TEMPLE NEWS
From the Rabbi………….
This year’s Passover will have an additional meaning for my family and me because just a few days after its conclusion, my son Jed
will be called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah. In thinking about what message I want to share with you in this edition of the Voice of Judea, I
can’t help but think about the connection between the moment in the Passover story when the Israelites held the first seder and the meaning
behind becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
The first seder was actually held the night before the Israelites left Egypt, raising the question, what was the function of this seder?
Think about it…every seder after that very first one has focused in on celebrating how G-d freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. But
during that first seder they were still in Egypt and they were not yet freed from slavery.
The following is my own interpretation of what happened during that first seder, what its function was, and what it can teach bar
and bat mitzvah students.
G-d spoke to the Israelites on that last night in Egypt and told them to get prepared for the next phase of their lives (which happens
to be exactly what I tell every Bar or Bat Mitzvah student.) They were also told to study Hebrew prayers in order to be able to lead a service
called a seder, after which there would be an elaborate meal (also sounds very similar!) But mostly, they were told that this seder was a way
of preparing them to be out in the real world and to one day be responsible to carry on the Jewish traditions.
Then G-d told them to sit around one long table (actually made up of several tables forming the shape of a rectangle or an “L”, even
if some of the tables were slightly different heights). They should sit as close to one another as possible on chairs that are only used once a
year because they are so uncomfortable. They were told to sing songs that only some people knew all the words to but most everyone knew
the chorus (like - eelu something something anu - dayenu!). They were told to dip foods into various ‘dips’ in order to laugh at each other as
they turn beet red with eyes tearing and nose running from hot and spicy horseradish dip. And to notice the smiles as they taste the sweet
charoset dip. G-d also thought it would be a good idea to have them bake hard, crispy, flat bread that when eaten would leave tiny sharp
shards in the pages of their little booklets for years and years to come.
G-d said they would need to eat this hard flat bread for 7 straight days. The people actually asked, “Wont we get sick of it?” G-d answered,
“Yes, by the 5th day of the holiday you will be sick of it, but don’t worry about that. By the next Passover, you will have forgotten all about the
bland taste and effects it has on clogging up your digestive system. In fact,” God went on, “as each new Passover arrives, you will look
forward to it with great eagerness: to buttered matzah, matzah kugel, matzah pizza and matzah brei!” Finally, God instructed the Israelites
to make delicious foods whose taste and aroma would bring back warm memories of grandmas and great-grandmas, some of whom they may
not have ever met.
The Israelites said, “How are we going to do all of this? What if we mess it up?” It’s too much for us to handle! That’s when G-d said
to them, “Do the best you can. If you don’t do perfectly, that’s fine. If you mess up, that’s fine too.” Then God said these incredible words,
“This first service is not the most important one – the second one is! “ And even more important is the third and then the fourth and so on.
When you continue practicing these traditions year after year, I will know that this is part of your soul.
And the people did (or tried to do) exactly as G-d asked of them on that first seder. They did great (even if there were some messups.) But it wasn’t untll the next year, when the Israelites chose to celebrate these traditions on their own, that G-d became truly happy. The
end.
The function of that first seder is exactly like the function of the Bar or Bat mitzvah: it is an important first step, but it is the next
steps that are most important.
Dear Jed,
Your mom and I love you very much. You make us proud every day. Please know that your Bar Mitzvah is the first step along the
path into your Jewish adulthood. We hope and pray that you will always remember the good feelings of the hard work you put into your bar
mitzvah, the warm feelings of being surrounded closely by family and friends, and the eternal feelings of Jewish traditions in your heart. But
most importantly, we look forward to this day leaving its mark on your soul and watching you take the next Jewish steps that you have chosen
on your own. Mazel Tov! We love you.
Mom and Dad
B’Shalom,
Rabbi Todd Chizner

