what we eat.”
Rabbi Zamore, who worked on the book for
over ten years, is a Westfield resident and

authority on “the relationship with food and its
production which integrates values such as
ethics, community and spirituality into our
dietary practice.” Her talk will focus on her
anthology, The Sacred Table: Creating a Jewish
Food Ethic. Together, we will continue to
dialogue, listening to each other’s passion for
food and its production.

Kristallnacht 74 years
This month marks the
74th anniversary of
Kristallnacht. Though long in the planning,
Kristallnacht was the official beginning of
Hitler’s “Final Solution.” On that “Night of
Broken Glass,” synagogues were set on fire,
7,500 Jewish businesses and
homes were ransacked, and glass
from shattered windows covered
the streets. Thousands of Jews
were attacked and brutally beaten;
and more than 30,000 Jewish men
were arrested and sent to Dachau,
Sachsenhausen, and Buchenwald.
It was on that night of terror—
November 9th, 1938—that the fate
of six million Jews, and millions
of other “undesirables,” as the
Nazi machine euphemistically
labeled them, was sealed.
To commemorate this tragic
anniversary, on Monday night,
by Rabbi Shira Joseph
November 5th at 6:30 pm, we will showcase the
movie, “Inside Hana’s Suitcase.” This story is
how Fumiko Ishioka, the director of the
Holocaust Education Center in Tokyo, is given
charge of a child’s suitcase found in the rubble of
Auschwitz, a rarity indeed. She and her students
decide to find out who Hana
Brady- the name painted on the
suitcase- was. This 90 minute
documentary is told largely
through interviews and snippets of
photos and film. It is both heart
rending, and uplifting as we follow
the path of Hana’s suitcase. Let us
together pay tribute to all whose
lives were stolen as we celebrate
the power of the human spirit!

A Special Lunch & Learn Program: “Red States, Blue States,
and the Jewish State: An insider's perspective from
Jerusalem on the US election's impact on Israel.”
by Cantor Steven I. Weiss
Thursday, November 8, 2012 – 12:00-1:30 pm
At the Law Offices of Steven Pohl, Brown Rudnick,
One Financial Center, Boston
RSVP Required
As we prepare to vote for a new president and
congress, please join me for a special lunch
program in Boston featuring award winning
journalist Gil Hoffman. His presentation will
focus on the US-Israel relationship and how the
president (whoever he is) will work together
with Prime Minister of Israel Netanyahu in
facing the challenges that lie ahead. We'll talk
about the last four years and look ahead to
dealing with Iran and other challenges in our
region, hope for peace, and how Israel thrives
with so many questions left unanswered.
Gil Hoffman is the chief political correspondent
and analyst for The Jerusalem Post. Wellconnected to Israeli and Palestinian leaders,
Hoffman has interviewed every major figure
across the Israeli political spectrum, has been
interviewed by top media on six continents and
is a regular analyst on CNN, Al-Jazeera and
other news outlets. Called "The most optimistic
man in Israel" by Israel
Television, Hoffman's
writing and TV
appearances provide a
behind the scenes look at
the intrigue and humor in
the Israeli political arena.
Hoffman, who was raised
in Chicago, graduated
Magna Cum Laude from
Northwestern University's
School of Journalism and wrote for the Miami
Herald and Arizona Republic before moving to
Israel. A reserve soldier in the IDF Spokesman's
Unit, he has lectured in seven countries and 42
US states. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife
and 2 children.
Our host for the program is Steve Pohl and the
office of Brown Rudnick in Boston. Due to
space requirements, RSVP’s are required as we
can only accommodate 20 people. If you are
able to attend, please let me know
([email protected]) as soon as possible.
Lunch will be served.
I hope you will join me for this special postelection program.
You can now make payments on-line!
No more postage
stamps or trips to
the office are needed to make certain payments
to the temple. In early September we added an
online payment processing service on our web
site as a convenience to all member families.
This capability has already been implemented
for all online donations to Restricted Funds or
the General Funds, as well as the Torah
Restoration Project. Just look for the "Click
Here To Donate" link to make your payment.
by David Alschuler
To make your first donation to a Fund, here is
the web page: http://shaaray.org/get-involved/
donate.html
We expect to expand the online payment service
in the near future to enable sign-up for special
events (e.g. Shabbat Dinners, Special Events,
Adult Education events).
Because processing
credit payments
carries administrative
fees, the online
payment forms
include a strictly
voluntary check-box
authorizing a 2.5%
administration
surcharge.
Note that online
payment on the
website it is not available for Dues, Tuition or
Fee payments (unless special arrangements have
been established with the Financial Secretary)
because of the extra administrative expense -- for
both the congregation and its members -- which
becomes significant in value.

