December 2011 - Temple Beth Sholom
Temple Beth Sholom 401 Roslyn Road, Roslyn Heights, NY www.tbsroslyn.org • 516-621-2288 December 2011 Kislev/Tevet 5772 Happy Chanukah First Candle - Tuesday, December 20 FROM THE RABBI’S DESK By Rabbi Alan B. Lucas A Parent’s Responsibility I was overwhelmed by the turnout at the recent program we cosponsored featuring Dr. Wendy Mogel, internationally acclaimed clinical psychologist, parenting expert and New York Times best selling author of “The Blessing of a Skinned Knee” and “The Blessing of a B Minus.” More than 800 people came and hung on her every word. She was informative and entertaining and clearly there is a desire to learn. Parents now more than ever feel at a loss. I believe that what has changed is not that the world is a more confusing place – it has always been so. What has changed is that the old structures that provided new parents with guidance and wisdom are not as available as they used to. Grandparents are off pursuing their own lives, and sometimes live far away – and more then ever young parents feel left to themselves to find their way in a challenging and confusing world. We can help. I believe the synagogue and Jewish tradition can provide the kind of guidance and wisdom that parents desperately need. Programs like our Morei Derech – are designed precisely for this purpose. The idea behind our Morei Derech program is to bring young parents and “more seasoned” parents together and to study and learn with our rabbis and educators what Judaism has to say and offer as we all work our way through the challenges of raising children. What are parents’ obligations to their children: To love them, to feed them, to protect them? Isn’t it interesting that the Torah does not speak of such obligations? Nowhere in the Torah is there a requirement to love your children. Nowhere is there a mitzvah to feed them. There is a discussion of parental responsibility in the Talmud in the Tractate of Kiddushin (29a) where it speaks of some of the detailed requirements of a parent to their child – but again it does not speak of these basic things rather it speaks about our obligation to circumcise our sons and marry them off and teach them a trade and even to teach them to swim – but not a mention of love, sustenance, clothing or the need to provide a roof over their heads. Dr. Micha Goodman a Fellow at the Hartman Institute and professor of Jewish Thought offers a possible explanation. A parent does not need to be taught to love their child. As parents we do not need to be taught to feed, to clothe to protect and care for them—we do these things the same way that we don’t need to be taught to breathe or feed ourselves – they are inherent in who we are as parents. But we do need to be taught to educate our children, to reach them a trade even how to swim. Why are these things different? From the very first moment you hold that infant in your arms – you as a parent understand that your child is dependent on you for most of his or her basic needs. needed. But there comes a point when our children must become independent of us – when they must live on their own, love on their own and to do the things we need to do as parents to help them achieve this independence – well that does not come so easily and certainly not naturally. Here the Torah must require us to do these things that we might not come to do on our own.It is a wonderful insight. The responsibilities of a parent are two-fold: to provide for our children when they are young all the things they depend on us to provide. And then, as they grow, our job is to help them develop the skills, the insight and the wisdom they will need to make it on their own. I love teaching High School students. My hours teaching in our Machon Beth Shalom with our High School students are amongst the most challenging and most fulfilling hours that make up my week. I love dealing with young people precisely as they are navigating the transition from dependence to independence and sharing with them the wisdom of our tradition to help guide them as they do so. The biggest fear a parent has is that as we step back and encourage our children to step forward on their own – we fear that due to immaturity and lack of experience they will make decisions that will hurt and harm them irreparably. It is one thing to stand back as our toddler takes their first step – knowing they may fall down and go boom. It is quite another when we hand over the keys to the car and know that a mistake, or bad judgment can be fatal. It is not made any easier when we open our newspapers every day and read of the tragic results of good kids who make bad judgments and end up seriously injured or worse. What is a parent to do? Two thousand years ago the rabbis of the Talmud taught us of the need to guide our children and give them the skills and wisdom to become independent. The challenge is no less important today. I hope you will allow your synagogue to help you grow and develop as a parent. I hope you will seek out more information about our various programs and come and study with us – so the wisdom of our sacred tradition can help you – as it has helped and guided the generations that have preceded you. Religious School Chanukah Book Fair! December 11th As a parent we understand this dependency and we even thrive on it – it is nice to be loved and it is wonderful to be Temple Beth Sholom 2 FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK By Marc Magid Happy Chanukah! Enjoy Our Many Social Events! With Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, just a few weeks away, we are in a celebratory mood at Temple Beth Sholom evident by this month’s many social events featuring