Thinking about the Summer Rabbi Jeffrey Clopper Fall is finally here! I love when the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change color. Though it is a beautiful backdrop, I must admit that I actually find myself longing for summer. Not because I want to lounge at the beach or eat ice cream…although I do enjoy both. For me, summer conjures images of days spent at camp: playing with friends, sharing meals in a noisy dining room, sleeping in bunk beds and learning so much about life from bunkmates and counselors. I am a BIG believer in camp, especially Jewish camp. Through the years, I have spent the majority of my summers at camp and the lionʼs share of those in overnight camp. I am always amazed at the life, the energy and the creativity that effuses every aspect of it. Educationally speaking, few places, if any, provide a better environment for enhancing self-esteem and for making lasting friendships. In Jewish terms, surveys have proven that camp is one of the top four factors the other three being youth grouping, Jewish day schools and Israel trip in solidifying a childʼs strong and lasting Jewish identity. Camp is a natural extension of what we try to do in Religious School. It immerses campers in Jewish life in a way that is difficult to replicate in any classroom. When the Motzi - the blessing over bread, is said at each meal, everyday objects are referred to by their Hebrew names, and the entire camp stops to welcome Shabbat with prayer and song. There is a special feeling - a kind of magic - that is so unique. If you already send your child to camp, I know what a difference it makes for him or her. If you have chosen Jewish camp, I thank you knowing what it will mean for your childʼs Jewish identity and ultimately the future of our people. If you have a child in fourth grade or above, please consider an exciting camp adventure for next summer. I know not all children are suited for overnight camp. However, if you think yours might be, there are so many options to consider, especially Eisner Camp, which has been around for more than sixty years, or Crane Lake Camp. Thatʼs where Carol works as a member of senior staff and I serve on the faculty. Both camps are affiliated with our Reform movement which now has added two specialty camps: 6-Points Sports Academy for Jewish children who take sports very seriously and 6-Points Sci-Tech Academy a remarkable place, where they spend two weeks experiencing science, with robotics, video game creation and a host of other science - related disciplines. If you might be interested or know someone who could benefit from an exciting camp experience, please let me know. I always am happy to tell anyone about each of the amazing camps listed or to help find just the right place to experience a life-changing summer. The snow hasnʼt started yet. Yet I know when it comes it means we will be that much closer to summer. I canʼt wait! To Ira and Cheryl Richman, on the birth of their grandson, Elliott. To Richard and Rosalie Kammerling, on the birth of their grandson, Raiden. To Norman and Harriet Copel, on the birth of their granddaughter, Eden. To Ruth Lilker, on ther granddaughter Muriel's marriage to Alfiero Fratarcangeli. To Susan and Jerry Wolff, on their 50th wedding anniversary. Howard W. Schneider, Temple President Kol Nidre I have been told by many that they really liked my Kol Nidre speech. So for the benefit of those who were not there, and at the risk of being overly repetitive, I have decided to publish a synopsis of it on these pages. Thank you to everyone who “takes it to heart”. When I looked out over the crowd on Kol Nidre night I saw many people I recognized as frequently coming to temple, as well as many that I had never met. Regardless, we all came for a common purpose. Along with millions of other Jews throughout the world, we came united to our sense of Jewish self, our Jewish spirituality. This year, 5776, I would like to invite you all to stay connected to your temple family, not just during the High Holy Days, but throughout the year. I have learned a lot about what it takes to run a temple during my first few months as president. Above all, two things are abundantly clear: what an amazing temple family we have, and what amazing opportunities we have to offer. For both young and old we offer innumerable opportunities for learning, fun, comradery, social action, and spirituality. Join our temple Meetup Group. Make new friends and have some new adventures. Like our temple Facebook page to get updates on what is happening with our