TBS Opens Exploratorium<br />

October 10 was an exciting day at the TBS<br />

Preschool as Lindsay and Brent Cohen cut the ribbon<br />

to officially open the new Zalman Beigel Garden<br />

State Discovery Museum Exploratorium. Created in<br />

memory of their and Jordyn Cohen’s Sabba, Zalman<br />

Beigel, the Exploratorium will now be a permanent<br />

part of the curriculum of the TBS Preschool and<br />

Kindergarten, with live<br />

animals, plants,<br />

electronic circuitry and<br />

a floor to ceiling chalk<br />

board for young<br />

scientists to develop<br />

their experiments. Mr.<br />

Beigel adored children<br />

and science, so the<br />

Exploratorium was<br />

created to be a living<br />

memory to him.<br />

On Yom Kippur we considered a riddle posed by<br />

Rabbi Harold Kushner: In November, we get to do<br />

something we have always wanted to do, perhaps<br />

even prayed to be able to do, and most of us will<br />

sleep right through it. Remember the answer? On<br />

November 4, we will turn the clocks back and get<br />

to live one hour of our lives over again. And yes,<br />

most of us will sleep right through it.<br />

November 4th is also the anniversary of the<br />

assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. What would we<br />

give to turn the clock back for that one hour? Can’t<br />

do it. But his death would be even more tragic if the<br />

assassin succeeded in killing Rabin’s vision of<br />

peace, and that vision of the future can only come<br />

about if we continue to believe in it and support<br />

Israel. You all know how to do that: AIPAC, Israel<br />

Bonds, Visit.<br />

The meaning of the past is indeed determined by<br />

the future. A lot happened in the month of<br />

November.<br />

November 2nd marks the 90th anniversary of the<br />

Balfour Declaration. In his book, Jewish Literacy,<br />

Joseph Telushkin says that the issuing of the<br />

Balfour Declaration “may well have been in its time<br />

By the time you read this, the High Holy Day<br />

services will be a memory, but, hopefully, a great<br />

memory. I think I speak for the majority of the<br />

congregation when I say that this year’s services<br />

were remarkable. If I had a shekel for every<br />

congregant who came up to me and remarked<br />

positively on our Rabbis, Cantor and the new<br />

machzorim, we would never have to increase<br />

dues.<br />

Todah Rabah to Rabbi Lindemann, Rabbi<br />

Levenson, Rabbi Peltz, Cantor Cohen and the<br />

entire TBS staff, led by Eric Jacobs.<br />

You may not realize the effort that goes into<br />

preparing for over 8,000 people walking through<br />

the doors within a ten-day period, but the office<br />

does. After many weeks of working “half” days<br />

(8:00 am to 8:00 pm), on behalf of the entire<br />

congregation, thank you for everything. The extra<br />

effort and time put in by everyone from the<br />

executive director to the maintenance staff is<br />

appreciated. I would also like to thank Sue K.<br />

Rabbi’s Message<br />

Answering the Riddle<br />

President’s Message<br />

the happiest event in Jewish life since the<br />

beginning of the Common Era.” It was approved<br />

by the British Cabinet and then written in the<br />

form of a letter to Lord Rothschild, president of<br />

the British Zionist Federation: “His Majesty’s<br />

Government view with favor the establishment in<br />

Palestine of a national home for the Jewish<br />

people and will use their best endeavors to<br />

facilitate the achievement of this object…” The<br />

Balfour Declaration galvanized Jewish support<br />

for the British War effort against Turkey and the<br />

creation of the British Mandate over Palestine.<br />

Later, in 1939, the British tried to turn the clock<br />

back with the White Paper: “His Majesty’s<br />

Government now declare unequivocally that it is<br />

not part of their policy that Palestine should<br />

become a Jewish state…” But, in this case, the<br />

League of Nations and the Jewish people would<br />

not allow the future to change the past. The<br />

British were forced to make good on the Balfour<br />

Declaration.<br />

The future made the promise of the past come<br />

true. November 29th marks the 60th anniversary<br />

(Continued on page 11)<br />

Levine and the entire ritual committee, especially<br />

Alvin Stern. Without their preparation and<br />

knowledge, the services would not have been so<br />

seamless. Yasher Kochachem.<br />

On another note, remember our new gift card<br />

program which acts as a fundraiser for TBS. Over<br />

40 merchants will donate between 4% and 15% of<br />

the proceeds of the cards we sell. Consider using<br />

them for your regular shopping needs or when<br />

