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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

hear me talking during services<br />
Where no one will see me sleeping<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