active Brotherhood, Sisterhood, Chai Club, and Youth Groups. If you have acting, or artistic talent, get involved in our Chutzpah Repertory Theater production of “Oliver”. If you donʼt, then come to see the show this coming spring. Unwind from the weekʼs “rat race” at a Friday night Shabbat service. Another way to connect to your temple family is through Tzedakah. While TBE is well known for sponsoring many community-wide charitable events through our Social Action Committee, we also provide Tzedakah to those of our temple family in need. Whether it is reduced temple dues, aid from our Caring Committee or emotional support during difficult times, your contributions are what makes it possible. The reality is that dues only cover about half of the templeʼs yearly budget. The rest comes from your charitable donations. Thanks to your generosity, last yearʼs Kol Nidre appeal exceeded its goal and combined with sound fiscal management allowed TBE to finish the year “in the black”. Not by much, but for the first time in many years we did not run a deficit. This year I am hoping that we can do better. I am asking everyone who did not participate in last yearʼs Kol Nidre appeal to please contribute at least $36.00 and those of you who did participate, to please consider increasing your last yearʼs donation by at least $36.00. Our temple wish list for this year includes: a handicapped ramp to the Bimah, a sound system for the hearing impaired and upgraded security for religious school. This year, in addition to giving at Kol Nidre, I kindly ask that you consider doubling your Mitzvah. Please consider that for every donation you make to a charity, you make a matching donation to your TBE family. TBE is a diverse and progressive Jewish community. Are we perfect? No - but as Rabbi Clopper reminded us in his Rosh Hashanah sermon, we are open to change and new ideas. This year, I would like to hear from all of you. What is the temple doing right? What do we need to improve? If you are interested in sharing your thoughts with me, my email is: [email protected]. I canʼt promise that we will be able to make every change, but I can promise that I will listen. I can promise that with your assistance, Rabbi Clopper, Cantor Alison, Diane Berg, our staff, myself and your temple board will all strive to make TBE the best that it can be. I hope to see you at temple this year and wish you a sweet and happy 5776. LʼShanna Tova.

Diane E. Berg, RJE There is power in the name a person makes for him or herself. It is our identity. It represents who we have become. It is our reputation, our personal brand. When someone mentions your name you hope it conjures up good images. So it is with schools. When you think of the word “school”, what do you think of? You most likely think of desks, chalk boards, teachers, books, and homework. And what do your children think of? More work. In fact, if you Google images for school you would be hard-pressed to see anything outside this stereotype. Now, look at the definition of school in the Oxford Dictionary: An institution for educating children. Institution! It sounds more like incarceration. We Reform Jews have done a great job of eliminating names for God that limit us in how we understand God. There are no more definitive names like “Rock, Lord, Him, He, His, and Master.” We know that God is beyond the limitations of words. This change has opened us up to thinking of God in different ways. Since the word “school” limits us, we are going to rename our school. We have changed, Jewish education has changed and what we do in the classroom has certainly changed. We should not be limited by the word “school” because we are so much more. Here is the challenge. I want to rename our school by eliminating the word “School.” I want your help because we deserve a new name that will recognize us for being innovative, cutting edge, creative, supportive and all the adjectives that represent who we are. We will be having a contest to rename us and in order to get adults and kids to think of an appropriate name, I am offering a $50.00 prize. It is that important to me. Remember that our name reflects who we are, so think carefully and sign up on the special entry tickets by the Boxtops for Education box outside our office door. Then place your entry with your name and date and the name you are suggesting in the Boxtops box. Our Religious School Committee will make the final decision. Start thinking! Temple Library Happy New Year! - Begin your Celebration at the Temple Beth El Library. Do you enter the Temple