Social Action Corner
I would like to begin by
thanking everyone who
helped make our Yom
Kippur food drive a
success. It is always
exciting to see so many
bags packed with food for
needy families. Special
thanks to the Preble, Block, Zieper, SegalCronin, Berkin, Stone and Elfman families for
their additional help. We appreciate all that you
do! This food goes to the Hingham and Scituate
food pantries.
by Brenda Elfman
I would like to remind everyone that we
continue to need food all year round, not just at
the High Holidays. The congregation is
responsible for providing 30 cans of salmon and
30 boxes of whole wheat pasta to the Jewish
Family and Children’s Services in Waltham.
Please consider adding these items to your
weekly shopping list. You can place them in the
bin as you enter the temple. A member of Social
Action will bring them to the JFCS each month.
We give a shout-out to the members of the board
for their generosity in overflowing our bin this
month. There was not enough room in our bin
for all of the donations. I would love to see that
each and every month.
During the month of November, we will have
two mitzvahs for those who wish to participate.
The first one is our annual trip to Father Bill’s in
Quincy. We need volunteers to contribute
lasagna (not frozen, please) as well as salad and
dessert. We also need volunteers to go to the
shelter and serve the lunch meal. This has been
very popular in the past so if you are interested,
please contact Lisa Berkin or Brenda Elfman.
Date to be announced. This is appropriate for
adults and older children (12 and up).
The second mitzvah of the month is a sock
drive. We will be placing boxes in each
classroom for contributions of socks. The class
with the most socks at the end of the month will
receive an ice cream sundae party. Just like last
year, socks will be donated to a shelter.
Social Action meets once/month and we are
always happy to see new faces and are open to
more suggestions. If you would like to become
more involved in your synagogue, this venue
may be for you.

President’s Message
by Michael S. Teller The idea for the Library
came about at an Oneg,
about five years ago, after a Friday night
Shabbat Service. Lauren and I were sitting with
the Cantor, enjoying a delicious dessert. I was
lamenting how no one could hear anything in
the Board meetings that were being held in the
middle of the Social Hall. The Cantor was
noting that classroom space was getting scarce
and that the room that was now the Library, so
near the school wing, was too small for all the
books in the collection.
I was looking at the stage area and noting how it
was under-used and it just clicked that this was a
potential space for a new Library that could also
function as a Board Room / Meeting Space,
Children’s Library, and Chapel. The potential
for the real estate at the end of the Social Hall
solved numerous problems with the bonus of
providing direct access to the David Carr Sukkat
Shalom.
Cantor Weiss began applying for grants to build
the space. One source was the Henry and Sylvia
Yaschik Foundation which is Bonnie
Friedman’s parent’s foundation. Their mission is
to support and build Jewish Libraries. Our needs
and their abilities came together in a series of
small grants, throughout the years, that began to
accumulate and they brought us about halfway
to our goal. This year however, in a surprise
move, the Yaschik Foundation completed the
gift with a very large check which spurred us to
proceed immediately to construction.
I already had the plans drawn ( as they had
always been included in the grant applications ).
We were lucky that the contractor that recently
completed the Golden Family Youth Room,
downstairs, was available and he did an
exceptional job in a very tight time frame. It was
truly a team effort to make this happen. Thank
you to Ellen Bernstein for putting up with the
construction over the summer and to Suzanne
Rubenstein for helping make color and finish
selections. Thank you to our IT brain trust,
Rusty Preble and Scott Elfman, for their
assistance setting up the equipment, as well.
There will soon be a movable partition installed
to create two individual spaces for even more
flexibility; a large library and meeting space,
with a children’s library and chapel. The lighting
is designed to support all the different functions
from study and research, meetings and classes,
to presentations and movies. The new glass
allows light from the Social Hall to flow in and,
because the glass is double pane, it makes the
room extremely quiet.
We will soon have the software and scanners to
implement a tracking system so we can
catalogue, move, and check out books. After all,
we are the “Children of the Book”.
Congregation Sha’aray Shalom now has the
only Jewish Library on the South Shore and we
are so proud that this will become such an
important part of our community. We hope that
you will enjoy it.
Brotherhood
by Arnie Goldie for the Committee As the fall
takes firm
hold and the leaves are falling your Brotherhood