Cantor’s Song
I would like to share with you that I would like there to be a series on the history of the Cantorate and Cantorial
music. Wikipedia states that the Cantor is a trained musician who leads a congregation in music and prayer. The
explanation goes on to state that even in ancient times, the chief qualification of the cantor, in addition to
knowledge of Biblical and liturgical literature, as well as the prayer motifs, was a pleasant voice and artistic
delivery.
In early times, stated in materials from the 13th century, the Hazzan must, in addition to having a pleasing voice
and appearance, have a long, flowing beard and be married with children.
The job description has changed in many ways, as you can see, as now it is quite common for a woman to be a
cantor as well as a rabbi.
Community prayer has ancient roots. By the time of the Hasmoneans, (the middle of the 2nd century B.C.E.) we
first encounter the term, which later becomes the official title of Cantor. It probably came from the Aramaic
word, Hazzanu, meaning overseer. Until the 6th century, volunteers would function as leaders of the prayer
service. Such a volunteer was called a “Shiliach Tzibbor,” a messenger of the people. The Hazzan was to pray for
those who did not know how to pray and also to pray as a representative of the community. At this time in
history it was forbidden to write down the prayers, and every part of the prayer service was read and chanted
strictly by memory. Leading services required great skill, and as the number of prayers increased and as the
prayer service evolved, it became more and more difficult. Honor guards who served as prompters stood on
either side of the Hazzan and even created an elaborate system of hand signals to cue the prayer leader.
By the 6th century, two major events led to the development of the professional Shiliach Tzibbor. Firstly, Jewish
learning and familiarity with the Hebrew language was a rarity. Secondly, the cultivation of a new and expanded
service required a professional who could read and chant fluently--especially true on the holidays and Day of
Atonement.
Leading services and officiating on behalf of an entire congregation is a great honor, and I am proud to serve my
congregation, Temple Judea.
To be continued…
B’shira, (in song)
Cantor Abbe Sher

Message from the President
In March, we celebrate one of Judaism's most dramatic and fun-filled holidays, Purim. Think of it: when else can you dress
up in a costume, eat doughy triangles filled with prunes and poppy seeds, yell in the sanctuary, twist loud noise makers, and
be encouraged to do so by our Rabbi and Cantor? Some people have tried to reduce the message of this holiday into a cute
“They tried to kill us, we won, let's eat”, but of course it is more, as told to us in the “Megillah”, the story of Esther, set in
Persia 2300+ years ago. King Achashverosh, being dismayed by the refusal of his wife to follow his orders, replaces her
with a new queen, Esther, who, unknown to him, is a Jewess. Esther's uncle, Mordechai, the leader of the Jews, uncovers a
plot to assassinate the king and tells his niece. However, his good deed is not at that time relayed to Achashverosh. In the
meantime, the evil Haman, second in command, decrees that all who come before him must bow in deference to his title, and
everyone does, except for Mordechai. Enraged at this defiance, and on learning that the lawbreaker is a Jew, Haman directs
that all Jews in the kingdom must be killed, and through trickery, gets the king’s approval. However, ultimately it becomes
known that both Mordechai saved the king’s life and that Esther is Jewish, and upon realizing that Haman planned on killing
all of those who shared in his wife’s heritage and traditions, Achashverosh orders that Haman be executed instead. Thus,
Jewish life has continued to the present.
One of the lessons we can learn from Megillat Esther is that life’s challenges can work out for the best, because what appears
as obstacles are really opportunities to develop ourselves for the better. We can extend that to the challenges that we face
here at Temple Judea, in particular, the need to bring in new people to see what we have to offer and ultimately increase our
membership. Purim is a holiday that celebrates family and friends. We must try and extend ourselves to reach out to others,
to people who we don’t know as well or maybe not at all, and invite them to join us in our celebrations - to become part of
our family and home. Reach out to those in your neighborhoods who are looking to relocate their membership; or in your
children’s classes to new students who have not yet joined a temple. Invite them to a Sabbath service; tell them about
special services devoted to the students. Let people know about our early Friday night services that begin with wine &
cheese at 6:00 p.m., and are over at 7:30 so they can continue on with family dinners and get togethers. Make it known that
Temple Judea is more than a House of Worship, it is a Home!
President’s Puzzle: First, the answer to the last one: a word, standing alone, that denotes something cannot be found, but
when split into two words shows it is right before you: NOWHERE becomes NOW HERE. Okay, the new one:
Haman has stolen the proof Mordechai has showing his betrayal to the king and put it in one of four locked boxes. The boxes
are numbered from 1,2,3,4 in that order. There are four different keys that each has their own color. Use the clues below to
figure out which key goes in which box and to find the box where proof is being kept:
1. The green key goes to the third or fourth box
2. The proof is to the left of the fourth box
3. The proof is to the right of the first box
4. The yellow key is to the left of the wig
5. The blue key is to the right of the yellow key and to the left of the green key
6. The red key goes to the first box.
IN ADDITION…HAVE A WONDERFUL PASSOVER AND JOIN US FOR THE 2ND SEDER!!!
B’Shalom,
Tod Groman

