Thursday, November 27 Thanksgiving Day Rabbi Deborah Zuker As we move out of the month of Tishrei - the month of Rosh Hashanah, Tzom Gedalia, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Hoshana Rabba, Shmini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah - we enter the month of Cheshvan - a month with no holidays!! Cheshvan is often referred to as Marcheshvan - 'bitter Cheshvan', because we have no holidays to sweeten our days. At TNT we enjoyed an incredibly successful Tishrei holiday season. My sincere thanks to the many volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur run smoothly. Thank you to all the families who came and participated in our Simchat Torah Celebration and Consecration - congratulations to our religious school students who are embarking on a new year of learning. I'd like to give my particular thanks to Cantor Steve your energy, passion, and talent made our prayers soar. And also to Beth Hoffman who does so much to run the temple office and to help me do my job. Without holidays to celebrate, we have filled Cheshvan/ November with many wonderful events, educational opportunities, and programs. I am particularly excited about our Adult Education four-part series (four Thur sdays beginning Oct. 30) on the topic of "Judaism and Gender." We will also be restarting our Thursday (noon) Torah study class, and the Sunday morning Cream Cheese Club Torah study following 9 AM minyan. President, Eric Richman Hello Congregants, This month’s President’s message is being scribed by a guest columnist. Eric told me to thank all of you that contributed to the High Holy Day appeal. If you still have your appeal card, please consider sending in your contribution. First let me say that the month of October was a busy month. We started the month with Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur, sprinkle in a Sukkot Dinner, Simchat Torah Ice Cream Oneg and a Friday Night 2nd grade class service. We concluded the month with the Men’s Club Keeper of The Flame dinner for Mel Babner and Sisterhood Paid Up Supper. It was great to see many of you at these different occasions. The month of November is packed with other programs that you can take advantage of. The Sisterhood rummage sale, the winter coat drive, Men’s Club Paid Up Supper, Sisterhood Game Night and the Men’s Club Texas Hold’em just to name a few. As Eric mentioned, the Temple Board had a Brainstorming and Planning meeting and came up with 14 projects. Several are beginning to take shape. Mark Rudin and Richard Strauss are coordinating teams on special Shabbats. Elisa Zimmerman and her crew are working on a Sleigh/Hay ride in coordination with a Hanukkah party. Allen Talewsky is looking into setting up a Jewish Tour of Boston. Please watch your bulletin for more information on these projects. If you are interested in working on or finding out more on any of the projects, contact the Temple office. We have several special Shabbat programs on the calendar to look forward to. On Friday November 14th we will host a "Faith Matters" speaker, Pastor Joel Anderle, who will speak about Evangelical Christians and Israel. On Friday November 21st we will mark Interfaith Families Shabbat, a new program for us. Please come support these innovative adult-learning Shabbat programs. Also, please mark your calendar for our annual Peabody Interfaith Thanksgiving Service on Tuesday November 25th at 7pm at St. Thomas the Apostle Church. For the young people in our congregation, we have another "Teddy Bear Shabbat" coming up on November 7th, as well as "Havdallah and Family Movie Night" (for the young and the young at heart!) on Saturday November 22nd. I look forward to seeing you throughout the month of Cheshvan! Chodesh Tov, Rabbi Deborah Zuker Happy Thanksgiving! L’Shalom – Mystery Columnist Cantor Stephen Abramowitz Thanksgivukkah: One Year Later Can you believe it was just one year ago when we were dreaming of turkey with latkes, cranberry sauce with sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts) and pecan pie with (pareve) chocolate gelt.? Yes, we return to calendrical normalcy, as 5775/Fall 2014 presents a more typical American-Jewish holiday arrangement. But fear thee not, as holiday bereft “Mar”Cheshvan makes its annual sojourn. There are ample opportunities to celebrate a simcha, from young families to octogenarians and everyone in between. Fresh from a wonderful Sukkot dinner (thank you Men’s Club!), we united in our inaugural Conserva-form class service with Temple Beth Shalom. We davened with the Gates of Prayer family siddur, welcomed four participating clergy, and celebrated the emerging voices of our sizable (when combined) kitah Bet class. By the time you read this, we will have shared our sacred space with Dr. Marvin Wilson and the young divinity students at Gordon College. This blessed interfaith opportunity has blossomed more than 20 years, to the point where Gordon students have attended Friday night services semi-regularly, played percussion for our Musical Shabbats, and