the
Sabbath of Song.
Shabbat Shira is celebrated on the Sabbath of the Torah portion B’shalach
read this year the last week in January. Included is the chanting of the “Song
of the Sea”, which tells the story of the crossing of the Red Sea. From the second book of the Torah,
Exodus, Chapter 15, verses 1-18, it is a story of victory and praise.
Originally believed to have been chanted as a response, some say Moses leading the men, and
Miriam leading the women. If you listen carefully to the chanting, you will hear the familiar words
of the Mee Chamocha. There is a special Shira cantillation which the reader uses which takes us
from Shabbat cantillation to a beautiful melody. There are different traditions for singing the Shir
melody, the Eastern European one that we use here at the Jewish Center, the Spanish Portuguese
one that we heard last year sung by myself and our congregant Cathy Yohay, and even a Yemenite
tradition.
The Haphtarah for this Shabbat is also in poetry form, and is the Haphtarah from the book of
Judges which contains the shir Devorah the song of Deborah. Deborah is one of the few women to
be called a prophet in the Bible. Miriam was another one of the female prophets, so on this Shabbat,
we recall two women who helped to secure the future of the Israelites, and the Jewish religion.
There are those who want to believe that Judaism is a patriarchal religion, which has long
suppressed women. I am one who says that if we dig into our history, we will find that women were
given an important role in the formation of Judaism. We only need to reclaim what was once ours,
through the many doors that are now open to us.

Saturday, January 26, 2013
during Shabbat Services
For my Mitzvah project I would like to donate sporting goods
to the less-fortunate, specifically to people who have been
effected by Hurricane Sandy. I will be collecting sporting goods
in a box at the Jewish Center of the Hamptons, so please bring in gently used
cleats, bats. shoes. rackets, etc. this winter if possible. I chose this Mitzvah
project because I myself am an athlete, sports fanatic, and I like helping others
enjoy sports.

Pre-K -1st Grade's Visit to Cantor Stein's Study
This past month, our PreK-1st Grade students and their teacher, Wendy Graney,
visited Cantor Stein in her study on a Sunday morning, They were amazed to see
her colorful and extensive collection of kippot (yamelkes).In fact, they were so
inspired that when they went back to their classroom, they designed their own
kippa to take home!
Cantor Stein shared her many musical instruments with our younger students and even taught them how to
blow a shofar.
The students had fun trying to play the various instruments. Cantor also shared a precious miniature 5 Books
of Moses which was her grandfathers. This was a very special time for our young students. Our thanks to
Cantor Stein for the interesting visit!
Reading together!
Our 5th grade students joined together with our PreK-2nd grade students to read Chanukah books. The time
spent together was so meaningful that we will plan another time for our 5th grade students to read to our
younger students.

JCOH/Temple Adas Israel (TAI) Youth Group and Social Action
The TAI and JCOH Youth Group took a field trip to New York City on December 2nd to
participate in the NFTY (National Reform Movement's Youth Group) Social Action
Meeting. The NFTY Youth Group is fully organized and run by teens throughout the area.
The teens organized the event, arranged for social action group activities, led each group
all day.
This event was located at Temple Emanuel in New York City. Approximately 115 kids
between the ages of 13 and 18 met in their meeting hall and participated in group learning
experiences: crafts to cheer up hospital patients, food stamp programs, sandwich, cookie,
and brownie making, and putting together fleece blankets, to name a few activities. They
also had the opportunity to meet one another and learn about what youth groups in the
New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County areas are up to. This was a
meaningful day for all!