great entertainment. We start off with our Friday Night Live service and dinner welcoming our new members on December 2 and conclude the weekend on Sunday, December 4, at 4 p.m. with an electrifying concert featuring Rick Recht, the country’s top touring musician in the Jewish music circuit. He is an exceptional entertainer who has become an icon for Jewish youth, instilling pride and uplifting Jewish identity in his audiences. This concert is sure to be a real treat for the entire family. Ticket prices range from $5 for children ages 2 to 6, $10 for children ages 7 to 17, and $18 for adults. Just prior to the concert, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., there will be a Beth Sholom Day Camp Reunion and Camp and Early Childhood Center Open House. On Saturday, December 10, at 8 p.m., join us for our second annual Comedy Night. This event will feature three comics: Johnny Lampert, Moody McCarthy and Sherry Davey. Please BYOKB and BYOF (bring your own kosher bottle and bring your own friends), and we will provide the snacks. The event costs $20 per person in advance and $25 at the door. There is one thing I can guarantee: Anyone with a funny bone will be in for some really good laughs! The next morning, on December 11, the Men’s Club is running a blood donation drive at the Temple. All donors will receive a coupon for a free pint of soup at Ben’s Deli. Please call the office at 621-2288 to schedule an appointment. This is a great opportunity to help others with what could be a life saving gift. Also that morning is our PTA-sponsored Book Fair, a great place to purchase books and games for Chanukah gifts. Books for adults will also be available. Please Save the Date for Our Big Social Event Coming on Saturday, January 28, is our third annual Disco, Dinner & Denim Night, where you can dance up a storm while supporting our fundraising efforts. The raffle prizes and silent auction items at this event are very distinctive, desirable items just waiting for you to bid on them. Our Shabbat services are always evolving, as Rabbi Lucas, Rabbi Beyer and Cantor Barnoy in conjunction with our Religious Affairs Committee work together to enhance our worship. To make it easier for our congregants and to improve the flow of our Torah service, we are asking people to stand at their seats and announce the names of those for whom they pray for good health, rather than come up to the bimah. This will allow everyone who wants to say misheberach for a relative or friend who is ill to do so easily. If you, yourself, are not well enough to attend services, fill out the misheberach form on our website under the Prayer tab, and our clergy will announce the names you request on your behalf. Rabbi Beyer launched Minyan Nafsheinu service on Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan, October 29. This new format provides a relaxed opportunity for prayer and insight into the Shacharit service, and it concludes in time for participants to join the congregation in the main sanctuary for the sermon and Musaf service. Minyan Nafsheinu will meet next on December 3 and January 7. See you there. This year at TBS we are starting an initiative to enable our clergy to meet and socialize with groups of our members. If you and your family have not had a chance to get to know Rabbi Lucas, Rabbi Beyer, and Cantor Barnoy personally, let our office know and we will see to it that you are included. New Caterer Looks Forward to Serving You Joseph Craig Catering, our new caterer, is updating the décor of our function rooms, and has painted the ballroom and installed new lighting. The chef ’s Glatt Kosher cuisine is absolutely delicious! Craig Weinberg, one of the partners, is booking parties for our congregants and other members of the community. He looks forward to working with you on your simcha, so please feel free to contact him directly at 621-8200. On behalf of myself, my wife Amy, and the TBS Board of Trustees, best wishes to your and your family for a Happy & Festive Chanukah. Let us celebrate the Festival of Lights, which commemorates Judah Maccabee’s victory over Antiochus in 165 B.C.E., with a reverence for miracles! Just as one day’s worth of oil lasted for eight days, and the small band of Maccabees defeated their much larger foe, let us believe that ultimately, righteousness will prevail in the world and that all of Israel will know peace. Shalom chaverim, Shalom friends, Marc Magid Join us on December 2nd Friday Night Live! New Member Dinner Dinner - 6:45 PM Friday Night Live! - 8 PM Temple Beth Sholom 3 FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR By Donna Bartolomeo People constantly marvel about the fact that TBS always has so many individuals attending programs, lectures, classes, etc. After the holidays were over, the Herbert Tarr North Shore Institute for Adult Jewish Education began, which features a variety of classes and fascinating lectures on Monday nights in October and November got off to a great start. For the first lecture we had over 400 people in our sanctuary. Coming up on December 4 we will be having the Rick Recht concert and Comedy Night on December 10. Both events are sure to be well-attended. And don’t forget our annual Blood Drive -help others by donating blood on December 11. As you heard on Kol Nidre, Temple Beth Sholom has been awarded the Homeland Security Grant. We have been granted $75,000. During the next few months, you will start to see the security improvements in and around the Temple. Last year, following membership approval we began replacing the roofs on our building. The next stage was just completed successfully in the Wingate Center and we expect to stay dry and warm for years to come.