once attended a Kol Nidre service. ditional reason to celebrate with us, like a birthday, anniversary or Bar/Bat mitzvah anniversary. We would love to save an A liyah, or even a Haftarah for you. We will also support anyone who needs to recite the Mourner’s Kaddish. The fast-moving service usually clocks in at right around 2 hours (even a longer service ends by 11:45 am), and we always enjoy a festive Shabbat lunch afterwards. Rabbi Zuker nimbly connects Torah, modern society, and even our own congregation through stories, Midrashim and remarkable insights. I would be remiss if I didn’t admit that whenever we have a large dinner on Friday night, we seldom reach a minyan Shabbat morning, which means that we do not read Torah, skip several prayers, and delete the Kaddish. That being said, we have so much to be thankful for, as our TNT community remains vibrant and vital. So many dedicate so much time and effort to make Temple Ner Tamid such a special sacred space, even during “Mar” (bitter) Cheshvan with no Thanksgivukkah in sight. I hope to celebrate with you soon. VISIT THE SISTERHOOD JUDIAC SHOP FOR ALL OF YOUR CHANUKAH NEEDS Teddy Bear Shabbat services return on the first Friday of November, and Rabbi Zuker has assembled a number of new young families to this energetic family service and dinner. (And for those who prefer the 8pm service, I will return to lead it.) And, in keeping with the theme of being--or feeling--young, I am pleased to announce the next Musical Shabbat (December 5th) will feature beloved children’s music from films spanning six decades. Matt Wulf returns to lend his brilliance to the melodic proceedings. That event will catapult us toward Chanukah, but I will save that discussion for the Kislev bulletin. But, as I have discussed in past Cheshvan bulletins, we—as a community—share a golden opportunity to redefine our spiritual focus. For those who have not had the chance to pray with us on Saturday morning for a while, I exhort you to come back and give us a try.

Sisterhood, Judy Kemp L’Shalom, Judy Kemp Men’s Club, Mark Lubarsky “Like the Energizer Bunny the Men’s Club keeps on going and going and going and here we go again” Hello everyone, We are just catching our breath from the holidays of Sukkot and Simchat Torah. Hats off to Allen Talewsky and his fantastic committee for a most enjoyable dinner and celebration of Sukkot. Everyone who attended remarked on how pleasant an evening it was. The level of energy, excitement and noise of young children’s voices was high when we rolled out the Torah for Simchat Torah and consecrated our youngest students. It was really wonderful to see the activity taking place in the Temple. My thanks go to Mel Babner for seeing that our traditional ice cream social went off without a hitch. The older students in our community began their preconfirmation and confirmation classes on September 30 th. These classes are open to students in grades 8-10. This year a new model of learning has been introduced. Students are encouraged to take their Jewish learning and experiences outside of the classroom. Using a point system, students can earn points for a variety of activities with a goal of earning at least 15 points by the end of the school year. Students can earn points by attending classes, which are held one to two times per month at TBS, as well as attending Torah Hub classes, Adult education programs, Jewish youth group activities, viewing Jewish museum exhibits and films, or reading a Jewish book. For activities such as watching movies and reading books, students must complete a one-page reflection essay. Students seem excited about the independence this model provides in guiding their Jewish education. I would also like to note that educating our educators is an important goal for Cantor Robins, Director of Education. A variety of opportunities for continuing education are available to the religious school teachers. These include speakers brought into staff meetings, as well as making teachers aware of outside conferences. A guest speaker at a recent staff meeting focused on “working with families where one parent comes from a different faith”. Upcoming speakers will discuss strategies and techniques to support teaching students with special needs. Providing continuing education to our teachers is just one example of what goes on behind the scenes to support our children’s Jewish education. Speaking of Mel, many of us traveled to Brockton on October 26th to honor our newest recipient of the New England Region Keeper of the Flame. For those of you who know Mel, this honor is well deserved. For those of you who don’t know Mel, let me share some of his TNT involvement. For the past 50 years, he has been involved in Temple activities, serving as House Chairman, on the Board of Directors, and as Shalom, Men’s Club President from 1969-1970. His initial involvement Linda Gross into Men’s Club was as a clown at children’s functions. One of Vice President his most outstanding endeavors was serving as chairman of the MAZEL TOV!