with a feeling of awe? A need for Teshuvah – turning away from those actions of which you are not proud and turning toward a New Year of Mitzvot, learning and working toward being a better Jew, as well as a better person? You and your family can make this holiday and the others in our Jewish calendar more meaningful, understandable and memorable. Begin with the resource books, High Holiday Bible Themes, Volume One - Rosh Hashanah and Volume Two - Yom Kippur. They will help you understand the commentaries and sermons. We have many other books that will enhance your participation. Questions you may ask yourself: What is the significance of the Akedah? Discover the many interpretations this questionable action evokes in relation to God, Abraham and Isaac. Is this a story against paganism and child sacrifice? Is it applicable today when we see Arab terrorists strapping bombs to their children in actions against Israel and its Jews? What of Abraham? Did he take into account Sarahʼs feelings for her beloved child who came so late in life? Did she know what Abraham planned to do? Did she go along willingly or did she plead with Abraham to spare her child? Did Isaac know and understand what was happening? Did he go willingly or argue with his father? How did he feel afterward? Do your children go willingly to Rosh Hashanah services? Do they understand what is happening? Your library has many books for children of all ages to learn about the holidays including Tashlik. Our holiday books for nursery through adult readers are on display. Bring more spirit, learning and excitement to your New Year. Please plan on visiting the TBE Library. Youʼll be glad you did. Temple Beth El Library Research Fellowship Information is available for our Fellowship in the weekly TBEvents and in your library. We must express our thanks to Adrianne and Shelly Dietz for their generous donation. For any questions, please call: Jackie Hasson, Library Coordinator 631-421-5835, ext. 210 3 Social Action News Carol Werblin, Social Action Chairperson Our recent High Holy Days Food Drive was extremely successful. Thanks to the help of Paula Klein, Sue Seiler, BEASTY and their president Haley Davis, Olivia Samuel, and Julia McDonagh. Reusable grocery bags were handed out to the congregation after Rosh Hashanah services and returned on Yom Kippur. They were returned with more than five hundred pounds of food. This generosity has provided, Island Harvest, Tri-CYA, and our two pantries with a large stock of food. We really appreciate everyoneʼs generous contributions. Please continue to bring non-perishable food whenever you come to temple for the many families in need that access our food pantry, as well as others that we help directly. To find out what's needed most, check the Social Action Corner of TBEvents. In September, we began the fourth year of Project HOPE-TBE. Thanks to Dan Diviney and Kara Werner, the Directors of Project HOPE at St. Hugh. and the TBE volunteers , a wonderful dinner was served at St. Hughʼs Church to one hundred seventy guests from the local Huntington community. We extend a special thanks to Delea Farms in Elwood for donating bushels of peppers, zucchini and eggplants for our vegetable lasagna. Please stop by their farm stand and thank them for their generosity. We would also like to especially thank Howard W.Schneider, DDS and the “Dentists for a Better Huntington”. Project HOPE has been selected as a recipient of one of their many grants for the second year in a row. Sue and I couldnʼt be more thrilled. We now can provide a Sunday Supper each month to a hundred and sixty community members at the Moose Lodge in Greenlawn. If you would like to volunteer and “see what we are all about”, the Project HOPE calendar is printed on the temple web-site and in the Social Action Calendar posted in the atrium. There are many volunteer opportunities for young and “not-so young” alike. The Social Action Committee is preparing to host TBEʼs - Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner and Boutique for our needy neighbors. This year the dinner will be held on Sunday, November 22nd. 2:00 p.m. We need helpers and volunteers to drive guests, work in the kitchen, set tables, serve dinner, clean up, and help with our clothing boutique from 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Canʼt come on Sunday?

In December, we will begin the Huntington Interfaith Homeless Initiative (HIHI) for the12th.season. We will be housing about thirty people who are unable to access Suffolk County's - Emergency Shelter Program.