SISTERHOOD OF WRJ NEWS
Happiest of spring to all! You might wonder how I can think of spring while looking at the frozen tundra
that is my backyard, covered in snow and ice, while we sit chilled to the bone by the arctic blast that has
hit New York? Well it is easy when one is warmed by the thoughts of our upcoming holidays of Purim and
then Passover. Warm Hamantashen and thoughts of Matzah Brei dance in my head, and I relish in the
thoughts that the rejuvenation of spring lies ahead.
Here is what we are doing in Sisterhood. We are in the midst of putting together our Purim packages. They
are filled with delicious sweet treats. If anyone is available to help with the packaging, please contact Helen
Weinstein at: [email protected] . We will be assembling on March 11th at 9:30am. Please stop by the
temple anytime that day to help. It’s a lot of fun! Did you know that Sisterhood donates some of the Purim
packages to Jewish servicemen and women overseas? With all of our efforts this mitzvah can be
accomplished.
WRJ’s annual Rummage Sale and Vintage Boutique is on Sunday, March 30th from noon-4:00pm and on
Monday, March 31st from 10am –noon. What a great way to Spring clean! Please look in your closets for
gently used and cleaned clothing and housewares that you can donate. Please drop them off at the Temple
anytime until March 27th. Volunteers are needed to put this event together. Please email Barbara Newmark
at: [email protected].
Please save Friday, March 21st for our annual Sisterhood Shabbat. More information to follow.
WRJ has ongoing programs that we would love to see you attend. What about our monthly book club? We
have one in the morning and one at night to accommodate everyone’s schedule. This is listed on our
website so please check regularly for the dates. Please try to attend our Trustees meetings. On March 4th at
6:30 pm is a Trustees dinner and on April 8th at 6:30 pm a Trustees planning meeting. All Sisterhood
members are invited. If you can attend, please RSVP to me. I would love to hear from you with any
suggestions for future programs or events. Please email me at: [email protected].
As many of you know, I attended an amazing Biennial conference in San Diego. My heartfelt thanks to you,
the Sisterhood, for helping provide me with the opportunity to attend. I learned so much over the three
days and, most importantly, I walked away with the knowledge that our Sisterhood is truly special. Our
members are active and passionate. I participated in numerous workshops with women from around the
country. This shared experience confirmed that we are part of a great Temple with supportive clergy and
lay leaders. We should all feel so blessed and inspired.
From the bottom of my heart I thank you, the Sisterhood, for this spiritual and incredible opportunity.
Please enjoy the gift of the commemorative posters as my way of thanking you and acknowledging the 100
years of WRJ. I hope that when you look at them you will be as inspired. I look forward to moving into the
future with you.
To everyone, I wish a Happy Purim and Happy Pesach.
B’Shalom,
Kathi Kafka
President of the Sisterhood of WRJ

The Greatest Generation of Temple Judea of Manhasset is proud to welcome
Prof. Michael D’Innocenzo
Sunday, April 13, 2014, 2-4 p.m.
There is no doubt that we are in the midst of an Age Wave
Why do more people over 65 see a bigger generation gap now than was felt during the radical 1960s?
Will there ever be an AAYP (American Association of Young People) to compete with the AARP?
For Millennials (18-29 year olds): Is there more gender equality? Is Facebook making people lonely? Is college the new “Bubble”? Is study abroad
not a luxury, but a necessity?
For Elders (Greatest Generation): is 80 the new 50? More older women with younger men?
The “oldest old”, people over 100, are now the fastest growing segment of the US population. What are the challenges of housing, health, family
ties, dying (Bill Moyers documentary: “On Our Own Terms”)?
New Studies: from Harvard: Aging Well: Surprising Guideposts to a Happier Life and “Younger Next Year” The Longevity Project: How to
Keep Going and Going.
In addressing the above questions, Dr. D’Innocenzo will compare values (race, religion, marriage), experiences (drinking, sex,
technology) and politics of Elders (Greatest Generation) with Millenials (18-29 years olds).
Prof. D”Innocenzo has taught history at Hofstra University for 52 years. He was recognized for his academic work when the
American Historical Association awarded him the Eugene Asher Distinguished Teaching Award for his outstanding teaching of
history at colleges and universities.