planning fall and winter activities, including a
splendid array of guest speakers and other activities that will support the needs of our congregation. When we all work together we add to the

The Brotherhood is open to all male members of
our congregation. All are welcome and all are

A Word Of Thanks….
The High Holy Days and Festivals have come and gone
and their beauty was enhanced by all of the members of
the congregation who participated throughout the
services. Listed below are the nearly 100 individuals who
played a role in the success of our holy day and festival
services. From erecting the Sukkah, blowing the Shofar,
chanting Torah, or playing on the piano, guitar, viola or
flute, each person played a special role in making our
congregation come to life and made the services special
for all of us.

Office Observations
by Ellen Bernstein
“Park your gum at the door and keep your feet
off the floor.” This was my mom’s greeting for
years as we came in the back door after having
had our wood floors refinished. Oh how she
tried to keep the floors like new. With eight
children it is a hard thing to do. Now take that
up a few notches and think about all the
wonderful new spaces we have here at 1112
Main Street. Our Golden Family Youth
Lounge, the Henry and Sylvia Yaschik Library
and Conference Center, it was not too long ago
that we had our social hall repainted and new
covering on the wall and new classroom layouts
with new furniture. Spaces to come together to
worship, to study, to share a meal, to celebrate a
simcha, create keepsakes during family
education programs… The list is endless and the
need to care and respect the wonderful spaces
that are Congregation Sha’aray Shalom is
constant. As you come together to share in the
community that is all of ours remember we are
responsible for its care and upkeep. Lend a
helping hand to pick up something that has been
dropped, wipe up a spill, clean up after your
child has worked at the craft table, help clear up
after Oneg, Kiddush, dinner or class, don’t let
your children run around the social hall, offer to
take a load of table cloths to launder, bring a bag
of recycling to your recycling center, help your
children put away their work or remember to
take it home, and share your pride in your
congregation. Or as my mom always said,
“Hello, park your gum at the door and keep
your feet off the floor.” We welcome you into
our home.
A Word From The JCC Early Learning Center
The JCC Early
Learning Center
children have been
exploring fall! Trees
especially have been
growing through the school! Each classroom has
created their own trees using natural materials
from outside as well as recycle materials to
create some unique trees. We have read many
books to learn about trees and leaves as well as
songs. The children loved walking in the Sukkah
and even had a special snack in the Sukkah
during Sukkot!
by Myra Perlis
We are fortunate to have the My Gym program
visit our school several times a month. This
provides children with physical activity focused
on balancing skills, directions, and movement
and music. It is always the highlight of our day!
Friday's Shabbat continues to be apart of the
week everyone enjoys. Cantor Weiss joins us in
the Sanctuary to sing our favorite Shabbat songs,
make pretend chicken soup, Then we march
around the synagogue with our pretend Torahs
and proceed to the Bimah to look at the real
Torahs. The children love counting the number
of Torahs in Hebrew!
We will soon begin our re-enrollment process for
Fall 2013. There will be two Open Houses for
prospective families to visit the school and learn
about our program. The dates are: Sunday,
October 28th 11:00-12:30 pm and Sunday,
November 18th 11:12:30 pm . We welcome
Temple members to visit with us. Please feel free
to invite friends from the community.