buying gifts. Check our website for more details:<br />

www.tbsonline.org, or call the office at 751-6663.<br />

Please save the dates Friday, November 16<br />

through Sunday, November 18, as we host our<br />

Annual Scholar-in-Residence Weekend, starting<br />

with a Chai celebration Shabbat Family Dinner on<br />

Friday, November 16. The dinner will be followed<br />

by a presentation by Joel Lurie Grishaver, titled, “It<br />

Only Takes Four Stories to be Jewish.” Joel Lurie<br />

Grishaver will be with us the following two days<br />

when he will visit with both students and<br />

HAZAK/Senior Chaverim<br />

Thank you for making our<br />

September meeting a great<br />

success. We met in our<br />

beautifully decorated Sukkah<br />

where all of our officers were<br />

introduced. Then, our new and<br />

accomplished Rabbi Micah<br />

Peltz gave us an understanding<br />

of what it was like to grow up<br />

as a committed Jew in the<br />

Midwest. Not easy. Luckily for<br />

us, he grew up with lots of<br />

experience at Camp Ramah<br />

where he met his wife, Rachel.<br />

Rabbi Peltz was forthright and<br />

charming.<br />

Since Rachel attended<br />

Columbia University, Rabbi<br />

Peltz was asked how he felt<br />

about the present situation at<br />

the university. Rabbi Peltz<br />

answered that he knew the<br />

president of Columbia when he<br />

had him as a professor at the<br />

University of Michigan. He<br />

respected him as a teacher of<br />

law whose main sphere of<br />

interest was the First<br />

Amendment, that of Freedom<br />

of Speech. Without siding with<br />

him, Rabbi Peltz made us<br />

understand that Freedom of<br />

Speech was Bollinger’s main<br />

criteria for permitting<br />

Ahmadinejad to address the<br />

student body.<br />

Our November meeting will<br />

feature Norman Rosen the<br />

Magician. He is not to be<br />

confused<br />

with our<br />

member<br />

of the<br />

same<br />

name. Our<br />

entertainer<br />

From the Executive Director<br />

Having just finished my “rookie” year dealing with High Holy Day<br />

logistics, an internet survey on seating arrangements really rings true.<br />

Some of the sample questions (which I may incorporate into our form<br />

next year) are as follows:<br />

1. I would prefer to sit in<br />

the (check one):<br />

Talking Section<br />

No Talking Section<br />

2. I want a seat located (in order of<br />

preference):<br />

Near the bathroom<br />

Where no one on the Bimah will<br />

hear me talking during services<br />

Where no one will see me sleeping<br />

This phrase: “The soul is yours and<br />

the body is your doing” chanted so<br />

beautifully by Cantor Jen Cohen and<br />

our choir during the Slihot service, still<br />

echoes in my head. It has a beautiful<br />

tune and it also has a great meaning<br />

when it comes to Jewish education.<br />

Judaism in general, and rituals especially, put<br />

great emphasis on the connection between the<br />

physical and spiritual. Reaching a spiritual level is<br />

proceeded often by a physical act. Putting on a tallit<br />

or washing our hands, among other things,<br />

increases the spiritual level of the prayer or the<br />

blessing respectfully.<br />

Similarly, as we plan for the education of our<br />

next Jewish generation, we want to make sure it<br />

will be able to reach its “spiritual” level. We would<br />

like our students, as they grow up, to reach a level<br />

where they will be able to understand the mission<br />

as well as the vision that is required of members of<br />

the Jewish people. A lot of planning, therefore,<br />

goes into the setting of the “physical” aspect of that<br />

process.<br />

New teachers have joined our staff. We welcome<br />

Debbie Ravitz, Hertzel Jacoby and Lori Miller in<br />

the Elementary School, and Mark Cohen, Matt<br />

Kanoff, Michael Kelberg and Michael Dickerman<br />

in the High School. Rabbi Micah Peltz and Jen<br />

Cohen also are part of our school staff, as well as<br />

Tamar Barkan-Shamir who joins us as a teacher<br />

and as a great assistant to me with the elementary<br />

and preschool duties.<br />

Take a look at the new and continuing facets of<br />

our school:<br />

Israel@60: Celebrating Israel’s important events<br />

have always been part of our program. This year as<br />

the country is marking its 60th birthday, we will be<br />

“physically” visiting Israel. Our teachers and our<br />

Confirmation Class will be traveling to Israel. Our<br />

students back at home will join the experience<br />

through connections and a variety of activities<br />

throughout the year.<br />

Curriculum: Both the High School and<br />

Elementary School’s curricula were revised this<br />