SOCIAL ACTION NEWS
SOCIAL ACTION NEWS
During January and February, our synagogue collected canned tuna for Hatzilu, the Kosher Food Pantry on Long
Island. As part of a TANS project involving other North Shore temples and the JCC, we planned to gather at the Sid
Jacobson JCC on Sunday, March 2 from 1:00 to 3:30 to complete our “PACK IT UP FOR PURIM” project. Each temple
will bring the different foods they collected and we will fill grocery bags with the non-perishable food. In addition,
there is an art project planned for the children, and a documentary will be screened to educate us about the problem
of hunger. We are hoping to have volunteers participate in this event and transport the food to Hatzilu and to help
pack the pantry shelves. This is a great hands-on family activity.
A TOWEL DRIVE FOR THE INN is taking place NOW! The INN hopes to collect 10,000 towels for their shower
facilities at the Mary Brennan INN. They are looking for new and gently used towels. Please drop off your donations
in the collection bin in the temple lobby by March 7th.
In April, we will participate in a TANS Passover Project in conjunction with the Great Neck Hunger Initiative.
Volunteers are needed on April 10 to deliver the food to local needy individuals and families. Please contact the
Social Action Committee if you would like to participate (Alicia Munves 516-627-5998 or Rita Marcus at
[email protected].) In addition, we will be packing our usual Passover Food Baskets for our annual Passover
Food Project. Religious school students will create holiday cards to be included in the baskets.
April is also the month of our Prom Dress Drive. We will be collecting gently used party dresses, shoes, evening bags
and other accessories, as well as new make-up samples to be distributed at the “shopping” event for needy Long
Island teenagers. Please go through your closets and set aside these items so that these girls can attend their high
school proms.
The Lone Soldier Project continues with our temple having been assigned a new Lone Soldier from the New York
area. He currently is in Israel serving with the Israeli Defense Forces. Our religious school students are writing him
letters, and we will send him a “Care” package to let him know that we support his efforts to help Israel.

See what is happening in Temple Judea’s Religious School this year!
The following report was given at the congregational meeting in January.
We have had a busy few months in the Religious School. There is a wonderful positive feeling here
and we are introducing innovations that have been well-received. Following is a list of the highlights
of our highlights to date:
✦ Grades 3 - 6
◦ The curriculum has been revised for each grade. A "Journeys" piece has been added to each grade,
offering students opportunities to reflect and personalize their learning.
◦ An Open House in October provided parents with the opportunity to meet their child's teacher,
Lauren, and the clergy.
◦ We partnered with Social Action on the September Car Wash & Social Action Weekend.
◦ Our 6th graders wrote letters to our lone soldier; we will soon write more letters to our new lone
soldier.
◦ Our 3rd - 6th grade students participated in the Torah Dedication, after learning about how Torahs are written.
✦Technology
We purchased 8 iPads for the students to use. Every class has used them. Some classes use Hebrew
apps, some classes use them to listen to the prayers that are on our website, and some classes use them
for research. The students LOVE using them.
We have updated the school pages, calendars and links on the website. The pages feature photos of
school events.
✦ Tefillah/Worship Services
◦ Every Wednesday, students participate in worship led by Rabbi & Cantor. At these services, we introduce a "Hebrew
word of the week."
◦ Our Committee, in conjunction with the Ritual Committee, has instituted a service attendance requirement. Students have
been asked to attend the same number of services as their grade. Students who attend more than that number, or students
in grades 8 and above who attend, will be honored as part of the "Rabbi’s Honor Roll."
◦ Approximately once a month, there is a service led by our students that takes place Friday at 7 pm. At our February 7
service, the 3rd & 4th graders will lead the service and will be presented with their own copies of Mishkan Tefillah,
provided by Brotherhood & WRJ Sisterhood. The students' books will have
personalized covers that they designed and letters from their parents inserted into the
books.
◦ We are working to get families to participate in a Shabbat Dinner at 6 pm. We have
changed the food offerings and price to encourage participation.
◦ At Simchat Torah services, we honored all of our 3rd & 4th grade students.
✦ Family Programming/Parent Involvement
◦ Before the start of the year, Lauren reached out to all school families to say hello and
solicit feedback.
◦ Since the school year began, Lauren has been sending home regular emails to keep
parents informed of what is happening in classes.
◦ In November, families came together to build a LEGO menorah as part of our Chanukah
celebration. We ended the event with havdalah, Chanukah songs and latkes.
◦ Grade 5 families met for a family session exploring personal connections to Israel Grade 3 & 4 families met to learn
about the prayers in our service and to design prayerbook covers. Grade 6 families will soon meet to explore the
significance of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah process for their family.
◦ This past Shabbat, for Shabbat Shebang, families asked came to school on Saturday afternoon to learn, participate in
tikkun olam, and participate in a havdalah service. This program took place in lieu of Sunday classes. There is a second
Shabbat Shebang scheduled for March.
◦ We are looking forward to our Purim celebration which will be an interactive game show, designed to engage all of our
students.