The following article comes from Loen Amer, who also serves as our Youth Director. She writes about one of the highlights in our year – our Rosh Hodesh groups. She explains everything in her usual energetic fashion. I will let her do the writing. Hodesh Tov (a good month), Gila LEARNING FROM MY STUDENTS EVERY MONTH By Loen Amer, Youth Director I love being a Machon teacher! Last time I was asked to write a bulletin article, it was a top ten list of the reasons I love Machon so much. Machon is a fabulous supplemental Jewish high school, providing stimulating, substantive learning to different kinds of teen learners. Machon combines formal education in the study track, with the significant social interaction of youth group in USY, and learning through active social action projects in the “Gimme 10.” As much as I love Machon, one of the things I most love about it are the monthly Rosh Hodesh groups (which means I love Rosh Hodesh groups so, so much!). Rosh Hodesh is the first day of the new Hebrew month. The Rosh Hodesh groups for young women at Machon are based on the Rosh Hodesh: It’s a Girl Thing! curriculum, a program of Moving Traditions. Temple Beth Sholom was initially a pilot site for the project, and it has been successful here for years. There is a traditional assignment of Rosh Hodesh in Judaism as a day scared to women. It is the perfect time for teenage young women to meet for discussion, art work, and Jewish study about issues such as body image, friendship, stress, romantic relationships, academic pressure, and family. As an egalitarian congregation, we of course also offer a program for young men, “Bro Hodesh.” At the beginning of each Hebrew month, groups of guys meet for activities and discussion that bring meaning to their lives and create positive Jewish identity. I am very excited to announce that this year we will also be inviting day school students to join the new groups for the eighth and ninth graders. Until last June I was privileged to facilitate a group for the young women of the Machon class of 2011. Each month the teens and I would play games or create artwork, and discuss issues relevant to their lives based on traditional Jewish themes for that month. The “Rosh Hodesh Cloth” of the class of 2011 The Talmud quotes the great rabbi, Rabbi Chanina as having said, “I have learned much from my teachers, more from my colleagues, and the most from my students” (Ta’anis 7a). Any good teacher knows the deep truth of that statement. I have often learned so much from my students. Though I’ve often had the wonderful experience of learning from students, it has never been as often true for me as it was in the Rosh Hodesh group. I’m confident that I learned far more from those young women than they did from me. I also know they learned a tremendous amount from each other, reflecting the second part of Rabbi Chanina’s statement, of having learned “more from my colleagues.” Our Rosh Hodesh group was a wonderful learning community, of which I loved being a part. This year, I confess that I’m nervous about my new Rosh Hodesh group of eighth graders. I had such a positive experience; how can a new group even come close? As was often the case, wisdom from last year’s group has reassured me. When discussing the nervousness of graduating high school and moving to college they were all experiencing last year, one of them pointed out that even if the future is scary, it would be worse if things never changed at all. Of course, she was right. I plan to learn just as much from the eighth graders this year. I am excited that the Machon and day school students will be creating a community of wonderful teens together. Even if it is scary, how can that be anything other than fantastic?