On November 15th we will have another meeting, this one on a very important topic: food insecurity and hunger on Long Island and in the Huntington area. This event is hosted by the Menʼs Club, but will be jointly produced with the Social Action Committee. Please attend, all are invited. The Menʼs Club will be having several events, some social, some “back to nature.” We had a “Boyʼs Night Out” at Rookies in October, where we watched the Mets win against the Cubs while eating sliders and drinking some fine beer. Whatʼs not to like? The December 13th, meeting will take place, Sunday at 9:15 am. The topic of discussion will be: ”Israeli Tennis Centers”. This organization is not just about tennis but aims to promote positive coexistence of Israeli youth of all backgrounds through sports participation Yes, we hosted another “Back to Nature” Event. This time, the walk took place in Stony Brook Village, at the Avalon Park and Preserve. If you have not been there, you are missing out on something really nice. This park is an amazing gem in “our backyards”: One hundred and forty six acres of beautiful gardens and an easy walk. The weather was amazing. We saw wild life and had the opportunity to send loved ones with no earthly address a message via Cartes al Cielo. A terrific day indeed! Hope to see everyone at these events. For additional information please contact me: [email protected] We’ve Missed You Double Your Mitzvah Have you been away from Temple Beth El or know someone who has been away for more than a year?

Eric Dombrower – November 7th. Temple Beth El has played a huge role in Eric's growth over the years. Rabbi Clopper, Cantor Lopatin, Ms.Diane Berg and the religious school teachers have made him feel like TBE is his second home. We appreciate all they have done to help and teach him how to be a "Mench." For his Community Service and Tzedakah Projects, Eric has combined his kindness towards others and his love for animals. He has donated money to ARF- Aruba, which is an organization that unites homeless animals from the island of Aruba with adoptive families in the United States and Canada. He has also collected various items for the “furry residents” of Huntington's Little Shelter. For his Creative Project, Eric chose to bake a Challah with his grandmother and share it with those at his Bar Mitzvah. We are very proud of Eric, and can't wait to celebrate these accomplishments as he becomes a young man. Logan Slansky – November 14th. Temple Beth El has been a very special place and welcoming community to our family over the past eight years. We are so proud of Logan becoming a Bar Mitzvah and want to express our thanks to Rabbi Clopper, Cantor Allison, Lenny Thaw and all of Logan's teachers for their guidance leading up to and during this journey. Logan's Mitzvah Projects reflect his passion for music. Logan has been playing piano from age six and at age eight he began practicing with drums and percussion. He will be performing a piano solo piece during his service for his Creative Project. For his G'milut Chasadim Project, Logan decided to volunteer his time at “School of Rock Rookies” Program, which inspires first and second graders to enjoy and pursue music by teaching them to recognize pitch, understand rhythm and participate in musical teamwork. Logan will be making a donation to The Fender Music Foundation for his Tzedakah Project. The Fender Music Foundation is a charity whose donations provide musical instruments to school music programs, after school programs and music therapy programs. We are extremely proud of Logan and the young man he is becoming. His warm, caring and generous nature make him an amazing person to be around. Jeremy Forman – December 5th From the day our family joined the Temple Beth El Community, we have been nothing less than amazed by the dedication, caring, and nurturing nature of both the clergy and the educators. It has truly been a pleasure to watch Jeremyʼs interest in his Jewish heritage blossom due in no small part to the enthusiasm of Rabbi Clopper, Cantors Sherry and Lopatin, Diane Berg, and his Religious Education teachers from his first day to this day. We are extremely proud to see Jeremy “be excited and inspired” by his studies. Jeremyʼs Gʼmilut Chasadim reflects his concern for the Environment and the Preservation of Resources for future generations. He has dedicated himself to volunteering for beach and roadside cleanup projects throughout Suffolk County. In addition, he has an ongoing newspaper collection which is donated to the Long Island Rabbit Rescue Group (on a monthly basis) for the care of their foster and special needs rabbits. Jeremyʼs Tzedakah Project is inspired by his love of animals. He hopes that there will come a day when no healthy, loving companion animals will need to be euthanized and he has chosen to make a donation to The Little Shelter in Huntington in memory of our beloved Corgi...Max. It has been a privilege and a joy to witness the growth of our “little boy” into the insightful, compassionate young man he has become. We are grateful that Temple Beth El has played an integral part in the development of his social consciousness and his pride in his Jewish Heritage. 8 Chutzpah The Magic is Back! Show Dates: th.