Our Education Committee
We have developed a core group of congregants who have been meeting monthly. Our Committee is open to all
congregants and welcomes new members.
◦ Our committee has been exploring whether we want to change/adapt our educational model. Lauren attended the URJ
Biennial in December where she learned about other congregations who have introduced new models. Members of the
committee have interviewed directors from other schools who have alternative educational models. We are in the process
of sharing the ideas we gleaned from these interviews and discussing our hopes for the future of our school. Eventually,
the committee will look at the pieces of these programs to see if any if them can be adapted for use at Temple Judea.
◦
✦ Grade 7
Our Pre-Mitzvah Hebrew class continues to provide an opportunity for students to sharpen their
decoding skills as they prepare to lead the congregation at Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
students and parents, participated in a unit of Holocaust Study with Irving Roth.
A number of survivors spoke to the group. The families had the chance to use the Holocaust
Resource Center.
Our 7th graders have participated in two special programs with our teens. In November, they went
to a pre-screening of the movie "The Hunger Games," organized by NFTY, BBYO and Island
Harvest.
This month, the students visited the Soup Kitchen at the Reform seminary in
NYC, Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion.
✦ Teen Programs
◦ Our teens participated in the trips listed above: "The Hunger Games" and the Soup Kitchen at
HUC-JIR. These trips have been developed as part of our new teen initiative, Teen Mitzvah Corps.
Through the Mitzvah Corps, teens learn about Jewish values and tikkun olam during class time,
they participate in a tikkun olam trip, and then they journal their experience as a reflection activity.
Future trips include the INN in Hempstead and DOROT in New York City. We received a grant
from The Jewish Education Project for $1000 to help support this educational programming.
◦ We have connected with NFTY for some of these programs. In November, we hosted Mike Fuld,
Regional Director of Youth Engagement for NFTY-NAR, and some teen members of the NFTY
board. We are hoping to build connection with NFTY and eventually bring a youth program to Temple Judea.
◦ The Board approved opening up our teen program participation to local area students whose families belong to other
congregations. The fees that these students would pay for these programs would be set at a higher percentage than the
fees that Temple Judea members pay.
✦ Camp
◦ Temple Judea was selected as one of 25 congregations nationwide to participate in a URJ Camp Service Corps Program. We
are the only congregation on Long Island to be selected. As part of this program, we have been assigned a Service Corps
Fellow, Stefanie Abbot, who works with us 4 hours per week to build participation in URJ Camp programs and bring campinspired learning to our school. Most recently, Stefanie led a camp-style scavenger hunt for our school Tu B'Shevat
Celebration. The Service Corps program also provides us with $2500 in camperships and $1000 in program funds.
◦ This month, we held a Camp Shabbat service, in which we used visual tefillah from camp and camp tunes to welcome
Shabbat. Debby Shriber, director of URJ Crane Lake Camp, spoke at the service to families interested in sending their
children to camp.
✦ Building Towards the Future
◦ The clergy and Lauren prepared a Shalom Shabbat program for children ages 4-7. We promoted the program at Children's
High Holy Day services, through the newspaper, and through local stores. It did not attract young families so we are
looking for new ways to bring in unaffiliated families with young children.
◦ We have some new families who have connected with us and are interested in a K-2 mixed age class for next year. We
will invite these families to events through the spring and will begin the class sooner if they are interested.
◦ We are working with membership to bring in new school families. We participated in book readings at Zion Lion &
Barnes & Noble and hope to continue offering book readings at Barnes & Noble throughout the Spring.
◦ We continue to work with publicity to share news of school events and upcoming programs with the community.
Respectfully Submitted,
Lauren Resnikoff, Religious School Director

Together, we learned about doing mitzvot to help make the world a a better place. we
collected towels and toiletries for the INN, made recycled, plantable paper, made dog
biscuits that were donated to a local animal rescue, and made pillows that were donated to
a local rehabilitation center.