The Sisterhood Brings You: Bat Mitzvah Happenings
by Linda Rotman
Melaney and Gregory Jenkins
Mazel Tov to the Jenkins family as they
celebrate the B’nai Mitzvah of their
children Melaney and Gregory on October
20th! Their Torah portion is about Noah
and how G-d commanded him to build an
ark and bring two of every animal on
board. For the past year, Melaney has
been helping out in the first grade Sunday
school class at Sha’aray Shalom. Melaney
chose this as her Mitzvah project because
she wanted to celebrate her grandfather’s
life as a teacher. She further added that she
loves being there and that the kids are
amazing and very cooperative. She feels
that the most challenging aspect of
becoming a B’nai Mitzvah is having to get
up in front of all the guests and “trying not
to mess up in front of them.” When she is
not busy with school, Melaney enjoys
theatre. She is currently involved in a
production of The Wizard of Oz at Hull
High School which will be playing
December 7th, 8th, and 9th! She has
several parts in the show, including: a
munchkin, an Oz worker, flying monkey,
and more! Additionally, Melaney enjoys
playing softball in the spring. In the future,
she hopes to be looking at good colleges,
getting into college, and “staying on track”
with her life. She has entertained the
thought of possibly becoming a teacher
one day. She looks up to her two sisters
Ashely (19) and Brittany (18) whom she
really admires. Melaney is looking
forward to seeing all of her family and
welcoming their support on her big day.
She recommends that future Bar/Bat
Mitzvah students practice hard in their
free time and definitely go over their
Torah portion and prayers. Additionally,
Melaney wanted to cite her late
grandmother and grandfather as the
“greatest inspiration” in her life. She
passionately spoke about how good they
were to her and how much they had
taught her.
Greg stated that they helped him learn a
great deal in his life. He looks forward to
seeing his family—some of whom are
traveling far to attend the event, including
Ohio and Florida! As for advice to future
Bar/Bat Mitzvah students, Greg stated:
“Don’t wait till the last week to get
everything done!”
After speaking to Melaney, I had the
pleasure of interviewing her brother Greg
who is also looking forward to their big
day! Greg told me that he is also helping
to teach Sunday school at Sha’aray
Shalom. He is helping in the pre-school
class and enjoying it. Greg felt that the
most challenging part of becoming a B’nai
Mitzvah was learning the Torah portion
and all of the prayers. When he is not in
school, Greg is a passionate athlete who is
engaged in numerous sports, including:
hockey, soccer, baseball, and basketball!
He cited hockey as his favorite sport! Greg
also loves to surf which he learned from
his neighbors. In the future, he envisions
himself looking at colleges and studying as
hard as he can. He looks up to his late
Grammy and Papa as his role models.

Reasons to Review Your Existing Life
Insurance Policy
1. The need for life insurance may have increased or decreased if you changed jobs, got married,
got divorced, had a child, etc.
2. Your need for life insurance has changed. You may now have a need for life insurance for a
longer period than you originally anticipated.
3. The current cash value policy of your policy is not performing well or is no longer meeting your
needs.
4. Your family or business situation may have changed.
5. Your health has significantly improved or declined since your last policy was issued.
6. Your policy is owned in your name and instead it should be owned by your spouse, or an
Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust.
We will offer you an unbiased, honest, second opinion of your current policy by analyzing it,
evaluating it, checking out it’s performance, and if appropriate, consider alternative options.