year. Emphasis has been given to Hebrew<br />

immersion as well as including more Hebrew at the<br />

High School level.<br />

Shabbat Services: 98% of our<br />

students fulfilled the Shabbat<br />

attendance requirement last year.<br />

The services led by Harriet Baker,<br />

Claire Spechler and Jane<br />

Lindemann give our students the<br />

“physical” tools for a spiritual ascend. Their<br />

reading practices in class come to life at those<br />

services.<br />

Activities such as music, library, computers,<br />

field trips, Mitzvah projects, assemblies continue<br />

to enhance our program.<br />

The chanting is followed by :<br />

“lkng kg vxuj vxuj”—”Watch over your<br />

action (your doing).”<br />

This, in Jewish education, would correspond to<br />

the partnership we have with our parents. A<br />

partnership in which emphasis is not given to<br />

complaints and protests but rather to a yen for<br />

providing the best Jewish education for our<br />

children. While our Open School Week in the<br />

Elementary School is December 2, 2007, keep in<br />

mind that our doors are always open for your<br />

visits, inquiries and suggestions. Attending our<br />

family programs is an important “physical” proof<br />

for the existence of that partnership.<br />

We once again welcome the new families who<br />

joined our school, as well as the returning<br />

students to our BeST program.<br />

The fall is always the start of school for our<br />

children. Celebrating and learning about the High<br />

Holy Days in the beginning of each school year not<br />

only allows children to internalize life long<br />

traditions, it also establishes a momentum for the<br />

rest of the year.<br />

During Rosh Hashanah, the children dipped<br />

apples in delicious sweet honey. Before Yom<br />

Kippur, they read and sang tunes about “Jonah and<br />

the Whale.” The children ate snacks in the Sukkah<br />

and went to local farms to pick apples and<br />

pumpkins. They made flags for Simchat Torah and<br />

marched through the halls singing, “Torah, Torah,<br />

Torah...Torah, Torah, Torah...Torah Tzeva lanu<br />

Moshe!”<br />

The 3s and 4s went with Rabbis Lindemann,<br />

Levenson and Peltz to the main sanctuary and were<br />

in awe standing on the Bimah as the Rabbi opened<br />

a Torah. These are the traditions in our preschool<br />

during the High Holy Days. These memories will<br />

lay the foundations for our children to be active,<br />

Jewish adults.<br />

We also look forward to new and exciting<br />

beginnings in each new year. The children meet<br />

new teachers, make new friends and participate in<br />

new activities. And here’s more exciting news:<br />

The opening of the Zalman Beigel<br />

Exploratorium took place on October 10, and<br />

what a beautiful morning it was! Now in full<br />

swing, it is providing our preschoolers with a<br />

hands-on science room where they can<br />

inquire, question and investigate as young<br />

scientists.<br />

Our HSA is coordinating the Market Place<br />

Craft Fair, with over 60 vendors displaying<br />

and selling fine giftware, crafts and jewelry.<br />

HEY! With the High Holy Days and Sukkot<br />

behind us, we know that the USY year is officially<br />

in full swing. We were glad to see so many new<br />

faces at our Kick-Off Mini-Golf Event, and as the<br />

seasons turn, we look ahead to even more fun.<br />

Mizrach is once again headed to the Big Apple.<br />

On Thursday, November 8 (NJEA Weekend),<br />

we’ll be seeing “Wicked!” If you haven’t gotten<br />

your USY Membership Form yet, please be sure<br />

to contact me. There is no time to delay!<br />

Over 350 TBS children,<br />

parents and staff enjoyed a day of<br />

fun-filled Sukkot activities at the<br />

JCC Camps at Medford on<br />

September 30. It was the Sukkot<br />

Family Festival made possible by<br />

the TBS Endowment Fund.<br />

We all enjoyed Israel dancing<br />

and DJ Music by Brett Axler, DJ<br />

extraordinaire of Michael Lazar<br />

Entertainment, plus we created<br />

decorations to hang in our “Kefli<br />

Sukkah.” Families participated in<br />

fruit smelling, finding the<br />

Ushpizin, mixing up a “Lulav<br />

Shake,” making a spicy<br />

pomander, searching for the Four<br />

Species in our Scavenger Hunt,<br />

fishing, boating and sports topped<br />

off by a delicious BBQ.<br />

A special Todah Rabah to the<br />

Religious School faculty and staff<br />

for all of their help in making the<br />

event such a huge success!<br />

So, regardless of where you wound up sitting, I<br />

hope that the High Holy Day services proved to<br />

be very positive for you and your family.<br />

What I never realized, even when I was<br />