Holocaust Resource Center Update
On the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27, 2014, masses of French protesters marched down a
Paris thoroughfare chanting openly anti-Semitic slogans and calling on Jews to get out of France.
Chants included "Jews, France is not yours!" "Jews out of France" and "The story of the gas chambers is bull***!" At one
point, in a show of raw, seething hatred, the crowd simply spits out the word "Jew, Jew, Jew!"
Many of the marchers were seen giving the "quenelle" inverted Nazi salute popularized by anti-Semitic comedian
Dieudonne. The gesture is seen as a way for anti-Semites to give a Nazi salute without incurring the wrath of authorities although one demonstrator was seen giving a full-on Nazi salute as well.
Dieudonne and some of his supporters claim that the “quenelle” is simply an innocent "up yours" or "anti-establishment"
gesture, but it has been adopted by a vast range of anti-Semites, from the far-right to Muslim extremists, many of whom post
online pictures of themselves making the salute in front of sensitive sites such as Holocaust memorials, synagogues, and
even the school in Toulouse at which an Islamist gunman murdered a rabbi and three Jewish children.
Anti-hate groups have pointed out that Dieudonne's "quenelle" is anything but generic, having been embraced by antiSemitic groups in France. Police meanwhile announced they had charged a cartoonist Noel Gerard, also known as "Joe the
Crow," for circulating on the Internet a photograph of a person performing the quenelle outside the Jewish school in
Toulouse. Gerard was charged with incitement to racial hatred.
Apart from the quenelle gestures, the marchers were singing a song mocking the Holocaust composed by Dieudonne,
entitled "Shoananas". The song is yet another masterful attempt by Dieudonne to trivialize and legitimize anti-Semitism; it is
a play on the Hebrew word for the Holocaust (Shoah) and the French word for pineapple (ananas).
More than 5,000 tickets have been sold for the opening night of Dieudonne’s tour. Dieudonne, who has been widely
accused of promoting anti-Semitism, already has a string of convictions for hate speech and other related offenses. The
French Union of Jewish Students (UEJF) began a legal action aimed at forcing Dieudonne to withdraw one of his videos
from YouTube. The UEJF said sections of the performance on the film breached France's laws on incitement to racial
hatred, racial defamation and denial of the Holocaust.
France's Jewish community - the third largest in the world (after Israel and the US) is seeing an unprecedented exodus. The
continuing tide of anti-Semitism has triggered preparations in Israel for an influx of “olim” (immigrants) from France. A
recent poll by the EU's Fundamental Rights Agency recorded that 40% of French Jews fear to be publicly identified as Jews.
Anti-Semitism hit the streets of France over the weekend of January 25, 2014 when large swastikas were scrawled on a
kosher pizzeria in a northern suburb of Paris. The swastikas were reportedly spray-painted Saturday on the shop display of
the B’Paradise pizzeria in Sarcelles, home to approximately 60,000 Jews.The owner of the pizzeria said he found the
swastikas on Monday, upon returning to work after the weekend. Police are currently investigating the incident and
attempting to find the perpetrators.
Despite police assurances that they would reinforce the security in Jewish areas, anti-Semitic incidents remain commonplace
in France. Anti-Semitism has been skyrocketing in France. One report revealed that anti-Semitic incidents rose 58% in 2012.
Concerns have run so high that the Israeli government recently announced a program to help French Jews emigrate to Israel
after reports have surfaced showing a growing exodus of Jews from France to other Western countries.
The façade of anti-Israel/anti-Zionism in France has been uncovered: it’s nothing but repackaged, old-fashioned antiSemitism by the right wing and left wing united with fundamental Islam. "kill a Zionist".

and ping-pong. The children decorated planters in honor of the holiday, and donations were collected to
plant 6 trees in Israel through the Jewish National Fund. Rabbi Chizner told the children about the
holiday that celebrates the harvest, and he and Cantor Sher led the group in special blessings. Thanks to all
who participated in this great mitzvah, with special thanks to our Educational Director, Lauren Resnikoff;

Religious School will do the same. We will always try to make any decisions to cancel Religious School due to inclement weather as
early as possible during the given day. Announcements regarding these cancellations will be on the following TV/radio Stations:
 News 12 Long Island (Cablevision)
 WINS (AM 1010)
 WCBS (AM 880)
Announcements will also be posted on the Temple Judea website: www.temple-judea.com
In the event of cancellations of other programs for either weather related or other reasons, an e-mail will be sent to advise you.
If you have not supplied the office with your family’s e-mail addresses, please do so now.