We extend a huge Yasher Koach to Kitah Gimel (3rd grade) who went to visit Sun Harbor Nursing Home in Roslyn, to Kitah Daled (4th grade) who cooked for the INN Interfaith Nutrition Network, to Kitah Hay (5th grade) students who went to the Atria Assisted Living facility in Lynbrook and to Kitah Vav (6th grade) who helped feed the hungry on Long Island. Each one of us can make a difference if we each lend a hand to those less fortunate. It is very easy to buy games and just give tzedakah but it rises to a different dimension when our children and families give up their time to support and visit the elderly or disadvantaged in our local community. These acts of loving kindness (Gemilut Hasadim) displayed by our families created and left powerful, positive Jewish memories. As we now begin the month of December, many exciting learning opportunities and activities are in store. We look forward to our annual Book Fair, which is sponsored by the Religious School PTA. Please support our PTA by purchasing your Chanukah gifts, books, and games at this big fundraiser, scheduled for Sunday, December 11th. Please mark your calendar! Jewish Literacy Comes Alive on Sunday, December 11th when our Bet classes launch a wonderful, empowering family program called Bet Connection. Each family will have an PTA PATTER By Francine Weinman & Felice Bergman Co-PTA Presidents opportunity over the course of the school year to read a book to the class and facilitate learning on Jewish topics/ holidays. This joint parent-child experience culminates each week with a hands-on class project that truly engages the class and family. This is a fine example of the family/home connection that Temple Beth Sholom Religious School strives so hard to achieve. Our Chanukah Assembly/Celebration/Candle-lighting will take place on Tuesday, December 20th at 5:00 pm. There will be regular classes from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. We will then enjoy dancing, singing, and sofganiyot (jelly donuts). Of course, we will feast on latkes, courtesy of our Men’s Club. Toda Raba to Joe Bruck, President of the Men’s Club and his crew for making our Chanukah so special. We will also have Chanukah raffles, prizes and so much more! It’s time to start planning your Chanukiah masterpiece! The theme for our annual Chanukiah-thon will be “The Miracle of Chanukah”. All Chanukiot will be on display on Tuesday, December 13th, and will be judged by our famous, impartial judges: Rabbi Lucas, Rabbi Beyer, Cantor Barnoy, Donna Bartolomeo and Marc Magid. We encourage everyone in grades Gan – Zayin to participate in this fun event. Prizes will be awarded for the most original, most artistic and most related to the theme! This year, students in grades 4-7 (Daled-Zayin) are being challenged to enter our Chanukah Poetry/Song/Video Contest by submitting original work, also focusing on “The Miracle of Chanukah” theme. The grand prize will be a camera as well as two runner-up prizes – gift cards/ games. Here is your chance to show off your creative talents, and who knows, we might just have a You-Tube media sensation in our TBS midst! I wish you and your family a Happy Chanukah that is filled with joy and light. The Religious school PTA has been busy this academic year! We started off the school year with a welcome brunch meeting in September. It was great to welcome many new parents looking to be involved in enhancing their children’s Religious school education! A HUGE thank you to all of the families that helped to decorate our Temple’s sukkah. We had dad’s on ladders hanging decorations up high, moms all around and children making paper chains and hanging the wonderfully, creative masterpieces that our children made during Religious school under the auspices of their talented art teacher. The sukkah looked fantastic! Our first two fundraisers have been major successes! We are collecting Box tops all year. Please look for collection boxes at the Temple entrances. If you have not purchased your KidStuff book, the next opportunity will be at our Religious School Chanukah Book Fair on December 11th.

Schlesinger Every year Jim and I have the pleasure of gathering together with our daughters and their families and other relatives for a Chanukah party. We light candles together (a real pool of light) and we exchange gifts. It is a fun filled evening. The highlight of the fun is the singing. We sing all types of songs including all five verses of Maoz Tzur. But I want to write about one of the other songs. It is a ditty about how it wasn’t Judah Maccabee who won the war against the Syrians, but rather it was Mrs. Maccabeus. It tells about how it really was her Latkes that did the work. It is a silly song but it contains a powerful message. History concentrates on the deeds of great men but always forgets that behind them were wives who deserved great credit for Sisterhood Brunch & Learn Brunch and Learn is a wonderful learning opportunity for all members of our congregation, not just sisterhood members. Please join us for exciting lectures and great company. their silent service. In today’s world we are much more cognizant of the role women have played and are playing. It has been my pleasure over the past umpteen years to be involved in a project of women, Torah Fund. This is not behind the scenes. This is an area where women throughout the country take it upon themselves to take the lead and make it possible for young men and women to study at the Jewish Theological Seminary, Ziegler School, Schechter Institute and Seminario Rabbinco to become the Rabbis, Cantors and Jewish Educators for the future. As the tax year comes to an end, those of you who have not yet made a special gift to Torah Fund, please remember Torah Fund as one of your charitable contributions for 2011. Happy Chanukah!!!

Archie Rand is one of the most progressive American Jewish artists of the 20th century and the leading proponent of Biblical content in modern art. If you’ve noticed the colorful exhibit of his paintings in the Temple and read about it in the October Bulletin, you know you’re in for a real treat. Bat-Sheva Slavin, TBS’s museum curator, will share her insights with us about three of Rand’s most important series of works on exhibit here that bring the Bible to life!