president of TBS years ago, was the incredible<br />

amount of work that occurs for a 3-4 month<br />

period to prepare for a few weeks of concentrated<br />

services time. I want to thank the entire Temple<br />

Beth Sholom staff who worked diligently and<br />

tirelessly behind the scenes to try to bring you,<br />

our “customers” as stress-free a High Holy Day<br />

experience as possible.<br />

We’ll do better next year and hopefully even<br />

better the year after that. We’ve learned where the<br />

new Membership/Seating Packet instructions and<br />

forms were unclear and we’ll improve them.<br />

We’ve learned that some small number of our<br />

members never read anything we send out and<br />

assume that everything is always the way it was<br />

the year before. Now that we know who they are,<br />

we have to find better ways to reach out to them.<br />

We’ve learned that we need to be clearer about<br />

the rationale behind our High Holy Day parking<br />

policies. (Do any of you think it improves your<br />

chances of getting a spot on the lot if we send out<br />

1,800 parking passes for 150 spots instead of 900<br />

passes? If so, perhaps we could play cards<br />

together sometime.)<br />

Our special thanks go out to all of you who<br />

dealt with the ticket issues, the parking issues, the<br />

guest ticket issues, and so on with a smile,<br />

understanding and kind word. It meant and means<br />

a lot to all of us.<br />

Rabbi’s Message<br />

(Continued from page 2)<br />

of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine. Israel was<br />

officially voted into existence, and this became the happiest event in<br />

Jewish life since the beginning of the Common Era...until Israel’s<br />

own Declaration of Independence less than a year later.<br />

Did you know that Thanksgiving played an important part in<br />

passing the United Nations Partition Plan? The resolution was in<br />

danger of failing, so Pro-Zionist forces stalled the discussion and<br />

vote on Wednesday, November 27th. Thursday, November 28th was<br />

Thanksgiving and the U.N. was closed, allowing time to lobby still<br />

undecided nations. On Friday, November 29th, the resolution passed<br />

33 to 13, with 10 abstentions. You can tell that story at your<br />

Thanksgiving table this year, and talk about how this country, too,<br />

changed the Jewish past.<br />

Ultimately, the meaning of all these events will be determined by<br />

how we live today and tomorrow. The meaning of the past is the<br />

riddle. The answer is in the future.<br />

Rabbi Steven Lindemann<br />

Ritual Committee<br />

Youth Torah Readers<br />

On Shmini Atzeret, October 4, 2007, we heard from several<br />

of our recent B'nei Mitzvah students and several of our Pre-B'nei<br />

Mitzvah students.<br />

We say Kol Hakavod to: Moriah Schervone and Max Cohen<br />

who returned to read after their<br />

B'nei Mitzvah, and look<br />

forward to hearing more from<br />

them in the future.<br />

In addition, Jeremy<br />

Gubman, Shani Prutchi, Alex<br />

Molder, Marlee Zietz and<br />

Edward Gelernt read from the<br />

Torah. This group has read for<br />

Mrs. Spechler’s youth services<br />

before, and will surely be reading for her services again, as well as<br />

for Mrs. Lindemann’s services in the future.<br />

Another group of youngsters learned the special High Holy<br />

Day trope and read Torah for the various youth services on the<br />

High Holy Days. These students are: Rachel Dragon, Rebecca<br />

Dragon, Gillian Ranes, David Golkow, Melinda Schulner, Rachel<br />

Cohen, Elizabeth Siegel, Miriam Teller and Leat Rosov. Yasher<br />

Koach to all!<br />

Any children who are interested in reading Torah for the<br />

youth services and any adults who wish to read in the main<br />

sanctuary should call me at 856-424-4145.<br />

Library Corner<br />

There are two new books that<br />

I’d like to recommend this<br />

month: “The Zookeeper’s Wife”<br />

by Diane Ackerman and<br />

“Gentlemen of the Road” by<br />

Michael Chabon. The first is<br />

non-fiction and the second, most<br />

definitely, fiction.<br />

First, Ms. Ackerman’s book.<br />

Every so often, an extraordinary<br />

book comes along and this is<br />

certainly one of them. This<br />

Holocaust book is an exemplary<br />

work of scholarship that tells the<br />

story of Jan Zabinski, the director<br />

of the Warsaw Zoo and his wife,<br />

Antonia. Resourceful and<br />

courageous, the Zabinskis turned<br />

the decimated zoo into a refuge,<br />

and saved the lives of several<br />

hundred Jews. Ackerman takes<br />

us to the Warsaw Ghetto and the<br />

1943 Jewish Uprising, and<br />

describes the Poles’ revolt<br />

against the Nazi occupiers in<br />

1944. The book is moving, funny<br />

and terrifying.<br />

I urge you to listen to the<br />

interview that Marty Moss-<br />

Coane did with Diane Ackerman<br />

on her show Radio Times on<br />

WHYY 91-FM. Access the<br />

interview anytime at<br />

www.whyy.org. Click on<br />

“Radio,” then on “Radio Times,”<br />

and then put Diane Ackerman in<br />

the Search Box. Click on the<br />

highlighted “Listen To” link. It’s<br />

a wonderful interview.<br />

One of Moss-Coane’s favorite<br />

authors is Michael Chabon. He’s<br />

published two books in six<br />

months, and they’re both<br />

winners, which is why he’s been<br />

all over the media lately (see the<br />

cover story in the latest issue of<br />

Hadassah Magazine for a good<br />

article). He is a “delicious”<br />

Parents Staying One Jewish Step Ahead<br />

The YMG kicked off its year of programs with<br />

Session #1 of the series “Stay One Jewish Step<br />

Ahead of Your Child.” Led by Rabbis Levenson<br />

and Peltz, the one-hour classes are designed to<br />

keep parents in touch with what their children are<br />

learning about the holidays in school. Through<br />

interactive discussions and hands-on projects,<br />

parents get a refresher course on Jewish holiday<br />

“basics,” and gain ideas for celebrating the<br />

holidays at home with fun, meaningful activities.<br />

For the first session, our rabbis led discussions<br />

about Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah,<br />

with parents sharing their children’s questions,<br />

and the rabbis responding with creative, kidfriendly<br />

answers. The morning culminated with<br />

Rabbi Peltz demonstrating some fun (and edible!)<br />

holiday crafts. Everyone rolled up their sleeves,<br />

and left with a tasty Sukkah to take home. It was<br />

a great way for some of our younger members to<br />

Rabbi Peltz working alongside Rabbi Levenson and Karen<br />

Baer, to construct an edible Sukkah at the recent "Stay One<br />

Jewish Step Ahead of Your Child" YMG event.<br />

spend the morning together, while getting to<br />

know TBS’ rabbis.<br />

The next class will focus on Hanukkah, and<br />

will be held at 9:15 am on Wednesday,<br />

November 28.<br />

Future classes will give parents ideas for<br />

celebrating Tu B’Shevat, Purim and Pesach.<br />

We hope to see you there!<br />

young man whose talent is amazing and highly<br />

varied. He’s quite intent on not repeating himself in<br />

terms of genre and has the ability to write in many<br />

styles successfully.<br />

His latest novel is called “Gentlemen of the<br />

Road” and has been described as “brimming with<br />

breathless action, raucous humor, cliff-hanging<br />

suspense, and a cast of colorful characters worthy<br />

of Scheherazade’s most tantalizing tales. “This<br />

historical adventure takes place in 10th Century<br />

Khazaria, the fabled kingdom of wild, red-haired<br />

Jews on the western shore of the Caspian Sea.” It is<br />

terrific.<br />

back in Hebrew School, the Library will be open on<br />

You will undoubtedly be surprised<br />

to learn that, in an average week,<br />

TBS receives over 50 calls on our<br />

main number from congregants<br />

asking us to look up the phone<br />

number of another congregant.<br />

While we understand that it is<br />

easier to just call us, it can also be<br />

very disruptive to the many other<br />

things going on in the office at any particular time.<br />

You may not be aware that there is a no-cost<br />

alternative. Just call 1-800-FREE-411 (1-800-373-3411)<br />

Rabbi Lindemann will also<br />

participate in a panel discussion<br />

This year, we are building on the idea of<br />

networking with other members, in terms of<br />

fraternity and building bonds of friendship. We<br />

know how busy life can be, but we’re asking you<br />

to set aside 20 or 40 minutes to meet other<br />

members at any of our great programs. You will<br />

see that age doesn’t matter when it comes to<br />

learning something new or having a good time.<br />

TBS Men’s Club Wins Two National Awards<br />

The TBS Men’s Club was honored this past<br />

summer at the National Federation of Jewish<br />

Men’s Club Convention in Chicago. We received<br />

a Torch Award for Best Overall Activities for our<br />

programming over the past two years, as well as<br />

the Quality Club Award. FJMC sets the criteria<br />

for this award, and our Men’s Club met that<br />

criteria. There are 21 clubs in the Middle Atlantic<br />

Region, and TBS was one of only two clubs to<br />

receive this national award. Immediate Past<br />

President Marc Cohen , Middle Atlantic Regional<br />

President and Past President Joe Swerdlow and I<br />

attended the ceremony.<br />
